Thanks for sharing that, first time I see it!

These passages and the localism movement (ie. Wrath of Gnon twitter) make me think that maybe there are things that society should explicitly avoid applying any lessons we learn from "Fast" projects, because they necessarily require time to develop properly:

> “Brasilite,” as a term, also underscores how the built environment affects those who dwell in it. Compared to life in Rio and Sao Paulo, with their color and variety, the daily round in bland, repetitive, austere Brasilia must have resembled life in a sensory deprivation tank. The recipe for high-modernist urban planning, while it may have created formal order and functional segregation, did so at the cost of a sensorily impoverished and monotonous environment-an environment that inevitably took its toll on the spirits of its residents.

and

> First, existing structures are evolved organisms built by people trying to satisfy their social goals. They contain far more wisdom about people’s needs and desires than anybody could formally enumerate.
I've also taken a look into Wikipedia and it says

> The city's design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector, and the Embassy Sector.

LOL. Perhaps they should also have a groceries sector and a parks sector (as far from the living sector as possible preferably). IMHO zoning is bullshit. I still believe in intelligent design for cities but only as long as it actually is intelligent, not just pretty-looking. Perhaps we could even use algorithms to optimize the layout.
Let's say that it wasn't you who logged in with a valid username and password, it was an attacker.

Under what circumstances does the phone number prompt prevent the attacker from accessing your account?

Perhaps they used phishing? Then they can just phish the SMS code as well.

Perhaps they're a MITM over an insecure channel? Then they can just wait for you to enter the SMS code.

Perhaps you installed their malware? Then they can just inject some code into the browser.
What's the fundamental difference between an employer / employee relationship (where economic power can be wielded) and a police office / arestee relationship (where legal power can be weilded)?

What makes the latter "inherently coercive" but not the former?

Aren't these just different degrees of fundamentally the same thing?
True that software upgrades are a new paradigm exemplified by Tesla, but potentially also monetized (appified), so a skeptical person might think these add-on "features" will increasingly become ongoing revenue streams, as with our driving data, or privacy thereof.
Just as an example of how normalized and encouraged drinking is, this is currently #8 on reddit's homepage: https://old.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/emya64/saw...
As a user, I prefer gethostbyname to getaddrinfo. The text-only browser I use actually has --without-getaddrinfo as a compile time option, so I know I am not alone in this preference. The best "stub resolvers" are programs like dnsq, dq, drill, etc. They do not do any "resolution", they just send queries according the user's specification.

As a user, I expect that the application interfacing with the resolver routines provided by the OS will respect the configuration settings I make in resolv.conf. Having to audit every application for how it handles DNS resolution is a headache.

https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-dns-ad-blocker-chrome/

I recall there were earlier experiments with internal DNS resolution in Chromium, e.g., code was added then removed.

Browser DNS caches are another annoyance but that is not what I meant.
Possibly, but at least in the news it’s been primarily men. Could be just reporting bias. Would be interesting if there were actual numbers though.
Casper caters to stress, ripoff anxiety, social anxiety, and budget.

1. We, the millennial crowd (tm), are insanely stressed on average. Whether it's objectively genuine or falsely perceived, brought on by ourselves or otherwise, it is something we enjoy having control over -- And choosing a "simple" mattress that is straightforward to research and buy caters to that desire perfectly. For awhile Casper only had one mattress, and it seemed like an irrefutably decent mattress. You simply chose the size!

2. If you don't like the mattress you can return it within a period of time. Mattress sellers often offer this, but Casper advertises it. It adds a sense of authenticity to the sale, and I think many people (not just millenials) feel more at peace about buying the mattress without trying it first.

3. It's shipped to you and comes in a box. Usually there's no talking involved. Nobody has to come into your home. Regardless, many of us don't even have a vehicle to pick up a mattress with anyway, nor the available friends to help bring it in through the front door. Maybe a delivery person would help but what if they don't? And what if you miss the delivery?

