Just saw this. The legacy to your children is to sacrifice for them, be honest with them about what you did, and trust them to do better than you were able to do. Hopefully, the advantage you give them will be enough they can start making the system more fair.

It's ugly, but honor and honesty are things you need to be able to afford.

If your choice was to cheat on an arbitrary test or not be able to afford medicine for your child, it gets sticky.

This might seem intuitive but it's wrong unless your phone is really old and unpatched. Modern phones sandbox everything, often encrypted per-application (standard on iOS for many years, becoming common on Android), and they have storage classes which will not be included in backups or easily copied to a computer.

You could start to approach that on a laptop — make sure you have FDE enabled, use the operating system's sandboxing features pervasively, store secrets using the TPM, etc. but that's a huge amount of work and the attack surface for apps on your laptop is enormous, especially for developers: how many people using a system like the one described are one unlucky npm install away from sending their TOTP seed to an attacker? The equivalent attack requires a system compromise on a phone (which tend to have 7+ figure USD bounties on iOS).
No. Such a thing could only remove some kinds of checks; for example, if you see that code sample later in the thread with a manual check, it wouldn't know that's what you're doing.

In general, we don't want to make it easy to turn checks off. They get removed if the compiler can prove they're not needed; if they're there, they're almost always for good reason.
Its not even just about individual actor child predators. Its a parents responsibility to protect their child from harm - that used to just mean making sure they don't get hit by a car or burn their hand on the stove, but nowadays it means shielding them from hostile actors looking to exploit them psychologically and modern society is completely inundated in such actors. Disney, Netflix, Google, etc are all in the business of addicting your kids as a profit center. Their minds are sponges, and its so critical parents realize what you let soak in will hugely influence the person they become. I don't want to fathom how mentally damaged the kids growing up on skinner box mobile games, pregnant Elsa & Spiderman, manipulative social media, and the fruits of billion dollar ad budgets by some of the smartest men alive coming out of Disney will be. It will probably be on similar scale to how many children pre-1980 grew up with regular beatings and resource deprivation by parents leaving them bitter addled adults with endless mental illness.

I think that Tesla know enough about UTC and have a slick enough website that they could get the time right for people outside Silicon Valley, who knows people in Timbuktu could be part of the grand reveal too.
This confused me until I remembered Telsa is likely PST. EST it's 5PM.
In my experience, burn out has been less about working 12+ hours a day so much as working even a standard 40 hr workweek on something that is counter to your principles/true self. I think this is more frequently the case today because the expectation that we derive meaning and identity from our work has increased.

Show HN: With-React-Hooks
Threw myself at problems, incorrectly perceived them to be the most important goal of my life, failed to achieve results. Did this 3 times on repeat.

I guess I did not really know what "throwing myself" at something meant until after I realized I was burnt out. There's a sense of dehumanization in the process, where the goal/solution becomes bigger than you, becomes more important than anything else. The thrill and excitement of doing something challenging drives you for a while, and it seems logical to not spend time in your "personal life". You lose track of messages in your threads with friends, and once in a while respond with a "sorry I was busy" response that everyone around you has gotten used to from you. To answer more directly, one of the red flags I missed was how I let the problems take control of myself, instead of the other way around.

Got out of it by leaving the company I was working at and worked independently for about a year. Found my own pace, got back in close connection with my friends and family, focused on my relationship.
i was thinking something like that, yes
Seems like this is the appropriate way to do this - build it into a good existing system based on encryption. Thanks for sharing it!
Author here.

React Hooks are kind of cool, but they're a bit too magic because you use them in functions and functions don't have state. Classes have state, and we all understand them, so I thought it'd be nice to bring the useful parts of hooks into classes, so I built exactly that.

"When Capitol Hill screws up, tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis get killed.

When Wall Street screws up, the country is plunged into recession and poor families lose their homes.

When Silicon Valley screws up, people who want a pointless Wi-Fi enabled juicer get a pointless Wi-Fi enabled juicer. Which by all accounts makes pretty good juice."

