I was intrigued and took a Quick Look at the top studies on this subject and the metrics used are things like relative overdose deaths in an area, crime statistics, and usage of treatment programs. They say that by virtue of a number of epidemiological metrics that safe consumption sites appear to be associated with harm reduction in terms of overdoses, while not increasing crime stats. I don’t see outsized claims of objective truth being made, more of the standard, “here’s how we got the numbers, here’s the numbers, they appear to point in this direction.”

I’m not doubting your claim but I’m wondering how that very weird paper you’re citing bubbles up to the top, when there’s some very middle of the road meta analyses that don’t make outsized claims like access to objective truth.

It's not a complete payment scheme by itself, as it's missing dispute resolution (a prerequirement for payments between strangers).

But who says that the same party has to offer payment rails and dispute protection? There are successful models of the two being decoupled in some markets (e.g. various providers offering fraud/chargeback insurance on top of SEPA Direct Debit in Europe).

Okay, I see where you stand.

How's that could be a legit thing? It's way way more unethical than working 2 full time jobs.

I agree, a naive approach to approximate caching would probably not work for most use cases.

I'm speculating here, but I wonder if you could use a two stage pipeline for cache retrieval (kinda like the distance search + reranker model technique used by lots of RAG pipelines). Maybe it would be possible to fine-tune a custom reranker model to only output True if 2 queries are semantically equivalent rather than just similar. So the hypothetical model would output True for "how to change the oil" vs. "how to replace the oil" but would output False in your Spain example. In this case you'd do distance based retrieval first using the normal vector DB techniques, and then use your custom reranker to validate that the potential cache hits are actual hits

The whole conversation here is about Americans not getting life-saving healthcare, and you haven't refuted my claim. If you need chemotherapy for cancer, for instance, you're not going to get that in an ER. If you need bone reconstruction, you're not going to get that in an ER either. These are things that are done by appointment after consultation with specialists. They're not immediate life-threatening emergencies (you're not going to die in an hour without chemo), so the hospital has no responsibility to provide these treatments to you without regard for payment. Their only obligation is to stabilize you so you can see a specialist later.

The only thing worse than a VISA monopoly is a government monopoly.
So there are two different things here that you are conflating: the specific pardoning of Michael Flynn and whether lying to a federal agent should be a crime.

Lying to a federal agent is a crime because the Government wants to make it easy to investigate crimes. Hence, lying to them being a crime. You are wasting the taxpayers money by mis-directing the investigators who represent us and are supposed to be investigating crime. That seems reasonable to me, though I did spend some time working as a contractor for the FBI, so I might have incorporated their views too much.

Michael Flynn's case in particular was a travesty because of the pardon power, a weird old legacy of monarchy brought over into our system by people who didn't really think it through, like a lot of weird, arcane corners of the US government. Pardons in general I think we would be better off without. Either it is used for small-bore corruption of the justice system like this, or it is used for things that really ought to be moved through the traditional justice system (pardoning all of the Vietnam draft dodgers, pardoning Nixon, etc.).

> Looking at digicert[1], if a revocation request is submitted, the owner must approve it. What happens if I just don't approve it?

So in this case, this is the happy-case where you as the owner wish to simply realize the cancellation a cert that you are no longer using.

A different workflow applies, such that you have the private key you instead send a POST to 'https://problemreport.digicert.com/api/keys/compromised' with the private key in the JSON body and it will be queued. It is mandatory Baseline Requirements wise to cancel the certificate within 24 hours in the compromised case - usually instant if the pk matches cert - with the expectation that of course the owner will not go this route.

Personally I use a single folder named "kb" (short for knowledgebase). This folder contains every single file I've considered worthy of saving. I keep backups and sync between all devices.

The secret is in the naming conventions. I've written about mine extensively here on HN [1], so I won't go into too much detail here, but for your receipt example I'd do `fin.receipt.[date].eye-doctor-visit.png`.

Family members files should be in those people's home folders. Mixing people on one account is just asking for trouble in my opinion. If they're an enumerable number of important documents, consider a central family folder which gets backed up frequently, with a subfolder for each person and one for shared family stuff.

