> too afraid to ever question whether things could be designed with proper abstractions.

That's fairly arrogant. Have you ever considered that we simply looked at the alternatives, observed the hell that followed, and beat a hasty retreat to well-tested abstractions that have withstood generations of change? It's not like nobody's ever tried anything else: NT, Haiku, parts of Darwin, various experimental research systems... really, if you want the anti-unix, go use Microsoft's stuff. OLE, COM, etc; nothing's a file, everything does more than one thing (poorly), they gave up on the legacy of teletype long ago.

But no, we're not huddled in the corner afraid of the world because our stuff sucks so terribly, we're relying on simple, composable layers because everything else breaks when you try to scale it up.
That's how Interface Builder on macOS/iOS works, especially in concert with Key Value Coding and Key Value Binding. It's cool stuff, check it out.

> It controls for most things.

I am not suggesting the results are one way or the other, but let's all keep in mind that given any statistical phenomenon, we can control for the change.

i.e. if there is an increase in automation due to the minimum wage, which in turn displaces workers, a biased or naive researcher can "control for automation and technology trends"-- effectively eliminating the perceived effect of the price floor.

I'm not saying that this is what is happening here, as I haven't read the studies, but I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case given that they are claiming the law of demand doesn't apply.
probably not the only ones but the first I hear of, you and your brothers also programmers ?
None of that stopped women from entering law, medicine, business, etc.

Tech isn't new. Why haven't women chosen to enter tech in the same numbers they've chosen other male-dominated fields?
It's been a few years since I left, I don't remember. I do remember there are level and performance requirements, too, and there's no guarantee that they hold your old spot for you when you come back. So you do very much depend on the benevolence of your corporate masters.
Cool, thanks. Any good night spots and places to eat?
The purpose of species is to reproduce themselves. The purpose of programming languages is not to produce other languages but to write software. It seems Cobol served this purpose well at the time.
Yes! As a site admin in today's world, you should indeed not want to store passwords. Or even personal data for that matter.

I applaud this initiative since it lists exactly the reasons why we started Authentiq: Decentralization, usability, privacy, safety for end users (which is very different from merely offering security features that most people don't use).

Authentiq is similar in goals and architecture, yet with a more comprehensive feature set, since we aim to support existing standards (like OIDC) as the integration point for developers, and offer a more complete mobile identity to end users so that the site owner doesn't need to store those details either.

That said, I'm very keen to see if we can add support for the OP's authentication protocol soon. Check us out here if interested: https://www.authentiq.com/

In a competitive market where less labor is an option, companies that use less labor would have a larger advantage thanks to a higher minimum wage. This would encourage automation and decrease employment.

In a competitive market where using less labor is not an option, wouldn't #2 happen? All businesses would have the same cost increase and could expect to raise prices.
How do we define the word "diversity" for a tech conference? Shouldn't it about the diversity of idea?
>How much do you know about the personal experiences of African American teenagers?

How much do you? How much do middle-class black Americans in New York know about the personal experiences of poor black teenagers in rural Louisiana? How much do you know of the personal experiences of second generation Polish Americans in Chicago? Or recent Chinese immigrants in San Francisco? Or poor White Protestants in Appalachia.

What is your point?

Luckily we're on an Internet forum where people can take their time to read the question and then have even more time to figure out how to respond, what to respond to, and what to ignore.

It's entirely possible to have complex conversations here where more than a single topic is being discussed at one time. This isn't Stack Exchange.
6 months "to travel"? Your manager will laugh you out of the conference room. A month, that should be doable.
I think it means configuring a new SIM on a new phone controlled by the thief with Cody Brown's Verizon cell phone number. This would allow the thief to receive SMS authentication texts from Coinbase.

Mobile phone carriers are permitting phone numbers to be ported to a new phone held by a thief with nothing more than a billing address. The idea behind adding that "don't port under any circumstance" message is to force an in-store visit with some type of legal identification before a phone number is ported to a new device.

If you don't use SMS to secure your bank account, then maybe this advice is overkill. But if you are using a service that holds a large part of your assets and can only 2FA with SMS, then you really ought to make taking over your mobile phone number as hard as possible.
Salt water dissipates EM very well.
Seawater is a pretty great absorber of EM energy at all frequencies above tens of kilohertz, which is probably around the switching frequency of the drive inverter.
Are they being properly compensated for their time? By that, I mean is the employee being directly compensated for all of the non-work hours the company is claiming ownership of ideas over?

