Not saying your are wrong in your preference, but you can similarly use a password manager to save the email address used for a password-less login. So perhaps not a good argument against passwordless logins in general, though I am sure there are many good reasons against it.

So far, the few arguments against here are individual, convenience-based reasons. Those are certainly valid reasons, because if you inconvenience a potential user, they may never become an actual user.

Not everyone has a password manager, and many people use the same username, email and password across many services. The larger danger can be that if one service is hacked, it may provide a hacker access to many services, including email. A provider of a service with a passwordless login would never have to worry about being the root cause of such a breach. And, as long as the users' email was not hacked, would not be susceptible to malicious activity through another hacked service.

One question for the OP: What kind of service are we talking about? If the information is sensitive, then perhaps it is not a good idea. If it would be safe to keep a user logged-in after a session ends, then maybe a good consideration. By limiting the number of login requests, then you reduce the inconvenience.
You seem to just be thinking about low level network protocols.

The idea of a protocol in this sense encompasses pretty much any communication between things. This includes web service calls, user input via a UI, transactions between multiple systems, or even modules within the same program.
But you are because you own the fund that in turns owns the company.

That's true..but IMO, if you want to reach that level of expertise, you have to spend a whole lot of time every day/week learning new stuff/technologies. At least that's the case for me as a software developer.

It shouldn't matter that this is an obvious thing to do or easily circumvented (for the time being).

It is 1) an invasion of privacy and 2) anti-competitive behavior.

Version 1 may be easily circumvented, but future versions could easily be tighter and more difficult to circumvent. For example, a contract with the mobile providers could make this something that no longer depends on in store WiFi usage.

This is the sort of thing that should be stopped in its infancy.

> I read everything

And the truth is you shouldn't have even had to 'read everything'.
It is not nowadays, it's been like this forever. I remember even myself loudly complaining about some service(s) some decade ago when they changed. I have since come to the realisation that I'll get used to whatever is changed at some point, and that makes me not care anymore. Usually, anyway.
Interestingly enough, the song "Afternoon Delight" by Starlight Vocal Band was named after a dessert, despite the song itself being 3 minutes of sexual innuendo.

What was arrogant in OP's post? They said they personally yearn for a new frontier, and that Mars satisfies it for them.

> It's even more arrogant to believe that a Mars society will be any different or better than the society on Earth.

It'd be an entire planet built with modern understanding of city planning, environmentalism, governance, etc. Whether a Martian society winds up better is hard to say, but different seems pretty certain.

How do they know what to improve if you won't tell them what needs improvement (in your eyes)?
I often wish that password entry for things fully under your control (i.e. when there are no retry limits aside from brute computational power) would come with limited brute forcing support.

Such password dialogs could just let you type your best effort, and they could use the things you type to inform the guessing process; you could fat-finger a character or two, and it would just take a moment longer to log in as it uses the accurate parts of the data to make educated guesses of the password. For old encrypted files, for example, I often don't remember which password or which combination of passwords I might have used, but I can provide all the important bits and a smart program could easily guess the right combination.
They could also increase the online price (for websites they own) to be the same as the in-store price.

I've seen something similar to this at Target. Target.com is often cheaper than Target stores. And Target store matches Target.com prices. However, if you use Target app (not Target mobile/desktop website) in a Target store, the price shown will be the in-store price instead of online price. The Target Android app requests permissions to access precise location, pair with Bluetooth devices, and view WiFi connection.

Unless the feedback admits that the candidate was discriminated against because they were a member of a protected class, it is benign.

I tend to think scientific research deserves public funding. What musk advocates is not for scientific research, it's basically an extremely weird and expensive real estate project. And I don't think real estate deserves public funding, no matter how exotic it is.

And even if I did not think scientific research deserves public funding, that would not matter, for a wrong should not justify an other wrong.

What I say is: 'I'd rather have your connections than your money'.

As someone who helps investors with some of their investments that is often a missed point. Reviewing your list of investors I've worked with several of them. Knowing exactly who to call to get an answer, advice, or help can be just as important or actually more important than money. Obviously.