Some will have to be built, but the attackers will also work on beating them. It's not like the malicious side of SEO, trying to sneak malware into ad networks, or bypassing a payment processor's attempts at catching fraudulent merchants. A traditional red queen game.

What makes this difficult is that the traditional constraints to the problem that provide advantage to the defender in some of those questions (like the payment processor) are unlikely to be there in generative AI, as it might not even be easy to know who is poisoning your data, and how they are doing it. By reading the entire internet, we are inviting in all the malicious content in, as being cautious also makes the model worse in other ways. It's going to be trouble.

Out only hope is that economically viable poisoning of the AI's outputs doesn't become economically viable. Incentives matter: See how ransomware flourished when it became easier to get paid. Or how much effort people will dedicate to convincing VCs that their basically fraudulent startup is going to be the wave of the future. So if there's hundreds of millions of dollars in profit from messing with AI results, expect a similar amount to be spent trying to defeat every single countermeasure you will imagine. It's how it always works.

Furthermore, apparently Automattic invested money into WP Engine in 2011? Since the principals of Automattic and the Wordpress Foundation are the same, why did they not call trademark violations then (or negotiate a royalty deal for the use of the marks)?

https://techcrunch.com/2011/11/15/silverton-automattic-put-1...

This whole thing is bizarre.
I see this kind of thing all the time with third-party WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, it seems like WP Engine managed to generate enough perceived consumer confusion (looking at the exhibits, frequently in the form of support requests from WP Engine customers posted to official WordPress channels), such that Automattic felt compelled to do something about it. That said, from what I can tell, there are dozens of similarly branded "WP [something]" plugins that engage in a lot of the same "brand-borrowing"--there's probably an actual term for this, but deliberately leaving one's association with WordPress ambiguous to leave open the interpretation that your plugin is more official than it is.

EDIT: changed consumer confusion from "obvious" to "perceived"--I have no idea whether these examples were obvious, and it would likely depend on your own perceptions.

> Is incompetence fraud? Or just incompetence?

Fraud requires intent; it's a word that describes what happened, but also the motivations of the people involved. Incompetence doesn't assume any intent at all; it's merely a description of the (lack of) ability of the people involved.

Incompetent people can certainly commit fraud (perhaps to try to cover up their incompetence), but that's by no means required.

> ...insist they just made honest mistakes

If they're lying about that, it's fraud; they're either covering up their unrealized incompetence with fraud, or trying to cover up their intended fraud with protestations of mere incompetence. If they really did make honest mistakes, then it's just garden-variety incompetence. (Or just... mistakes. To me, incompetence is when someone consistently makes mistakes often. One-time or few-time mistakes are just things that happen to people, no matter how good the are at what they do.)

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! Based on feedback from multiple people, it's clear there's a significant issue with the product pricing, which I'll seriously reflect upon! From your perspective, there seem to be two issues:

1. The price is too high.

2. Dislike for subscription-based payments.

I have no problem with the first point, but I'm curious why everyone dislikes the subscription model so much? Or at the end of the day, is it really because the price is too high?
I’ve bought 4 and sold 3 houses over the years, and TBH the whole brokerage model seems like a two sided market scam but I’m not sure who is winning or being scammed. I’ve used brokers and not, so I’ve seen both sides.

I have family that are brokers are frankly they aren’t very smart but they know how to hustle, so they do decently well. They offer a service and do that but the costs for what they do are really weird in the margins.

It seems like the most perfect example of a bullshit job but somehow it benefits both sides enough that it persists because home ownership is such a (reasonably but problematically) aggressively promoted thing.

Very confusing tbh.
Wait until you hear the news about eggs.
So the value prop is that you’ve built a service that does the same job as a lazy buyer’s agent?

If they can’t do basic things like that they are useless to me.

We're probably just talking past each other. The reason GNU comes off as religious is because they frame the whole issue in terms of human rights and moral imperatives (it is wrong to hide the source and we have the right to share). OSI prefers to frame it in terms of capabilities and transactional relationships (it's a win-win!).

The OSD is compatible with GNU licenses; I've read it before. That doesn't change the reality that by reframing the issue from rights to abilities, the OSI created the very environment where Winamp can be released as "open-source" while making forking illegal.

