I really dislike 2FA when it is linked to a phone number. There were so many situations where 2FA made huge troubles to me, e.g. I traveled to Asia before Covid, lost my phone. No problem, it is just hardware, I got a cheap 100 Euro Xiaomi phone around the corner and a local SIM card. But I could not login to my Gmail account to get the booking confirmations + addresses of hotels + flight ticket confirmations. It was pain, pure pain.

Apple forces me to instal 2FA, but I just don't want. I cannot use a third party app or tool but must use my phone number. This is pure pain to me, because I want to use things like Apple Cash or AirPlay from the phone to the AppleTV.

Is there a better solution? I dont know. But 2FA, especially when linked to a phone number, is terrible - at least from my usability point of view.

Meat, literally millions of years in our evolutionary past VS seed oils barely 100 (more like 50 for mass adoption), but surely "the science" is never wrong nor corrupted. Inform yourself on the history of this with Ancel Keys etc.
But you get the article points out, that there’s basically nothing anyone but china can do? Hasn’t USA per capital emissions been going down for a decade. Maybe the answer is only the USA and Europe are acting with urgency. In the USA it’s almost all the private sector. In Europe the public sector.

Now if we could just get reasonable government support for nuclear in the west, if only to out of fear of china, we’d be miles ahead of the rest of the world.
Ask HN: How does your company review and approve of code before pushing to prod?
If you work at a medium to large software company, especially if you work at FAANG, what's the process like for pushing code to production?

I read the inverse of this study. Looking at the effect of covid on pregnant women. More worse outcomes in general including a maternal mortality rate 22 times higher. Wide error bars but still 22 times.

For what it's worth, google's MFA setup is the best of any I've used. You can (and should) setup a variety of second factors on your google account so that if one of them fails for some reason you've got other options. Between backup codes, TOTP, pixel phone verification and multiple FIDO keys there's plenty of options.

This compares very favourably to, say, AWS where you can only have a single second factor and the recommended(!) way of protecting against loss of a second factor is to have multiple accounts with different second factors registered to each of them.
In 2003 it was merely suspected that covers were the intermediate. It wasn't confirmed until 2006. Read further down:

"In late 2006, scientists from the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of Hong Kong University and the Guangzhou Centre for Disease Control and Prevention established a genetic link between the SARS coronavirus appearing in civets and humans, bearing out claims that the disease had jumped across species.[62]"

It goes on to state that the bat link was confirmed in 2017.

Not quite. No script, even the IPA, is perfectly phonetic. Natural languages deviate in so many ways over time that this is the only possible eventuality.

Language is unconscious and you won't understand how it works until you let go of a lot of false culturally-programmed notions, and then actually study it by engaging with the work of linguists.

This is a clever comment and I'm surprised to see no further discussion. In the West, everyone needs to be the hero of their own story. Everyone needs to be an Achilles or a King Arthur, therefore everyone needs a dragon to fight. The bigger the enemy, the more morally entitled your actions feel.
The hardest thing for me to replace so far has been Google Maps. I use a handful of OSM map apps, but none of them come close to the local business lookups of Google, which I need quite often.
On the other hand, there are a host of reasons why the barrier to implementing those things has never been lower
No, actually you can do both (and more).

Advertising is throwing darts at the board with your eyes closed, whenever it lands somewhere on the board and nets you point is good enough for most.

Typical conversion rates are under the 1% threshold so you accept that a lot of your spend is not efficient but when it is, you make your money back and some, if you are any good at it.
There's some really great vegetarian options from world cuisine. I draw heavily on Mexican, Indian, Italian, Greek, Turkish, and southeast Asian cuisine in my home cooking. It's a nice variety and a good challenge to find the simple recipes that don't try to replace meat but instead taste excellent without it.
I never said "it doesn't support", it's just not the same.

Code re-use is just one of the aspects. When choosing a tool, especially a tool like a programming language, one needs to take "a holistic approach". Clojure is not a silver bullet. Neither is Haskell, Rust, or any other PL.

