For the full featured Yubikey I don't particularly mind the price — it does a lot.

Pure FIDO U2F keys (USB, but also NFC and Bluetooth LE) however I would very much like to see hitting a $5 or lower price point. It would enable services to introduce proper two factor authentication without breaking the bank. At the moment these keys are just a bit too expensive (Yubico's USB-only U2F key costs $18; slightly cheaper in bulk).
They can put it in a little nub outside of the connector like USB-A Wifi dongles [1] do. I don't care if it fits entirely in the USB port like the Nano, I just don't want it sticking out far enough that it'll get bent or damaged when I put my laptop in my bag.

I'm not sure if "crash" is the problem. Crashes happen in markets, it's part of the business cycle.

OP is discussing a 30+ year time horizon, though. I can think of a few potential things that would precipitate not just a crash, but a long-term economic malaise:

- Climate change
- Political/social unrest (extrapolate Brexit, Trump, etc)
- Mass unemployment caused by automation (you can't "retrain" 5MM 50yo truck drivers)
- Empire collapse (has happened with every single empire in history - what makes the U.S. exempt?)
- Nuclear exchange (tensions with Russia steadily increasing)
- Grey goo / UFAI (I know, crazy, but still, 30+ year time horizon)

While I'm sympathetic to the view that alarmist "the crash is coming" thinking is likely incorrect, whenever one discusses decades-long time horizon in an era of accelerating technology and political uncertainty, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that the VIX is not considering tail risk of unlikely, but highly impactful events.

This terminology comes from project management. An employee's work hours are finite. In an effort to estimate delivery dates and prioritize work, project management allocates 'resources' to work items the same way that hardware or funds are allocated; over-allocation should be a warning sign to competent management.

It's simply jargon in that particular field, that sometimes leaks into other workplace conversations.

Ev was right about social (micro-) blogging with Twitter and the VCs backing him did well as Twitter figured out how to monetize content. Ev says he's got wind of a similar opportunity in long form blogging. I'm not sure why we'd be surprised that VCs would back him strongly, even while they understand the monetization risk.

Anyone else around here that does not have a pension account?

On the basis that technology will have changed the economic system (for good or worse) in such fundamental ways so we either have greatly expanded life span, "free" handouts such as basic income, or major financial busts that have wiped out most pension savers.
Have they ever figured out compatibility with iOS? I feel like this is the biggest thing holding them back from broader adoption.
Knowing your customer lets you take shortcuts. For example, if you have a monorepo, you can do a code search to find all usages of a function and fix them, instead of going through a formal deprecation process.

There is a tension here between efficiency and privacy. Inside a corporation with an "open" culture, you can be a lot more transparent and efficient since you don't have the same privacy issues.

Open source projects can sometimes do similar things, for example with the Linux policy of having device drivers in-tree.
Everything's comparative, of course. Mozilla isn't a solo dev's weekend project, but it's also not a top 10 most valuable company in the world, like all of its competitors are.
> We'll want to know how many people see the link and how many click on it, because we (and our sponsors) want to know how well these links work.

That's an assumption not a fact. Presumably if I sponsor a blog I have an idea for the value of it. Ad networks on the other hand detach the publisher from the sponsor so that all the latter has to know the effect of their campaign is bulk data from surveillance. Direct sponsoring or good networks like the Deck on the other hand don't require that.
Unfortunately the majority of package managers are bloated and awful. Pacman/PKGBUILD and emerge/ebuilds are notable exceptions, though there is also Nix and many super simple based tarball systems that are also very good.

But all of that is irrelevant when 99% of the Linux world is running RPM/APT.
This also makes sense if you do not have access or have limited access to low cost funds (i.e. Vanguard) in your 401k/403b portfolio.
Is the premise even true? Do facebook, google or twitter ship more major features than traditional enterprise companies? That sounds off to me.

Even if it were true, it has less to do with talent than with organization. Legacy organizations typically have legacy customers on legacy contracts that dictate legacy development models. Just try to be agile or do continuous deployment with a typical government contract. It can't be done.
Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System
Hm, okay. Maybe I'm special, in a bad way? I don't know.

