2FA can actually prevent phishing, though it requires close integration with the app and the authenticator. It's actually quite similar to CSRF prevention. On the site itself, display a random nonce to the user for confirmation then send an request for authentication to the authenticator with said nonce which the user can confirm. The battle.net authenticator does this.

For added protection, you can prompt the user to select which nonce is correct to force them to verify it is correct. The Microsoft authenticator does this sometimes.

The downside of this approach is that it requires a constant connection between the second factor the service. It also relies on the fact that the service authenticates itself via TLS or some other means, though that is a relatively minor issue.
How to Get Data in a DataFrame via .NET for Apache Spark
Yes and for this reason I now only sell on Craigslist even just for nominal amounts. The point of separating from stuff is for it to be more useful to other people, it's not great if it's just going to sit in a hoarder's house instead of my storage.

From my point of view, cool projects, all the hardware I have access to is closed source and sometimes I really wish I could just change some low level parameters in my Wi-Fi cards.
I am not saying that new features don't need menus but maybe they could be simplified? The copy, paste select system on iOS is poor IMO. The new tab/ new private tab has been done better on chrome.
What I wished to say in the original comment was that if new ideas aren't given a chance we might never see something different, might be radically different and we might just like some things about it.

I live in an early 1800s farmhouse which has had a lot of work done on it over the years--to code--and has had new top-of-the-line windows put in as well. But if the whole house suddenly had to be fully compliant with modern code? You'd probably just need to tear it down and start from scratch. I'm sure that's true on tons of houses, especially in older areas of the country.

We meet that threshold, though. We are extremely adaptive to otherwise hostile environments by virtue of technology, particularly wearable one - from winter jackets to SCUBA gear.

Sadly all that experiment would achieve is under excersised dogs.

Thanks awfully for helping me with my research!
I suspect by "develop" the parent comment did not refer to the construction of power plants but to the improvement of the technology. Like in "Research & Development".
> no bias.

Is that a joke? Have you ever been in academia? Bias is everywhere. Bias towards certain hypotheses, political outlooks, methods, etc. The more senior someone is in a field, the more biased they tend to be! I've seen the founder of a field vote to reject a paper because it was "already known" because he skimmed the paper and misread it. There are entire fields of Alzheimer's research that are suppressed because they don't work with the Field's Favorite Aggregating Protein. I've witnessed people add spin to the conclusion section of a paper so that it looks less politically incorrect, and I've also witnessed that this step is both necessary and effective for getting a "dicey" paper published. Get out of here if you're going to assert that scientists are these objective Vulcan types that are "above the fray". They are some of the most "biased" and opinionated people in existence!!

No disagreement about cars. Bikes and bike infra are cheaper, healthier and less deadly in all senses of the term. Electric bikes are great too. So are three wheelers.

But that is whataboutery: bitcoin is still extremely bad.
That's not true at all. The decision makers in Ethereum care overwhelmingly about maximizing the value of their massive premine holdings. The latest EIP-1559 proposal (tl;dr ETH gets burned in every transaction) makes their stash an even larger percentage of the overall ETH distribution. Which is even more egregious when you learn that proof-of-stake rewards those with the most money (read: the decision makers).
I’m not a fan of this. To me, there’s very little point to life besides buying things. It passes the time and sometimes makes me happy-ish.

I mean why else do I work and make money? Ultimately my answer is to spend it on things. I hate traveling so the idea of buying “experiences” has never appealed to me.

Environmental benefits don’t matter to me either. I have never driven a car, don’t fly, eat a plant-based diet, live in a tiny apartment, and will never have kids. My impact is low enough as it is.
A lock needs not be unbreakable. It only needs to be more expensive to break than the value of the things it protects.

So captchas should only be hard enough to make complicated setups involving ML models or pipelines to Mechanical Turk not worth it. Pervasive surveillance is an overkill for this particular purpose.
You must have me confused with the other Mr. Golyadkin.
That's really an irrelevant piece of nitpicking, especially given the context being that someone was fired for calling neo-Nazis, Nazis.
Here’s a 230W example: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Adapter-GTX1070-RTX2070-RTX20...

To me, that looks like yet another "entrepreneur" actually making his / her money by selling a paid membership club. I first saw that technique with the Tropical MBA and Dynamite Circle crowds, and this uses very similar language on their sign up page.

