That was many years ago. It doesn't actually work anymore.

"gaming" is also a strong word. It was more like "Get 5 upvotes to hit the bottom of the frontpage, then if content is good enough it floats up, if it's not it doesn't"

The trick was that I was reliably able to guess the taste du jour of the HN crowd.
It's always relative. On my UK salary I would starve in SF. In Poland, where I am from, I could afford to buy or build a house in few years, outright, without a mortgage. But where I am now, I can maybe apply for mortgage in couple years time then pay it off in 15-20 years.

Does that mean I should move? If yes, then surely, the answer would be to move to the "poorer" country if I could maintain the same salary as I have now, since my standard of living would be a lot higher than it is now.

But with 24k in Slovenia you save maybe 1k/year. With 125k in the Valley, you can save 10k/year.

Hi Dhruv, thanks for being available to answer some questions. Do you think that someone from a design background with some JS experience is able to do this course?
Go to VOIP.ms set up a number for $1/mo. So 12/year. Have it forward to your number. Use it for verification as well. It supports SMS, though I have found some services won't allow it.
Scala does have sum types up to generic type erasure; see "sealed trait". (At which point you might want to reevaluate your strategy, so no big loss.)

Steam does this as well. Even if you add your phone number after a lot of nagging, Steam still keeps bothering you to install their Android or IOS authenticator software (even if you can't). I wish Steam would consider Fido U2F as well, but getting through to anyone who can influence this at Valve is nigh impossible.

It seems to be the industry status quo now to assume that everyone uses a smartphone running either Android or IOS, and that everyone wants to use that device for authentication. Meanwhile the tech giants (especially those involved in advertising) probably like having that nice unique alphanumerical identifier for your profile — it tends to be the same for all services you use.

I really hope Fido U2F becomes a de facto alternative for 2FA.

I don't know what control means to you. You mean stuff that you don't have to pay for? Stuff that can't be taken away from you? I have had the same number with VOIP.ms for 5 years. Even used it from Mexico. It does not seem to me to be out of my control.
> Imagine what's military-grade and secret right now.

I don't think this rule of thumb for technological advancement has held true since the Cold War. Whatever nanobots are military grade and secret are likely shitty prototypes that have cost billions over what was expected.

That wouldn't work if the infectious stage of contamination comes before any obvious symptoms present themselves. Certainly in the case of colds and influenza the symptoms that make you look/feel unwell come days after you've been passing it to other people.

I do not have a mobile phone, and have run into countless issues with so-called security systems which demand a mobile number, everything from airports to online services like Twitter. It's amazing how many services become unavailable when you have no phone number to provide.

1TB 2.5" HDD? You need to compare the sweet spot for SSD and HDD ( 3.5" ). And HDD easily outpace SSD, and 10x is only a generalization, in fact given the price of SSD is rising and HDD is slowing dropping, the sweet spot between the two is actually edging close to 20x soon.
Closest you can get is sending DBUS commands to oFono or FSO. Should be easy to write a command-line wrapper for those though.
This is exactly right that X means "close" or "hide this thing" and this is what it does in this case as well: it removes the non-default setting and hides the list item.

Control means i own it. You never own telephone numbers, maybe you do in some countries i dont know, but they usual contract is that you rent them and they can be taken away from you anytime. Sure they usually dont, but building a security system on something like that is obviously suboptimal.
Oh look the century of self is coming to an end. The propaganda machine does not work as it used to. And amateur players are utilizing propaganda techniques through fake news. It's not surprising. And all of these parties are sociopathic in their dealings with people, not the best way to establish and continue trust.

> Rebuilding trust is a shared responsibility. Each institution must find its own ways to address societal concerns by working to improve the long-term economic and social conditions of communities; by creating public forums that educate about and advocate for policies; and by directly communicating the benefits of economic growth that is driven by industry.

You mean like doing a Youtube video created by a leading P/R firm which shows what the company is doing for its community (tm)? No one buys that.

I like the fact that the site includes all killed people. With 20% civilian casualties rate, the recent announcement of 50000 killed people in Syria/Iraq means US may have directly killed 10000 civilians in just the last two years there. https://airwars.org/ reports a lower number though. But theirs is a very conservative estimate.

