Could you set a minimum amount of time since last login / visit before recovery was possible? If you are visiting the site every day, and your three "friends" decide to collude to reset your password, the site should refuse to issue the tokens since you are still able to access it.

This gets a little more tricky if you have an unexpired session but want to be able to change your password (which likely requires knowing the existing password), but a request from this logged in session to reset your password should be trustable (unless your "friends" have also stolen your unlocked device).

Similarly, if one or more of your "friends" requests a token / password reset of your acccount, the site should highlight that in a banner on every page you visit, to potentially give you warning to find better friends. (The process for replacing a friend on the site should probably require re-entering your password too, to stop someone that's hijacked your session from picking three sock puppet accounts as your new friends, and resetting your password that way).
I don't think that's true of "winner take all/most" businesses anymore. Who cares about saving 15% on labor in a business where the difference between the highest quality employees and just "good" employees is literally billions in valuation? There's a reason that so many of these giant incredibly profitable business are in places with punitive tax laws and some of the most expensive labor on the planet.

No, controls would be trivial to evade.

Let’s say I have a billion dollars worth of Tesla stock that I’ve owned for a decade, giving me twice as much votes as normal. You want to increase your voting power, and are willing to pay $1.5B for my shares to do so.

We sign a loan agreement. You loan me $1.5B at a high interest rate, secured by my shares and my agreement to vote them as per your instructions. If you demand repayment I can pay off the loan in full simply by surrendering my shares to you, and all interest is forgiven. If I want to repay the loan, I have to pay the full balance, all interest and a prepayment penalty in cash, no stock accepted.

You don’t want me to repay the loan so the shares can retain their ownership premium, and so I can’t without paying a massive penalty + interest. You can never require me to repay the $1.5B, I can simply surrender the shares, so I can spend it immediately any way I want.

So we can keep this “loan“ going for decades more, or until you want to sell these shares. Presumably you will sign a similar “loan” agreement with your buyer to maintain the voting power the share accumulated.
Well in theory you'd pay the max of two states that you legitimately owe taxes to. But if one state that you should not owe taxes to decides to assess you, the other state (CO in my example) would not just roll over and give up their revenue.

So instead you get handed two separate tax bills (and post 2018, you can't deduct more than $10k in SALT, making this hurt even more).
I don't find much filler among the areas of interest that I specifically follow on YouTube (some of that of course being due to my own selection of who to subscribe to), but I do find that filler on YouTube when I'm searching for some other instructional information on Google.
I can appreciate and agree with the point the author is making. Mindless fluff like social media and just watching too much TV can really add up and do harm. But I do want to defend YouTube a little bit.

Anyone being able to upload anything at all is so wonderful. I have found lots of interesting and quirky channels that are a breath of fresh air compared to the stuff mainstream media gives us. Some YouTube channels give me as much joy as the hour of tennis the author mentions. Just don't go overboard on it.

> I'd also have to throw Zuck a bone if FB joined.

As a user, it’s appalling to see developers taking the side of user-hostile companies in order to take down a company trying to protect users.

It makes me want to avoid any products from such companies and developers.
A bit of disambiguation to make clear I wasn’t talking about Polaroids.
Downsides:
Humidity

Staleness after a few hours

Face ID is now useless

Fogs up glasses

Having to speak louder

Having to repeat things for people who cant read lips

Increased difficulty reading facial cues

Having a harder time remembering people you met while they were wearing a mask(not people you already knew last year)

Imprint + tan lines on your face

There's no substitute for taking a deep breath of fresh air outside.

These are all downsides Ive experienced and Ive tried a variety of masks including fitted premium ones(under armor sportsmask w/face measurements taken, Tommie Copper, etc). I follow the law, I wear a mask every day to prevent spreading this thing, but dont try to make this a permanent thing and dont say "just wear a mask it's nothing"

I use 10minutemail.com for this.

