I am pretty sure I could wear a balaclava to Walmart. In fact early on in Covid during mask shortages I'm pretty sure I did wear basically the functional equivalent of a balaclava into a Walmart because I couldn't find N95s.

Admittedly France has tried this bullcrap with burkas before, but that's not exactly something anyone should be emulating, I think we'd pretty much all agree that "I'm sorry but for security reasons you can't buy groceries wearing a burka" is not an acceptable argument. Security doesn't grant free license to override other people's rights.

Bear in mind that the actual real-world examples of the argument "people shouldn't be able to wear masks in stores because of security risks" have for the most part mostly been examples of security being used as a justification to infringe on religious rights or to block marginalized/disabled people from taking reasonable safety measures to protect themselves from infectious disease.

If you're going to bring up an example of security overriding other concerns, at least bring up an example where security hasn't observably immediately become a slippery slope to infringing on people's rights and excluding them from society. Is "stores can ban you for wearing a mask" supposed to make me more comfortable with websites fingerprinting me? I mean, I know where that argument ends up in the real world, it never ends with balaclavas, we've had that argument in the real world and where it actually ends is with immunocompromised people not being able to buy groceries.

So I'm not sure any of this is really supporting your point. Anonymity should not be punished in physical or virtual spaces, and there are huge debates about de-anonymization, facial recognition, and tracking in both public and private physical spaces and for the most part we don't accept security as a justification for de-anonymization.

> but such papers have never come under the scrutiny of peer review process as well.

Except that such pre-prints far outnumber the supportive pre-prints, are from verifiable scientists at reputable institutions, are in agreement with each other, and are not making claims of a shocking scientific breakthrough.

As there is no substantial evidence to support superconductivity claims it's reasonable to dismiss them until said group decides to provide evidence. If you recall the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

> It is just frivolous to say whether LK-99 is superconductor or not for now.

I don't think it's frivolous given the distraction and resource-sink this has been.
I have the same problem. I can’t speak to this app but I used to be up for at least 2 hours reading on my phone finally falling asleep when I need to get up. What has been working for me the past few months are podcasts. Most times I’m back out in < 1 min. I really like Fall of Civilizations. In a distant second place would be Boring Books for Bedtime or Bedtime with Wikipedia. Really anything that doesn’t have loud noises or ads in the middle that you find soothing.

But yes, not waking up at all at 4am would be great.
This concern I also share and it's probably worth converting into layman's terms so that all computer users understand what it is. Basically the job scheduler Behavior in the OS needs to surface to the user with understandable language they can read so they can make the trade-off decision.
As an old school server side Java dev, I boggle at the hoops folks jump through to get stuff done when it comes to packaging.

We had two large dependencies: the JDK, and the app server (our container, like Tomcat). Maven, that we’ve had forever, for library dependency. The resulting War files were effectively self contained.

JDKs were trivially installed, explode it somewhere (anywhere) and set JAVA_HOME. App servers were the same. Self contained directory trees. Install as many as you like, just change the port they used. Or just add another War to the one you have already. Pros and cons.

War files were essentially static linked, carrying all of their libraries. Self contained blob you could drag and drop into a directory and watch the server shutdown your old version and fire up the new one.

Sure, we had our bit of DLL Hell, rarely when building the app. I’m certainly not going to suggest we never had class loader issues.

And enterprise Java has a notoriety all its own, but packaging was pretty low on the list. But we didn’t need Docker, or dedicated VMs or anything like that. Our OS dependencies were all handled by the JDK. Java didn’t have any shared library concerns. I honestly never questioned it, either it was statically linked, or just entirely self contained outside of the C library. Everything else was in Java. OpenSSL, for example, was never an issue.

I’m on board though, I loathe packaging. I’m not a big fan of arcane parameters passed on over the council fire and tea. Just never been my drive.

Eh, I feel like a perspective shift is needed. Don't think of it as "oh I'm not at the frontier and I never will be, therefore I'm depressed." Instead, marvel at how extremely difficult it is to reach the frontier, and be grateful for the fact that there are humans out there who are able to make that difficult journey to the forefront of their fields, slowly dragging the rest of us up with them. I used to think similarly to you, but over time I've just become happy with the fact that technology will continue to march forward regardless of whether or not I'm contributing anything to it.

