> Totp and other "second factors" are thought of as things that must be stolen, or if disclosed have a very short viability time.

TOTP gets set up in the first place when the website discloses your seed to you. It's not something that can't be disclosed. Seeds get disclosed all the time; workflows are built around it.

> Biometric are things that can't be disclosed

Huh?? Biometrics are things that it's impossible to avoid disclosing. If you're ever in a police station, they are free to sample your DNA. You shed it all over the place. If you ever handle something, you just disclosed your fingerprints. If there are any pictures of you out there, your face is public information.

> sms hijacks require a lot more than simply "knowing" a phone number.

I didn't claim otherwise. The intent of my sentence above is to say that a context which involves a working hijack attack converts an SMS challenge from a second factor into a password. If your attack is working, knowing the phone number is sufficient to authenticate as the victim.
But these cars aren't disposable, the whole point is that they are upgradable via software, is it not? These self driving cars will hopefully improve, but limiting them because 'humans don't use radar' seems short sighted. Perhaps we would be better drivers if we'd evolved with some sort of radar.

Also I'm not sure to which koolaid you refer, but if its the Tesla one you should probably know I'm extremely sceptical of their claims and have no intention of owning one.

It was more commonplace than now, but flying in general was much, much more expensive, and supersonic travel even more.

If you know you mine blocks regularly (e.g once per day or week), it's entirely doable. It's the miners who chose what transactions go into a block. In this scheme, the transaction is "secret", only one miner received it.
My current place is rented unfurnished. So I had to buy a sofa so that I could actually entertain guests. Now I have a quite expensive large, sofa that may not fit into my next place and so I'll either have to hope that I can sell it or just end up giving it away to a furniture charity.

Having my own mattress is a must though.
I had a Marxist teacher in high school, and I wanted to learn more about it, so I read a lot of Marx and other foundational socialist literature. I was very confused every time he infused racialism into contemporary issues, which didn’t seem to exist anywhere in the doctrine. I came to understand that racialism and genderism are mostly just tactics to dismantle capitalism ‘by any means neccessary’. But these are the same division tactics that utopian Marxists accuse capitalists of exploiting in class warfare. From that vantage point, the distinction fades between the depictions of capitalist exploitation and of revolutionary Marxism. It turns out that politics and war are defined more by tactics than doctrine, and tactics themselves by effectiveness rather than any moral or rational basis. This seems to be the point actually, of revolutionary Marxists, who observed that “power comes from the barrel of a gun”, and adapted their tactics to match, to win the battle over their utopian doctrine. If they had logically recursed one layer deeper, they would have seen that they are not fighting for the doctrine, they are fighting for the fighting. The other side is also full of empty philosophy, and the distinction between doctrines fades away when given either their best interpretation, or their worst.

So I wonder what he means by calling himself a Marxist. Clearly he’s diverging from the party lines.
If you don't interfere with money laundering, the criminals eventually acquire enormous wealth, and with it power. They eventually acquire enough power to take over the government. At that point, you're at their mercy, and theorizing about privacy laws becomes a bit pointless.

Like the other commenter I also thought the book was a dud and had nothing going on. But the "a teacher is what I see" finally clicked that series' large pictures were designed to communicate at distance. When my 8 month old wants to grab everything and not settle down to sleep, I can read her that book while she's in the crib and the calming cadence does its work. Will be fun to see her read it like your kids one day.

Or a large amount of smaller companies for which 5K in revenue a month won't look suspicious (I'm thinking of stuff like these small phone (repair) shops, and there was a massage parlor down the road that was open frequently but never saw any customers. Still managed to stay open for years. Maybe that grey Mercedes that parked out in front of it once a month had something to do with it?)

I have seen a bunch of these lately as I was researching another alternative to Turtable.fm. Turns out more than half my friends don’t have Spotify so I can’t use it with them. The genius of the old TT was that it (a) had very cute avatars and UX in general and (b) it didn’t require you to pay for a separate service. I wouldn’t mind paying myself that allowed me a certain sized “room” but the moment everyone else must sign up for an external service, let alone a paid one, it becomes a non-starter.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but bypassing NAT, congestion control and QoS is also a benefit when you want to build things like P2P services where you want a direct connection between peers and full control over the connection itself. QUIC will help a lot with those use cases.
In a consumer setting, I would be also be surprised. In this setting where it probably isn't clear exactly who the perpetrators are, you seize the assets until you can figure that out. I'm sure this wasn't all being done by "Sandwell Bitcoin Miners Ltd.", a registered British corporation majority owned by Joe Sandwell.
Yup, for Bitcoin it would mean having the mining power of a big pool, indeed.
The definition of a rent seeker is someone who seeks to extract payment without adding value, so I'd say fare collection systems fall in that bucket. The value is added by the actual transport system, not the fare collection system. I suppose that's just "rent" though, not "rent seeking" unless the company that makes the system is actively trying to inflate their prices, which it sounds like this one is.
> I'm attempting to use examples like Islam, Christianity, etc., etc. is that not clear enough?

