The problem is humans are all so similar and predictable from a few signals. There are maybe 20 buckets for all of humanity and even if you `anonymize the ledger`, it's going to be trivial to reconstruct your likes, preferences, i.e. which bucket you fit in, based on a few of those signals. Which to advertisers and others, is all that matters. I'm reminded of the `Life of Brian` where a crowd says in unison `We're all individuals`.

Thank you for this. It helped bring something into focus in my mind that I'd been struggling with.

I keep kicking myself for not being more willing to exercise, but I've also recently discovered that my body severely overreacts to stress, even what should be eu-stress, not dis-stress. For example, massage therapy aggravates my muscles and leaves my body more tense and less resilient. I finally started making progress on healing some physical anomalies only after I stopped the recommended massage therapy.

It's made me realize maybe I'll have better luck with "strolling" than "going for a walk," or making up interpretive dances to smooth music than "dancing" to up-tempo beats. Perhaps I just need much more movement, but a lot less intensity than most people.
The emphasis should be on "less 'ad-full'" -- that is the "experience" it provides, a significant reduction in advertising.

I dislike indeterminate lag between input and action.

With an automatic, there's a threshold where the car decides to downshift when asking for a particular increase in forward velocity; that set point will wander depending on current RPM state and velocity and drive gear ratio.

Modern cars are bad enough with turbos and fancy valve timing and throttle by wire stuff where the behavior of the thing is a big stack of jitter, but adding a transmission to the mix makes the response times even more random.

At least with a manual transmission, the behavior of the throttle pedal is far more predictable and direct -- down the engine will go faster (modulo the current drive gear) and up the engine will slow down and slow the car down. Often you're in the incorrect gear for a particular desired acceleration but there's a feedback loop that you participate in to recognize / avoid the issue (mash pedal, not much happens because you're in the wrong gear, you get feedback and decide to change gears). With an automatic, you're just yelling down to the engine room asking the hamster to get on a different wheel.
Well, I'd argue that it's just two different names for similar concepts, but applied at different levels. WAL is a low-level implementation detail, usually for durability, while Event Source is a architecture applied to solve business problems.

A WAL would usually disappear or truncate it's length after a while, and you'd only rerun things from it if you absolutely have two. Changes in business requirements shouldn't require you to do anything with a WAL.

In contrast, Event sourcing log would be kept indefinitely, so when business requirements change, you could (if you want to, not required) re-run N previous events so you can apply new changes to old data in your data storage.

But, if you really want to, it's basically the same, but in the end, applied differently :)
i don't know if this counts as hyperfocus, so i'll just call it focus

i can focus on something only when i can detach from everything else. that can be difficult to achieve. because it means that i can forget to take a lunch break, miss meetings, or skip other responsibilities. so most often i am afraid to focus because of all these sideeffects.

that means in order for me to be able focus on something someone has to take care of everything else that requires planning or thinking ahead. sometimes that is not possible. forget focus if i had a fight with my wife and have to worry about what happens when i get home.

on the other hand focus can also be used to avoid some other unpleasant task. the only way to solve that was to find ways to make that task less unpleasant.

I've had a lot of family time in the hospital systems in a relatively well-managed part of the US. And, I worked in the 'back office' of a medical system a while ago. Talking to billing people, etc, I came to the conclusion that "reform" with existing vested interests is... not going to happen. I don't know what a _good_ solution is, but I can imagine the least painful way is to have a parallel universe of MDs with a wholly different billing, licensing, board-certification regime.

One interesting question is: why is one hospital's rate for procedure X different than another? how can providers work at different hospitals? The answer lies somewhere in the "it's a maze of subcontractor relationships", "it's a maze of one off insurance contracts"...

It's a very good example of why vertical integration beats subcontracting. :)

When you get a surprise food safety inspection, you are notified right? They don't just break into your business without your knowledge and look around. You can refuse them entry, even if it comes with consequences later. They also aren't a random civilian, they have some sort of qualification to be conducting these inspections

That's what I'm getting at. People keep assuming I am saying protect the business at all cost and it's not the case. I want security research to stop getting sandbagged by discussions of legality.