"Mastermind Member (€75/m)"
"Weekly check-in to hold you accountable for your business goals"

For paid forums or paid Slack like this, I always wonder how it benefits more experienced entrepreneurs to join. The 100€ monthly fee kind of suggests that the value I receive from being in that community is going to be larger than the value I add by mentoring others and giving advice.

But in the past, my experience was more that I'd get pitched a lot by online marketer types and people offering services for startups. Plus these groups tend to attract "idea predators" who check out what works for the bigger companies and then try to launch their own clone.

For these reasons, I believe this kind of paid networking groups always end up being almost exclusively filled with amateur marketers.

Please explain to me why I'm wrong. I'd really love to find a good networking group after so many false starts...
Governments could pass laws tomorrow requiring all crypto mining use 100% renewable energy by a certain date, just as like they are doing with cars. They could also pass minimum efficiency standards for mining, just as they do for heating appliances. I for one would welcome both moves. Even though your points were meant as counterexamples, what they really illuminate is that the crypto mining industry needs proper regulation, just like cars and heaters.
Can you share an example of where you've seen neo-Nazis recently (like legitimate, swastika-branded Nazis)?
Yeah, I'm not saying we are peak intelligence, but it took us almost 4 billion years to reach the point where we even can ask the question "Are we alone?". Much of the early universe had conditions that were not as stable and favourable as the last 4 billion years.

I also think distance and time is preventing us from detecting any other like us, but I'm pretty sure some exists somewhere out there. It's just that the reality of physics (even with more knowledge) prevents easy travel and contacts.

Another thing is that we have barely looked at the sky. The SETI project is very underfunded and most other projects have just recently started looking for planets and signatures that can indicate life (not intelligent life). Many think we have surveyed all of space in as much detail as our current technology allowed but we are _far_ from that.
On mobile, I don't get a full screen modal. Just a small banner at the bottom that can be closed. This doesn't sound like something that would be A/B tested, since that requires some sort of audience to segment by (typically user id).
As I understand, the two main sources of the era were Suetonius and Tacitus, and between them Suetonius were more of the gossipy type in comparison. Thus, the comparison with Wolf seems quite well founded.

I'm really thrilled to see renewed interest in space, and I hope that we will end up with moon bases and Mars colonies in the near future... Now, the challenge is not to end up with corporate hegemony.

Reminds me of that infamous Fight Club quote:

That aside, does Virgin Orbit have anything to do with Virgin Galactic? I vaguely remember Chamath talking about Virgin Galactic's commercial market opportunities when shilling his SPAC, but nothing directly about Virgin Orbit.

The energy "waste" argument against Bitcoin is really one of the silliest there is. One man's waste is another's treasure.

"Unlike other economic activities, the bitcoin scheme produces absolutely nothing for all this waste."

Does playing video games "produce absolutely nothing?" Some would say so, others would say not, that it produces positive emotions in players. But the entire ecosystem of gaming no doubt "wastes" more energy than bitcoin mining. Who gets to decide, to decree, what constitutes "waste?" That it's ok to engage in certain activities, like gaming, which some people would classify as "waste," but not ok to engage in others.

And the climate change argument as the cherry on top. Time to power down everything then. No more bitcoin mining, no more cars, no more travel, watching movies, it's all "wasteful." Shut it all down.
RuneScape has been on this for a while!
That is only really accurate if the electricity used would somehow disappear were it not for the mining. Electricity (minus the energy lost in transport etc etc) is zero-sum. If the miner uses hydro, that means someone further from the dam is using coal, methane etc as the hydro company isn't selling excess on the grid.

Energy is finite on the grid, so yes mining takes energy which could have been used for (arguably) better purposes

I would like to work on something that has (the potential to have) a positive and tangible impact on the world. In my work I would also like to be challenged intellectually, on a technical level or otherwise.
Speaking as an author of a webauthn library who helps users set up their security keys as part of their training, it's about as easy as it can be. We give each of our customers 2 yubikeys for each user when they sign up, tell them to keep one on their keychain and the other in a safe location only accessible to them. If you lose/destroy your main key revoke its access use your backup and buy/setup a new one. No one has had difficulty understanding the process for our site since we show them all the steps up front and describe what to do in common scenarios. If your customers have a problem setting it up, it's a reflection of poor user experience not protocol design.
That sounds like trickle down economics idea. It's possible of course... But is it more likely than people taking out their btc gains and buying a yacht instead?
Apparently when a government when a government adds money based on economic analysis it’s BAD, but when an algorithm generates new magic bitcoins at an arbitrary rate set by satoshi every 10 minutes that halves every so often it’s REVOLUTIONARY.
I almost always hold off on purchases for a few days to compare what I eventually put in my cart (if anything) to ad-served competitors. There's usually very little overlap with them and the products I was already looking through, so it's a nice additional avenue of shopping around. Sometimes the ads include discounts/promotions as well, which is an added bonus.

