U2F is a two step process - you need to register the device first (through challenge-response process called ENROLLMENT), then you can use it by issuing authentication challenge (U2F authentication is NOT the same as user authentication, they labeled the process as ENROLLMENT - AUTH process).

During registration you receive several pieces of info, such as keyHandle, public key you use to verify future device responses and an attestation certificate so you can verify the device vendor.

The interesting part is this: when you challenge the u2f device to sign AUTHENTICATION request, what it does is keep a counter tied to your appId (the domain where the .js that deals with this is executed) and it produces encoded json which is signed by the device, using an EC private key.

The counter increases every time the device is challenged by that particular appId. The response is signed using the counter and a private key that's on the device (which you can't tamper with).

So, the phishing / mitm should have the value of private key and the moving part (counter) that's tied to a specific appId. That's difficult since it SHOULD do this during enrollment process and every subsequent authentication request.

What's important that not only does it protect against phishing but from replays too. Naturally, the u2f device isn't standalone responsible for this, the verifying server implementation is a crucial part of the process.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated by Yubico, but have implemented U2F (the dreaded js part and backend part) in 2015, several months after Chrome 38 has been released, the first version supporting u2f protocol.

When working with Amazon, you are usually referred to a solutions integrator who can't answer tough technical questions.

Amazon “Consultants” are basically useless. The ones I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with only know the netops side and the best they can do is help you do a “lift and shift”. They usually know very little about how to implement all of the other managed services AWS offers.

I was the Dev lead at a previous company with no AWS experience and they brought in “consultants” to help us move to AWS. They gave no guidance on how to actually develop a product using AWS services even though I explained in high level my proposed architecture. I could have easily cut the cost by over 60% if I had known all I know about AWS now or the consultants could have actually helped.

>The usual response to "If you can't pay more, train them!" is that, once trained, they will leave to some competitor who can pay more.

Then settle with a poorly trained workforce.

A company in this situation either needs new talent or needs to train its current workforce to match the level of their desired new talent. There's no free lunch here.

I'd argue it almost costs more money to NOT train your workforce, since you're settling for a less efficient process for the same amount of money that will only get worse when attrition (naturally) happens and you refuse to hire at a market rate.

This is a shitty, clickbait title which I'm sorry about, but the article itself is decent though verbose. And the subject matter itself seems important enough to be worth overlooking some presentation issues, and deserves public attention, even if it's not new to many here. I follow medical literature reasonably closely for a layman (I have a cousin finishing their residency soon) but while antibiotic resistance and the links to agriculture has gotten a lot of discussion and begun to reach the public at last, this is the first time I can remember hearing about this particular link to agriculture and triazole resistance. I remember reading about fungal infections a number of times over the years as a difficult class of infections, but I had assumed that no human compatible compounds were used there because they didn't boost animal size and there were hundreds of human (well probably mammal in general) bio-incompatible ones that were fine with plants.

This probably shouldn't be surprising but it's still worrisome given how few compounds there are for medical use even compared to antibiotics. At least in America for whatever reason apparently agricultural triazole use is still relatively low though increasing, so perhaps it could still be nipped in the bud so to speak.
My assessment matches yours, very few online account login systems support U2F. Heck, many don't even support using a TOTP or SMS second factor.

In general, does the state operate more or less efficiently than the market? More specifically...

What is the most efficient state run operation? What is the least efficient state run operation?

What is the most efficient market driven operation? What is the least efficient market driven operation?

My sense is that in general a market driven operation will be run more efficiently and practically than a state run operation. There may be particular instances of efficient state run operations that exist in the United States but there are always particular instances of efficient market driven operations too. Taken as a whole, we should skew towards market driven solutions.
> Does Facebook own your IP?

No, afaik it should still be owned by the startup incubator that was the parent company of Spaceport. We open-sourced some ancillary bits and pieces before leaving, but not the most important components of the platform like the ActionScript compiler, build system, Flash API implementation, and renderer/engine.

I might try to get in touch with them, but open-sourcing it wouldn’t be enough—realistically it would take most of the old team just to get it back shipshape, let alone continue adding features, and I know most of them don’t have the time or desire to do that for free 5–6 years after leaving it behind.