Sadly though, it appears all these temporary mail domains are in some central list, that data harvesters use to deny access. It's almost impossible to sign up for forum accounts with these. So it's impossible to download files from vinylengine.com unless you allow them to spam you.

…that doesn’t handle some edge cases (NaNs, infinities, denormalized numbers), or doesn’t round trip what to_chars produces for some values.

For some people, using a computer is meant to be a pleasurable experience, and Vim / Emacs might let them build this up in ways that personally align with their tastes. I've spent years in Visual Studio (not Code -- the older one, but also a year or so in Code), and IntelliJ, and Vim, and Emacs with Spacemacs. They all felt good for when I used them. Like which genre of music I happen to be into at the time.

At the end of the day, it's kind of just shifting around based on what feels good. It feels similar to sitting in a cafe for a bit, but some times working from home, and some times in the mountains.

But there's no need to put people down by saying stuff like "poor man's" IMO. And if you're restricted to what makes C# and Java tolerable, that's a small space. There's a lot more stuff out there.

And programming is not as simple as "make decisions that optimize your engineering throughput" IMO. Otherwise gardening would be agriculture, right? Both are important in their own ways.

In any case Vim's terminal emulation and asyncness these days along with coc.nvim brings it back on track IMO. There was a period where it was behind.

I do think it depends a ton on language. The best experience in Vim is editing Go, I think. And then TS and C++ have been a close second. Lisps are not great, Emacs tends to better. For Java and C# it's definitely IDEs. VSCode is also fine for a lot of langs, in a more out of the box way. Cursive is also good I hear for Clojures. If you need to move between a lot of langs, the only IDEs that pan out are IntelliJ mostly, unless you count Code as one. But Vim and Emacs have the best multiwindow and multi buffer management. And the best git integration for patch by patch staging, for sure.

And ofc for ObjC and Swift it tends to be Xcode. If you're really into Freepascal then Lazarus etc. Smalltalks are their own thing ... it keeps going on.
Radio Shack could have done this.
I believe the 10 minute thing is because YouTube at some point let you include mid-roll ads if your video was longer than 10 minutes.
> And that is why we run it. But we still monitor.

The difference for me is that Let's Encrypt has required this kind of manual intervention more often than the previous status quo. Previously, I would put an item on my calendar to renew the free StartSSL cert, would do it on schedule, and things would generally go off without a hitch.

For me, the automatic renewer has fallen apart multiple times (for several reasons, including failing to reload nginx after renewing the cert), more than once a year on average, and worse still, they don't fail on any kind of regular schedule. I'm not a pro, just someone who wants a cert for my personal site, so I don't have any complicated monitoring system set up. This means I have to regularly remember to check up on certbot and see if it renewed the cert this time.

>"It needs to be routed: the router, based on L3 information, decides where it needs to go ,in L3 speak – it will decide which host to send it to, but not how. This corresponds to the routing table (or FIB)."

This is not correct. The FIB(forwarding information base) is concerned with layer 2. The RIB(routing information base) determines the next hop. The RIB is what is used to populate entries in the FIB with the correct outgoing interface. These two terms are basic router terms. It was kind of surprising to see this statement in a post titled "How Do Routers Work, Really?"

Point to the power granted to the government which allows it to force you to wear a mask, or the supreme court case which might be relevant.

The first amendment guarantees congress may make no law that limits freedom of expression. How you dress is interpreted as expression, and communicable disease has never been used to justify broad mandates about what you wear in public. Carveouts made for obscenity don't fit, you could never find a cultural context to defend not wearing a mask as obscene. Carveouts for public health risk i.e. quarantine don't fit because the people being affected have no chance to defend themselves in court when subjected, you cannot get judicial review for the entire country.

Mask mandates enforceable by law outside the regulation of commerce certainly require constitutional amendment, and that will never happen.

