1) "practically nobody is doing that" - TOTP.

The "tech bubble" is not an insignificant number of people.

2) "barely supported by anyone" - U2F.

If you look at the link I posted there are a number of services with extremely large user bases that are supporting it.
Shameless plug: I used a "slide rule" style UI for the Ohm's Law calculator on Perfboard (iOS app).

More specifically, I allow the user to slide logarithmically marked rules for two of the variables (and the calculator finds the third). Besides mapping well to Ohm's law and the way resistors are used in hobbyist electronics, I thought it was a fun way to explore various values for resistors, voltages, etc. More interactive than the "enter in two values get a third" text-field approach (although you can do that too if you want more precision).

Do you mean can you copy from the scrollback buffer switch to a new session and paste the results? If so then the answer is yes. Ctrl-Escape to enter, scroll up and find the string, space to start highlighting, then space to stop highlighting and you have copied it into the buffer. Then ctrl-[ to paste wherever.
> Major compilers (LLVM, GCC, Intel) are able to vectorize real world code to a useful extent.

Try compiling this with recent gcc:

uint8_t dumb_checksum(uint8_t *ar) {
uint8_t ans = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 320; i++) ans += ar[i];
return ans;

You don't get satisfactory results. I, at least, don't have a clear mental model of when gcc will do something reasonable and when it will generate a large amount of bad code.
I have no idea what on earth Tesla is trying to argue here.

"Among other things, it compares Model S and X to cars that are not remotely peers, including even a Volvo station wagon"

Okay? I don't see how any of that is relevant. Insurance prices should be based on risk, and risk is probability times severity.
The decline of established American retailing threatens jobs
Lets see if I can replicate his mental math. Assuming a lot of spherical cows. A Zeppelin weighs like 200 tons and is about 10 million cubic feet of gas. I did cheat and look that up, everything else, including all the following mistakes, was messed up in my own head. 10 KT of TNT is 10e3/0.2e3 or 50 Zeppelins of gas when it goes boom aka 50 * 10 M cu ft = 500 million cu feet of gas.

So my theory is ten miles out the difference in volume between 10 miles and 10 miles+2.5 meters is half a billion cu ft. Now it doesn't expand the dirt so the sphere result is 1.25 meters or 4 feet or assuming about 5000 feet per mile we're talking a thousandth of a mile.

So my adjusted "done in my head" is at 10 miles, half a billion cu ft is the difference between 10 miles and 10.001 miles. At 5000 feet per mile 10 miles is about 50000 feet.

So if V = 4/3 pi r cubed, the derivative is 4 pi r squared, huh where have I seen that before, so at ten miles worth of feet radius, the volume slope is about 4 pi 50k squared or what twelve times 2.5 million? Or 25 million cubic feet of air slope at 10 miles per foot of blast front expansion?

So my blast front of 10 kilotons or 50 Zeppelins worth of gas should result in a shift of a good 20 feet but the dude reports 2.5 meters which is about 10 feet.

That would imply to me that he measured a good 5 kilotons of air displacement.

There's a heck of a lot of "round to one sig fig" and "spherical cows" and room temperature TNT explosions and foolishness like that so he probably gave himself a factor of two to handle that and I think that's a realistic way to do in your head what he did.

The atmosphere is not a perfectly linear gas, its not constant pressure with height, blah blah.

Of course what he probably actually did, since this project was kinda his day job, he likely calculated this stuff out on a blackboard without any rounding or spherical cows to "prove" it should be about 1 meter of displacement for every 4 kilotons then his real "in the head math" was 2.5 times 4.

Are any of these numbers reasonable? Well sure. At 10 miles the blast wave of a 10Kt simple nuke is a couple feet and virtually everyone survives it plus or minus building collapses. Good luck with the fallout and the fire, but the blast won't kill you, just knock you over probably. At 1 megaton that would be 100 times worse or like 250 meters instead of 2.5 meters and yes the survival rate at 10 miles of a 1 megaton fusion bomb is in fact roughly zero as you'd expect.
> 4. Which paragraph are you refering too? When I try to reset my Gmail password it boils down to: "dude you forgot your password, no backup email... we cant help here".

Checking now, I cannot setup a gmail account without a phone number or backup email. I can also reset my password as long as I have access to my phone which is currently logged in.

> In the end of any authentication scheme there will be a password that you just cannot forget. In SecureLogin we removed unnecessary levels of "backups" and "recovery codes", our scheme boils down to one master password, not to master password and backup file/paper/SIM card/email account etc.

I don't think a backup is "unnecessary". It lowers the chance of being completely locked out.

What happens if I forget my master password? Does it mean I can never log into the sights using the same account ever again?
That's a bullshit response from Tesla, roughly equivalent to 'our cars are special snowflakes and should not be compared to other cars (but only when it makes us look bad)' - I see zero reason to believe that faster acceleration means fewer claims and would love to see their evidence that contradicts what this article states.

