Depends. Some have a bunch of magic numbers you can use as alternative "second factor", basically another password for the special purpose of bypassing a real 2nd factor. That's of course stupid and dangerous.

Then there are those where you can register another 2nd factor, e.g. another Fido-Key, SMS-Codes or recovery email. Those might be better or might be worse, depending on the method and circumstances. E.g. SMS is vulnerable to all kinds of SIM-Cloning and redirection stuff, email is vulnerable to whatever your email might be vulnerable to.

The only thing I would accept as really idiot-proof and secure is "go someplace, show a government-issued hard-to-fake ID" (like a passport, not your drivers license...) like banks do. But that only works with physically present businesses and accounts that are strictly tied to one person. And even there, "Joe Smith" might impersonate "Joe Smith"...

Are there other countries where it works that way? It's hard for me to see how a standard where you don't even have to come outside until your lawyer gets there would work; what would stop people from using the waiting time to destroy all the evidence the police came for?
Dual monitors for sure. Noise cancelling headphones with music that helps you get into your flow state.
Fun fact: when the police needed to find a judge to evaluate the strength of their warrant, the one they found was a family court judge brand new to the bench, whose signature in her warrant literally being the first one he signed in his career. They understand it makes it abundantly clear that they are engaged in a witch hunt, but communicating threats of state violence against whistleblowers is a much more important priority than the semblance of justice.
Well, you have three options forward. Either treat them like children and just explain on a loop, or you demand that they follow the basic process of adult reasoning and learning. The last option is abandonment, teacher/instructor burnout is a real thing.

And "I don't understand" should not be acceptable. Let them write out what they did and what exactly they don't understand.

For example:

To find out more about main, I searched for "Java main", and got the following: "All Java programs must have an entry point, which is always the main() method. Whenever the program is called, it automatically executes the main() method first. " Yet when I look at this code here, line ref/ code snippet, I don't understand why it doesn't have a main....

I don't have any natural talent for programming nor math, and cried for 2 weeks straight when I was going through my first programming book, my brain literally hurt.
I just ground that book.

Hasn't Amazon often had no profits? Not even Hollywood accounting, but plowing revenue into growth. Are governments and nonprofits free? This doesn't seem like a promising direction to me, even though I share the goal of economic traction for free-software development.
Correct. If Apple and Google want to do that, maybe it's a good idea, maybe it's not.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with the principle of free speech.
It's essentially a smartcard (certificate storage) in a more convenient form factor for most users, so you could use them to store your RSA keys - though personally I would not trust them - but they are not FIDO/FIDO2 so they are almost useless in the context of the article.

I'm not an expert here - I work in politics which overlaps a bit - it seems though that there is a very organized effort to install judges who go against this though right?

the Heritage Foundation has successfully placed hundreds on the bench who rule using plain text ultra-socially conservative legal theory. Even at the justice department some of Barr's speeches especially Notre Dame one are insanely religious and scary from my side of the fence.

And abortion seems to be the main test here too.

aren't there a few cases that could go before the supreme court soon where conservatives are hoping that Barrett's quote about re-examining past rulings and not holding precedent as the 'law' will reverse our progress?

It is how hooks are explained to the public, for good reason.

This API, which is one I came up with many years ago before hooks as well, is not hooks, and doesn’t have the same properties you’d want. It doesn’t at all allow composition. Honestly, it feels like you haven’t spent much time with hooks if this is your improvement. It's a great case of "making it look better but removing the valuable properties in the name of purity".

I already explained fairly well why you want hooks to be inline in render, as they need to handle side effects, they need to compose with each other and react to changing values, and therefore they need to constantly run to check for updates. It’s 100% how they are used by everyone.

I hope you find time to actually look at what hooks do more closely and find the power behind them.

Again - frontend always had highly stateful and state-changing components, they were just abstracts in ways that suited your tastes better before. But it is just taste you’re talking about, not some inherent superiority. You have to deal with state on the frontend that’s changing often during renders, and you want to handle it locally, and you need to compose and chain various units of logic. You can try and hide that fact behind more syntax, but it doesn’t change the fact that your inner function you defined is depending on an outer closure that is stateful, breaking your law of no functions that act differently when called with the same values.

Anyway, to each his own, if you don’t care enough to actually understand them and contend with what they solve then I won’t try and force you to!
I'm happy never buying a car until significant right-to-repair laws are passed. We need to be able to get our cars fixed anywhere and car makers need to be pushed to more standard practices and parts.
I think we might need to differ between advertisers choosing the micro targets and automatic context dependent microtargeting . And for the later we probably would need to differentiate between basing the automatic general purpose targeting based on the current context (the site you are on + what subsection of the site you are on + what you have in your shopping car and similar) with the actual context + history + ML based micro categorization.

In general what I am against is advertisements where

- the advertiser can choose targets based on too fine grained categories (micro categories)

- people get classified with too fine grained categories

(Both points are mostly the same.)

So "people who bought this book also bought books X,Y,Z" is IMHO fine, even if it can sometime lead to bad situations as it can be abused much less. (EDIT: But that partially because it shows real products, "people who have seen XY news also see Z news" would be a different thing.)

