We do have it good. Would you rather be middle class today or a king in 18th century?

We have it amazingly good. The fact that we can't see this ("we" as in society) tells me that our appetites are impossible to satisfy.

At least 90% of all problems I've seen between people are unnecessary and result mostly of lack of compassion and selfishness.

There are problems that are truly unsolvable and tragic - where death or significant health issues are involved - but other than that, people create problems themselves either by being selfish or being the victim of someone else's selfishness.

What would it take to say "I am satisfied with what I have; with the friend near me; with the family near me; with the material possessions that I have; with the values that I own; and I don't need anything else" ?

Everything else being finite, why would our appetites be infinite?

I know some rich people - they are unbelievably unhappy people. You probably can't tell due to their lavish lifestyle, but if you are close to them - you'd know. And they have it all for god knows how many generations henceforth. Really amazing, once you think about it.

I get .9 in Firefox on my MBP with UBlock Origin installed. I wondered if it was because I was logged in to Google, so I tried Incognito and got .7. In a never-before-used container I also get .7.
Would it though? If each system was unique and rotated through different types of challenges, the bot would have to be custom tailored to handle every challenge type.

i.e. free form questions, count the gray dots (vision impaired friendly), math questions, play tic-tac-toe and get a stalemate, ascii hang-man ... I could think of hundreds of different challenges. The bot would have to constantly adapt and the bot developer would have to really love puzzles. The bot consumers would have to update constantly and would have to learn all the challenges of each site owner.

As a bonus, google the all knowing, is less knowing and no longer a gate-keeper.

Let's say you want to represent 1cm*1cm 2d space in 1d. There is infinite number of points in both dimensions of this space. While you can completely represent one of its "slices" with a 1cm segment of 1d space, for a complete model you will need infinite number of 1cm segments stacked, thus requiring infinite 1d space.
Captchas are hell on the blind and vision impaired. There are add-ons for this, but they mostly suck. Things like Webvisum exist but they are invite only.
I don't understand this. It's not an "implementation detail", it's a business requirement. That is, the business requirement is that some email addresses have different authentication requirements (i.e. with password or without). There are certainly different ways to handle this, as the article goes over in detail, but they all have different usability tradeoffs, and frankly I think the multi-step is less confusing than some of the other options.

It frustrates me when people, especially engineers, gloss over trade-offs that had to be made because their particular use case isn't as well supported without considering how all users are affected.
I think the login form should accommodate the layman. It's hard enough to get the layman to use a password manager, much less script it.

That's the definition. What I outlined - granted, without the specific action steps - is sensible and realistic. And it distinctly is not about happiness. Romantic would be "just be happy." Would you consider behavioral therapy romantic?

Materials Data Bank – 3D atomic views of real materials
I was last looking for a new phone around the time the iPhone X came out, but I decided on an iPhone 8 instead of an X. The X was not only more expensive, but also felt heavy and chunky in a way that I hadn't experienced since the original iPhone. It put me off. I decided that I'd wait until my next phone upgrade to get on the screen-to-body-ratio bandwagon.

I'm guessing a lot of people are in the same boat. It normally takes at least four generations before an old model of phone starts feeling slow running modern versions of apps, so we're not yet at the point where anyone who had to make that decision (small-screen light cheap phone, or big-screen expensive heavy phone) has felt the need to upgrade again, and so had the chance to re-evaluate the landscape.
So being a teen in the 80s in SoCal, there was a lot of cocaine. At every party more then one person had it. In the 90s it dropped off. In the last few years here in Silicon Valley I have noticed it has made a huge comeback based on the fact at parties at least a few people now have it again.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug that makes you want to get more cocaine. The interesting thing now is I noticed it is more social and the use of it is better controlled by the user, being a fun drug for parties, but not something you do everyday which is where it almost always let to in the 80s.
Seeing what everyone else has posted I'm very suprised that I've received a 0.3 using Chrome on Android. I'm logged in to Google and most of my browsing is via Chrome or Chrome based webview. At least on my phone I've never cleared my cookies or done anything special.
To offer a different datapoint:

On FireFox with uBlock on and logged into my corporate gmail I get 0.9, switching to a private tab I get 0.7. This is with every privacy setting turned on in the FF options.
I'm torn on this. reCAPTCHA v2 (mostly useless[0]) and v3 function largely on browser fingerprinting plus a few other heuristics (e.g., whether or not you have a Google cookie). Any meaningful privacy measures to resist fingerprinting end up with a low reCAPTCHA score. I personally run into a wall on most sites using it.

