What is the fundamental nature of a login page?

Is a login page a first-order feature of a site, a real piece of functionality that should have its own url (aka `/login`)?

Or.....

Is a login page just one possible state of an actual page? For example, if you have a secret dashboard page at `/secret-dashboard`, and Bob is logged in he would see his dashboard data, while if Suzy was logged in she would see different data for her (different pages). Doesn't it follow that a non-logged-in user would simply be presented their "data", which in this case would be no data at all and a login page instead? All while the url stays at `/secret-dashboard`.

This would still allow being able to directly visit a login page (as the article recommends) by simply going to any protected url.
While it can't handle the email part, at least mine nowadays handles the password field. I use KeePassXC-Browser (connecting to KeePass despite the name) and it recognizes the password field even if I entered the email in an (annoying) extra step.

Isn’t it a colossal shame that in China we have thousands of empty high rises, and in the Bay Area we have a housing crisis where you can find a dozen people packed into a single family home? Both a result of obviously broken policy choices on both sides of the Pacific.

Hell, the Chinese are even willing to buy property here! But instead of us building high rises to sell them, so there would be plenty of housing to go around (and improve the trade balance to boot), they are bidding up the prices of those single family homes.
Unfortunately, the trend is in the opposite direction. People have realized that email validation is a step in the funnel where you lose users. And when you look at it as a funnel conversion optimization problem, you arrive at myopic conclusions that are insecure and have externalities like the one you noticed.
They want to get a multibillion dollar deal done in a global economic center, and a few phone calls to one guy was enough for them to stop pursuing it? Pretty weak if that's the case.

I understand this is nitpicking, but it's not accurate to say "RISC-V has speculative execution" or "ARM has OoO execution" and that they therefore suffer from spectre and friends.

RISC-V/ARM are specifications of instruction sets, for which there exists an enormous domain of possible implementations. Spectre/Meltdown are not inherent features of Instruction set architectures. They are emergent properties of certain implementations of those instruction set architectures.

For example, the BOOM implementation of RISC-V does out of order execution. The Rocket chip implementation does not. Both implement the RISC-V architecture.

I'm not replying to you specifically. But I see this sort of thing on HN all the time and I feel like it's an important distinction to make.

What you mean is forward ray tracing. But "ray tracing" usually refers to the variant sending rays from the camera as forward ray tracing is almost never used.

Ray casting on the other hand is basically ray tracing without any reflections or shadows, in other words each ray stops with the first collision.

>Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. If he wants a new HQ he can buy the real estate at full price. Americans need to stand up to the frankly disgusting idea that we should be giving him money.

I feel like all of the people saying that Amazon should pay full price because Bezos is rich are missing the point. His wealth is almost entirely in stock, which the valuation of is heavily dependent on how Amazon does quarter to quarter. He's seen a 25% decrease in most of his wealth vs. where it was last year.

He's not the richest person because Amazon is generated boatloads of cash and handing it to him, so it's not like he can redirect that into buying real estate. Nor can he sell a ton of his shares without potentially losing a controlling interest in the company.

He's obviously exceedingly wealthy, but in practicality, the majority of his net worth is unavailable to him as long as he wants to continue running Amazon without any chance of interference or veto, and basically none of it is available to make an impact on this sort of decision.

The merits of any incentives should be based on the economic realities of the situation, plain and simple. Do the tax breaks result in a net positive for the city, based on generated tax revenue, new jobs, both from Amazon and those providing service to Amazon employees, from the new housing that must be built to support the population increase, etc.

I don't know if they do. Maybe this would be an amazing deal for NYC. Maybe it would be a terrible deal. I'm not qualified to make a real judgment there. But the 'Bezos and Amazon are rich, why should we give them anything' is just more populist rhetoric, which we need to get out of our politics. It's toxic as hell.

You do realize that many networks use DNS security products, right?

These networks block all DNS traffic to 'random' DNS servers, including 8.8.8.8 to prevent any number of different attacks. The security device can examine the DNS packet and say 'youtube.com = allowed', or 'yourtube.com = not allowed'. It can also to the reverse "if youtube.com 'expected_ip_set' then allow". By requiring this device to use outside DNS servers you are punching holes in the network for no particularly valid reason.

