I wanted to highlight what actually is worthwhile about BC for what I assume are still quite a few people. But you are right, your comment really improved the discussion.
One argument would be

How can you NOT keep track of “keep track of your credit card(s), bank account(s), possibly your significant other's as well, subscriptions, fees, automated payments, cash in/out, taxes, varying income, investment returns, savings, balances on platforms you may use like wise/revolut (for travel) in different currencies, automated "fees" like interest on savings, loans, which may change every now and then, etc?”.

There’s a lot of people who would absolutely panic at the thought that they have all their money flowing around and they can’t even keep track of it.

Also, there’s an argument that if your finances are so complex that you can’t keep track of it (and youre not wealthy enough to pay someone to keep track of it) maybe that in itself is the problem, and that you need to simplify your finances.

Also, is it really that hard? Is it harder to note that you spent money buying something, or transferred money internationally than to actually spend that money buying the thing or transfer it internationally?

And recurring expenses are fairly easy to keep track of with even the most legacy software solutions.
This is the downside of centralized Identity Providers, they become a more and more tempting target the more people that use them.

EDIT:

Update after looking through the article the important bit is

>In an advisory sent to an undisclosed number of customers on Oct. 19, Okta said it “has identified adversarial activity that leveraged access to a stolen credential to access Okta’s support case management system. The threat actor was able to view files uploaded by certain Okta customers as part of recent support cases.”

So it wasn't a full breach so much as someone was able to get in and view the support tickets customers have opened. Which although bad isn't nearly as bad as losing a bunch of people's keys. (again)
These revelations make me continuously lose trust in the integrity of Brussels. I my eyes, they are too far away, too diverse, and too big to be trusted.
Elections are nearing, however, and perhaps we might effect a change. Keep in mind, people voting for your chains have names and parties promoting those very names...
If any of the world's small business were offered millions of dollars in secondaries they would secure their families too.
How are they not losing all their customers confidence and seeing them leave is a real mystery to me. Same for LastPass.

Both are bad at the very thing they’re supposed to provide and be good at.
Be careful. Any system that stops behavior that you don't want might also stop the thing that you are trying to help from being created in the first place
You don't even need to go that far. Their confused comparisons to crypto is telling enough lol.
Swift, Nim , D and others are able to offer similar capabilities without being such a hack, rather a proper designed language feature.
Twitter used to be quite useful for breaking news stories. A couple of times a year I'd find out about something big currently happening via Reddit, and jump on Twitter to keep track of it as it was developing.

There was always plenty of misinformation, but you'd still find out about the facts an hour or more before it'd be reported on mainstream media. Of course, by the time it hit mainstream media Twitter would pretty much instantly become useless due to all the "thoughts and prayers" retweet pollution, and spammers hijacking the hashtags.

Can't say I ever loved it, though.
I mean, you don't have to do everything all the time. I certainly don't feel any transcendence right now.

I'm not sure what your point is, beyond perhaps "don't do drugs all the time?" If that's it, I don't think anyone here would object.
If I were him I'd be pretty scared. I doubt he makes it a year after he gets out. No one in crypto will ever trust him again, and plenty of people will be hunting him down.
It's my favorite language for writing scripts and automating tasks.
Where did I say that? I was responding to the ill-informed rant about state-govt websites and corruption while hilariously ignoring the article stems from corruption and issues in the original healthcare.gov website.

>While many SSDs come with hardware-based encryption, which does all the processing directly on the drive, Windows 11 Pro force-enables the software version of BitLocker during installation

IIRC thought the whole reason for this was because the Hardware-based encryption turned out to be so terrible on just about every drive that Microsoft just decided to not even bother using it.
I'm the guy you're arguing with upthread, but I agree with this one. I've never seen an ad on Netflix. But Hulu, Prime, and (I think) Paramount+ all show ads to their paid subscribers. Although Paramount and Prime mostly limit their ads to promotions for their own shows, whereas Hulu sells slots to outside advertisers. (And this is ignoring the $100+ monthly cost of traditional cable packages that show at least a minute of ads for every two minutes of content, on every channel).

