In that scenario, do you have individual accounts on the computer or are you all using a single login and sharing it?

I've never worked for an airline, so I can't say what happens in that specific scenario.

However, when I worked for a chemical company, printing out the hazardous materials labels for sample drums that were shipped all over the country, the computer had a single common login for all users.

I don't see how that is a nightmare.
In fairness, that headset is something I rely on every day, for hours of the day.

The article says Amazon began shipping this feature in its products secretly, so 'junk' in the sense that consumers didn't ask for the feature and it's crowding the medium mainly for Amazon's benefit.

Cops almost never kill law-abiding citizens in the line of duty, so I doubt you'll be able to find much evidence supporting this claim. And no, you're not a law-abiding citizen if you die resisting arrest after committing a DUI.
This is a made-up problem. Passwords are fine. You need some way to authenticate users and using a magic link increases friction if someone uses a password manager or does not have access to their email. I can log in to Bitwarden once and auto-fill any form on any website with one click. Using a magic link I have to:

1. wait for the email to arrive

2. click on the link

3. navigate back to my inbox

4. delete the email

5. navigate back to the app/website

(this is my inefficient way of doing it, I just don't like to have emails lying around that I don't need anymore)

> All this work just for the auth, which is not your core product and not what users come to you for.

What is part of my core product, if it's not something as basic as the authentication? I dislike the idea to outsource every tiny bit of a solution, especially if it's something I better keep control of.
It seems like a lot of schools and colleges have resorted to employing Orwellian test proctoring services.

Shareholder return and the wages of skilled labor/management are very different things! No one is getting rich off a nonprofit merely for putting capital into it, is the point. Nonprofits still buy things that are expensive, including the efforts of skilled and effective people.

Any form of Non-Cellular Internet is good as telecommunication industry is at best oligopolies or at worse monopolies in most countries; But unfortunately wireless Internet is still largely dependent upon them.

Apart from other reasons discussed here on why mesh Networks aren't the go-to choice yet, there's another problem I'm noticing in India; 4G(LTE) Internet is cheaper than any other form of Internet delivery here.

It's well-known that India has the cheapest 4G data plans, So in-spite of innovative startups trying their best to crack into city-wide mesh network they just couldn't compete with the pricing of cellular Internet besides 4G data is the means to Internet in most households here and they are not going to change to WiFi when they leave the house.

P.S. I've been tracking the need gap in 'Non cellular network mobile Internet' & I welcome related resources. Link in my profile.

I think your first scenario is a good illustration of undervaluing IT, with attendant eventual disaster.

Perhaps your second is IT being overvalued? You've described a situation where technologies are being deployed inappropriately by an organization ill-equipped to handle the ongoing effort required. This is the sort of silver bullet thinking I would expect from leadership that does not understand IT beyond that it is powerful.
Ugghh, I hate magic links. I use graylisting on my mail server and these magic links tend to take ~10min to arrive – at which point they're usually expired and I have to request another one. :(

There's probably nothing specific about 435px, but there's a good UX reason why the text doesn't take up the whole page:

If you look at PG's blog, 435px comes out to just about 10 words, so he's hewing to the guidelines. A bunch of other sites do this as well: take a look at the main column of the Facebook News Feed, or the NYTimes. Google Search Results go a bit wider (about 600px = 12-13 words IIRC), but the general principle holds.

Sometimes medical devices and similar come with a computer as part of a whole certified system. The regulatory framework does not tell you which computer you can buy, precisely, but it does tell you what certifications your system must have to be used for a given purpose.

Changing out the part for an unapproved one, obviously, voids the certification.
How are magic links higher security than passwords + two-factor auth? A magic link gives an attacker the ability to compromise any sites using magic links as long as they get access to the e-mail.

2fa + password means they could compromise the e-mail and still not be able to reset a password without the TOTP.

Social Auth is even more secure than magic links because the larger companies like Facebook and Google have already implemented SECURE 2fa and they've also implemented IP / Computer tracking so that if abnormal authentication happens you have to go through better verification.

If a magic link gets opened from Argentina when the user traditionally logs in from North Dakota, are you blocking that until they go through more verification? If not its not more secure.

I too would like people to work to provide content for me for free, which is what you are asking.

The problem is that paid content is bad. It's almost universally a signal of low quality.

My Twitter timeline, HN comments, IRC channels, obscure invite-only forums, or nerd/rationalists blogs have demonstrably better information on everything from the pandemic and nutrition to investment and programming than any well-compensated journalists I've ever read. Not to mention humour. They manage to be more accurate, informative, and funnier at the same time.

It should be difficult, nigh impossible, but isn't because paid media is terrible. Pandering to their audience, just the fact that everyone have a book in them but not necessarily four, groupthink in the MSM, adverse selection... I don't know the reason but I'm hardly the only one to see it.

I'd love it if you enjoyed programming so much that you'd code a database for me, please. I mean, i see little to no upside of the professionalization of computer engineering. Some things are just better done by amateurs, who do it for pure love of programming and for free.

Fungibility can add inefficiency even if it doesn't make a huge difference in the totals spent.

For example, a friend of mine used to work for an environmental agriculture non-profit. A large donation had been made that could only be spent buying trees to plant. Now, they planted a lot of trees as part of their work anyways so this seems reasonable.

The problem was that it did not cover the labor of planting the trees, tools for planting the trees, or many related costs. In practice, it took them many years to spend all this money across many projects, when an unrestricted donation would have probably had more positive effects sooner.