Covid is not worse than public health threats in the past. We have been living in relative safety when it comes to disease for several decades, and I believe that has just ended. You will have to find the political will for people to fundamentally and permanently alter the national and global norms of life in order to try to maintain the old status quo, and I just don't see it happening, and I don't see any court holding up mandates.
Yea, but you've lost access to a card game score, so nobody really cares.
Bitmap mode is made up of 8x8 tiles. The screen is 32x24 tiles, or 256x192 pixels. 2 colors per line per tile. So a single tile can contain up to 16 colors.

A single screen is divided into 3 separate tile maps, each 256 bytes long.

It also supports 32 spirtes but only 4 sprites per scanline, which is its biggest limitation.

The Sega Master System used an upgraded version of the 9918, adding 64 colors, smooth scrolling, and 8 sprites per scanline, all within the same 16 kB of VRAM.
It was designed to support multiple DBs. Adding a new adapter should be pretty easy. I will add the first for Datomic in the coming weeks. This should pave the way for the next ones (I will add some docs on this). I really believe on it supporting many DBs.
Tangent: when we bought our Apple II in 1980, the salesperson explained that the "Sup'R'Mod" extra video box we also needed to connect to a TV was sold separately, manufactured by a different company, so that neither needed FCC certification.

I don't know whether this story is true, but it's what we were told.
This is fine, but besides the point.

30% is outrageous and basically no developers want to pay it.

Were it 10%, all those things you mention would remain the same.
Probably worth adjusting the title -- air quality is not just a measure of pollution. In this case, both SF and Portland are filled (unfortunately) with wildfire smoke, rather than a man-made pollutant...
I don't understand why would I use this? It just feels that I register to something that might randomly pop-up meetings/calls with people I know? I personally don't like unexpected calls in general or calling someone without having anything to tell. It feels that if I register I would just make my life harder with no benefit in return (I can already talk with whoever I want and contact them if I feel like it).
> iOS is basically universally reviled by developers.

No. No, it is not.

I am a developer, and I support iOS and Apple’s practices.

I know this comment will be buried; It’s ironic how the people supposedly championing freedom tries to bury any dissenting voices.

> In many cases, Apple is making considerable more profit off of apps than developers themselves.

Apple pays out more revenue to developers than the Play Store.
Sometimes they don’t notice that the postage is wrong, or even missing entirely. I’ve heard stories of people drawing “stamps” on letters to see if it would pass, and I know I’ve successfully mailed a letter without putting a stamp on it at all (by accident, and was surprised that it was delivered).

No magic at play here. The equations are open for all to explore. We are not breaking the laws of physics. Just flexing them with clever engineering.. just like innovators that came before us. For example, the radiating near field of a 2.4GHz antenna about 8 meters long would extend about 1km.

Surely you do not expect Emrod to discuss in detail the subject matter of its patent applications?
The screen adaptation (The 13th Warrior) is one of the better Crichton adaptations. Banderas has top billing but he’s not the star, per se.
I think one of us is misunderstanding something. If CA and CO both claim you owe them money, you pay the value to CO, and then you only owe the difference to CA, so the most state tax you pay is 13%. CO gets 4% and CA gets 13-4%=9%. I've filed my taxes split between CA and another state before and that's what you do.

If CA comes after you for not filing taxes, you may owe fines, but you can still deduct other state tax when filing CA state taxes. SALT isn't relevant.

Like to give an example, if I found a startup in SV, and run it their for 5 years, move to Denver and go public and cash in my options as a CO resident, I'd argue that most of that money was earned while in CA. California enforcing that doesn't seem unfair as long as they treat it the same as any other income (allow you to deduct other state tax)

If you feel it's a liability, it is up to you to protect yourself. Use VPNs, disposable VMs, multiple email accounts, private browsing, and whatever else you think is necessary to preserve your privacy. "Tracking" is baked in to the web. The cat is out of the bag.

No advertising isn't a viable option in this world. I'd go as far as to say that the Internet, as we know it today, would not exist without targeted ads.
But you are not sharing your email with fb. The user already shared it with fb. I am only telling fb, if you have this user with this email, show him an ad. I really don't see the problem. Much better a targeted ad than ads about porn, casinos, viagra or poker.