I like Clojure today, because today it makes sense for me to use it. For the projects I build. I'm sure, someday, it stops making sense for me to use it, and I will move onto something else.

You can use all sorts of arguments for people to try something else today, assuming they are just misinformed - either about Clojure or the other PLs (you're preaching about).

I can assure you though, most Clojuristas I know - didn't end up using Clojure by accident. It's a deliberate choice. After trying many other options.
I didn't know I wanted a volcanic land. how much?
I get what you say, but if we ignore how things happened, it's more likely to happen again.

A similar, though obviously still very different, example that came to my mind is Chernobyl. The incident made bad reactor designs and their consequences visible to all, and in the long run, it improved nuclear reactors' safety. How would you feel that after Chernobyl, there was no research on why it happened, and people would have said "well, what's happened happened, there is no way to change that, so why investigate"?

If we never figure out (and we don't even attempt) how the virus came to be (wet market, lab accident, intentional release, eating raw exotic animal, or just a normal mutation, I don't know, I'm not an expert, but saying the options I heard so far), the same circumstances will be continue to be available, and sooner or later, another (potentially worse) pandemic will hit us.

However, as you mentioned, there are negative effects of knowing things, so I wish whenever we do find out what and how happened, nations could do a "blameless post-mortem" (in case it was unintentional).
We hired a physical pentester and he got in the first day by convincing the night janitorial staff that he was an employee that left his badge on his desk and just needed to go pick it up. He wore a jacket with our logo to make himself look more legit.

He hid out in a conference room and had unfettered access to the office all night, he left behind a network device plugged in to a spare network jack behind a printer.
I actually enjoy trying out a variety of vegetarian and vegan foods for this exact reason - just to see how they compare with the meat based ones and how good they are overall. Frankly, it's gotten to the point where most of the food that i buy myself is vegetarian, just because of how many of those options are out there.

That said, it's not a black and white issue, as people sometimes like to view it as - if most people simply treated meat as something to only enjoy rarely (say, once a week or a few times a month) or something for special occasions, then we'd make significant progress in that regard already!

Alternatively, perhaps people should see how their meat is made, or try doing it themselves, to get a greater appreciation for the amount of resources that it takes to produce any (as well as maybe get a bit more empathy towards the animals in some ways). Personally, i've gone hunting with my dad, have gutted animals in the forest, helped bring them home, skin them and cut the bones, all just to enjoy some meat. That's not to say that it'd bear much relevance to the lives of most people, but it's certainly a very humbling experience.

Edit: In the words of Michael Pollan: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

I'm actually curious about how others view a more moderate stance on the issue of nutrition - one that calls for gradual changes.
Thinking you have friends at work is a mistake of youth. It is what it is.

It's OK to enjoy the company of your co-workers, to socialise with them, you can have some fun and memorable experiences with them. But you have to understand that there is a hierarchy, the job is what pays the money that supports a person's family, and if siding with a co-worker in a dispute with a manager would jeopardise that, then the outcome is entirely predictable.
It feels like with how relatively arbitrary and complex the hiring process is in companies nowadays the “take people with you” thing doesn’t happen as often. Even people I know who are absolute top performers anywhere don’t necessarily have the giant raft of interview-only skills. Having been in tight relationships at work I’ve still yet to see a team member leave and take anyone with them, except between management, where it’s happened frequently. I believe when you’re a manager or director it’s much easier to interview using job skills you use on a daily basis than as an engineer, where you need to focus on abstract puzzles.

> I've never been in a room on a hiring committee where they were like, you know what? let's give this white guy a chance.