> The real problem here is the x86 architecture

Even if we could say for sure that x86 has been disproportionately affected by speculative execution bugs (which already seems dubious), that could easily be due to a kind of selection bias. Presumably security researchers as a group more or less focus on the most popular and relevant ISAs/microarchitectures.
Work-Life Balance and the Developer Experience
>The second thing I do is limit the work tools on my phone and personal tools on my computer. On my phone, I don’t have Slack (our company’s main mode of communication). And on my work computer, I don’t integrate it with my personal accounts - i.e., no texting or checking personal accounts on my work computer. I try to keep these two devices as disconnected from one another as possible.

This is inspiring to me - always trying managing work&life balance. Every time I almost reach that point and "ding!" a work message tears everything down.
While your response is clever, I am not writing a communication piece for a large bank.

> I'm not sure how you can determine the background of someone by how fluently they can write a language - particularly when the piece in question is written better than what most college students in the US can produce.

Perhaps not so much grammatically, but the text intonation and others parts of the text do not give the proper formal tone of the comm.

As if this piece of information is some high bar to overcome.

Sounds like a reason to use a front-end like FreeTube and skip directly interacting with YouTube altogether.
IMHO, there's a bit of confusion around terminology here. People aren't really mandating "MFA" unless they're requiring Yubikeys or something. But they are requiring TOTP, and adding TOTP to your login flow does mitigate certain kinds of attacks (though, of course not others).

So maybe we should just be more honest about what we call things. "True" MFA is too inconvenient for most people - even banking apps are not only happy to let you log in from exactly the same device that they will send verification codes to, they usually make more secure workflows more of a pain too. But we're still gaining some additional security by having one-time codes that can't as easily be stolen without having access to the device.

This might be true in an absolute sense, but I'm really skeptical that it's true in a meaningful relative sense, because nobody has ever listed (to my knowledge) environmental habitats or biomes which are not sensitive.

Like, if someone said "the Aleutians are extremely sensitive, but the Marianas are an OK place to have an oil spill all things equal" I'd grant the former more weight.

And if the the counter is "all environments are sensitive" well OK, great, but that doesn't really help us make decisions in the real world.

Unencrypted? Technically, it wouldn’t have to be. Surely if you can run a whole Win95 PC in JS these days you can do good old-fashioned public key encryption right? So you could encrypt the whole sensitive part of the cart and put it in the email body.

Note: I’m sure no normal people would buy from such a store unless they were our type of nerds who were explained what the deal was. But as a thought experiment I think it’s perfectly possible.

Glad to see this pushed. We went to look how Go was handling constant time comparisons and noticed it was not. This is not considered a serious security issue, as

I think I’m using “gatekeeping” exactly as colloquially used.

None of your complaints about the prevention of development have any bearing on the specific fact that the initial complaint was that “some things in other places are older.”

And lastly, because throwaway accounts are a way to disingenuously say things you’d never say with your own name tied to them. So, aside from pointing out technical inaccuracies, there’s little point in discussion - nothing said can be considered earnest or honest.

Is is that crazy to think that a wild swing in steroid hormone levels can lead to depression - similar to what we observe when men come off of steroid cycles? If so, is something like post cycle therapy for women recovering from pregnancy really that crazy of an idea?

I don’t know enough to speak intelligently about the underlying biology, but an interesting theory I heard from someone more knowledgeable than me is that the sudden drop in progesterone - which tamps down neuroinflammation - sends the microglia (immune cells of the brain) into overdrive which results in rapid destruction of neural tissue which is experienced by the patient as profound feelings of unhappiness / depression. This is not unlike the runaway inflammatory response that kills people with COVID — which is why dexamethosone (an immunosuppressant) reduces mortality.
Ask HN: Why is everything sucking now?
Computers were supposed to make things better, make us smarter, allow us to do things we couldn't do without them.

Now when my wife wants to watch a show on Max (not HBO, or HBO Max), I have to context switch because the credentials are hung off my Cellphone tethering plan and memorized by my keychain and not hers.

I'll mis-type something on my phone's keyboard and it'll mis-recognize it so bad I can't back up to get what word it actually, successfully, recognized...then it'll typo it again, then misdetect the backspace and a mispelling ends up falling down several paragraph breaks and it takes you 8 times the effort to make a sentence that's error free...only to have it misspell something the hot second you hit send, making you sound like an idiot.

I'll hit the website for the Barber on my PC and none of the employee OR service panes load, just empty grey boxes.

I'll try to reserve parking at the airport, and I can't reset the password because my email isn't registered, but I can't create an account because someone (me) apparently already used my email.

We've moved to Windows Hello and smart MFA at work...which has the interesting effect of making me forget my password, now because I only use it a handful of times a week.

The office sandbox prevents you from cutting and pasting text to keep the office data safe....but you can screenshot it and then OCR the data....so it's still just security theatre.

