Why am I not surprised that the top voted comment on Hacker News is one that ignorantly states only one side of an issue which just happens to benefit corporations at the expense of everyone else? HN can always be trusted to present the pro-corporate, anti-human take.

"Under the patchwork of laws existing prior to adoption of HIPAA and the Privacy Rule, personal health information could be distributed—without either notice or authorization—for reasons that had nothing to do with a patient's medical treatment or health care reimbursement. For example, unless otherwise forbidden by State or local law, without the Privacy Rule patient information held by a health plan could, without the patient’s permission, be passed on to a lender who could then deny the patient's application for a home mortgage or a credit card, or to an employer who could use it in personnel decisions."[1]

That's what's on the HHS website, and that's a mild example of what was happening prior to HIPAA. Health information was being used to out gays and HIV patients, discover people's race, bypass due process, stalk women, etc. With data being weaponized against individuals more and more, we have good reason to believe that this would be worse in 2023 if these laws didn't exist, not better.

Yes, I'm aware of the burden that this puts on medical research. Behaving ethically is hard sometimes--get over it. You don't get a free pass to use people's private data without their consent. You might claim that you're only going to use that data for good, but the fact that you think bypassing people's basic human rights is acceptable shows that you don't have a working moral compass. You can't be trusted to only use people's data for good.

The fact that you wrote three paragraphs on this topic and didn't even mention the rights of the patient shows me I don't want you to have access to my medical data, let alone having authority to make decisions about who else can see my medical data. You're not a person who will make that decision ethically and responsibly.

Articles like this are incredibly disingenuous.

Tying fossil fuel use to every weather event that deviates from the mean only causes people to tune out.

If the goal is to have the words “climate change” to retain any meeting, they need to better pick their battles.
Too late? I already lost a ton of data in the covid purge. (was active user of /r/NoNewNormal) Every comment, post or interaction on a banned sub is suddenly deleted permanently with no way to retrieve it. That's really losing data, not a made up crisis of "enshittification."

Most people worried about the API change have the "correct politics" so your data is safe. It's only people who participate in wrongthink that need to backup everything.

According to my technician friends, yes. Apparently on most devices, USB-C ports are much less robustly attached than USB-A and are more prone to failure. Just because it's fine on Macs doesn't mean it's fine everywhere else.

You can't even detect the attack. I've seen 1s that are well disguised or the patterns are so short there's not enough data to tell if it's an attack or real traffic. And yet it's enough to crash your connection or the service itself.

As long as the laws and their enforcement are just, a theoretical government profit motive doesn't seem like a bad thing.

But it's hard to see how the particular people who brought this case to bear would be motivated by the small slice of the increase in federal funding that would redound to them. And it's not consistent with most of the government's behavior -- it doesn't spend as many resources extracting judgments from big corporations as would be likely if its profit motive loomed large.
Interesting, and it's cool to see an illustration of how weird it is that there's no quick way to cross the park!

Is Lemmy the leading candidate for a viable reddit replacement? Are there any other serious efforts in this space?

HN has such an insane depth of talent that I am surprised I haven't seen a few ShowHN posts that read something like:

"Hi guys, I was bored last weekend so I thought it would be fun to build a reddit clone as a single Rust binary with an imbedded bespoke graph database. It uses a fine tuned LLaMA model for optional auto-moderation. So far it's handling sustained 1.6M / posts sec on my 2015 MacBook Pro. If I have some time this next week I will add distributed mode with Raft or CRDTs. Hope you guys like it."
Of course this is "fixable", Lua is just software.

There is also nothing wrong with One based indexing. Zero based indexing exists for historical reasons and because most people are comfortable with it they feel uncomfortable with the alternative, that is easily overcome though.

As an aside, the One based indexing is the mathematical convention, which is why e.g. MATLAB consciously choose it.

>Why hasn't anyone in the world just forked the language to be 0-based?

Significant amount of effort for an extremely minor change.
That’s reassuring. There are some subs like StableDiffusion that I don’t want to lose. So much original work and history on Reddit.

That might not be an entirely wrong assumption to make. An office worker's working hours usually has some amount of slack, and people are willing to adjust their schedule to minimize wait time. No point waiting 25 minutes every day when you can get up 5 minutes earlier and wait basically zero.

> The reason some cheep chineese electronics with USB-C connectors can only charge with USB-A to USB-C cables, not with USB-C to USB-C cables is that they skipped the CC pins entirely.

Extra credit if it uses usb-pd to try to ask for 5v 5a.

Excuse me but, what?!
The difficulty now is that you'll have to compete against Stack Overflow, whereas Stack Overflow had to compete with the paywalled Experts Exchange. Both for-profit and non-profit will have a very hard time unless Stack Overflow really goes off the rails in Quora-style it will probably stick around.

Also I think people underestimate how much effort goes in to moderating Stack Overflow, and how delicate the entire system is. There's already a whole bunch of Open Source Q&A software out there and I'm sure one of them will work fine, that's not really the hard part, and managing servers is also "just" a matter of spending time. Moderating and managing it all is much harder and more time-consuming; there are people whose ability to hold down a job or finish their homework quite literally depends on being to ask questions on Stack Overflow: there's a lot of incentive to abuse the crap out of it, more so than many other sites.

This is a good primer.

For me, I got into watches from the history of timekeeping and the mutual role it played in astronomy and navigation. From the standpoint of history, just about any mechanical watch would serve to commemorate this history on my wrist.

A good first mechanical watch might be an Orient for $100.

From there, it's a matter of taste, materials, workmanship, polishing, features (like water/magnetic/shock resistance), heritage, maybe movements and complications. There are also different watches for different occasions and purposes. Different people like different things.

