Sorry to be unclear. Read that as “it doesn’t have to be your password.” As in, the fact that you’ve entered the correct password can be communicated to the OS without actually sending it your password. You can do it more securely than just setting a flag if that’s a concern, although the fact that the disk is readable at all is solid proof that some user’s password was entered correctly, so you don’t have to defend against too much.
I've forgotten when, but it has been a while; I've been with just "Unread" and "Flagged," which are built-in filters of Apple Mail. The "Flagged" ones are the ones I focus on, while the "Unread" is done, forgotten, or "Flagged."

Whichever you use, invest time in learning the shortcuts, and things go pretty smoothly. My mail client is, thus, pretty clean most of the time.

If anything getting it for diabetes got harder now.

Canadian employers sunlife insurance.

If you were prescribed it before the influx(not specific date) it was covered for diabetic purposes and still covered.

Now if you want to apply sunlife says NO, but you can get your doctor to send us these forms with additional info about the diabetes diagnosis and need and may be covered.

On the flip side theres a local diabetic that has been getting multiple high dosage units covered, but doesn't actually need them or take them

I got my a prius in jan 2001. It was $18K and got 45-ish mpg despite that I didn't do anything to try to maximize my mileage. My previous car was a manual Sentra SE-R two door. Despite being a smaller car, it got about 24 mpg and was a similar price (time adjusted). But according to you, those things were not why I bought it, it was because I was self righteous.

Let's say you are right: nobody really cares about the Prius price or technical specs and bought it to be seen. Now imagine someone buying something other than a Prius, say a BMW, or a Lexus, or even a lower end car like a Corolla who might dither over the color or trim package. How much ire do you have for those people being vain in caring what impression their car makes?

If you don't don't care about the non-prius scenario, it means you don't really care about the vanity aspect of car purchasing decision. Inspect what is really driving your resentment.

Back in the day I used r2e, which was an old python scrip for the same purpose.

I actually removed it primarily because it was the last package on my system at the time to need python, and removing it let me purge a whole bunch of python packages and save a lot of space!

I'm not interested in figuring out which judicial system is worse, I'm sure russia would win. But you give the western system far too much credit, because the police frequently rely on unscientific methods to convict people, even after this fact has been known. Not just the article I linked, polygraphs, drug searching dogs which also have been shown not to actually be effective but mostly respond to their handlers. I don't know what things are like in russia, but for sure I do not like people pretending there is no problem because other places are worse. And I have very little hope AI won't be the next thing on that list.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Most of what you say resonates with what I am also going through. Thank you for sharing.
> It's a matter of incentives. The profit motive is fundamentally opposed to a low-intervention platform for democratic communication.

Exactly.

It seems the only way to sidestep this growing problem is to create a profit free platform, and view it almost as a utility but is openly owned and controlled by "the people."

The P5P form harms less if in excess. This is in contrast to the default form which is pyridoxine. I have found 20 mg of P5P twice daily to be quite useful for keeping stress spikes in check.

I am working on a diagramming tool that has the combination of a syntax for diagramming as code, extended with a syntax to define rendering constraints (e. g. this part of the diagram shoukd be left of this part, or this arrow must not cross this arrow). I hope this will greatly ease consistent diagram rendering and also getting the final mile pixel perfect.

Currently already have a very alpha version working of the renderer using Cassowary, and working on making a good GUI.

Yours is not a good design.

First, passwords are terrible sources of entropy. Second, users want to change passwords without needing to re-encrypt every single block on their disk.

The correct approach, generally, is to generate a completely random encryption key (in a TPM) and encrypt it with the password.

The encryption key itself will have plenty of entropy, it can be changed trivially, you can set up multiple users to unlock the disk if desired, etc.

Further, what about systems with multiple users? Only one person should be unable to unlock the disk? No, you probably want the OS volume to be unlockable at boot without user intervention. When one of the users logs in, their password is used to unencrypt their volume’s encryption key.
> As in, the fact that you’ve entered the correct password can be communicated to the OS without actually sending it your password

Can't communicate with the OS -- the disk is locked.

> You can do it more securely than just setting a flag if that’s a concern

Now we just wait for a vulnerability in this mini-app stored in unencrypted storage to be able to set some flag and wallah, we bypass the user's password at the OS level.

