It uses the SIM to implement a challenge-response mechanism where a PIN is prompted by your phone.
While not perfect, it's vastly better than using SMS, without being less convenient.

I don't know if other places leverage the fact that SIMs are smart cards which are perfectly able to perform this kind of stuff given the proper infrastructure.

I would also imagine that, especially during interviews, they recognize their duty is in part to sell the candidate on the firm. There's an implicit pressure to be positive about your company because there's only downside to saying negative things, even if it's honest. I don't see why an employee would put themselves on the line with a candidate, who they may never work with nor see again, just to express what they think is right.
There are several identifiable commenting communities, and quite a few different voices.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. It’s a fair question to ask.

“Why can’t I buy” is essentially equivalent to “why doesn’t anyone sell”, which is basically “why isn’t there a market for?”

It’s possible to have a conversation around “why isn’t there a market for ARM desktops?” or equivalent but a conversation about “why isn’t there a market for anything but x86” would basically be enumerating the alternatives and examining each.

Nobody is going to open a store aimed at the “anyone but x86” market.
For anyone who wants a US bank with TOTP, schwab works! I was pleasantly surprised to discover this. It uses some symantec stuff (as did paypal earlier), but it's TOTP underneath and can be used with any TOTP app.
The people probably had a moral conflict: the good Facebook money but lose "their souls", or go with their conscience, quit and lose that money and work friendships/network. So, so they can sleep at night they've convinced themselves the company they're a part of wasn't the responsible party. So "Hey, those users opted-in, it's their own fault!".

Funny how it means the company is now probably full of either "ignorance is bliss" or morally bankrupt people, because the people with good conscience have left. Not that society at large is much different... what uncomfortable truths are we ignoring?

Can Ranked-Choice Voting Save American Democracy?
From the article (and where I slowly stopped reading):
"The images produced by Cameos were slightly cartoony, meaning that the digital avatar looked a little bit more like a Bitmoji than the user’s real face. But the effect was essentially the same — it took someone’s likeness and spliced it onto another body or into another scene.
"

This is presented as DeepFake-like technology. However the whole issue with DeepFakes is that they are (or can be) indistinguishable from a real video. Any tech or feature that deliberately or due to limitations in the approach doesn't do that isn't really DeepFaking anything, so I don't quite think the article is on the right track. Once companies actually incorporate DeepFake tech we might be able to make some sort of early assessment, but it's way too early to draw any conclusions yet.

Edit: I guess the author gets this notion from a TechCrunch article they linked, which also essentially calls all these type of filters DeepFaking. It's not. Really, look at the videos of Cameo.

On a side note, we should really have a proper name for this (ultrarealistic fake videos), since the origin of DeepFake is indeed a bit too specific to the technology. Who knows, maybe in the future there are other approaches that will work as well.

While we love our natural latex (from flobeds.com, no affiliation!) bed, it doesn't last forever. We had to replace ours at 15 years - while it was still better off than a spring mattress, it still had become worn. It had valleys and clumps - basically the latex was somewhat broken down. Compared to the new mattress, the old was more brittle and would tear easy, while the new one was resilient and springy.

The difference between it and normal spring mattresses is amazing though. I highly recommend them!

Ask HN: CMS for static pages on a React website?
Hello,

I'm looking for a tool or a service that will allow a marketing team or a product team to add static pages to an existing site built in React. I have two use cases:

1. Lead generation, creating custom pages for different type of customers with forms to get in contact with our Sales team

2. SEO, creating content on our site

Ideally I'm looking for solution type WebFlow that a non-technical person can interact with but embedded on an existing site.

Thanks for the help,
I'm guessing it might be that the people working hard on maintaining user privacy are not the same as the people making the decisions, so the former feels they're treated unfairly.

The story is far more complex than this, and the history makes interesting reading. As one might imagine, what we call software development today was really split into an array of roles: some more like mathematicians, some like engineers, some typists, etc.

The idea that women were somehow shut out of the industry doesn't really hold up. My programming classes in the 80s, for example, were about 50-50, and in my early career, I worked under several senior women programmers/technologists.

It can be (kinda) done if your language has a parsing grammar.

It doesn't work in practice, since most languages eventually discard parser generators for custom parsing, and good tooling like syntax highlighters don't rely on the literal grammar but something close enough to the grammar to work and still be useful for programmers.

Classic example is you don't want your parser to be strictly defined and fail at any error. You want it to handle errors gracefully and detect almost correct syntax.

Having written some textmate grammars for syntax highlighting I think the post is ridiculous. I'd be terrified to generate that json from the parser, since a bit of thought and experimentation has to go into getting a good syntax highlighter that works with external tooling.

As well I think an LSP implementation is really important, but writing that in your language or generating it from the compiler is a monumental task for a young language and a terrible idea.

We'll have to agree to disagree on point 1, as there's plenty of common knowledge out there that I don't need to muddy the thread with.

The parent comment was referring to the general election of 49%, and the "grab by the pussy" story broke after the primary was over, so point 3 is a straw man argument.

Do they have them out to try in the store?
You’d be crazy to guarantee exclusivity when negotiating sale of your company.

It would make more sense to give an absolute assurance that you’re talking to all possible buyers and that the potential buyer should understand that you might easily sell at any moment.

Exclusive negotiation is the precise opposite of a good approach.

Indeed implying that there are other negotiating parties is almost an essential component of any such negotiation.
He might be comparing door-to-door, which is what you really should be doing if you want an apples-to-apples comparison. Just counting the scheduled time means you're ignoring delays (Caltrain suffers delays on a regular basis), wait time (Caltrain has scheduled waits of up to 40 minutes even during rush hour².), and whatever driving/walking/biking you need on the last mile either side.