When Silicon Valley succeeds consumers get mass surveillance of the minutiae of their lives.

Contrary to the author's statement, there is a point to the Wi-Fi enabled juicer.

For one, it can continuously gather data and can transfer it over a network to an organization that can use it strategically/monetize it.

Even saying positive things like 'Employee X was fantastic; she was really good at Y' can be grounds for libel. The employee will claim standing based on the fact that, by saying she was good at 'Y' and not 'Z' (which is what the employer really wanted), it was libel by omission.

I do, it's generally pretty nice and there are a lot of well thought-out libraries available. However, figuring out how to interop between a scripting language and an ECS isn't the most trivial thing since rust's type system doesn't always want to be flexible, YMMV. I'm currently using GGEZ for rendering and utility functions, but if you wanted something a bit larger and more opinionated/mature, amethyst is your current best bet. I'm happy to answer any other questions about it! It's been an interesting learning experience so far and I plan to put a lot more down on paper once I have at least a small game running end to end.
Maybe, but at the moment that would cause a faculty uproar.

Someone else pointed out that a UC Office of Scholarly Communication page from while negotiations were ongoing reassured faculty that:

> No matter what happens, UC authors retain the right to publish in the journal of their choice.

> By providing article processing charge (APC) support through the UC Libraries as well as an opt-out option, UC is working hard to ensure that authors have maximum flexibility in determining where and how they want to publish.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190209202821/https://osc.unive...

If they try to start telling faculty where they can or can't publish, faculty are gonna be really mad. I think UC is trying to figure out how to advance their financial and business agenda here _without_ making faculty mad, which is why they were reassuring faculty that these negotiations would not impact their right to publish in the journals of their choice.

It's funny, living in Boise (Idaho), I have the opposite view of California and especially Silicon Valley than almost everyone I've met who lived there.

They tend to complain about fakeness, or the high cost of living, or too much government.

But to me, San Francisco has the best aura of any place I've ever been, other than possibly Costa Rica. It's like some kind of Mecca.

It seems like part of the reason San Francisco is so hyper-competitive is that everyone wants to live there. Which is understandable, because if it was any cheaper, everyone WOULD live there. An acre of land where I live can be as cheap as $10,000. The catch is that it's desert so you have to drill your own well, which may not be available. Also the social scene is essentially nonexistent, so you will likely be single for months, possibly years. And you'll be surrounded by half a million people who are more influenced by religion, football and having a large family than anything else.

I'm disappointed that the big tech companies don't get (and likely will never get) issues like wealth inequality and how they directly diminish the quality of life of all people who are not part of the illuminati. But I think conflating that central problem with the symptoms of it like homelessness, poor mental health and high taxes on low income earners is a fallacy.

It says:

"Hard work and discipline help girls outperform boys in class, but that advantage disappears in the work force."

Maybe hard work and discipline are the problem? Most of the guys I know who do well find ways to cheat the system, at least a bit. I'd use the distinction that Paul Graham has made about "naughty" versus "evil". Some people go to far and they end up in jail -- those are the "evil". But the naughty cheat just a little bit, and they get ahead. Maybe it is women's integrity that keeps them from being successful?

Except it kind of is. As I mentioned elsewhere, Youtube has never reported a profit. That doesn’t mean there is not tremendous value they’ll get from it at some point, but for now it’s huge amount of effort for marginal reward.
I think 2FA objective is to protect mainly from password leaks. If an attacker has access to the files on your laptop aren't they able to intercept 2FA codes too even if they are generated on another device? Such attacks are not purely theoretical we could observe them in real world.

Apart from that I believe that TOTP keys should be encrypted and that is actually my main issue with the described tool - it stores the keys in plain, in a config file.