We should make a legal path forward for security research to be more accessible and to promote behavioral differences between someone conducting research and someone trying to exploit or abuse a vulnerability.

In that sense a plant is as much a factory as an animal, and all foods are processed before they are harvested.

If this is an argument that "processing" isn't really a useful concept, I'll disagree, because it's clear that post-harvest processing has a very significant effect.

I’d say it’s language-based. In English, 10.000 means 10. In many other European languages, it means 10000. In some languages I speak, large numbers are separated with a comma every fourth numeral.

In any case, it’s a good idea to follow the conventions of the language you’re using if your goal is to communicate with all of its speakers and not just a subgroup.
It wasn’t too bad, the movie spanned 4 months from outbreak to vaccine. Pfizer’s Covid trial started 5 months after outbreak. If Covid was killing 20% like the virus in the movie, we could have matched or beaten the movie timeline.
To start with: it's not that much infra cost.

Especially since you don't even know what you're attempting to optimise for.

Latency? p99 of linux is fine, nobody is going to care that the request took 300μs longer. Even in aggregate across a huge fleet of machines waiting an extra 3ms is totally, totally fine.

Throughput? you'll bottleneck on something else most likely anyway, getting a storage array to hydrate at line rate for 100GBPs is difficult and anyway you want to do authentication and distribution of chunks and metadata operations anyway? right?

You're forgetting that it's likely an additional cost of a couple million dollars per year in absolute hardware to solve that issue with throughput, which is, in TCO terms, a couple of developers.

Engineering effort to replace the foundation of an OS? Probably an order of magnitude more. Definitely contains a significant amount more risk, and the potential risk of political backlash for upheaving some other companies workflow that is weird.

Hardware isn't so expensive really.

Of course, you could just bypass the kernel with much less effort and avoid all of this shit entirely.

Duplo's were the go-to toy in my house for years. The larger size makes it much easier to find pieces in "the big box of Lego" than standard Lego's. Duplo and Lego, in general, have amazing longevity — they were the best toy investment we made over the years. :-).

As an aside, these articles are the gems that keep me coming back to HN.
Not trying to be rude, but do you have an example of the “http server and proxy” case? Seems to me if the server is vulnerable, then a proxy in your situation just makes it easier to exploit?
You missed the point. It doesn't matter where competition comes from, this whole campaign is about loosening the grip a handful of companies ("gatekeepers") have over de facto monopolies.

In short, this would benefit smaller players everywhere.

Why would they triple your rates? Insurance regulators do not let insurers increase premiums unless they have evidence showing the new data indicates a higher risk factor.

So if you are getting your rates tripled, then you were being subsidized by safer drivers before, which seems like something that should be fixed.

Dash cams have already probably given insurers a better idea on who is a riskier driver and who is not since collisions can now be more accurately attributed to the at fault party.
Actually, right now there's a significant chance that mined diamonds are blood diamonds. Russia took over the international diamond industry after the collapse of DeBeer's monopoly, and naturally they claim any conflict they're involved in doesn't make their diamonds conflict diamonds, but on the other hand Wagner is being paid in mineral extraction rights for their actions in some very bloody African conflicts.
If I can get on my soapbox: physical activity is still very underrated, especially by people who spend a lot of time on the computer. I have so many colleagues with anxieties and other pathologies that would be greatly relieved by even modest physical activity.

But there are good cultural reasons why nerds avoid physical activity. North American cultural tropes, especially from high school on up, make out physical activity to be a kind of war. It is supposed to require extreme discipline and a punitive degree of focus. It's supposed to separate winners from losers. Those who are lesser (too weak, too fat, too short, too... whatever) are just embarrassing and should not try to do physical things in public view, unless they are trying to atone for their weaknesses with self-flagellation.

Lately I decided I would do physical activity but only when it was fun. I had no goals at all other than fun. I had to do something every other day and then stop when it wasn't fun. Sometimes this meant very short bursts of activity, or going to the gym for ten minutes and then leaving. I also explicitly was not trying to lose weight at all. I was trying to hack my psychology and associate physical activity with pleasure.

I think it's working. I'm much stronger and my endurance is much higher. I set myself goals just for fun at the gym or on my bike and then complete them.

