I love the imaginary world where people debate this based on hand waving and I suppose emotional feelings and how it literally contradicts recent memory[0]. The debate is over, just like for trickle-down economics because the results have long been in, so at this point the only reason I can surmise is people who make this argument are either ignorant or selective of the facts they use, are disingenuous, or are just too high on their own supply to really interrogate it.

Yeah, the analysis here lends itself to a pretty simple heuristic: if the input for the password manager ends up on the page itself, the password manager is poorly designed. If the input ends up in a popup from the icon in your tool bar (which you can tell because it will draw a little arrow thingy that crosses past the edge of the web page), it is likely to be well-designed (in this respect).

All the icon on the webpage ought to do is indicate to the password manager that you'd like to use it, nothing else. You shouldn't be typing your master password there, you shouldn't see a list of sites there (perhaps you just see an option for the current web page, that's fine), etc.

1Password follows this rule and has a pretty good track record overall and I too use it. There are certainly password managers that don't follow this rule; don't use them.
El Salvador to Declare Bitcoin as Legal Tender
Some thing are experiential. I can't substantially explain riding a bike to someone who hasn't gone through the process of learning and then being able to ride. It just won't really make any sense and there isn't a frame of reference.

I strongly recommend starting a company and trying to sell something if you truly want an answer to your question.
I don't buy that. If there's one party benefitting from such tax, it's big players who can afford tighter margins. It's a play that mostly favours monopolists, who can also afford to have "serious studies" made.
I agree the total peak load on the grid would be lower if many houses had residential solar + batteries. The question is, is that an overall cheaper solution than if those solar panels and batteries were in utility scale installations?

The article claims yes. I'm saying I'm suspicious of that claim, because I don't understand why it would be the case. All of the issues you mentioned (politics, land, etc.) should be baked in to the cost numbers I mentioned (which are ~3x lower for utilities than residential installations).
Either you never had art class in high school, or you forgot that it does not get explained that nicely. Most kids, as well as adults taking casual courses, will never learn this.

Can we go "hey we can fix all of this with a switch in function"? Absolutely. Should I ammend the article with that? Yeah, also absolutely. Is it how the vast majority of people get taught three point perspective? Very much not.

Again, please file an issue so that I don't forget to write that section, because pages on the internet well outlast their life on hackernews, but I work on a million projects and will forget about this if there's no issue =)
If you're worried about that kind of attack, once someone has access to your computer they can install a key logger. Better to get in the habit of locking your computer every time you stand up.
You say:

>> Judging someone for their internet problems doesn’t make any sense to me

but also:

>> sometimes have to drop from calls because it lags and stutters.

That sounds insanely unfair to people you work with. If you're in a role where meetings are infrequent and unimportant, maybe this flies. But if you work with/for me and you constantly drop calls so the entire group has to wait for you while you freeze, can't hear what you're saying, etc etc etc - that's not a dynamic I want to inflict on my organization.

There's some inherent tradeoff between how you want to live and what jobs you can take on. Back in the work-from-the-office days, you had to limit your housing options by where you can reach the office daily in a reasonable time. With WFH, your ability to connect to the internet is analogous to your ability to get to the office.

If your choice of living on a houseboat means that you can't reliably connect to key meetings, it means you're not able to take on jobs where meetings are key. It's as simple as that and is a totally reasonable tradeoff to make, as long as you're making it consciously.
The prior probability matters because iff it is strictly less than 1 then your estimate should increase by a factor of:

P(Chinese | no memory, post-pan-Chinese callosotomy) / P(Chinese | no memory, pre-pan-Chinese callosotomy)

If the population of those who suffer from sudden memory loss is small, then post-pan-Chinese callosotomy, if you know you have sudden memory loss, then you are almost certain to be Chinese. However if you assume the observer cannot tell whether they have suffered sudden memory loss, the calculation becomes different.

I'm not sure what it's like to have a corpus callosotomy, but I'll assume you're correct and total memory loss occurs. If you suddenly awoke with an empty memory, how would you know whether you were just born or your memory was just wiped?

I submit that your prior should be exactly 1, since every human is guaranteed to have an empty memory at some point in their lifetime. If so, then the probability of you being Chinese, post-pan-Chinese callosotomy should remain unchanged.
There is nothing wrong with being woke. I'm as anti-surveillance as fuck and am an anarchist in at least a personal sense, but being woke has become this demonised term which started with giving a fuck about people around you and trying to be empathetic towards people who are from different backgrounds or different personal situations and thinking about the world as a whole and the differences between how it affects you and them and trying to change it. But it's been hijacked by right wingers to scare people about fringe people who want to take away your freedoms to be a cunt in a pub or something or lock you in jail for saying that you're English.

I'm not a huge fan of the hugely judgemental or jumping to conclusions throwing people under the bus culture that exists on the internet either. I've helped steward trans-pride marches where you've had a bunch of uni students threaten trans women for having certain hairstyles and seen just how fucking stupid it can get, but I ask any free thinking right minded person to be real sceptical of articles like this that seem innocuous and libertarian but have a simmering, underlying vibe of right-wing shit. Remember that "war on woke" was a Conservative slogan by our current UK government.
This case, decided yesterday, overturned the CA assault weapons ban. It’s expected to be appealed by the State.

