correct. society considers (IMO correctly) violent crimes much worse than non-violent crimes.
It'd be about as secure as writing down a password or using a password manager.

Note that it would be a password, not multi-factor authentication. These days, really, the important part isn't so much "something you know" vs. "something you have," it's the nature of how the credentials work.

A password is sort of a one-way credential, something that serves by itself to authenticate you (or whoever is in possession of it). Anyone who holds the password can authenticate until it's changed. You should pick a long password, something that it hard for others to guess.

A phone number (SMS or phone call) requires an active cell network connection. This is spoofable/interceptable/SIM-jackable, but for the most part, it retains the important property that at the time you log in, the site makes a request to your device to confirm the login. Things like Duo Push is a less attackable version of this mechanism. In both cases that makes it harder to use stolen credentials if "stolen" simply means 'digitally copied" - they'd need some way of disabling the actual physical device in your possession, too.

A code generator doesn't require an network connection, but it's still active unlike passwords: it changes every 30-60 seconds. That means a code that logs you in now can't actually log you in forever, so someone who happens to intercept a particular login request (say, someone who watches you type) can't come back and log in later. They'd need the long-term secret which isn't ordinarily revealed by the app except during backups. Things like RSA hardware tokens are less attackable versions of this mechanism. An SSH key also falls in this category - logging in with the SSH key doesn't reveal the entire key, the way logging in with a password does.

A security key (U2F/FIDO/WebAuthn) is active like a code generator, but it also verifies the website that's requesting the credential. If someone tricks you into visiting gitIab.com (with a capital I), your browser will send that domain name to the security key, which will not respond with your actual gitlab.com credentials. A password manager with a browser extension is a weaker form of this mechanism - there are a lot more avenues to attack, but fundamentally none of the above mechanisms attempt to be resistant to phishing / social-engineering attacks.

So, sure, you could use a large QR code as a password, but that doesn't get you the protections against attacks that the other MFA mechanisms do. It's well worth setting up MFA on important accounts even if you are using a long and unique password, because it protects you from attacks other than password-guessing.

Yes. The big errors appear when you remember x is actually (1+ε)x, as explained towards the end of the article. If you assume the inputs are exact then you get an accurate result, but if you are doing error analysis that does not help you.
It’s even more important in that case because writing a pizza delivery website isn’t a complex nor new problem so doesn’t need a complex solution.

But to answer your question, if you write clean code then when that company expands it’s operations it is easier for you (or whoever next gets commissioned) to later expand on that site to add more restaurants, thus then allowing your customer to sell more pizzas.
> I think what google did better was marketing.

What google did was make it into a mass product and they had the resources to apply it to a planet level. That is more than marketing. There are a whole lot of steps between tech demo/proof of concept to product. The most important of which is to actually have the foresight of what the product can be and a plan to get there.

I stopped paying for Dropbox precisely because there was no sensibly-sized plan (150GB working set, was paying for 2TB and an extremely bloated desktop client). Decided to move everything to a combination of OneDrive (which I had been resisting for years) and SyncThing (which is OK but crufty):

> DB ORM operations just work with gevent

My impression was that django+gevent requires some care for the db part. The psycopg2 docs state, for instance

"Psycopg connections are not green thread safe and can’t be used concurrently by different green threads."
[1,2].

In addition, gevent cannot monkey patch psycopg2 code because it is C and not python. This is handled by calling psycopg2.extensions.set_wait_callback() [1,3,4]

I just now realize that you're probably referring to making the ORM itself async capable which is on the roadmap https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AsyncProject in which case I totally agree.

I'm far from a floating point expert, but the fact that the article does everything in terms of epsilons, without mentioning ULPs a single time confuses me.

In fact, that fundamental axiom of FP arithmetic is NOT in terms of some absolute value epsilonMachine. As I understand it, it says that there exists a relative epsilon value (which depends on your input numbers), and that the error of any FP operation on those numbers will be bounded by that epsilon.

What the article doesn't explain, is that floating point numbers and operations are guaranteed to be accurate to the nearest half-ULP, not to the nearest absolute epsilon. And what exactly is the absolute value of an ULP? It depends!

The difference is so fundamental, I'm not sure you can have a useful mental model of floats if you don't start by addressing this.
> They will somewhat know what you're talking about, and have a massive list of bad things your country has done/is still doing, and you won't be happy

Ignoring the "at work" part, you can then both realize that you should acknowledge and fight against any country doing bad things and that these bad things are not excused because other countries (or people) are also doing bad things. Two wrongs don't make a right.

(I'm aware you did not claim that they did.)

Sorry but it's never that simple.

Iran is very different than Norway. Iran was actually a friendly ally to US. Biggest ally in the region. So close that US designed a coup to overthrow Iranian democratically elected leader in favor of the monarchical rule of the Shah.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Iran

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...

Problem started when Iran became a founding member of OPEC. And Shah was controlling (raising) oil prices with his influence at the OPEC.

"NYT: Shah warning US and UK to increase oil price in 70s":
https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/20/archives/shah-warns-oil-p...

Their relationship was damaged to the point that US intentionally didn't support Shah during Iranian revolution and he was overthrown and replaced by Islamic Republic of Iran. There are even conspiracy theories that suggest CIA even did aid the revolution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi#Criticis...

And after that a few more events completely destroyed their relationship.

"Siege of the American embassy in Tehran"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis

"Siege of the Iranian embassy in London"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Embassy_siege

"US supporting Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, and during the Iraq-Iran war"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_attacks_against...

"Iran Air Flight 655"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655

Both sides had many many more since then and the last major one was US withdrawal from JCPOA.

Is Iran a good democratic country now? No!

