> 4) You can retake possession of your hacked Gmail account by providing one of the previously used passwords. No need to have a working phone.

This is what I'm worried about, if I don't have a phone number on a gmail account, won't it make it harder to get access to that gmail account if I am locked out. Even though there's obviously a bad security loophole with just having a phone number on your account as a recovery option, is it not worse to be locked out of your account with no way to get in?
Or use your Android phone as your second factor.

If you're looking for SEO value... there's a fairly easy way to check a list of domains. Use the Majestic.com 'bulk backlink checker', and sort by Trust Flow. You'll want to find domains that have a higher TF than CF.

Also keep in mind that many of these domains might not have SEO value, but they may actually have email value (they're still getting emails) which can be monetized.

How can we differentiate between this agent making these postings as an official part of their FBI duties, or making these posts for their own reasons? I know that the screenshots imply that they made these posts while performing their duties, but well I'm at work right now when I'm making this HN comment, and that doesn't mean that my employer instructed me to make this comment.

Is this sanctioned forum sliding, or just a bored government employee shitposting when they're supposed to be working?
I have an original copy. The best is the leather so thick and such great quality. Now we are lucky to get a plastic thin case.
Google really fails hard in the face of providing support when issues like this occur. The average person has to try various automated account recovery options which, as in the author's case, are readily changeable the moment the account is compromised, rendering them somewhat useless, and then users are out of luck.

It's a situation that is mind-boggling. Users as asked to place a significant chunk of their digital lives in the care of Google, it is unbelievable that they fail this badly. It's useful to note than it's not a situation that business users face. People who pay for G-suite have real support, even ::gasp:: telephone support. Why on earth does google not offer this to consumer users? I would gladly pay for that level of support and security. For that matter if there were some way of converting my personal account over to G-Suite I would do so.

I would even not mind something like one-time payments for support calls, for example pay $50 for a service call to get assistance in a case like this. I just can't fathom the "no support" model at all.
That doesn't change the substance of his objection, which is that leisure activities should quite obviously be held to a greater standard than general freight shipping. For instance, it's obvious that the environmental impact of backyard bonfires should be compared to the environmental impact of a comparable alternative activity, like a backyard charcoal BBQ. If you compared a backyard bonfire to controlled burns for forest management, then obviously the particulate emissions of the bonfire are going to seem inconsequential, because that's an inappropriate comparison.

Whether they're enjoyed by baby boomers or baby zoomers, the environmental impact of leisure cruises should plainly be compared to comparable leisure activities. If we compare flying to a tropical beach instead of taking a cruise ship to that same beach, how do the emissions stack up? My impression is that commercial airliners are substantially more efficient on a per passenger basis.

Maybe most equipment purchased in 2019, from top-tier vendors, with all the software options unlocked.

But that's several steps away from what's actually deployed in the world right now.

A tremendous amount of the telecommunications network uses BITS sync equipment deployed in the late 90s, because it was extraordinarily well built, extremely reliable, and supported over the long term. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's single-constellation.

Ditto the power generation and distribution industry, mostly deployed in the early 2000s. ISOs rely on frequency measurements that come from GPS-synced network monitoring hardware. Again, high-end industrial stuff, reliable and well-supported, but single-constellation.

Ditto WISP PTMP hardware, mostly deployed in the early 2010s. Heck, even the current stuff is still only single-constellation because that's all it needs to be.

Thinking about it further, I think your statement applies to cellphones and very little else.
That explanation likely accounts for some of the underemployment. How much, I’m not sure, perhaps a lot of it. Now, this still leaves people with a debt they may be unable to service. Which is still a problem, and raises its own set of questions. But it’s a completely different problem to any of the other potential explanations.

If you have the money to work full time on a personal project you have the time to sign up for a conference or three on the kind of scientific topic you like. Ideally, pick one near your home/in the closest metropolis.

Once there you can apply the following no-social-skills-needed guide to making contacts at a conference.

1. Watch the keynote.

2. After the keynote, walk up to pretty much anybody. Ask the following questions: "Do you think (keynote title) is a major area for (conference subject matter)?" and almost regardless of what they answer, you can follow up with "oh, really? Is what you're studying related to (keynote subject)?". Those two questions are enough to make virtually any academic launch in a paragraph-long exposé. Usually by the 6th conversation you have along those lines, you'll have a good summary of which subjects are considered important right now. If the person looks like they like you or are invested in talking about their topic, you can follow up by giving your contact info and saying you're interested in them sending you a paper on the subject they talked about (one of theirs if applicable).

