historically medical community don't have enough data about how post-infection recovery has been in large populations w.r.t heart rates

I'd agree here. Most doctors have not really caught up to the giant data science revolution we have going on. A couple years ago I bought one of these [1] while trying to diagnose some general health/fatigue issues and after a year of data logging and life experiences it was pretty cool to watch how my HR/O2 numbers changed in response to various events - long bike rides, strength training, getting a cold, being on antibiotics, etc. The nice thing about this device was 1) it's much more accurate than smart watches and 2) provides raw time-series data vs some abstract fancy marketing UI.

At this point I now do comprehensive bloodwork panels at least quarterly and while I don't use the O2 device anymore I still have the baseline data saved. I'd recommend to anyone to start recording this type of data while you subjectively "feel good". It'll make it much easier to diagnose + press doctors on health issues if you can point to data associated with a time you felt well.

Given how well known Apple's dependence on cheap and/or child Chinese labor is, I was surprised Jon Stewart was willing to sign a deal with them in the first place.

Sure, Apple TV is a big platform with a wide reach, which is attractive to anyone in entertainment, but did he really expect them to allow him to broach subjects in ways that would threaten their bottom line?
Yes, the re-writes are done on a ubiquiti edge router. The re-write rules count the number of hits, as well as basic connection details like src port/addess, dst port/address, protocol. The biggest offender is the roku, which tries to use 8.8.8.8

edit: to be honest though, I don't look at the logs often to see what else gets caught, or why
> In terms of life ruining decisions, spending close to $100K on a truck and mods is far from the worst.

Not the worst? Perhaps technically. That loan payment is going to be an absurd burden on that young adult for a period of time they can barely relate to. Especially if they lose their job for any appreciable amount of time, or encounter other sudden costs (such as rent being jacked up).

Remaining employed full time for 7 years at the age of 19 with a wage good enough to make $1500 vehicle payments is... well, I would have failed that test.
you're not wrong about the articles, but at the same time just looking at a domain is enough to allow for decent guesses to be made.

lots of hits on hackernews and jsoneditoronline.org and I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that you're in IT or Dev. gonna start sending you ads that reflect that.

likewise, hits to missile-gayboy.jp -- a site that used to be hosted by my old employers -- also sends some pretty clear messages. I don't need to know what you're looking at specifically there but it's a japanese site that caters to a specific niche; I can sure make some assumptions.

hell, at work we don't even collect a lot of specifics on our endpoints -- domain queries are often enough to catch bad behavior
> and not be forced to pay the US car tax

> Having experienced the public transit systems in Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore

The Seoul Metro, widely considered to be one of the best in the world, also lost like a billion dollars a year for the past decade or so, with the shortfall made up for by taxes. The story is similar for many transit systems around the world as well as around the US.

Now, you could argue that it's worth it, but let's at least make sure we know that there is also a public transit tax, as well.

Cars have actually only gotten cheaper, it's just that the marketing has convinced people they need things they truly don't.

Take for instance the Nissan Versa: https://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/cars/versa-sedan.html. This car starts at $17k new, and is an objectively better vehicle in every single possible way than anything you could have bought 20 years ago short of high end luxury. Cars are one of the few consumer goods that have only gotten cheaper and better over time (particularly when inflation is taken into account). But marketers doing what they do, everyone is now convinced they need a $40,000 luxury vehicle to buy groceries and drive to work. It is entirely a cultural issue combined with predatory lending, not a lack of cheap cars to buy.

How exactly will startups will have “no real chance to compete”? What is the mechanism that will stop them?

Unless prevented by governmental regulation or similar (like patents) startups move faster and are more innovative and creative. They are not the cheapest but competing on price is not a good idea for a startup anyway, and the monopoly cannot be the cheapest possible since that would diminish profits - then what would be the advantage to be a monopoly?

A monopolised market is ripe for disruption and VC are dying to fund startups who can claim a chunk of that market. Any startup bought out by a Goliath will fund another 10 in its stead.

I know zero cases of unbeatable monopolies in a free market. All monopolies had government support. Do you have any examples?
Not sure if Lego is appropriate for a 1.5 year old (I would guess not), but growing up I didn't have many toys but one thing I played with the most, was a pathetic looking lego set.