Do they deserve it? I don't think so.
On one extreme, you don't know if they tend to distrust Western media while trusting Chinese state media. If it is important not to compromise your relationship with them, don't pass off any of the news as your opinion, but report about the Western reporting on the Uighurs, trying also not to signal that you trust these reports or these media outlets.
In a workplace environment, it is completely inappropriate.

Second of all, why? What do you wish to discuss? What would you like to happen? What do these people have to do with it?

If you're in the U.S., do you have anything useful to discuss regarding Guantanamo Bay and the many other U.S. black sites or the Mexican concentration camps run at the border? Do you think those are appropriate conversation pieces to bring up if they don't occur naturally? How would you feel if someone brought them up as if to teach you or make you aware of them as if you didn't know or had any affect whatsoever on their existence?

This product will most likely also sell with a higher price, but for an initial launch I would recommend keeping prices low.

What you want is to learn if your product is something people are willing to pay for. Once that is established, you can tune the pricing to increase the revenue.
Paper, like trees, is carbon neutral in the sense that carbon is absorbed then released. Zero net addition to the atmosphere.

Forests can be used to sequester carbon because of the large number of trees continuously in existence even if individual trees come and go.

For paper, the sequestration angle is more dubious but should also be considered based on the total amount of paper continuously in existence, not on the longevity of a single sheet of paper.

Hi Daniel,

Does this pave the way for a “lite” version of the Dropbox client that _only_ syncs files and has none of the “added value” bloat that has crept in of late?

That was one of the reasons I cancelled my paid plan: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2020/06/21/1600
For fucks sake. And I get downvoted for this? Are we serious?

I've been articulating the problem for months now as have others. Obviously there's no intention from the benevolent dictators of HN to change anything. That's fine. Their house, their rules. But I for one refuse to put myself through the toxicity of a troll-gutter.

How about some generic "how to not buy into a single ecosystem that will maybe screw you one day".

Most important is a personality that prevents you from doing things just like everyone else or this urge to always use the newest tech because it is sexy.

Also important is to be able to feel more pain and to have to work more to achieve a solution that follows this rule and to accept this.

Using Google etc. products is easiest and only people who are strong willed enough and maybe have more skills in IT (pro user instead of average user) can really be free.

Then separate it into personal and work because in the first sector you have an own choice whereas in the second one you will have to comply most of the times.

Also: Storing stuff in proprietary systems which does not provide an export capability (using an open format) is a bad idea - always.

Ask HN: Preferred VSCode-based note taking app?
Recently, a few VSCode-based markdown note taking / knowledge base apps have been released, namely Foam[0], Dendron[1], and Memo[2]. Discussions in the below linked HN thread are useful, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried multiple of these apps and what they ended up settling with & why.

I'm using Foam right now and enjoy it. Not looking to really 'distro-hop' between note taking apps all the time, but curious about others' thoughts.

That depends on the type of the financial calculations you're doing. Certainly accounting and billing shouldn't be done in binary floating point formats. Financial modelling and forecasting calculations aren't exact calculations, and the intermediate library functions for binary floating point may suffer less rounding error than practical alternatives. Also, computational efficiency comes into play once you're at the scale of spending millions of dollars per year on hardware and electricity for financial modelling.

Also, since IEEE-754-2008, there are decimal IEEE-754 floating point numbers, which are useful for some types of financial calculations.
Pro-life/anti-abortion people believe that they are fighting for human rights. Let’s say they start talking to people at work about it. If the conversation stays civilized, no big deal. But they don’t want to limit it to talking. This is about human rights how can you just sit there and do nothing? You’re complicit!

Now people are avoiding that person. Team cohesion suffers. People are calling in sick to avoid the stress of it all. Management is dealing with shit from both sides.

If you want to let people talk politics at work, you can’t just limit it to the politics you agree with.

Exactly. This axiom doesn't hold for denormals which probably don't matter for finance, but really matter for calculations that regress numbers for many iterations.

OT: while obviously all fixed precision floating point must compromise on the representation of real numbers, Posits give you more precision for the same bits, behave far more sanely (eg. doesn't round to zero or Inf), and error bounds are much easier to understand.

If they want me to beta test they should give me money for it.

I like the idea. There's definitely a yearning for ready-for-you ideas in the market.

I could see this becoming viable if it became a newsletter that delivered the problems / ideas to that person's inbox rather than a social network that relied on user-generated submissions. Or, if it became a StartStory/IndieHackers-style interview site that interviewed founders on how they originally landed on the problem for their business. Thee only question is, how do you monetize?

There's Trends by Hustle. You could charge for insider information on industries and that could be gotten if it was an interview style website and continually kept in touch with founders. E.g. patreon style videos that went out to subscribers two weeks earlier for information on an industry.

Either way, this looks great, and I wish you the best of luck in building this out further.

Cheers,
Derick

Just to offer my perspective, and thank you for yours - I don't feel like HN is a hive mind and a single-voiced consensus, nor that I need to check if 'HN has endorsed this project or the idea proposed by this article' as the use case for this extension. Instead, I'm instantly recognising the value in having a quick link to further information and analysis about a given page, if it exists. This is because, to me, HN comment sections can be a wealth of information in their own right, very often.

Just installed the add-on, let's see how useful it becomes. :)

I fully support this. But publishing houses don't. They don't see the benefit.

Also with the a volunteer voting system you could use that to signal to people without a subscription what articles were "good", "controversial", ... to increase chances of a "buy-per-page" for like 10 cents per article.

Or something, I feel like the possibilities are vast, but publishing houses need to collaborate. Which they don't like to.
I don't think this is a great example. LeBron James has once in a generation physical gifts. It is not true that lots of players have the physical talent that LeBron has. With those gifts, he is going to go pro in a major sport and probably be a standout in most situations. I think his success is pretty independent of luck and time.
