That seems much more doable than having a completely self-sustaining space industry on Mars (from mining to chip manufacturing and everything in between, all life support functions intact, all underground or in heavily radiation-shielded buildings, and no fossil fuel plastics, all spanning the Martian globe to actually get access to the various minerals).
France did but Britain largely did not upgrade the ROW to be straighter.

And it's largely irrelevant anyways because true high speed rail (TGV, HS2, ICE) doesn't start showing up in Europe until the '80s, long after WWII reconstruction wrapped up.

This appears to depend on user interactivity. How would you silently (and accurately) use this technique to fingerprint a system for cross-browser tracking?
Yeah I hate that method. It's good in theory but terrible for the user. I go to a website I want to use. I click the magic link. The email takes 10 seconds to show up. In that 10 seconds I find something else to do while I'm waiting. I get distracted and find the magic link in my email 10 minutes later. It's now expired and I have to start over. Or just give up.

With a password, I click the site I want to use, my password manager fills in the password for me, and I click "login" and bam, I'm done.

Globalism has been reversed in the past. It's not some end state of humanity.

Globalism => increased interdependence => increased fragility => collapse => localism => generate surplus from local institutions => increased profit opportunities from trade => globalism
Not sure I have enough of an overview to comment on that in general, unfortunately.

Ask HN: What are great documentaries for curious minds?
Documentaries today often seem to prioritize sensationalism and hyperbole at the expense of nuance and truth. It's often hard to find interesting, factual, and curiosity-inspiring documentaries on major platforms and networks today. A great documentary or docuseries, though, can be profound in how it affects oneself.

HN, are there documentaries or docu-series that you recommend?
This seems wildly inaccurate for me. On firefox with resistfingerprinting it says I have 23 of the 24 applications installed (I don't, that's more incorrect than correct), and on tor browser it says 0 applications installed (also incorrect, I have a few installed).

He might be right.
> Nearly every major union I've seen supports seniority-based promotions.

There are a number of well known counterexamples, sports and acting unions/guilds for example.

> If you have evidence that unions don't support seniority-based promotions

I've yet to see any tech union advocate for this position, and they generally advocate against it. Tech Workers Coalition and the Alphabet Workers Union are the two I know of in this case.

> If established unions support seniority-based promotions but nascent ones don't publicly support them

This isn't really correct. Unions in certain fields support seniority based promotions. But on the other hand, certain professional fields support seniority based promotions without unions. Like medical and legal fields have non-union professional associations that afaik don't advocate for any sort of tenure based compensation. Despite that the most sought-after biglaw companies use a mostly-tenure based compensation process. The medical field uses an unholy combination of merit (exams and matching) and tenure (residency).

> This is possibly one of those issues where a union gets power and then takes overarching, unpopular measures

It's unclear how this could happen. Unions are democratic. The members vote on things. They generally cannot take unpopular measures[*]. It may be that there is a majority in some industries that prefer tenure based seniority.

[*]: Ok the exception here is if in a "Right-to-Work" state people refuse to join the union, but it still has a majority membership and is therefore NLRB recognized, so you have say, 51% employees in the union, and those 51% have a directional bias. For example, everyone who supports tenure based compensation is a union member, and they make up 26% of the company, and 52% or so of the union. Then they vote and win and the union contract includes this clause. The fix here, of course, is for other people who don't support this to join the union. But then they don't want to because of the idea that unions are bad and support unpopular policies.
Whenever people start talking about Big Brain 4D Chess I think, probably not it.

Elon is pretty busy, before he got into space flight, he new very little about it. Some people at the time said as much. However 2 years later the same person said he was literally an expert on many things and had learned an insane amount.

This seems more like Elon became convinced of the potential of crypto currency in general, told Tesla to look into it, if it is a viable cash storage and if it is, logically using it for payments make sense.

Then they based on their internal team for evaluation of environment they saw that their entrance in the market caused a massive spike and released if this continues and they continue to drive people in that market it would be damaging for the mission.

It reasonable that they didn't understand how large the increase in power consumption was and how large it would be if it continued to be adopted. So rather then continue to drive in that direction they pulled the plug.

I know, its not a crazy big brain story, but its actually how most flawed process happen.
LGV operation started in 1981, long after any WWII reconstruction would've wrapped up with several decades of interim land development.

> Documents (or being able to have/save separate "calculation sheets") are actually progress vs not having them.

Yes, documents are good. But the Nspire architecture that wants you to create a document before choosing what to do in it and the weird tab idea is not great. As you say, a TI-89 is quick and efficient in comparison, which is why I still use it despite having got a Nspire. If I need to mess around before I can get something useful, I might as well start Mathematica.