That said, it's one of the most effective means of combatting automated spam and credential stuffing attacks. In a recent implementation I did, having 2FA active for your account bypasses the captcha requirement, but the vast majority of users are still too non-technical to use 2FA and are subject to the frustrations of reCAPTCHA.

You can override a court decision (which interprets the law) by changing the law itself. All you have to do is vote for ... oh wait.
Yes, they could. I can't remember where I've seen that - maybe okta or oneLogin?
The fact that Roberts actually wrote this without his head exploding is astounding: "Vote dilution in the one-person, one-vote cases refers to the idea that each vote must carry equal weight. That requirement does not extend to political parties; it does not mean that
each party must be influential in proportion to the number of its supporters."

How can each vote carry equal weight if 60% of the voters get to select 30% of the elected officials?

They like to protect smaller birds and those that are vulnerable. They likely see cats as predators even though cats hunt smaller birds.

Indeed, if they need to pay, there is no need for a CAPTCHA. As for responding to discussions, sure, you'd ban any human that posts spam the same as any bot. However, bots can spam your site faster than your human moderators can keep up with, so by using a CAPTCHA, only humans can post (ideally, of course), and thus moderators can keep up.

As a security consultant, it is not uncommon to recommend a CAPTCHA for things like successive, three failed login attempts from a single IP address within a certain time period. But I do agree that CAPTCHAs are used too frequently, and some security people recommend them for just about everything. As someone who blocks a lot of tracking and feels the pain of these tracking monsters (that's what CAPTCHAs are these days, more than the Completely Automatic Public Turing test they're supposed to be), I always think very carefully whether a CAPTCHA is the only option, and I'm sure to recommend CAPTCHAs that fit the situation but are less invasive than a third-party one.

Edit: oh, right, credit cards are common in many countries and banks set chargeback limits. It's still crazy to me that your 'public key' is also the only thing needed to withdraw money from your account, thereby necessitating a chargeback system. I guess for credit cards a CAPTCHA might be useful too.
I don't think you should flag it until the discussion devolves. So far, it's pretty reasonable.

I designed and implemented a new login flow for the app I work on. We went from the username and password on separate pages to all fields on a single page and increased our retention significantly within the login/sign-up flow. Turns out the more steps you add to your sign-ups process, the less people want to sign-up at all.

We measured a 20% loss in users per click for the previous sign-up flow. That was quite a shock to see.

This is actually a fascinating read, despite the disappointing decision.

This section really resonates:

> It is not even clear what fairness looks like in this context. It may mean achieving a greater number of competitive districts by undoing packing and cracking so that supporters of the disadvantaged party have a better shot at electing their preferred
candidates. But it could mean engaging in cracking and packing to
ensure each party its “appropriate” share of “safe” seats. Or perhaps
it should be measured by adherence to “traditional” districting criteria. Deciding among those different visions of fairness poses basic
questions that are political, not legal. There are no legal standards
discernible in the Constitution for making such judgments. And it is
only after determining how to define fairness that one can even begin
to answer the determinative question: “How much is too much?”
Ironically for packing before travel.
Forum software like vBulletin and Invision often has this feature built in, and I've used it on a forum I help run. Unfortunately, after writing four or five custom questions, I soon found server logs showing spam bots blowing through the questions in seconds -- I suspect that since this is a common enough strategy, it's worth their time to pay someone $0.10 to pick the correct answer, then save the question and answer pair in a database somewhere for future use.

That’s added friction. Every standard username/password form takes me only one click to enter into my password manager. Your timing based approach also adds uncertainty. What if the second form is different now? What if the first request doesn’t finish in the specified delay time? When dealing with credentials, I don’t want to think about any of those things.
> That requirement does not extend to political parties

I think political parties are a non-entity as far as the US constitution (small 'c') is concerned, aren't they? So the court doesn't have any opinion on them and there are no requirements.
You can flatly assert that, but it'd be more interesting if you made an argument or cited some evidence.