4. Monthly payments. I feel most millennials don't really care about the total cost of something, as long as there's a monthly payment option that is reasonable. Paycheck-to-paycheck is the format we're used to budgeting in, which easily puts a monthly payment into perspective. $35/month versus $350 upfront is way more manageable.
When you have a guy who works at a company wondering if his company was responsible for an election result and making LOTR references...then you know something has gone wrong.

No, Facebook isn't powerful enough to sway an election (I get that some people are really angry about Trump...if you aren't thinking rationally, don't have an opinion rather than start up with the conspiracy theories). No, business/life is not like LOTR. There aren't goodies and baddies (irony, this is part of why Trump was elected).
Fermented foods such as kombucha are trendy, but not necessarily probiotics
If you haven't done already, take a look at don't delivery improvements. Serve don't files locally, subset them, and use variable fonts and woff2. I'm a micro performance enthusiast myself and it's my #1 optimization with the biggest gain.
For what it’s worth, CPU compatibility with old segmented code (like Windows 3.11) is a bit iffy these days for a silly legacy reason. The old x87 floating point coprocessor had two registers FCS and FDS — they’re the CS and DS segments at the time of the last x87 data instruction. This was used for the 386’s asynchronous FPU exception handling. Fast forward to the ultramodern 486, and floating point exception handling was cleaned up and FCS and FDS became unnecessary, but they were kept for compatibility. All was well.

Unfortunately, AMD made a mistake in AMD64: the new 64-bit floating point context switching instructions couldn’t switch the FCS and FDS registers. This not only broke some very old software when run on a new kernel or hypervisor, but it also created a potential information leak.

Sadly, new CPUs “fix” this in an unfortunate way. Trying to read FCS or FDS gives zero. Now some very old software is broken.
This may be the dream but is not and has not been the reality of rooting phones and flashing them with custom software.

It's ugly, it's error-prone, and the software that attempts to simplify it doesn't and is of unknown trustworthiness. A very unhappy path.

Absolutely not a reasonable option for the typical user, and an even less reasonable expectation that they should do it or should have known to.
This is very interesting. Do you have a third party security evaluation that you can share?
Leaving the rest of this alone, it’s very far from clear that raising life expectancy beyond what it currently is would be “better for society”.

Are you in a place where you can buy a hybrid Yaris? What is the difference between that and a Prius C? I used to think it was regrettable that Toyota wouldn't hybridize their cheapest most practical car in the US, but then I learned that the Prius C was the best selling car in Japan for a while, so I'm not sure whether we're missing out or not.

What does this mean? Where can I read more about this?
A cost of implementing TOTP is ID verification at the time the user needs replacement credentials, eg when they lose the phone that had their TOTP secret. With SMS, this cost is offset to the mobile carrier, though as discussed here, carriers have their own vulnerabilities.

A further cost is that they usually require the user to install and set up an app, contrary to SMS.
> how would you distinguish it from the many other small niche markets - like bingo card creators or D&D character sheet generation - that fail to become large growth companies?)

The definition of 'startup' I like best is "a new business that's designed to arbitrage a temporary disequilibrium to produce extraordinary returns."

With bingo card creator or D&D character sheets, there is no temporary economic disequilibrium.

Whereas with Apple, the arbitrage opportunity is that there were personal computer chips but no personal computers. With Facebook it was that there were a billion people who owned computers, but there wasn't anything connecting the people behind the computers. It wasn't obvious that Apple and Facebook would be successful in advance, but they were clearly hitching a ride on mega trends that were already obvious ahead of time. When there is an obvious mega trend, but no dominant company for that mega trend, then that's basically an economic low pressure area that needs to get equilibrated.

With bingo card creator or d&d character sheets, nothing had changed to create any sort of arbitrage opportunity. Maybe there is a demand for those products, maybe there isn't, but a new product with demand does not a startup make.

No, the press shouldn't be regulated. Yes, bias is normal. No, Fox News doesn't "swing public opinion" (they reflect views that already exist, and pander to them). Life is difficult, you have to think for yourself.

Apple accounts in general also have mandatory SMS 2FA if 2FA is enabled.
In many European countries SIM cards are actually locked to a number.

