The JS approach is still more cumbersome than a normal download, which just asks for a destination right when you click the link (if at all, I think most browsers default to just starting to download to a default destination nowadays).

As for seeding, that would just happen while the download is going as you suggest, maybe have that configurable somewhere for the tech savy people. That would already scale quite well compared to no uploading at all with the traditional approach. The more demand there is, the slower the download gets, the longer you'll be seeding..

That being said, that's what would have helped 15 years ago, nowadays I'd agree that we're doing pretty fine with the centralized approach in most use cases.
Here is a quick PowerShell script - it supports the pipeline so you can automate, e.g. if you use a command line password manager.

Just ask a question about the person, people are almost always happy to talk about themselves. Something not too personal, and ideally related to something present--i.e. if there's something going on in the kitchen or whatever. In the most general case, you're in a coworking space and their ostensibly working for a company there, so "Hey, I noticed you around and was curious about what your company does?" is generally pretty easy. Or if it's obvious what their company does, "Hey I noticed you around and I was curious about what you do at Foo Company?"

Don't overthink it, it's just a conversation and the worst that happens is you return to the awkward silence that was there before.
Consider Phlebas and Look to Windward make a great matched pair. The first introduces the Culture and a bunch of crackling ideas around the beautiful fantasy of a post-scarcity, post-mortality, post-stupidity civilization. It's 31 years old but still feels fresher than most new SF, because the author embraces the weird, wild possibilities of his fictional technology instead of nerfing/overlooking them for the sake of audience familiarity.

Look to Windward is a great follow-up, emphasizing that you can have the smartest, best-intentioned, most powerful military ever and still fuck up when you try to use it to fix another civilization. The rage of the survivors of the Culture's intervention is quite justifiable, though the means of attempted retaliation isn't. From my brief description you might think that it was an allegory dashed off in response to the occupation of Afghanistan or Iraq, but the book was published in 2000. Banks was ahead of the curve.
One way to address this is to have a long term vault that doesn’t get edited often and a working vault.

"I've drawn interest from MS recruiters"

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but that's not how it works. If a firm contacts you and they specifically want to get you set up for a phone interview, then that's interest. But what you're describing is basically spray-and-pray email campaigns from recruiters. Amazon does the same thing. Don't waste your time.

By the way, if they want to set you up with an "online programming test", that's also complete B.S. in my opinion. But that's just me.

"they just keep failing to reply to my messages via email and LinkedIn"

One follow-up email, maybe two max. Then move on.

My last bit of advice? Don't put any company up on a pedestal.

Edit: To soften my response a bit: don't take the recruiting process personally (nor what HNers say either!). Lots of companies do this now, and internal recruiting departments within companies have become almost as obnoxious as agency recruiters these days. Be savvy with how much energy you expend interacting with recruiters.

I'd love to use Signal, but in order for me to do so there's a lot that has to be added.

- Real multi device support. I want my messages on all my devices, without having to have my phone on.

- An iPad app.

- A desktop app. I'd pay for a native one, without Electron.

These things are basically table stakes for competing with Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and iMessage. If Signal's goal is to bring encryption to the masses they have to solve things like this, since regular people care less about security and more about convenience.

No, it adds new branch history controls that let you make things even slower.
This is such a frustrating clickbait headline!

Most of the 'attack' s are:

1. Plain old bugs in apt.
2. Involve disabling the very security features (GPG and checksum verification) designed to prevent that attack!
This article actually made the issue finally click for me: Go is having trouble solving this problem because it has more going on in the global environment, like its ancestor languages, and unlike more modern languages. They need to come up with a complicated framework to reign in their spooky action at a distance, because they have lots of implicit global relationships where we might prefer more explicit and local ones.

Yikes.
My 3 year old plays Galaga on my Atari 7800, Super Mario on my NES, Donkey Kong Country on my SNES, and so on. They've all lasted 25 or 30 years so far, and they're sure to have good years left in them.

ESA has been around for 23 though, and produces the E3 expo. I think they'll be around for at least a chunk of that 30 years.

NIST has unfortunately been the source of a lot of bad advice which has actively harmed password security the last decade. (e.g. [1])

Cargo culting is generally a good thing in crypto because, you know, don’t roll your own. But in this case we’re talking about policy. And this policy is as user hostile (if not worse) than the prior NIST advice on password expiry.

If you want to stop password spraying, protect your hashes. There’s no proof that blacklisting half a billion specific secrets will make cracking any more difficult. Making it neigh impossible for users to register with your service, well I guess if you have no users you have no passwords to lose.