If you want a good look at OSI's commitment to the OSD, take a look at their Open Source AI initiative:
https://opensource.org/deepdive
https://opensource.org/deepdive/drafts/open-source-ai-defini...

They are directly complicit in propagating the lie of open-source AI. If you can't inspect how it was made, including the actual training the data, you don't have the ability to understand how the AI was made. The choice of the lumber is part of how a chair is made.

Without the "I have the right to know what my computer is doing", there is nothing backing point 2 of the OSD. Without "I have the right to share", there is nothing backing point 1.

Conceptually, I prefer an asynchronous standup, as it would allow everyone to participate without disrupting peak productivity. However, I’ve found that not everyone reliably engages with asynchronous updates, which limits its effectiveness. I think the one benefit of synchronous stand-ups is it forces individuals captivity and attention.

Incapacitation.
Zelle is an alternate payment schema by consortium of major banks. It was introduced a little head of time just to avoid fednow from gaining traction. I'll bet a few years from now they'll attack fednow for being bloated and unused and lobby to marginalize it. Fednow basically means no more overdraft fee. they wont let that happen.
I’m gonna be honest I’m a little worried that FedNow is too little too late. If it’s never widely deployed, people won’t know it exists and ask for it.

And that means the banks can continue to push their Venmo competitor Zelle. And I’m guessing they somehow make more money that way. Or maybe push people to their 1st Local Town Visa credit card offer, now with 0.05% cash back!

> And CEC is a curse for those with AV systems of even moderate complexity.

Eh. I've had a few dozen AV setups of "moderate" complexity (multiple game consoles/streaming boxes, AV receiver, BD player, TV) and never really had bad experiences. Often things just work when I've turned them on. And honestly most of the time with things running my OG Chromecasts its the only actual device on the setup (a stand-alone TV mounted someplace like in the garage or kitchen or patio).
Now that you mention it, seems easier than custom milling a solid-copper oversized heatsink for the thing...to be fair, he does use his indoors and mostly stationary I believe, but yeah, maybe even drilling a few discrete holes in it and leaving it largely stock if you're using it with decent ventilation.

Here's a similar study that answers your question: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10282813/

> Drinking 1–5 cups/day of ground or instant coffee (but not decaffeinated coffee) was associated with a significant reduction in incident arrhythmia, including AF. The lowest risk was at 4–5 cups/day for ground coffee (HR 0.83; 95% CI [0.76–0.91]; P <0.0001) and 2–3 cups/day for instant coffee (HR, 0.88; 95% CI [0.85–0.92]; P <0.0001).

tl;dr Yes it has similar benefits, maybe slightly worse than "ground coffee" (I wish they had broken it down more granularly)

> In the arena of basic human rights, any political party that demands I show my private medical information as proof of vaccination in order that I may continue to work in a 100% remote job has lost the thread and there's no way back to good graces.

There is no political party that demands this. I've worked 100% since the start of the pandemic and have only been asked for proof of vaccination for a company onsite. Never once been at threat of losing my remote job because of vaccination status. Sounds like your company was just looking for an excuse to lay people off.

> And that erosion of bodily autonomy at the federal level led to the _easy_ overturning of Roe v Wade! At the time the federal vaccine mandates were announced, I called it that they were weakening Roe. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Really? You should've told the Supreme Court because they didn't mention vaccines at all in their decisions to overturn Roe v Wade.

Given win32k implements a good chunk of the kernel-mode graphics and windowing system it’s a pretty good place to start that effort.

Battery storage doesn't need to be cheaper than nuclear on a kWh vs kWh basis, because you only need about 5 hours storage to get to 98% renewables.

The combination of solar and wind and battery storage needs to be cheaper, and it is. The CSIRO, who factored in all costs on both sides, found that it's about 50% of the price of new nuclear in Australia. This conclusion may vary in places with less sun or an existing nuclear industry with a track record of building cheap plants quickly.

Note also that a nuclear grid will also need battery storage because demand itself is variable. Unless you overbuild nuclear and run at a low capacity factor, but that carries with it its own additional costs.
