It depends. SMS is better than nothing as a second factor, but SMS has a weird way of worming its way into single-factor status. I think people should avoid SMS 2FA, and should be skeptical of the security of companies that offer only SMS and neither of TOTP or U2F.

Hats off to you for thinking up a really clever way to get and offer something of value to people who are super price-sensitive.
The conclusion mentioned some interesting truisms about prototyping, team-size-induced-complexity and "long bugs" vs "short bugs". Good stuff. If the PDF was not a collection of images of the text, i'd have copy-pasted that bit here. :)
Perhaps, the sail could modulate the reflected beam? That way, all of the heavy communications gear can stay in our own solar system.

Instead of trying to stop at the destination, you could instead send a stream of these tiny expendable probes past the target. Each one would get, say, a microsecond to take a snapshot, and then it would spend the short remainder of its life relaying the raw data.

To do a chemical analysis, some probes could be sent on relativistic collision course with the subject planet, and other probes could watch the impact. It would be a scale-up of NASA's Deep Impact mission from 2005.
I'm sorry, cross state. I was attempting to point out exactly how shit the current internet speeds were, although I could've been clearer.
Are you saying that I, as someone who needs a place to stay, am more likely to give a 5-star rating to a slum so that if I ever apply to stay with a superhost, they'll look at my rating history and be more likely to approve me?
I feel similarly.

Where I'm working at the moment, apart from the noise and distraction of an overcrowded open plan office, there are people in my face literally all the time due to meetings, questions, pairing, dealing with outages, and other miscellaneous interruptions. As an introvert this all becomes seriously draining so home is very much my escape.

I don't think I'm alone in this either - plenty of introverts in software, and I certainly didn't choose software as a career so I could sit around yakking to people all day. Quite the opposite in fact. (I may have made this observation in a comment on HN before, so apologies to anyone who may already have read it.)

The real downside of all this is that I often don't want to socialise with my friends or talk to my family outside of work because I'm basically peopled out and need some peace and quiet.

Add to this the fact that the work is boring and the commute is a gruelling 2.5 hour motorcycle roundtrip (>4 hours by car, due to traffic, or about 5 hours by public transport) and it's probably high time for me to find other work.
A SAMBA share would be a better option there.

Would you also feel that a strict-by-default language which adds support for lazyness is a tacit admission that strict-by-default is wrong?
I did exactly the same in 2005. I even wrote my own init scripts, so I really understood a lot what's going on at startup time. Linux was quite simple at that time. I could write my own init, if I wanted. Unfortunately now this knowledge is obsolete. Systemd is a complex beast which uses a lot of arcane techniques, I'm hardly understanding it. chroot was a really simple concept, but nowadays people use containers, and they are much more complex than chroot. Logging is complicated. In the past I could try to load and then mount partition from livecd or another OS and read logs, now I don't know how to do it. Init scripts were simple bash scripts. They were verbose, may be buggy, but after all they were just bash scripts and every Linux user knows bash, so every Linux user could write or modify init script. Now systemd uses its own format, I'm spending hours every time I need to write new service or timer for RedHat. SELinux is just so complex. I know about UNIX permissions. They are so simple and elegant. I'm using them everywhere, when I need security. I could explain them in 2 minutes. SELinux has books. I have those books in bookmarks, may be I'll read them sometimes. But until then, I just use copy-pasta from internets to solve my tasks, like allow ssh to listen at non-standard port. I don't think that it's good, that I have to run some random strings on my computer from root without fully understanding what they are doing. SELinux has binary compiled configurations and some encrypted logs for tools to decipher them, what a mess! Sometimes I just disable it to get things done.

Don't get me wrong. I think that Linux looks more professional, more robust, especially for system administrators, who can devote their lives to learn about those systems. But for hobbyists, who doesn't have a lot of time, Linux became much less transparent.

