> Maybe it is different where you live but the standalone hardware key I mention is standalone: You open the website, enter your national id, find your token generator, enter pin code for hardware token, read your token, type it into the bank web site, and enter your password ib a different field.

That sounds completely different. "BankID På Kort" is basically the same experience as using an OpenPGP smartcard: it prompts you to insert the card, enter your PIN, and everything else is handled in the background.

Many banks here (and at least Nordea used the CC for this) also support manual challenge/response auth like you describe, but this is unrelated to BankID and seems to generally be considered deprecated.

> And the thing you describe seems to be very very different and I'm confident there's only one BankID product in the Nordic countries, so either it is implemented in a very different way with your bank or we aren't talking about the same thing.

From what I can tell, Swedish and Norwegian BankID are completely separate. NorBankID seems to be operated by Vipps[0] (a consortium of norwegian banks) and have existed since 2004, while SweBankID is owned by Finansiell ID-Teknik[1] (a consortium of swedish banks) since 2002.

They also don't share the logo, or seem to have any ties between their websites.

> Around here hardware tokens were supported before mobile BankID was even a thing. They are still available everywhere I log in.

Each bank generally had their own hardware tokens since before BankID (and still do).

Government services usually also support Telia's NetID (which is similar to BankID På Kort, but at least seems to provide a Linux driver).

However, BankID is also starting to become popular for services that would otherwise have been fine with plain old username/password authentication, rather than implementing U2F or TOTP. These services usually don't put a lot of thought into their implementation, and don't tend to implement alternative auth methods. Older services will support username/password for existing users, but expect it to be considered deprecated. Examples of this category would be Hallon (mobile network), Hemfrid (home cleaning service), or Kivra (crappy email without the federation).

> As for why I care, I find that BankID is a good idea, reasonably implemented, so I don't think it is OK to trash it

Don't let decent be the enemy of good.

> Take away the moral connotations for a second. If a country's population does not reproduce, tautologically, it will die off.

Countries are not defined exclusively by biological descent, so this is not tautologically true, nor is it even practically true, since negative natural growth with positive population growth had been observed in countries.
Beats me. Well, unless it's for a platform that doesn't support SVG of course, but what doesn't support SVG these days?
> they don't enjoy geographic monopolies like car dealerships do

This is a bit of a tangent, but do car dealerships have geographic monopolies in some places? I don't think I've even seen just one dealership. They always cluster around each other where I'm from - you could car shop on foot and see at least 3-4 different dealerships.
Given what is shown, minus the solar panel part, you can create such an IP camera using a RasPi Zero W, one of the small 5 MP camera modules for the Pi, and a copy of MotionEyeOS - and do it all for under $50.00 USD.

I have such a camera monitoring a part of my house. That price figure is also using Amazon prices - I'm certain you could do it even cheaper through other sources.

Another option (which I posted in another comment to this) is this neat little module that I've been thinking of playing with sometime:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32964004777.html

Even via Amazon, you can get a pair of these for around $30.00 USD. Add some cheap enclosures, and a bit of codework (there's a few projects and github repos, but nothing polished) - and those would be some cheap, but nice, IP cameras.

No idea how well these (or even my RasPi system - my camera is indoors looking outside thru a window) would fair in the elements over a long period.
This 100%. I don't do much AWS stuff - but this issue exists outside of AWS as well (inside a corp).

It's why I hate all the password rotation, double VPN stuff - people work around it too much.

All the old staff start having the tech person track their passwords or write them near the computer, all the young staff use whatever new .io domain does X super easily (but less securely) or stick things on thumb driver (no keypad) or use their personal google drive etc.
Ownership does not mean the same thing in non democratic states. The law and incorporation rules are always an approximation of what's applied in reality, but it is much more so in authoritarian states.

The real two questions are those of profit distribution and actual power, as in the ability to effect change. The latter is always constrained by the ruling party, no matter what the incorporation rules say, and no matter what the former (distribution of profits) is. It was the case in Soviet satellite countries too, except Soviet states were also harsher on profit distribution (communism).
> but the myth of Huawei’s employee ownership seems to persist outside of China.

Never heard of it, never thought about it, not sure why proving/disproving this is in the author's interest.

