That's not the same type of bot net. Fail 2 ban simply is not going to work when you have a popular unauthenticated endpoint. You have hundreds of thousands of rps spread across thousands of legitimate networks that. The requests are always modified to look legitimate in a never ending game of whack-a-mole.

You wind up having to use things like tls fingerprinting with other heuristics to identify what to traffic to reject. These all take engineering hours and require infrastructure. It is SO MUCH SIMPLER to require auth and reject everything else outright.

I know that the BigCo's want to track us and you originally mentioned tracking not auth. But my point is yeah, they have malicious reasons for locking things down, but there are legitimate reasons too.

Any chance that this is actually due to websites requesting weird WebAuthN credential parameters (e.g. enforcing attestation, which software implementations by definition will not be able to support) or using the legacy U2F API? In my experience that's usually the culprit.

This is correct. I just submit the prompt and 'rate it' in my head.

I wish there was a 'historical' or fiction version of that subreddit though.

For retail pharmacies the problem isn't so much the cost of prescription drugs but rather the impact of PBMs on the industry.

https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/explainer/2019...
Edit: include note on PBMs

In the US, insurance companies and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)[0] are the biggest threat to smaller, independent pharmacies. Even if your neighborhood has a Mom and Pop pharmacy (a rarity, as you suggest), if most insurance providers do not provide coverage for that pharmacy I doubt many folks will go there. Instead they would go further across town or use online services - driving independent pharmacies out of business.

On the side of the PBMs influence, the consumer might not see a difference in the price in order for the indie pharmacy to stay competitive, but the cost of medicine for indie pharmacy can be much higher than the corporate pharmacy - meaning they make no money on a sale and in some cases actually lose money. (I recently learned that in some cases, specifically with GoodRx, indie pharmacies can be forced to pay the PBM when a customer uses a PBM discount card at their pharmacy - so the consumer pays the PBM and the pharmacy pays the PBM)

Large corporate pharmacies have the strength and power to influence insurance providers and PBMs - and some even control them. That in my mind is the bigger issue in the US.

>WhatsApp on Android has the same behaviour. Most of my conversations show as a bare phone number because I decided not to give it all my contacts.

It was actually worse (at least as of a few years ago) because they didn't allow you to manually input phone numbers. You either need the other party to message you first, or use a wa.me deeplink (eg. wa.me/12125551234).
Of the remaining drug store chains in America, CVS Pharmacy might be the best positioned because it’s both largest in scale and vertically integrated with pharmacy benefit manager CVS Caremark.

However, they fumbled the introduction by trying the “maximum vendor lock” approach first. Now they need to convince everyone otherwise, even if technically it’s open now.
Scientifically, there is a lot to learn. If we understand alternate forms of consciousness, we can potentially alter our own and open up new avenues of experience.

Your last comment strikes me as strange for someone who seems to be well read on the topic. Saying that consciousness is an ability to recall memories doesn’t really describe what it is in the natural sense. The memories themselves are composed of conscious experiences, so that definition is circular. An explanation of what consciousness is would include an explanation about why, for example, chocolate tastes the way it does, rather than like vanilla, or some other completely unknown taste. Until we can explain its character (rather than just describe it), we can’t explain what it is. It’s sort of like dark energy: we can describe the phenomenon but we haven’t fully explained what it is.

Yeah Twitter/X has been great since many of the scolds and hall monitors were chased away. There's open discussions from all sides, even the more unsavory ones, and the communities that were not propped up by the scolds and hall monitors are as vibrant as ever. It's not perfect but I think more people feel comfortable posting there now and can speak frankly and openly.

A few accounts I liked left but I guess I don't really miss them as new accounts have filled their space. It could also be the communities I use Twitter for weren't affected by the culture change at Twitter.

Shale oil is extremely unreliable, and its producers have barely ever been able to make any margins out of it because the required investments are heavy and constants. Wells reach maturity after months or weeks, and then they need to be replaced. If we have not yet reached peak all oils, then it will probably happen in the coming years.
I moved away from 1P some time ago due to their move to a subscription model. After trying other solutions and having high hopes for Apple finally shipping a passwords app I finally decided to move back this year.

It's costly but excellent. I have several accounts shared with my wife and was getting caught up in the passkey problems you mentioned. Even though 1P handling OTP is not really 2FA it's very convenient and still more secure than no OTP. I also don't always want to have to have my phone on me.

On top of that I like knowing that if I change my mind at some point I can export my credentials. Moving my iCloud keychain creds was an eye-opener: it felt purposefully painful. You can do it but much of the metadata is missing or lost in the process, with the titles being the URLs. Yuck.
Interesting. How does bird strike on one engine shut down all systems? Aren't there a left/right engine system and an auxillary?

Everything you mentioned does take a lot of capital to build physical infrastructure.

