Hasn't the opioid epidemic really screwed up a lot of rural America? I see interviews online, and it seems like half the people are struggling with addiction. And a lot of others are loaded up with prescription psychotropics. These things may be related, what with "self-meducation". And perhaps there are selection effects -- the mentally well ones got out? But there's some kind of cocktail of drugs and mental illness out there.
One advantage revocation lists have over session lists is that they can be distributed via a bloom filter. Assuming multiple services need to validate against some shared auth service, this can be a significant reduction in round trips.

I'm very sympathetic to that approach. But I think it has to be tempered at least a little bit with reputation. iA has been making Writer for 12 years now and it's always been a premium, highly user-respecting app. If they can't get through that bureaucracy, it probably can't be done.

Granted, past performance doesn't mean they'll be perfect forever. It's not a guarantee. It should carry some weight, though. I can't think of many devs I'd trust with my data as much as iA. Omni Group, I guess. Agile Tortoise. There's a set of devs who stake their business on their sterling reputations. It should be possible for that gang to at least contact a human to answer their questions.
> economists and other types who sole concern is "How much more money can we make from cheap shipping"

This is most people? National defense and the domestic shipbuilding industry are important, but the value of cheap shipping should not be underestimated. Plus, giving credit to the Jones Act for the current state of US civilian and military shipbuilding is, in my opinion, perhaps the strongest possible argument for repealing the Jones Act. The current state of American shipbuilding is disgraceful.

US shipyards and military production are extremely low on any number of metrics. It's unclear even now whether the US has enough stockpiles and enough production of modern munitions to maintain an active war against a peer adversary like China with such massive production capacity and such a massive population. At some point, you do need constant production of enough munitions, doesn't matter how smart or precise those might be.

Just recently a US navy tanker ran aground and now they're scrambling to find some way to fuel the carrier group in the middle east because for some reason that's the only one that was available. The navy logistics group is woefully understaffed und under-equipped.

What are the priorities in actuality? Because maintaining a military at adequate readiness doesn't seem to be at the top of the list.

> point of hypersonic weapons (used for interceptor) is they start at orbital velocities

The point of hypersonic weapons is they can fly under the radar, literally, and manoeuvre. (I should say goal, because there is no stealthy hypersonic missile yet due to heat signatures.)

The hypersonic flight regime starts at Mach 5, or about 3,800 mph. LEO is at 17,000 mph. To leave LEO quickly, you need to cancel out a lot of that velocity, and that’s just to deörbit, I’m ignoring that you’ve gone from needing to pre-cool your engine to having to pre-cool your entire interceptor because you’re manoeuvring through the atmosphere with orbital energy.

Orbiting missile defence doesn’t make sense. It’s worse than launching from the ground for space intercept. It’s worse than launching from atmosphere for boost or terminal-phase intercept. If you look at what Griffin is doing versus saying, you’ll notice Castelion is building missiles designed to be launched from conventional platforms.

This article appears mistaken about which parts of the guidelines are new.

The recommendation against periodic password change requirements, for example, has been part of NIST guidelines for years, in previous versions of this document. This has not kept a large number of US federal and state government agencies from requiring periodic password changes, sometimes even stating that it is a regulatory requirement. It's not clear that the NIST guidelines have any effect whatsoever on the very government NIST is part of.

Celebrating means more money and total compensation? If not, it is all bullshit. First, there is no "your engineers". Nobody is yours, they are all individuals that care way more about their own life than your project and that won't change. Make it visible how they also benefit from "pushing it harder" and your team might work more than expected. But who is to say that the problem is that your team is understaffed? You seem clueless and looking for some hacks to exploit people more.

By your tone you seem like a PITA to work with so if you are the CEO your best bet would be to remove yourself from the equation totally. Otherwise, wherever you go... you will be around, and "your engineers" won't be motivated.

I've looked into it a bit. I'm getting to the point where I either want to use a full ORM, or I want to write raw SQL and have it checked against the database.

Query builders are nice, but they sometimes end up in this middle ground where they have the worst parts of an ORM (needing to learn a new syntax and not getting access to all the DB features) and the worst parts of raw SQL (Unpacking relationships into objects w/ pointers is error prone boilerplate that sucks to write).

I love SqlAlchemy since it's still enough of an ORM to solve the main problem I want solved. Super curious to hear if you've had good experiences with Keysley and how it deals with transforming relationships into objects
The timing of the executive departures is extremely suspicious. There's clearly a major shift happening here in Altman's favor, and even if he's not getting equity now it seems inevitable at this point.