What about something taking inspiration from the "roguelike" fad? Some of those intend for runs to take < 1 hour and yet still have interesting choices and variation due to randomization. Seems like a plausible fit for a civ-quick. There you often have some randomized choice of features to exploit and don't get access to all of them every run, thereby streamlining the game process.
It's good to see the SEC doing its job. It's not enough but it's progress. Ultimately, we need to bring back accountability by abolishing corporate personhood.

If corporations were treated the same as people, most of them would be incarcerated for life or on death row by now. The current approach of fining them gives them unlimited chances to illegally exploit the system.

If I profited from doing something illegal, I would be jailed as an accomplice. If a corporation does it, the executives can simply claim that they didn't know. This is fundamentally unfair.

The result is that nobody is responsible for any of the millions of bad things which happen in the world. Those who implement or are aware of the wrongdoings (the employees) don't have the power to change anything. This lack of responsibility is especially dangerous in our technology-driven age.

CBP having access to this is bad for it's own reasons, but what is equally bad is a private company tracking movement of individuals without their informed consent.
This is one of those cases where both sides have some insight depending on viewpoint. The OSI model is like every other model. It isn't reality (at least in TCP/IP) but instead is a helpful abstraction esp. around troubleshooting and understanding networking concepts. There comes a point where the model breaks down but that doesn't mean it's an unhelpful model just that it isn't a complete picture. I try and work networking problems through the OSI layer model but am aware when things don't really fit well into it (MPLS, MSS, ARP, Layer 5-7).
No idea where you "looked it up", becuase that's hardly a valid definition. Modern taxonomy is rather complicated and is not particularly concerned with kingdoms (like Animalia), which are used more because they are handy to use, not because there is a real strict boundary between what is an animal and what isn't. So they have rather loose definitions.

Your statement lacks definition of what exactly is a "stomach", and I don't think you can provide such a definition for it to classify animals correctly. Sponges (which are animals), for instance, don't really have a "stomach", there is no cellular differentiation based on that function. Many carnivorous plants (which are not animals based on that they are plants, a different kingdom), on the other hand, do consume other living creatures and have something that can be considered "a stomach".
It's really a can't eat the cake and have it too problem. We want hackability but we also want convenience and feeling save (Trust).
On Linux dists this trust is put in the opensource developers and distro maintainers. When you need to build something yourself the source is open for you to see. Developers and maintainers take pride in their work. On the mobile platform it seems from my point of view like more development is fueled by profit. If you combine profit seeking with sideloading proprietary applications i believe the end result would cause iPhone sales to drop as their USP no longer holds true (conveniece for the everyday user not having to deal with security, trust, payment processors).

I am using Android as I've been for the last couple of years for this hackability, but i rely more on F-Droid than Play Store.

I understand both Apples and Epics point of view, standard consumer would probably be hurt by Epic getting their way while HN crowd would benefit (possibly short term only) from Epic getting their way.

One thing to keep in mind is that there's a reason why Apple is doing this, and it rhymes well with what every single person i know says about the iPhone. It's simple, it just works, you know how to use it, It's convenient. All these things sound like things one can only achieve in a walled garden.

Apple does what's best for their shareholders, and what's best for their shareholders is if people stay happy with their iPhones and keep purchasing them. I'll stick to Android and all the associated spyware until there's a proper opensource alternative for day2day use and some decent music streaming service available.
One thing I will say is that I feel YouTube doesn't do this to nearly as large of degree as TikTok. YouTube might suggest me videos that are outside my cluster of interests occasionally, but normally only those with a reasonably high view count. They will recommend low view count videos that are within my interests however.

TikTok on the other hand will sometimes show me a video with almost no views, that is completely random, and I actually do like it. I feel like YouTube has gotten slightly stale in that it tries so hard to show me either viral videos or videos it deems to be of my interests, that the content becomes repetitive. In recent months it's become better at it, but still plays it safe with recommendations.
