Actually, I do have 2FA enabled on my account. But I don't think I had it enabled at the time for the very first attack.

Interestingly, last night I did get an SMS: "Message from Amazon Customer Service: xxxxx is your Amazon security code" even though my 2FA is not an SMS (it's using authenticator).

I don't have access to the recording, so I have no idea what actually happened. But based on the email ("here's the details" on your order) I'm almost certain they were successful. Probably just told them that they lost the phone, or something. At this point, they've now been able to get almost everything possible about me.

Also interestingly, not once did Amazon recommend that I use 2FA to avoid social engineering. I was told by two different support reps to change my password though.
I'll give this a go.

Above all I think the most essential tool for me is Spectacle https://www.spectacleapp.com/

Homebrew is also a requirement.

Iterm2 to replace the default terminal. I also added this https://github.com/SebastienElet/iterm2-borderless.

Everything else is pretty developer specific in my opinion. I'd recommend Visual Studio Code for a text editor (if you don't already have a preference). It has built-in git integration and installing new plugins is trivial.
Not Amazon. Essentially every company. Your typical first tier support rep is paid perhaps $9-10 an hour, utterly hates their job, and has access to scary amounts of account information. It doesn't help that call center turnover rates are often so high that it isn't unusual for the median experience of reps to be 6 months, or less.

The bottom line really is that so far these kinds of social engineering attacks haven't been enough of a problem for companies to have the slightest economic incentive to improve the situation.

I don't get your response. You praise a manager that's like a servant and does all the blocking and tackling for you and all with a smile, but yet you want Zappos' flat organizational structure.

I know plenty of creators that don't want to spend their days blocking and tackling. Most "creators" just want to sit in front of their computers all day getting stuff done. With Holocracy those creators you talk about would assume more responsibilities and can no longer hide behind the servant.

Lastly, why are middle managers always seen in such a poor light? Why isn't a CEO/CFO/CIO seen in a lesser light since they really don't produce anything.
I think we need to define abstinence a bit more carefully. In most cases, it's meant as a temporary thing, not permanent virginity.

Teens: Don't have sex till later, you don't want babies yet.

Women in this country: Don't have sex till later, you don't want babies with birth defects.

Church: Don't have sex till later (marriage), you'll offend God

So what is the substantial difference between the socially accepted "don't have sex in the military, wait till you're out" and the quickly becoming socially unaccepted "don't have sex for this set period of time"? You just did it right here, characterizing it as a fight you can't win.

It seems... strange, to expect responsibility and prioritization of biological goals from people at some times and not others.

> But I do think coding and thinking through problems on paper is a valuable skill. One neat thing it allows you to do is to go to a different place than the one you type things at to go think deeply about problems, because it's a lot more portable than a laptop.

Drawing the problem is also useful because it focusses
different parts of your brain on the problem. If the problem was easy to solve with just the more linear textual parts, you probably could just have sat down and coded it.

But if that's not enough, engaging the visual and spacial parts can help you understand the solution without being able to verbalise it (ie code it) yet.

Ask HN: What are the best email-marketing tools besides mailchimp?
Context: I've been using Mailchimp for years, but it's starting to feel stale, overpriced, and underfeatured.

>>you must take for granted that the individual books of the Odyssey and the New Testament Gospels (as they exist in translation from Project Gutenberg) represent adequately the texts Auerbach was thinking about in the “Fortunata” chapter.

As someone who got a degree in liguistic textual analysis (specifically ancient Semitic languages, though I took 4 years of Ancient Greek as well) this presupposition bugs me, kudos to the author for at least including it, but he's putting an asterisk next to an entire field of study.
Translations are very tricky things and I cringe every time someone assumes that they must understand the original meaning of a text based off of one translation that they read.

What texts are usually the chief victims, you might ask? Take a wild guess!

I'm not sure why this seems surprising at all. In fact, it seems like exactly the intended result: the company is getting rid of managers. That doesn't say anything about how employees are faring in the new model.

This is like posting an article asking "why are so few people smoking in restaurants?" right after a no smoking rule was introduced in restaurants.

Unfortunately, I do think they will run into some adverse selection issues. The best employees are also the ones who can easily find a new replacement job and collect a free 3-month exit bonus. Not to mention that many top performers probably rose into management and are facing the possibility of a pay cut.
That fixed it for me, that was quick.
Sadly, that's a misconception about types that languages with poor type systems have caused many to have. There's nothing about pandas that shouldn't work in Haskell.

The issue with inverting the hierarchy is that it precludes centralized control. And that's what your managers are really about.

Their function vis-a-vis you is almost inconsequential. They exist so that those above them can direct and receive feedback from you (or more accurately, the 10s/100s/1000s of you) in an efficient manner. Whether you think that's necessary or not is up for debate, but examining the manager's role solely from the perspective of an employee is only half-informed.