Their owners are filing more claims and more expensive claims. The way insurance works is those people pay a higher rate (or insurance loses money on them).

Really what I'm getting at, there is no 'structural racism' in this case. You cannot point at a law, or mandate, or policy that actively discriminates against an ethnicity, race, or gender. The best you can do is give some hand-wavy argument that 'unconscious biases' are driving racist actions without knowledge of the person - but what is a person supposed to do with that? They are racist in such a secret way that even they are unaware of it? Total garbage.
Those priorities are self-contradictory.

If you prioritize performance over maintainability, you're sacrificing long-term correctness, which is supposed to be your #1 priority.

Why Remote Work Can’t Be Stopped
I drove a Leaf for a while and one issue fellow owners faced was that regen braking plus one-pedal driving meant the car could slow down very quickly without people expecting it. The Model S/X do put on the brake lights when this happens, unlike the Leaf, but I'm curious if they get rear-ended more often than other vehicles.

Not if this is a reference implementation of a protocol that ends up built into operating systems.

If the point is to be a reference implementation, though, I'd rather it was a reference implementation of, say, better OS/browser handling, syncing, and UI for TLS client certificates.

And before you get angry at me, answer this simple question: have you actually ever used COBOL? I spent a year of my life translating a COBOL mess into Delphi. It was horrible - the code I was working with had no functions (unless you think of a module defined in an entire file as a function), global scope on variables, and tons of ugly COBOL boilerplate, as dictated by the language.

And it's no surprise that COBOL was a historical dead-end. Unlike FORTRAN and Lisp, it begat nothing.

That's why I'm hard-pressed to venerate anyone that had anything to do with perpetuating that mess.
We've asked you before to stop posting ideological boilerplate, which this is. The effect on the discussion is predictable and not what we're here for, and we ban accounts that refuse to stop.

Also "the rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model S is involved in 46 percent more claims than average, and those claims cost more than twice than average."

The big problem seems to be cost of repair. Tesla owners have complained about the high cost and poor availability of body parts.[1][2]

(I miss the 5mph bumper standard. For a few years in the 1980s, US cars were required to have bumpers that could withstand a 5mph collision with no damage. I have a Ford Bronco which complies with that. It was once rear-ended by a SamTrans van. The van's nose and front end collapsed, as it should, for crush depth. Damage to the Bronco was a bent bracket for the trailer power connector.)

Static Single Assignment and Phy Function
The truth behind Hidden Figures was in some ways more heartening, but less amenable to a film centered around social-justice issues, than thr movie showed. For instance, Katherine Johnson never had to run all the way across the complex to use the colored bathroom. She used the white ladies' bathroom and no one batted an eyelash.

It was not all peaches 'n' gravy for these women and their contributions are unfortunately overlooked today. But Hidden Figures was made to make a point, and its narrative serves that end.
> However, on the other hand... I don't find the new stream of games to be all that compelling. I don't get who will be picking up all of these new games.

There's (presumably) always new gamers to market to that are just starting their collection. If you did boardgaming x years ago you might not have settled on the games you have. I assume most enthusiasts go through the same cycle (with exceptions for collectors or whatnot).

> Does AAA have something to gain by requiring anyone to pay more insurance?

If their premiums are too low, they will lose money when insuring Tesla owners. According to AAA, their data shows that their premiums on Teslas were set too low, and need to be raised.

If costs to insure Tesla are not, in fact, higher, then other insurers could keep their prices lower. It will be interesting to see if other insurers follow suit.
I wonder if there is a dropoff in returns for companies with voting control. Google and FB have been pretty good in their early years so far.

Sorry never tested on that platform. But web app must be working, just press Cancel if app is not installed. Native app is not required but recommended.

It's deterministic - enter same password, get same profile. No sync needed.

Wait, you seriously feel all these "your password must have x, y and z, confirm it, scan QR, enter digits" as convenient? Don't listen to me: watch any password manager promo video. Everyone in the world knows auth is broken.

>That by itself is easy to solve. Generate the password for the user.

Yes, but there is goal #2 and others.

>Requiring a native app is a disaster.

Necessary evil? All password managers are native apps too.

>You're confusing out of band authentication with centralization.

Verification through central authority API or gateway is also out-of-band, i.e. user<->authority<->server. These terms are not mutually exclusive.

Exactly. We only think empathy, kindness and gentleness are important because of our social-mammal-centric viewpoint. We only think nature is "nice" and "good" because we're largely no longer the victims of it.

Why don't companies price new models to the market relatively high instead of low? That seems like they're leaving a lot of money on the table. And I can't see why an actuary would care about pressure from product. Do you mean from the car manufacturer, or some internal insurance product team?