The writing style of Judge Benitez is so matter of fact. It’s fantastic read. Here’s a teaser from the opening:

A huge advantage of using the one built into the browser is that it will protect you from phishing attacks. It is only going to fill the password if the domain matches. Doing this yourself it's possible to make mistakes, especially with lookalike characters.
That's honorable of you to bring lives into this planet uninvited just so you aren't a little bored later.
It is. But being a statistical thing, it's rare for an individual small customer to hit. Probably more rare than running your own servers since they're cared for well.
Sure, tell me: What does the Spanish/Portuguese conquest of Latin America have to do with the use of "Latinx"?
It doesn't help it, it does it. There are different native ethnicities still living and trying to maintain their culture and then US cultural imperialists go put everyone into one bucket and call it a day.
This kind of fiat stability is very challenging for small and poor countries. In fact, El Salvador doesn't _have_ its own currency for this reason -- they switched to the US dollar decades ago!

Is it worse to peg your economy to a decentralized cryptocurrency, or a fiat currency controlled by a large powerful near-neighbor who only occasionally even remembers you exist? (and sure as hell will not modify their fiscal policy with the needs of your economy).

Having a backup official decentralized currency doesn't seem ridiculous to me. Maybe I'd use Eth or something that can scale better, but the point is the same.
> We don’t plan our lives around elevated emotional states. What we want are worthwhile lives,

This article puts forth a premise and states it's a fact. This is undoubtedly a bad theory at odds with a number of religions, much less common sense. Oooh, edgy take, you want to be miserable, embrace it!
I used Campbell's "Hero's Journey" as a template for a work presentation to explain my team's research and product development work after a company wide re-organization. It worked surprisingly well to engage people. I ended up using Dan Harmon's circle w/ 8 stages, and threw in a couple gifs jokes as well.

The only downside is it took me about twice as long to develop the presentation: mostly getting all the important stuff in and covering the whole story circle in a balanced way. For situations where people already have context (internal team), it's probably better to just save people the time and not use the method, but when you need to make an impact, use the Hero's Journey!

The CCP is in the process of strangling water supplies to all of its neighbor countries. It will be interesting (ie. war) to see how this unfolds as the CCP dams the Himalayan headwaters that used to flow to Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. and redirects that water to arid Xinjiang.
I don't get how this went to me having no personality :)

I would care more about the product if it was something I believe in, maybe a job at Firefox because they care about a private internet.

Just that most of the opportunities are not something I care about, but I need to pay bills in the end.
Oh, I see. Yes, that's a useful distinction then. Will edit. Thanks!
If they're interviewing for a remote position, then their ability to use the equipment that allows them to communicate is part of the interview. There might be intermittent problems (internet outage, power outage, etc.) but if they are just entirely unable to manage videoconferencing during an interview then it doesn't bode well for them using it day-to-day.

Freddie Figgers: The millionaire tech inventor who was 'thrown away' as a baby
I’m disappointed that governments’ ability to reign-in misbehaving companies is predicated on them having a de-jure monopoly, as though its like magic enchantment: “naa-naa! You can’t touch me! I’m not declared a monopoly!”.

I don’t see monopolies themselves as being particularly special, I think laws to restrain the holders of captive-audiences in general would be more useful and serve the public good.

Percentage of revenue seems like the least likely to be gamed metric.
Except you are still storing the nonce/salt (not sure which you are proposing)...which means you can reverse it, so the data is subpoenable. It doesn't really buy anyone anything, in this scenario. It could help if the logs were stolen, but that isn't what is being discussed here.
My rule of thumb is that digital system error rates are about 1 bit per 10^12 to 10^15, depending on the specifics.

That's the typical bit error rate quoted by manufacturers of network devices and hard drives. Physically, something like a PCIe bus is also a network link, and has similar bit error rates.

Of course, some of these are detectable, and some are correctable. But some are uncorrectable, and the worst ones are undetectable.

In my experience, digital signing or encryption for protocols helps noticeably reduce random crashes and weird unreproducible errors. Similarly, disk formats like ZFS, BTRFS, and ReFS that keep cryptographic hashes of the data also regularly report corruption when used at scale.

A rule that I've come up with is:

Security is synonymous with robustness.

Things that improve one almost always improve the other, and neither is really possible without the other. Cryptography is not just there to keep the hackers out, it also ensures that bit flips are caught before they crash your mission-critical application.
Sure, but it does not protect against phishing. If they visit something that looks like their bank site, but isn't, they will type in the password from the paper. If they were using a password manager with proper integration it would notice the domain mismatch and refuse to fill.
To paraphrase: "What did they think they'd learn?" "That's why they withdrew it."

I don't understand how that reply works. Can you elaborate?