I have seen people giving white guys changes again and again and again. And then make them fall upwards. Some took up those chances, others did not. I am not even calling something sinister in all those situations (through in some yeah). Just stating that giving a white guy a chance is not something rare.
They are, but outside things like almond milk almond flour, which are not often consumed, people don't base their diets on almonds, they are used as flavoring much more than they are eaten for their nutritional value (unlike rice or wheat or even lettuce).
If you don't want to sign away those rights, you can manually track content and file DMCA requests. Per the article, YouTube is responding to those promptly. Vasallo isn't entitled to have his cake and eat it too - he can either opt into the automated system with all that implies, or take on the Sisyphean task of identifying infringing videos himself.
GPS has service interruptions. Planned and otherwise.

GPS jammers may be illegal, but they exist, which means that they can be encountered.

Wet leaves on trees have been known to degrade GPS signals. Cross-country skiing exists, and may proceed through forests that are... Wet.

Safety equipment _must_ have a _failsafe_, not depend on the assumptions of the software. At no point in time is it reasonable for it to depend on something external to itself for whether it works or not.
If the evidence is that overwhelming, then why are so few researchers saying so? I can understand things being extremely skewed at the political and policy level - that's expected - and I can understand the media being skewed because I'm familiar with that on other issues. But if your argument is right then this is also basically a total collapse of the scientific community. That's harder to swallow. From your comment I assume that you're either a biologist or trained as such, so I'd like to hear how you explain that.

Go to some google service > profile menu dropdown in the top right > manage your google account > security > signing in to google > security > 2 step verification.

You can then 'add more second steps to verify it's you' including an option for an authenticator app (i.e. totp). Also worth generating some backup codes while you're at it.
It looks like he's the "too smart for his own good" kind of smart.

The only thing this lawsuit will do is instigate a careful review of every DMCA complaint he ever filed to make sure they were handled correctly. Those are the only "state-secured rights" he actually has. The whole point of the DMCA is the safe-harbor clause that indemnifies Google/Youtube from the claimed liabilities as long as they followed the DMCA process correctly.

From a legal perspective, it doesn't matter one whit that the DMCA process is so broken that it's basically useless.
Yeah, such a bummer that is probably not real! I like the panspermia hypothesis.

I use 1Password and it offers dedicated 2FA fields where it generates the tokens for you.
It might go against the second factor in 2FA, since the password and token comes from the same source, but it protects me against potential data leaks where my password might be included.
But for me, the biggest benefit is having to remember just one password to unlock 1Password which then lets you copy or autofill your passwords. This is why I even don’t know my actual password for such sites since they are auto generated arbitrarily characters.

If we apply Occam's razor [1] decision between "Wuhan, however, is home of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a leading world center for research on coronaviruses" and

> In case someone missed the story, Paul Graham is indirectly talking about the feedback received by Mighty App.

This is the subtext I came here for, thanks.

I'm undecided on Mighty, I don't have a strong opinion. I wouldn't consider it "revolutionary", unless perhaps they have a vision way beyond the product they've talked about publicly, but it would seem a bit unfair to use that as a defence against criticism.

One thing I did notice is that a few people involved or indirectly involved with Mighty seem to have a problem with the criticism on HN, which seems really strange to me if you consider yourself an open individual who supports freedom of discussion. You don't need to engage with that criticism directly, but presumably it's useful to be criticised - you'll need answers to those arguments. And if the criticism isn't constructive, well, who cares? There's always some noise.

It feels to me like "oh yes I want people to freely debate ideas and criticise them but just not the ideas I like".

The Jane Austen quote that starts this article is completely misread: she was being ironic. Her point was, why would a single man in possession of a fortune want a wife?

It is a little off topic but it is most discouraging to see a writer in the Atlantic make a mistake like that. Especially a professor...
> What is the probability of this pattern occuring in the case of a natural spillover? It's 1:atoms-in-the universe level.

This is untrue. I'd point to this quote:

“It’s pretty apparent that there’s this evolutionary arms race between the receptor binding domain and ACE2 that’s happening within the bats themselves,” says Tyler Starr, a postdoc in the lab of genome scientist Jesse Bloom at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “Whatever it’s doing is ratcheting up this evolution and sometimes spitting out things that can bind potentially to many different ACE2s, including ours.”[1]

The unique thing about COVID is the transmission and the long incubation time.

