From a cryptographic perspective, when dealing with authentication the different methods fall in one of the different categories:

1) Something you know (e.g. a password)

2) Something you have (e.g. a token)

3) Something you are (usually biometric authrentication, like your fingerprint, a retina scan...)

Real OTPs fall in the second category, because you have some device/application that is able to generate the same OTP code as the server handling authentication without communicating with the server. Now there are some popular solutions that are still being called OTPs that instead of something you have is something that is sent to you, like SMS OTP. This isn't just quibbling, because sending something each time authentication is needed, opens up the possibility for some attacks that wouldn't be possible with proper OTPs, e.g. SIM swapping. So to answer you question:

- Just having to click on a link sent via email has the problems outlined in other comments

- having to both enter a password and having a link sent to your email address is safer than just enter a password, but

- having a true OTP, like the TOTP standard, is what provides the best security (in the category of OTPs, I'm not talking about protocols like FIDO2 and similar, because I don't know them).

That is why I said "sanitary authorities" instead of than political authorities. I do not care about what political authorities have to say, but I do care about what credible medical professionals in positions of authority have to say.
We have tried this for a while and the following reasons made us kill it:

1. Email delivery latency: depending on the service you use, the time it takes to deliver emails to the user can vary. Worst case I encountered was up to 20 minutes delay when there were issues with Mailgun.

2. Usability: you have to leave your current app and switch to your mail client. You may be on a device where you don't have a mail client installed at all, so you have to provide a password login option as well.

3. The sign in dialog gets more complicated and it's hard to explain to users how it works as it is not all that common. This also had effects on sign up/sign in dialog design which we found to have a negative impact on conversion rates.

few machines have full bit addressing, all modern GP machines I know of have byte pointers, not bit pointers.

Some IBM systems do number the MSB bits of bytes as bit 0 - to confuse things they are nominally big/mixed endian
Take all the time and energy you will put into this and instead invest in making sure your sign-up and authentication flows work with popular password managers.
Athens is apparently the new cheap artsy place, at least in Europe. Leipzig had its "The Next Berlin?" moment a few years ago.

As a side note, Leipzig is also an extremely livable city with a ton of history. Definitely not a nothing place.

His talks are also delightful. Extremely brilliant people like him often either have quirks or are not the greatest speakers (don't get me wrong – I don't expect a single human to have every skill), but Packard seems to excel at everything: he's obviously a brilliant engineer, he's a wonderful speaker, he seems to be an all-around pleasant and friendly human, he seems to manage a sane and healthy personal and family life. Just a stellar person!

The single fact that he's doing RISC-V work at SiFive boosts my confidence in what they're doing.

They're not trying to get the correct mesh, they just treat everything as part of one big continuous surface.

They do have data. It's pretty easy to see sales without ads vs sales with ads and then do further testing to narrow down results from there. This has been done for over a century since the first billboards were put up.

The amount of data generated by adtech today is staggering. The problem isn't data or advertising, it's the wrong people running the wrong campaigns for the wrong reasons.

Any perceived "societal progress" comes at a (heavy) cost of personal liberties; the Singapore government have always "preferred" the former.

> it's also legit democracy

If your interpretation of a democracy boils down to mere voting rights and choice, then sure, it's legit. But I think we should also consider the trickle-down effects of having the same party in power ever since the government was formed. Your ethics, beliefs, judgment, and mentality determines how you vote - it's not that hard to sway the majority to your side if you are always in total control of how lives are shaped across generations.

And why the focus on governments? Is the same risk not present with private corporations?
> I feel almost ashamed when I think about how little we have to show for it. Maybe it’s normal, maybe it isn’t.

I had the same feeling, and a very similar story, when I failed for the first time. The main problem here is the process (outcome of a 10yo developer mindset in an established company): too much focus on things that don't matter at that stage.

Launching a MVP, and more in general starting a startup, is all about risk mitigation and more importantly simplicity. I saw too much commitment in building and not enough on validating (especially for value that is the first big risk to mitigate).
This feels like a wrapper around an equivalent of the Linux container_of construct (https://radek.io/2012/11/10/magical-container_of-macro/). I have no idea whether there's further prior art in that respect.
He's the guy you're selling to.

He wants a different product with features that aren't in the MVP. He absolutely is not the person I'd be selling to. If it turns out that I can't find customers selling what I think is the right product for the market then I might have to pivot to build what he wants, but until then he's just someone who isn't my potential market right now.

Startup sales is about getting the customer to buy in before the product is exactly right for them. Changing your product to suit whatever the person in front of you wants is massively distracting, often bad for the product, and doesn't guarantee a sale anyway.

If he doesn't think you're worth the money..

The product not being what someone wants only means it's not worth the money for them. That doesn't mean the product isn't worth it for anyone. You need to find the person who wants what you have right now despite it not being perfect, and who is willing to pay for what you have on the basis that it'll become what they need in the future.
So your startup basically buys domains that may seem "good looking" to you, and the site displays an everlasting auction ticker for them? How is this innovative?
Remember that Singapore is a flawed democracy - even though it rates highly on rule of law and government effectiveness, it's somewhat of an outlier in this regard amongst the authoritarian states.

But it's not really surprising that an authoritarian regime would use Covid-19 contact tracing data for other purposes, that was fully expected.

This doesn't help TFA, but building a successful business is usually really difficult (based on what has been seen and written about other successful businesses). Also, many entrepreneurs fail multiple times before succeeding at a business.