The main curiosity regarding what the structure of Huawei actually is would be interesting, edge of my seat for that one. But who cares about the employees, who would ever believe that it would be anything other than corporate speak? I would basically assume that because a shareholder who happens to be employed there at some point in time, that the company would make that assertion just to make people feel good. The profit sharing scheme the abstract suggests is good enough to align incentives and make the non-capital class feel like they "own" something. It is so improbable that a labor class is also a capital class that I would be more surprised to see a paper showing how it was true, and it would be from Harvard Business School and not randomly uploaded to SSRN.

That's one thing but there is also a strong anti-french and anti-british spirit in central africa which isn't new (was the case in the 90s already), and I think this hostility must be much of the source of the defiance toward foreign (ie usually white) health organisations.
>I’d really like to hear a persuasive argument as to why this is at all reasonable.

Put yourself in the shoes of some jerk from a wealthy suburb. For your kids entire life they have been under the supervision of one of the following:

You

Your spouse

A babysitter hired by you

A fellow parent (e.g. soccer coach)

A teacher

Who are camps staffed primarily by? A bunch of 18 and 19yos. Sending them to a summer camp is downright terrifying. What if they drown. What if they break an arm. What if, what if, what if....

Parents need to grow a pair and let the damn kid out of their sight and under the supervision of someone whom they cannot query for information about how their kid is doing. This facial recognition BS is replacing that feedback.

Personally, I think it's all crap but I understand why some people like it.

Humans normally have a strong aversion to murdering one another. Lots of soldiers in WWII simply would NOT fire their gun under any circumstances.

Hopefully not too much of a derail, but: the "Streisand effect" had nothing to do with nude photos [0]:

It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California inadvertently drew further public attention to it.

But, today I learned, the name seems to have been coined to describe something else a couple of years later [1]:

Mike Masnick of Techdirt coined the term in 2005 in relation to a holiday resort issuing a takedown notice to urinal.net (a site dedicated to photographs of urinals) over use of the resort's name.

I'm Korean. The author's principal mistake is casting Western anxieties onto a radically different society. This projection reveals nothing about Korea. It serves only as a linear multiplier of Western anxieties.

Confucianism and Taoism, the principal founding blocks of Korean consciousness, are deeply feminist. (Look up "Confucian feminism", "Taoist feminism", or "Do-ol" on any search engine; or just consider the fact that Feng Shui is a vagina-worshipping cult) The patriarchy apparent in them is only superficial. The superficial patriarchical aspects of Confucianism have sometimes morphed with the deeply patriarchal aspects of Christianity, and have produced some devastating effects, I admit.

Point is, you are absolutely correct, the author is exoticizing without any understanding of Korean society beyond the superficial.
>If a country's population does not reproduce, tautologically, it will die off.

No, its population will shrink. It's implausible that this will continue to the death of the country.
Glorifying this in general is definitely bad for exactly the reason you said, but I think glorifying this case specifically is fine. This is a specific case in which legal process broke down, not a case in which there weren't laws that covered or should have covered the behavior of the victim. Law gets its privilege from the consent of the governed given based on its integrity, consistency, and gradual convergence to reflect the specifics of that consensus, not by basis of being designated "law."

If the law isn't working, it will be abandoned.

Laws on race were imposed from a larger consensus on race (federally.) There's no such consensus on defending bullies who are terrorizing their neighbors. Specifics matter.
He literally said "healthcare can be cheaper and better", and this story definitely proves that.
That doesn't explain listing Bitcoin Cash (Bcash) - an altcoin that shares its mining algorithm with Bitcoin but only has a very small amount of hash rate backing it. Any small Bitcoin miner can decide at any moment to switch to mining Bitcoin Cash and cause block reorgs or mine blocks with no transactions at all.

A similar event actually happened with another asset they offer - Ethereum Classic.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-classic-51-attack-th...
I am comfortable saying the algorithm could be made neutral, but I expect it would be extremely difficult to feed it neutral data. Most of what we have now is already heavily skewed because of human involvement. Perhaps starting from scratch, a place of zero knowledge, with absolutely no input allowed from humans.

But even then, I would not accept following two random people around based on skin color and waiting for them to make a trivial mistake that justifies deeper investigation, regardless of what any data might say.
The more regulation the more ownership of the state. Private companies are mostly an illusion these days as you can't do whatever you want with "your" company. Ironically just as in communist countries, in democratic countries companies are more or less owned by the ruling parties.