If you change your SIM card you'll have to reset your 2FA setup on the banks site. It's done on the carrier side.

I still hate it tho, as you are locked to a phone number and it sucks when you move countries a lot.

As others say, once you reach the point of a letter of intent-- there's no way a buyer wants you carrying their LOI around to everyone in the world trying to get a better offer while the buyer is committing resources trying to get the deal done.

It's reasonable to expect a ("reverse") break-up fee, but it is not likely to be half the deal value.
I suppose you could do it for the top level application code, but all past definitions of libraries must remain. That's the thing that allows safe updates of shared dependencies.
“Hillbilly Elegy” Author Starts VC Fund Backed by Peter Thiel
The are sites like Breitbart, that are partisan but perhaps not quite at the level of just making everything up, seem to have a lot of "news" articles that follow the pattern "Person X said something about Y". I have no reason to think that these articles are lies, and that person X didn't really say something about Y, but in general it's not obvious why anyone should care about what X says, especially when they are not likely to be experts in Y, or even have any inside information about it. They can also be statements taken out of context, or just slips of the tongue, but it's still considered "newsworthy" if it bolsters the partisan case.
Gondor Heavy Infantry Kit Review
Thanks for your comment. You might be correct.

What people on the internet are recommending is as long as the brand names would not be confusing it would be fine. The term "confusing" seems to be the tricky part. A trademark attorney would probably clarify it for us.
For me, almost purely nostalgia. As silly as it sounds, meeting goals I set for myself when I was 12. (Plus a sprinkling of convenience; the scan-doubler lets me use a leftover flatscreen instead of a hulking CRT, ethernet saves me a lot of heartache transferring files from my desktop, etc).

But mostly just games. I didn't really play games from roughly 1995-2010 for various reasons, so Amiga (and megadrive) are still where a lot of my old favourites are. Thanks to Catalina, my desktop can't play civ5 anymore. But my Amiga can still play civ1!

You can actually create graphics in the Flash WYSIWYG editor and import them into OpenFL. You won't get the exact same workflow, but it's not completely lacking the visual tooling either.
I think you've only taken the first level interpretation of what the author wrote and let it hit too close to home.

It's absolutely true that large tech companies throw massive amounts of compensation and perks to lull workers into a sense of security. How do you think people go into Facebook day after day while new stories about their abuses come out?

If you're just passively going into work year by year without thinking about whether or not the thing you're striving for actually fulfills you, you are absolutely exhibiting sheep-like behavior. For that matter, if you go off and start a company and throw yourself into it without some introspection, you're also exhibiting sheep-like behavior. In fact, there are posts about this that reach the top of HN every once in a while. There was one just the other week.

If you haven't met many people or yourself been someone who has fallen prey to this in tech, I'd say you're either exceptionally focused/self-aware, or you might be snacking on some lotus in your spare time. Either way, whether or not you're a lotus eater, or simply someone who is content with achieving the goals they've set in front of themselves is something that only you can know.
Thanks ngnk, but what if I can't read the entire file into memory (Ex: 20 GB file)? Are there any streaming words?
I spent about 6 months using helm and made around 20+ charts for the services.

In the end we got rid of it and replaced it with Terraform. If your infrastructure is 100% kubernetes then I think helm is great. Our infrastructure is not. We have databases, dns, buckets, service accounts and more so we were splitting our setup between terraform and helm. Passing data between the two tools was going to be a pain. We follow a layered approach of building up the infrastructure.

1) Networking: DNS
2) secrets, service accounts, buckets
3) DBs
4) Pre-application config (istio)
5) Services

Semi-related things are together and all of those cloud provider values we need are saved as secrets. We are on GCP so that means we need things like service accounts to access GCP resources (buckets, cloudsql) and all of those variables are available to our services to pick up.

And Terraform has STATE. This is unbelievably valuable when doing continuous delivery as you can tell what changed on every deploy and deploys are FAST. One thing that really bugged me about helm was that determining if a deploy failed was a post helm event. We were going to have to write monitoring for service health/uptime on deploy. This is not hard at all but you get it for free with terraform. If a service failed to start, terraform will throw an error...