E.g., catching the 7:28a gets you to SF at 8:54a¹, for a train time of 1h 26m. Wait is between 0 and 22 minutes, so let's use the average of 11m: 1h 37m. 10 minute walk/bike either side, and it's 1h 57m.

That ride costs $298.50/mo, or about $7.50 one-way.

¹if you transfer to the bullet. If you don't, add 6 minutes.

²e.g., 7:25a at Mountain View, NB. The next fastest train to SF departs at 8:05a. The 7:46a train departs sooner, but arrives 6 minutes after the 8:05a.

What's the big friggin deal that the desktop lacks a 7.1 analog output. If you want high quality headphone audio, USB audio is practically plug and play on any OS these days. I don't get it.

Dude, audiophiles run complicated setups. Maybe their receiver doesn't take HDMI and they'd prefer to route that to the TV. Maybe they're using analog amps from the 70s that take 1/4" balanced TRS. Maybe lots of things. That thought process is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to rigid, inflexible designs that lock people into parts or hardware they don't want to use
Or you could be propogating a conspiracy theory. Hard to say without cited evidence.
Many engineers focus on sales and marketing all the time as a normal course of jobs that involve product management. Many engineers already take into account sales and marketing perspectives in very effective ways, especially quantitative ways that are underused by employees whose sole jobs are exclusively in sales or marketing.

It’s very tiring to see engineers be tacitly assumed to need remedial time in other fields to gain sufficient appreciation for them, especially when the reciprocal deficiency of experience in engineering is virtually never raised for sales, marketing, etc. while engineers often do self-learn quite effective product and business skills.
Just wanted to say that working with Casper customer service was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.

I bought their top of the line hybrid mattress then a few weeks later they had a sale which could be used on any of their products if you bought a mattress. We really wanted the lamps so we contacted customer service to see if it was possible to get the discount since we just bought the mattress. The girl was extremely rude making it seem like I was wasting her time. She told me that there was no way to add anything to an existing order so I couldn’t do it. I asked if I had to return the mattress and reorder it to get the lamps and she said yes that’s what I would have to do but no I was out of luck because they took too long to respond to me (called after they didn’t respond to any of my messages) so the promotion was over. The whole time she just seemed annoyed that I even tried to ask.

Sorry I spent $2000 on a mattress and wanted to spend more on another product. I just returned it and got a Novosbed for half the price and it was way better so I’m pretty glad it turned out that way. Keep in mind that Casper can’t sell a return so they have to donate it. The whole return was a mess to deal with as well. Glad they lost money on the return even if they get to write some of the donation off.

Guess my point is that I don’t think Casper treats their customers well. I wouldn’t touch them as an investment. I personally think they’re just cashing out at this point.

I don't care all that much about the taxes of people who have tens of millions, and I'm all for finding ways to fund better safety nets.

I do care that such taxes have a tendency to spread to lower tax brackets, once they're perceived as acceptable at all. I don't want to see wealth taxes being assessed on people in the "finally paid off the house" bracket, or the "successfully saved for retirement" bracket. And as long as those brackets are above the median wealth, there's a serious danger of that happening. It's much easier to argue against wealth taxes before they exist at all, and much harder to continuously keep them from affecting more people.

(Example: if wealth taxes become acceptable, I would not be at all surprised if people in areas where houses still cost 5 figures support wealth taxes at a level that affects people just like them who happen to live in areas where houses cost more. Arbitrary wealth taxes are not a power I trust politicians with, no matter how much they promise not to abuse them now.)

I also care that such taxes require much more invasive information-gathering (of much fuzzier information) to assess. (The value of property that isn't directly denominated in currency and isn't in the process of being bought or sold for currency is quite fuzzy.) Other parts of this thread already cover various aspects of that issue, though.

> Sometimes you pay tax on value you earn, sometimes on value you give away, and sometimes on value you have.

Taxes on "value you have" are quite rare; taxes on homes/land are just about the only common example, and those are already controversial for a variety of reasons.

Conversational quality metrics are difficult to come by. Most tend to be expensive to calculate, especially in the absence of clearly parseable engagement information (e.g., likes, re-shares, comments). I've played with this concept in a few cases, most recently when trying to make assessments of activity / genuine community in Google+ Communities, prior to their shutdown.

Some of the more interesting research I'm aware of was based on Usenet, looking at thread dynamics, out of Microsoft Research, in the early/mid aughts. I think it was Marc A. Smith, see for example:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/picturi...

https://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240051972/MIcrosoft-Res...

(There were more detailed discussions I've seen in the past, I don't have references handy.)

In particularly, post/response dynamics seemed to fit a number of distinct categories:

- Single post, many responses, no follow-up: question with a single obvious answer provided by many.

- Single post, extended discussion, "conversation-killing" response: hard question, with unclear answer, eventually obviously provided.

- Long descending "right-shifted" thread between two parties: personality conflict / flame thread.

- Post, much response, multiple parties: successful trolling.

I've played a bit with the notion of indicators of significant vs. insignificant discussion, based on sentinal keywords: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/3hp41w/trackin...

Perhaps on Internet yes, but you should also look up Minitel, the 1980s French interactive directory service that, among many other services, provided online banking from home. I think it mostly relied on physical (i.e. closed network) security as opposed to any cryptography.

In the 1990s, French banks apparently considered providing online banking on the open and public Internet as much riskier than on the closed and proven Minitel (and probably quite rightly so).