I wonder when will this escalation stop.

I dunno how much it has evolved, but Google got started by weighting search results based on how many other pages linked to that page. More links and your pages was found closer to the top of the results page.

So a easy way to game that was to set up "link farms" that pointed to each other, but not really offering anything worthwhile except a bunch of words people were likely to search for.

Desktop authentication programs are no better. Authy has a terrible interface, which didn't tell me I should actually create an account to have my authentications synced. I had to use my email and password, so I thought I did have an account, but I did not. This caused me to lose authentication for various programs that luckily I was able to get back.

>And to make it worse, finding malware on a Android phone is way harder than noticing something is off on a desktop.

Thats if you notice. Plenty of malware is not going to be noticable if its programmed to actually steal something from you.

Phone numbers aren't a perfect way to verify things, but that is why you have both mobile authentication, and/or numbers. Many people still do not use smartphones, and even if they do, you can drop it or have it die in thousands of ways that will make the data unrecoverable. Phone numbers, largely, are not going to change for people.
In 2008 I moved to Japan from The Netherlands for a year as a graduate student. I didn't want to bother with my Dutch phone number there, so I looked for alternatives. My bank uses one time codes that are normally sent to you via SMS when you perform a transaction. These can also be pregenerated and sent to you via mail. The online banking environment simply asks me to enter code number x.

I never changed back, so now I receive a new sheet of numbered codes whenever I've used a certain number of them. Nowadays I scan this sheet of codes, run an OCR task, and import the codes in my password manager¹. So when the bank asks for code 519:

pass -c bank/ing/tan/519

And I have the code on my clipboard.

I wonder how long ING (my bank) will allow this method to exist… The alternative used by Dutch banks is a small token generating device they provide to all customers (I think only ING mentioned above doesn't do this yet). This requires no phone number either, just the (tiny) physical device.

I wonder what happens if I tell my bank that I no longer have a phone number I can be reached at?

A couple of years back I saw president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran on TV talking to a group of people in Tehran. He just stood on the top of a car with a megaphone and a big crowd of people surrounded him. Sure there were a few bodyguards, but you if you wanted you could pretty much tap him on the shoulder. Now I don't want to overestimate the merits of Iranian democracy, but I was kind of impressed by this.

Compare this with the leaders of the Western world. If there's a summit, the city gets under siege as if it's a Hollywood production. People are not allowed to stand on their balcony. If you get within half a mile of Obama, a sniper will put a bullet through your head. There is just something wrong about this ritual of self-importance. Seriously, aside from personal tragedy, what does it matter if some terrorist kills Obama? We just replace him with the next guy in a suit and tie, and the following day it would be the exact same politics. The system runs itself and no longer depends on the individuality of the persons in the top position. In that sense it reminds me of Europe in 1914 where the diplomatic system overruled the kings and presidents. It may be one of the deeper reasons for Trump's election -- people wanting somebody who can shake the tree.
Why the downvote? This is extremely relevant. There is no 100% security, there is no reason to store sensitive information (even "encrypted").

Had this been a session token the problem would have been less severe (session tokens won't be reused on the user's Gmail account for instance), easier to detect, and easier to mitigate once discovered.

This so much. And you can probably dont even remember which services they are bound to. The service now probably sends "you" a SMS and the people realize they have access to something they should not have to. Just crazy IMO.

I rant about this for a while now, and many people say stuff like "you can just take your phone number with you". Its on par for me with "I have nothing to hide, why would i worry". Its just short sight and projecting personal use on the world.
I've got an odd issue with a Google mail account. That has no email or phone number associated with it. On my main laptop, I can access the account with username and password, on another computer, I'm locked out - because of security checks. The credentials don't matter. Which really bothers me. I'm effectively locked out the account.

I don't really care for a telephone either.
It seems that blns.txt is the source content, then it's converted to blns.json, blns.base64.txt and blns.base64.json with the two scripts in the scripts folder (These resulting files shouldn't be in the repo in my opinion). One cannot possibly add strings with newlines in them, unless with some newline escaping that are handled in the scripts. It's a bad idea IMO and the source content should be the json file and blns.txt should be dropped.