There are plenty of naturally occurring mutations that have occurred that are more contagious than COVID (AIDS R0=~4.5, Ebola=~2.5 are two major ones that spring to mind). And SARS1 had a very similar binding behaviour, and the jumping behavior via civets is very similar to COVID.

> The biggest problem with passwords is that users select them, and users are stupid.

I really hope you don't work with users or are doing anything that affects them. Users are not stupid, they maybe lack understand or are lazy and things are inconvenient. But the world is easier if you can just pass of your responsibility to the ominous "dumb user", isn't it?
It's a possible explanation, but that doesn't mean it's "very likely". In that case it would be easy enough to drive back down to the cave and collect the missing evidence of bat origin. Better yet, you'd never have to disclose the low-level employee part, so there'd be no political fallout. Easy win.

Also, my understanding (quite possibly wrong) is that while humans can get sick from bats, as cave workers did in Southern China, those viruses aren't contagious in the sense that the sick humans go on to infect others. "Since no case of an epidemic caused by direct bat-to-human transmission has yet been demonstrated, it is thought that the transfer to humans more probably took place via an intermediate host species in which the virus could evolve and move towards forms likely to infect human cells." [1] If that's right then your explanation of spilled bat samples is incomplete: it doesn't explain what caused the bat samples to adapt into a form that could spread among humans. That sort of puts us back at square 1. Another way of saying this is that if your explanation is likely, then we'd have expected the pandemic to have started where the bats are - through sick cave workers or something similar. But in fact it started far away.

I'm also a meat eater but have cut down on the amount of meat I eat. I think many of us in wealthy "western" countries don't realise we eat more meat today than in any time of history, thanks to industrial-scale farming and cheap supermarket prices. It wasn't always like this but we're now conditioned to think plentiful and cheap meat has always been the norm.

In fact, in many countries where meat is more expensive, meat dishes are balanced with vegetables to create a dish where both are equal partners. In contrast, in western cuisines meat often dominates a meal with vegetables playing a poor or non-existent supporting role.

This lengthy 2011 article by a British chef makes a good case for eating mostly vegetables but still occasionally enjoying meat from farms with high welfare standards.

The joy of veg:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/aug/26/hugh-fe...

From the article:

"Let me be clear: I have not become a vegetarian, nor do I think I ever will. So the dialogue I'm keen to begin with other meat-eaters is not about vegetarianism, it's about vegetables. I would love to persuade you to eat more vegetables. And thereby to eat less meat – and maybe a bit less fish too. Why?

To summarise, we need to eat more vegetables and less flesh because vegetables are the foods that do us the most good and our planet the least harm."

Your description sounds like it would spread lots of radioactive dust though. Which is bad for both the people on site and everybody downwind from the blasted thing.
Not only that, the recall is high, even if the precision is low at these top universities.

Several of my classmates are now separate post Series A startup founders (investors similar in stature to to Andreessen invested), another is a professor at a peer institution of MIT heading up a research group in theoretical CS, another created his own cryptocurrency (and it is gaining traction quite rapidly), quite a few YC acceptances from my class, too. By ONLY working at a FAANG-caliber company myself, I am considered one of the "failures" in my graduating class.

So yes, while you can knock a few people that gamed the acceptance system ("student"-athletes, legacies, donors, expert box-checkers, blatant cheaters, etc.), at the end of the day, the applicant pool of these schools includes some of the smartest people in the world, and there will be quite a few winners.

My advice: Do everything you can to get accepted into the very best university possible. It's in your power if you work hard and love what you do (for me, it was coding for fun). "Failure" here would mean attending a Top 20 university instead of a Top 10 (while largely reaping the very same benefits). My parents were ordinary school teachers, my zip code's average income was below the poverty level, and I was one of the few people in my high school's history to get accepted into a Top 10 university.