Watches are essentially obsolete except in some rare use cases. I look at my phone when I need to be somewhere on time.

I have found that outside of watch enthusiasts with their enthusiast hats on, nobody but me cares what I wear on my wrist. So it's entirely up to you and what you care about and are willing to spend money on. You don't need to spend thousands to appreciate mechanical watches and people who do usually have some particular interest that compels them to spend that much along with sufficient means not to miss the money.
Yea. Things we enjoy like cooked dishes that have wide appeal still say nothing if you are going to like that food. The only way for you to really know it to try it. Taste is highly objective.

Now, if the person before me eats a bite and falls to the ground dead, I'm going to skip lunch for that day.
I had idea of making adapters that have barrel jack on one side and USB-C port on the other. The 5V ones would be easier but would need ones for different voltages, which would either need USB-PD PPS or transformer in the adapter. They would currently be expensive and only for people who really hate wall warts. The other problem is that multi-port USB-C chargers are rare and expensive.

My impression is that most devices with barrel ports don't use that much power and would be fine without USB-PD. They use barrel ports because they were designed before USB-C or because USB-C port is too expensive. I supsect many would be fine with USB-C to USB-A cable and charger.
Requiring a business to report what it knows, but not requiring it to actually know in the first place, is a mess of enforcement challenge.

Instead, government should require disclosure of new chemicals, tax the chemical industry (or use general fund), and perform its own studies on new chemicals.
Huh. So apparently I'm in the minority here- I point a browser at www.reddit.com , skim a few favorite forums, maybe make a comment or two then do something else for the rest of the day.

IOW, is the sky not falling for my use-case?

I am not entirely sure that matters. Pissed-off fans undoubtedly want to see metaphorical blood for what, to their eyes, was a forced, ideologically-driven tarnishing of their childhood memories. At the end of the day, the buck stops at the top. Chapman was already punted as a general scapegoat, but is it enough?

That's certainly the bullshit narrative the billing department vampires want to push on you (the whole medical system revolves around punting responsibility on to someone else). But very rarely when you receive medical services is an actual contract being formed. Contracts require defined consideration, and some arbitrary numbers pulled out of a hat after the fact doesn't meet that bar.

Ask HN: What advice would you give to your 19 year old self?
"Prior to the long peace, there’s little question what happens to a country like Venezuela, which is essentially a giant pile of barely guarded wealth: one – or several – of its neighbors would move in, oust the government and seize the territory and its valuable resources (oil, in this case)."

While I don't advocate war and violence, I can't help think that such a hostile takeover of a poorly run country by another better run country can be perceived as creative destruction in capitalism. War is too costly now reassuringly, but the incentive of leaders to keep the country strong, economically as well as militarily, is much less. The fear of being wiped out by a neighbor may have kept leaders in check. Now that fear is gone, and nothing has replaced it yet. The optimist in me hopes that states abandon the pretense of being above markets. The fear we desire in those who run states, the fear that we hope will keep them in check, will be that of losing paying customers, their citizens, to other competitive jurisdictions.

Maybe the real value of the crypto rug pull isn’t the money you make but the list of suckers who will put money in a venture like that.

Security will almost always be found in products where it dependably increases profit. See comment about John Deere below.

But security is rarely found in products where it only might prevent the loss of profit.

The presence or absence of security in a product always reflects the incentive structure of the business that produces the product.

What’s the LD50 of a huge grain of salt.

While the mouse example of 1000mg/kg is ridiculously high, the monkey trial used 250mg/kg.

Assumption time: assume a 67kg human who consumes 3 cans of redbull a day (not especially unusual). they are ingesting 9000mg (total) per day, which comes out 135mg/kg. Given the easy availability of Taurine supplements in almost any pharmacy it’s not a stretch to see this pushed significantly higher.

Added to the above, this was an initial trial, and it’s very possible the therapeutic levels of Taurine supplementation may be significantly lower (there appeared to be a correlation of health and life extension between the mice and monkeys even with the significant difference in dosages) it’s very possible that the 3 can of red bull dosage is efficacious. Of course that could be mitigated by the high levels of sugar and caffeine but that is outside of the scope of this conversation.

To summarize : 250mg/kg was efficacious in monkeys and no lower bound was determined, it’s possible the amount of Taurine in 3 cans of redbull (assume 9000mg) per day is within the clinically effective range.

I believe we'll have more of these oh s** moments soon when people will finally realise why we need web3. Yes the whole space was full of scammers, charlatans but the technology and point was to create a substrate for networks on the internet.

The idea that these networks and communities need to run on centralised servers is archaic. The technology exists where people should be able to own their own network (followers, subs, following, posts).

Why? As a learning experience implementing backpropagation is extremely helpful, implementing an entire FNN/CNN from scratch is, to be honest.

Also Implementing some basic automatic differentiation is something you should probably have done once in your life you are interested in Machine learning or numerical mathematics.
Unlikely though. Nobody would want to buy the company whole as that would include all of this liability. Selling of the individual parts to raise funds for paying the debts of the unsold parts of the business entering bankruptcy seems like the only way to go

> At the heart of this mess is Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy

Took too long for the article to mention this. How can she possibly still have a job? It was her call to hire 3 different directors for the sequels (initially, I know Abrams came back) with no agreed upon direction of the plot. Complain about Rian Johnson’s (awful) episode 8, but ultimately it was Kennedy that gave him free reins to do what he wanted.

It’s just mind boggling that the very same company that’s done an amazing job building a unified “universe” with Marvel by Kevin Feige has done such an awful job with Star Wars by Kennedy.
