I wouldn't exactly call that secure disposal. Yes, the factory reset is the bare minimum. But you can probably still recover data off of it. To really be secure you have to run a wipe on the memory and storage. I would be interested in articles covering how to do that for phones and IoT devices. It's trivial to do on a computer, but much harder on other devices.
> the rest are laughing at them on the way to the bank.

My understanding is that HIPAA is intended to stop providers from colluding against the patient, not to stop providers or middlemen from enriching themselves with our data.
This type of key editing always makes me nervous. I know how uuids behave. I'm not a security expert, but I'm 99% sure the formatting steps here don't increase the chance of key collisions or security implications significantly. Is that 1% risk worth it?
We're still working out the exact process, but apps return a dictionary when they are put to 'sleep' to allow them to return to a previous state. The app state is stored in RAM currently, but could also be saved to disk. They can request that certain hardware is available for when they are woken, and they can request to be woken up at a certain frequency.

We can for example put the ESP32 into a light sleep for some time [1] and keep networking alive if apps require it. The idea is to just stretch the battery to the length of a day, shutting down the display gets a lot of the way already.

To give a geometric intuition, men orthogonalize (in a fractal sense) whereas women parallelize. Together they angularize.

If you have been in a large annoying chat group with a large number of active women, you will quickly see how they broadly value empathy over logic. And just forget about expecting nuanced systemization from them; it will never happen.

This has risks for juries.
Domain ownership, cloud accounts, IP addresses. All of these can be used to as a collection of evidence to pinpoint the target. In the old days, it would be harder but nowadays everyone is sheds fingerprint cells the same way leave dead cells with our DNA everywhere
For me its based on that vector generation is much harder than raster, recraft has raised just over $10M (not that much in this space), and their api has no direct vector generation.
Copyright is the friend to the 1% and the enemy of the everyone else.

(Of course, I'm using "the 1%" rhetorically, it's really more like 0.01%)

Simplest solution is to not use computers anymore. Move to a cabin in the woods, away from civilization, and live off the fat of the land.
Perhaps not, but I think you can be "very successful" while remaining ethical.

Most people want to be successful because success brings happiness. But there is a level of success at which happiness starts to plateau and yields diminishing returns of happiness.
This seems like nothing. Had Google ever enforced or even inspected its ad partners for use of fingerprinting?

My assumption is that every site that knows how to do fingerprinting is doing fingerprinting and probably deanonymizing against a shared signature database.
I'm a big fan of prefixed keys as well. If I could go back in time, I would've made my current company's API keys prefixed. Sometimes you'll chat with a customer and just notice the same isn't right and realize the key is all wrong. It's a lot easier if it starts with `company_XXXXX`. Also denoting environment (live vs test in Stripe) with a prefix is actually critical in my eyes.

I also like prefixed resource IDs. Stripe is the first one that comes to mind, but I've run into it multiple times where a customer is describing an issue and it turns out the ID they're trying to lookup is for a different resource (often similar). You don't get those accumulated hours of support time back...
This is good advice.

Beyond HIPAA and similar regulations, there's the broader challenge that part of the intended audience probably would not want to use it for the same reasons. Any health care professionals that handle information like this are subject to the same rules and would only use tools that comply to minimize liability.

And there's the related problem of those people probably already having a lot of tools that they use and prefer. Another tool adds to their work load.

But I don't want to completely discourage you. If you are serious about turning this into a business, I'd look into how to connect to other tools. Maybe add some IOT integrations to the mix, etc. Most GPs would love a good tool like that. Many of the tools in this space are more than a bit crap. The key to success is understanding who experiences the most pain here and taking that a way (which in this context is also a nice metaphor).

Some feedback:

- who or what is Kate? Not really clear what this name is about.

- what's the business model here? Who pays for what and why? How is that going to evolve.

- get a designer or level up your own design skills. I'm not one but I can see you didn't use one.