Personally, having to individually convince every software engineer in a company of a particular course of action sounds about as much fun as counting grains of sand.
There is some truth to what Ginsberg asserts (i.e., administration could most certainly be leaner at a lot of places), but the notion that administrators are disconnected from "the pursuit of knowledge" is a bit weak in my view. A lot of the reason for the growth of Ginsberg's "administrative class" can be attributed to the growth of research programs at universities. Administrators are primarily there to worry about real-world issues that most faculty can't be bothered with in the cut-throat world of publish or perish. These include checking regulatory issues (i.e., establishing policies for IRBs and medical research), aiding in grant preparation, outreach efforts, and balancing academic freedom with legal issues. These are all things that faculty do not have expertise in, as PhD programs do not train them for these kinds of responsibilities. Frankly they shouldn't worry about these things- they're there to do research or teach, not draft a policy. You could argue that administrators might be overcompensated perhaps (especially at the upper-level), or that there might be too many of them, but their necessity as a distinct organ of the university is indisputable in my opinion. The halcyon pre-70s days when faculty could regulate a university on their own are gone (and it's questionable whether or not they ever did a particularly good job at this to begin with).

It’s possible that Ginsberg doesn’t really see this as much because he lives in the world of political science, which doesn’t require nearly as much support infrastructure since it is so theory-centric.

You also might want to take what Ginsberg says with a grain of salt for the very reason that he’s a tenured professor with a salary of around $157k a year (http://web.jhu.edu/administration/provost/docs/JHU%20Fact%20...) while most administrative positions (perfectly fireable at the first sign of economic trouble!) at JHU are in the $40k-$50k range (based on Glassdoor). He’s not quite the victim of brutal administrative oppression that he claims to be.
Buying the property through a Revocable Living Trust can make this harder (providing the name of your living trust doesn't contain your name, like most do!).

This article is not entirely accurate. VDP1 is perfectly capable of rendering half-transparent sprites on top of each other. It was somewhat problematic for 3D games as the drawing algorithm resulted in some overdraw depending on how the quad was warped and there was a pretty big performance penalty, but for 2D games neither seems like an issue. The problem is when you want to use VDP2 for more than just displaying the frame buffer that VDP1 writes to. VDP1 only supports half-transparent mode when drawing in 15-bit color, but VDP2 only supports per-pixel translucency in indexed mode. So you can either have sprites be translucent with respect to each other or translucent with respect to VDP2 background layers, but not both.

The best workaround is to just use VDP1 for everything. I'm not sure why you wouldn't in a cross-platform 2D game given that it would be most analogous to what you needed to do on the Playstation. It didn't have any dedicated hardware for backgrounds so you needed to use textured triangles for everything.

The OP copied only half my tweet, full title should be "...to minimize floating-point precision errors". This tool is specifically for improving the numerical accuracy of equations when translated into floating-point code-- "minimizing errors" makes no sense without the qualifiers.

I do a lot of procedural graphics on the GPU and am constantly plagued by precision issues (you cannot copy equations verbatim into code, you must observe overflow/underflow and other numerical issues). Herbie is pretty magical in that it can _automatically_ translate math expressions into a form that's friendlier for computers.

Also the reason why the GitHub site source was linked is because the website [1] crashed under traffic earlier today (full site contains an interactive solver and examples).

"UCSF charges Theranos more than $300 for a comprehensive metabolic panel, said a person familiar with the matter. Theranos’s website shows that patients who get the same test at one of the company’s blood-draw sites pay just $7.19. A comparison of all the tests done by UCSF for Theranos shows that the company appears to be incurring losses on many of those tests."

If correct, anyone have a legitimate rationale for Theranos doing this?

It absolutely is a bug! The app has decided that you're driving a car, which is false: you aren't. Because of this falsehood, it is reporting a different location from where you actually are, through no fault of GPS.

Interesting. I've worked with Akka heavily over the last 3 years and that was built borrowing many of Erlang's designs. I'm sort of suprised to see that the language was not built with the intent of implementing the actor model. Fault tolerance through supervision was introduced into the actor model here but the way that state can exist and is isolated for high concurrency systems makes the actor model very easy to build into and reason about in concurrent scenarios.

Akka's addition to the actor model - location transparency - takes the actor model a little further and coupled with Scala makes a really nice language and concurrency pairing. Akka has the actor model as a library added where Erlang has all of the qualities built into the language. I'd like to learn erlang still but the contribution of the Erlang/OTP team in building fault tolerance into the Actor model has been an incredibly important contribution. As highly concurrent applications are becoming the norm with multicore CPUs being everywhere, I can't see the actor model going away any time soon.
I would recommend strongly against that. You'd be far better off picking something plausible, so if someone does impersonate you it's obvious.

Remember it's a human verifying this. The attacker just needs to answer: "oh, yeah i just spammed the keyboard with some jibberish" and he's in.

The other thing I noticed by the attacker going after me, sometimes he'd call/contact the service multiple times in a row. All he needs to do is find out from 1 support rep that the reset password is randomly generated. Then tell another support rep that its "some jibberish" and he's in.

The birth rate in Brazil in 2015 was 14.46 births/1,000 population[1]. The twin rate is 8.8/1,000 births[2]. So, of 1,000,000 who got sick, roughly 14,300 were pregnant women[3], resulting in a 28% chance of microcephaly.

That still comes with a big asterisk since 80% cases of the disease in the general population are asymptomatic[4]. But(!) pregnant women are at increased risk for many diseases.
