A UBI is literally the purest form of redistribution of wealth. It takes money disproportionately from the rich and then gives it equally to everyone.

There are only three classes of people who oppose it: 1) people who oppose all redistributive programs, 2) people who favor the centrally planned farce of the existing welfare system because it allows them to covertly insert corrupt industry-specific subsidies into the system, and 3) people who don't actually understand how it works.

If the 1% favor it they must like income redistribution, dislike opportunities for political corruption, or not understand what they're asking for.
In the early days, we had a policy that we would not respond to RFP's. The time required vs. value does not make sense for startups (unless you've already been told you'll win and the RFP is just a formality).

Ask HN: Does any US financial institution have modern and strong authentication?
I was a little disappointed looking at my banks account authentication and recovery processes.

Looking at the competition, no one appears to do it better. Lots of "if we detect something is off, we'll ask for your torrentable SSN, send you an SMS to a phone number that can be stolen, and ask for your fathers easily googleable hometown".

Does any bank platform offer OTP as 2FA? Not the SMS variety and without an emergency fallback option to the less secure methods. Bonus points if they provide decent customer service and a savings APY of at least 1%.

And for any of you with knowledge of banks customer facing IT platforms, whats up? Any plans to move forward?

That gives you more security than the update in your OS or Browser so they are a weaker link.
This post is sound and current advice. If you are resource constrained, just go and sort it out when you're there. If you are worried, go somewhere that's easier to pull off first, then reward yourself by transitioning to your intended destination 12 or 24 months later.
This is what we're working on at Horbito. The Internet is clearly broken, it wasn't designed for this cases and now the are big players trying to monopolize with their suites. We've created a campaign explaining this problem to sensitize the users: https://www.theinternetisbroken.io
For this to be a problem, you first have to commit a crime. Simple fix: don't commit crimes.
The essential phone's camera cutout looked cool in product shots. But the iPhone cutout seems too intrusive to me.
I mean, I guess that's interesting, but the controversy was never about the broader lifespan of Apple devices. It has always been, as far as I've heard and experienced, about the lifespan of Apple's phones. To think that the knowledge that their devices quickly dropping in CPU speed wasn't considered when they decided to throttle based off battery life is naive. They definitely did this, and if they didn't, they are doing something seriously wrong.

I think gp is not ragging on the blog's author for being a novice at Unix systems internals but lamenting the " I looked into this but then it all seemed so complicated so I stopped" attitude that is present in this as well as the sibling posts on sudo and ls.

A user replaceable battery isn't free:

1. It restricts the size of the battery

Lithium polymer batteries can be molded and shaped to fill up all available space inside the case. A replaceable battery can't be shaped to nearly that degree. Making a battery user-replaceable means it must be smaller.

2. It doubles-up the case

There is no way you can legally sell a product with an unprotected Lithium battery, especially not one that is laptop-sized. It would be a massive safety hazard. You need an internal case for the computer and an entirely separate case for the battery. That takes up space and adds weight. It also further restricts your ability to shape the battery to fill the available space (meaning the battery must be smaller or the case must be larger).

There is no magic in battery technology. We aren't going to wake up one day and have computers as light as a piece of paper that last all day. It requires constant iteration and improvement. If everyone listened to naysayers it would greatly slow down the pace of innovation. I am absolutely certain there are still people out there angry about the removal of RS-232 serial ports or VGA ports on laptops. Probably a few still upset about removing floppy drives too.

Sorry - that was from a comment below, and wasn't really what I was responding to. 'Their' means HSBC.

Assuming the documentary is accurate - that HSBC was the go to bank for money laundering. That was a big part of their business. That they went out of their way to hide transactions from the government (like transactions to ISIS and cartels). When caught they repeatedly got away with a shrug. That 100k people have been murdered related to mexican cartels - and the claim is that mexican cartels couldn't have operated at that scale without HSBC.

I was responding to the comment below that seemed to be saying the fine was 'big enough'. Which the documentary didn't agree with. The people that brought the charges and investigated HSBC didn't think so. Neither did the journalists who were there when the government tried to pass off the deal as a big success. The management didn't lose jobs. The worst that happened to them was that part of their bonuses were kept back.

Oh and the government dropped all charges in 2017. That part of the deal was the charges remained - ie they did commit crime but suspended sentencing.

> I think this race towards owning as much stuff as possible is driving western society to destruction.