As others have noted, the wording here is also highly suspect: "no current plans" for a "giant equity stake" gives him at least two different paths to claim he never lied about the situation if and when he gets equity.

This is where the logic breaks down - lenders are selling these mortgages irrespective of any other conditions.

So the distinction is, using bittorrent is not illegal (yet). It's just a protocol for sharing files. But using it as a tool for illegal activity is illegal, because youre doing something illegal.

Calling this "database consumption" seems to imply a disdain for fans who are less concerned with a grand narrative than characters or elements of the setting, as if it's a mental downgrade, but many of the examples given involve fans actively creating and remixing works. As someone with an interest in doujin music and fan comics/fiction, I question the idea that this is less of a rich form of engagement than passively consuming an epic narrative that someone else has laid out for you. Sure, Sturgeon's Law applies but there are people creating fan works that require serious talent and expertise (check out EastNewSound, Zytokine/itori or Akatsuki Records/Stack in the genre of "Touhou fan music").

On the other hand, I do see a rise in gacha games that revolve around collecting an extensive cast of characters that cater to different "aesthetic preferences" on the parts of the fan community, and in which overall narrative inevitably has to take a back seat to providing content for each character. Perhaps that's another logical endpoint of this.

> The developed world is unable to compete on a level playing field against other countries when taking into consideration potentially enormous subsidies or developing world labor costs.

Cheap labor cost typically is only a fraction of a high-tech product. If anything, China was not the world's biggest factory, but the world's biggest assembler. It's changing right now, and China is producing more of its own high-tech components.

So a small amount of protectionism (like a 10-15% tariff) might be OK, and it will compensate for this labor cost discrepancy. But not tariffs that simply make the local industry complacent.

Its not the case because they are doing the opposite of what you are suggesting. They are increasing the value of the asset that they own.

Sure, the asset itself is being diluted, but the individual parts that it owns are more valuable.

It is perfectly reasonable for a non profit to prefer to own 30% of a 100 billion dollar asset, lets say, compared to 100% of a 10 billion dollar asset.
Your post is completely off-topic. The paper includes a great discussion about how the property insurance crisis in Florida dates back to Hurricane Andrew in the 90s, not a court decision in 2017. The issue raised in the paper isn't climate change, its weakly capitalized insurers and the conflict of interest created by one particular rating agency (Demotech), that is giving sketchy insurers clean bills of health that allow them to operate.

Tort reform in Florida is a bandaid. The state-run insurer is creating serious market distortions by undercharging for the risk, accumulating very large proportions of the state homeowners insurance policies (since no one else will), and then offloading the policies to undercapitalized insurers while looking the other way about their poor financial condition. When Citizen's claims are in excess of its reserves, the legislature steps in and taxes the rest of the state to cover the shortfall. I'm guessing when the other insurers become insolvent, the shortfall is offload to the state guarantee fund (possibly on the taxpayers dime). This is all covered in the paper.

Its malicious not stupid. The florida politicians and businessmen are all getting what they want while externalizing all the risk

Automattic is betraying the spirit of the license at best, and I would _hope_ flat-out wrong legally to weaponize the name.

Hi HN, I am the author of this article. I am posting it here in hopes that some of you may have insight into the second half of the story, which is about a potential violation of the DOTGOV act, and confusion about whether a website created to host the Environmental Impact Statement for this project is actually owned by the federal government.

It seems there are also quite a few people on here who work on/adjacent to aviation and/or the DOD. I welcome any criticisms and am happy to answer any questions..
Seems like a reminder to me...

Also, I wonder how the security of cryptosystems relates to a combined approach, i.e. if you cut the message and hash smaller parts with multiple algorithms (SHA-1+SHA-256) how much more infeasible you can make the "attack" here.

So you can have a global hash that is checked 3 times (so not much of a hamper but better than nothing, if you theorize there are 1000x faster than birthday problem attacks on each hash), to serve as a sort of "quick check", and a deeper hash when you split a 10 GB file into say, 10 MB chunks, and so gain back a 1000x order-of complexity (at a minimum) to compute.

For streams where order of bits matters, I speculate this may be even more difficult to attack, since each attacked hash is now constrained by the data that will fill each prior and next chunks, if not the whole set of chunks (so perhaps 1 million or greater difficulty?)
We are booing Altman because his bait and switch feels unethical, but many of us saw it coming from a mile away, how does he make this transition to take advantage of the financial system so smoothly?

What I am missing is how do you profit from this. Many of these new entries have to know that the big insurance companies left for a good reason. That the smaller entries cannot absorb the risk they will be facing.