3. There will be designated poster sessions. The posters are giant sheets of papers with young people in front of them. Walk up to a young person standing in front of a poster that doesn't look that slick but where the subject matter interests you (slick posters are from bigger labs where you are less likely to have an impact). Ask the person what they do, how long they've been doing it for, how big is their lab, and what's the most time-consuming step in their research right now.

4. If anyone asks you what you do, say you're an expert in (your computing area, web apps, cloud, data analysis, whatever) and interested in the intersection of (your area) and (conference name). Some of the people will say they think (your area) would be great for (their subfield) because of (super niche stuff you wouldn't have thought of). Grab their contact info so you can have a 1:1 meeting with them later where they find you a research subject.

Follow up by having email conversations with a few of the people. If a grad student looks like they can use your help, ask for an intro to the PI. Eventually you'll walk your way into a (possibly paid) research project. It's that simple. Thank you for caring about your world and its future.

> For starters, H1Bs are cheaper to hire.

As an H1B, I am paid squarely in the middle of the pay band of my co-workers that share my performance rating and ladder level. If you combine that with all the immigration-related legal expenses my employer is racking up, I cost more then the average employee, here.

I ask - just because there's some shitty headshops that illegally employ H1Bs at below-market rate, don't generalize that to the entire population of visa-holders.

Even if you go through the g.co/advancedprotection onboarding process, they still say account recovery is possible and that it would take 3-5 days extra. Granted, it's not easy, but it's much easier to buy security keys and put one in a safe deposit box than it is to try to get every carrier to be nice to you and not SIM-swap your account.
I would also partly chalk it up to the ubiquity of American TV and movies. The midwestern accent is the norm for spoken English on TV, and most of those are set in America with American characters. If you want to say someone is from somewhere else but they’re all speaking a non-English language, speaking in a British accent sounds “foreign enough”.

for anyone on (iOS) thinking about dumping google photos do it now, before it's too late.

without even looking at this article and post if have been migrating off google to iOS. i have over 13,000 photos and videos in google photos that i tried to "take out" this weekend and move over to icloud:

-the take out process gave me 3 zip files with total size of 108gb when only 80gb are actual images/videos. there is essentially 2x .json files for each picture that google adds their own data to

-the takeout process absolutely breaks live photos. the 3MB originals become 200K stills.

- the take out process creates .mov files which are not importable into photos/iclouds

- the take out process creates .jpg files which are not importable into photos/iclouds, they're full size pictures but the only .jpg that works is a duplicate at fraction of original size.

- out of over 13K "take out" files i was only able to import a little over 11K, what happened to the 2K images i have no idea, i don't even know how to parse through them, with all of the extra.json files all over the place it's an effing mess.

i tried also downloading directly from photos apps. after it "creating a zip" archive for me about 6x in 8 hours and constantly failing i did notice that my browser tried to download over 60 individual 2gb zip files, a complete mess that never did work out.

i finally got the back up & sync option working (the one that's actually going away) and was able to sync, overnight, all 13K images and videos to my desktop. there are no extra json files and all live photos seem to be exactly as they were.

tonight i'll be deleting the 11K photos from icloud and re-importing the clean 13K files i downloaded through backup&sync last night, I hope it goes much smoother.

i think this is intentional lock-in by google, as long as you use the google photos app on ios it shows you all images just fine, along with live photos, but what you forget is that you no longer own these photos, not in bulk anyways. as soon as you try to take them out you get crippled versions on there and you see the level of privacy invasion that google take your photos to (by adding their own tag data through .json files).

if you have a lot of images invested in google but are not on the android platform really do consider getting out now.
Blame gravity
Is there anything specific to Google about this? Could it be the same story about another email provider?

And if not then why not? Is it because Google is a bigger and more obvious target or something specific they are doing badly?