But the point is a blacklist this extensive is just as likely to make passwords easier to crack, not harder, and will come with a direct cost to the company implementing it. I understand well the goal, I’m entirely unconvinced this helps achieve it.

I would be interested to hear Gosney’s (cracker extraordinaire) and Cormac’s (Microsoft Research) take on this.

> and that's because the closed source Mali GPU drivers only work on a fixed kernel version: 4.4.

There's an easy fix: add a fourth ChromeOS software channel (currently there's stable, beta and dev) that ships an image without a GPU blob and with a modern kernel.

There are plenty of users willing to disassemble, disable write-protect, flash new firmware and re-enable write-protect.

Inconvenience, and disabling hardware acceleration for video decoding is a small price to pay for security.
I don't know about that. I'm used to thinking in terms of automation and I can easily envision a semi-automated way to clean toilets. You basically need to remove the cleaning fluids, etc. faster than you apply them. A set of conformal brushes, high pressure pump and high flow vacuum should do it.

The question is: is it faster/more cost effective than a human? If I could build a few of these things in my basement, could I get commercial toilet cleaning contracts and make more money than the traditional cleaners?

The answer is probably "not yet," but I haven't looked through any commercial cleaning publications to see what's on the market.
What are the benefits of decentralized servers over p2p?

"Metadata concern is bogus" yet the linked documentation explicitly says bridges expose metadata, and that home servers expose metadata.

One advantage of Pond-hybrid is "Supports any and all Matrix clients via the existing standard client-server API". This means the issue is desire to remain compatible with insecure clients. This is lack of agility is not needed.

I hope you fix things before it's too late and focus on Pond or other Tor hidden service based communication.
> Don't do this.

On the other hand, do do this, but be aware of the tradeoffs.

I hate telling people not to do something. Most people just end up not turning 2FA on at all. My approach has converted many people from "one password reused everywhere, at best with variations" to KeepassXC unique passwords everywhere + 2FA and I classify that as a big win.

The biggest benefit of TOTP 2FA isn't the "second factor" part, it's the OTP part. This removes many forms of phishing, keylogging and database leaks as a threat to your account. You do not lose these benefits when you have it all in one factor.

If you read my comment, you'll see I address this concern. If this is a real threat for you, then you can always simply use a separate Keepass database for your OTP settings.
I'm not an expert on the whole car market, but I don't think any other car has a huge touchscreen, and the modernist/minimalist interior is also unusual. If you recall earlier discussions of this car, lots of people don't like either.

Both of these things certainly could be done by other car companies.

Detroit engineer here.

There may be a lot of openings around here as Detroit industry continues to modernize and the startup scene matures, but salaries are still lagging.

Some of the large companies (autos, insurance, etc) will occasionally offer higher-paying gigs, but competition is fierce and interviewing (like everywhere) is a crap shoot.

I'm currently contracting remotely with a company in the Los Angeles area, and I don't expect I'll be leaving remote work anytime soon. I expect my clients will be in LA, SF, and NY for the rest of my career.
You can’t consider it a new form of encryption if you’re just stuffing a key distributed with entanglement into AES and sending the encrypted result over tcp. The detection only holds for key distribution, which is a different problem than encryption (to my understanding).

As i understand it, the main novelty here is that china has demonstrated recent ability to teleport particles a long ways away. This is only related to encryption in the slimmest chain of buzzwords.

Now it is to late, but Base64 could save about a third of the bandwidth, maybe for V3.

Yeah, it was similar in the US, in the sense that GM released Bolt first in California, then the other states with the EV requirement, and then at the end released them in other states at the same price. That last part was a pleasant surprise, because apparently GM loses money on every Bolt, and loses even more money when they sell Bolts in states without the EV requirement.
I dunno, I wouldn't discount this entirely. An advanced targeted attack could likely profile a user for their "likes" in a random string (e.g., favorite letters appearing often), but in the case of anonymous, brute-force-style attacks, "I just click things and scroll around until I see something I like" is probably really useful. It could, for example, protect against a somewhat predictable generator, since you won't know "the user always uses the first password, and the first password is always seeded incorrectly", or some other specific implementation flaw.
>IPFS may be a way of sticking it to the man. But the invisible hand of the free market forces also help here; when one big corporation starts playing foul and upsets the users, new companies and startups quickly move in to disrupt the space and fill in the void.