You just grouped Islam with Christianity with "etc." :) That's still a continuation of the fallacy. You admitted earlier that you have not looked at the Quran, and that you mixed it up with Hadiths that I quoted. Do you agree that you do not have the necessary or even sufficient background to make claims about Islam in that case? I don't mean it in a disparaging way, and I absolutely encourage you to learn more about both, and about Islam.

> Alright... there you go. Can you doubt those principles? That is my main point!

I explained in my post, that a non-Muslim can look at those principles with an interrogative or even doubtful manner. Once he accepts them (and subsequently accepts Islam), it doesn't make sense to doubt them once more does it? Islam does not prohibit asking questions, it tells us to consult with people of knowledge when we do have questions about things we don't understand.

> Again, that is my point, science does not claim absolute truth!!

We don't claim that we know everything in Islam, the Quran states[1][2]

> and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

> and you ˹O humanity˺ have been given but little knowledge.”

Absolute and full knowledge is an attribute of God. Only He has it, and not anyone or anything else in this world. Islam tells us that our knowledge is limited, yet it pushes us to acquire more. The Islam Golden Age was a direct result of this understanding of Islam. The Islamic empire at the time became a central hub of science and knowledge, at the forefront of scientific endeavor. My point is that the false dichotomy that some people try to claim between "science and religion" totally depends on which religion is being discussed.

> (On balance, I personally think that not having the implicit conversions, as Rust and Go do, is generally the better decision, but I certainly acknowledge that C is easier in this regard.)

Really? I think there must be a better way - I also don't like implicit conversions, but the rust approach gets extremely verbose, especially if you want to check for truncation etc.
I suppose it depends for how long. I do own a house and moved around a bit when I was younger. But I fairly routinely travel for 3 or 4 weeks and, while a couple months would be unusual for me, it wouldn't be anything remarkable and, work-wise, spending some of that time working from Europe wouldn't be an issue other than working some later hours.

This looks like line noise to me. All that punctuation and quoting looks ridiculous. What is the problem with straightforward and trivial to parse things like

b = foo
c = bar

or even

a.b = foo
a.c = bar

This is why NextJS is so compelling; if you want to create an SPA (just like with create-react-app), it can do that. But with built-in 0-config support for SSR and SSG, you can pick and choose where and how data-fetching and rendering happen (client or server, at build-time or request time, or any hybrid combination), using one language, one paradigm, one framework. IMHO it's the obvious foundation for any greenfield (or brownfield) React project.

I've been building web-related things since 1998, and IME NextJS has the best DX and most flexibility of any framework I've encountered.
yes, you can email it to your miner buddy.

it's possible to spot such transactions if they violate transaction forwarding rules (aka standardness rules) but not consensus rules. for example, a transaction greater than 100kB is not standard but still valid.
The title is clickbait.

Both "welcome back" and "Sign In" show the blue outline around the field and safari asks the user to select a username in the dropdown without actually filling the field. The user needs to actively click on the username for safari to fill the field.

It's pretty common here in the US, too.

But it's also pretty common here to think that if you can do something yourself, you probably should, and save the money. So most people think "I'll move my stuff myself" before either doing that, or looking at their stuff and deciding it's worth paying someone instead.

A few years ago, a friend of mine asked me to help move. My wife and I helped him, but afterwards she said that she was never doing that again and that next time we'd just offer them some money towards the movers.

I didn't argue at the time, but I enjoy helping people move. It's a lot of work, which means it's good exercise, and you spend time with your friend on something that matters to them.

Also, I'm not sure how I'd offer that money without feeling like I'm looking down on them. It feels like a hand-out, not help. So I'll probably never do this, unless they straight up ask for money for a move.

Faces for avatars are almost always better than other options. We humans are really good at recognising faces, even cartoony or abstract ones, which helps users remember other users by their avatars.

