SMS 2FA isn’t secure, but what about a small retail/delivery business that uses SMS as the only means of authentication?

Payment is not done over SMS but separately through cash or Venmo, so it seems like the worst that could happen is a delivery gets nefariously ordered for someone who didn’t want it.
They're using Lightning network which provides almost free transactions.
It all depends on the contract and the jurisdiction you’re in. Definitely get a lawyer that specializes in employee compensation (in the US, those would generally be in the field of what is called “labor law”), ideally get the opinion of lawyers from 2-3 different firms.

Depending on the language the company included in whatever letter/contract/agreement you signed when you received your equity awards, the firm can do a number of things to screw you over as they please, as long as you had signed a contract agreeing to it: buy back your shares at $0.01, dilute them, simply cancel them, restrict them for an indefinite period, etc.

At this point, it’s not about what is unhappy/unreasonable. It’s about what’s legally enforceable. If they decide to be assholes, they can just cancel your equity and wait for you to sue them, at which point they might out-lawyer you. The steps you take from now on will improve or reduce your chances of winning a potential lawsuit, so lawyer up ASAP.

Thank you for doing this. It's frustrating when websites either (a) require you to have a perfectly calibrated monitor to view the content or (b) require you to have a monitor as color-broken as the author's to view the content.

I don't think people realize sometimes how much variance is out there, among both desktops and laptops, in how the grayscale in particular is rendered.
Wow the Bureau of Water Reclamation actually has a pretty good website where you can graph all the aspects of reservoir data. https://www.usbr.gov/rsvrWater/HistoricalApp.html I would say that less inflow to Lake Powell would be a sign of climate change. If you look at the past inflows since 1965 the most recent years seem to be in line with the past. It looks like total releases might have increased a little lately but not that much.
I have used TransferWise, Moneygram in the past for international transfers. Good thing about these services is that they let you know in advance the conversion rates and fees which, for some reason, the banks won't let you know until the money gets transferred. I personally don't care about the fees as long as the final amount is better than what other services could offer.

Now a days I have been using skrill and have been impressed with the speed of delivery and the conversion rate. The rates are better than TranseferWise and Moneygram and some of the transfers were done in 1 day! It also allows debit card to be used without any fee which is quite convenient. Although I wonder how do they save money compared to using the ACH payment?
El Salvador is using the lightning network to facilitate transactions for the most part. They are using the work of Strike & bitcoin beach in El Salvador as an example.
I mean, I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if they took political prisoners if Fastmail showed up to court to fight, or hammer out an agreement. Let alone what they would end up having to submit to while operating within the country. Russia is known to be pretty hostile towards the west.
I you want to see a country that appears to be extremely fond of roundabouts, you should come to the Netherlands. In the past 20 years a high proportion of crossings has been replaced by roundabouts.

We do not always have sufficient space, especially in city centers. The normal solution there is to make traffic one-way only. I do not know if they consciously try to avoid left turns, but it would seem to make sense.

I would certainly advise visitors not to take their car when visiting a Dutch city center. Using public transportation is a lot easier (and cheaper).
I'd look at stress indicators first. Nano plastics have a lot of issues, but it's not a silver bullet. We live in a world where most people are constantly stressed out.

First hand I've seen stress cause physical changes. Never realized how bad it can get.

A number of tube lines in London also has this. Central Line, (parts of) Jubilee Line, both do if I recall. Those lines are "semi-automatic" where the driver is providing oversight and operates the doors whilst the train will automatically drive. Driver can override easily.
Is it any stranger than relying on sunlight for farming? It's the same thing, really.
The time depends on your problem. The real time is more about bad things happen if you don't respond on time. If you click on a webpage and your browser times out loading it is a real time failure, but the failure isn't bad enough that anyone thinks of browsers as real time because the failure isn't really harmful.
It should be a plug in hybrid tho
What the normal people will use in the beginning is going to be non-custodial LN based solution like strike. Minimal fees, easy to use. If you get a bit more, move to custodial LN wallet/onchain transactions. More fees, more security and less trust. And once you have too much BTC start storing them in an offline cold storage.