>There is a reason why the handcuffs are called golden. At the end of the day employees decide to stay because it's worth it for them.

Precisely this. Coinbase has made it and now they want to keep employees from resting and vesting. Stripe did this too. they're just being cheap.
> Is it true that most of these FIDO keys try to prevent automation by, for example, requiring someone to activate a button on the device?

All the security keys I have require a human to be in the loop by pressing a button, but I don't think that's to prevent automation. I think it's to prevent a hacker who has control of your device from being able to use your 2FA token remotely.

> With our current set of trusted manufacturers, this would be slower than the solving rate of professional CAPTCHA-solving services, while allowing legitimate users to pass through with certainty.

Are those solving services automated, or do they just exploit low-paid humans doing mechanical-turk tasks? If it's the latter, I could totally see that changing quickly with a bunch of machines with 50+ port USB hubs filled with security keys.

That, and I'm glad I didn't read "Mensa-level IQs" while drinking coffee, I would have spit all over my keyboard.

Mensa? A low threshold, yet smart enough to be in the game if you can find something that really interests you. But you choose a club? Huh...

It's actually heartening that various people famous for their IQs have accomplished zilch in their lives other than being famous for their IQs. This tells you that the test is flawed, and that other factors determine revolutionary levels of success.

The magician/mathematician Persi Diaconis long ago explained to me about "memory palaces" and their effectiveness in competition. This can be generalized: The mountaineer Conrad Anker relays how European skiers can spot an American skier from far off: They waste effort. Many people had Michael Jordan's physique, but Michael Jordan spent a decade developing his physique into a world class athlete.

One is the architect of one's intelligence. The most poisonous aspect of IQ tests is that people believe them, and conclude that intelligence is innate, not malleable.
Do they still not support things like 2FA? At my previous company, we couldn't get buy-in from our security team due to them not supporting 2FA. The team loved Notion, but that was a deal breaker. Also, if I remember correctly, magic email links could not be disabled. There is no excuse for not implementing 2FA w/ an authenticator app -- it took me a couple days to implement it into my product. They've had people asking for 2FA for literal years (just search Twitter!)
Kidnapping for ransom is basically a dead enterprise in the US because of laws essentially forbidding the paying of ransom. Your appeal to emotion is exactly the sort of thing that ransomware gangs want people to hear because its how they make money. In the long run though its a terrible idea.
That's what you took away from my response? So what? It's not a problem that this kind of behavior is enabled and hurting the integrity of what the majority of people rely on for a shot at being able to retire someday? This is one fund that blew up during good times. How many others are out there acting this way and what's the risk that everyone is taking without even knowing by being invested in the market at all? Are you up for another GFC or bust that takes 10+ years to get back to even? Because these things are the seeds for that. Booms and busts aren't a good thing.

I guess I just see things differently. This isn't about being properly diversified, this is about the integrity of our markets and trust. I mean if the idea is that it's a free for all then why have securities laws at all? The US markets have been viewed as a haven of trust and stability. Garbage like this only serves to undermine that trust.

Three highly pathogenic β-coronaviruses have crossed the animal-to-human species barrier in the past two decades: SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. To evaluate the possibility of identifying antibodies with broad neutralizing activity, we isolated a monoclonal antibody, termed B4, that cross-reacts with eight β-coronavirus spike glycoproteins, including all five human-infecting β-coronaviruses.
The company could not exist without the employees, and for most startups it could not exist without the investors. Why should one critical component be rewarded not just with more of the company, but with better versions of the same rewards?

You can argue that employees are fungible, but so is investor money, and frankly I'd rather take random money than random programmers.
They accelerate reasonably quickly, but doing so any faster uses more energy and also starts impacting passenger comfort. People would like to have a cup of coffee on the table without hot liquid sloshing out onto their laps.
Yes, but that doesn't reflect the inability to learn. You're confusing cumulative advantage leading to a competitive edge with an inability of lower IQ humans to learn advanced skills. You will also find things like richness and beauty positively associated with winning competitions too. That you will find this doesn't mean memory can't be improved. It reflect cumulative advantage more generally. It is one of the reasons for the cognitive bias of the halo effect, a statistical side effect of the principles underlying the Matthew Effect. Edges are edges.

Critically, that doesn't mean that the skills aren't learnable. It means that people with the most advantages can exploit those advantages to gain a greater deal of advantage than someone who has less advantage.
Fair point. Here's what I'd say if someone was choosing between Keycloak and FusionAuth:

I believe that FusionAuth has a better developer experience. Everything is an API, the docs are regularly updated (though we can always do better). There's an easy way to set up developer environments to a known state (Kickstart) that I don't believe Keycloak has an analog for.