You're also missing the distinction between an endowment and a revenue stream. Harvard has almost $40B in assets but they are going to be making much smaller annual returns on that — probably 10% at best — and the reason why people donate those funds is to support academic work, not boost profit margins for large companies. Harvard's academics are providing an enormous amount of unpaid work for journals so it's dubious that they are jumping to cut a big check for that rather than, say, scholarships, equipment, etc.

Facebook et al go out of their way to silo its users into small cliques of influence. On Youtube if you watch gaming videos you get ads for gaming, get recommended gaming, and aren't going to see ads for makeup or power tools.

Any open access community will attract hostile actors seeking to usurp it. The problem with Facebook / Youtube / et al is that these corporations are more interested in trying to find a technical way to automate moderation than to actually moderate and police their platforms to weed out of the bad actors.

It isn't something that is inevitable or even made worse by scale, its just these companies are operating to maximize profit, and needing human faces at screens to moderate public comments is a substantial expense.
I believe iPhones now come with on-board TPM's? So in theory you could actually generate the private key on the TPM, and then your phone becomes the "thing you have" to a higher degree of security than authenticator apps.

Not sure about any apps that take advantage of that yet, but the hardware seems to be there.

>"I don't know why people have this tendency to freak out when a for profit company like Elsvier tries to make money."

That's an interesting sentence, the way you've framed that. People objecting are objecting to capitalism...and the whole natural order. "Elsevier is..just trying to do what it was created for, like a bird singing or the sun rising or a baby smiling, why is that such a problem? People are just freaking out! I don't know why."
I've been playing with topological methods for data analysis recently and I think there are some fruitful things happening. Seems like there are some ideas emerging from theory to practice which might be useful (Betti curves, multiparameter persistence, etc) but they're not quite there yet.

Another idea that's been intriguing me lately is applied sheaf theory. Robinson, Ghrist, and Curry are the only people I see working on this but I don't know what I'm not seeing. The "big idea" is taking local data and seeing if it patches together to a global coherent whole or not. Sometimes it doesn't (old Russian example: arbitrage in currency exchange networks). Or sometimes it's about using interpolation to fill in missing data, if you know that it's something for which there is a global function (temperatures across ocean surfaces), or providing a probability distribution for the missing parts. Category theory has something to offer here as well.

Anyone know more about any of these things?

I agree with you, however I'm the only user on my laptop so for the few milliseconds that oathtool is running it's not a problem for my use case.

otp aws 0.00s user 0.01s system 98% cpu 0.015 total

Even back in the 90's Mysql was able to hide the CLI supplied password from the process list. It would be cool if oathtool was able to do the same.
For sure! Now what if they take say half of the money they're not gonna be paying to Elsevier and do even more of that and more, that'd be exciting!

>- they've admitted a serious problem exists that they were unwilling to deal with until external pressure forced them to (i.e. they can't be trusted to self regulate)

No, they didn't. The problem that Youtube is dealing with is advertisers leaving, not the actual comments. Dealing with the problem of advertisers leaving is different from dealing with those comments. It's unclear whether dealing with those comments is even desirable, because Youtube would, in essence, become the censor of what is and is not okay to post in the comments sections, even if they don't break any codifiable rules or laws. Would you find it acceptable that what your freedom of expression is filtered by rules as unclear as that?

Laowhy86 got his comments disabled because his daughter appeared in some of his videos. If this standard were to be pushed across the board then it would effectively ban comments on any videos that have underage people appear in them. Is this desirable for our society?

>Favourite summary: kids are safer on YouTube today because of Disney and Nestle, not because of Google. Let that sink in.

But this is not true.

Firstly, kids on YouTube were NOT impacted by this. When a creep watches a video of a person then that person is not negatively impacted by it.

Secondly, all you've done is hide the problem. The videos of the kids still exist, the time stamps can still be created. All the creeps need to do is share that information somewhere else. That's it. And the only way to fight this one is to simply bar kids from appearing in any media content. Good luck posting a video of you walking around town or of an event where somebody underage might be.