Firefox makes the majority of that income via their Google partnership today. Recently, the majority of it was coming from Yahoo.

The browser's market share will ultimately determine the market value of the search partnership, so Vivaldi will likely have a much lower income from it than Firefox, but it's in no way limited by whether they partner with Google or with any other search provider. For a smaller more efficient team, not maintaining their own browser engine, it could easily compare in sustainability to Firefox's income stream.
How are businesses expected to deal with the high transaction fees (>$5 last time I checked)? The minimum wage in El Salvador is $300/month. Even lightning network wallets must make periodic on-chain transactions. Also most crypto exchanges charge a minimum fee for any withdrawals. These costs seem like a significant burden to place on a developing country's small and informal businesses.
I'm not sure what you're saying with that link. Can you clarify?
Sure. Then just say I’m mad because these water bottling companies get the water concessions for cheap (and I don’t), instead of some other made up reason that might be less honest but a more sympathetic argument.

It's entirely possible to believe that alien life elsewhere in the universe is possible or even likely, but to be extremely skeptical of supposed UFO sightings.
Yeah I agree with this. But companies are used to wasting time and money. It’s much less of a disruption to the company than to an individual. The guy with the monitors/computers/whatever has less time, less money, and less knowledge — he’s got more to lose here.

Global shared control plane updates are frighteningly common. For example Cloudflare regularly brags about how your configuration updates are pushed around the world in single-digit seconds. Sure, it is an amazing feature, but it opens you up to this sort of issue.

All changes to critical infrastructure should be a gradual rollout (emergencies aside). Instant sounds nice, until it isn't. If this rolled out to one region for the first hour it likely would have been caught and Fastly could press the "stop all rollouts" button.

It's even more complicated as aquifers cross state lines and you can end up with situations where one state has 10% of the aquifer but can draw more than 10% of the water.
>First note, the bill is not yet adopted!

Wasn't there a vote?
Arguably the reason they bottle the water is because of the cheap concessions. Without those, their profit margins are a lot slimmer and maybe the industry is much smaller, leaving more water out of bottles.
Any plans to integrate with Teams?
Then the negative externalities should be properly priced in.
Don't forget the waste.

It takes ~3 units of water to bottle 1 unit.

It's less decentralized, but it still gains from the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. The "settle up" transactions and the "punishment" transactions take place on the L1 blockchain. If someone tried to cheat the lightning network, they would fail unless they were also able to cheat the L1 network, as my "proof that you tried to cheat me" is submitted and validated in L1, not L2.

Gas furnaces are FAR more efficient than their electric resistance heating or even heat pump counterparts. Not to mention that a simple gas burner works with no moving parts (other than the solenoid valve) for decades with no maintenance, while heat pumps, in my experience, are far more troublesome than regular HVAC units, and still have to fall back to grossly inefficient resistance heating (even in a normal central Texas winter!) when temps dip below freezing. (One great thing about my parents moving several years back was leaving their $400-1000 annual heat pump repair bills behind. It wasn't just a bad unit - it was the third heat pump they'd had, and all (even from different mfrs!) were similarly troublesome, esp. for heating.)

It all boils down to the fact that the states don't have a reliable identity verification system. Can't securely recover accounts, have to resort to silly 2FA methods, and so on.
LN still requires periodic on-chain transactions to close and open payment channels. So either these costs are being passed along to the users in El Salvador or the wallet provider is subsidizing it.

That was the first case of something my child learning contradicting my own outdated education.

The funny thing is that it is not like this is some new discovery or new knowledge -- Webster's 1913 dictionary has five oceans: "Ocean: 2. One of the large bodies of water into which the great ocean is regarded as divided, as the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic oceans." https://www.websters1913.com/words/Ocean So you get to feel like you have a more up-to-date education than your grand parents, your kids feel like they have a more up-to-date education than you, and it all is just a cycle of fashion :-P

Globally is the key word here. I'm not familiar with bottling industries in the south west, but in general, if you're taking a scarce resource from a locality and distributing it elsewhere, it should be clear how that can quickly become problematic. It's more of an issue if that scarce resource is as fundamental to survival like water.

