I have Huawei Maimang 5.

Huawei makes somewhat pricey, but boring mid-range products.

They sell so well around the world because they caught on consumer trends that are near invisible to most American marketing people, let alone SV based ones.

They target the rapidly growing global middle class.

I went out of my way to couch that in 'if this plays a role in your decisions' to try to avoid this impression. Some people are straight looking at the financial figures, and others have an ethical component to their investment. The comment was for that second audience.

That said, I'm not sure how viable this third approach is, of basing investment decisions upon the emotional response to perceived interpretation of a single stranger's anonymous internet comment.

On the surface it looks somewhat like an equivalent of including ethics in the decision making process, if one were to boil ethics down into simply an emotional response. I'm sure a lot of people see things that upset them as 'wrong' and things they approve of as 'right', without evaluation of any independent standard.

But however one interprets ethics, it doesn't really factor into this third process because it's not based on the company, it's based on a reaction to an individual (or more likely, a categorization of an individual). This is just putting your money where your 'hate' is (perceived virtue signaling by stranger), without consideration of the company.

This type of decision making process opens the potential for a lot of manipulation of the decision maker. Maybe in a few years an advertising program will pick up on this in some form of behavioral analysis of the decision maker's internet activity. Perhaps it interprets similar comments and then tracks it to actual decisions, creating an archetype of the personality that can be driven in such a manner.

Then it starts the targeting. Maybe at first it promotes some posts but not others into the decision maker's field of view to ensure an appropriate pre-disposition. EG, if virtue signaling is the trigger, it identifies and promotes these to put the decision maker into a rebellious state of mind. Then it forces the trigger with some specific advice designed to gain a similar reaction to what it has seen from this decision maker in the past.

Not to bring social credit back into it, but by way of comparison, the above is only a mildly dark pattern in algorithmically driven social and psychological manipulation. It's also probably a lot less likely to occur in the next decade.

Follow the money. In this case, the money is in the bus system. You only need one set of buses and drivers if you stagger school starts. Overlapping school starts means overlapping demand for buses.
Not true. django-rest-framework is so well adopted and widespread and it lets you very quickly put together a REST service. If you just want to talk json/xml/whatever with your client, it is easy. But the really cool thing about DRF is how it simply generalizes some of the concepts that already existed in in Django. If you started in Django and learned about Form and ModelForm, you can easily pick up DRF Serializers and ModelSerializers to get input validation.

With django channels, you can also very easily break away from wsgi and have real time services, web sockets, all talking with your Django code.

There is no "focus on older web paradigms". Django may have been slower to get things that other shiny JS frameworks already have, but this is only because Django had already successfully been used in projects of different sizes and it could not succumb to CADT.
But birth control, condoms, and abortions are NOT given as a tool to most young people in America. Looking at Ohio specifically (where Jordan's school is),

Schools don't have to tell kids that birth control exists, let alone show them how to properly use a condom (which is a non-trivial skill: condoms are 98% effective when put on properly but 85% effective in real life)

Schools don't have to tell kids abortion exists. Even if kids did know, their parents can block them from getting an abortion. Also, getting an abortion requires traveling to a clinic, which often requires a car.
This is a terribly uncharitable (downright hostile) interpretation of jerfs’ actually thoughtful response.

It’s not about free-riding. The grandparent posted, “I read this and I am completely confused about what to do with the rest of the time I have left. Should I even bother with...” and there’s a lot in jerfs’ response which I hope GP reads and reflects on.

The world is saturated with imminent disaster. Perhaps the entire universe hangs on a thread.

The way we (humans) get out of it, and they way we always have, is not nihilistic defeatism. In the face of continuous doomsday prophecy, the optimal individual response is absolutely to tune it completely out and focus on becoming the best you can be at that thing that you do.

And throwaway5752 you trying to moralize that jerfs is “the worst kind of free-rider” is an asinine ad hominem attack that I’d say only amplifies the underlying truth of how important it is to tune out voices like yours.
Alright, 2FA tokens came up the other day on HN and now we have this. Time to make the switch.

Yubikey 4 / Feitian looks interesting, but it seems it only works in Chrome with Gmail etc. etc.

Anyone have any thoughts on solutions that include Safari on Mac and/or iOS? The NEO claims NFC support but I doubt that works on iOS.
VS Code and Hyper both use the same upstream emulator library (xterm.js [1]), so at least a lot of the wheel "reinvention" in this space is a communal effort.