(The best way for me to reconcile those would be to interpret it as a snarky "you're realizing it's useless, they also realized that, so they withdrew it" but that doesn't answer the question of why they made the request in the first place. Or I could interpret it as "the quote below is why they withdrew it" but that's even further from answering the question of why they made the request in the first place. Is it supposed to mean "they withdrew it so we don't find out what they'd learn"? It's hard to see how withdrawing the request helps very much there. Overall, I'm lost.)
If this is actually implemented, there will be a lot of payment gateways which will take the BTC and give you today's USD equivalent immediately (minus processing fees). Pretty much the same situation as paying by foreign card.

Controversial opinion here! I don't think people who use languages like Julia/R/Python etc worry about most of the computer science side of things. Most of them are data scientists/analysts, statisticians and from pure sciences. Primarily because the availability of wide range of libraries that makes their lives a lot easier. Also many aren't too concerned about performance of the language either. It's indeed fascinating that the author's first language was Julia. It'd be interesting to know why the author chose Julia as the first language.
I use Rust because the program I am writing mainly maps types from type A to type B.

A dynamic language has no clue what these types are so you find out what you did wrong by refreshing the app at runtime.

In Rust it tells you instantly, so it reduces the iteration time.

Many web apps fit this “map data from A to B” domain, so having a specification for types A and B and getting the compiler to check all variations seems like it would save a lot of dev time.

Out of the type systems available I like Rusts best as it seems to map well to JSON using its enums feature to represent null or polymorphic types.

But you need to pay the learning curve of Rust, which I am still not sure it is worth it.

Your opinion on the product does matter.

Even if you get a lot of pleasure out of puzzle solving and other technical aspects of your work, you will experience moral injury if you are working on a product that you think is harmful.

I defer to subject matter experts where I work, I am very much a specialist in the details of the system, but I know the product I work on makes some people happy and it gets mentioned on the news (in a positive way) almost every day.

That adds to the satisfaction of my work.

This book

https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0...

says that a good corporate culture has a mission that is obvious to everyone who works there and that everybody can understand how what they do relates to that mission.

It might not be "I am pumped to work on this product" but it is "having a story that makes sense", which is absent in many workplaces.

> The numbers that we use to signify each new node are just numbers that companies pick.
Yes, but generally only when human life is on the line, such as aerospace. For just about everything else, the cost of redundancy in dollars and speed is too high. After all, problems are extremely rare, and when the extremely rare problems occur, it is extremely unlikely it matters. Versus a guaranteed cost of more than tripling your hardware, power, data center etc. costs. Maybe you do it in part of your stack, such as redundant mainframes or database nodes. But the most you will see on your appservers is ECC memory in an attempt to avoid cosmic ray bit flips (a similar problem we have been aware of for decades).

Strike payment recipients can withdraw their USD balance as BTC to any Lightning-enabled wallet (or any other wallet, for that matter) [1]:

How to purchase bitcoin with Strike

1. Open a Lightning wallet or Bitcoin wallet of your choice. (If
you do not already have one, see our recommendations below)

2. Generate a receive address or invoice for the amount of btc you
wish to purchase.

3. Scan with Strike and hit send. Done! You have just converted USD

Plus, at least for Safari, it's only protected by the computer password, which is much less secure than the kind of pass phrase that password managers ask for. My mother-in-law has her computer password on a post-it that is stuck to the monitor. Using that, I can go into her browser preferences and see the plaintext value of all her browser-stored passwords. I never use it, myself.

Concretely, I joined the Julia slack and ran into a very welcoming community of people who helped me learn. Julia's like that so far.

Yes, I agree many data science people don't dive into internals - but for some reason these low-level details keep fascinating me so I don't mind some of the pain.
How does BTC change that?
Kinda betrays your bias by uplifting "experienced systems programmers" and shitting on the "narrow perspective of academic programming". God, calling it a "betrayal" softens how explicit your disposition is actually. On the other hand, Rust will probably in its current form not be used for anything seriously academic (well, may be cs academic which is different) because honestly the memory paradigm is difficult to understand for people in the field.

May be one day, assuming the rust mentality becomes more mainstream but computational science has always been its own thing that doesn't really follow cs trends (both good and bad in its own respects) and it certainly isn't moving in the direction of more intelligent memory management.

> To deem his punishment censorship — even though it is on a private platform that is not the public square — is exactly what he cynically hopes we will do.

Wikipedia defines censorship as "the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information"[1] and says that it "can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies"[1]. So that facebook is a private platform is irrelevant. And even if Trump cynically hopes that we call what happened here by its name, we should do so anyway.

Wireguard, OpenVPN, IPSEC etc are just ways of shuffling packets of data with encryption.

What I'm describing is actually a really easy or at least really cheap way for an organisation to grab an extra factor when authenticating their VPNs.

There are loads of howtos (most are completely wank but there are some decent ones) on minting AD SSL certs for users and computers. That's something you "have".

You could simply use SSL certs or you could also insist on a username and maybe a password ("something you know").

You use RADIUS because that is a long, long standard way of meditating auth/auth to facility.