Losing the keys, due to whatever reason, means losing one factor. If the user loses the key, the "mugger" still needs to get the users' passwords.

Yes, they fixed the bug, which is good, but if you read jwz’s post, the issue is that these bugs don’t fail safe. A screen locker shouldn’t crash to an unlocked session. The design of a screen locker should take into account that bugs and crashes will exist and strongly prioritize failing safely.
>> Erm, so we're mandating what people should do now?

I am just a guy on the internet but I've been around the block so I share what I truly believe is the best advice.

>> unless you spend time with their work colleagues in corporate sponsored events you will be sidelines.

That's a naïve view. People don't sit in a conference room saying "ftoscano didn't come to the bar last night, let's ostracize him" - it's just that the more opportunities to bond with your team that you pass up, the worse your communication with them is (compared to what it could have been if you invested in it) which legitimately makes you less impactful at work.

>> And that's assuming that the corporate event is good at all. Which, quite frankly, most aren't.

Debatable but not the point. The point is that these things already exist and they are opportunities for you to build up your career (and maybe even allow yourself to have fun.) You can chose to hate it and not participate but like I said, that's strictly worse for you so why adopt that attitude?
COVID statistics can be very very difficult to interpret correctly, especially at the beginning when data was scarce.

For instance, most people agree it is best to exclude totally random testing sites from COVID numbers because even though the false positive rate is very low, at the beginning so was the incidence of COVID which means most of the positive tests would be false positive.

Including them or improperly dealing with that data would be considered base rate fallacy

This is just one statistical phenomenon that has to be dealt with. It’s complicated and sometimes messy but it absolutely requires top minds

The Great Filter thesis is that there has to be one or more very low probability events in the Drake Equation.

However, as per my other comments, you can update the distributions of your parameters in different ways, such that none of the events in the Drake equation have a particularly low probability.

Then the Great Filter disappears and there's no specific or few set of events to point to - it's just that the probability of all events succeeding in combination is extremely low.

It's a known problem forever because there's literally no solution. You can very well patch lsass.exe to add a backdoor, for instance.
At my last job, we had a 2 day off-site on an island that in all honesty was a lot of fun.

What wasn't fun was the month of extreme anxiety (I have social anxiety) and sleepless nights that led up to it. Up to the moment of departure I fantasised about "accidentally" oversleeping and missing the coach.

It's pretty hard to assess (at least for me) whether the upside (fun) was outweighed by the downsides (prolonged feelings of anxiety). In all honesty, I bonded more with colleagues on typical Friday nights at the pub (yeah alcohol, but plenty didn't drink).
Open letter to Magary:
Hi Drew,
as a counterpoint to the Microclimate Rich Guy helmet, I'd like to show you the AirJSP Poor Guy helmet. Because the real thing people wear with their hazmat suits is $1500 when made by 3M, but ours is only $500 and thus suitable for the Average Drew, someone like yourself.

Firstly ours is not so pretty. It doesn't have the smooth curved plastic that so beautiful silhouettes the autumn foliage of San Francisco.
Ours is also easier for journalists to use. Or anybody else who doesn't know how to read instructions (practically all born after 1990). There is no possible way you can put it on upside down. We have an instructional video set up to loud upbeat music as a "how to". Inside it is quiet enough to hear children. Outside it is audible enough you can yell and people just think you are yelling at them, and plenty would feel insulted because they aren't that old and not all old people have hearing issues.

It doesn't provide oxygen, it isn't buying glorified air, as some have put it. It just is a purifier, like how some people would prefer to have a Brita at home than to go to Walmart and mix with those folks because Walmart sells Crystal Geyser for $0.88 when Safeway sells it for $1.10.
And it actually filters, because there is no such thing as "hepa 11". HEPA is a standard by the Department of Energy, and "hepa 11" simply doesn't meet that standard. Ours is HEPA.

And I would love for you to try it because I think we should conduct an unscientific study to see whether journalists get different reactions from people just because they are journalists. Our AirJSP PHEPA, worns by myself, just an average guy, has only gotten positive reactions. One guy asked if I were from ET, which was the highest grossing movie of all time (at the time). Others have asked where the bees are (I didn't have the heart to let them know I wasn't one of the heroes involved in the catching of the murder hornets operation). And others have commented on how I look like an astronaut (the most exclusive club in the world, apparently).

It does have some drawbacks though. It limits your peripheral vision, which is probably a good thing as celebrities don't actually like to see all the paparazzi taking surreptitious photos of them (which will happen if you wear this). People actually want to come up and talk to you and ask about what that thing is-it makes you seem approachable, just like if you were driving a Ferrari that only costs $200,000, and not a Bentley that costs $500,000. And people can now see your face. And thus you may regret putting off that trip to South Korea for aesthetic surgery last February, when you had the chance to get your face fixed up for cheap, because apparently South Korea isn't even letting Americans in for essential purposes like aesthetic operations.

And lastly, because I am so sure AirJSP will provide you with many more hours of fun than scraping social media for all references to Hilaria Baldwin, I would like to send you one free for testing.

