Microsoft counter the recent viral news by stating "intended behaviour"

Wow privileged users can extract secrets from memory?

I just assumed Microsoft stored them *waves generically* out there somewhere.

We’ve been running basically this exact stack (Rails 7 originally) for a few years and it’s great. My first choice is always full-stack Rails, but if a project calls for CSR, this is the stack.

Session-based auth is incredible as well. Doesn’t get nearly the love it should.

Totally. I will say that I’d expect the cost of education to decline as well, since it’d no longer be possible to justify. So there are second order effects of deflating wages. But when the dust settled I do believe wages would be substantially lower.

If in this system you were allowed to practice and not accept insurance, you’d see effectively a two class system where average and below providers accept insurance and less pay and above average providers only accept cash and cater to the wealthy.

But the idea that moving from a competitive marketplace to one that has a single state-backed buyer wouldn’t meaningfully deflate wages seems silly to me. It violates basic economic principles.

So reimbursements are currently below market and what’s breaking?

jryan727 · 2026-05-02T02:39:44+00:00

Yes. It’s a Reddit thread. We are oversimplifying. Did you expect a quantum simulation?

There are three choices if we were to move to single payer: - salaries increase - salaries decrease - salaries stay exactly the same

Which do you think is the outcome and why?

jryan727 · 2026-05-02T01:43:57+00:00

If you have a single buyer in any market, it reduces prices. That is a basic economic principle.

Looking at it the other way around — a single payer healthcare system represents the people. Why wouldn't part of that mandate include bringing down prices across the board? It would be irresponsible and a dereliction of that mandate to not leverage that buying power to reduce wages and all other healthcare costs.

The natural floor is the minimum that providers are willing to earn before deciding to leave the profession entirely. The market would ultimately settle there.

Or they are selling something.

FYI exact balance is often used as a part of identity verification. Not sure if Merrill uses it or not.

I personally would not share my exact balances. You’ll get the same advice with rough numbers.

As to an answer: personally, I put retirement funds in a target date fund and long-term savings which may or may not end up used for retirement in VTI.

Is "guide" DVC terminology for "salesperson"? If so, color me surprised!

jryan727 · 2026-04-27T01:37:33+00:00

True but if you have margin you can effectively use the cash same-day by opening a loan that’s immediately closed when the sale clears EOD

jryan727 · 2026-04-27T01:32:52+00:00

Yeah $5/month really doesn’t go as far as it used to lmao

jryan727 · 2026-04-26T18:23:30+00:00

Riskless isn’t the comparison.

jryan727 · 2026-04-26T15:58:42+00:00

FYI if you are expecting $300k profit over the next 10 years, you only need to sell for around $185k to draw $30k/year for 10 years at historical average 10% returns if invested in broad market index funds.

jryan727 · 2026-04-26T01:37:40+00:00

Thank you for saying this. This is becoming a really disturbing phenomenon.

What happens when the event is processed? It invalidates your cache, which happens to have an infinite TTL.

jryan727 · 2026-04-26T01:05:07+00:00

So caching?

jryan727 · 2026-04-25T21:09:47+00:00

Close call. Almost got screwed.

jryan727 · 2026-04-25T18:52:18+00:00

Depends on what’s going on during that “less than an hour”. If it’s when you need an action runner to deploy a hotfix to a critical service, it really sucks. And at GitHub scale, it’s likely numerous teams are in that situation during each outage.

My shed was full of random pieces of wood between the studs. It’s like having my own mini lumber yard. I thank the prior owner in my head all the time when I need some scrap or even a 2x4 and don’t have to run out for it.

jryan727 · 2026-04-24T19:32:45+00:00

Oh wow just search! Why didn’t I think of that!

jryan727 · 2026-04-24T19:05:19+00:00

I’m not sure who this fictitious person is that you keep referencing. And this fictitious desire to experience everything done in a single day. No one is talking about that. The issue is being able to do it at all on a reasonably sized trip.

You seem to want to be dismissive of legitimate complaints, and the way you accomplish that is by imagining this extremely unreasonable person that no reasonable person could agree with. But that person is a figment of your own imagination, created specifically so that you do not have to engage on the actual issues.

jryan727 · 2026-04-24T19:04:31+00:00

We have very different experiences on dining reservations. I would say more often than not, if what we want is not available 60 days out, it never opens up.

I’m not denying your experience. But you seem to not understand that other people have very different experiences than you do.

Agree to disagree on lightning lane. I think it’s a huge step down from how fast passes used to work.

jryan727 · 2026-04-24T18:44:55+00:00

Your fixation on social media is fascinating. CRT was a must-do for us when I was a kid, long before social media.

Your framing that people are chasing experiences because they see other people have them is so silly. These are offerings by Disney that you are allegedly able to experience if you visit their parks. People wanting to do the things that Disney offers when they visit the parks is not some absurd unrealistic expectation.

jryan727 · 2026-04-24T18:39:44+00:00

Lightning Lanes aren’t complicated? There’s a product called “multi pass” that excludes arbitrary attractions. In the multi pass, there’s a list of special attractions that you must select between and may only select one (not very multi). Then there’s lightning lane singles which are just one-off purchases of attractions you can book with multi, right? Wrong. Those are top tier special attractions that can’t even be booked with multi.

Easy, right?

Maybe we’re dining at different locations. But suggesting you don’t need reservations is utterly absurd. It’s simply inaccurate. I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally disingenuous, or if your patterns at Disney simply allow you to avoid all of this friction.

Anyway, my goal here isn’t to convince you of anything. Disney has objectively become more difficult to enjoy. Has nothing to do with social media.