- work on your pitch, it raises a lot of questions. Like how you are storing information, what the pricing is, and how you deal with privacy issues, etc. Vaguely hinting at that being important in a hand wavy way doesn't make it better. Taking topics like that serious requires a more structured approach to address those things. This communicates the opposite of what you probably intend here.
Show HN: Planning Poker for Teams/Meet/Zoom/WebEx
Hey everyone!

PlanningPoker.live is an open-source hobby project that I've been working on in the past two years. I've never submitted it here, so I'm happy that I'm able to show it now and get some of your feedback.

I think the coolest and most useful part of my app is its integration with video conferencing apps. This allows remote teams to run their agile planning poker sessions without leaving their video meeting. Of course, you can also use the app from the web.

Since I’m the only developer, the app has a minimal setup: Firebase + Angular. It has about 15k monthly users and some happy customers! :)

Let me know what you think,

Yes, I HAVE used the spinning oscillating magnetic field. I don't know that I am doing it right but I have the following setup and have been doing this for a month. I simply connected a large round 500lb neodynium magnet to a drill. I set the drill to oscillate for 2 seconds rapidly and then slow down to near stopping for 1 second. This results in it continually spinning up and down. Since I don't know the ideal frequency I am trying to hit ALL frequencies.

> It's not the first pointless downgrade of the LG remote: they've already removed the pause button.

I don't have an LG nor a TV but why would you need a pause button. Isn't it more interesting to have play button act as a toggle play/pause like on any software video/music player?
To be fair, the automatic belt "fad" was more interesting than that. For a brief time in the 80s (and into the early 90s), cars were required to have either automatic seat belts or airbags. Generally speaking, air bags were more expensive during that time period, so automatic seat belts were more popular.
Any widespread recent security issues that were only affecting Safari and Firefox? That sounds like scaremongering to me.

Yeah but I should be able to swap in any JavaScript engine I desire or use one provided by the system. Browsers are far too bloated.

My guess is that the way aggressive captchas and similar tools work these days is fundamentally incompatible with the original wording in Google's policy.

As much as I consider the author of the article the deep hand behind Elon's puppet performances, some items of this are just too funny to ignore

> Can we believe that a Brazilian judge banned X without American backing, in a tragicomic perversion of the Monroe Doctrine?

Yes? Why? Is it hard to block?

(in a more charitable interpretation this can be construed as a statement of disbelief more than a question over capacity - but that again betrays a certain naivety over how things work. And yes I was never in favor of that block)

It's funny how these people ignore any agency of other countries or people. In a way it tells a lot how much these people take democracy and self-determination seriously. Of course given the quality of education in the US and the size of their egos, it's not surprising
I should also say that i am using the device for 20 minutes at a time and 3 times a day. I am not sure if that is sufficient, I know in the article they were using for 2-6 hours.
I feel like they really missed the mark with "Beautiful" as their priority. If I were to make a UUID to API key encoding/serde library I'd definitely prioritise things like human readable characters / phrases (e.g. BIP-39 style with hyphens), and as jjice said, a fixed prefix.

The WEF is essentially the world chamber of commerce. This type of messaging is trying to convince the public that AI is inevitable and there’s nothing that can be done; The underlying message is the public should accept that they are useless for the most part and that being laid off so that existing companies can maximize their profits at the expense of the citizens is a logical conclusion. Similar to the widely held belief that manufacturing of goods in the cheapest place and sending them back to your home country is a good thing, even though it hollows out the middle class, creating poverty and misery for the citizens. Just look around in the US (and other countries) at how the average person lives, or the vast quantities of homeless people wandering around with little purpose.

The idea of UBI is another one of these operations. The idea is to keep the public Placid long enough till it’s too late. Most of the people reading this forum understand this even if you don’t publicly state it. People think, “it’ll be OK. I don’t need to have a job. The oligarchy will surely take care of the masses and provide us with enough to live a respectable life.“

Essentially we’re all frogs in a pot if we fall for this.

Dashes in API keys are really annoying. Double-clicking doesn’t select the full key, which just adds extra hassle. It would be much better if they used a continuous string without any separators. Makes copying and pasting way easier, and doesn't affect security at all.

