You don't need multiple authenticators. The right thing to do is print multiple copies of your one-time emergency backup codes (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1187538) and put them in many places. Wallet, car, house, parents' house, etc. You only have to do this once. The codes are useless without your password and you can revoke them at any time if you really need to, so spread them widely and then you won't ever have to worry about losing your authenticator.
My company has a tuition assistance program that allowed me to complete an MS and PhD, while working full-time. Took 10 years. Loved it!

And, it wasn't just the money that helped, it was also that they supported continuing education.
I am not on any side in this battle, but the issue was closed only once, and after users disagreed with the author's reasoning for why it behaved the way it did, the author fixed it the same day it was closed...

Doesn't seem as bad as you are portraying it... certainly not "lost all its reputation for [you]" bad?
Right. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but a stint at Goldman would be looked on favourably by any of the Fortune 500.
I guess this would be a good way to operate dunning-kruger.com, but if you want your site to stay up this seems problematic. If you introspective application forms some belief about "usual" memory usage when it's idle an unloaded, and you suddenly shift all of your traffic from another datacenter to this one, and the heap usage on that application increases by 10x, then all your replicas will suicide.
Yes - we bootstrapped Kapwing for months before deciding to raise. It wasn't an easy decision, but I think it was the right one for us at this point in our career. I wrote a post on this topic on the Kapwing blog you can check out.
The email is interesting but maybe consider removing fred from it?
Not just the sound, but the expressiveness. Electric kits do not create noise directly from the performance of the drummer. There is a layer of interpretation and mapping to sound. So they can only reproduce sounds pre-programmed into them according to variation that their senors are designed to respond to. Acoustic kits are making noise because of the physical properties of the kit itself. So you will always be able to find sounds on an acoustic kit you cannot reproduce on an electric kit. And the range of expression present on an acoustic kit will always be infinitely greater than an electric kit.

Full disclosure: I own an electric kit.

Which isn't a problem for you and me, but is for the kind of person that was attracted to it because it's easier than nginx+certbot, as I said in my initial comment. I saw 2 major users of it: this kind of user, and people wanting a small simple thing to stick in their container-based setup for HTTPS/reverse proxy duties. The latter more or less automatically updated to container images that do the build instead of loading a binary and didn't have a problem with even having to consider paying. For the first it was a problem, especially since the cost wasn't really in the ballpark of "I'd happily pay that to host a small blog".
> but I don't see what this company in particular has done.

They've developed a special formulation of vape juice that causes a much more dramatic spike in blood nicotine levels, which experts confirm increases the risk of addiction dramatically compared to the gentle plateau of blood nicotine caused by other vaping products [0].

Maybe this is beneficial on net (Juul confirms outright that the nicotine spike is the entire point of their formula, but they say it's intentional to help people quit smoking) but don't try to muddy the issue by claiming they're being singled out for no reason.

Yeah, I call water hydrogen ash.
> The most recent complaint ... came from the mother of a 15-year-old, [who] became “heavily addicted to nicotine,” the suit claims, making him “anxious, highly irritable and prone to angry outbursts,” and perform poorly in school.

> Juul use was pervasive at the school, including on the school bus, in bathrooms, outside school, and even in class

> In order to deter his use, the complaint says the teenager’s parents removed the door from his bedroom, locked parts of their house, instructed school officials not to let him use the bathroom unaccompanied, and subjected D.P. to regular urine tests.

> Yet despite all these measures, D.P. is unable to stop Juuling.

I can't help reading into this completely different story. It reminds me of dialogues in R.D.Laing book when he questions the patient and his relatives, and you can't tell who's "ill".

But even if it's accurate account on mother's part, why not to sue the school where they vape on a schoolbus?

edit: missed words
I think my point, was:

A. All advice, is just a prediction of the future, based on prior results. As we don't know the future, we should be cautious of making business decisions solely from advice.

B. Advisors are making predictions off their prior knowledge. As each persons prior knowledge doesn't fit the exact situation, you have to weight the advice based on how close the match is.

There are times where someone has suggested - "You can do X to test assumption Y." OR "Why not pivot into Z?" Of course there have been good outcomes and counter examples, but that wasn't the point. The point of my statement and the article, was you are the one responsible, so don't passively accept advice; actively think about it's merits.