The point is to slow down attacks. The point is not that it's fool proof. I always see 2FA as not a way to secure your account. More like a way to mitigate illegitimate attacks from 3rd parties and script kiddies. So they can't get in to 100s if not thousands of accounts all of the sudden.

This is certainly beautiful! And fascinating!

But be careful about drawing metaphysical conclusions from this. This is only an example of selection bias. Take random noise, filter it and select examples that probably look animal-like to humans. If the classification algorithm is worth its salt, the selected images are bound to look interesting.

A comparison could be made to the Rorschach test; if the patient finds clear images in the ink blot, that is supposed to say something about the patient, not the image, because the image is by construction random.

Both can be true. Database development, both the way they're built and the way people use them, has been focused on scaling across machines and storage for most of the history of the web; it's possible it'll never quite catch up with CPU, but it will continue to move that way. I don't know what the next evolution of databases looks like (I'm definitely not a database expert), but if Google and facebook and Amazon and Microsoft and many others need it to scale beyond what is currently possible to keep up with CPU parallelization, they'll figure out how to make it scale.
> You're generally not supposed to change the original titles of the pages you submit on HN.

Adding clarifying information, exactly as the moderators did in this case, is surely not forbidden or discouraged in such cases where there is zero context. With today's silly naming trends, the title "eLucy" might as well be an announcement of a new programming language or a Silicon Valley on-demand cleaning (and/or escort) service.

> I think generally it's an improvement over the clickbait people tend to submit when given free reign.

As the original titles are very often clickbait, I don't think you have a point. I'm not advocating for "free reign", but I am advocating for putting individual words that save you a click into the title. For example, we regularly get articles of the form "The X that did Y" that would always be better as "<the name of the thing>: The X that did Y".
I have a mobile phone number, but it's VoIP and can't receive SMS. That excludes me from many types of services that absolutely want to send an SMS.

Extra bonus, I moved out of my country of origin a few years ago. The Visa card I have from a bank in my country of origin needs 2FA to be used to purchase things on the net. The second factor is a code sent by SMS. Even if I had a phone number that can receive a SMS, the bank won't let me change the configured phone number because they can only accept a phone number in my country of origin. IOW, I barely can use that card.

Same. I also use paper tan right now and one bank account which i have to call if i want something (which i dont care much about, because its not ment to be accessed anyway) but yeah its just a question of time the bank does not send out TANs anymore.

My bank (or both of them) had no solution when i told them that i dont plan on having a phone number anymore. The one accepted it that they cant call me and send paper TANs, the other did not do paper tans for a few years now.

Btw: Your solution to store them sounds nice. Probably gonna adapt that

You are not being proffesional then. You demand time of others to do your work, because, hej, you do your best, right ? Your managers decided to leave you out on arch decisions so you think all managers are like that. You extrapolate your slow and unworthy experience to everybody else.

The point is, there are almost no single time events in enterprise. Everything you do, somebody will have to do again, tomorrow, a few days from now, or a year later. So, if you do the things your way, others will have to repeat what you did (or you, or worse, somebody new who knows nothing about it but could get your script with simple Redmine search along with some 'historical records' - read the TMMM and see how communication/tutoring is important - feel free to watch Galaxy Quest later) and that is not a nice thing to do in a company - you are wasting our time, resources, customers etc., on the long run: https://xkcd.com/974/

You can do whatever the fuck you want in the company of your grandpa, but its about time you sysadmins understand that good sysadmining means understanding the code concepts and development tools, and ability to script in the middle of the night. Nobody will ever ask you to write Gherkin tests, Performanse test, unit tests, integration tests, to know OO patterns etc... But in my team I will demand you know how to write 50-100 line scripts. If you can't do that, then you are emberresment for your proffession.

Good time to quote Jeffrey Snover: "GUI-only, Click-Next, no-value-add Admins will be replaced with a new type of Admin - the kind that greet you the lobby".

When you start to experience this paradigm shift, you will soon find yourself thinking about how did you live before that, and maybe even buy me a beer for letting you know that you can improve.
