Is there a solution for the fact that all of your accounts will be secured by the same "source"? Isn't this almost close to using the same password on every site? I realize a physical secret is better than a password, but if someone gets their hand on your little FIDO device, do they instantly get access to all your accounts?

I found it a little surprising that they initially thought using recursion would be acceptable for this sort of application. Esp since in the Mozilla codebase many threads run with quite small stacks.
I don't think tagging works for people not on FB, though if anyone else here has seen different, i'd love to hear their two cents. As for tagging of people who were on FB but deactivated their profiles. I've seen tags work before and that;s bad enough because even if you try to leave the social network, people can post images or videos of you and associate your name with them regardless. What shadow profiles have to do with these things I don't honestly know, the social network would keep something like that pretty secret I think.

I worked at startups for the free beer, the tech and people.
3 startups later I have made 0 money on stock and had loads of fun.

That's the truth about startups. Now I don't work at a startup, I make butt loads more money, and have much less fun.
I treat my phone as if it’s on a whitelist anyway. I can’t imagine how people do otherwise. If it’s an unknown number, I reject it. If they leave a voicemail, I’ll get notified and I’ll check it pretty soon after the call. Every day I get no less than two unwanted calls from scams and robocallers. I don’t have time for that.
Because the cap is on total dollar value and not on rates, degree of impact is loosely proportional to tax rates × per capita tax base. Or, more simply, per capita state and local tax revenue. High rates alone don't mean you are impacted.

Texas is below the national average (at least as of 2015); they are, therefore, less impacted than most states.

A quick search suggests that only 20% of programmers in general are female, but 30% of Google programmers are female. I'm not certain these numbers are accurate, but if they are, female programmers are over represented at Google.

Going by the "logic" of outcomes being the "only holistic measure" this would indicate that Google is biased against male programmers within the context of the pool of available candidates. Yet if we change the scope of our consideration to that of the general population, Google would be biased against females.

Seems like the "only holistic measure" has some kind of issue with logical consistency. One has to be careful with how the population sample relates to the specific pipeline of available candidates. If one isn't careful, then the interpretation of the numbers might as well be fiction. You can't just stop at, "Does it match the general population? No? Then BIAS!"
Here's what I want: a complete browsing history with all the keystrokes and whatnot, or a replayable browser.

> I think it's more that blue states tend to offer more social welfare and thus higher taxes.

Because the cap is a per capita dollar cap, not a rate cap, it mostly hits states that are wealthy, as aggregate tax rates (share of economy taxed) between states vary less than per capita size of the economy.

It's not fast enough. USB cannot drive a 4k monitor at 60hz. You can use the physical interface to do it, but this uses Thunderbolt. This means that the dream of a one-cable-for-everything setup is not here yet, unless you use a Thunderbolt dock, which multiplexes the USB stuff in with the monitor signal. A thunderbolt dock costs around 10x more than a simple USB dock.
Does per monthly pricing turn off a lot of people?

To clarify, I'm talking about using the laptop as a power source to charge other devices (phones, tablets, etc) off your laptop's USB ports.

If you plug them in while the laptop is asleep they won't start charging. If you plug them in while the laptop is awake they'll start to charge, and they'll keep going if the computer goes to sleep later.

If you laptop isn't charging itself while plugged in to the wall you have other problems.

How is losing your key any different from losing your password? "Password" doesn't try to solve the problem of losing your password, that's beyond the scope. All recovery methods that apply to passwords also apply here.
Is that true? The last article I read about millennial homebuyers is that the reason outstanding mortgage balances are increasing is because more millennials are putting down less than 20% because they couldn't otherwise afford to.
The big problem with using the same password on multiple sites is that if any of the sites record your password (because of maliciousness or incompetence), they can re-use your password to log in as you on any other site.

Using a security token is more like a password manager with random passwords everywhere than that (the attacker needs to get access to your password manager to get access to your accounts; it's not enough for someone to hack a single site you use), but more secure because it's generally not copyable and the attacker needs physical access to use it. (A virus on your computer can't clone your security token, even if it's plugged in.)

As a heavy user of feeds I always wanted a feedreader in my browser, but more with the list in the sidebar and a content main, like in a traditional feedreader. Firefox' Live Bookmarks did that for a while, but of course Mozilla killed it. Safari's Twitter integration hat the same model for a while. Also Opera. But UI-wise all solutions weren't as great; hindered by integration into bookmarks of general non-nativeness.

Like the current top comment I find it frustrating that browser makers stopped caring for the power user demographic and effectively stopped competing with UI features. My ideal browser would be a mixture of the feedreading capabilities of NetNewsWire 3.2 (Subscribe to a shell script!), the storage modell of Evernote and such, the tab management of TreeStyleTabs but with the taste and elegance of OmniWeb 5, the native integration and resourcefulness of Safari and the configurability of old Opera.
> The company also projects that it will create 2,300 jobs during the 18–24 month construction window.

