The problem with CF was not making up tags. The problem with CF was that the library was a freakish spaghetti mess, the language made no sense, didn't interop with anything open source, and kept being repositioned for different uses as it failed so it had no coherent niche.

It was pretty much a proprietary PHP before PHP was somewhat rehabilitated, except it somehow made less sense.

Again, I don't disagree per se, but it's such an obvious truism that you have to trust the device you're using it seemed a bit pointless to say it.

I'm also not sure of the point you're making?

MFA doesn't help you if you open anything like you said. So you're safe until you open something, at which point you've presumably used MFA to open it, but then it's open so MFA doesn't help you any more.

Basically, malicious code on device = game over in all any circumstance.

The common way is to reduce memory voltage or tighten the timings until things start failing. Alternatively, you could probably run rowhammer PoCs.
I don't know that particular name and the target market. Maybe it's really bad. But if you have a good product in my view the name doesn't matter that much. A lot of people struggle with "sqlite" for example or "Azure" or "OSX".

So, as a scientist working in fluid mechanics, I certainly find these two papers interesting. But the interesting bits are highly technical. There doesn't seem to be either a common link between the two papers, nor a good reason why these specific ones are reported on by Ars. The only thing they seem to have in common, is that they were both posted to EurekAlert (which is a place where universities can post press releases) at about the same time. These press releases seem to be the basis for the Ars article, but unfortunately the Ars piece is full of pretty basic mistakes...

TL;DR: if you like bubbles and foams, go read the actual articles, please don't read the Ars piece.
I think this has to do with ongoing costs and upfront costs. You can't get a home without SOME upfront cash, and it's known that you need money to pay the taxes, additional utilities, maintenance, etc after you purchase the home.

The comparison between a $50k loan for a wedding vs a $50k downpayment on a home is that they never had that money to begin with, and the payments on the wedding are just another expense vs buying into a mortgage with all the extra costs alongside it.

I'm not claiming a loan for a wedding is a good idea, in fact I think it is a terrible one. But building off what you've said, that they're older and can make bigger financial choices, I can see how a loan for the wedding can seem like a viable option to someone.
Agreed that you don't gain anything if you're using 1Password. But users may be required to set up MFA to access something like GitHub organizations, in which case having it available in 1Password is convenient.
It seems likely that we will be able to go back only so far using language as a tool for history. I think the origin of Basque is probably beyond that boundary. There are some parts of history that we will probably never know. But no, it seems extremely unlikely that Armenian and Basque have anything to do with each other.

I worked at Brookes for several years, I can definitely attest their campus is in Oxford (Harcourt Hill is miles out, as is Wheatley, but their main campus for the last decade or so is right next to South Park in Headington). It's not a stretch to say they're properly in the city and now have a claim to having "Oxford" in the name - and large swathes of the student body now live in the city proper.

If you want to take the naming thing, then consider Kidlington Aerodrome is called "London Oxford Airport"...
While I would love to see a decent Jekyll workflow to work with books, this is not it.

The output looks nice enough, but there aren't even links from the table of contents to the chapters. Neither in the HTML nor the PDF version. Nor does it say what page number to find the chapter on in the PDF.

Additionally, as mentioned in the "cons" section of the article, "Chapters are spit out as one long, single page." This includes the PDF, where there aren't even page breaks at the start of new chapters.

This is no way to publish a book. Even a simple one.

Does anybody have a Jekyll theme or workflow that actually works well with books?
Developing an API and giving things names is definitely a very hard problem.
This is a step beyond the kind of thing done by the Trump administration to claim inauguration numbers were significantly higher than they were. China is actively censoring news on the protests to a really impressive (in a bad way) degree. Really, though, the only thing that surprises me about this is that they've gotten the process down enough to put a giant lid on such a huge event in a short time.

Intel actually offers ECC memory by chipset, not CPU. If you get a board with the server-oriented chipset, it will often support a Core i5.
One of the trends that I can only hope continues is getting rid of this idea that home ownership (especially single family home ownership) is the American dream.

I live in and own a detached single family home (was a compromise with my spouse) and to be honest, I hate it. I hate having to take care of the yard, to deal with unreliable tradespeople when things break, to deal with the huge expense of minor home repairs - and this is even after outsourcing as much of that work as possible.

Compare that to renting an apartment, which I loved. If something broke, I just called the super, and that was that. This ridiculous idea that renting is "throwing money away" is absurd. I'm paying someone to deal with all the shit I absolutely don't want to deal with, and more importantly I'm paying for the freedom to easily up and move if something else fits my fancy.
So you end up stuck with languages like Ada, where the language can prove the correctness of your code (or rather, that your code follows the specification)?