There are way more than two car manufacturers and for prescriptions in particular, just near me there is CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Target and Walmart.

Cable is very much a natural monopoly because of the infrastructure and right of way issues.

None of the rest of your list is illegal or hard to do. But it takes capital to build physical stuff.

I travel a lot and my wife and I did the digital nomad thing for a year. I got my prescriptions refilled at CVS from San Juan to Las Vegas that year.

Speaking of deposit boxes, we also have a virtual mailbox whose physical location is in the back of a tax preparation office. Our important mail is sent there and when we were traveling, we could have it scanned and discarded once we viewed the image or bulk shipped to where we were. It’s dead simple to either get 1Postal or UPS franchise.

You aren’t going to have a mom and pop transit service that works globally. Again as frequent travelers, Uber and Lyft were a god send.

Banks definitely have capitalization requirements and dozens of virtual banks went out of business around 2008. I worked at a company that did bulk commercial physical and virtual mail for them - not spam, statements, notices, etc
Apparently there are plenty of companies in Italy, Germany, and Norway.

What we don't have are those sort of stunts expecting a never ending of exponentional growth, with money to burn that grows on trees, and without any regard for employees working rights.

Manufactures are not that bad. They know the law and so they won't ask for maintenance records unless that could be relevant. Many claims are rejected though because the wrong chemical (oil, coolant...) will cause failures which they know the symptoms - that is why they require specific records - they know that issues of a specific nature are often caused by not following maintenance schedules.

Of course it is in the manufactures interest to reject claims where they can. However it is also in their interest to pay out for claims since ease of handling issues is what builds loyalty.
This seems like a good spot to start with policy changes:

> In interviews with ProPublica, federal judges criticized a system that fails to address problems that arise in court case after court case. They faulted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which governs many insurance claims in court, for not allowing for punitive damages, the sort that can rise into the millions of dollars and deter companies from bad conduct.

> To one federal judge, who like others spoke about cases on condition of anonymity, doctors and the insurance companies they work for essentially get off scot-free. “They might have to pay 10 claims,” the judge said, “but if they can avoid paying a thousand claims, then why would they change anything?”
Being a caregiver for a kid with t1 is exhausting, so kudos to you and your wife.

The mental burden is SO HIGH for both the person with the condition and their caregivers. At some point if it feels right, it might be worth having him see a therapist or a counselor who specializes in chronic diseases. There's a very high correlation between depression and type 1 diabetes (last I read, you're like 300% more likely to experience severe depression as a T1D.) Especially once he goes into his teenage years, that's a really hard time for a lot of us diabetics (and sometimes during the "rebellious" phase, a kid will intentionally stop taking care of their diabetes).

> His pump beeps at him so often he's just become accustomed to it and ignores it

This is a real problem with insulin pumps and CGMs, because alarm fatigue is a real thing. It makes me mad that they insist on putting in all these alarms you can't configure, because eventually you just start ignoring it. For my CGM, I use xDrip which gives me much more customization around my alarms: I just leave on the ones that are important to me.
Thankfully only a small fraction of website does JA3/JA4 fingerprinting. Some do more advanced stuff like correlating headers to the fingerprint. We have been able to get away without doing much in Caido for a long time but I am working on an OSS rust based equivalent. Neat trick, you can use the fingerprint of our competitor (Burp Suite) since it is whitelisted for the security folks to do their job. Only time you will not hear me complain about checkbox security.

Just to clarify on what actually happened the first time:

He wasn't trying to protest the dress code or make a scene, it wasn't on his mind at all. He had been out for an appearance with a sponsor during a break, then came back to the venue for the next round, and didn't notice that he was wearing jeans and it didn't cross his mind that that would be a violation.

The controversy was about exactly how the penalty is imposed. The rule is a fine for the first violation and disqualification for multiple. It wasn't clear if his appearance for the day would count as one violation (so he could just incur the fine and wear correct clothing tomorrow), or if each round would be a separate violation. It also wasn't clear if he could play while in violation or would be excluded from each round until he changed. Precedent from other events wasn't clear for either of these. He thought he was told he could continue, but then FIDE said he would be excluded from each round until he changed, and then he said f--- it and withdrew entirely.

Also, what he withdrew from was the Rapid tournament. He is now joining the Blitz event - a separate tournament at the same venue following the rapid.
That's precisely what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Regulation was supposed to be! As you can imagine, there are strong incentives to lobby against it, so it's almost a decade late already.

> Kuntz, the designer and Gygax collaborator, said that while some topics ought to be considered off-limits, it was a mistake to interfere with the implicit social contract that has sustained Dungeons & Dragons for decade.

I'm fully in agreement with this statement. This is like human group dynamics 101, which underlies all social interaction. You figure out what sort of people you are playing with, how familiar you are with each other, and what sort of fun you want to have together. If unsure, err on the side of tameness. This has many-many dimensions besides the ones about taboo topics mentioned in the article.