Also, as an aside there's no reason to bring up "American Individualism". IMO that comes off like you're looking through a lens, specifically against it. As opposed to looking at merits of the discussion and questioning them. There's no point in thinking what a Japanese business leader would think, vs a Syrian refugee or American Entrepreneur - the advice in the article and my comment is to be wary of advice (laying out reasons). This is all regardless of culture, race, or creed.
Yup, when I bought my BMW they asked if I wanted to pre-pay for all the maintenance. Oil changes, spark plugs, wiper blades, even brake pads and rotors. I sat there and did the math, and the price they quoted was less than the cost of just the oil changes alone, it was a no-brainer.

One thing Apple doesn't have in their favor, cars need regular on-going maintenance. Computers don't.
Nobody here would deny the business value of gluing APIs together. We're not asking for your empathy, either; but we are telling you the truth about the difference between where the bar was and where it is now.

The idea that "computers are fast, my code just needs to work" is a really really horrible way to treat your users' devices. A whole host of similar ideas are now popular, and it's pretty obvious that it's because the industry is now dominated by people that are (just) good at gluing things together. This is a bad thing.

Almost all projects are likely to fail. The key tenet of venture investment is investing in 500 companies, and have 499 fail, while one would give a 1000x return.

A "retail" investor is likely not able to follow this strategy, so people who would invest in a few apparently great projects via blockchain technologies may be in for disappointment.

But I don't see why small-scale venture investment via an appropriate technology could not work. Invest $10 in 500 companies, get $10k back... eventually.
Here's a radical idea: get rid of the stock market and public ownership of stock.

The only way to become an owner of a company is by being an employee. Essentially, all companies become co-ops. Investment of capital would happen through long-term relationships with banks, not through selling pieces of the company off to creeps who want outrageous returns at the expense of the employees/customers.

Instead of short-term gains, people now focus on 10, 20, and 50-year plans. Employees can democratically elect their leadership (or any other internal system can be set up).

The stock market and public ownership in general seems like an incredible waste of resources and focus.
What's a kernel-style transformation? That term is unfamiliar to me? Are you referring to e.g.: optimizing stencil kernels?

You're correct that classical semantics-preserving compiler optimizations are very restricted, when not user guided as in the OP's tool. They do not have any form of specification weaker than the input code. This is why most synthesis tools do take something higher level than code.

Then again, some really do have the workflow "figure out existing code's algorithm, and pick a better one." The first thing in this space that comes to mind is verified lifting, being pursued by my collaborators at UW.
No, that's where you lose me. If you're using 1Password to generate passwords in the first place, then I really don't see how using it for TOTP accomplishes anything. To me, it looks like you could literally concatenate the TOTP secret to the 1Pw-generated password and have the same level of security.
I don't think cryptographic authentication will help very much.

It's probably safe to assume that most people susceptible to fake news are computer-illiterate. Or at least, not as technical as the HN crowd. Why would normal people suddenly start listening to some nerd mumbo-jumbo they don't understand?

It's fucked-up because there are very, very few ways to actually get into the US legally.

And in this case they're not giving educated people preference. They didn't come here on a rule that says that people with postgraduate degrees get to come to the US. They came here on a student visa because coming here on a student visa is one of the few ways to get in at all, and it just so happens that a student visa can be upgraded to an H1-B later if the student lands a job with a company willing to sponsor them.

I'd recommend reading this flowchart which explains in detail how fucked-up our immigration system is:

https://reason.com/assets/db/07cf533ddb1d06350cf1ddb5942ef5a...

Interestingly enough, it doesn't mention coming here on a student visa and then upgrading to an H1-B; it's basically the only loophole around that depressing flowchart. Vox's slideshow on immigration, though, does link the flowchart and mention student visas are one of the only other ways to get in (the other is a tourist visa, which is useless for immigration because you can't upgrade, and you'll be denied a tourist visa if the US thinks you're interested in immigrating):

There was a time Apple geniuses would recommend going to the 3rd party authorized repair shops because they could offer better and faster service, while still being covered under warranty. There was a period where Apple was growing and the 3rd party authorized repair shops also were doing really well.