May be if I didn't have that prior knowledge, it would be easier to learn those things from scratch. But I doubt it.
Modulate reflections of the light-sail propulsion beam?
It's always been a "telephone app", on smart phones. And in many cases, it's already been somewhat "3rd party" because in reality it's from the ODM who made your phone or the SOC vendor, not the company that branded your phone. The author is only just becoming aware that this is "3P" because he happens to have a branded dialer added on his phone, versus a "white label" dialer that was already there.

I'm fairly certain Wileyfox didn't make the dialer that previously came with his phone, either. (They're a smaller OEM.) They probably just used the one provided by the ODM assembling the device for them.

I'm glad they're making inroads here, cause gesture and pose calculation and tracking is awesome.

But.. it also seems like more usage of black-box magic math of Neural Networking. I'm glad it gets results and all, but it just seems.. inelegant. What's the algo really doing underneath? Did the algo figure out the joints and their ranges of freedom?

The results are spectacular, indeed. But it also seems a bit not like science. It seems more like an oracle system was able to deduce the results - and we're nowhere near closer to understanding how to do this. Just, we have a trained system that can.

You mean the thing they were running, which updated to include the 3rd party dialer app against their wishes?
They balk because there's usually only one major version of a package that's still receiving security updates upstream.

Thus, a package being able to depend on an old version of another package, is basically morally equivalent to depending on an unmaintained package. Which, if the packge author is gonna do that, they might as well just vendor the dependency.

The "version numbers in package names" thing is basically to indicate exceptions to this: cases where there are secondary living packages, with either upstream-tracking or distro-backported security updates.

Ideally, there'd be a way to do the same thing just using pure semver heuristics—but any major-version release-stream can just peter out at any time and dependent packages will be none the wiser. So you sort of need your package manager's notion of a package's major-version release streams to be something equivalent to their own "packages" anyway, so that you can have somewhere to put package-alike metadata, e.g. "depending on this is deprecated", when the release-stream for said version gets EOLed upstream.

Accelerating Machine Learning with GPUs and DC/OS 1.9 – Mesosphere
This jibes with my experience. Having a tasty drink and getting a light buzz (a beer or two) is still enjoyable/appealing when I'm high, but getting smashed isn't, least of all getting smashed on the beers mentioned in the article. And when fewer of your friends are ever looking to drink heavily, the old norm of "let's all get together and have 3 - 5 drinks" starts to go away. Add the fact that bars have become completely besides the point for meeting attractive people (Tinder) and new forms of highly immersive entertainment, and I'm surprised the trend isn't more dramatic.
Have you tried to implement visual algorithms? Especially those prior to the prevalence of GPU-based neural networks?

He's actually writing about the dialer that comes with the device OS (in this case an OTA, I believe, but still, it's the default / 1P dialer. It just happens to be a branded one rather than the "usual" white label dialer a smaller OEM might provide.

I'm not going to speculate on whether this is good or bad, but it's not exactly as simple as trading one buzz for another.

Many drink alcohol because they enjoy the taste of what they're consuming, plus any other positive associated feelings of consuming any beverage. Drinking alcohol is embedded deeply into human social behavior and in many cultures goes hand in hand with eating and other social activities. In fact, in many contexts, the fact that alcohol induces drunkenness is more of a liability than a benefit for many people.
The thing that did that IS a system component. They can't remove it. They can only disable it.
Particles don't create a medium, they're constructed out of perturbations in a medium, eg fields. Your paraphrase in quotes isn't anything like what I actually said in my post -- you dropped key words from it.

What I actually said, and you misunderstood: "the medium they're creating the signal in". Your paraphrase is so far from that, I have trouble even addressing the confusion. It's particularly egregious that you omitted key words when you're clearly using them to make passive aggressive comments about my understanding.

The answer to how this addresses the question is that the medium is experiential -- anything that creates effects in it is 'experiencing'. Experiencing seeing blue corresponds to a particular pattern of activity in the medium. (Though, there is no default 'experience of seeing blue' -- it's possible that we experience different ones, different animals have different ones, etc. This relates back to the computational structure.)