Otherwise, if its a classic "Here is a salary and package, we own all your relevant ideas from here on" deal, I'd say that is highly unethical behavior on the company's part, and is a case of wage theft.

Should the employee be barred from moonlighting too? Not unless the company is willing to pay for said time.
It would require a lot of engineering work just to fake a demo to have a battery that charges when the sleeve is in the beam and doesn't when it isn't or the beam is blocked. More likely, there is actual power transmitted and received but not enough to charge the battery when the phone is doing anything at all. The charging indicator will turn on if you're putting 50 mW in, but that's not going to do much good when displaying the charging indicator uses more power than that.
I'm curious if you are unaware of the widespread belief that there are statistical differences between men and women (caused by biology or socialization) with regards to competitiveness and enjoyment of social communication, or are you offended that such stereotypes are being assumed with the comment?

The enterprise version of Duo apparently works by having the mobile app wake up to ask you for confirmation for the login -- similar to how Apple's Touch ID automatically opens to confirm things like Apple Pay if you initiate from the desktop -- rather than making the user open the app, select the account and generating a number.

I don't know what protocol is used, and I've never tried it, because it's not part of the single-user Duo Mobile app.

But this always struck me as a much more user-friendly way of doing 2FA than the Google Authenticator style that generates numbers that you then have to manually enter.
and "1" does not, so the thing youre trying to be pedantic about isnt even wrong.
Yes, you can only auth from current app installed on current device. No QR codes involved :)

Probably something like 3 watch sections of 8 sailors, with additional working hours off-watch. (I don't know why anybody would want a weekend off aboard that bitty-little boat anyway.) At least in 'merica, the military is exempt from labor laws.

Another effect is that wage increases increase retail spending.

The CEO of Walmart says that their customers are "spent out". They have a metric for this - same-store sales throughout each month. Sales decline week by week after payday, until they're down to necessities by the end of the month.

The US economy is demand-limited - there's plenty of excess production capacity and plenty of available capital, but limited consumer spending.
The drive in the Red October itself is never described in any detail though. That description is of a US experimental system that American engineer was familiar with, not the actual Russian system. Other than the fact it sucks in water and ejects it out the back, we know nothing else, and that fits the Chinese system fine. So nitpicking like this is simply not justified.

In Tesla's case I think it's more they can't make the spares, or are having trouble training shops to handle bodywork and the like. You see nightmare stories on the various Tesla forums of owners who have gone months without a car, just because there aren't parts available (months during which insurance must cover a rental, thus raising the repair cost even more).

> The US doesn't need to maintain primacy, it has thousands of nuclear warheads.

A military whose first line of defence is nuclear weapons is not a functioning military. I don't think you want what you say you want. We all wish the military were cheaper, but that doesn't mean it should be at any cost.
While not rich and not a tesla driver. I'd speculate richer folks tend to not micromanage prices changes(raises) in insurance premiums. Someone who is less rich might reconsider insurance purely on a financial decision. And someone a little more wealthy will never look twice at it.

Most people don't get in accidents and most people need auto insurance for many decades. So those lazy rich people will likely not change.

This is also assuming most people don't make many claims in insurance. (as is the base concept of how insurance works?)

There is a couple of reasons. First, VP is essentially just putting code snippets into nicely coloured boxes, which adds no value apart from making you have to scroll/zoom more. Additionally the structure of the visual becomes important, opposed to text which can be infinitely appended to, and so once you add enough complexity the whole thing becomes complete spaghetti.

VP also hides away a lot of implementation details from you, and assumes the computer will be able to figure out something better than the programmer. For example, when would the dropdown run the SQL query? on page load? on drop down open? As you scale the app bigger, you may want to run a single SQL query and then chop up the results and hand them out to several dropdowns. If your VP interface doesn't support this then your done for, but with code there is always a way.

There is always Clojure of course, which lets you edit your GUI while the app is running, and upload code changes without having to rebuild, allowing you to tweak stuff as you go. REPL driven development is great as it gives you both the flexibility of written code, as well having close to the interactivity that VP offers.

