> It always pained me greatly that every rinky-dink website on the entire internet demanded that I create a special username and password just for them. ... For the vast, silent majority of normals, who know nothing of security but desire convenience above all, this means one thing: using the same username and password over and over. And it's probably a simple password, too.

> This is the status quo of identity on the internet. It is deeply and fundamentally broken.

What I do is, I have a couple of hard passwords that I use for email and Dropbox and important services like that, and then I have a couple of stupid usernames and passwords that I use and re-use and re-use for services whose security I don't care about. (I've arrived at this strategy after years of using the internet.)

A couple of times, I have actually tried to register an account with my usual username, found that the name was taken, wondered "Hmm, did I already create that account?", tried logging in with the usual password, and found that the login worked. "Oh, yeah, now I remember making that account..." I took this as a good sign, that I wasn't wasting brainspace on that login.

I think my strategy works fine for dealing with "a dozen websites who all want a username and password", given that only one or two of them are critical. And therefore I'd question the need to change, as opposed to people figuring out a strategy like mine and passing on the idea. Also, currently, anonymous throwaway accounts are easy to create; would it be that way if sites required something like OpenID? (I guess if the idea is just to reduce password complexity for customers, then sites could just add OpenID as a secondary means of logging in--rather than having it be the sole means--and you could still make throwaway accounts. Note that I don't know anything about OpenID; maybe there is a way to do anonymous throwaways within OpenID.)
The exchange during the last question in the Q&A section is golden: "(...) and of course there was the infamous ahx tracker - (guy asking interrupts) - thanks, I wrote it"

Me neither, my first encounter with it was 3 or 4 years ago at a backpacking shelter in Iceland.
Which freelance marketplace?

I don't think immigration laws can affect freelance marketplaces that much (but maybe only in industries that are heavily regulated and require freelancers from within-city/state/country).

If you apply labour-supply theory and the fact that the marketplace is global, the buyers will either look for the cheapest or the best quality or both (at the same time). So whether you're in the Philippines or New York City, immigration laws apply under certain situations only.

Based on your question ... I think money-flow regulation laws can affect freelance a lot more.
> colleagues and I reveal that people who walk or cycle have lower carbon footprints from daily travel, including in cities where lots of people are already doing this.

Not to disagree with the broader point, but I think it's worth distinguishing "travel" from "transportation". I don't have a car, and I bike and walk for almost all of my daily personal "travel". But, I think this also makes me more willing to use delivery services, in which case I'm offloading some carbon footprint to trucks and vans which might not be counted as part of my "daily travel". Part of the appearance of reduced emissions can come from sweeping some emissions into a different category.
The one thing that's not redacted is the existence of a 2100 MHz converter. I guess that suggests UMTS support rather than only GSM, which means they've either broken the authentication UMTS terminals do of the network or they have the full cooperation of the network operators.
Well yes, but if you need to setup the codebase on another computer for example or are very used to use GitHub to do some "extra things" like browsing and follow commits, it will disrupt the workflow.
The sexiest case of regulatory capture I've ever seen.
If you think you can launch an identical service "for free, essentially instantly", and know that such a service can get $12 million of funding that quickly, why don't you?

I guess you give part of the answer yourself:

> I also think Magic is going to be hard to be sustainable due to fraud.

In other words, you can't launch an identical service for free, essentially instantly, without being prepared to put in a huge amount of gruntwork afterwards to solve hard problems - like fraud.
Yes, but we have some of these services in Atlanta, and it may portend of future things to come, at least for a certain category of well-compensated people.

My general experience has been that Valley trends do get exported, if with considerable latency, to other metro areas. Uber and Lyft are big hits. GrubHub matters. A nontrivial percentage of people in my generation seem to use Instakart...

Think of Python 2 and Python 3 as different languages with the first having a larger ecosystem and slightly better performance in some common workloads on the main implementation.
Yeah. My comment was ment to answer the question above yours...
Aside from the obvious alternative of "personal use," are you really surprised that people aren't always in full compliance with their EULAs?
This is nothing like tobacco and the amount of money spent on research to support AGW absolutely dwarfs the amount of money that the energy companies spends.

Here's a simple question: for the ground based sensors used in a significant portion of land based temperature readings, what happens if you just simply forgot to mow the grass for a couple of weeks. Or, in general, just don't mow it short enough?

Answer: you'll get readings 2-5F too high, especially at night.