No, once someone like Facebook gets a monopoly, it becomes impossible for a startup to get anywhere. It is hard for me to believe the author doesn't know this.

He also doesn't address the problem of web companies going out of business, like Geocities, so you lose all your data forever. Likewise the if-you're-not-the-customer-you-are-the-product problem that is behind so many ills today. As far as defeating governmental censorship goes, IPFS is being combined with Tor.

In general, he seems to be looking at things from the perspective of someone who works for a company based on the present centralization model, rather than the perspective of those who are suffering under it and could solve a lot of problems with IPFS.
In the first demo you use WASD to move around. Personally I use a very different keyboard layout but that's not what I was going to say but actually while we're on the topic it should be noted that in some countries they use AZERTY [0] which means that more people are actually affected by the particular choice of WASD than just those of us who have chosen non-standard layouts like Dvorak or Colemak so maybe consider making it possible for the user to define keys to use after all even though I wasn't going to suggest that.

Anyway, the thing I was going to suggest was to allow click-and-drag with mouse to be used in order to look around. Also touch-and-drag on mobile devices. And provide on-screen buttons for mobile device users to move forwards and backwards and sideways.

> East Texas was popular with plaintiffs because it was very troll-friendly.

Plaintiff-friendly, whether or not the plaintiff was a troll.

And even that has noticeably been changing in the last couple years.

> Delaware is popular with companies because of its tax laws.

No, it popular because it is perceived as having both very well settled and very well understood corporate governance law, so that investors are secure.

> Delaware knows what side it's bread is buttered.

Delaware has only limited influence over the composition, court rules, and judgments of the US District Court for the District of Delaware, which the State of Delaware does not control. So, even to the extent that Delaware wants the court to rule a particular way, its ability to influence it is quite limited.

If it's important for you to fit as many rows in the screen as reasonably possible with maximum readability, then doing the separation with some separator takes less pixels/distance than separating them with whitespace.

There's not much to think about the whitespace in such a scenario - it's a simple yes/no experiment; you can try to simply remove the separating line. If the resulting whitespace ensures good enough readability/separation, then it works; if it'd need increased spacing, then it's worse than having the separator and not worth thinking about how much extra spacing you'd want - the answer to that is as little as possible, i.e., zero.

I don't know, in my view a patent troll is a company that managed to obtain a patent for something trivial that most people would not even think of obtain a patent for. For example:

- displaying originating city/state based on area code of a calling number

- swipe to unlock the phone

- rounded corners

and is trying to get money from anyone who uses it

Typing through swiping is a bit more innovative.

To be honest, I think there shouldn't be any patents on software. That field is thrives on building on top of work of others, and things change quickly, so patents are actually stifling innovation. At least if software patents can't be eliminated they should be much much shorter.
>Minimum wage hikes are typically a pretty direct transfer from profits to wages, with a minor increase in prices:

This sentiment has always bothered me. It assume that whatever "profit" exists, must continue to exist, nay increase, and that it is a zero-sum game. One could argue that paying your workers more make them eligible to purchase your products ala Henry Ford and the Model T.
Based on several articles that got published over the years, investigating the district's patent practices, it was overwhelmingly plaintiff friendly. There was a judge there that was particularly infamous (at the peak he was handling 1/4 of all patent cases in the US).

It's likely a no go for us without domain based restriction. I'd rather do that then deal with signed urls, we wouldn't want them to expire. We deal with artists who have painting instruction videos, they're going to want to have those behind a paywall on their own domains (and then we'll offer them in our marketplace on our domain too).

You never mentioned WCAG guidelines before, you just said "making it hard to read." If you had said "the author doesn't respect WCAG guidelines, even lower-hierarchy text should meet WCAG guidelines," I think that would have been a very, very fair criticism.

This is "cheating at design" though, not "how to meet the full AAA WCAG thresholds."

I'm still not sure I really follow your line of thinking here. When the author says (paraphrasing) "make low priority text less readable, in order to highlight the important stuff comparatively," and you say "less readability is bad for usability," I think 'yeah... that's the point'. You take something that isn't as important and you make it less readable so that the important stuff is more readable by comparison. It helps users to differentiate between expected/primary data/actions and secondary/tertiary data/actions.

Do you just completely disagree with this philosophy? Do you think the author is mis-applying this, and you think some text that the author has made less readable is actually more important to users than the author thinks it is? Something else entirely?

Honestly I'm struggling to figure out where you actually disagree with the author, it seems to me you are both saying "lower contrast ==> less readability/usability." What am I still missing here?