Some people are visually impaired or face-blind so this shouldn't be the sole means of identifying users, but for most of us, avatars are really important. There are people who I know from online fora that I haven't visited in years but I still remember exactly what their avatars looked like.
Then, you should support more public transport, so that people can sit out in the sunshine and fresh air on their way to work and avoid spreading the virus.

Also, what is better about riding to work than about walking to work? The latter also does not spread the virus as much.

I don't think the public cares. And, of course, there are many news articles, like this but also about fiat, that show why 'privacy is bad, ok'; criminals will run rampant if we cannot track everything you do.

A core intent is that you should not be able to cause a QUIC peer to spew vast quantities of stuff to somebody it hasn't authenticated, so that it can't be used for a large amplification attack. If you emit even very small malformed packets perhaps from a forged address, a QUIC peer is still more or less obliged† to tell you there's a problem, and so if the malformed packet's origin address was forged, the real owner of that address gets an unexpected QUIC message saying there's a problem, and it might respond in kind - it's important this doesn't end up like two half-deaf retirees both shouting "What?!" at each other forever because one of them thought the other said something.

† What WireGuard does here is just ignore everything that doesn't authenticate. This makes diagnostics tricky. Why doesn't it work? No idea. Maybe try again?
> You'd be super sad if you could not reference a function defined later in a source file.

Would you? Most of the environments I'm in requires you to define the thing before you can use it, I'm not that sad about that. In fact, that seems to make a lot more sense than that you can define something after you use it, I'd expect that to lead to a compiler/interpreter error.
Yes, this. Unidirectional data flow is a fundamentally good idea. IMHO it's why React (the paradigm) has become dominant.

They look cool but aren't avatars mainly used to uniquely identify someone based on a picture?

A lot of these look too similar. The really boring approach IMO is to choose a random solid color and put the user's initial(s) on top of it. This makes it pretty unique and much easier to associate someone back to their avatar.
Left/right flicks are difficult to use on screens with lots of content on them, unfortunately.
Right. But if the NFT can be stolen or fraudulently transferred, and you have to resort to a central authority to enforce a legal right that exists outside of the NFT, what makes it better than a paper deed?

At that point it’s just an artifact representing a legal right that exists independently, which could just as easily be represented by any of the existing methods (e.g., paper, PDF, etc).

Apple bug- it's not really a bug

I have encountered this mentality often. I'm not sure if Apple users have so many bugs that they are used to it, or if it's part of the fanaticism.

I had so many bugs on iphone 6 I was baffled because the marketing "It just works". Upon voicing my issues, I was told from numerous people, "it's probably just doing X,Y,Z". Like that's an acceptable reason for bugs.
I don't love leetcode. I've spent maybe 10 minutes on the site in my entire life, because I was curious. I learned all this stuff in CS classes 15 years ago, and I've expanded my knowledge since then by playing with this stuff for work and pleasure. Maybe thats what you're calling "loving the grind"? Its not a grind for me, in the same way playing a video game I love, or reading a great book isn't a grind. Its not a grind because algorithms are beautiful.

I know and agree that algorithms knowledge is rarely useful in practice. Most professional programming work is in feature factories. But people who know algorithms well can usually also figure out react. The reverse isn't true.

> There's a lot more to CS and software/system design than just this l33tcode stuff.

I agree, though I'm curious what else is on your list? My favorite interview question was: "Here's some code we wrote with bugs and failing test cases. You have 30 minutes. See how many of the bugs you can find and fix." It takes some work to write a question like that, but its so worth it. I wish more companies invested the time into assessments like that.

> it's nonetheless very far removed from the skills one would actually find worthwhile

I literally found these skills worthwhile in my job just last week. They're usually not useful at small startups or at most product companies. But the field of programming is bigger than the set of things you and your colleagues work on.
Also, wpmigrate-db has wp-cli commands to export the database, I don't know if wp-cli search-replace can do that.

Write transformed data as SQL file instead of saving replacements to the database. If <file> is not supplied, will output to STDOUT.

Well, wpmigrate-db allows to replace multiple strings in one command and that's something wp-cli default search-replace doesn't provide.

Looking at the picture, they are using really old bitcoin ASIC miners from 2017.

A profitability calculator I found says this Antminer S9 can get $948/year of income in exchange for $1,371 worth of electricity. That's a loss of $422/year.

Obviously it's not profitable to use anymore, unless you are literally stealing electricity like these guys.
