This is a great question! I hoped this would get brought up, as it is very important. I decided against covering in this blog as I felt it was already fairly long, but the tldr is that I see two incremental ways with this setup to add authorization:

1. Cognito has something called "Adaptive Authentication" that will compute risk scores for each login based on IP, device info, etc. You can customize in the AWS console how risk-tolerant you want to be.

2. You can go the fully-managed approach, which is what we are implementing at Transcend now. The idea is that you'd use an MDM like Fleetsmith to install a TLS cert onto each managed device, and then validate that cert on each request in the auth portal. There are lots of cool ways (we use the Vanta agent) to verify that a users' device is "good" to authenticate with.

I'd like to write more about option 2, but I try to keep this blog posts as technology agnostic as I can, and my experience is fairly limited right now to Vanta + Fleetsmith
I use decentraleyes and it tells me it replaced network version with local versions 395 times since installation (probably a year ago). That's not very muhc.

It doesn't get hits like it should. It would be nice to be able to add libraries to the cache manually because many are out of date.
I mean the $15k moving incentive applies only if you move to one of those 5 zip codes. It's near the bottom of www.movetomichigan.org.

I think I may have passed by a dog run sign, come to think of it. Whenever we've visited we didn't have our dogs with us, though. If we moved we would try to hunt them down though.

We live in the suburbs, not downtown, so we're not super urban. It would still be a bit of a culture shock to live there I think, as SW Michigan is significantly more rural than where we are at, but we mainly went for the nature.
Actually this reminds me of something kind of related. I booked a ticket to Dubai, going through Abu Dhabi. Or so I thought. I was super surprised, once I landed in Abu Dhabi that the connection was on bus. And almost missed the bus, because of a bathroom break I took once I landed. Then had to rush across the airport, to figure out where the buses where that connect. I think it was 2 hour bus ride. But the original ticket was booked online for an airplane.
To me, a vigorously undetailed 'several knives and other weapons' actually means 'the kitchen cutlery and home improvement tools most people who own a home accumulate over time'.

I've got a hammer, a hacksaw, and a few utility knives and that's just for work on a 550 square foot condo and a car, and that's before getting into any of the kitchen stuff.
Reforming the electoral college is not new at all, or partisan, but that's not to say that it's not political. Here are some links regarding historical[0] and present[1] efforts to reform the apportionment of elector votes:

Good question. I should have specified that I was saying that in the context of conventional crops. From what I've read, they don't pollinate many conventional crops but they are drawn to fruit trees. Otherwise mostly native plants which humans don't cultivate for food.

In some places I know similar species are actually grown for commercial pollination, so it'll vary from place to place for sure.
> Also looking at the raw temperatures, we can see the eastern Arctic ocean is actually in positive surface temperatures, which means a low to zero chance of freezing over at this point. In normal conditions, almost the entire Arctic ocean should be at or below the freezing point – 0°C (black color) by the end of October.

Anecdotal, but in my experience living in London, CCTV does fuck all. I've been robbed / stolen from multiple times in London, all caught on CCTV, never once helpful in apprehending any criminals or getting my possessions back to me.

And clearly not a great deterrent, as I've been the victim of more crimes in London than anywhere else.
I’m guessing the younger worker, 20 to 35, or the older worker near retirement who was thinking of Michigan anyway.

For the younger worker, it’s smart marketing. “Say, are you sick of staying on a treadmill, watching your dream of owning a home in a decent neighborhood slip away? Effectively losing money every year as the real estate market skyrockets out of sight, unwilling to bet on the “greater fool” dynamic of overheated markets to be house-poor for the majority of your adult life? That place/State where you’re working hates you, and they show it by making everything worthwhile too expensive and too time-consuming.

But we in Michigan love you and will care for you and we prove it in the most American way possible by giving you $15K upfront. In some of our towns, that’s almost a down payment on a house, a nice house in a safe neighborhood that would cost twice/three times/four times/...as compared to that overhyped overpriced tech slum you’re “living” in now. In a market much less likely to collapse than where you’re struggling to get a down payment.

And with people who are friendly and think you and your income are really quite amazing and will bend over backwards to help you out. They will be genuinely happy to have you as a new resident of your new town. Won’t that feel wonderful, as you settle into that town that fits you like a warm glove on a cold winter night.”

And there are many towns like that in every State of the Union. But Michigan offers $15K in good faith to get you started. Michigan wants you. You are special to Michigan. That’s a powerful message...