It seems at some point Apple decided they wanted to bring everything in house, and that’s when these started drying up. Now it’s hard to get anything other than basic repairs done, and if it’s a phone, not come back with a replacement refurbished phone which is almost certainly in worse shape than the phone you took in.
And then there is some ARM and RISC-V, those could become viable.

Another thought: Citizen bounties like this might also be less likely to engender corruption.
If Google has an internal offensive pen test team, I assume they would likely disagree with that statement, esp. since Chrome allowed (maybe still allows?) to read Yubikey info via WebUSB for instance - only one click in UI that was the mitigation.

If Google would authorize external hackers (eg via bug bounty), it probably would take about 2-4 hours to phish an account successfully. :)
The point is they are also killing their authorized repair program.
I had to stop reading that because of how accurate it was.

Doesn't the cost of these advanced repairs kind of negate the value of getting your device repaired versus just replacing the whole thing (or parts)?

I'm sure Apple has done lots of cost benefit analysis and found that it's way cheaper to just replace an iPhone motherboard than it is to pay someone skilled at SMD repair to find the bad component(s) and replace them.
Thanks, George. Now please get noise violations on the NYC cars that pollute our air with pealing horns. Cab drivers especially seem to spend their entire shift impotently honking.
That's why we have doctors, to weigh the risks versus benefits and prescribe treatment in the patient's best interest.

I suspect that some of the worst side effects might have genetic risk factors. Hopefully researchers will determine whether people with particular genes are at greater risk of suffering mental problems from Ambien.
I really dislike this at stoplights. It would be tolerable if there were a smart traffic grid and the cars could subscribe to get a notice at (45 seconds down to the multiple of shutdown interval duration div 2 and floored to seconds); of course if you did THAT street racing would use it as a starting line signal so it'll never happen.

Alternatively electrics only really turn all the way on when accelerating so something with at least an electric drive system is going to be the medium range solution.
I was born in Crimea and speak Russian fluently. I'm an American citizen.

> I would say about 50% of our customers are paying with the department credit card, and the other 50% buy it using their personal card.

Is this your way to determine if it is for business or personal use? Often in small companies and startups people use their personal credit cards for business purchases. Even in some bigger companies they do that, they just invoice it later separately.
The accessibility of testing code in Rust is one of the best parts of the tooling IMO.

One concern I have is my wife's subaru has an I mode and an S mode. I mode is supposed to be the fuel efficient mode, yet I have never gotten better mileage in I than S. It feels to me this mode must have something to do with smog/emissions rather than fuel economy.

> Imagine if we treated things like schizophrenia the same way we do autism. We better stick every single religious individual that claims to be able to communicate with or hear the voice of god on antipsychotics and scheduled 'treatment', as they're clearly on the scale.

You seem to be under the impression that all autism, regardless of location on the spectrum, is treated the same way (and that way invariably involves heavy medication).

Between this and your "I knew a kid once" original post, I get the strong impression that you know very little about autism or autistic people, and are forming strong opinions based on little more than rumor and anecdote.
The 3rd most important idea in computer science
Oh that's funny, I didn't even notice that... "Guess who's the goofy American in this photo!"

Passport photos aside (which really do require a neutral face, even in the US), Russians do not smile in public or to strangers the way we do in the US. Smiling in public is seen as a sign of foolishness or low intelligence. When Americans come to Russia they interpret the lack of smiles as hostility, which isn't true.
Alcohol has a non-trivial chance of making someone completely addicted to it, along with side effects that can ruin the lives of bystanders.

Does that mean no one should ever take alcohol as well?

There are more people who want to get PhDs than there are academic positions in universities.
I've learned to discount advice that starts with "I'm not an expert, but..." or "All you have to do is ...".
What you're describing as what you didn't expect is how PhDs were done traditionally. It's the more recent US model to have classes and exams.

I posed a question to my advisor in order to get onto the PhD, started researching immediately, and my 'general exam' half-way through was a presentation and viva. Obviously the question changed totally by the time I finished, but that's the nature of research and where it takes you.