I don't think people know that Terraform has a kubernetes provider. It does not support all the alpha objects but has decent support for 99% of the things you need. I wish someone made a provider for istio virtual services and service entries.
Those don't really have any effect in the context of political ads on Facebook.
Want to sell your startup: don't be desperate; people smell that--and it stinks.

Attract buyers (put out press releases about how well you're doing--hire a PR firm), and then Say No. Tell them are too busy to prepare financials, and your lawyers refuse to waste their time. Just say no But Be NICE About it.

This works like a motherfucker because (A) People Really Want What They Can't Have... and (B) They Already Really, Really Want It Because Of The Press Releases. (C) Hire a Real Negotiator--and a person who is dispassionate about the business. Pay them a percentage of the gross profits; of course you tell them a bottom line number which is the lowest offer you'd accept.

Put the sale money in escrow and you each pay 50% of the due diligence cost After the money is in the bank.

Lots of words are meaningless the way certain people use them.

Personally, I don’t care. If the most popular use of a term is nonsensical, I use next most popular meaning that has some sensical usage.

I don’t buy this whole “you can’t use the words ‘racist’ or ‘cloud’ because they’re so overused as to be meaningless” thing. Words are (briefly) overused all the time. And then they’re not, and we can carry on using them according to their original purpose.
I agree. Terraform and it's providers are unbelievably powerful for deployments. Being able to create any sort of resource and passing that information onto your kubernetes service to use is really great.

An example would be creating a dynamically names S3 bucket and passing it onto your service to use/manage. The same goes with anything needing credentials. Very powerful.
Maybe a no shop clause should have a tight time to live.... “ok we commit but only if you put the money in our account within seven days, after that shopping is ok”
Have you ever accurately measured the time it takes you to get to ~60mph "briskly" and "aggressively", and compared it to the theoretical capability of your car according to say Car & Driver? I suspect people of generally having an unrealistic idea of how much of the performance of their car they do and can use.

Also, you know, there are a lot of vehicles that are much slower than 10 seconds 0-60 on the roads, even though 10 seconds has become pretty much the maximum for late model cars in the US. Commercial vehicles aren't going to disappear or do 0-60 in 5 seconds even if they had the power.
The terraform provider has caught up a bit in the last 6 months. It is still missing things like CRD support.

For those things we use a direct kubectl yaml provider.

I wish there was an istio provider!

It’s not shocking that any politician would lie. But it is newsworthy when a specific politician lies.

The meme you’re pushing here, that lying for politicians is par for the course and not worthy of note, is pretty destructive: An important part of political discourse is deciding what to believe when.
Do note the Nazis didn't target the Jews exclusively. They had a plan calling for the near total extermination of all people of Slavic origin. They just were stopped before they could bring it to completion -- though they did manage to start it!

My interest is greenhouse gas emissions, not in wealth transfer shell games.

If Tesla did not sell the right to pollute to the highest bidder, produced Teslas would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But they do, so every Tesla sold results in a mirror SUV created. Buying a Tesla does not help with climate change. I might as well buy the SUV and let some sucker on the other side of the trade deal with the premium prices, charging hassle, and range anxiety that comes with EV ownership.

What good is a marginally cheaper Tesla if, at the end of day, it doesn’t reduce pollution one bit?

You're the right person to ask this I think - what is likely the attributable cause of death responsible for this? Mostly the overdoses, or other disease-related things?
The thing is - this is impossible to quantify. So basically, you are left with a binary decision - is it okay to overturn peoples civil liberties over arbitrary quotas or not. Personally - having suffered the devastation an addiction of a close relative causes in everyone around them - i would still prefer the current model where people are not forced to things against their will just because they drink too much alcohol.

I’ve gotten my last two king foam mattresses from Walmart.com. Comfortable and $500 or less.

I don’t know how places like Casper keep selling mattresses.
Yeah, and my local walmart has a section where there is no network coverage; I was browsing the store and wanted to check something on my bank app; it prompted me for SMS code, which I didn't receive because of no network; & I would not have received the Google prompt if I needed one for the same reason.