I agree except it is only through ownership that you are free of others' (e.g. your rentors') control. When that control is used almost universally to expand the financial relationship between rentor and rentee, or to enrich the rentor at the further expense of the rentee, it is imperative for individuals to remove themselves from its influence.

Also, if you load 320kbps MP3 and 14.4khz WAV into a spectral analyzer you will find differences, which will be detectable to anyone with the right critical listening skills.
To clarify, these are very early revisions of Unix we're discussing, prior to Research Unix v1. By the time v1 happened, fork existed, and `chdir` was a shell builtin.
Did you write that? Thanks!

I actually do use this, but it is missing a lot of useful features, some of which seem unimplementable in IRC

One example: the mattermost clients won't register a message as "read" until you switch to that view, so if e.g. I check messages on my phone, I will see unread messages, but IRC doesn't have a way of communicating this between client and server so matterircd seems to mark all messages as "read" with mattermost)
They removed all but basic functionality of a standard smartphone but want to charge $400 (retail price). No thanks.

I wouldn't say I've changed my career to become a writer. However, I've shifted directions and have began writing a ton more as part of my career.

I'm in marketing, and before was focused quite a bit on social media content which was just quick little snippets accompanied with a photo. Now I write mainly long form content for blogs.

I focus on digital privacy and security at: https://choosetoencrypt.com/

If you like writing, you can incorporate it into many careers, without having to quit your job and be a starving artist.
Interesting how the author was looking at "cd" obviously sourced from FreeBSD project (perhaps found on a Mac computer running XNU kernel) and then, to investigate further, she consulted the source code for the Linux kernel to learn about "the" chdir syscall.

Would the title "How does 'cd' work in MacOS?" be better for readers wishing to learn, or worse? I wonder.

The blog posts from her friend at jvns.ca have been similarly Linux-centric but never use titles that inform the reader as such, i.e., "How does X work?" versus "How does X work in Linux?"

It makes me ask, how important is it for students to be aware of the Holy Grail of UNIX: portability.

How long should one remain blissfully ignorant of incompatibilities between UNIX-like OS that work against those "still seeking the Holy Grail"?

As a user, the UNIX programmers I admire the most are the ones who understand the value of portability, set it as a goal and through broad knowledge and utmost care can get very close to achieving it, despite the mind-numbing work or the tradeoffs this might entail.
So the land and expand model? Up-selling seems less risky than going all in up front.
They probably could, but it isn't happening. It is hard to find a cloud service that seamlessly works with some other cloud service without explicit integration between the two services.

Email was introduced and has become a popular standard long before commercial cloud services. The companies adopted it, but they do not seem to be interested in introducing similar standard protocols for new APIs.
This may have been a byproduct of their acquisition of Maple.
You're just nitpicking now.
Can you read from memory? Speedrunners use programs that auto-split (detect when the runner has reached a certain stage of the game), I think by reading from memory.

XMSS is great work, but it's not clearly suitable for use in SSH: I will occasionally copy SSH private keys around, or restore them from backups. I think that's fairly common. However, with XMSS:

"the signature schemes described in this document are stateful, meaning the secret key changes over time. If a secret key state is used twice, no cryptographic security guarantees remain." [1]

Perhaps the SSH authors have a clever answer for this! But stateful signatures are not, in general, suitable as a drop-in replacement for traditional signature schemes and I do worry that people may miss this subtle, but critical, point.

The prior position staked on p-values makes the posterior claim of a Bayesian basis devilishly improbable.
this works well in the real world and even more so when parents do it to teach restraints to children, but anyone who has been in this position of wanting to reduce/prevent/limit their usage of a specific software (like focus apps) is usually (and i mean in most cases) savvy enough with their use of a computer to get rid of it in the first instance...
I think most would agree there, and so it only leaves the ones that do not know how to do it in the first place.

I can believe there are a few for whom this is valuable and useful. but not enough of them that i can warrant a paid for service.
Thinking more, it's the misleading names ("machine learning", "AI") that rustle my jimmies so much.

Sure, you don't need to know the halting problem to approximately solve MNIST by fitting a million-parameter curve to a dataset.

But you're misleading people if you're claiming to have any kind of insight into how computers can be made intelligent, or how computers can "learn", when you don't even know the halting problem.
I have a 6S from the original batch with the bad batteries. I never had it replaced because it worked fine (a coworker's most certainly did not), and it made a good excuse for a free replacement later down the line.