By criticizing Unix I did not mean look at Windows etc....

There are systems which take the good parts of the Unix philosophy (composability, uniformity) but abandon the bad parts (text, hierarchical files, mutability, the name based permission model, etc.).

There are various research crowds such as the FP and capabilities people are usually at the forefront of this but the research to production cycle is very long since Unix is entrenched. In my experience a lot of systems programmers are reactionaries and make this cycle longer than it should be, but that is the subjective part.

One plausible explanation would be if Teslas logged more miles than comparable cars. If I drove more, I'd be more inclined to spend money up front for a more fuel efficient (and more fun to drive) car. And on the flip side, if I drove a gas-guzzling luxury SUV, I might not put as many miles on it.

I have no data to support this, and I'm not an actuary, but Teslas driving more miles than luxury SUV's and claims being proportional to miles driven seem like a plausible hypothesis.

I could have paid for that visit without having private insurance. If anybody allows this it is the state, and as far as I know it was all allowed and legal. With regard to this extra layer on top, I doubt it wouldn't be allowed in Spain. There just isn't a market for it, in all likelihood.

Are there any particularly important changes I'm missing?
There are advantages of putting functionality into other elements.

"The terminal" ... isn't. A TTY is a device, not an application. A terminal emulator provides access to an emulated terminal, and the beauty of screen and tmux is that you can drop these on any emulator (xterm, rxvt, konsole, gnome-terminal, xfce-terminal, etc., etc.) and have it Just Work. Or run either outside or inside (or both, if you're a masochist) an SSH session.

For another example of such modularity, there's rlwrap, a readline wrapper. If you're used to the functionality of readline integration with your shell (bash, korn, zsh, etc., etc.), and suddenly find yourself using a tool that lacks this (Oracle's client comes to mind), you have the option of wrapping the command in a utility which offers that missing functionality.

There's something to be said for modularity.

Another is that if screen, or tmux, offers a feature set you prefer, you're welcome to use whichever better suits your needs (or muscle memory).

once you hit 50% market share, it's never going to double again. if you're doing something new, it's always going to start at 0% penetration and look irrelevant. most people can hold that apparent paradox in their heads at the same time and still have a useful discussion.
Notes from an emergency
There's a future utopia somewhere where you can use programmable digital monies that are a proxy for some sort of deeper more intrinsic value than our current economic system, which in turn allows you to purchase and unlock programmable materials. or maybe a world of abundance where that intermediate layer of monetarily designated value simple ceases to be useful.

There's also a dystopia where programmable material overwhelms organic material -- without the deep thinking and optimization runs undergone through billions of years in time.
You can use get it here too: first part is truly random (store it locally) second is memorable. It gives you freedom to do it your way, unlike traditional approach where you have to backup a wallet no matter what.

> Your game designer works for a year and invents 7 games. At the end of the year, she sues you, claiming that she owns 4 of them, because those particular games were invented between 5pm and 9am, when she wasn’t on duty.

> Ooops. That’s not what you meant. You wanted to pay her for all the games that she invents, and you recognize that the actual process of invention for which you are paying her may happen at any time… on weekdays, weekends, in the office, in the cubicle, at home, in the shower, climbing a mountain on vacation.

> So before you hire this developer, you agree, “hey listen, I know that inventing happens all the time, and it’s impossible to prove whether you invented something while you were sitting in the chair I supplied in the cubicle I supplied or not. I don’t just want to buy your 9:00-5:00 inventions. I want them all, and I’m going to pay you a nice salary to get them all,” and she agrees to that, so now you want to sign something that says that all her inventions belong to the company for as long as she is employed by the company.

> This is where we are by default. This is the standard employment contract for developers, inventors, and researchers.

On top of that, Google doesn't give a damn if you're spending some of your 9-5 hours walking around the buildings, surfing the web (or the infamous memegen), hanging out with coworkers at the microkitchen, or working out at the gym. Do you also consider these as unethical behavior by employees? By signing the employment contract, both parties are agreeing that they don't really care about 9-5 and work hours. They want all your brain's output, and they're going to pay for it. If you don't like it, you are free to walk away, but that doesn't make the contract "bullshit authoritarian".