They put a device in the exit door that beeps randomly on your way out, if the device beeps you get a bag search.

That’s how it is random.
It’s milder because you get in trouble only if you have something in your bag that’s not supposed to be there and since it’s random you don’t feel targeted.
For the casual observer, yes.

For a "professional" miner, price swings are irrelevant. The same quantity of bitcoin is mined independently of the price. Bitcoins mined in March are worth the same of bitcoin mined today even if price is 10x now. And in March the same hardware mined more bitcoins than now.

Big miners are datacenter sized now, and such things are not built during a bull run.
This is it. Amount of energy spent = profits from mining / cost of energy.

While price is the main factor affecting profits, fees/volume and the constantly decreasing block reward also play a part.
Getting exponential curves right is very tricky though (just look at Covid). I believe using such escalating fees would just favor the big companies who can stay ahead of the curve.

Another idea I think worth exploring is mandatory licensing at fixed rates which decline over years and/or are tied to revenue the patent holder generates with the patent. The goal really should be to increase utility of the patent for the public.

Short answer: in theory. But in the world we live in, nothing else comes close to bitcoin’s $675 billion market capitalization.

It’s the only cryptocurrency that has institutional financial support.
How the 2020 Election Changed Tech in Politics Forever
Your putting words in my mouth. I never suggested that the description was the problematic part. A person can bring up tons of factual things that just stir the political and emotional pot (current events, anniversary of a war or assassination, quoting a politician, quoting current law, bringing up niche holidays, quoting results of research papers, etc, etc). The fact of the matter is that a company chat channel is best served as not being a police blotter,a history book,a memorial site, Wikipedia, the news feed of media outlet, or many other things that are still in realm of descriptive facts.

> You can't expect normal people to browse with JS disabled

> This is the real answer to the question, "why is my computer so slow"?

Yes I can. That's one of my criteria to start taking this seriously. Though I could be persuaded other ways.

Do you have any data to back this up?

Do any internet security suites (whose job it is to "protect people from viruses") advocate disabling JS?

Is Apple Safari switching off JS?

Are there popular Chrome extensions that do this?

If it's really that important to you, you can probably go help make one of the above happen.

Actually I care about front-end performance a great deal. I advocate for it, as well as server side rendering.

I'm just not convinced about the evils of JS. I routinely have plenty of tabs open and if my fan starts running I close the one that's using the most CPU. Half the time it's Slack.

So far, "I've disabled JS" translates in my mind to "tech extremist". Not seeing a lot of people doing it and not believing the reasons. At least not yet.

My technical decisions are driven by efficacy, expediency, skill marketability and what I enjoy working with. If you want to change my mind you'll need to speak to those factors.
The issue with video is that you never know who might be watching or even how long it is kept or what it is used for. It can even be used days/weeks/months later to find evidence against an employee, say to nit-pick scenes and use them against the employee (e.g. to fire someone). This also offers a huge asymmetry as of course the employee themselves have no acces to the video.
[T]he friends we made along the way.
You say private messages, but the BI article posted to HN before (https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-github-backlash-je...) calls the communications channel "a Slack group for Jewish employees."

GitHub was way out of line viewing and judging these messages. It doesn't matter what happened there. That channel is not for them.
> When I actually held bitcoins back in 2012 I always made the comparison to the amount of energy needed to transport physical bills in armored cars, hire security guards, build giant vaults, printing presses, etc. Back then it seemed a reasonable comparison to make

When I saw such comparisons, I always countered with two points:

- One, energy expenditure on Bitcoin network grows superlinearly;

- Two, all the expenditure for trucks, vaults, presses, etc. and management for it is considered upkeep. It takes money from the pockets of people who would prefer to keep it. So these costs are ruthlessly optimized down to minimum. If printing or transporting bills could be made free, financial institutions would jump at it. Meanwhile, in Bitcoin, burning energy is a core part of securing the network, and it's being periodically adjusted towards more waste. If mining could be made free, the network would collapse.

