Ive met a few bipoc Ivy docs over the last few years.

Some of them basically felt burned by the education system that accepted them into undergrad where they performed at bottom of class as they were let in with lowest standards. Then this process repeated as they felt burned by med school again as they were let in with lowest scores. Some of them would assume, these schools let me in hoping i would fail out so their diversity numbers look good, instead i graduated at bottom of my class and jad a terrible experience.

The psychological effect of being at the bottom of your class at an Ivy, vs top of your class at a public state university, is an interesting way to start your career in any field.
Yes I'm assuming not every Lebanese is a terrorist, which seems to be problematic to some. In particular 8-year-old children are probably not.
I don't believe those children who died care about definitions. In fact they don't care much about anything anymore since they are dead.
I'm sorry to hear that. Like you correctly mention, genetics play a big role and are unfortunately (currently?) not modifiable, and there is plenty of evidence that a restored tooth is at higher risk of further issues/loss, so prevention is the best thing you can do.

Good job with your daughter! FYI, we are working on expanding the instructions to children, so watch this space ;)
Correction after more information has become available:

The Gold Apollo AR-924 model pager is reported to have been manufactured under license by Budapest-based company "BAC Consulting KFT", but the head of this company denies manufacturing the devices and instead described themselves as an intermediary, without providing further information. The Taiwanese company which allowed these devices to be manufactured under license also reported receiving strange remittances from BAC via banking systems in the Middle East (not Hungary).[1]

Because wireguard is UDP and only responds to valid requests, there isn't any open port from the outside. Not even ssh.

As someone who's studied addiction pretty closely, withdrawing further of what support an addict has is, IMO, far likelier to push them further into addiction and increase the odds of an overdose. The notion that addicts need to "hit rock bottom" as it were is harmful and counter-productive. Many addictions are a result of some combo of social isolation, use of the drug to self-medicate for mental/physical issues, or good old depression.

Sure, some people hit rock bottom and get clean. Others just die. The second group is larger.

What most addicts need is some sense of stability in their lives, social/community support, and safe places to use along with clean drugs and paraphernalia to taper themselves off with. However despite being demonstrably the reliable way to get people out of the addiction hole, it offends the sensibilities of the mainstream and is therefore quite politically unpopular.

> I’m not opposed to the cloud. I run my current (non-HIPAA) project on Render, and it is really convenient. But, I also run a number of things on VPSs, and they aren’t difficult at all other than the up-front friction. They have been rock solid for us. I think it’s mostly a function of how simple we keep our setup. The cloud is certainly more convenient when managing a big team with lots of dynamic allocations of resources. But, VPSs (which some consider to be then cloud), and physical servers get more shade than I think they deserve.

I need to remember most people aren't as bad as I am on the infra side of things.

> You can go really far as a business on a single physical server and with a second backup server. With a bit of care, deployments can be simple and reliable, too.

You're right. A lot of what pushed me towards the cloud was that I wasn't building a single app. It was a collection of small, line of business type of stuff + an in progress EMR + a ton of Office 365 integration so it always made sense to go straight for Azure. As well as just not having the experience it sounds like you do.
Yeah, that thought struck me too, looking at the entire graph there can never be an absolute decrease. But then, which timescale is the salient one?

> If Gold Apollo wants to keep selling pagers, better they start making all the carcasses on their products transparent from now on. With a big photo in the boxes showing how the correct product must look.

I don't think that would make a difference at all, explosives could be disguised in any electronic components, being transparent wouldn't help very much. The Taiwanese company's brand is now irreparably tarnished, I think that is the cost of lending the brand name to an untrustworthy partner.
I don't care how it works. When the goal is the problem, the method is irrelevant. WEI is a problem because it takes away user's freedom to interact with sites using the software they want. It doesn't matter at all how it accomplishes that goal.

You and your coworkers are 'drunk', so whatever you say has an excuse now.