A modern blog theme- and this is not BOOTSTRAP
I use Gmail because I know I'm not going to be able to keep an email server secure over time. But I still have to deal with shitty newsletters and other junk. After putting up with it for too long I decided to just domain-filter people that send me newsletters. The only thing that caused me trouble was LinkedIn, where people would occasionally message me expecting a fast response. So I solved that problem by deleting my LinkedIn account. If I reset my, say, Twitter password I know where to find it.

All other email from them and countless others is useless.
Your "how it works" page has Latin boilerplate on it.
"Pay more" works fine for companies that are at the top of the pyramid: google, amazon, facebook, etc. For the rest of the employers there's a hard stop at some point well below what the top 5 are paying.

The next thing to consider is training.

Unfortunately, it is now fashionable for medium-sized businesses to be over-run with project management types that hold everyone nose to the "deliverables" grindstone and enforce performance measures that are hostile to anyone who needs to pick up new skills on job and anyone that deigns to mentor colleagues (god forbid, they slip on a trite deliverable because they were cultivating the next generation of grindstone-licker).
The silliest thing about this is that anthropogenic forest fires have been the norm in CA for thousands of years.

Seems to me bailing out the same company twice for the same mistake would be the height of idiocy.

I mean, that's tantamount to saying you'll bail out the company every year forever. You've basically telling the CEO "Don't spend $1 billion of your money on inspections and preventative maintenance so your equipment stops causing fires! Instead, destroy $15 billion of value and we'll pay for it all at no cost to yourself!"

Of course the company would accept that if someone fool offered it to them. It's super-inefficient for that fool, but the company saves a billion dollars!

This bit about EURISKO exploiting its own heuristic scoring mechanism is cute:

> One of the first heuristics that EURISKO synthesized (H59) quickly attained nearly the highest Worth possible (999). Quite excitedly, we examined it and could not understand at first what it was doing that was so terrific. We monitored it carefully, and finally realized how it worked: whenever a new conjecture was made with high worth, this rule put its own name down as one of the discoverers! It turned out to be particularly difficult to prevent this generic type of finessing of EURISKO'S evaluation mechanism. Since the rules had full access to EURISKO'S code, they would have access to any safeguards we might try to implement. We finally opted for having a small 'meta-level' of protected code that the rest of the system could not modify.

> But there are situations where I simply don't improve despite other people handling them naturally without effort

When you say you don't improve, are you referring to internally or externally, as in, are you not improving in that you can't pass for someone handling the situation, or not improving in that you can pass for handling the situation but you don't get any more comfortable?

When I actually started to improve I found that I had previously been going about it the wrong way around, where I was trying to force myself to feel comfortable hoping the cues and behaviours would come later, what actually helped was getting basic (basic to others anyway) tips and advice on how to fit into the situations and then letting the comfort and confidence come later.

Obviously we're in different life situations, but your perspective is super interesting here.
>Another problem is so many jobs say they drug test, but there is (at least not that I have found yet) not a job listing site or category for "Smiling faces" aka 'we don't test for weed in your system as long as you toke at home and don't show up with red eyes / moving slow with a bag of chips in hand.'

I'm kind of shocked this doesn't exist yet, but then again, I can understand why a company might not want to openly advertise that they don't drug test.

In my (very) limited experience, employers will usually say they drug test but never really follow up on it. It usually took me a bit more effort to find out if I was going to get tested or not, and even then it's a bit of an awkward conversation to have because it implies there's a reason you want to dodge the test.

Utilities are weird, I could easily be wrong/offbase but going after them legally always feels vaguely like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The threat of inverse condemnation just feels like short term thinking of how you interact with your utility.

Forget return on equity and shareholder returns, if you really hold a utility liable like that, not only would PG&E probably go away, I don't know how you'd get another utility to step in. I seriously think you'd need some giant Cal co-op, or you're going to have to charge seriously high prices to make it worth the risk, or go gridless, which sounds cool but infeasible at that kind of scale if you had to do it in a couple years.