I never really got along with people that I was "forced" to be together with. School, University, Work. I mean, people liked to work with me and I'm mostly really polite and inclusive and all. But I didn't find many people I considered interesting at these places.

I got all my friends from meetups, online communities, parties, etc.
One problem with the Roth IRA is the income phase out limits. If you're single, if you AGI is >117K, you can only contribute some percentage of the $5000 allowed for the Roth. If you're >132K, you can't contribute anything. For a married couple, those limits are 184K/194K. Granted, you can reduce your AGI by contributing to a 401K first, which allows you to take $18K off the top.

I know this doesn't affect many, but for the high-paid tech crowd, these limits right around the point in your career where you want to be pumping in money.
yes, that somehow makes me feel better (rather than almost all passed but me), I guess in the media they all focus so much in the legendary Google interview that so few people pass, they forgot to mention the committee. My one bad taste of the experience was that one day (thankfully it could have been worse) I thought I had made it.
>If he's been doing serious road biking since that age it's probably not something that he's doing on regular streets.

Of course he rides on regular streets, he's French. Seeing an elderly woman riding to the shops or a group of lycra-clad pensioners attacking a mountain pass is perfectly normal there.

It is a peculiarly American belief that bicycles are somehow incompatible with motor vehicles. Cyclists need no special facilities, just sane traffic laws that are actively enforced.

As I love self-deprecation, I also love it when people second-guess me :) Thanks for the feedback, yes you are right actually. I want to provide better tooling so that it requires less development effort (and make it easier for less sophisticated devs to use) but I am wrong to lump in "business users" as you are absolutely right that it would be a distraction to entertain that demographic.
For self employed, it is even better. You can put up to 54,000 for 2017 [0]. If you are self employed and can afford to do this, do it. It usually splits in 2 parts:

- Employee portion: $18,000 that you can put as an employee.

- Employer portion: Up to 25% of W-2 wages.

The total of the 2 above cannot exceed 54K for 2017. One more thing, you can make contributions for employer portion until the calendar year end which is March. So even for 2016, you can still make the employer portion if you were enrolled in a self employed 401K. Another thing is that the employer portion can be shown as an expense of your business as well.

If you use Fidelity or Vanguard, stick most of it in an index fund and you have the S&P 500 returns by doing nothing.

I highly recommend any self employed to read this IRS publication.

The newer models support U2F, which is a challenge-response thing: the website prompts you to insert your YubiKey and tap it, and the key signs a response and sends it back to your browser.

I believe this adds protection against phishing because the browser communicates which origin (that is, which domain name) is sending the challenge, and that gets hashed into the signed response. So if trust-me-im-google.com proxies google.com, it can ask you for a one-time password, and the one-time password will be valid when google.com gets it, so the MITM can get your login cookie. But if you're using U2F, the signed response will say "Yes, I would like to authenticate to trust-me-im-google.com", and google.com will reject that.
Homekit is really interesting when stuff works with it (which is not a lot), and when you can use your voice with it (which is limited).

If Apple could really get more people onboard with Homekit and build standalone Siri devices it could be in the pole position here, but Apple doesn't seem to get what it has with either Homekit or Siri.

Homekit makes it really easy to set up different scenes with different smart devices and interactions. Setting these up requires good user interfaces beyond voice. Apple gets this.

Unfortunately, Homekit is really limited right now.

> It is not an entitlement, it's your money

That's not how social security works. Every dollar you pay in flies out to fund promises made in years past. "Your" social security money needs to be earned by our children.
If you can't make money from it, then it's not an absurd conclusion at all.

Of course, it means one needs a day job, but such is life.
If your employer 401k plan allows it, you can roll over after-tax 401k contributions to a Roth IRA (a.k.a. mega-backdoor Roth IRA).

I've had a YubiKey on my keychain for over a year and a half and it's held up very well. It looks quite beat up due to being in my pocket, rubbing on other keys, and so on but it works perfectly.

Zuckerberg isn't dynamic enough or even enough of a character (think Trump) to rally up enough people to win an election.

He would get a great deal of votes for sure.