Because of the stiff upper lip, so to speak, culture of the normal workdays, you can't complain about workload, or that Steve is an ass, or that the project is pointless, etc. But with a 'drunk' cover, you can, and that information can get to the bosses and they can adjust things. That's why those meeting times are needed and all the folks need to be there with that excuse literally in hand.

I hardly use it at all. ChatGPT was interesting at first but it slowly got worse and worse as changes had to be made to it so OpenAI wouldn't get sued. The same is true for all the other ones.

> Pretty easy though, when Israel is clearly being held to a standard that their combatants aren't.

If you look at it binary then both sides committed atrocities, war crimes, and generally acts of terror. If you look at the magnitude though one stands out.

> the Islamic side has a part to play in what is happening

Attempts to defend either are weak, nether is defensible really. But defending the side that took it orders of magnitude further with explanations like well the other side "had a part" are absolutely gross and reminiscent of explanations for certain atrocities a certain European country committed 80 years ago because "they" knew what they did to deserve it right? "They" also had a part to play.
Not all organizations work as the US military. Or even as a US company.

I know nothing about Hezbollah, but there's a widespread opinion on HN that any equipment you get from "work" can absolutely only be used by yourself in said work environment. That's really not the case in all cultures, everywhere.

At my previous job, management clearly told us that we could use computers & printers for any personal activity, including paid side jobs, as long as we didn't compete with the company and didn't go completely overboard with the printers (personal judgement).

Not every organization is hostile to its employees/members.

I'm guessing Hezbollah is not comparable to the US military in many respects, and assumptions that hold true for the US military may not hold true for any other military or paramilitary group.

That said, I don't have particularly strong opinions about this attack, and I certainly do not support Hezbollah in any way. But this "it works like this here, therefore it works like this everywhere" mentality is a hindrance to understanding the situation - any situation.
Why no (se)L4 microkernel/hypervisor based browser?
For example, Microsoft's Gazelle and Illinois Browser OS build their browsers based on a secure kernel, so why no (se)L4 microkernel/hypervisor based browser? I haven't even seen the idea. Besides, there is only old information about secure kernel/OS-based browsers in the first place, and nothing current and up-to-date. Perhaps it has failed?

I could deal with the hype cycles better if the industry had more solid foundations on the basic stuff like CRUD apps and websites. We're still pretty lousy at it.

It feels like a sinking ship but we all know it's not going anywhere because humanity now depends too much upon getting messages anywhere in the world on the order of seconds.

Maybe having a bunch of hype cycles is normal and we're meant to dig through the bullshit for gold. Kind of resembles prompting AI over and over until you get a good response. It would be nice if the industry admitted that instead of trying to pretend every hype cycle is a guaranteed existence-changer. It changes your mindset and mental fortitude if you know you're going to be dealing with bullshit instead of being lied to and finding it out once you've accepted the job.

Also, don't forget a trend that was apparently so bullshit that people don't even mention it next to blockchain: VR/AR.

Hezbollah are also terrorists. You might think it is ok to fight terror with terror, all I am trying to point out is that this is indeed a response in kind.
> While many people offered theories about why the drop in deaths is happening at unprecedented speed, most experts agreed that the data doesn't yet provide clear answers

This is kind of a failure of state capacity in itself. The opioid crisis happened "out of view", and remains out of view even as the situation improves. Without more and better data it's difficult to improve.

It also doesn't help that the opioid epidemic has overlapped with COVID, stretching CDC capacity.

Apartheid Israel really are terrorists. This was representative of that, killing 2 children in the process. There could be 186,000 deaths since October in their current Genocide of the Palestinians. No wonder Hamas and Hezbollah exist, the same way uMkhonto we Sizwe existed in Apartheid South Africa. They need to be sanctioned and their leaders put in a court of the ICC.
OT but the "best" part of it is that the text-continuation foundations inherently encourage this exact behavior. People don't write "I don't know" very often, much less "wait a minute, I think I dreamed that, but it's too bad that doesn't exist".
I can't believe iPhone chips, almost the supreme luxury good, are considered worthy of Federal subsidies.