How entanglement is involved is that there's a single 'unified' experience when we know that different portions are generated in different brain regions, but don't (obviously) converge the information to a point (eg, it's always spread at least in a cluster of neurons), which suggests that we're talking about something non-localized in the medium, ie, not a point object.

The source of a lot of non-locality is through entanglement, so it's reasonable to conjecture that it's involved here, as well -- though, of course, it could be a different mechanism.

If the pieces of your brain which are generating the perturbation in the experiential medium(s) are entangled, it could provide a model of how it's carrying a non-localized piece of information -- your experience.

When I updated it at the weekend, I too noticed that the dialer had gone - which is annoying as I find the interface to Truecaller a bit of a pain - but as I rarely make calls it's something I can live with. The incoming call filtering and showing of names not in my phonebook is actually pretty useful.

When I bought my Wileyfox Swift 18 months ago it came with Truecaller as an app already installed, and it integrated with the standard dialer well - ie I could use the dialer app to make calls, and incoming calls would show info from Trucaller. Not sure why they couldn't keep it like that.

Yes, not to mention that you can enroll more than one TOTP authenticator. There are legit complaints about Google Authenticator (foremost among them that it's a nightmare when you have more than 4-5 accounts), but "no backups" isn't one of them. Don't back up TOTP secrets.
Depends on how balanced those other meals are. There are some nutrients in there that are not in every ordinary meal, like methylfolate. You could think of soylent as a weak multivitamin plus macronutrients. In an early report a tester talked about a fantastic energy boost, and I'd wager he was deficient in one of the nutrients soylent contains. In the case of methylfolate, it's actually better than most multivitamins which only contain folic acid, which is harder to metabolize (especially if you have a MTHFR mutation).

Mobile App Development Company
I mostly use data-only SIMs on my phone and make/receive the very few calls I need to via VOIP, which is almost certainly the near future.

For instance in Myanmar, where they have only had widespread mobile phone service for a couple of years, the most popular phone plans from Oodooroo are sold as data-only, and include info for downloading a VOIP app for legacy calls. I had an amusing time in one of their stores watching a perplexed staff try to deal with an older foreign man who frustratingly demanded to know how much he would need to pay for 100 "minutes". They just keept referring him to the chart that showed plans ranked only by the number of GBs.

The more i find out about systemd and surrounding projects, the more i feel they should stop branding anything using it as Linux.

Since most of the text you linked is describing a specific painting, it seems to me that the most relevant quote from it is the following: "Fettered monkeys, like this one, are traditionally used to symbolize man entrapped by earthly and sensual desires."

Which is along the lines with what I wrote as well: "Desire is a dominant theme in these works... these paintings are working through the idea that newly-available psychoactive substances -- and, perhaps, material objects as well -- could dehumanize those who consumed them, reducing them to an animalistic level. Such consumers, it is implied, had moved down a step on the chain of being, having lost their powers of reason and been reduced to creatures that were 'sentient' in the original sense of the word: unable to think, and content simply to feel."

What I was trying to point out is that this specific sub-genre of images were reflecting new ideas about addiction (since the substances they're consuming were new to most 17th century consumers) in addition to the more general association of monkeys with sensuality/desire in early modern art, and the desire to use silly animals to satirize. I don't think its snarky at all to point out that the latter is an existing interpretation, but it's one that I was aware of when writing.

The reason why the topic matters to me is that I've lately become interested in the invention of the modern concept of addiction and the way we as a society grapple with it, which I think has some real world implications in terms of the legal system and in anticipating potential societal problems in the future, like the dopamine hits we all seem to get from things like Candy Crush (or being on the front page of HN).

You have to accept that your lifestyle is going to change. It really kicked in with me when my kids started school, the evenings became shorter and now with them as teenagers there is basically no time between them going to bed and me turning in.

I cut down my workload dramatically to spend more time with them and I don't regret it for a minute, they grow up so fast. I look at pictures only taken a couple of years ago and the change in them is vast.

You might look to commute less but working at home just didn't work for me, kids get home at 3:30pm and forget trying to concentrate after that. I can still find time in the mornings before they get up at 7:30 if I need it.