No more of your filters. But your mail host is still filtering out things and deciding which emails you will see and which you will not. Even freedom loving Proton mail does it. Gmail and MSOffice365 are terrible about silently dropping legitimate emails.

It's not easy to set up but a personal mailserver is the only way to know you'll actually receive mail people send you. Getting other mailservers to accept your mail is different and harder problem, of course.
News articles have a valid purpose of popularizing journal articles for the vast majority of people who will feel lost looking at a journal article directly.

Ask HN: Cheapest way to run a time-series database in cloud?
I need to run a database (preferably Postgres-based, currently using TimescaleDB) to store about 20M rows of price data per day, with the option to discard or offload data after 7d to cold storage.

It's just a hobby project that doesn't make me any money, so I want to run this as cheaply as possible. I was experimenting with TimescaleDB cloud but the pricing there starts at $40 a month not including storage.

I tried running it myself on Fly.io but the DB imploded within hours of setting it up and was extremely difficult to recover, so I had to give up on that.

Ozempic treats a problems (overweight) and might prevent problems further down the road (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems etc.) with trade offs like higher risk for specific cancers.

Where in my post do you see that I said that Ozempic should not be made available? Please work on your reading abilities.

This is true but also because the US is geographically and culturally diverse this is impossible in any given city. And that applies equally to none-touristy cities. You're not going to get a broad sense of America from Oklahoma City, either.

The smaller and more homogeneous the country, the easier it is to generalize and get a sense from even a single sample point.
> I unsubscribe to everything I do not absolutely need.

This right here is one of the greatest quality-of-life improvements I ever adopted. Every single email you get, if you don’t absolutely want it, find and click the unsubscribe link in the footer.

(Standard disclaimer, don’t click links in spam. Only do this for senders who got your address through some kind of legitimate purchase or account sign-up.)

Each time you buy something, and they send you that first “hey why not buy something else too?“ message, unsubscribe. It takes a bit of discipline, but it pays dividends.

It is possible to get to a point where you hardly receive any mail. You can get to inbox zero doing this. It’s genuinely refreshing.

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of other people’s inboxes and, my god, I can’t imagine going back to that life.
Or in other words, you should derive the disk’s encryption key from the user’s login password?
> Average electricity cost in the EU has been €0.289 per kWh.

I'm curious where you're getting this from, and also what other Europeans on HN currently pay?

I'm in Spain with Octopus (via Spock's collective bargaining), and my effective price for December ended up being 0.131 EUR/kWh, while you claim a price that is 3x what I currently pay. Just wondering if I'm an outlier with the price Spock managed to get us.

Edit:

> The EU average price in the first half of 2024 — a weighted average using the most recent (2022) consumption data for electricity by household consumers — was €0.2889 per KWh.

1/3 of the population speaks English “at all” (by which they mean speaking fluently, not learning) and 380 million people (roughly 5% of the population) is native.

> Algorithms can and have been copied and improved.

Tiktok's algorithm can't be copied in the West. What makes it "so good" isn't some technical secret—it's that it starts apolitical and remains politically non-committal. If you're not into politics, it won't push political content at you. If you are, it won't suppress conservative views or force-feed you western progressive narratives. If you change your political interests it won't continue to nudge you towards western progressivism or Conservatism™ or some mainstream "safe" brand of political discourse.

Western corporations won't replicate this because they're committed to embedding specific messaging in everything at all times to astroturf and force national culture shifts.

This understanding is sufficient to explain the motive behind the Tiktok ban as well as why no extremely well funded and highly motivated, intelligent corporations in the west can repeat tiktok's algorithm success.

Show HN: Interactive systemd – a better way to work with systemd units
I created a TUI for systemd/systemctl called isd (interactive systemd).

It provides a fuzzy search for units, auto-refreshing previews, smart sudo handling, and a fully customizable, keyboard-focused interface for power users and newcomers alike.

It is a more powerful (but heavier) version of sysz, which was the inspiration for the project.

This should be a huge timesaver for anybody who frequently interacts with or edits systemd units/services. And if not, please let me know why! :)

Full disk encryption is just inherently a flawed approach compared to per file encryption. Androids approach of only protecting user data with behind the password and otherwise using a separate encryption key to allow the os to boot to the lock screen and some apps to run (eg alarms) is a more user friendly approach. Unfortunately we don't seem to have that sortve option available to us with desktop OS.