And the older worker will have much of their retirement funds spent wherever they choose to retire to. Why not spend them in a place that expresses its appreciation upfront in the form of a love letter written in gold?
It would be nice if everyone had control of their own personal health record but so far no one has really figured out a viable business model. Microsoft and Google tried and failed. Now Apple and Ciitizen are trying again, with Apple using it as a value-added feature to sell more iPhones and Ciitizen selling data to researchers. Hopefully someone will succeed. But in general most consumers just don't care; the only segments that actively engage are educated, affluent people with chronic medical conditions and the "worried well".

And you do already have the freedom to seek second opinions. No one is going to stop you, although time and cost prevent obstacles.

If you actually want to live a long time then preventing chronic diseases is far more effective than early detection and treatment. For most people, prevention doesn't require any medical intervention at all.
I'd have to disagree. Only partly though. You mentioned a well established phenomenon, brain drain and it's true that the Indian talent gravitates towards the Silicon Valley or for the most part at least tries to but this is the point of the article as well, this phenomenon is slowing down a bit, not as much Indians gravitate with their startups to the US as they did say, a decade ago.

This shows progress and this is what the whole point is, progress.

With the extreme H1B conditions at the moment, it's unlikely people will take extra steps to just get to the US when they can try setting it up in India.

Sure, we all want the right to repair, but don't we realize that easily repairable devices could add as much as 1 to 2 mm of thickness to our phones? Sure, my Galaxy Note 2 had a replaceable battery and a shattered screen the local repair shop could fix for $50, but I paid for that with more than 0.5mm in additional device thickness than my current phone.

You can check on 4plebs. I don't read 4chan, but the same is true of 8chan and far-right Telegram - extremist doomers tend to be good early warning system for incidents that seem to bear out their apocalyptic worldview.
Sheesh, you’re painting “the Midwest” with a HUGE brush that’s not fair and not even accurate in many cases for a region of the country as large and disparate as this one-aren’t you?
You run a service behind the HTTP proxy, or another proxy with a more suitable protocol like SSH, which can speak the required protocols (or just blindly forward TCP) across production. You run a CLI tool that binds a local port and forwards to this service.

In some ways this is a poor man's VPN server, but it can be smarter: with protocol support, you can combine the identity of the connected developer with application-level data (e.g. this is an INSERT statement) to make AuthZ decisions.

I think the second most secure way to handle service authentication is to protect your ports with strong auth, like this article talks about.

But the most secure way to handle this is to just eliminate the open port entirely.

Here's another post of mine where I talk about making a bastion host with no open ports and no ingress on its security group: https://codelabs.transcend.io/codelabs/aws-ssh-ssm-rds/index...

I agree, and as the audience for this article, Americans are not miles off having that outdoor appreciation sorted. Underdone for holidays and accessing through private land sure, but they get a lot else right and (as an Australian) I'm quite envious of how broad the outdoor appreciation is across all age categories, especially at college age.

The national parks are epic. State parks and national forests have great access opportunities given the NPs are often busy. In the west especially, there is a lot of BLM land to use and get away from everyone. There are RVers, families and college kids camping.

In Australia we have grey nomads, 4WD convoys, families camping and travel couples touring around, but no real equivalent to the college kids camping in Yosemite or similar.

The US has enough national forests and BLM land (at least in the west) that I don't think the right of way is especially missed?
Hmm... only give it when it suits you? Or if you are desperate to have a job, I guess. Otherwise it's relatively easy to evade and deflect these things.

I've been in a late-stage startup where options and RSUs were given very haphazardly (and in fact almost every grant I had was on a different vesting plan for whatever reason, too), so when a BigCo HR person pressed me for my compensation history and I tried to explain the whole thing, after a few clarifying questions and answers their head exploded and I was given a larger than expected sign-up grant, probably based on one year where the confluence of schedules made for the largest total comp :)

OTOH when I joined that late stage startup in the first place, I was in another bigco with a relatively low salary so IIRC I evaded questions and pushed them to use the market rate; although that was a long time ago.

True but not sure if you considered Power Purchasing Parity of Indians. India is able to manufacture most of the stuff for itself at the moment and hence everything is cheap in India. From basic things like soda cans that cost 10x less in India than the US to the same online services that also cost 10x less.

The GDP per capita might be less in terms of the US standards but the Power Purchasing Parity makes up for it plus we can't forget that the nominal GDP is still in Top 3/Top 5 in the world ( depends on what source you look at ).
Is the way "Apple is organized for innovation" the reason why XCode is so prone to crashing? Is it why so many of Apple's new APIs are lacking documentation? Is it the reason the iOS Simulator doesn't reliably export the accessibility tree needed to run XCUI tests without flaking half the time?