Moreover, they had to track how much was spent on trees separately for every project so that it could be properly accounted for against this restricted donation, which of course added administrative overhead.

This is going to depend heavily on the state, unless you try to volunteer with federal prison (called the bureau of prisons). Most states call their state prison system the department of corrections. I would conduct a search for your state and area based on this info. I wouldn’t spend too much time looking at anything other than DOC or BOP. Local jails generally don’t have long term rehabilitative programs like learning to code.

This comment has no relevance to anything. "Law-abiding" is not a requirement for life, and police extremely frequently fail to be law-abiding.
> Usually the way the donor wants the money spent is not the way the nonprofit would have chosen. [...] If a nonprofit doesn't understand better than its donors where money needs to be spent, then it's incompetent and you shouldn't be donating to it at all.

The situation might not be "understand", but "choose". The donor's interests in donating might not be 100% aligned with the effective mission of the charity.

For one example, I imagine the donor might have a particular problem they want addressed, and that overlaps incompletely with the activity of the charity, but the charity otherwise seems the best vehicle for addressing that particular problem.

For a less admirable example (but still perhaps beneficial to society), I imagine a donation might have PR or social status value for the donor, and a donation for a particular cause/effort sounds better than some of the less-fashionable work of the nonprofit. Or the donor might want the PR/status of their name on a center, and want to make sure that the center has funds to keep paying PR/status dividends.

I'm one of the people that prefer the mask (in my case the Airtrim [0]). I had problems with it getting to humid inside the mask too before I learned that if I just blow (hard) out once every 10 minutes or so most exess humidity will be blown out of the filter and there will never be a buildup inside of the mask.

I can really recommend getting one of these heat/humidity exchangers, I think both types of products will do the job. I had to give up many winter sports due to problems with the cold and dry air before I got my Airtrim. Now its like breathing in +20C all the time. Best 50$ I ever spent.

I avoid the subject since a friend insisted on taking about Bitcoin with me during the funeral of HIS mother.
It seems to me that there's going to be an unbridgeable gap when it comes to physical property. If someone hacks my wallet containing my "house NFT" and transfers it to themselves and I can't hunt them down and force them to return it, who owns the house? How do I sell it, if I don't have the NFT? Can I go get another NFT minted, and who from? How does the buyer know that this newly minted NFT represents the true ownership and the old one doesn't?

Suppose I die taking my wallet keys with me; how do my heirs inherit my NFT-ized house?

If the government is minting these NFTs and deciding which transfers are legitimate and which aren't, why are we bothering with all this?

Basically: at some point, an NFT will become separated from the ownership as recognized by the people who count (banks, governments, etc). Without a mechanism to reunite them, the NFT is not very useful; but if there is some sort of mechanism, it's really that mechanism that determines ownership, not the NFT and you might as well use a centralized ledger.
It's just a comparison of two groups similar reactions.

It could have practical application when any of those constraints are violated:

- Most crypto schemes haven't been proven secure in any absolute sense, only relative to other problems we think are hard.

- Protecting that entropy can be hard.

- Crypto is expensive. If you need a high bit-rate (another comment mentioned GPU Monte Carlo) then integrating these on-chip could be cheaper than mangling the same entropy source over and over.

- Adding to the above, using the same entropy source in multiple places can be prone to non-obvious bugs and race conditions where you use identical or correlated random bits.

Also, less secure applications often cannot get by with dropping the cryptographic constraint, and it might not be obvious when it can be safely dropped (even ignoring the arguments that usually crop up in these kinds of discussions like how for an online poker match you probably do need secure RNG) -- e.g., non-crypto RNG is prone to linear dependences and other problems which can significantly and qualitatively change the nature of all but the most trivial simulations.

As far as auto-learning to counter such things, https://linuxsecurity.com/features/features/introducing-crow... did show up recently: an attempt at a crowd-data-enhanced next-gen-fail2ban-alike. (Not an endorsement, never tried it.)

I don't think it uses any of the techniques currently considered central to machine learning, but if it works well / catches on to start with then it could be a good place to see how useful those would be.

Fundamentally disagree. Any bugs in the iterative approach are likely to be found during development on even the simplest of synthetic test data sets. But the recursive approach has a gigantic bug lying in wait for you to run more data than you originally anticipated: the stack overflow.
Arguably, being able to find a lost pet or wallet is not only Amazon's benefit. (Yes, it's a for-profit company selling the equipment, but isn't that true for headsets as well?)

As long as spectrum fairness is ensured (and I think there are pretty strict rules on duty cycles for the 900 MHz band, i.e. any given device can't be transmitting more than a few seconds every few minutes), I think it is up to the owners of the band to decide what's critical and what isn't: The public.

If you think about it, hours of phone calls every day are probably a more significant use of that spectrum than all lost cats and dogs of a city combined.

I think this approach is fine depending on what your product is and who your users are. One obvious callout is that now your login is tied to the delivery of the email. The article claims passwords are an additional form of friction, but so is going into your email and then clicking on a link. Some people use mailservers which as abysmally slow, and you have also now increased the cost of your product by sending more emails through your provider.

For me personally, the least friction I experience in a site is one that asks me to put a password and a username on registration and login. Subsequently, if I can optionally enable 2FA from the settings/profile page, I am happy. I use a password manager so this allows me to use a given site pretty easily.