I recently bought the "Huawei Mate SE 4G LTE" for my parents because they needed a phone upgrade. I thought I was buying a bargain phone at less than $205 USD, and it turns out it actually is really good. Strange how good it is at that price.

I'm confused about this line aren't you bound by the GPL too once you accept any contributions to the library while it's GPL'd?

Consumer/enterprise Google accounts have supported U2F and the Google Authenticator app for quite some time. I have SMS completely eliminated as a factor on my GMail account (Yubikey primary with codes from the app as a fallback; no way to authenticate via SMS at all).
Society is entirely responsible for that.
> everyone knows this fac

And you can be completely fine and have plenty of resources for all 5 kids until your wife gets cancer and you drop 1 million dollars of medical expenses into that money pit and then she dies anyway. Now you have 5 kids, single income, and way less than no money.

Strangers on the internet say it’s your fault.

Enjoy

Well I guess it’s your fault for having kids in a country with scant social safety nets. So you’re kinda right
Smart. I'm amazed that there isn't one for iMessage as well. Most of the world has replaced SMS with either iMessage or Whatsapp, would be great to have both.
> Its a good thing, but let's be clear about why it's valuable.

It's valuable because the American Right has been making a sustained and successful attack on the integrity, stability, and viability of poor families for at least three decades (and other powerful forces, whose modern incarnation is also part of the American Right, has been doing so to families of color, who are disproportionately poor, since America was colonized.)

It is true that addressing that cause is useful in thinking about more complete, comprehensive long-term solutions.
None of those references are primary sources or peer reviewed. I've also personally never heard of "the incomer". I feel like I'd prefer to take those claims with a grain of salt. It feels like a lot of work to try and spend time digging in to whether this is true or not.

It might be true - but this doesn't feel like a credible source.
But keep in mind this, as another comment here mentions:

Apple is typically #1 in profit, but Samsung beats them on volume.

This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Apple puts almost no effort towards building low end phones with thin profit margins. It's a huge market that has to be filled by other vendors.
You are not required to use Django's templating engine. It works great with React, Vue, Angular, etc. if you use Django Rest Framework as the intermediary.

I want to learn about crypto and am looking for an opportunity to work on some tool to serve the space. I'm particularly interested in creating a trading bot but open to other ideas as well. I'm good at tech (have shipped for Kleiner Perkins, worked in the Obama WH, etc) but have little knowledge on crypto and trading strategies. I'm not interested in a fulltime role.
If you're considering "investment" as included in GDP, it's not just "saving money", it's "business spending on depreciable assets", essentially. Owning a share of Apple doesn't make you "an investor" in the GDP sense, but Apple does a lot of investment.

I'm not sure that "rich hoarders" have an appreciable positive impact on business investment in depreciable assets. Most capital assets are purchased to produce goods and services to meet demand, which might be stimulated more by redistribution.
It's a just enormous project for incrementally better versions of stuff that people barely use anyway.

2. Digital platforms are a pretty standard element of business on the internet today, but a lot of us don't recognize them as such. And a lot of businesses don't yet understand what they can do beyond helping process payment. I look forward to watching this symbiosis develop.
They will be sold to a rich "private collector" who will keep them for a few generations then they'll be returned. The "private collector" will likely not have any issues with their moral turpitude.
What if the immortal soul causally interacts with the observable reality? You cannot define away that possibility.
As a digital nomad that swaps sim cards for cheap data, this is good news. I hope most business adopt a WhatsApp option. IME most developing nations have 10+Mbps LTE for $3 GB and useless wifi. International roaming is crap because you need to be on the right network depending on the town.

Proxy re-encryption (PRE) is a form of public key encryption that allows a semi-trusted proxy to transform ciphertext from being encrypted under one key to another, without learning anything about the underlying plaintext. A "re-encryption key" is used by the proxy to do this transformation.

Umbral is a split-key version of PRE, which splits the re-encryption key into many shares. A threshold number of these shares are then required to re-encrypt the data (similar to Shamir’s Secret Sharing).

Here's a post describing split-key threshold proxy re-encryption in slightly more detail: https://blog.nucypher.com/unveiling-umbral-3d9d4423cd71

With money comes mobility, so people are free to move somewhere cheaper. Currently, those in the poverty cycle are trapped and chronically stressed, making it quite difficult to execute a plan that involves anything more than what's right in front them—moving out of city or out of state is out of the question.