These points paint a quite different trajectory over time for Bitcoin's energy use vs. fiat energy use. And it seems to pan out.
> Emacs is _so slow_

That’s exactly what it felt like in 1991: “eight megabytes and constantly swapping!”
This kind of polarisation has manifested itself in NL too, where 'progressives' paint 'the other side' as uneducated, stupid, backwards or mentally ill. This really took off in the mid-80s after the left abandonded labor.

These people are citizens too, and if you got to know each other, you would probably find you are not so different. Might disagree on some topics.

So I find your post utterly disrespectful. But you are a citizen too, and have every right to hold your opinions.

In the end the proof is in the pudding ( elections ).
No, even a one man team can do a cookie cutter SoC with hard macros these days.

Mid-tier SoCs of around 2010-2012 period were done by teams of just 20-30 for most of brands on the market.

Only after the mobile market skyrocketed did RnD expenses skyrocket too as market competition started to get serious.
That's a good one. The article must be describing one particular pseudo reality in our society.
> Do you really think a homebrewed self-update mechanism is superior to the battle tested F-Droid?

I don't think it makes a practical difference.

> both users have to be online at the same time for their messages to be delivered to each other

Not only online but one has to be directly reachable, e.g. ping $IP works. With mobile connections it's rarely the case.

> on my own hardware where I am in control of the logs

That still means the users of your server trust you, you've just moved the problem. It only solves the problem for you as a user.

> This distributes the security risks across hundreds of operators in many countries with various data extradition laws.

I don't understand this argument: if a piece of (meta)data goes through one server and you think it's bad because this server can monitor this piece of data, then having multiple servers with various levels of accountability is arguably worse.

> those are all really convenient excuses for an argument which allows him to design systems which serve his own interests

You are still not discussing why his reasons are bad according to you, so it's hard for people that have found the blog post convincing to change their mind.

I'm also curious as to which interests you're referring to, especially when we're talking about a non-profit that develop FOSS software.
I don't think that's really a WW2 legacy, rather lessons from east germany's dictatorship.
> Have you ever been in academia?

Yes, did several studies and also a PhD with a Nobel laureat and some publications. I don't claim our present system is perfect; it's far from it; but I don't know a better one; thus my question: Do you have a better concept?
A lot of people are saying to read the stdlib, but the stdlib has a lot of objectively bad code in it. Some of it is necessary due to the nature of a standard library - you have extra concerns about dependencies to ensure people don't have to include the entire stdlib in every binary. Some of it is stuff they hacked together when they were still designing the language, and that initial code still works fine so no need to update it.

I think the source code for pkg.go.dev is actually a treasure trove of good ideas and design patterns, especially if you are trying to make a small to mdedium sized web app (which, lets be real, is almost all web apps anyone will ever make). https://github.com/golang/pkgsite

Congratulations!

Back when I attended faculty, I had a project assigned to me titled "Lempel-Ziv compression of binary strings" or something like that. It was one of the most fun projects I worked on.
Mainly a trust issue with publishers.
I know people who got mugged right under a public surveillance camera. They don’t help as much as you think.
Beyond enabling a hoarder, it can also attract more hassle than giving away a free item is worth. People who won't keep an appointment, people who ask you to deliver a large item across town for free, who show up with a trailer but no ropes and want to take yours, etc. An alternative is listing very cheap and then declining their money and giving the item away.
I'd say the project/moment actually started way back in the Craigslist free sections. I know many people who furnished entire houses with nothing but great quality stuff that people wanted to get rid of. A large van or pickup truck and a reliable buddy is probably the best investment you can make. Heck people will pay you to take away furniture that they spent thousands on a few years ago.
For whatever it's worth, I've found the same thing: that the amount of effort required to use Emacs on Windows is minimal. Since Windows is non-POSIX, inevitably some things are different, but it doesn't take much to deal with this.

My .emacs.d folder (now 15 years old, and a bit of a monster, a whole git repo with thousands of lines of nonsense plus a pile of submodules) has no more than a few spot hacks for Windows vs POSIX vs macOS.

(The most annoying bit has probably been keeping on top of the font names! - but interestingly these are actually super easy to deal with on Windows. It's Unix that's the pain in the arse here.)