I'm not talking the fancy stuff you get nowadays with wheels/pullels or where you can build the Millennium Falcon (I was so envious), but about 50 4x2 different coloured bricks and maybe 5 6x1 long ones.

But man, the amount of creativity that sparked in my younger cell was amazing. The amount of crudely built spaceships I built kept me entertained for hours.

Constraints breeds creativity. A lesson I still try and apply to by daily life/work.
It is not really that uncommon or unexpected of a point of confusion, there’s no need to be rude about it.

It was a very famous cellphone company for a while, and now cellphones are being sold under their brand. The point of the selling cellphones under that brand is to associate them with that company.

Ask HN: Looking for DB schema management tool
I'm looking for a tool to solve help with DB schema wrangling. I've got a big mongo cluster, several postgres databases, kafka (with schema registry), and a little bit of redis.

I'd like to have something that I can record all the schemas in and then cross reference them, so I can ask things like, "which collections contain links to bigmongo.user.id?" or "if I delete one record from table X, what are all the other records I'm going to have to delete?"

Have you heard of such a beast, or am I going to somehow have to roll my own with neo4j, datatomic, or prolog?
The probes are handcrafted from the unobtanium by the very expensive engineers, and designed individually due to this.

We need a heavy lift platform flying for a few years before we could start making much more crude larger probes, with cheaper or even massmarket components. Then it may work.
Dr. Soltis?
I said "kinda" because I didn't want to get into the whole trinity stuff, since it's besides the point to me. But I agree that many Christians, and Muslims, and Jews (and other monotheists) are great people, my last paragraph was a bit harsh. I know many of those people would be happy for everyone to go to heaven, or paradise, or at least find peace in death, whatever it may be, they pray for them, and not just to get brownie points but out of genuine compassion. I know that.

But in my opinion, it's because they're better than the religion. That is their humanity, such humanity is not found in the source materials. I can only speak for myself: in my early 20s, I was confused and deeply in pain about the state of the world, and through a series of coincidences (or signs from God :P) I ended up kinda, vaguely, believing in it. I wanted to believe in it. But I could not get over my empathy for everyone: if everybody isn't saved, nobody is saved. Not to mention that "saving" someone from the wrath you inflict on someone for not believing you saved them is equal parts crazy and abusive. Jesus can mock the wise and laud the wide-eyed children all he wants, but even in the deepest depths of my desperation I could not accept it. I read the stuff, I think about it, and I'm out.

My beef isn't with God, if it exists. But I do have beef with religion, yes. Disappointed with the Bible, I turned to the Quran, found the exact same content with even more bragging. And something about "Jesus can save you (if you let him)" did kinda trigger me, since the Bible says, nobody can come to God lest they get pulled. So don't blame people for not getting pulled, that's victim blaming.
I love a good hatch back. My first was a 1991 civic wagovan. My second was a 2000 Golf TDI. My third and current is an Outback.

If anyone knows of a left hand drive, all wheel drive diesel hatchback, let me know. That's my unicorn car. I'm not even sure something like that exists.
Oops yeah forgot to mention it's through NowTV. It might have improved since you last used it. Previously you had to find what you wanted to watch on their website and then it would open and play in a desktop app. Recently they deprecated that and you can play directly in the browser - maybe that'll solve the linux issue.

Paying extra for HD/surround sound is annoying but tbh it has no impact on me watching sport. Unless I'm watching hockey, I can see everything just fine in 720p.
Jon Stewart is just trying to distract us from the fact that the show was a flop and didn't generate enough ratings to justify its existence.

Pretending he walked away because of his ethics, not because few people were watching and his show was not a commercial success.

Yes - I remember doing HTTP-based validation for major vendors, though WHOIS was often easier and faster.
The cup is symmetrical and so is the donut shading, so the trick is to flip it on its head: instead of cutting the cup with the donut, cut the donut with the cup by ensuring either the top or bottom half of the donut overlays the cup. With that line of thinking I get a perfect split every time.

No insights to share on the other ones, though.
LED's are a good comparison point. They once were hyper expensive. The thought that we'd have billboards bedazzled with them would have seemed impossible.