Native Basque speaker here. Happy to see an article about my mother tongue in HN! It is indeed quite a mystery the origin of Euskara, many hypotheses but no clear winner. Gladly, most of us were thaught that diversity of theories in school instead of being hammered the official/most popular of the hypotheses at the time.

A curious feature of Euskara is linked to the geography of most of the Basque Country: lots of mountains and lots of smallish towns. This helped develop subtle differences between towns just a few kilometers apart, to the point of most native speakers being able to accurately pinpoint another native speaker's hometown. These differences grow bigger the farther apart the speakers' origins are. I am aware this happens in practically all the languages but to have it occur in distances of a few kilometres instead of hundreds is quite incredible. I wonder if millennia ago proto-euskara was spoken all the way from the current Basque Country to Armenia, those subtle dialectal differences would have been huge, to the point of being unable to understand each other.

Sadly, Euskera is less and less heard in big cities where most of the inhabitants or their ancestors come from other parts of Spain and saw no need to bother with the local language. This also happened in a time where nothing but spanish (Castilian) was allowed in Spain under Franco. The recent permanent ceasefire of E.T.A. has been crucial in making our little country attractive for tourism and commerce again.

I am confident in our collective willingness to extend the usage of Euskara and with the plethora of activities and projects undertaken for this goal:

It is true that the cause of the pain is that they haven't been running their IT in a secure fashion, and this is the real problem.

I don't know how much of the money/time that will be spent (the "$18 million" figure is entirely imaginary) to instead try to recover their data/systems to functional... but I don't think it's a great use of money.

But indeed, actually running secure systems is what they got to be focusing on, and will be expensive. I think many organizations are going to find that they can't actually afford to do what's needed to reliably run the systems they already rely on, having not been running them reliably or securely.

I hope that the 'recovery' efforts, done in an emergency fashion, don't distract them from getting to that point and figuring out what they're going to do about it.

It's a shame that there's been little innovation from road bike manufacturers in the past 10 years or so.

If you want to stop, we've got hydraulic disc brakes. If you want to go, we can stick a motor on it. Don't want to maintain derailleurs? Get a 14 gear Rohlhoff internal hub. Don't want to maintain a chain? Get belt drive. Don't even want to go to the effort to physically push the mechanism to the next gear? We have electric shifting now.

None of this was available twenty years ago. The "innovation every 10 years" you're looking for happened well over 100 years ago. The low-hanging fruit was taken before your grandfather was born. But build a bike with brakes so good it will lift the back wheel in the pouring rain, and people still aren't satisfied. :-)
Use Authy. 2FA via account instead of device is hypothetically less-secure but as a practice for individual security, far better than being locked out of everything after the misfortune of losing a phone.
One very important caveat is the culture of which these weddings are styled. By this I mean, are the couple getting married in a traditional Chinese or South Asian (India, Pakistan, Bangledesh) wedding? If so, taking out loans and having very extravagant weddings would not be abnormal nor an unwise financial decision. Typically, weddings in these cultures will pay for themselves and have a fair bit left over as a gift to the couple from the invited guests. The 'aunties' are tasked with making sure that invited family and friends are paying up!

If your company and the product share a name, rename one for a year and then transition fully to the new name.

You could also launch a second product with a different focus but complimentary to you first one. If this gets traction, rebrand your original product to a name based on your second product.
This is an interesting use of static site generators.

I think the definition of "an area which one may want to live" has drastically narrowed. It used to be widely known that living in NY was very expensive and not something everyone expected to do. Now that seems to be table stakes. It's as if the image of upper class life got so normalized that middle class people no longer even realize that striving for it will send you to the poor house. I know a lot of people who have spent tons of money on international travel, justifying it in part by saying that housing is too expensive so might as well blow the money on "experiences". Those people live in NY and SF. They could have a bought a house very easily with the money they spent on travel (or a wedding as per the OP) if they were willing to live somewhere other than the most expensive places on earth.

That transition can happen gradually too: NewAppName becomes the leadgen site all the video ad watchers get sent to, then gradually support and FAQ and company emails get migrated over to it, and the actual app url migrates later, if at all.

If you're looking for ways to make money and aren't concerned about legal risk or ethics, certainly I'd expect hacking to be on your list of possibilities. There wouldn't be so much hacking going on if it wasn't lucrative.