FusionAuth supports limited memory environments. We have folks running in 384MB of memory. From what I've read, Keycloak wants more resources, though Keycloak X is apparently a good alternative. I don't know if Keycloak X has feature parity.

Theming is easier with FusionAuth, more typical auth flows can be themed, and themes can be entirely API managed: https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#_th... vs https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/themes/

If you want to run thousands of tenants,, FusionAuth is better. Compare https://keycloak.discourse.group/t/maximum-limit-of-realms/8... vs https://fusionauth.io/blog/2021/03/29/seegno-thousands-tenan...

Both options offer support (Keycloak via the Redhat SSO package), but you can view our pricing without talking to anyone. I wasn't able to find pricing for Redhat SSO (that's usually not a good sign, but maybe someone who has engaged with them can add more, I could be mistaken and it could be super affordable).

FusionAuth has a 100% free as in beer edition with unlimited enterprise or social connections, users, and tenants. (There are certain usage restrictions; you can't package FusionAuth and resell it without a paid license, for example.)

Keycloak has a large community and is 100% open source. Those are definitely strengths that I want to acknowledge.

It's always good to evaluate software as critical as auth (or payments or notifications, for that matter) with a POC simply because everyone's situation is a bit different and it does get embedded in your systems (source: I picked Stripe for a startup and evaluated moving off multiple times to save money but didn't end up doing so in part because of effort and opportunity cost).

I think the implication is that this is far fewer bits of entropy than the authors indicate. Four bits (in isolation), are not a meaningful identifer.
Who said anything about laws? Apple's rules are no different from HN's rules. And for that matter, your house rules. They're arbitrary decisions to the liking of the respective party. They just have to not be against the law themselves. If they are problematic the solution isn't to generically "ban rules" (saying it out loud already hints at the "value" of this proposition) but to change the law to prohibit certain rules.
I think that's where the confusion lies. Are people suggesting someone to write their own auth from the ground up, or write auth in coordination with their stack's auth library of choice?

SAP, one of the largest ERP vendors, is dropping IE support this year for most of their products including legacy ones.[0] And according to SAP, "91% of Forbes Global 2000" are SAP customers.[1] So we can expect enterprises moving to "modern browsers" this year if not done already.

I do create B2B apps. Last time I had to support IE11 was 6 years ago.

Even worst and cheapest possible suit ["slim fit" preferably] is still making you looking better than 95% of people around - as they don't know the difference.

Modern nylon can look and feel GOOD if mixed with viscose. Such suits are ridiculously cheap.
I have few of such suits, and to be honest - people(let's say ladies on the street) do not see the difference between those and 90% wool ones. :)

Same goes with cheap Chinese shoes. If you take care of them - they will last even if they are shit. For example I still wear 100% leather shoes I bought for 40$ over 4 years ago. I just take great care of them and I fix them on my own.

My thesis is: get cheapest stuff and make most of it. Same as:

This is horrific for employees. Ben Kuhn already nailed the math here[1]. The optionality embedded in long-dated grants is a huge fraction of total comp at high-growth companies and represent almost the entire right tail of outcomes. It also requires assumptions about the future, which is why companies generally abstain from quantifying what it's worth. It seems like the companies doing this are trying to arb that uncertainty by retaining all of the potential gain for themselves in exchange for a slightly larger nominal income.

Don't do it.

Government exercises exactly the powers it claims and is not restrained from exercising. E.g., the US Constitution does not grant the Executive branch the power to torture prisoners taken without due process. Instead, persons nominally overseen by the Executive branch exercise those powers exactly until they are exposed and stopped.

The main use of surveillance is, always and everywhere, extortion. We see this daily among local, state, and federal police, abusing it to coerce the public to become informants; among prosecutors to coerce false admissions of guilt; and among spooks to convert formerly free individuals to "assets", and to enforce silence about abuses. It is used to coerce judges to issue unjust orders and decisions, to coerce witnesses to remain silent, and to coerce elected officials to vote against the interest of their constituents, or even to step down from an elected position or not to seek re-election. It is used to coerce awarding contracts or custom to undeserving suppliers, or to coerce lower prices in services sold.

Coercion need not be based on surveillance of the person coerced; it can come from surveillance of parents, siblings, offspring, friends, business partners, customers, service providers.
When I was a kid, prices were printed on comic books and on paperback books in the US. I don't know when they stopped.

It's like making a backup of your computer but never testing restore. The chances of that backup not being complete or recoverable are fairly high.

The backup of human civilization on Mars will probably be theoretically worse than one that can be made on Earth. But it will be supporting life, making it fully tested and thus practically better.