What about Tk?
This one is quite bad though, and generally articles with clickbait titles aren't worth reading imo, since there's likely less sensationalized article on the topic somewhere else.
Direct taxes paid to the federal government are subject to apportionment in the US constitution. Therefore, for an income tax to be paid, it would have to be apportioned, meaning that states would have to pay a total amount equivalent to their proportion of the population.

If NY has 10% of the total population, 10% of income taxes would need to be paid from NY. Similarly if TX only has 2% of the population, the tax would need 2% of its funding from TX.

If everyone paid the same amount, this would be easy. But if you wanted to only tax millionaires, for example, that means that the millionaires in NY would be responsible for 10% of the total tax paid while those in TX would be responsible for 2%.

Now consider that there are 1000 millionaires in NY but only 2 in TX. Each NY millionaire would be required to pay (.1)(1/1000)=.0001 of the total tax bill while each millionaire in TX would be required to pay (.02)(1/2)=.01. Obviously those in TX would never agree to such a tax.

The goal with this is debated, but I believe it was done specifically to make passing direct taxes near impossible. Indirect taxes, such as excise taxes, are preferable since people only pay them if they want to. They can always elect to not purchase a good or service to avoid the tax. Additionally, it allows a much more progressive system than income taxes, since you can impose severe luxury taxes based on consumption only.

The 16A came along and changed this by explicitly exempting income from the apportionment requirements. Likely this was one of the major catalysts in the destruction of the American experiment.
Is there an open license
or ToS that would disallow OpenAI access?
You have it backwards, when a human initiates the request, like clicking on a link, your browser (rightfully) will ignore robots.txt. Unattended requests like scrapers do respect robots.txt. This is a case where ChatGPT is acting more like a browser with a funny way of displaying the final result. Each request is initiated by a human so it would likely be reasonable to ignore it in this case.
> I left real estate because I was told by my boss I needed to upgrade my car to, at a minimum, 2yr-old Lexus NX or I'd be relegated to internal work rather than meeting with clients.

Yeah, I grant you that is the case in certain occupations. It's funny, because in other lines of work (like accountancy, for example), you're actually discouraged from meeting clients in a flashy car.
Got my second bout of COVID two weeks ago and my resting heart rate has been about 10BMP higher ever since (normal 55, now 65+). I only missed two days of workouts, but had much lower volume for over a week.

A quick google search shows this isn't that uncommon and it's one of those 'wait and see' situations. Frustrating and I wonder if there's a longterm consequence. Strangely, the first time I got COVID it had no impact on RHR. Second time I was hit much harder and couldn't leave bed for a full day, something that has never happened to me.
By "in software" you are meaning startup/FAANG, not software development in general where the average salary is still sub $100k, and depending on where you live as little as $50k for a starting salary.

As a 22 or 23 year old getting your first job at $50k, your living expenses will take most of your salary. After a few years you might be able to jump to a better paying mid-level developer.

So at 28, you could be making $75k throughout most of the central US. Your life style will likely have changed, and you now have a wife, potentially a kid, so living expenses still take up 70-80% of your take home. Hopefully you are able to put away $10k/yr into your personal retirement, and you've been getting your full company match that maxes at 2% (this is standard at most corporate developer jobs). So your 401k might have around $40k in it now, which is great. Your ROTH has another $15-20k probably.

At 30, you finally hit your big 3-0. Your 401k has been growing nicely, and you now have $75k in it, and your ROTH is sitting pretty at $25k, only 15 years left until retirement! You have hit $100k by 30!

Wait, you were talking about £... Well, you still have a ways to go, you only have £80k.

> Pushing these companies to return money to their shareholders instead of keeping it in huge war chests used for buying up any potential competitors would be a good first step.

Companies already do that with dividend payouts or share buyouts. Also, the shareholders control these companies. If they wanted the profits returned to then, they would vote for it.

> Maybe something along the lines of "any company whose average market cap over the course of a fiscal year exceeds 1% of GDP is automatically broken up".

I prefer over 33% market share. I think every market/industry should have at least 3 players. Any company that goes over 33% market share for X period of time gets broken apart.