Then it's not really 2FA anymore. Anyone with access to your 1Password account can login anywhere.
You are correct.

Calling them up one time the person on the phone seemed to be able to 'see' my Cloudflare TOTP code (back when cloudflare had beef with Google about their CEO account getting hacked) but wasn't able to 'see' what my manually added Google Authenticator codes were.

So I'm not even sure if Authy's own stuff is secure at all, perhaps someone from there will jump in.

But using the Google Authenticator way it's a decent option. Just be sure to treat your backup key as a critical component that needs to be stored securely.
WhatsApp is Facebook
Hey! Author here.

> Why does there need to be a web standard for this? I do not want Firefox to store my keys for me. Or any browser. I do not want transparent authentication, I want it to be explicit, and I want it to be offline.

WebAuthn doesn't specify key storage in the browser. It specifies a common JavaScript API for registering and generating assertions via an authenticator, which in turn stores keys internally.

Wanting offline 2FA is perfectly reasonable, and I don't begrudge you that! TOTP is perfectly fine for that purpose, so long as you understand the tradeoffs you make in terms of symmetricity/phishability/replays/etc.

Having my HP printer just failed because of something was wrong on the printer head (and replacing the printer head alone costs more than the printer, and is a easy job as it was made to be easily replaced), I'm always mad that a part costs equal or more than the whole thing.

Any kind of "locked-in" to repair anything should always be against the law: no one should be allowed to charge more for a part than it charges for the whole. And I think that only "right-to-repair" can make things correct and reduce those disposable electronics.

>Push notifications for the token to all your devices instantly

... including non-Apple devices.

I've been faffing with this for the past few days - I had to reformat and reinstall OSX on my rather old MBA (2013), and I didn't notice at first, but it only restored Mavericks (was previously Mojave).

As my only Apple device, I was SOL when it asked me enter my verification code for me to log into the App Store to upgrade the OS (as Mavericks is pre-2FA).

There were no other options for verification and the only other device I own is an Android phone (not entirely unreasonable).

I can't see a way round this other than getting ahold of another Apple device to get the code. Am I missing something obvious?

> It's such a blatant lie.

yes and no. Most today's CE devices lose 3/4 of their utility when disconnected from their shared medium. People running such mediums usually require some sort of certification from the participant devices, and in case the device has been modified, a re-certification after modifications is usually required.

Even replacing a couple of diodes by a looking-close-on-paper analogue might harm performance for neighboring participants in the communication. I let you imagine what one could do with arbitrary firmware images on a fully unlocked device.

I'd be curious to see what solutions to that the infrastructure people work out when these laws are eventually adopted.

>There's no functional difference between the two codes in terms of account access

Are you sure?

The last time I used a recovery code I got an email and my 2FA immediately stopped working.

If I have your TOTP key I can use your 2FA without you even knowing, even while you use it. It effectively gives me an unlimited backdoor into that account.
I think what you get out of a book is more about the person reading it, and what they are looking for, than it is about the story itself.

Dr. Seuss's "Oh, the places you'll go" could be read by one person as just a whimsical children's tale. Someone else, though, might see it as an interesting allegory on the journeys that a person might face in their own life.

Likewise, I might look at a squirrel burying nuts in the ground, and see just a squirrel. But a buddhist monk might derive some great wisdom from watching the very same thing.

> IRC is complete trash and I don't know why anyone would use it in the same sentence as Slack. UX matters. It matters A LOT.

To me, that sounds exactly like someone defending AppleTalk, AOL, ICQ, or Minitel. Focus on usability, not interoperability. That's what people want, right?

When it comes to communications, what matters even more than user experience, in the long run, is being compatible with everyone, even your competitors. There will always be customers who don't use your system, so lacking compatibility or federation will be a thorn in your side for as long as you exist. I've run out of fingers to count the incompatible proprietary chat systems I've seen die off.

Even Google has killed off a few of their own, and Hangouts is next. Just being a young smart agile tech company does not make you immune.

In 10 years, I bet people will be communicating over email, IRC, POTS/SMS, plus 4 or 5 new tech startups created by people who are in elementary school right now. Nobody's arguing that $(proprietary_system) doesn't make you more productive today (that's the point!), but they always have a sell-by date.
There were many generations that were worse off than their parents in American history. I don't know about you but I'd rather have not fought in a war, so any generation prior to a major war was better off than the one that followed.

It's not really that surprising that such a thing wasn't infinitely scaleable.