Unfiltered and uncontrolled DNS is a security risk. I can transmit all your company information out of your network easily with DNS queries.

It is already implied by relativity that time doesn't flow. You cannot choose a definition of "now" that some other observer who is moving relatively to you would agree with. Under relativity, observers will disagree about which events are happening simultaneously. So if there are two observers in the universe, the notion of a "global now" is incompatible with relativity.

If some particular observer's definition of "now" could be determined to be the "right" one by some experiment, that would reject the equivalence principle, which is the foundation of relativity. In other words, not likely to happen.

Using this principle one can build a conceptual "chain of simultaneity" between observers that extends arbitrarily far into the future or past.

It is no surprise, then, that physics doesn't have a concept of "now". In all physical equations, time is a free parameter, which we can set to any value, and those equations will tell us what we should expect to observe at that time. Physical equations do not reify any particular "t".

The fact that time seems to "flow" subjectively for us is an artifact of the fact that information can't (that we know of) flow from the future to the past, therefore at any given slice of time for a given observer, the past appears "set" (the observer has information/measurements about it that confine its possible states), but the future appears undetermined (there are no available direct measurements of it).

Why information can't flow from the future to the past is an extremely interesting question that is not terribly well answered, especially given that the laws of the universe are time-symmetrical. I think most physicists would posit that it has something to do with the perplexingly low entropy of the big bang, statistically mandating that later states must have higher entropy, thus birthing the second law of thermodynamics and giving rise to the "arrow of time".

Why specifically the Second Law would prevent the flow of even a single bit of information travelling into the past is not clear to me. As the article points out, Deutsch 1991 showed us that grandfather paradoxes don't exist once you factor in quantum mechanics. This is a question that has captivated me for many years.

Human moral development is the outburst of violence and ultimately the victors defining virtue and morality and law. All one has to do is look at ww2 to see this.

"Eons ago we discovered through this cycle that rape and murder are wrong and should be met with cutting the offender off from society permanently."

When did we discover this? Our greatest heroes are murderers and rapists.

"75 years ago we discovered that systematic genocide and wars for land are wrong and should never be tolerated."

Or the countries that committed the most systematic genocide and stole the most land decided that such behavior shouldn't be tolerated since they have the most to lose now.

Laws, virtue, morality, etc are all nonsense the victors created to protect their own self interests. The human experience is that of selfishness and hypocrisy and violence. There is no virtue, laws or morality without the threat of violence. The world order is buttressed by armies not by morality, laws or virtue. Always has been and always will be.

Thank you for the link and I may have come off a bit harsh with that last sentence.

Having some feature like this for the web would in itself be good, just claiming a key in the hash part just for this would (and I know that hash doesn't really have a format so "it's not a key" etc, but it does gets used that way).

A proposition: instead of using plain 'targetText' how about having some prefix for all Chromium's claims in the hash part so that the front-end (framework) developers can filter these out without needing to keep a list?

Good luck!

What's weird about this application is that there is no field asking what the business is. There are a lot of questions around that (why is now a good time, who is your target customer), but there is no elevator pitch. As well, a lot of the questions are focused on which businesses your customers are, is B2C not a thing?
Skipped the intro, watched 10 minutes on my break as a part-time barista and it's great so far.
Instead they wasted how much time and money on a fake search, only to have the whole thing blow up in their face.

The idea that they had to do this out of "obligation to shareholders" is ridiculous. Amazon has avoided profit in search of growth for decades. For a supposedly long term thinking company this was a misstep.

This is a weird way to describe keyloggers if that is actually what they are talking about.

The random order I don't understand either unless the "keylogger" is also recording mouse positions.

Otherwise, if this is actually talking about over shoulder lookers it probably has the exact opposite effect because of the increased time require to enter a password.

What a lot of people don't realize is Manhattan in 2018 still has less people living in it then it did in 1950. The massive immigration of young working people in the 1920s led to large scale development high density housing.