Handling this through a form feels incredibly insincere and performative, and insinuates that people (including me) are not to be trusted. If you don't trust the people you're playing with, you shouldn't be playing in the first place.

That being said, this is 100% manufactured controversy. It's virtue signaling from Hasbro (possibly ESG dollar sign motivated) as well as pearl clutching from right wingers. How tabletop works is you ignore all the stuff you don't like or don't care about. I have played with quite a few parties, some of them consisting of people who were complete strangers at first, and also quite socially heterogenous.

I have never seen such a form in my life, and yet despite that, none of our campaigns turned into the pen-and-paper version of Blood Meridian.
I think the passkeys would have remained a great idea if all passkeys were provided either by hardware devices not sold by cloud services vendors, or by software not written by OS vendors.

I largely agree with your point, and I don't think most users should be using hardware tokens. But the TPM chip in the user's phone should be usable by any app on that phone, not just by the OS vendor.

I stand by my original statement that the standard was fine until users started getting shoehorned into "use Google passkeys on your Android".

As somebody who criticizes the EU a lot on HN, I want to say that European business culture is just as backwards. It's not just a couple of clowns in Brussels. The whole continent has been coasting on past glory for the past three decades and now the road to catch up to the US and China is long and steep and full of perils.

I have worked at both private and public research institutions and in both cases I witnessed a lot of waste of funding and nothing much of value being produced. I don't know what you could blame this on. I personally like to say it's bad leadership at all levels. I guess, maybe the system is so bureaucratic that the type of leadership you get is the kind that is all talk and no substance.

I have also witnessed a lot of mismanaged oversight: cases where the people overseeing the expenditure of funds were completely unfit to estimate the value of work being produced. Related to this, often time I witnessed instances where people were dealing with bureaucratic procedures so unfit with respect to the task at hand, that they would just sign on the paper, what is effectively a lie. So it's not even that there is a lot of bureaucracy. It's also that a lot of bureaucracy is lies on paper. It does not actually produce any value, track any metric or keep any people in line.

This is only my perception and my experience. But yeah, bad leadership and bad cultural practices that need to be replaced. Unfortunately the people who are to blame are the ones in charge of fixing the problem so nothing will change anytime soon. Maybe this is another problem: bad leadership never gets replaced.
“Health is a crown that the healthy wear, but only the sick can see.”

No, not like a thermostat. A bacterium is a compact and exceedingly complex living system. It has autopietic autonomy like we do. The fact the I navigate each morning to the refrigerator to get milk for breakfast is not so different from a bacterium following a gradient toward its food. Bacteria have complex receptors like we do that are their sensorium—-a nano-brain in the words of one scientist who studies their behavior.
I think the flat earth model they use allows for a 24hr sun near the North Pole.

Although even their model should not allow for a 24hr sun during the Northern Hemisphere winter, in December.

The big deal about a 24hr sun is that almost every flerfer is on the record saying that a 24hr sun is impossible in Antarctica, and making up conspiracy theories about governments preventing people from going to Antarctica, etc.
Reflecting on o3 "beating ARC": are we reliving the ImageNet 2012 moment again?
AlexNet came and blown everything out of the water. Then you can reflect how much [a lot] progress there has been since 2012 till now just on this little dataset.

o3 beating ARC is such a harder dataset, I don't even want to compare them. So how much progress there will be from just this?

Nowhere does that post or the image argue that people should prefer one over the other. Wearing warmer clothes instead of turning up the heater isn't a bad thing either, so I don't understand your hostility towards the idea?
A smaller to a medium sized company. Due to several reasons:

- Setting up payment with a third party provider isn't that simple, and their fees are far from zero.

- Getting users. Popular queries in Google are full of existing results, and getting into there isn't easy and isn't cheap. Also, search engines aren't the most popular way to get apps to your devices, usually people search directly in app stores. Apple takes care of it, i.e. I guess that popular app with good ratings get to higher position in search results.

- Trust. I install apps on the computer without Apple only if I trust the supplier of the software (or have to have it there). Apple solves it with their sandboxing.

Yep, 30% are a lot, but for these kinds of businesses it might be well worth it (especially with reduced commission of 15% for smaller revenue).

The US cellular market has T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and a bunch of mvnos. Dish is starting out and a few years back we had Sprint before it merged with TMobile.

I wouldn’t say the competitiveness changed all that much and I would say it’s more competitive than Canada with also 3 and less competitive than France with 4. However the competitiveness in France now is specifically because a low cost provider Free entered and started stealing all the costumers rather than because of the number of competitors.
Twitter didn't wait for Musk to attack alternative clients, or charging for API access. Pretty sure that's why it took him all of 5 minutes to flip the switch and turn everything completely off.