And ok, maybe those streaming services offer ad-free plans, but that's moving the goal posts from the original impetus of subscribing to the first (and initially only) tier of a non-free plan (e.g. YouTube Premium in this analogy) explicitly to opt out of ads. And in fact its further evidence that future YouTube will likely offer a paid tier that includes ads, which would negate the primary argument for using any paid tier from them now (if you give a mouse a cookie...)
In public? Sure, but only because I was being an asshole, lying, or both.
Yeah this is easily the worst change I have seen on Twitter since the takeover. I have completely stopped using the site because of it. I need to use Nitter or Google Previews when looking up an account and even then it's bad. It pretty much has forced me to just never rely on twitter for any at the moment information and use other sources.

Google Search? You might think it's getting worse but nobody is accessing the internet with raw URLs any more. Everyone uses search.

You can also say what you want about FB/Instragram doing many bad things but you can still be "friends" with people you know and stay up-to-date with them in a pub/sub style (which didn't really exist outside of christmas cards before social media was thing).

Google/Apple Maps are a great resource still.

Apple produced and still produces smartphones which have massively changed society. Those aren't going anywhere

Smartphones enabled app-based services for banks and other institutions and such with a ubiquity that did not exist in the desktop and dialup era.

Like it's so easy to look at how the world has changed in the last 15 years that I have trouble taking your claims that nothing lasts seriously.
That long term value you mentioned has little to do with Facebook itself though. In my teens I met friends through IRC and AOL, people across the world and passively kept in touch with them through the eras of IRC, Skype and now Discord.

But what you don't see (or perhaps didn't pay attention to) is the way that Facebook monopolizes that value. They gained that control through ruthless manipulation, advertisement, buying of competitors and more. Then once you have buy-in, you're stuck with the enshittification they force on you because all of the alternatives have died.

For Bandcamp, they existed in the bought competitors space. And we're seeing the cycle I mentioned above occur faster and faster. The goal of companies like Facebook, Epic, Uber etc isn't to actually make a good thing. It's to dominate a market. The value is incidental, occasionally coming with the aquisitions.
i won't say anything about the libraries, but what a horribly unreadable web page.
I guess mileage varies but I'm using Windows 11 Pro and running `manage-bde -status` tells me none of my drives are encrypted. And I don't remember being offered to when installing it.
Discussion of psychadelics often concern themselves with recurring or treatment-resistant depression, so the transcendental analysis is very relevant.

> It is not whataboutism.

When someone points out Republican's cronyism leads to bad outcomes in healthcare, and you respond with an opinion piece whose thesis is roughly "Blue states have bad policies that lead to unaffordable housing" … like that's basically textbook whataboutism:

> the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.

Literally "what about housing" is raising a different issue here, one that's not related to healthcare, nor the Republican anti-pattern being discussed in this subthread…

You're further implying that Democrats are hunky-dory with the housing policy in states like CA, when they're not. Some are, some aren't, and AFAICT it wasn't exactly a partisan thing. As I alluded to, a lot of the YIMBY-iers there advocated for things like better mass transit — which isn't exactly a very Republican position.

> You know how NIMBYism is done in California?

> It is usually along the lines of "We can't let developers profit!!" and "They are going to build luxury homes!!".

I'm a former resident of Silicon Valley. I'm well aware how it's done. That doesn't make this not whataboutism, and it doesn't mean that there aren't democrats in those states who are fiercely against that line of argument.

Like I said, a lot of health care policy wonks in 2010 were definitely expecting the exchanges to be where the action was, and were talking about future changes that would allow employer subsidies onto the exchange or for higher wages in exchange for breaking the link totally (health care wonks have long hated the link between employment and health insurance- it's a weird legacy of WW2 that doesn't make sense). This is why Congress and their legislative staffers are the only people who do have employer subsidies on the exchange- the GOP offered a poison pill to force Congress to only be offered insurance through the DC exchange, but the Dems gladly accepted the pill because they thought it would mark the way to the future. This did require a lot of extra rule-making and pipe-fitting such that the (quite poorly paid) staffers didn't get screwed too badly on the deal, which took an extra year, but since 2015 Congress has only been offered health insurance through the DC Exchange, the same as anyone else who lives in DC. Because the GOP thought it would embarrass the Dem's and the Dems thought it would instead mark the way that everyone would go.
Please explain how exactly is running Bandcamp becoming more expensive in the long term? It's literally just a basic band website template with the cheapest read-heavy cloud storage. Ok, there's payment processing too. But that's about it.
I'm glad I missed that r/ruby thread. I wouldn't have been very nice. I honestly can't tell if it's a troll or not. I love all of those features of Ruby, and use them daily.
Ah, I couldn't figure out why it sounded vaguely familiar until I saw the "Works of Kim Stanley Robinson" section at the bottom of the page:

> The Mondragon Corporation already appeared in Robinson's earlier Mars trilogy, as one of the Terran groups involved in the colonization and terraforming of Mars; the coop is also portrayed as the inspiration of both the bogdanovist movement [52] and the libertarian-leaning Praxis Corporation[53] two of the main forces leading the revolution for the independence of Mars.

Red Mars was one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read, but Green Mars starts pretty slow so I didn't get very far into it. I think I'll start the trilogy over.
> Of course they have a choice. They're not slaves.

Yes, they have a choice to be homeless and/or die of starvation. What a choice.

> You can't collect wealth that is not created.

By that logic, slavery is also a great system because it also creates value.
It's absurd that this web site is advocating for people to disable bitlocker.

Also there is no source for the 45% figure.
Congrats for the 2.0 release!

I always found Geany a real gem among the regular crop of IDEs. (and I did spend quite some time exploring the synaptic app store back in the day)

The level of focus and simplicity is hardly seen among its peers.
> Not only do some papers not support the claim at all (I found this to often be the case when I used to read the news regularly), but there is often a critical detail left out of the abstract that is key to how the study should be interpreted. The vast majority of people citing papers, by my measure, are relying solely on the abstract even when the entire paper is available for free.

This happens in the HN comments all the time. People just assume the other person isn't actually going to stop read it.
Excited to see what positive changes are forthcoming for startup entrepreneurs!
Identity and auth provider consumers are a mix of lazy, under resourced, and unsophisticated. Lots of inertia and checkbox completion vs due diligence. It's also a pain to move, having had to help an enterprise move from Lastpass to 1password. Even worse trying to swap out idps. Operating your own idp internally requires sophistication and resources (engineering talent, org will, etc).

I am sympathetic to the idea of not reinforcing bad behavior at a vendor, but also mindful that sometimes you're going to risk accept and move on (and revisit when the contract is up for renewal). Time and resources are finite.

EDIT: With all the above said, Okta would not be my first idp choice, considering all available information.

It's actually not, words have meaning. Communism involves a class-less society, by definition a CEO can not be part of a class-less society; and public (read: State) ownership of industry, which private companies are obviously not. There are also plenty of examples class-heavy societies where the central authority effectively controls the means of production. Nazi Germany, Jacobean England and wartime America (Civil War or WW2) all had state command economies where the central authority controlled both the means of production (either de jure in the former case or de facto in the latter cases) and the monopoly on violence. Authoritarianism has similar traits across ideologies, but Communism is a different thing than Monarchy, Fascism or the many other ideologies that fit your definition.
HN? This is a site that is easy to hate on, but there is a fabulous amount of niche knowledge and storytelling buried herein.
This. Sysadmins have air compressors for agood reason. A surprising proportion of the job is janitorial. Remember the famous bug that caused an error? Dust and cat hair are a much bigger problem than insects. Airflow obstructions are the number one killer of PCs and servers.

Eh. I’d say it’s better than Python’s. I’m not familiar enough with Java or .NET to talk about them.
Not if the cap is tied to total employee. A shell company with 100 registered employees can't sponsor more than 10 people for example.

They can't get around this as there are tax records of who being paid by whom. This would force company to hire American, reduce fraud, and still being favorable to the big boys paying the lobbying fees. Win win for all who matters (not specifically the regular folks, if they do, it is accidental...)
Also C: migrate or be left behind. With Windows you know the x64 version will be there "forever", so waiting to see how it turns out is a valid strategy; except it kills any momentum for the platform.
> Do you know what the difference is between reality and a conspiracy theory is?

Evidence is the difference.

