Interesting that the research completely ignores the impact lockdowns have had when the governments actually enforce them and combine them with widespread testing. Paper literally mentioned China was the first country to deploy lockdowns, then never mentions China again.
All and all, pretty obvious lockdowns work if they’re actually enforced.
Stating obvious, being alone is not the same as being lonely.
That said, to me, the key to not being lonely is to be alone, since when you’re lonely around people there’s urge to feel that only if you were able to connect with the people around you that it would fix you being lonely; in my experience, it won’t.
Being alone forces you to reflect on the loneliness inside of you and realize you’re in control of it.
There is no silver bullet to fix being lonely. Everyone has there own way of dealing with it. But to me, the key to is understand when you’re feeling lonely and find ways to manage it.
Yes, user you replied to is the author The Cuckoo's Egg according to this comment by the same user, which includes an explanation of how the book came to be:
Also, this post says it’s few hours old, which makes no sense given you commented yesterday. Though the submission history for the user has the correct timestamp too:
Attempted to find critical counter points to the “seneca curve” — but was unable to find any via Google, Wikipedia, etc.
As is, worth noting that human’s analysis of complex systems is very limited and likely will never realistically be of any truly significant state prior to the collapse of humanity; no formal proof of this myself, but to me, it is clear relatively speaking humanity’s cognitive capacity, observations of universe large, small, over time, etc — are extremely finite.
While it’s possible I have misunderstood the claims made by the seneca curve, the core issues I take are that:
— most man made complex systems likely do follow the seneca curve, though in my opinion, so do most man made systems, not just complex ones.
— many organic systems though do not follow this pattern. For example, the human body reaches peak complexity, that is full development, early in the average life span, then slowly decays and is very resilient to failures within its system.
Guess not having read the original research, to me the seneca curve feels like both literal & semantic cherry picking.

As it relates to the narrow topic of civilizations covered by the article. Yes, humanity has created & labeled various civilizations, but if an alien race was observing humanity, would they really see any meaningful use to these labels in understanding humanity? If not, I would argue neither should humanity and that the true concern should be the collapse of humanity, Earth as we know it, etc.
Whole reason they are doing this is because increased energy costs have driven demand for electric cars — which points to the real solution — phase out subsidies for petroleum based energy and systems, then increase taxes on them; UK has some of the largest subsidies for oil & gas in Europe.
From the industry’s perspective, they don’t care about per capita, they care about the total amount.
From the perspective of managing climate change, per capita analysis makes it easier to hide overall significance of the subsidies; aka 10k pop with 1k in subsidies on a per capita basis would be equivalent to 100k pop with 10k in subsidies; killing the 10k in subsidies of the 100k pop country would have 10x the impact of the industry.
This is not about being fair to countries, it’s about having as much impact as fast as possible.
Do you actually have specific notable (and comparable) examples of technology based industries that reached relatively the order of magnitude crypto has that were rapidly killed off?
Otherwise, as is, your response to me is without merit.
250k is per entity, per bank — perfectly legal to use multiple banks and banks publicly offer this as a service to businesses and high net worth individuals.
Billions, even 10s of billions, is not comparable to trillions.
None examples so far have provided independently source of valuing industries claimed, nor to my knowledge have any of the industries cited have as many direct customers.
Feel free to provide specific (and comparable) examples.
To be clear, just trying to be objective. For example, NFTs alone for living artist easily surpassed the billion made in non-NFT sales for living artist; sure NFTs were 30-40% behind in total volume, but that’s largely for dead artists.
Further, you keep bring up legal changes, but I am not aware of any pending legal matters that might have a substantial impact on the use of the technology itself; further, crypto is global and clearly adapted to legal changes including all out bans in China.
Neither fan or hater of crypto space based technology; said as much prior, but appears you’re not reading my replies.
Further, you clearly did read the OP comment, which said the “whole crypto space” — so no, I don’t believe me responding to that as the scope is off-topic, changing the scope, etc.; I didn’t even include cryptography, which is obviously part of the space, worth $10 of trillion and used 7.26 Billion or making up 91.54% of the world's population; every phone uses cryptography.
Next, lol, money is obviously real, claim it’s not is funny at best, not even worth responding too; obviously not worth the 10s of trillions the public equity market is worth, but again, no example you’ve supplied came close to even 10 billion; reminder that trillion divided by billion is 1000, even at 100 billion, that still 10x larger; even at 10 billion, that would be like comparing industry making $1 a year to one that makes $100.