To my knowledge, HIPAA applies only to entities that accept health insurance or provide services to those entities under a BAA. There have been FTC cases against companies disclosing PHI in breaches but they don't seem to be brought under any HIPAA violation but consumer protection statutes.

From your link:

> The Privacy Rule, as well as all the Administrative Simplification rules, apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with transactions for which the Secretary of HHS has adopted standards under HIPAA (the "covered entities")
Robotics, without a doubt. Those exist today and are an actually feasible technology. Agents will very likely die out in the not-too-distant future, once the hype dies down and some more lawsuits go around and companies realize that "99% accuracy in production" is just pathetically low for these kinds of applications. At scale that's literally thousands to millions of things going wrong per second.
This is so amazing, thanks for sharing!

I usually create an API key like this: `sk_${randomUUID().replace(/-/g, '')}`.

There’s also and “authoring” bias. The “did random thing and it let to big things” is just a good story that we like to tell and hear.

I guess my best example is Netflix’s “I forgot to return Apollo 13 to blockbuster and ended up starting one of the most prominent tech and entertainment business”, even though that random event is total bogus.

It’s a good story that helped Netflix get stories in the news.
I’m not mad about the change because of whose politics it amplifies. Mark Zuckerberg will do absolutely whatever it takes to line his pockets. He doesn’t a moral bone in his body.

It costs money to run a service. If you are not paying for that service, there is an obvious incentive to monetize your data. If you are paying a reasonable price for a service, that business can sustain itself without using advertising.

Your billing address is not something advertisers can use to track you. Sure, if you use Kagi to commit crimes you may not be anonymous to the police. But there are a lot of people who do not want to be profiled by ad networks, yet do not consider providing their billing information to be a privacy issue.

Your comment about "the aura of superiority" is dismissive and a little confrontational. The commenter you were responding to was clear about why he likes Kagi - better results. I agree with him.

I find that searches for product reviews and similar commercial terms have much higher quality results than google. I also find that I get better results when I am searching for errors or lines from logfiles. Even when quoted, I find that Google will often return results that partially match my quote ignoring the important part, which makes the search useless.
Agreed. I like what GitHub did with their API tokens, not only adding prefixes but also a checksum.

There are actual statistics about this past memes though.There were conservative personalities dogged down in trying to reject Luigi.

I get your point. But the key difference is that "giving support" is a lot different than getting out to vote (which pains me to say). Statistically, 58% of those young people voting for Kamala didn't even bother going to the polls.

The worst spreader of this was the justice system though. You escalate crimes so high in a hug profile case, of course it will spread like wildfire.

Key findings:
Harmine treatment significantly suppressed the proliferation of U251-MG and U373-MG cells in a dose and time-dependent way. Mechanistically, harmine reduced the basal and EGF-enhanced the phosphorylation level of FAK and AKT. Moreover, harmine inhibited the cell viability of U251-MG and U373-MG cells by downregulating the phosphorylation of the FAK/AKT pathway. Besides, harmine significantly suppressed the migration of U251-MG cells by suppressing the expression of MMP2, MMP9 and VEGF. Subsequently, orthotopic xenograft models revealed that harmine treatment dramatically inhibited the growth of glioblastoma in vivo.

Significance:
In conclusion, these results suggest that harmine suppresses the proliferation and migration of U251-MG and U373-MG cells by inhibiting the FAK/AKT signaling pathway. Our findings elucidate harmine could be a promising drug for glioblastoma therapy.

So, turnout was still really high but not literally the highest in 120 years. Who's talking about lying with statistics again?

It is not supposed that null is the bottom value in the universe of all the values that your program can recognize? Why people need to complicate it?, and yeah in that definition `null == null`, but a `null_pointer != null` because null pointer is at the bottom of all the possible pointer value, and null by itself is not a pointer. The same for (0,null), (false, null) and ("", null). null should only be equal to itself.

And lastly undefined != null, because undefined is related with structures indicating that a field was not defined when the structure was created