Indeed, sometimes luck is against you. COVID was probably not on most people's risk models, so who would know it was a bad time to start most businesses?

And while sunk cost fallacy is a real problem, I suspect that some terminations with that excuse might have been successes if pursued further. But having a family and children is a significant priority conflict with being an entrepreneur, so I certainly don't judge the TFA. But likewise I don't think I would use the sunk cost expression.

For commerce I use an SMS to email gateway and automatically file those emails into a separate mailbox.

It started attracting spam after about a year. I found that I never need to be alerted about anything via SMS though.

The only time I use it is when I know I should have just received a message, which is at the top of the inbox above all this week’s spam.

I’m quite aware that I’m side stepping a lot of two factor policies by doing this. (My phone mail client can read all my email accounts.) One has to be careful not to do anything silly and I’m glad GitHub steered away from SMS 2FAC.

This made the rounds in adtech in 2016 and it's really nothing special. His entire speech comes down to a single quote: "media will be quantified".

Sure, everyone wants that. Precise attribution has been the holy grail for a long time and the struggles are far larger than just a few technology products. The new battleground is first-party data and clean rooms vs privacy regulations. And that's after dealing with all the politics and perverse incentives that happen in such a massive industry.

> And each politician does the same - whether they deliver on the promise is another matter, and they can only promise a certain amount.

Actually the offer is quite different and its not an individual offer as in the case of employment. Democracy is kind of like everyone voting on a menu item and then everyone gets the mode, in the employment model everyone gets their own choice.

> It has a correspondence in the syllogism I was replying to. Sure, you could become self-employed, but in the same way you could also become a politician.

Everyone gets what the apparent majority has chosen, everyone gets to choose their own employment. I'm not sure I see the parallel here.

> Employment seems to be even more of a sham than democracy.

Quite the contrary, in employment quid pro quo is the going rate, in democracy some people consider it correct and another group consider it to be corruption of the system.
If there is anything I've learned on social media, is that when you pitch an idea on Internet you can have hundreds of people swearing they'll buy your product day 1 if it has x, y or z. When the time comes to pull out the credit card however, suddenly everyone is gone.
Considering the whole site is run on donations and has a strong anti-ad policy, I think it's very consequent that they make everything available, without any "pro" tiers.
The mindset and goals are much different. At the extreme, a showstopper bug in an MVP is not a big deal - you have few (if any) customers and a glitch here and there won't make any difference in the long run.

Early stage tech founder should be either a cowboy programmer or a business-minded project manager, the type who ruthlessly kills projects and blows things up on a whim.
You are right, but also you asked for it by being pedantic: "common" should be "come on" :)

This is not correct. You could raise objections through iTunes Connect for many years, and also respond to many rejections directly. I think the first time I did this was 2010.

Maybe you never heard about it, but it was the leading social network before MySpace then Facebook.

It was unable to scale, and as a consequence suffered bad performances and downtime and eventually all the users moved to more recent SN.

MySpace also had similar problems, their main app was an crappy ColdFusion app that they struggled to update to add features or fix bugs.

Facebook on the other hand, was far better technically and it's probably why they won the social network war.
-This isn't just a treat of a flawed democracy (which Singapore undoubtedly is!) - we've been having the same debate in Norway (though not explicitly about Covid-19) for at least a couple of decades - basically, whenever data is collected, some enterprising soul will find another use for the same dataset which was not originally intended, nor consented to by the people supplying the data.

The fronts are quite predictable - one camp suggests that if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear and won't somebody think of the children.

The other suggest that expanding the scope of utilization is both outright wrong and, all other concerns aside, will make it a lot harder to collect (consensual) data in the future.
> and why are there charts following the cleavage line

I always believe that these girls/boys who are dancing semi-naked, at the age of 10-17 need their parents/guardians removed/imprisoned (or worse). It cannot be that (in this example) Britney Spears was clearly being sexualized while underage. This can only cause issues later in life (if not early in life too), and for the example of Britney Spears we read about it in the news.

Yes, 'normal' (not exposed to such degree) also may go off the rails and shave their heads, sue their dads, etc. but we (as a society) need to protect children better from unecessary exposure and hurtful exposure. And social media definitely do NOT help to improve things.

> Also last time I checked (I’d love to be corrected about this) even RAID1 still isn’t ideal (in particular, when a drive fails in a RAID1 array, you only get one chance to mount it r/w and rebalance your data - after that, the array is read-only, and you need to recover by creating a new array on new disks and copy all the data across)

I think you're referring to this (https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg63370.html) bug, which was fixed in kernel >= 4.20 and >= 5.0 (according to https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAJCQCtTRseEwoN4cbsAaE_Y...)

That being said, the bug only causes the filesystem to become permanently degraded if the number of devices fall below the required number of devices needed for the raid type, and IIRC was caused by btrfs being unable to write metadata correctly. If you had a 3 drive raid1 pool, and one of the drives failed, it would happily continue working in degraded state.

It's of much help to me.

It is clearly not what I’d consider start-up - I went into it knowing I’ll likely not recover my underlying costs. Also, I’ve not claimed for it to be innovative in any way.

It was simply me playing around with something new, and instead of throwing it in the bin, putting it live on a domain.

I’m not a fan of the typical domain auctions where it’s a bidding war, I quite like the idea that hopefully some people might get a decent priced domain with this type of selling, and it may give them some kind of inspiration.

If it wasn't convenient for many players (from western to asian neighbors) to have a neutral tax-haven state in the area, it would have ended up like any small Asian/African/Latin American state.