This is similar to the discussion about whether you are allowed to let your 9 year old go outside unsupervised. It's a question of how much freedom do we allow people and kids in our society. It seems to be that public opinion is on the side of less freedom and more protection.
Isn't that just a game of numbers? The more references the more legitimacy - I'm not sure one could ask favors from that many relevant and impactful references
2FA is to mitigate risk after the password is compromised, not to prevent password compromise in the first place.

That doesn't change the necessity of protecting TOTP keys, session keys, bearer tokens, etc., it's just that your second factor is supposed to be a parallel factor, not an extra lock around your password.

This is a topic I've been reading and writing about for awhile. I posted 4 very different stories of burnout here:

"Burnout is universal but the right kind of sleep, food, and exercise can help"

http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/burnout-is-universal-...

This story might be the most relevant to Hacker News and the folks who read about startups:

-----------------------------

There wasn’t much about Milburn online, but I looked over his LinkedIn profile, and I looked up the companies that he had been active with. Lying comes naturally to great salespeople, so I wasn’t surprised that he’d been successful in that field. But what did that really mean? A great salesperson has a repertoire of psychological tricks. They can make you their friend, or they can make you feel guilt; they know when to offer a compliment; they also know how to disguise a negative comment as a neutral observation and thus undercut the confidence of their prey.

Milburn’s career had apparently done especially well during the 1990s. I wondered if he was now feeling stuck. Stagnancy in middle age leads to all kinds of wild adventures — usually a romantic affair or an expensive car — but perhaps it was Milburn’s style to try to launch a business. Anything to revive that old feeling of success.

Apparently he was also somewhat technical. He’d learned Microsoft Excel in the 1990s, and he knew some VisualBasic. Perhaps he’d written some VBA code and connected some Excel spreadsheets to some databases. He knew more about computers than the average salesperson. From the sounds of it, he knew exactly enough to be a disaster.

And he started a business for all the wrong reasons, and it ended in disaster. His motivation wasn’t so much excitement about the project, as a hatred of what his life had become, and a desire to escape to some happier reality. Motivations are important. If he’d been excited about the project he would have dived into the details, and learned what was necessary to build his idea into a success. Instead, he started the company as a vehicle for an escapist fantasty, and at key moments, when he had to make strategic decisions, he made the wrong decision, because he hadn’t bothered to learn enough of the details to understand what was really needed. And I believe that in the end, after two years of effort, he was left even more depressed than when he started. If the whole project had been an attempt to revive the old feeling of success, how much more awful it must have been to face yet another defeat?
Pedestrian deaths hit 28-yr high, and big vehicles and smartphones are to blame
The arms race issue is real, though, and students are less price-sensitive than you might otherwise expect because so many of them are paying for all of it with debt, and the dollar figure looks so obscene everywhere that I suspect lots of students just choose not to think about it. One school's dining hall being fancier is immediately appreciable on a college tour. One school's ridiculous high number that you won't have to pay for years vs. a slightly different ridiculous number at a different one feels less concrete, even though that difference is what paid for the fancier dining hall. Given that, there are big incentives for schools to go ahead and invest in the fancy things and win the students.

This is what I mean about straw men and mythical divides.

Yes, there is a plugin to VSCode to do exactly that. But it doesn't matter. Different software has different features and all features are possible depending on what you care about. Vim is Vim. Vim doesn't have features because of some GUI vs. command line distinction -- it just has different features because it's a different product. Nothing stops a GUI IDE like VSCode from having those same features. And nothing stops you from using GUI windows and mouse in a desktop version of Vim.
Will the code be theoretically runnable elsewhere though?

I guess my two concerns about solutions like this are always A) vendor lock-in B) whether it's too big of a project for any one company and requires a community of contributors to realize the vision.

In the short term it doesn't really matter because clearly being able to build an app is a huge step up from not being able to build an app regardless (which is why companies like Bubble.is are doing so well), but in the long term it seems like there are 10 - 15 companies working on this so eventually there will be more options and those factors will be key differentiators.