But among other things, lack of the wow factor, and well this was one of Hillary's drawbacks. Ditto for Mitt Romney.

The main thing he has going for him is name recognition (a big factor for sure and honestly the only reason anyone would take him seriously as a candidate).

And despite what anyone thinks of Trump he did have a great deal of life experiences with a wide range of people (of all types) in multiple businesses vs. Zuckerberg who essentially went from dropping out of college to Facebook. As such I am not sure of his innate decision making ability given that most of the things he has accomplished have been done with handholding of the people around him.
I vouched for this because I believe it is a relevant contribution that falls within community guidelines, even if applying such theories in hiring decisions may open one to legal liability.

Sure, but most or all ads on every page visited by a given IPV4 address surely throws up red flags, NAT notwithstanding. And all this is assuming that the extension bypasses session tracking and makes resorting to IP address necessary in the first place.

Then again maybe it doesn't, since they bothered to ban this extension. They did seemingly more-or-less give up trying to sort spam search results from low-traffic but high-value sites a few years back, so I guess they can't algorithm their way out of every abuse problem.

[EDIT] all ads on some pages visited by a given IP over some shortish span of time, I should say, in the case of NAT.

No, that's not true. I have several non-store extensions installed (mostly stuff I wrote myself) on the exact same configuration, and I have never experienced this behavior. Chrome will remind me on browser startup that I have dev mode extensions installed, but won't do anything to them unless I click the "disable" button on the popup.
This, unfortunately, is the entrepreneurial version of the "second system syndrome": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect

The pattern: an entrepreneur achieves some level of fame/fortune.

Then, they overcapitalize their next company (to various degrees) from high-expectation investors. Next, they are reminded how fricking HARD startups are, and how much LUCK was really involved in their first success.

Some compound the pain by presuming the second will go like the first, and they run things fat and expensive from the start: high headcount, expensive office, high salaries, over the top perks, etc. And then when reality hits, the "corporate lifestyle downgrade" is especially painful.

(I'm speaking from hard-learned personal experience, and I see this pattern over and over...)
I have had a yubikey neo on my keychain for almost 4 years now. It is thin plastic and seemed like it might not hold up this long, but it has been going strong. I think they have changed designs to make it smaller since (which would be stronger). They do make solid products.

That said, I would rather use Google Authenticate (TOTP) for two factor. Getting my phone out is a regular thing. Getting the yubikey out and plugging it in seems more of a hassle. Passpack is the only thing I have to use the yubikey for -- would be happy if they provided TOTP. Spending $40 for two factor these days is kind of ridiculous.
The only crypto that has transitioned from GPU to ASIC is bitcoin, but that comes after many years of GPU-based mining operations. Regarding the rest of cryptos, the vast majority is still being mined with GPUs, including Ethereum.

Usually predicability vs unpredicatability maps to zero- versus non-zero-sum games.

In a purely competitive (zero-sum) game, the equilibrium strategies are randomized ones which deny the opponent any exploitable openings. But you get much more interesting structures in non-zero-sum games, where both players have an incentive to coordinate with each other.

War and fighter combat is quintessential zero-sum games, but one would hope that business is win-win.
See koolba's comment:

>Companies auto enroll people into 401(k) programs because of participation requirements. For "highly paid employees" (i.e. executives) to be allowed to contribute to a 401(k), there requires a minimum level of participation from the rest of the workforce at the company.
I'm skeptical for Medium in particular. As a reader, their only advantage over other platforms is a clean, well-structured reading environment. I'd be very displeased if they did anything to damage that.
Higher resolution and higher refresh rates are still needed for VR. VR requires both a relatively high refresh rate (90Hz) and pretty high resolutions (current generation devices are 2160x1200). I believe that uses most of the bandwidth of HDMI 1.3, I'm not sure if any headsets use HDMI 2.0 yet.

And if you've tried VR, we're still at the point where pixels are obvious and higher densities would be an improvement. The usual comment I get when friends try my Vive is that it looks like an N64.
The ROI on future social security payments for most tech workers is already ~0%, so inflated dollars would be an improvement on that.