If you're giving your personal communication devices away, given that it's used to summon you personally...

... honestly?

I have no words, that's fucking stupid.

It's not like it's a toy, or it can play games, or that it can be used reach out to a parent/guardian if a child is lost.

It's a pager, a receive only communication tool. An outmoded one by far, and given to you by your terrorist organisation to intentionally evade Israeli detection.

If you're giving it to your children, not only are you basically being negligent in your duties, you're also giving away something that has less utility than the device you used to use and likely have on standby.

USPS will take your photo (for a nominal cost), and if there are any problems with it, they will fix at no additional cost (for future reference). Luckily, a passport lasts 10 years once you're over 16, which gives a lot of time for process improvement between renewal cycles.

Very sorry you had a challenge with this process, it should get better based on what I know of internal development.

From my experience auditing companies seem too erratic too in their findings.

At an old job we had one Auditing firm (Deloitte or KPMG??) auditor who found a lot of issues. The auditor found a single cash register receipt among a year's worth of receipts, a pile, with the login name the supervisor not the employee. The supervisor forgot to log off and an employee used the cash register for one or two sales.

A new auditing firm the next year found no issues which I knew was bull since the place changed over staff a dozen times and new management was far more incompetent.

This is 100% correct but because society is increasingly apathetic about everything we're only interested in the low lift solutions.

You don't fix a drug epidemic by going after the symptoms: narcan and other drugs that are a bandaid only at the very last stage.

You go for the root: we've created a society where people are overprescribed pain killers, and where the general outlook is so bleak that escapism is more popular than ever. It's the same reasons people don't have children and mental health is all record lows.

There are some reports of people hired to write low quality spam articles that fit this. There isn't much else.

There exist lots of people that claim some small gains, mostly because they use shitty tools that can't do what some tools could do 15 years ago (often the same tools). I'm afraid that's not enough to keep our current LLMs alive.

If you lost half your gut or a kidney or had your stomach punctured you may be alive, but you’re definitely not battle ready. And you may never be again.

You didn't kill them, but they can't hurt you in the future if let's say you decide to mount a full scale invasion on Lebanon.

Yeah, true. It's either terrorism or borderline-terrorism at least. But people still gotta talk if they're not willing to wage another war against each other. We clearly have too many wars going around, so politicians will have to forge up some bullshit excuses.

Regular dental check-ups likely would have caught the tooth rot before it led to opioid addiction. Hopefully in time that a simple filling would suffice, but even a non-urgent extraction or root canal is better than months/years of chronic pain.

From what I can tell, chronic pain eventually morphs into "background noise" in a person's life. It's there, but similar to depression or anxiety, it just becomes a new normal and people develop strategies to deal with it. Often that's drug abuse.
I've used opioids twice in my life. First time was when I had ACL surgery. The pain actually wasn't that bad, but a few Oxy's help me sleep the first couple nights post-op until the swelling went down.

The second time is when I had a bulging disc pressing on a nerve. My leg felt like it was on fire 24/7. It was at this point I understood how people could get addicted. Luckily I only need the opioids for a few days until the anti-inflammatories did their thing.

There are some types of pain that are only dulled with opioids. With that said, the US overprescribed for many years. In both my cases I was given way too many Oxys that I eventually threw away.
AI's Missing Middle
There's a fraction of Big 4/MBB associates who dream of becoming partners and this is the hazing ritual the culture has established to select who will get to stop 3-4-5 / 80 hr work weeks and pivot into something a little less insane with more money. The problem is: there aren't that many positions for project leaders through director compared to the number of associates. They'd probably be better off winning the lottery or going to work for one of their clients so they can have a life now rather than the nebulous promise of one at some point in the future.