The number I've heard so far for project cost is 600 million dollars. You can figure roughly 300-350 million dollars going into the pockets of the local workers directly (2 years of labor [4160 hours] for 2300 people @ 35/hr), which is a rough average of MN prevailing wage determinations for trade workers if you account for the 20 -30 trades that will work on a project like this.

The state benefits by bringing a highly-visible employer to an exurban area, even if it is only 50 full time jobs. They get an anchor tenant of sorts that may attract other real estate development and business in the area.

There are plenty of benefits to be gained on a 20 million investment. Note, most of the labor will be local union tradespeople who pay state taxes and spend their money in the state.

Disclaimer: My company will be bidding one (or multiple) part(s) of the construction part of this project.
And what happens if I log in with someone else's phone number?
> Cost of phone calls decreasing to basically zero

I think this is the crux of the issue, and I don't think it's a situation that any non-spammer end-user wants. There's a definite non-zero cost to receiving a phone call.

I think we'd fix the robocall problem in a heartbeat if a small artificial charge was billed by the receiving phone company each time they connected a call (or rang a customer's phone, not sure about the precise terminology).

My tip would be to gather really good intel on the company and the people they are looking for and then...

For _every_ point on your resume ask yourself if it is useful from the companies prespective. Never put in just everything until you are applying as a just everything man. And even then they will take that guy who says: I am Fred, I am a Frontend Developer. Because they can imagine who Fred is and judge him by that.

Paint a very simple and tailored picture first, go more into depth later.

I am a “renaisance man” myself to the degree that some people won’t believe me when I tell them what I did. This is bad for job interviews and resumes. If you say: “I am Fred the Soundesingner” they will take you if they need a sounddesigner. If you say “I am Fred and I can do ...” and proceed to recite a endless list of things, they will be impressed, but they won’t know what is real, what made up and how you actually see yourself.

Apply as the guy who fits the position (if you like it) and not as the complex beast you really are. Never say anything that you can’t connect somehow to the company unless it is a hobby or so.

That's fair. Although, for my password manager, you need both password and 2FA to access it, whereas a FIDO key would just require stealing the physical key.

Does there exist FIDO key (other than phones) that require a password to "enable"? For example, when it's plugged into a new device, the key locks until you input some master password?

> What makes me mad is that my speedometer goes up to 140mph! Why?!

For your answer, take a look at this modern Ferrari speedo:

https://www.straight.com/files/v3/styles/gs_large/public/ima...

If the link doesn't work, the key thing is: the bottom right quadrant of the speedo is just blank. Top speed is indicated at three o'clock on the face of the speedo. You'll see a similar layout on some of their modern tachometers.

This is by no means universal but it's more popular nowadays. The idea is that when you're travelling at high speed you've minimized the amount of time and effort involved in looking at the instruments. You can sort-of, kind-of rely on your peripheral vision, but that's harder to do as the needle moves further and further downward, away from the road and closer to the center of the steering wheel.

With collectible sports cars with traditional instruments, you can often see examples of this that involve having rotated the speedo, or more likely just the tachometer, to a position where it's most easily readable when the redline is reached. That invovles getting the needle vertical and/or putting it where it's not obscured by the steering wheel, also an important factor.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/2...

It's also becoming common to see replacement faces for those old instruments available for sale, so they look a little less goofy when rotated ninety degrees (or whatever) counterclockwise.

With a subcompact car that isn't super fast, these visibility purposes can be served but the owner can also sort of feel like their car is a lot faster than it actually is if the speed numbers keep increasing down and to the right. That part is stupid, but it actually does make the speedo more readable most of the time.
Do you mind elaborating a bit more on this concept?

In such a scenario, why would investors ever want to put money in a company if the bulk of the value came via retention packages (which they can't tap into), as opposed to the per-share purchase price (which they can tap into)? I am talking about investors who put money in "clean deals", so 1X liquidation preferences, non-participating, which from what I've seen in the Bay Area is fairly standard.

If the terms are clean (assumption above), common holders not making any money on a $1B acquisition would just mean that investors will at best recoup all their original capital, without any meaningful return, so why bother?

I understand that the investors have a lot of money to play with and can afford to lose a good chunk of it, but in the scenario you are picturing they would get screwed even when the company itself becomes a massive success (as defined by the $1B acquisition), which is exactly the needle in the haystack they look for.

Am I missing something? Are there some obvious ways through which investors with 1X preferences can make a lot of money while wiping out common holders?
That's interesting. I have seen a number of female tech personalities being pretty critical of being asked to speak for free. I have never been paid by a conference I spoke at, speaking as a male. I never connected that maybe having that expectation of getting remuneration discourages people from speaking since most conferences probably don't.

That said, I have come to see some pushes for diversity in tech as being extortionist. Some of the tactics used by some specific women who push for diversity in tech are blatantly self-serving like offering workplace diversity consulting but also naming and shaming corporations and individuals for lack of diversity.