One of the biggest problems facing humanity is sustainability towards the planet. Unbounded population growth eventually breaks everything we all need to survive. If we incentivize having children more than it already is, some people will spawn just to get at that extra money for themselves and do the bare minimum to "raise" their children. And the kind of person that does that does not raise stable, healthy children who will come into their own as productive, healthy members of society...
I do agree - climate change is a massive problem with thousands of facets, trillions of dollars at stake, and stakeholders including everyone from all global citizens, all global creatures/environments, and all businesses/governments. It's truly the biggest crisis we've ever faced as a species.

In my view, on rich vs poor nations, if China handled its emissions much earlier and more aggressively, we'd still have massive historical emissions and massive per capita emissions in North America and Europe. Rich people tend to decry those not using renewables and not transitioning quickly, however it's easier to transition/decarbonize with EVs and solar PV and energy efficiency when your economy is already developed. Long commutes, western diets, leisure travel, copious heating and air conditioning, and many other factors are not present in other countries which still have "dirty" economies with longer ways to go to both energize their entire populace AND to clean up said energy sources. So, westerners should look in the mirror before they criticize those people just getting electricity or their first car in the last decade.

The rays of hope I see for climate change come from the potential for energizing nations to skip over total fossil fuel dependence in their industrialization and modernization schemes. Furthermore, there are bright spots in electric buses (huge wave of these will come in next decade), in renewable deployments (~2/3 of capacity additions in recent years in USA), and in overall business movement towards low carbon solutions. While national and state policy-makers could move more quickly, surely, there is a lot of innovation occurring in the private and local levels.

Long term, even if we decarbonize very quickly due to technological innovations and S-curves, I foresee needing to use environmental engineering techniques to cool the planet. While risky, I think the level of economic and societal harm from the heating/expansions of the oceans and further ice melt will necessitate some sort of artificial cooling of the planet.

While some may deem this as unethical or playing God with our planet, IMO we've already irrevocably changed our planet's heat content. We need to not only pull our foots of the accelerator, reducing emissions of GH gases, but we also need to put our foots on the brake, somehow cooling the planet and/or sequestering previous emissions. If we don't take these latter steps, no amount of decarbonization will prevent catastrophes of hurricanes, fires, flooding, desertification, and sea-level-rise in the next countless generations.
>> What's wrong with having UBI for 2 years and then suddenly having it cut off?

re: Ontario's cancelled "experiment" - the recipient they talked to felt she had been "betrayed" and "wasn't going to be able to make ends meet"

So after less than 2 years it transformed from a narrow experiment into a entitlement, like many (most?) government programs. It was no longer treated as a "top-up" but a core component of survival.

It seems to make sense that a fixed-limit benefit would prevent this, but history shows that a non-trivial percentage of recipients just use it as a reprieve from the inevitable.
Pinterest uses Django.
>In the UK, a back-of-a-napkin calculation showed that all current benefits equally divided into a single BI would be around £4K,

Does that back-of-a-napkin calculation include the savings you'd get by shutting down most of the government bureaucracy involved in administration of current benefits and not paying salaries to all those government workers? In any country, a huge amount of the money spent on benefits are used just for administration. With UBI, you can get rid of all those workers and use the money for UBI instead.
Well because Apple's main business isn't to provide access of information. And there is very little difference between an iPhone experience in China and iPhone experience to US.

The same could not be said about Google.
Linux kernel 4.18 delayed: Bug ate my rc7, says Linus Torvalds
Depends on the attacker and target. Many of the cell towers are insecure. Even today the SS7 attack works on many of them, and phones continue to blindly trust insecure cell towers. For a tech-central place like SV, you get a pretty good return on some risky cell tower setups. Unfortunately most developers don't utilize multiple phone numbers, so a mapping between email and phone number is frequently in some semi-public database.

Of course if you have a 0day RCE its possible to get the SMS as well. Even local malware on the computer that you're entering the code into could work if you're an identified target. Many protocol downgrade attacks are possible too, though I'd wager most developers would notice the lack of HTTPS in the browser bar.

And of course social engineering the cell phone company. Though if you call you can put a flag on your account to make it harder to transfer numbers.