And I'm a savvy guy with decades of experience in IT...what's it like for non-technical people?

Idk if you’re aware of this but in the 90s it was possible, and amateurs with personal websites used to do this a lot, to use a mailto: url as a form action. I forget the exact formatting browsers would use, but it would send the form fields in the email body. Obviously it only worked if you had a mail client configured, and I never saw a commercial website use it.

This may still work today, someone should try it.

That's not the only attack vector that is mitigated by TOTP. If a hacker is somehow able to intercept your password and your TOTP for a short period of time (e.g. because you're in an unsecured network at Starbucks or something), they can do exactly nothing with that knowledge afterwards. They won't be able to perform a replay attack, and they won't be able to guess your next TOTP, or any that comes after. The "only" thing they can do is attack you right at the moment where you're using the insecure network (e.g. with some sort of MITM attack).
C++ addresses this with the `explicit` specifier: all single-argument constructors are inherently conversion operators so don't need to be labeled "implicit" as they are in C#.

This makes sense: people are already unsurprised when they initialize a float with an integer. `float foo = 1;` doesn't put a 1 bit in the lsb, but initializes the float to 1.0.

But sometimes (often!) you don't want that, so specify your constructor as `explicit` and then it won't convert something else to satisfy your constructor's argument specification.
You are comparing numbers taken from two different sources using two different methodologies, that isn't going to work. You need to take from one data set or do a lot of work to adapt "Govt of China" numbers and "Govt of Mexico" numbers.

> In the future, when discussing economic metrics, I recommend sourcing directly from that Nation or State's Statistical Agency.

This doesn't work. You are basically taking apples from one place and comparing them to oranges from another place. Unless you are willing to do a few years of meta-research to see how the numbers really compare with each other, they can't be compared in any meaningful way.

You are basically stating that all agencies that compare China and Mexico GPD/per capita along with incomes are wrong? Because I don't think you can find an aggregated data set out there anymore that has Mexico richer than China by most income and per-capita measures (and anyways, this only happened a couple of years ago, a couple of years in the future it will be no contest).
I can't help but wonder if we're talking at cross purposes here? I would consider a "pay package" or "compensation package" to include salary, bonus (in some form: average, max, ???), and equity. That has been the standard "total compensation" for every tech company I've worked for and every tech company at which I've been offered a position. I would not consider: the employer's share of health insurance premiums, 401k matching, "health and wellness" benefits, transit benefits, catered food, coffee, or toilet paper in the office restrooms to be part of the "pay package" because none of that is pay.

If my expectations are genuinely unusual then I guess I consider myself quite fortunate!
email blacklisting could be considered a walled garden at this point. big providers are the only real option if you want guaranteed delivery these days. people will say otherwise but you don't always know when you're blacklisted by an email provider
This might be a hard problem. To illustrate, I'm assuming that you are using the degree of mobility as a proxy for the normal->depressed spectrum. Consider the following hypothetical:

1. User owns a robust dog that likes walks and rough-housing;

2. User's dog dies;

3. User replaces dog with a puppy, that moves about 1/3 the speed of the first dog.

From 1 to 3, the user's mobility declines sharply. Does your app diagnose depression? I'm sure this hypothetical is the tip of the iceberg. Now you may have other metric you measure, as well. But if gross mobility is the chief input to your algorithm, you may find that many, many more inputs are necessary to even start to approximate a professional's diagnosis.

Calling it "LK-99" seems to have been a mistake. It gives the impression that the term refers to a well-defined material, perhaps even a mass-produced product like "iPhone 14" or "RTX 4080". This explains all the calls for the original authors to send samples, as if you were ordering from AliExpress.

In reality, what we have is a family of lead-copper-phosphorus-oxygen compounds, each with a different crystal structure, some of which might or might not exhibit interesting properties.

If this hype doesn't fizzle out soon, scientists will probably converge on more neutral, precise terminology to refer to the various configurations in order to avoid talking past one another. Something like β-LK99-Cu-5-7.

You're an exception. Plenty of people are just fine with pulling up the ladder after them. Second generation immigrants don't like immigration, people that benefited from free tuition want to make schools paid and so on. It's really insane if you stop to think about it long enough: our whole society is based on the fact that we have each other, and yet, we can't spare a dime for our fellows because we're on a short leash ourselves and 'keeping up' is a big part of our satisfaction. All of this is programmed against you and anybody that wants to change the system is ostracized. And that's all before you get into the really big problems, this is just personal stuff.