What about the fact that they haven't announced a single new product category since the Apple Watch in 2014?

To my mind, it certainly seems as if Apple is actually organized to simply refine the innovations of its past, much like the conventionally grown tomatoes that we've all grown accustomed to. Apple is now just another amplified thing, very much in the mold of our post-WWII mindset.
I held off for the new Quest 2 just to have this happen. Absolutely will not be buying anything Oculus now. Tech minded people may be in the minority but I hope our dollars speak loud enough.

Exploring the Gestalt Principles of Design
Something happened in the last 5 years or so. I am an old school leftist, by no means a Stalinist or so, but very much in favor of the former colonies rights, against imperialism, unilateral use of force, excessive power of multinationals, militarism, that sort of stuff. Let's say I am a crazy commie in the mold of Chomsky or Howard Zinn. Well, in the last 5 years, that left "poooft", evaporated, disappeared totally and now the only "opposition"to the usual suspects is a motley group formed by ex-tumblerinas, social media companies C-executives and their employees, mainstream democrats and celebrities,twitter comedians, and the problems are not more: "Why Grenada was invaded", "What is the future of Gaza" or even "Why are unions disappearing in America?", not more "Iran-Contra" or "Somalia intevention" Now the problems are "Is JK Rowling a TERF" "Should Colin Kapernick(sp) have an extra year of contract" "Is AOC college degree more prestigious than Trump's" When the top-20 Fortune companies are on your side I think it is time to reassess your priorities as a leftist movement, but no, that is not happening.
I think non-CCTV plastered European cities is probably a more apt comparison than Chicago and San Francisco, two cities that have a reputation for being unsafe in the US (which has major problems with violent crime across the board).

At Transcend, we use a bastion host (like others have mentioned). The key difference that we do that I don't think has been covered is that our bastion only makes outgoing connections, and has no open ports to the world.

Using the AWS SSM managed service, we can create bastions that have no ingress at all.

I talk through some different approaches in a codelab over here: https://codelabs.transcend.io/codelabs/aws-ssh-ssm-rds/index...

Every platform needs rules, as there are always abusers. 4chan had an issue With cp. Facebook censors delete cp, suicide videos, torture etc. You can’t have a “censorship free” platform. There must be rules, but should those rules be decided by tech guys or politicians?

I suggest quitting social media. Because truth is buried in a sea of lies.

Social media promotes what is popular (shocking) not what is truth.

Millions of bots spread shocking fake news like Qanon, covid conspiracies.

This is damaging your country.
Several terrorist attacks happened in your country, inspired by propaganda on social media.

The amendment was written for humans. Sure free speech, but should free speech apply to millions of robots spreading fake news?

It’s not like tech companies don’t know bots are spreading propaganda, they just ignore it because it’s “not a priority”.

While platform rapidly censor nudity, they seem to ignore anti American botnet propaganda. Stories like “covid created by NATO”, “bill gates made nano bots vaccine” etc.

Should social media be a platform for hatred? Lies? Terrorists?

Today it is.

The AI terrorism of social media will only get worse. And your tech companies seem to ignore it.
Australia has the PCEHR (Personally Controllable E-Health Record), which all health providers are (slowly) being required to upload their results. This includes flags to see who has accessed your records and at what location.

From what I can see, there isn't a huge uptake in patients actively reviewing their data. On the other side of the coin, not everything within scope is being uploaded yet so we can't see if this is the start of a patient-driven revolution.

So 4 years ago they "weren't constitutionally compelled to give advice", whereas now they're following the Constitution's "clear direction on the structure of government"? Same situation, different outcomes, and funny how both satisfy the demands of the Constitution. I guess it must be one of those documents where you can do whatever you want and say it's what the Constitution says.

In the rural Northeast U.S. where I live you are allowed to walk on and explore private land that you don't own unless it's "posted". To post your land you must display an official sign (available in hardware stores) every 120 meters and at every corner of your land. You also need to date every sign every year and register your land as posted with your town or city. Posted land may still be accessed with the permission of the land owner. We enjoy skiing and bird watching often on our neighbors lands in this way.
Your phone's memory effectively is fully accessible with just a USB cable. I am unaware of any android phone which actually verifies the signature on its bootloader - run `adb fastboot flash` and you can load arbitrary ROMs onto arbitrary chips. The contents of the ROMs is what's secret.