I'm not sure why you'd expect to explore computer science as a whole on a PhD. The point of a PhD is to become an expert in one part of the field and to push it to expand what we know - not to gain general wide knowledge. I don't think that was ever the idea - that's what a bachelors is for.
>Something has happened to Comp Sci programs over the past 3 decades. Based on what's too small a sample size (the graduates I've been interviewing in SF) it seems like a very large number of graduates from CS programs with 3.75 GPAs or above, can't do much more than glue together libraries, can't practically design a system on their own, and if ever confronted with a graph theory problem, can't do much more than name-drop algorithms, and fall far short of being able to implement those algorithms.

Ah, one of the pain points with companies in the Bay Area.

For the longest time one obvious, if not necessarily exclusive, problem with students who can achieve a 3.75 or higher GPA is that they tend to be much better at the rote memorization of concepts, but because they didn't necessarily "slog" through stuff, have some troubles, not try to just memorize formulas and algorithms, they don't have the ability to think through problems.

What about students in the 3.0 to 3.75 GPA range? Or are they considered "too dumb" to pass the resume filter you're using?

I think recruiting around here is targeted at "best and brightest" too much, and over-simplifies just the kind of people fit that qualifier.

I remember applying for internships while I was going to SJSU and many of the top companies in the area would have a drop down selection list of "which university did you attend?" and the list would only consist of the usual top UC's and top private schools.

I'm not saying actually smart people can't come from those universities, but when you're doing things like limiting a candidate search to 3.75 or greater GPAs, or filtering based on only "top" schools, then I think the issues you're describing are going to be much more immediate than otherwise.
>> Observational studies of this type cannot show causality

>They can: sibling comparisons.

But then they get much lower concordance so they come up with various ad-hoc hypotheses to explain it, instead of acknowledging the negative result.

This is an hypothesis generating paper, using a highly suspect methods. Not a discovery.

Fair enough. The products could, and probably had, been made in good faith. But, I think the constant barrage of new products from Sega, along with the complicated hierarchy of how the products interacted with each other, burned people out.

I'd wager the bar wasn't as high back then as you think. Most people still wrote inefficient things. Lots of it. There is a hope that most of the inefficient things flat out stalled out due to needing to be much more frugal of resources, but I don't know of any data backing that.

So, seriously, do you have data showing that the bar is lower? Or are you just performing selection and survivor bias to get such a negative view? (Similarly, am I doing the same to get a positive view?)

My main qualm is people that seem to hold incoming folks to the bar that they have today, without acknowledging the growth that was necessary for some of that. As a parent, I fully know my children will be better at most everything than I am. In time. Same for most of the younger generation coming out of college into the industry. Most are or will be better than I am. Pretty much full stop.
OK, I was refering at the desktop users, the one that wipe the valid Windows installation on the PC and put Linux on it, it is not the money in this case.

For enterprise software everyone not only users but companies will first try the free stuff, but honestly even if my companies pays for a library if there is an open source alternative I will try that first because many time we hit bugs in closed source stuff and we could not fix that ourselves and the product was abandones.
I heard from someone who did it in the summer that to do that is missing the point, since at that point it's just a big forest and not very, well, Siberian.

There's little doubt that we could use some standardized terms for different eras of the Internet, but I would characterize Facebook and YouTube as harbingers of the end of the frontier days.
Why do you dislike it? The latency introduced by an „unnecessary stop“ is absolutely negligible. A second at most. Most people will regularly take longer to realize the traffic light has turned green.
Too many CS postgraduate programs just feel like engineering ones. This is why chosing a proper advisor is so important as your intentions should be aligned. Even then, there are things you might need to do to satisfy your program requirements that aren't exactly what you want to do.

Anecdoctal experience: I was offered a somewhat decent scholarship for a Master's program backed by an Oil company, but I would work on specific projects chosen by the company. I sincerely prefered to go for a program/advisor that fit my goal (more on the theoretical CS research) and no grant (the program is free here). This meant that I have to work to pay my bills and study on 'free time'. This works for me personally because I make a more than any program scholarship would pay me while acquiring some industry experience. This can work while I am doing my masters, but It is borderline impossible for a PhD program.

There are always bigger fish to fry, unless you're currently frying the biggest fish. That doesn't mean that the other fish aren't worth frying. Not everyone can or even should work on the biggest issue available; and fixing lots of smaller problems can go a long way.