And, full disclosure, I haven't lost any weight at all (in accordance with my goals!) but my body composition appears to be changing somewhat.
I think Gauche is better than Guile. Its manual is easier to navigate, its standard library is huge, and it's fast enough for anything I'd ever need it to do. Both tools are fine, but personally I'd choose Gauche of Guile every time.

Are you describing what is in the article, or what happens in the real world? If you are describing what happens in real life, I basically agree, it is good that we’re pushing for diversity. But the article has quotes like:

> For example, within hedge funds, the ideal entry-level candidate might be an experienced former investment banker who went to a top MBA program. This preferred pedigree sets a minimum bar for both competence and work ethic. This first-pass filter enormously winnows the field of underrepresented candidates. To relax requirements for diversity’s sake, this will be diluted in various ways. First, the work experience might be stripped. Next, the role gets offered to MBA interns.

And

> By the 1960s, the systematic selection for competence came into direct conflict with the political imperatives of the civil rights movement. During the period from 1961 to 1972, a series of Supreme Court rulings, executive orders, and laws—most critically, the Civil Rights Act of 1964—put meritocracy and the new political imperative of protected-group diversity on a collision course.

I don’t see how it could be read in a way that is compatible with your description.

I think the article is (as I read it) wrong.
Consumer safety is long term optimized by having competition. Multi-goal optimization is essential. Try to optimize for just one thing and you’ll quickly go off the rails as a regulator.
That's absolutely false. For example, I buy a brand medication in Europe without insurance for price many times lower than the generic drug in the State's copay! There numerous examples, but most recent example is my wife's Levothyroxine. I buy a German-made medication for $1 in Bulgaria. In the States, a generic version made by noname Indian company has a $10 copay. Same with the Metformin I buy. The original brand medication (Glucophage) I get at around $2/month supply. And this is just meds.

The most advanced MRI in Bulgaria costs without insurance cost a fraction of the copay in the States.

Same for labs. I recently got a comprehensive labs including advanced lipid profile (with lipoprotein(A) and ApoB, cholesterol fractions, etc.) for less than $20 out of pocket with no insurance. Same with my wife's thyroid test - full picture, not just TSH for less than $15. All self-ordered by the way! No need for intermediary companies to authorize it - you just go directly to a lab, which keeps the costs low as there's fierce competition for your business unlike in America where Labcorp and Quest keep the prices ultrahigh!

An quantified American (by Abbott) COVID-19 IgM + IgG antibody test in Bulgaria was less than $20 - here a yes/no test starts at $75.

Again, I'm talking about paying pure cost plus hefty private companies' margins here - no subsidy, no insurance, all up-to-date technology and materials.

The margins in America are unimaginable for any humane organization anywhere in the world. Healthcare should never be a business!
In the US, the government has access to 100% of the information the corporations have.

Also, corporations have all sorts of power over us that should be reserved for the government. For instance, they control electronic currency, freedom of association (online), and your ability to distributed and purchase most media.

The government has been able to use onstar to deactivate GMC vehicles at will for over a decade. Of course, GM can do this too.
More accurately no return in our lifetimes.
That's one of the pitfalls of writing custom licenses. The standard ones, say Apache 2.0, have had a lot of eyes on them and generally make sense and have a clear intent. I'm sure whoever wrote this version has an intent that's not yet clearly and unambiguously reflected in the writing, and so they risk both looking silly but also people avoiding the license due to too much ambiguity and confusion. Why would any user want to take on the liability of this license when it's not clearly understandable?
For this kind of editing, I like to keep a scratch file (I use notational velocity, but any plain text file works) with sections denoted by Markdown pull-quotes `>` so I can track where I moved them from and what I'm thinking about them. I then use three octothorps `###` to denote breaks between "sections" which is especially helpful when I'm working across multiple documents.

I'll also use diff tools built into Vim/Neovim as well to show progress. I personally like the diffing feature and since I normally edit everything in a Vim-like editor it helps me stay focused with the tools I like.

tldr; I use Notational Velocity to capture ideas or copied text, then create an A and B document while I'm editing to determine progress. I repeat the process as needed. But not usually more than two or three times.