> if you had told any random person on the street that the Tech and Security Industrial complex were secretly funding activists groups to try and be able to spy on all European data you would've been considered to be daft and people would look at you like your crazy

This reasoning is hindsight. People come up with lots of conspiracy theories, 99% of which are false. The difference is evidence.
The words you're saying aren't materialist so much as they are logical positivist. As it turns out, there are things that are both true but not provable (be it empirically or analytically).

Anyways, I’m here for discussion and appreciate a lot of the insightful and difficult comments other posters make and use it to learn and challenge myself. Sorry if triggers you, anyways I did post the links and I’m sorry you don’t like conflict.

Let’s just agree to disagree, it’s okay.
Right and the net load chart shows that, but the spike is only for a short time then goes back down even as net load is elevated. This is what I don’t understand. In comparison the California price remains elevated throughout the spike in net load.
No objection. There are pathological cases of religiosity.
Co-ops are a very flexible and successful business structure. For example, people in the northeastern US probably know of Cabot Cheddar. This is part of the Agri-Mark co-op, which does something like $1 billion in annual business and employs about 1,000 people.

Agri-Mark is a "producer co-op," which means that it's owned by dairy farms. There are also very successful "consumer co-ops," as well as "worker co-ops."

There are many nice things about co-ops:

- They can be economically competitive.

- They're democratically run. (Larger ones often elect a board and/or appoint management.)

- They're strictly voluntary associations.

There are also reasons why you don't see more co-operatives:

- They don't have huge incentives to scale. There are plenty of amazing grocery co-ops, for example, that have one or two excellent stores but no desire to expand.

- They raise capital through their members. Details vary, but they tend to scale more like bootstrapped businesses than startups.

But a musicians' producer co-op could absolutely build something like Bandcamp. It would be a lot of work, and it would require some genuine organizational talent.

A lot of the big open source foundations (the Linux Foundation, the Apache Foundation, etc) are essentially producer co-ops for open source software, even if that's not what the paperwork says.

I think we should absolutely build more co-ops, for things that really matter.
These unique personally identifying bits of information are not private keys.

Private keys on the other hand can remain secret even when someone is confirming their validity. To oversimplify a little, the way it works is that the private key is input into a one-way algorithm that generates an output they check against their saved values. If the output matches twice then they know you have the same key as the one you used in the past. They cannot used the output of a one-way algorithm to discover what the input was that generated said output.
In general, there is usually a power imbalance which prevents most prospective employees from negotiating effectively for their compensation. You don’t feel that power imbalance. Good for you! But, you don’t seem to recognize that anyone else’s lived experience might be different than your own.
Bracketed paste mode!!!1!

Seriously, it’s the only safe way to paste into a terminal. When you initiate a paste your terminal emulator sends a control sequence that tells the program that a paste is happening so that it won’t interpret any of it as anything but text to be inserted. It’s completely automatic. And your terminal emulator supports it! So does vim!

It’s only be available in xterm for 21 or so years, so I guess it’s not _that_ surprising to find that people still don’t know about it.
The decision to designate FBK as extremist organization was illegal. The due process was not followed, prosecutors failed to present any evidence etc. The law on extremism which was used in this case is itself probably unconstitutional regardless of the decisions of Constitutional Court which lost its independence and its mind long ago. By extension any charges against lawyers because of their support of Navalny and FBK should be considered unlawful. They did not break the law by supporting this organization regardless of the opinion of Russian legal system.
I find that not to be the case in practice.

The weakest paragraph I could find is this:

> In December 2019, the World Bank was made aware of a three-year randomized control trial by the Center for Global Development that compared schools in the Liberian “LEAP” program — which prominently included Bridge schools — with other government schools. It found that nearly 4 percent of LEAP students surveyed in 2019 reported “sexual intercourse with a teacher” and 7.5 percent had “some form of sexual contact with a teacher.” The Bank “expressed concerns …

It does not indicate how government schools fared in comparison, and it is also possible that non Bridge LEAP schools were disproportionately high in abuse percentage. It is also possible that one or two schools had all the cases. Percentages are given without total number of students.

Overall, however, it damning for the members of most organizations mentioned, including non-abusive staff at schools. I mean, teachers “confronted her abuser” but after he vanished they just… continued as if nothing happened? Great job.