I remember when an investor approached me many many years ago to buy something that I was selling that the firm wanted. I remember thinking 'I'd rather have access to your connections than your money'.

If WF were to fail under Amazon's tutelage, maybe we shouldn't be looking at nationwide competitors but at local stores for replacement?

Here in the Bay Area I'm really happy with Draeger's. Haven't really been back to WF much since I started going there. Unlike Trader Joe's it does have a reasonably complete selection of meats (and for specialty cuts there are local butchers).
I mostly agree that Intel has a two pronged problem. Will CPUs become a commodity when GPUs are where the real competition is at? What does Intel look like in that world? Could Nvidia make a "good enough" CPU?

I agree that asteroid capture and in space refining/construction seems like the way to go. Once you show that you can make a profit in space other than pointing satellites at the earth you grow the # of people that are interested in participating by a huge amount.
OK, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

Your assertion is meaningless because "well India has done it for a long time so it must be good" is not being said for the social practice of open defecation but for the specific effect of coconut oil on the health and longevity of a large number of human beings.

How is this different than anything else? I'm not placing value on food, I'm placing value on eating. I'm not placing value on money, I'm placing value on the freedom it gives me. Literally every value judgement has to do with fulfilling a subjectively perceived need.
"This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic). Since elderly people with high LDL-C live as long or longer than those with low LDL-C, our analysis provides reason to question the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis."

"We might also point out that the vast area in the middle is shared by both those with and without heart disease. In fact, the solid line represents about seven times as many people as the dotted line. That means that the vast majority of people who developed heart disease developed it with cholesterol levels similar to those of seven times as many people who remained free of heart disease."

On how to use Chef and Sparrowdo together to ease configuration management
Many years ago, a mail reader, whose name temporarily eludes me, touted as one of its features that for the most common use case it could be driven with just two fingers on the numeric keypad, one for the enter key (which paged down and went to the next message) and one for the Del/. key (which skipped threads).
It works this way in the rest of the country. Not just the bay area.
Ask HN: Cost effective macOS VM
I am looking to set up a couple of macOS VM's. Is the best option here to use one of the services specializing in this (I don't know whether they are any good), or maybe just go for a paid VMWare hosting and install macOS on it?

I'd also think of licensing for macOS so maybe a particular macOS VM service is the best?
Scammers don't need to use services like this to commit fraud. They'll just buy their own burner phones.
Wow. That's like, "I know I bought a house a few years ago. It was a decent house, I think, but I lost the address and can't seem to remember where it was or how to find it again." (except that with Bitcoin, it's like, "the house is somewhere in this galaxy, but I can't remember which solar system")
I pretty much take the stance that any bit of news that says "don't eat this thing", without also saying "do eat these things instead" is a completely worthless energisation of pixels.

From the article: "While the AHA warns against it, people who cut saturated fat out of their diet might not necessarily lower their heart disease risk, a 2015 BMJ review suggested. That's because some people fill the void with sugar, white flour and empty calories."

So this bit of news translates to saying precisely "blah blah blah blah, you're all going to get heart disease. We don't know how to prevent or treat it".

But we do know the risk factors, so we should do those things that reduce or eliminate the risks: Eat food, but not too much, mostly plants. Fast regularly. Exercise, but not too much. Relaxy. Practice diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Get plenty of rest, and ensure you sleep properly. Avoid those things you find stressful. Have good relationships with your family. Get a dog and love it. Stop eating high carb foods all the freaking time. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption.

I think that roughly covers most of the risk factors for heart disease.

You will still die, something will snuff you out eventually.

You're rather missing the point; AI will create a shortage of work to do. The alternatives you mention aren't things that pay a living wage so yes, people will be without livelihoods and something akin to UBI will be necessary.
Giving feedback is the recruiter's job; a hiring manager doesn't have the overhead. It's simple for a credible recruiter to share a couple of sentences to the candidate.