Living costs were out of control and people lived 8 to a room in extremely unsafe tenements but the upside is the city's housing and transportation infrastructure was built for a capacity it still has not yet claimed back today.

For better or for worse, doctors are very well respected in the USA. Socialized medicine is normally associated with a loss in respect to that profession.

I personally think that a huge problem in our medical system is the lack of staff. And this is an area that virtually everyone should be able to agree too. Its no major policy change, its simply the acknowledgement that we need more nurses in our hospitals, especially as Baby Boomers retire and age.

There are major policy questions: physician assisted suicide, contraceptives, abortion, etc. etc. But I'm not pushing any of that. I'm simply stating one area where I'm almost certain every American can agree with me on (once they look at the stats).

We need more nurses. Its the most logical way forward. If you want socialized medicine, whatever, we'll also need more nurses for that to work anyway. So it doesn't matter if you are socialist, capitalist, communist, legalist or whatever, the nurse shortage is real and obvious. Immigration can serve as a band-aid to the nurse problem. We import nurses from other countries, while trying to figure out how to convince Americans to enter nursing degrees.
Amazon already has a pretty big distro center presence just across the river in NJ. I'm sure they would not be too happy if those guys unionized and started demanding humane working conditions.
The Chinese stock market is not incredibly appealing given the constant whiplash and regular confidence crises in listed companies. But it is difficult, if not impossible, for your average Chinese person to invest outside of the country.

Housing is used as an investment vehicle in the US, but the amount of capital sloshing within China looking for a return makes the effect much worse over there.
I think a lot of us forget that there is an economic multiplier occurring when a company of Amazon's magnitude comes and sets-up shop. There are also clear benefits from having educated individuals setting-up shop in your city. Not accounting for all the other ways that taxes and commerce exist for companies of that size (E.g. Payroll tax, etc)

I agree that there are some negative factors that have to be accounted for that are not associated with the subsidies. I also find it unnecessary for a place like NY to be provide that degree of subsidies since it already has a quite robust environment full of successful businesses.

I think the US would be better off having Amazon's HQ2 in another area of the country (a combo of North Carolina/Virginia maybe?) to diversify the country's technological output from California & NY.
The “solution” to rape and murder is to have a state strong enough to monopolize violence and eliminate offenders.

The “solution” to wars for land is to have an empire effectively own all the land such that any attempt of conquest is a local conflict that will be pacified by the empire.

Genocide is more complicated as it can often be in the interest of the state. The fact that we haven’t engaged in genocide in 75 years is indeed curious.

Still, I question your theme of moral progress. History would suggest that it will go the other way as the empire inevitably starts to weaken.
You can generally do this pretty closely digitally by taking the left and right channels of a stereo track and inverting the phase on one of them. Since the vocals are usually panned center (as you said), the inverted phase ends up destructively cancelling them. Depending on how the instrumentation was mixed, usually the instruments are left pretty in-tact.

Apple, Facebook, and Google all meet the requirements for the Excelsior Jobs Program ( https://esd.ny.gov/excelsior-jobs-program ) which is where 2.5 billion of the 3 came from for the Amazon deal.

I have no personal knowledge of whether or not the three are utilizing it, but it would seem unlikely to me that three smart businesses would not be taking advantage of some easy to quality for tax credits, which means it's likely they are taking 5/6ths of the same amount of tax breaks that Amazon was planning to.
Visa/MC are probably going to try to target the margin that fintech startups have able to eek out at the lower end of the card processing market.

From their perspective, the fact that companies like Stripe and Square have been able to obtain unicorn valuations for card processing services means that there's money left on the table. Card processing was a basic commodity business before these guys. Somehow, Stripe et al have been able to convince a large swath of customers to accept 2.9% + $0.30.

Did you know that interchange on most debit cards is just 0.05% + $0.22?[1] That's massive margin.

Visa/MC is like, sorry Stripe, don't try to play our game on our platform. We invented it. (Somewhat cynically you could argue this is why Stripe spends a lot of time/resources on "big thinking" and kind of puffing themselves up into more than a "card processor". It's part of the sell.)