If you think people should switch then these are the kind of questions you should answer.
Yeah, the situation right now is a political tug of war between the left and the right. The people get stuck in the middle. It really sucks.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Can I just use this spot to remind everyone that when one of his commenters found an integer handling bug in the ntpsec codebase, Raymond said "I will neither confirm nor deny that I left it in there deliberately to see who would be sharp enough to spot it".

You can find it in the thread on his blog post titled (I am not making this up) "Thinking like a master programmer, redux".

Another fun fact: Cure53 audited ntpd and ntpsec concurrently, and found an instance where ntpsec rewrote a function and managed to regress out a patch for a security vulnerability, reintroducing it into their codebase. (By the way: overwhelmingly, with I think just one exception --- not counting the regression above --- the significant findings in that report applied uniformly to both ntpsec and ntpd).

Additional fun: until 2017, the ntpsec project apparently didn't even enable system/runtime mitigations like ASLR (according to the "Fix/Validation log" in the Mozilla SOS project).

Conclusion of that report: "While the NTPsec project emphasizes cleaning up its ancestors’ flaws, the difference regarding quality between the original code and the current implementation was not as great as anticipated."

The article doesn't say if the user had two-factor authentication set up. I guess it's implied they used SMS as the second factor.

This would happen with any email provider.

So the fix isn't changing email provider, it's using a more secure second factor, e.g. U2F.
> The problem is SMS account recovery, which is a really bad idea.

The problem is that a lot of services tie the two together. Often one implies the other. Even if it doesn't, though, it's also easier to social engineer -- "look! I have access to the 2fa phone number! I just can't access my password manager!"
> The other is a commercial shipping company through which a large portion of the world's goods is transported.

What's disingenuous is acting as if that statement matters at all when talking about large pollution sources. You're saying the ends justifies the means. I don't think most people would agree. Maybe we should let out all of the bank robbers who were robbing to get money in order to eat and survive, vs those who did it to buy nice cars and enrich themselves or something.

Anything shipped from overseas is an exercise in exporting your pollution.

It's okay to dump 100's of times the amount of pollution into the environment compared to domestic manufacturing as long as it 1) happens in Asia, Afria, or South America, and 2) improves corporate margins.
I'll agree that POP is pretty easy and worthwhile here.

One caveat: I'm not certain that it's identical to what Takeout provides. I downloaded the mbox file via Takeout and the Takeout version was a fair bit larger than my Thunderbird mbox file as I recall. Maybe Thunderbird stores the emails more efficiently than Takeout? I should examine this more closely. As far as I am aware there are no missing emails in Thunderbird, though I could write a script to be certain.

Edit: Seems that I misremembered. The Takeout file seems to be appreciably smaller than what Thunderbird has, but in line with what Gmail reports at the bottom. I guess Thunderbird is actually less efficient than Gmail. Attachments might explain some of this, as I deleted some attachments in Gmail that I kept in Thunderbird.
I switched from Mac to WSL last year and yes, in some ways it is smoother. Having for example apt-get on top of the NT kernel is better than Homebrew on Darwin. It's worse in other ways that are slowly getting fixed, such as the sad state of terminal emulators on Windows. At least one thing will probably always be better on Mac: Settings/Defaults system with Plist files vs. Windows settings and the Registry. But to me that doesn't justify the lack of good laptop hardware choices anymore - PC laptops are so much better nowadays.
> The iPad didn't really suffer much from the same naming "problem".

It's not really the same thing. Pad can often refer to things like "pads of paper", or be a slang name for an apartment.

> Libra is pretty much just the latin name for "Pound". It's a pretty damn good name for the currency.

A lot of teenagers probably aren't going to know that.

Whereas there is literally a brand called "Libra" that makes tampons, pads and those sorts of products. That is what people think of here when they hear that, either that or the star sign.

I wasn't suggesting they ditch android auto, but literally everyone but Mazda and Toyota have carplay as an option. Even Kia and Hyundai. Chevy,GMC,ford,Dodge, Chrysler,jeep,Fiat,Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi. All have carplay. Mazda is going simple, which I respect. I drive a Miata pre touchscreen and I use a $50 Android phone. But to have a touchscreen an not have android auto and carplay? Why?
Yep, but they have different purposes. These focus on HTML5 animations (super useful and handy for web), but mine is meant to be used as a simple tool to make videos and animations of different formats. It also has video and audio support (I believe unlike the two tools you've mentioned).