>Racketeering idea would potentially apply here - you're making the company pay to get rid of problem (meaningless clicks) which wouldn't exist if you didn't run the extension.

As I understand it, racketeering requires that a company is offering a (paid) solution to a problem they are responsible for - so it'd be racketeering if the makers of the extension sold a product to detect and filter out the fake clicks, for example.
Yes but Republicans do everything they can to avoid government doing anything; or make it work badly on purpose whenever they can't prevent it, because government that works better than the free market is incompatible with their narrative that the government sucks and can't do anything right except blow people up on the other side of the world.
I would not describe the moves dfan is talking about as tactical. Rather, they appear to exhibit a very different positional judgment from what humans use/different strategic aims.

What you say sounds plausible, but I do not believe it is backed up by any analysis of the games.
Thanks! Yeah, it's easier than ever to get started, and easier than ever to sell your work online, so now's a great time to get involved.

NFC? AIUI, they can't support it until Apple does.
Google deserves shit for using market power to stop the purchasers of personal devices from running software of their choice.

If the user does something with their device Google dislikes, Google can block the user from using Google services, or if they're doing something illegal, they can go that route.

This habit of retroactively removing functionality from devices is not OK. If Google relies on a business model other people hate, perhaps they should give some thought in to doing something about that.
Thinking even more about it, many changes are "cosmetic", such as renaming fields or restructuring essentially flat structures. These may make the system more consistent and easier to understand for newcomers, but break old code for "no reason".

So developers should develop some kind of taste to distinguish between "real" changes and "cosmetic" changes.
I really love seeing new folks get on board with Servo itself, but there's something else that's equally important: the Cargo ecosystem. Servo is built with Cargo and incorporates a lot of code from the Rust community. Likewise, we try to make our standalone Servo pieces available as Cargo packages on crates.io when we can. We take code from the broader Rust community and give back in turn.

In this way, even folks who have no intention of hacking on Servo can effectively end up contributing to the project. And, by the same token, we also in effect contribute to lots of projects in the Rust community.
Without actual numbers of the revenue being giving up, I feel making this sort of claims aren't worth a lot.

I'm not sure computer glasses and the glasses you got are the same.

IIRC, computer glasses have a yellowish-amber tint to them, and possibly some coatings.

Like you, I got single vision glasses for computer use, but they don't have the tinting/coatings that computer glasses do.

I run a pair of 4K 27" monitors at 100% scaling (people who see my setup think I'm crazy), but I had my optometrist get me set up for a reading distance of 21" to 27" -- the closest and furthest points of my monitors -- for my glasses. My single vision prescription includes distance + adjustment for presbyopia, so it's great.
Not sure why you decided to create a throwaway, but it's a valid question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Marchand_(cyclist)

Aged 35 he finished seventh in the Grand Prix des Nations in 1946.[3] He returned to cycling in 1978[2] and continued training after his 100th birthday.

My point is that the guy has very clearly been training and seriously cycling for a long time. While you can do it on normal city streets, you are often served better to do that on dedicated bike paths or on the open road.

You can reduce the impact of cars all you want and even make your city bike friendly but that's not going to change your ability to really train. It's not crazy to think that his health benefits are from this elevated level of training and not just leisurely cycling.

That's very cool. Could you elaborate on the method in which the key accepts the challenge? I was under the impression that a Yubikey only acted as a USB keyboard - which ensured it's security by isolation.
> They'd qualify but I'm pretty sure when the law was first written it didn't have them in mind. It was specifically to prevent top level executives or business owners (>=5% of company) from creating 401k plans for only themselves.

Even if that was the rhetoric used when creating the rule, I'd be very skeptical of assuming that was the case, rather than it being motivated by a desire to increase tax revenue, as a lot of these tax rules are designed to do. $115,000 is a really low threshold to use to define "executive" - many blue-collar workers make far more than that.

(And furthermore, the rule still does not prohibit highly-compensated employees from contributing; it just requires them to pay taxes on the excess of the permitted amount.)
Challenge accepted, I'm 34 though :) I really hope I'll have his mental and physical abilities at least.