Now that it's finally acting up, I'm in waitlist hell because of the advent of the battery replacement program. I've been on the wait list for our local repair shop for about a month now, it's pretty crazy. They said they've had hundreds of people sign up.
> I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing why it occurs as it's a really interesting reason.

And I'm saying that's an incomplete picture. It only accounts for some but not all suicidal action in people taking anti-depressant medication.

You make it sound like your mechanism is widely accepted. It isn't. For one thing it doesn't account for age differences in suicidality in people taking medication.

Thanks for this, this is an excellent set of examples.
The moon is about one light second away from Earth. The sun is about 600 (10 light minutes)).

52 evenly spaced planets in an Earth-like orbit would be about (2pi600)/52 light seconds apart, which comes out to about 72 and a half light seconds. So, the closest neighbor planets would appear a lot smaller than the moon, but a lot bigger than, say, Venus.

I'm not sure how widely the adjacent rings would be spaced, so you might sometimes have neighbors that are closer than 72.5 light seconds as they zip by in the opposite direction.

The article also talks about arranging the planets as binary pairs, in which each planet might be very close to its neighbor, possibly appearing bigger and brighter than the moon from Earth.
ProsperWorks | ( Mobile / Web / Server ) Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA, US | Full-time | ONSITE https://www.prosperworks.com/careers

At ProsperWorks, we've built the CRM that sales teams love to use. We integrate
tightly with Gmail, G Suite and RingCentral to give our users up-to-the-minute
data without a lot of manual data entry. We have over ten thousand of paying
customers, top-tier investors, real revenue and we're growing fast.

We're looking for experienced software engineers to join us. You will work
closely with our small cross-functional teams of developers, QA analysts,
product managers and designers. We work steadily, collaboratively and
iteratively to ship software to customers every two weeks.

Our server is Ruby on Rails, our web client is Ember and we have native Android
and iOS apps. Like most mid-stage startups, we're in the process of paying down
technical debt as we build a solid foundation to serve us through our "hockey
stick" growth. We're committed to automated testing, refactoring and improving
code quality; we want every commit to leave the code a little better than we
found it while shipping compelling new features to our users every sprint.

Our interview process consists of a phone screen followed by a half day on-site
interview of three 45 minute sessions covering algorithmic thinking, system
design/architecture and hands-on coding, then a talk with an engineering manager
about culture, fit and career goals. We’re respectful of candidate’s time, so we
try to extend offers within a couple of working days.

But he's also not forced to use the latest version of Android. Apple however doesn't make every latest version available for every device. They have a cut-off. And that's all fine and normal and everyone accepts it. So, say a 4S won't run iOS 10.

So lets be clear, apple has no problem stopping you from running the latest iOS.

But they do let you install iOS9, which makes a 4S totally shite slow.

They don't have a problem stopping you from running a recent version. They just have a problem stopping you from running the version that will make your phone shit, and then preventing you from going back to the previous version.

they deliberately "brick" phones. they don't have to let you run iOS9, just because its the latest version. The iPhone 3 couldn't run iOS9. And they don't mind making it so that the 4S can't run iOS10. So why not say iOS8 is the cut-off for 4S? Well, because the 4S could run iOS8 and still be useable, and then you wouldn't need to buy a new fucking phone.

So the very last version they let^H^H^H force you to install is the one that'll make it shit.
FastMail | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Systems Engineer | ONSITE, FULL-TIME

FastMail provides email services that are fast, rock solid, and built on the ever-evolving Internet standards. (And we’re part of that process of improvement, with initiatives like JMAP.)

We’re looking for an Systems Engineer to join the FastMail team in our Philadelphia office, to work on FastMail, Pobox, and our newest service, Topicbox. You’ll be maintaining and building the infrastructure that runs our services, working across all parts of the stack with other people, to help development, product and support teams.

Some specific technologies we use (don’t worry about ticking every box on the list): Debian and SmartOS; Chef, Consul, Cyrus, Postfix, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, and plenty of software starting with other letters of the alphabet, too; you’ll definitely end up needing to write some shell, Perl, and Ruby.

Um, so how does not having a facility, which is probably required to give care, all of the sudden eliminate all of the equipment and regulatory requirements? I mean, don't you think the equipment and the regulation is probably there for a reason..?