Even if it's internal product pressure, I don't see why any insurance company would do anything but give the actuaries a massive amount of say. That's the core competency of insurance companies.
>archaeologists suspect the Middle Bronze Age tomb, perhaps on what was then a hill, was used in the 5th century as a handy place marker for the hoard.

Nowadays, it has become pervasive on social media, and lost value as everyone uses it. It acts as a rhetorical device which can disguise the poor quality of of the argument.
As a Tesla owner I found anecdotal evidence of one of the core ideas here: Tesla's just cost more to repair. My wife had some guy back in to the front of our car - she was completely stopped at the time. Parking lot collision and the other guy just wasn't paying attention, "crash" speed was probably < 4MPH. It ended up costing him $13K, although clearly his fault I felt bad for the guy. He managed to crush the instrumentation cluster in the nose and warp the hood and front end (remember, aluminum). Also the redonkulous torque and speed are abound to get some people in trouble, as fun as they are.
I doubt anybody who reckons themselves at risk of dying will choose not to hail an Uber because the price has spiked — one would expect demand to be almost totally inelastic under those circumstances.
Being a cynic is easy. Which programming language(s) did Dijkstra promote?
More Tesla PR. It reminds me of Musk's post on the autopilot after those crashes: 'Tesla drivers have fewer accidents than the average American driver!' Yeah, that's great, but that's not the question that was being asked, now was it?
> But, have you ever been in a sales room?

Yup.

> Most people are pressured to sign ASAP and dealers generally refuse to print out contracts until after they're signed.

I refuse to sign until I see a printed copy. Just remember that the dealers want that sale a lot more than you do. If they aren't being reasonable, get up and walk away. They'll change their tune very quickly.

Auto insurance is fiercely competitive, and margins are relatively low, and companies spend a lot of money on overhead and cost of customer acquisition, so AAA has a lot to lose by unilaterally raising rates.

Uh huh. Can you quantify that? Or did you just sit down and think really really really hard about it so it must be true.

>and many positive role models

Is that actually a real problem? Are you saying a white kid will be dissuaded from playing basketball, or even being an NBA fan because the best players are black?

In similar spirit, are you really trying to argue that a young girl will not be able to be inspired by Woz, or Jobs, or Elon Musk because they are men? What dystopian, ugly world are you living in?
While your statement of 12(b)(6) is correct, I don't think your analysis of fact vs. law is deep enough.

The kinds of facts that court assumes to be true for a 12(b)(6) motion are that the defendant _did not_ sign a contract. The court assumes that the defendant _did_ use the software in a manner that violates the GPL.

However, determining that the GPL is an enforceable contract is a matter of _law_. That is not something that would be assumed to be true, and is a point that the court may make a decision on at this stage.

That is, the court _assumes_ the defendant violated the GPL, but still needed to come to the decision that the defendant _was not allowed_ to violate the GPL. From my brief reading, the court has made the determination that—if the alleged facts are true—the defendant was not allowed to violate the GPL.

For what's it's worth, I've noticed the opposite: Aggressive (usually male) players tend to dominate the decision making, effectively creating a one or two player game from a co-op.

I think it's just a prettier architecture - obviously both ways work, but if the WM has good splitting, applications don't have to bother with windows and layout implementations.

Furthermore I like to switch between "windows" (rectangles in a tiling - e.g. vertical/horizontal splits - context) or in general rearranging the layout using input controls on the WM layer, so that it works the same across all applications and not just in a terminal emulator context. In the end it's personal choice, however it has some benefits, as the same workflow works across applications. Obviously this requires a WM itself and does not work in a Linux console context (which is supported by tmux and screen), but I mostly run X11 with a WM anyway.

Fortunately, the banks are on Grandma's side on this one. Unlike Bitcoin, banks will not let someone who obtains a few credentials simply transfer an arbitrary amount of money to anywhere in the world in seconds. Banks seems to have many layers of checking for potentially suspicious activity, and ways to reverse transactions that are later proven to be fraudulent.

Bitcoin has some interesting properties, but holding bitcoins directly is definitely not right for anyone who can't be trusted to keep their critical credentials secure no matter what.

Parent post is not arguing about underpaying, but the feasibility of increasing wages. The idea is that if we treat all companies and their employees as one grand company, then the company will have to sell everything to its employees in order to get revenue, but that revenue will have to be distributed to the employees as wages, in full, in order for everything to be bought. That leaves no margin for profit.

The answer to the question lies in what is missing from the equation: the existence of stockholders. They are potential customers too. You don't need to sell everything to just employees, that means you can underpay them and still be sustainable as long as stockholders buy things too.

But there are limits to how many things a customer wants to buy. Once the stockholders' needs are satiated, the rest of the profit won't be spent. At that point, in order for businesses to be sustainable, this balance has to be redistributed as increase in wages.
Why? If cryptocurrencies have value, the value will likely increase in the future. So why not buy?