The biggest issue is that the land based sensor data we rely on is kind of junk and is constantly being tweaked and changed, and the satellite based data is only marginally better.
Reading "microexpressions" is charlatanism. The results are as vague as a Tarot card reading, for the same reasons. We've been defrauded by the purveyors of this junk. Among the places it's been debunked: http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2013/06/25/emotio...
Maybe so. But I was thinking, maybe there're weird patterns that human pattern-matching will erroneously classify as well. Probably unconsciously - if we look again, we'd say 'huh, that's just a mess of pixels'. So you'd have to flash them briefly and ask for an instant answer or something, to catch the pattern matcher before the cognitive check got done?
I've got a bit of a lifehack about that.

The average use will look at a menu in a "F" pattern[1]. Try to imagine a big "F" over the menu, then pick something outside of it.

Try to stay clear of images too. If they require an image to sell you the product, there's a reason.

Avoid fancy descriptions and titles. Something called "Fried rice with chicken" will often be just as good and often in bigger quantity than "Le Coq au Vin du Chef". Foreign words and country of origin are a big red flag you are buying dreams and not quality + quantity food.

TL;DR: Pick the thing that looks good but "meh". Fancy restaurants have chefs that will make everything flavourful. The only reason it has a "meh" description is because the profit margin is lower.
Checked out the app and read the article. The app attempts to have a "personal timeline" similar to twitter. You can view the pictures on the web without using the app, but the problem with that is that they're not in the personal timeline. So the whole thing is basically reduced to an instragram clone.

It's clearly a "version 1" product. But with all their funding, I'm sure Path will iterate and re-release.

I have a slightly higher threshold for considering something refreshing.

It took several levels of basic mistakes for this to happen AND for the restore to be as slow as it is.

Using MySQL with no transactions, no binary backups, no way to do a quick restore, and no separation of dev/production. DROP as opposed to DELETE cannot be rolled back and is therefore scary -- unless you aren't using transactions in the first place, in which case, WHEE!
And to top it off, it's distorted the food we produce. Corn seems to have become the go-to crop for almost everything, where possible, even when it wouldn't normally make sense. It has made sugary diets more affordable than they would be otherwise, which has had bad consequences for Americans' diets, which feeds into the extremely high medical costs we face, lowered productivity, and a host of other problems.

I would say the farm subsidies are one of the worst government programs in place today, in terms of the well being of the US populace and economy.

Biofuels are another example of a disastrous subsidy program, but not on quite the same level.
>Would love to use C# if it’s not from MS.

I find it hard to take someone with an opinion like this seriously. C#/.NET/CLR is a fantastic platform, and if it does what you want (and Mono is sufficient for your cross-platform needs) then that's all that should matter.
That 17 is prime strikes us as absolutely certain, yet there’s nothing in the physical world we can point to as the source of that certainty. (Seventeen blocks that can’t be arranged into a rectangle? Give me a break.) In that respect, math seems more like subjective experience than science: you might be wrong about the sky being blue, but you can’t be wrong about your seeing it as blue.

Here's where a little philosophy would help; we could save a lot of time by invoking the sensible/intelligible distinction. Mathematical entities are intelligible, not sensible, and their mapping to the external world is epiphenomenal. Seventeen is prime, not because of any empirical evidence, but because it has to be prime under the definition of primality. Math, like chess, is a game with rules.
The dis-incentive to retire earlier will leave that person in the job market, and younger people will find it harder to get into the market. I have no proof, but I think this will lead to lower quality of goods in the long run, since the younger people will not have had the as much time to hone their craft as the previous generation of young people did.

The one page resume 'standard' is a myth. Unless you're a new grad, one page is extremely difficult to do unless you shirk to a 9pt font. If you happen to have two degrees, that's already a minimum of 5 lines of space (the Education heading, a blank line and two lines for the school, plus one line of buffer after the last entry. With your name, contact info, etc, that could be five or more lines (depending on Te size of your name/heading, etc. If you have an "about" or objective section, that's likely 1-3 sentences, so about 5 lines, if you list skills, that can be another block of content. After all that, you might have room for 3 past jobs, but forget about actually describing your accomplishments at those jobs. So with clever formatting, a 1 pager is possible, but what is the reason for an artificial constraint? The one page standard is outdated as well as arbitrary. I have hired about 15 developers over the past few years and never once did I say "a two page resume!! Next! For me it's about content and not about clever formatting. I do like nice formatting, but not formatting with the intent of squeezing content into an arbitrary page.

Whitespace is your friend. It makes resumes much more powerful. Page count is arbitrary. A resume should be long enough, not too short, not too long.
I'm clearly not the audience for this, as I think the case for near-term extinction of the human race is far from obvious or even likely.

