For a darker twist...

That moment when when the CEO is back in the hotel room, and realizes he just authenticated to a laptop that was not his would be an ideal moment for the assassin that looks very similar to him to exit the hotel bathroom, pop the CEO, dress in his clothes, and proceed to the bank for wire transfer shenanigans.

In other news, a bunch of people got a lot more work done today than normal I suspect...

Node has a low barrier to entry(JS), and that shows in the quality of the work. If anyone remembers QBasic, it was hated for the same reasons. It's great to grasp core concepts with, but inappropriate to build something like an ERP system. It's a toy, although a powerful one.

> What's your position on the current third shot issue? Should we listen to the scientist panel that said no, or the government that said yes?

We should listen to ourselves. If we don't have enough information to make an informed decision, then study and acquire that information. No one is responsible for you except for you - with the caveats of children/dependents being not responsible for themselves.

What Youtube or any other internet information says is irrelevant until you decide otherwise.

> Do you think that YouTube did a good thing by allowing that content?

They didn't do a good or a bad thing - they were a blank canvas someone put their art(video) on. Recently, that blank canvas is only willing to have certain art present on it - that's not a good thing. The only thing keeping it going is an inertial mass of subscribers, which over [possibly a long] time will dissipate.

> but multiprocessing is a mess

Could you share a little more about your experiences with mp? I'm in the other camp - I use multiprocess in several python applications and am more or less happy with it. My real curiosity I suppose is what data you are trying to pass around that isn't a good candidate for mp.

My own use cases normally resemble something like multiple worker-style processes consuming their workloads from Queue objects, and emitting their results to another Queue object. Usually my initial process is responsible for consuming and aggregating those results, but in some cases the initial process does nothing but coordinate the worker and aggregator processes.

> your identity is NOT your job

This didn't sink in until my 30's, it's true though.

I'd bet this type of behavior from the government is what causes "domestic terrorism"...not just the "radicals" mentioned in headlines.

In other news, operational security is just as important as technological security measures. This means not leaving your device unattended, and if you do, implementing tamper detection of some variety. This can be as simple as a battery operated motion activated video recorder hidden and aimed at your equipment. You can pick one up for $25 on amazon.

Well... I think meritocracy is perfect, it mirrors evolution in rewarding superior contributors(ie, on their merit). However, being in the "elite" mentioned in the article does not imply you have merit. People in that "elite" might have merit, but they might also just have rich/powerful parents, connections, and friends. If that's the case, then they aren't "elite" based on their merit, but based on who they know.

> PGP is still uncracked, if I'd become a criminal then public PGP with at least 8k bits key would be my choice.

It's not PGP that is uncracked, PGP is a set of tools built on top of RSA. RSA is still secure (other than brute force factoring) with appropriately sized keys.

The biggest problem with PGP isn't PGP itself, it's your opsec approach to everything else. Example... after decrypting a PGP payload - did you save it to disk unencrypted? Did the recipients to your messages save it unencrypted? Are any machines infected with keyloggers? PGP is a great tool, but still requires good opsec overall.

Denying that 10x <anything> exists is usually a shallow defense mechanism for our own egos. We aren't that good at <skill>, so we convince ourselves that no one else is either.

I don't have(and never have had) any social media accounts...ie facebook, twitter, instagram, tiktok, etc. The closest would be an HN account.

That said, could someone tell me what I might be missing? Ignorance is bliss, but it's also ignorance - is there any critical information or happiness that everyone else [who uses social media] enjoys that I do not?

Try intraday stock/futures/forex trading... it will quickly break the "scrub" mentality the author talks about. You either play to win, or you run out of money and can't play anymore.

> Students should be able to enter med school straight out of HS. This is how it's done in Europe

I had no idea about this, but it seems brilliant. Immediately immersing them in medicine instead of all the non-medical education you would be forced to complete(and pay for) in the US sounds like a win.