No idea what the whole 89% of the stock market point means; either literally, or as it relates to the topic.
From OP comment, “ Do you think this cycle the whole crypto space goes down the drain never to be heard of again?”
Obviously the tech is part of the “whole space” and not a fade; didn’t even bring up encryption, which is the fundamental core of crypto. Sure encryption might be ban, but if you think governments will apply that to themselves, that’s obviously not a common or reasonable position.
(Honestly cannot recall ever reading anything from him that was actually useful or concise. If you read all the post, links of it, links of those posts, it would take days if not weeks to read and have no reason to believe that the end result would be any different than having spending 2-mins reading his writings.)
Labels are dated, please forget making the icons better.
According to Statista, 80% of the world’s population owns a smartphone. Just add a link to the instructions and have translations in plain language that are standardized; that is manufactures/brands just reuse the standard types of instructions that are relevant.
Might be worth disclosing you are the “VP (of) Ecosystem and Business Development” for Tabnine in any comments that your pitching Tabnine; while you’re at it, might not hurt to add that to your HN profile.
See a lot of criticism for how Wikipedia is run, but never any well reasoned solutions that offer an actionable path forward; as in click to donate to do ABC so that XYZ will happen.
As is, to me, what this is missing is an explicit explanation of why this requires being paid for and metered API with public pricing that does not require “enterprise” effort to use. I could easily see numerous people and organizations wanting real-time notifications to pages of interest to them, but few wanting this for the whole of Wikipedia.
Anyone aware of any exploits tied the SHA-1 weakness in the wild?
(I have seen proofs of concept [1], but never actually heard of an exploit in the wild using it; for example, on: digital certificate signatures, email PGP/GPG signatures, software vendor signatures, software updates, ISO checksums, backup systems, deduplication systems, Git, etc.)
Might be wrong, but doesn’t appear he was not doxxed — but that he knew the risks, publicly identified himself via his profile, his edits were traceable to him, etc.
Have not seen any information to support this claim. Appears that his edits were public and he self identified via his Wikipedia profile. Possible that non-government actors supportive of the current Belarus government reported him, but have not seen any information supporting methods you posted above.
Not familiar with the specifics of Mark’s case, but a possibly comparable trial of Pavel Pernikau resulted in him being sentenced to 2 years in a penal colony.

For content, Japan is well known for finding & returning lost items.
From 2020: “With an inner-city population fast approaching 14 million people, millions of items go missing here each year. But a staggering number of them find their way home. In 2018, over 545,000 ID cards were returned to their owners by Tokyo Metropolitan Police – 73% of the total number of lost IDs. Likewise, 130,000 mobile phones (83%) and 240,000 wallets (65%) found their way back. Often these items were returned the same day.”
Not familiar with SMS Sender ID Verification, but after quick Google, I was unable to find any signs that it counters SMS spoofing.
SMS as a 2FA channel is broken. There are so many vulnerabilities that it just makes no sense to use; for example: corrupt telco employees, SS7, sim card cloning, sim swap, spoofing, governments, etc.
Beyond that, if you’re located or traveling internationally, it’s a nightmare to deal with.
NIST has not recommended SMS based 2FA since 2016:
Engineers are rarely good at writing technical documentation, especially compared to technical writers (that is “secretaries” per author’s lingo) which by definition, should be. Engineers generally cost more than technical writers. Good technical writing saves engineering time both during AND after the documentation is produced.
Author spends large amount of time, to poorly express that to be a good technical writer, you must understand who needs what and why, then figure out how to solve that the best way based on the context.
____System for to Producing Tech Docs____
Anyone looking for a good system of producing documentation should check out:
HackerOne didn’t steal the funds, author clearly states the funds are on hold, just not transferable due to the sanctions on Russian and Belarusian banks.
Author should be focused on understanding the sanctions as they relate to his situation; in my opinion, if possible, he needs to leave Russia as soon as possible.
Not expert, but quick Google shows it’s complex, and 100% based on author’s situation; for example, sending $1000 is not the same as $50000 and intentionally breaking up transfers to get around limits might be illegal. For example, here’s just one website trying to explain ways of sending money:
HackerOne would have to understand long list of possible situations of each hacker being paid that’s subject to the bans and individually deal with them while taking on the risk they somehow made a mistake.
Author might not be responsible for the situation that produced the bans, but again, solution is to leave Russia, or at least take on the responsibility of finding a non-Russian financial institution they are able to open an account with to legally get payments and then find a legal way to transfer the funds to Russia.
