> When Elon Musk secured $1.3 billion from Nevada in 2014 to open a gigantic battery plant, Jeff Bezos noticed. In meetings, the Amazon.com Inc. chief expressed envy for how Musk had pitted five Western states against one another in a bidding war for thousands of manufacturing jobs; he wondered why Amazon was okay with accepting comparatively trifling incentives. It was a theme Bezos returned to often, according to four people privy to his thinking. Then in 2017, an Amazon executive sent around a congratulatory email lauding his team for landing $40 million in government incentives to build a $1.5 billion air hub near Cincinnati. The paltry sum irked Bezos, the people say, and made him even more determined to try something new.

Since there's a central server involved in this authentication (as far as I understand how TV works), that's not the only way to do this, nor is it the best way. A better way is to store some other token that can be used to verify that the user has logged in before and has a valid session, one way to do that is to sign and encrypt data saying which user they were logged in as. This prevents the password itself from ever being retrieved even if they can still use it to impersonate the user to TV

Of course. If we didn't, HN would be a spam site.

Explanations are always available when people ask, and we answer questions like this every day.

We banned the site you linked to because promotional accounts have been spamming HN with dozens of submissions from it, and because it appears to be mostly blogspam, i.e. lifted from other sources. I just did a spot check, and indeed the most recent submission (https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/med...) was lifted from https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/newport-mediev.... HN readers expect us to ban that kind of thing. This isn't the class of sites I was talking about above (note the word "major").

That said, I agree exceptions should be reserved for exceptional circumstances. Something like checking if a record exists or not should probably use something like Optional instead, unless you are in a situation where a record "should" exist but doesn't (which is itself an exceptional case).

The Nixu Challenge
Astrology is based on the notion of "fixed stars" which we now know to be false. The stars we see in the sky are just some of the 100 thousand million in our galaxy and our galaxy is just one of 100 billion galaxies. That being the case, the idea that these particular stars should have any special meaning is demonstrably absurd. That being the case, how do you justify indulging peoples' search for meaning by using a false system which drives them away from reality?
It does look a bit asymmetric on the left there. But difficult to say given that there are 4 wheels on each side.
$employer has recently been acquired by a big international corp. As part of the acquisition they have been "auditing" (really checkbox ticking and superficial API scans) our applications. One of the issues that came up is that we were using bcrypt as password hashing algo and our new overlords had a whitelist policy that only included sha2 variants and perhaps ripemd or something like that. We argued that their whitelist was totally inadequate for password hashing and pointed to multiple national standards bodies. The people doing the audit just ignored everything we explained to them and repeatedly pointed at the policy (which they weren't in charge of themselves).

Several people on my team were opining to just comply because it's the easiest way to do and they were concerned about their job security if they would go "against security".

My takeaway from that experience was that the people in charge of corporate security policies and audits are not experts in security, they are experts in reshuffling responsibility and covering asses. And many developers are easily cowed by them.

The result is compliant software, not secure software.

The reason clouds are starting to be simulated now where they weren't before is probably because we have only recently had the computing power available to do this at the level of detail required. Switching the 'clouds' feature on and off is part of the model verification process.

They discuss model verification for weather models and they touch on how this also applies to climate modelling.

Storing a hash would be better because it wouldn't leak the actual password. People have a tendency to use the same password over again as well as sharing them between logins, so this is bad.

Not using the Data Protection API makes it easier to extract the password.

So while you're right that storing the password has some consequences, they should have done better, especially since their product is focused towards non-techs as well.

I'm not an expert so I'm just gonna ask the question. How is this different than what my web browsers do with all the passwords they memorize for me? They are stored locally, and encrypted, not hashed, with a key that is hard-coded somewhere. Right?
If I could downvote you I would, but this comment will have to suffice.
> When the user hits "save password" on the client-side, the client needs to save the actual (plain text) password in order to replay it for future logins.

It's still insecure to store a user password as-is. TeamViewer should create an session key of some sort that is unique to this machine instead of replaying the username/password.

Even without psychedelics, persons suffering from psychological issues can have breakdowns in therapeutic sessions. Professional therapists are very careful to not unlock 'dangerous' memories and insights prematurely, they wait until they consider the patient ready to deal with it. They also have emergency plans in place, reaching so far as taking care that an overwhelmed patient is afterwards treated in a hospital for a while to safely recover. Do you have such emergency plans in place?

While I trust that you can give psychologically healthy people a good experience, I have a hard time imagining how you could give the necessary support to people with larger issues. And because those issues are often deeply hidden, it is hard even for professionals to detect that in advance.

> how bad do the conditions on Earth have to get before it makes sense to try to move to a planet that is essentially uninhabitable?

Fort Bridger, Wyoming has a population of 345[0]. California has a population of nearly 40 million[1]. Should those crazy people of the 19th century never have bothered with Fort Bridger?

Inhabiting a habitable planet outside our solar system is so far beyond our current capabilities that there is no point putting any money in to it.

Any kind of foothold on a second planet within our solar system would change that reality. Routine travel between Earth and Mars would provide heaps and heaps of experience and capability. It would make any discussion of colonizing outside our solar system much more reasonable than it is today.

Inhabiting Mars was never the end goal. It just happens to be the most practical one in a much much much larger picture.

Telegram Founder on WhatsApp Hacks: Backdoors Are Camouflaged as Security Flaws
Most negotiation strategies attempt to optimize deal terms. This article makes the point that when post-deal relationships are important, it is better to optimize a combination of deal terms and quality of the post-deal relationship. It concludes that a softer approach better achieves this broader goal by yielding a much better relationship even though it might be at the cost of worse deal terms.

I largely agree with this, although the researchers omit the important tactic of developing an acceptable alternative deal with a counter-party's competitor and then focusing negotiation on comparisons to it. Done well, you can still drive a hard bargain in a soft way, while maintaining the relationship by diverting the counter-party's resulting negative feelings away from you and towards the competitor.