Clearly your strengths lie in organization, communication, and technology, not in carefully interacting with other people (as in Sales, Marketing, Recruiting).

Delegate this to the recruiter so the candidate doesn't get a bad impression of the company they just attempted to join.
And the shareholders are [usually/pretty much] the entire reason there is a company there for them to work at and potentially hold some shares in. There are two sides to that.
I'm not sure how you're addressing the question. I don't think anyone would disagree with you that reality is "objective". Our perception of it is far from objective though.
I agree completely and it's super-ironic that many of these designs claim to focus on "content" while filling the screen with useless chrome (of the whitespace variety).
All of those jobs you mentioned are not economic, they are public works -- and there is no funding for them, so at best those are volunteer efforts, not something to put food on the table.

You're right, in theory we could have a system where we put truck drivers to work doing great stuff. Losing lots of jobs could be amazing if we had the services and programs that made our society compatible with that. But we don't, they will take a long time to establish, and the political climate appears to be reluctant to even start building them. Thus: a disaster.

It seems to me that most of the negative attitudes towards this project stem from the idea that we're going to colonise Mars with 2017 technology and ideas.

Strange, as a Canadian Save-On-Foods (primarily BC) shopper, I regularly use their in-store WiFi.

For the most part no, no one cares how much another person spent on a shirt. Although I find dressing well and looking good is worth the effort for me. Some of my favorite shirts I bought vintage for $20 or less, while others I spent over $200 for (although those items are rare purchases for me).

The price doesn't matter as much as the styling, not even close.
It's not possible with only the address. If you have the encrypted wallet I could give it a try though.
When I was a kid, there was a small flavored-popcorn-and-candy shop called Karmelkorn in our town. They made fresh Turkish Delight (along with popcorn, marzipan, and other candies) in the store, and it was always my favorite treat. They had the traditional rosewater along with some citrus flavors, and it was dusted in cornstarch, not sugar. It was just sweet enough, with a firm, but pleasingly squishy bite.

I've tried the Cadbury chocolate-covered version, and a few packaged versions as an adult, and none of them are as good as we used to get from the Karmelkorn shop.
This is a great move by Walmart.

It is targeted directly at competing more effectively with Amazon. I don’t believe either company is worried about dilution of their respective brands.

What Walmart needs is to keep leveraging its existing strengths — logistics and supply chain, as well as immense amounts of capital — while invigorating its online retail division so that over the next 20 years, they can appeal and sell to their target demographics (which is what millenials will become) with the same stickiness that Amazon does.

Bonobos is popular among young male professionals that are relatively fashion-conscious. There are many workplaces in New York where the majority of new grads and millenials buy most of their wardrobe from Bonobos. The key — Bonobos is often the first place they look at. Andy Dunn has demonstrated he knows how to build a business that’s both sticky and appealing.

He’s joining an online retail division headed by Marc Lore, and a Walmart that is shifting gears to face the Amazon behemoth.

Purchasing Bonobos is part of their strategy of capturing audiences and market-share in the short-term, and of building a portfolio of brands that they can continue to expand for the long-term.

Bonobos (as well as other recent acquisitions), and Jet.com, which Walmart acquired August 2016, are brands that were born online and grew online. These acquisitions mean people like Marc Lore and Andy Dunn, well-versed in the art of courting a customer base through primarily-online channels, are now at Walmart. And I foresee this trend continuing as Walmart’s ship slowly but steadily steers towards the age of online retail.
Some answers only mean something in combination with other answers. You're looking at the cloud of data points, not the answer to any single question.
Then they could issue a press release: "We here at Amazon are very concerned about... and so we have patented this in order to make sure that nobody does this awful horrible thing."

Email deliverabilty is not necessarily 100%. Also there can be latencies here and there that can lead to user frustration (for example greylist strategies).

One alternative for password-less is to use Google Authenticator code as the password (i.e. send the QR code once by email and from then on use the Google Authenticator code), but I'm not sure if the the low entropy (1/1000000th chance of guessing the right password) would be enough for brute force attacks.
