There exist 2FA protocols[1] that permit tying the 2FA challenge to a particular context: you can't just take the response from the 2FA hardware and use it anywhere. In this regard, the malware doesn't get anything more than what they already have, and the 2FA still adds protection: if the malware is able to compromise your password (e.g., through keylogging) it doesn't immediately get access to everything you have access to. Now, of course, if you 2FA for some resource, then yes, at that point, you're probably doomed, but I don't believe that gets the malware anything new (e.g., once the auth is complete, if that results in a "user is logged in" cookie, the malware could just read that, and go to town.)

Compromise of a local machine is definitely bad, and not what you want, but 2FA tokens are not useless, even in that situation.

Honestly I'm kind of ok with key reassignment apps not coming with the OS. At this point I'm more annoyed with the software that come pre-installed on operating systems than what they don't have. I can always download whatever apps I want.

But I totally agree that designers don't understand their users. I think there's a sense that Windows has to be "cool" like Android and iOS rather than just "useful".
I was just looking for something like this. Googling led me to Charles proxy, which seems a pretty capable tool, and I'm growing fond of it though the Java UI is jarringly ugly.

Something not addressed in this article is that not all tools are equally useful. Many tools aren't well suited for your problem; some tools aren't well suited for any problem.

A wonderful discussion of tool-making is Mike Bostock's keynote at Foss4G 2014 [1]. I rewatch it from time to time; it has really made me think differently about tool making and problem solving.

A potential bitcoin miner has to decide whether it's worth buying the equipment in the first place, and then later they have to decide whether it's worth it to upgrade. Before they actually start mining they're speculating that the future value will cover the up front equipment cost, on going electricity costs, and all of that.

IMO, the interesting number isn't the cost of mining or the value of the bitcoins in dollars, but the value of goods and services being bought directly with bitcoin. If everybody treats it as an investment and never spends it, or immediately cashes out, then isn't it essentially just a big ponzi scheme?

All those experts (~90%) predicted a sharp 20% increase in unemployment in the period between the vote and the finalized deal when surveyed by the bank of England just before the vote because of "uncertainty".

Unemployment didn't spike a massive 20%. It went DOWN.

> I was just addressing an issue somebody else raised earlier about the blurring of news and opinion, by pointing out that the author directly contributes to this problem by the way he wrote his article.

I guess I just really strongly disagree that the sentence you quoted constitutes "blurring the line." It says that some people think something and then went on to detail who these people were. Further more, David Brooks is possibly one of the most well known columnists for one of the most well read newspapers in the world. It's labeled "Opinion" and "Op-ed Columnist" at the top. It has an editorialized title, "How Evil is Tech?" It's so clearly NOT news. Nitpicking this one sentence to say that somehow David Brooks is masquerading as news is absurd.
It certainly does. A country reeling in economic shock, suddenly cut off from the free trade it enjoyed with 300 million other people? They will take trade deals that previously they wouldn't have given the time of day to.

Seems like it. From the article:

"Multinational digital businesses pay billions of pounds in royalties to jurisdictions where they are not taxed. And some of these royalties relate to UK sales.

"So from April 2019, and in accordance with our international obligations, we will apply income tax to royalties relating to UK sales, when those royalties are paid to a low tax jurisdiction."

i love scrivener, but i'm not a novel-writer. i use it to run role-playing campaigns. it's is more-or-less perfect for that kind of work. I can add images and PDFs under the research / resources section (i tend to mine existing and published content for a bit here and there), I can tag different cards with PCs and NPCs that are present / relevant, it is really a great organizing tool for that.

I think you massively overestimate the power of the US government. What would they do if Apple said no? Shut them down? Put Tim Cook in jail? Never going to happen. That perception of power might exist against mere civilians, but not against the big multinationals.

Apple has engineered their products to be unbreakable by Apple. That says a lot about their desire to cooperate!

Apple's billions held internationally aren't hidden, everyone knows where it is. And it was never money destined to be "on-shore" in the first place – it's profits from retail sales which occurred in Europe and elsewhere. Their offices in Ireland have the Apple logo on them and they're one of Ireland's largest taxpayers. Everything they do is on the public record. That money wasn't expatriated from the USA, the IRS isn't owed any of it.

$27k a year for school is crazy expensive, especially in the lower grade levels. 20+ kids paying that is a cool half million dollars, and for what appears to be substandard education.

Then again, nearly every private school I or my friends has attended has been a bad learning environment, you pay for crappier teachers (that couldn't get hired by the school district) and get to deal with whatever tertiary motivating factor these schools have (religion, computer free Montessori schools, or experimenting with children ala AltSchool).

Worse yet, in Seattle private schools are bringing back horrible diseases that were once eradicated. Nasty AF that private schools are a okay with spreading and breeding crippling diseases.

> they turn 18 and they will have maximum pay rate that is available for the UPS driver position.

That's not the assumption. It's that they receive median pay their entire career, which would be reasonable if they never left their job. Getting paid 60, 70, and 80 over a 3 year period is the same as working three years at 70 ignoring inflation and investments. That's the assumption

Yes, there are other uses for Bitcoin. They are miniscule in comparison to its use as an investment product.

Well, the general case is that there might be a subtraction. In IEEE arithmetic the sum (or difference) of two numbers is guaranteed to be within 1 ulp, which is a very good bound on the relative error. The problem begins when you feed this slightly inaccurate result into some other computation that magnifies the error.

Now, one might have hoped to derive some bound on the relative error of sums with a small number of addends. My point is that already with three terms this is a lost cause.

Of course with extra assumptions on the nature of the input it's possible to state something stronger. In my example of computational geometry this is never the case since unstable arithmetic corresponds to geometric singularities and the real world is never in general position.
the article i saw said that the $270M profit was for a single hospital, sutter memorial hospital in sacramento, which does revenue of $3B per a separate article i found.

it is interesting that sutter's overall system-level profit is $370M. i think they have a few other very profitable hospitals as well. they must spend a lot on corporate sg&A and executive salaries (their CEO has a $7-10M salary IIRC)

Doesn’t the same idea apply to the creators? They get to choose what content they serve, and they can make that content complain about whatever they want.
My reasons:

1) I just seriously don't have the energy because of my medical condition. I suspect this broadly applies to many people: They don't have the energy for some reason, then they or others call them lazy or a procrastinator, things I was called my whole life until I finally got the right diagnosis.

2) Trying to accomplish stuff has been so much drama in the past that I want to try to find a path forward that doesn't essentially explode in my face. Having things explode in my face always felt like 2 steps forward, 27 steps back. It wasn't productive. It was counterproductive.

3) Having figured out some of the things I want to do and how to (mostly) avoid terrible explosions, I still have only the most slender concept of how to make that actually fly. I am working on fleshing out those plans. Sorting that out strikes me as the difference between the Wright Brothers launching their first test flight and hurling myself off a cliff willy nilly like a lemming.

They(US, Japan, China) would like a deal with the UK because it would be easier for them to obtain more preferential terms than if they were negotiating with the EU. The EU is a much bigger market than the UK alone, Australia which made some noises about a free trade deal with the UK don't want to actually make a deal, or even discuss it, until they have their EU deal sewn up. The reality is we lost a lot of negotiating power through brexit and put ourselves in a position where we need trade deals and all our trading partners know that we need those deals. It's a poor position from which to negotiate.