> Companies that don't want to be split into pieces would need to find ways to reduce their market cap, one of the quickest being sending dividends to shareholders

Not necessarily. There are companies that don't have a profit or cash on hand with huge market caps. Amazon notoriously made no profit for decades. I think enterprise value is what you are looking for.

An attacker would first have to find my system, specifically, and then breach it. In terms of the most common method of breaching systems, social engineering, it is me, a single software engineer with a very solid background as a sysadmin, compared to a staff of many hundreds or thousands of employees at a large, visible company.

So simply in terms of attack surface, exposure and discoverability, doing that is a REALLY tall order. Many animals on this world survive not because they are huge and strong, but because they are tiny, fast and next to invisible.

Economics play a huge role in attacking systems. Targeted attacks are time consuming, costly, and if the end result is one guys passwords, usually not worth it. People carrying out such attacks want to use a dragnet, not a fishing rope.

> If you use open-source and a critical bug is found

...then many many many large organisations have the same problems as I do, only while being a lot more exposed and visible than me. Because the software I use relies on the same standardized, battle tested, vetted and re-vetted for years technologies as many commercial products.
Agreed that types are better, but good test suites contain plenty of reminders of corner cases that you probably forgot to consider during your refactor.

Curious to hear someone with more expertise than me opine on the validity of brute forcing standardized parameters, which doesn't seem to be discussed in article.

Are standardized elliptical curves still susceptible to being "individually" broken in ECDH in practice? Or are there other subsequent randomized mechanisms to accomplish forward secrecy / per session resistance?

I understand the article's point against diversity, but there seems a gap of the "G20 nation states have orders of magnitude more resources than everyone else" variety. Even if something is ridiculously computationally intensive for everyone, it can be feasible given Manhattan Project level resources, if the payoff is worth it.
All of this security policy relies on memory safety. You build policies on the idea that you can trust some broker to manage and enforce it. Memory safety vulnerabilities subvert all of that, that's why they're so serious.

Consider an SSH server. The most likely attack against it isn't a memory safety vuln, it's stealing someone's key. But if there were a memory safety vuln keys wouldn't even be a part of the conversation - that memory safety vuln would allow the attacker to bypass policy altogether.
> I don't fully understand why

I think it has to do with the VC faucet, a completely irrational capital allocation mechanism.
Right? This is what my parent's have done for the last 3 decades. It's worked for them, they haven't wasted 1 dollar on a slightly shinier metal box on wheels. That's my plan, too. Bought a 2015 Kia in 2020 for $10k, which was by far the most expensive car I've purchased, and aside from usual maintenance costs (gas, oil, tires, etc.), I haven't had one single issue.

EDIT: Prior to this car, I had a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am. That was the best car I ever had. Bought it for $2,000 and drove it everyday for 5 years until the engine gave up the ghost. Highly recommended.
Definitely. Not many deals to be had anymore. A lot of this is due to short supply (supply chain issues with chips, strikes, etc.), but some of it is also due to cars being so much more reliable now (and therefor more valuable even when used).
Assassination as a Service?
In Spain, there's usually no "density gradient" between the core of a city and its suburbs.

The core of the city is dense, the suburbs are equally dense, and the conurbation's edge is a street which has a five-story building on one side and farmland on the other. Outside the conurbation, it's primarily farmlands and forests, with even small towns following a similar pattern.

That is, the density of a given area is either somewhere in the thousands of people per square kilometer, or in single digits.

(Some cities do break this pattern to some extent, but it's mostly isolated phenomena, such as the suburbs of Madrid around the A-6, or the continuum of housing along the Costa del Sol)
I think the best way to convert pdfs to tabular data is using pdfplumber together with a pandas (dataframes) workflow and writing results to CSV.
MIPS had load const to high or low half. More that 40 years ago Transputer had shift-and-load 8 bit constants. Lots of ancient precedents for rare big constants.
The obvious point of comparison is security consultants. A security consultant knows a lot less about your product than your engineers do, but that's precisely why they're helpful - they bring an outside, generalist perspective that isn't bogged down by all the arguments you've accreted over the years about why X component has to be structured in Y way and there's no need for a security boundary around Z.
This might quench your thirst in the meantime!