I don't know what the raid on Ms. Jones house was about and am going to reserve judgment until I do. There's just so much weirdness. She calls herself a data scientist, which she may well consider herself to be, but the state appears to have hired her as a website developer, and fired her as a website developer, because she refused to put out data in her capacity as a web developer that the state's paid, official data scientists were giving her.

I guess you could consider her a whistleblower. But it's unclear the state did anything wrong other than a) insist that the numbers from its data scientists be published on a state website instead of Ms. Jones's and b) protect its emergency communication system by investigating abuses of same by what to me, at least, looks like a very likely suspect.
When you use text to speech everything is a free audiobook. Unless, of course, the book itself is in a locked down DRM format where you can't access the text.

I guess it might be a misunderstanding based on 幸好之前用火绒的自定义拦截功能，设置了一些重要或敏感数据目录的保护。 "Luckily I had previously used Huorong's user-defined interception functionality to set up protection for a few important or sensitive data folders." (Which is how they noticed that QQ was trying to access them.)

1) Client is king :
- On my domain ( 3D edit), I have seen countless startups with good financing come.
They all died, not because of financing (be it too much or too little) but because all has a technology no client really wanted.

So yes at the end of the day, if you spend less (ie. being frugal), you will have more time to finalise your technology.

2) $$$ for market fit:
I think the only advantage of not being frugal is only when you take the ride with your friend called Market-fit.
At this stage you have to go fast. Really fast. So, having good money is very good.

Calling a woman a drama queen is not sexist. Just like calling a dumb man a meathead.

It would be sexists to say "all women are drama queens." Police some other type of derogatory remark elsewhere please. You're adding nothing to the conversation.
That's an interesting point (no idea why you've been downvoted for it). I have a few theories why that might be:

1. Groups like these were more likely to survive if they were isolated and not occupying territory that the (presumably) more sophisticated Homo Sapiens coveted, so maybe they just didn't get interacted with otherwise. Rama had a Vanavasa (forest-living) and a generally weird out-of-pattern life for the time, so had a slightly higher chance of encountering them.

2. If people in later stories did come in contact with them, they were probably trying to expand their territories or otherwise conquer the land. In that case, the stories are going to mythologize them as savage Asuraas, to give further justification to the conquests.

3. We only have a few stories, of unknown time origin, remaining out of hundreds of thousands of stories told by different groups in different places over the millenia. So even if a significant portion of the stories featured Vaanaraas, it's plausible they might all have been lost before they could reach us.

4. In particular, given that such groups were declining in numbers over time, and the fact that more recent stories are more likely to survive, it makes sense that stories featuring them are more likely to have been forgotten and lost to time.

While it's not possible to duplicate an existing key, it is possible to create duplicate keys in the first place - you can't get the secrets out, but you can write identical secrets to two or more keys if you want to.

This adds some convenience, though it also does add some risks e.g. in case of breach you can't tell which token was misused, you can't invalidate a lost key without invalidating others at the same time.
Since the author mentions Cinnamon and Gnome, I'd expect GTK land to be more susceptible (so I'd expect to perhaps run into similar issues with other GTK-based DE's).

Note how starting from Plasma 5, KDE doesn't officially come with a screen saver installed anymore, and only has a screen locking mechanism (kscreenlocker, which isn't exempt from its own share of bugs BTW).
What exactly are you trying to argue here? "Federated systems fail as well, so we might stick with centralized ones for efficiency". Is that it?

If so, may I suggest you read Antifragile?
I'd also add that elemental mercury is toxic if inhaled as a vapor. While I mentioned fillings as a safe use, there is a (very small) amount of vapor released when they're installed, and more gets released if they need to be removed. Not enough to matter in adults. If you needed enough fillings for it to be a concern the dental microbiota issues causing the decay would be a far bigger general health threat. Indeed, Alzheimer's is linked to gingivitis (gum disease) and the hypothesized link with amalgam fillings may be an artifact of people with worse gum disease having worse dental health, and thus more fillings.

On the discussion of values, I'd also like to submit "(expected) longevity" for consideration, which I think is distinct from "stability".

I made the switch from Vim to Neovim as soon as I felt confident that (1) the project was going to be around for a while, and (2) it was on track to "overtake" Vim (you may choose to disagree with me on this, I found built-in LSP to be a compelling selling point, but the specifics aren't really related to the point I'm trying to make). That it was almost completely a drop-in replacement, down to the init file, certainly didn't hurt.

Under the author's framework, Neovim apparently prefers "progressiveness" while Vim prefers "stability", and those two sound dimetrically at odds based on their descriptions; but both have large, active communities that aren't going anywhere. I'm not sure I can say the same about Kakoune, for example, which is a certainly a promising project but hasn't yet convinced me to jump the fence.

[edit for Emacs thoughts]: Now that I think about it, "text centrism" in my mind is also closely related to longevity. I don't care as much about the properties of plain text as I do about the fact that I'll be able to open/view/edit them _even if the application ecosystem dies_. I find Emacs attractive here with org-mode and, to a lesser extent, org-roam (the comparison here would be between e.g. SaaS productivity offerings like Notion).