>Don’t launch a product until you’ve put a prototype in front of a few customers and gotten feedback. Make sure that they say that they’ll find value in it – key questions include things like “how would you use this feature?”

I (and several others) found that it doesn't always work. There's a gap between "I'd hypothetically use it" and "I will actually use it". It's often the case that, when asked if they'd use a certain feature, potential customers often say "yes" but when the time comes around to actually using the feature/product, no one suddenly cares. I've seen several articles describing this interesting phenomenon, but I can't find the links.
Nonetheless, I’m glad they did ask. Learning a lot about chickens now.
And given th usernames and emails are out there, it reveals (a) all the companies using slack, (b) potentially very high value targets. I wonder who they had specifically emailed. My guess is those people aren't using slack anymore.

You could do something similar with an IRC server and bots with webhooks... Just the same, they did do this, and offer a web based interface that people are more comfortable with (no need for an irc client), and does more than IRC clients do.

IT's not that anyone else couldn't do this, it's that they've done it relatively well.
I disagree. Bad practices, like (linking to) websites that do not degrade gracefully, is worthwhile. Only by creating awareness, change can be invoked.

Another embarrassment for SF. I've been thinking more and more how government jobs do not attract the best and brightest because there is so much more money to be made in the private sector. However, their responsibilities are pretty high. I don't have a solution for this.
Well it'd be almost impossible to sneak brass or steel cased cartridges through a metal detector (also the copper jacket on the bullet itself). Not to mention that you need a metal firing pin to hit the primer.

I think the move will be for ANAME records. ANAME is not a real record (yet), but some providers are supporting them.

It is similar to a CNAME record but instead of storing the domain name you want to map to it pulls the A record and puts that IP as your A record.

I get what you're saying, but I don't want to be spammy is why I don;t just want to (aimlessly send traffic to pages) would like to create real value for someone. When my favourite clothing brand releases new clothes, it's genuinely exciting to buy and wear it when it arrives, it's a really good feeling.
Merlin has no trouble with it, unsurprisingly.
> It is really time to bridge the divide and come together.

"Fuck your feelings". I could probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of times where the right has suggested "bridging the divide". Instead it's "patriot" this, "traitor" that, and so on.

And all the while any conciliatory efforts are ignored. One side clearly isn't interested in this bridge. But constantly expects the other side to make concessions to them in the name of some hypothetical middle ground that they openly mock even as they do so.
You're trying to skate over the difference between good-faith political debate and bad-faith encouragement of violence and sedition.

Diverse dissenting views are fine. Plotting armed violence to overturn a legitimate election result isn't.

If the far-right can't operate without plotting armed violence - and there's plenty of evidence it can't - then it puts itself outside the reach of any free speech arguments.

Not just because its views are abhorrent, but because it would gleefully destroy absolutely all forms of dissenting free speech itself if given the opportunity.
Amazing that gear still works. Fun.
The problem with these FB & Twitter bans is its easy to creat a new social media platform, esp if you can get exclusives like this. The main reason I joined twitter (and tiktok) is because I saw so many sites and newspapers with the links and watermarks. If Parlor or what ever site does host trump it quickly becomes a new app you should get, it doesn't shut him down, there will be fewer controls.
> Do you notice that they are holding drinks purchased from Starbucks while not wearing masks?

I'm interested in how you think they are supposed to consume the drinks while wearing masks.
In isolation they aren't. Immediately following the quoted tweets they explain:

"Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks."

They then explain exactly what they're thinking about those tweets.
He spoke to them for over an hour telling them how angry they should be, that they should go to the Capitol, and that they should fight. The mob did as he told them to do.
It is a bad idea.

And it seems coordinated with a parler ban at app store level and a purge of other political figures.

It just begs for a counter move. He is still the president, not all out of options.
The difference is network effects; the other examples you mentioned all involve communications between individuals or small groups. I'm pretty sure this has been explained to you before.
Looks like it doesn't support HTTPS, which means many sites can't be filtered by it, and that number will only increase.

I use Proxomitron ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxomitron ), which is quite similar in basic operation but also allows filtering HTTPS using OpenSSL. You do need to create and install your own certificates, which fortunately isn't all that difficult. I suppose you could call it a "benevolent MITM".

Ah, got it. I'll admit that I tend to make build scripts that are a bit too complicated, due to the freedom of having a full language, but it is quite nice to have when needed. It does end up with build scripts that are far more flexible, though, not having read build scripts that others have written, I don't know how much of a cost there is to it.