No one's saying time doesn't have monetary value, it's a variable many businesses depend on, but that shouldn't mean you simply get to do the direct conversion and sidestep creating meaningful longterm value and make it more difficult for those without money to get anywhere without being under your thumb.

How BTC Is Becoming More Important Than Fiat in Venezuela
The most informative comment I’ve heard about Chinese business is that one needs to take the western conception of state / military / corporation and chuck them out the window. In essence these are all descriptive functions of the same entity in China, and any apparent separation is just that—apparent.

I know some may reply that, for example, Lockheed effectively lives at this nexus also. It’s a good argument, and probably similar though not exactly the same in arrangement.

To me, the most interesting difference is that China has this kind of relationship with its major players regardless of industry, not just their defense contractors. So it doesn’t matter if you make cell phones, video games, toilet seats, ship hulls, or concrete—the whole concept of an enterprise not being interdependent on the state is a non-starter there. Whether it’s happening via backchannels to party officials or through ownership schemes like this one, the concept of private and public sector is so muddy there as to be almost meaningless.

To me, this tells us a lot more about IP infringement and espionage than what we usually read, because where the west likes to conceive of corporations as competing in a market in China it’s more useful to describe corporations as tools of statecraft.

Huawei wants us to think of them as competing with Apple because they both make cellphones. In reality, it’s as though the CIA or Mossad was competing with Apple—the aims of each may in fact be orthogonal to each other because market performance is not the real driver of the company’s decisions.

By brand/corporate representation they do. So you’ll see a cluster of different brands all around the same interchange - but that might be the only, say, Toyota dealership in the area.

OK, those are all good points. For several years, I've been writing about this stuff. And I have commonly gotten feedback that it's all too complicated. Even from people who clearly want more privacy.

That's what's so good about Tails. You just boot it, and have a secure Debian system with Tor. But there are some vulnerabilities. Especially because the Tor daemon and userland are not isolated.

It one point, I experimented with packing VirtualBox, a pfSense VPN gateway, and Whonix, in a LiveDVD. It required 8GB RAM, and took minutes to boot. But once it was up, it was quite snappy, because it was all in RAM.

Anyway, it would be cool if someone could pack all of that in an app.

A comment like "got any sources for that?" without adding additional context is low effort and inching towards trolling.
Another difference is while the parent post of that person's comment it would be nice to include sources, it is about a general topic people can attempt to look for public sources themselves. Your comment you are accusing a forum user (dang) of something and there is no reasonable way to look for sources backing up your opinion/claim.

It is in Huawei's interest to not be labelled as a state-owned or state-controlled actor. The perception of being controlled by the Chinese state is precisely why many western countries are leaning away from purchasing Huawei networking equipment for their up and coming 5G networks, and also (at least in the case of the US) advising against, and then banning, consumer electronics made by Huawei. Huawei has been trying to convince the public that it is in fact employee owned and therefore not controlled by the Chinese state by touting its "employee virtual ownership program", and the purpose of this paper appears to be to dispel that notion.

8 years ago I was using jQuery and good self contain JS objects. Each of them had responsibility over specific part of the DOM. The beauty of that is that in that why you can keep thing simple and updates already well optimized by default.

I understand that by default with JS you can write code that in one place touch every part of the page.

But no framework or language protect you from bad code practices and bad abstractions. They may avoid it at a specific abstraction level but unless you are disciplined and you know what you are doing, you are still screwed beyond that.

Component libraries like React did not invent encapsulation, abstractions, separation of concerns, loose coupling and high cohesion, they just enforce them at their level of abstraction but let you paying the "unoptimized" recalculate all by default.

In fact I saw a bunch of code written in React that are big balls of mud communicating together without a good abstraction logic.

Redux, in the React ecosystem, is pretty good at keep the state in one place but pretty bad to hide implementation details to those component that should not be concerned with them... result? Refactoring a reducer can results in refactoring a lot of smart components. And the verbosity of using Redux has always been off the chart.

The best part of React documentation is here:https://reactjs.org/docs/thinking-in-react.html - Especially in steps 3 and 4. Learn that and use it with the framework of choice or just vanillaJS... You do not use that and you will be in trouble with React or any other framework.