Ideally, the SW would be importing bottled water, not exporting water, because it's not something they have in abundance. If there are large commercial operations exporting water, they should be the first to be cut off from these operations. That seems very unlikely it would be permitted though.

Personally, I've never wanted to live in this area (or at least make a large investment in a home/property) due to the scarcity of water coupled with growth. Nothing against the region, just seems like an unecessarily impractical region to live due to environmental factors and the climate models I've seen, at least for my comfort levels.

The geography of united states and north america is what gives us unique weather. The rocky mountains create a huge 'divide' in our geography and naturally ends up causing what is known as 'lee troughing' on the eastern side of rockies. Essentially the mountain range promotes low pressure development (storm development) on the eastern side. Which is why the other side of the mountain is so dry. Our side of the general storm system is wet, their side out west of rockies is dry.
Do you have any sources for "Other governments are already accumulating BTC silently."?
FF is my daily driver (since Quantum in '17) but I've found it really just isn't holding up these days:

• Profiling functions between Chrome/FF reveals that Chrome is frequently considerably faster (usually 60%+)

• During WebGL work I'll often hit blue screens around memory management (this seems to be a relatively recent development)

• Similarly, trying to profile a WebRTC application with video feeds will consistently trigger a blue screen. (I can tell this is from FF, as the browser itself flashes white a few times before the system goes down.)

• Things like the UI changing - while minor - are enough to cause inconvenience, plus the occasional random feature removal (View Image context menu option) indicates that I'm not necessarily the target audience for the browser.

I actually slightly prefer the devtools in FF than Chrome, but there are a number of quirks that have started appearing over the past year or so, ranging from actual bugs to just weird UX.

As I write this, I'm realizing I'd love a browser that's seen more as a devtool than a catch-all web navigator which happens to have a profiler built in.
I don't think LN is easy to use. Common trope is that most Bitcoin maximalists have never used it.

Not a dupe. The earlier thread from 3 days ago is about the announcement that a bill would be proposed to make bitcoin legal tender. This thread is from the news from several hours ago that the bill officially passed into law by Salvadoran Congress.

I think it's pretty apt. Scrivener is a large, configurable application. The only real difference in the analogy is stock Scrivener is easier to navigate and nicer to use than stock JIRA.
Yep - very good point - you can easily see my bias here since our "plants" were suspended in water (an algae farm) so it was never a concern for us - but if you look at the basic photosynthetic formula you need as many molecules of water as you do of CO2.
The bank is at least equally at fault, if not more so.
If they're hard to avoid, it's because lots of people are voluntarily choosing them because (in their estimation) they provide the best value for cost.

I personally find it rather annoying that the mumbly trap influence has infiltrated a lot of popular rap, and if I'm going to hang out with other hip hop fans, I end up hearing some stuff I don't personally love. But it's popular because a lot of people like it. It's not impossible to avoid -- there's just a cost to avoiding it because of its popularity.

Google's like that.

I thought about mentioning those companies, but I considered them to be too small of a market comparatively. For example, almost everyone buys 12-24 packs of their semi-locally bottled water, including national brands Dasani & aquafina that come from local bottling companies. I can't talk about the water issues in Fiji and France, but my guess is that it's <1% the total volume of bottled water consumed in any given area (outside LA or NYC of course).
It's exploitation of under-developed regions with ridiculous profit margins: Free water, cents for billions of PET bootles, packaged and sold for dollars.

It's for the SRE roles. The continuous change of frameworks, languages etc happens in SWE world as well but I guess the difference is when you're making those changes you have necessary support around you. Your team / group has product manager so you know what feature needs to be there, your team lead negotiates those so you don't need much convincing all the time, your product marketing manager keeps rest of the company in the loop. In the SRE world, you pretty much need to all of those, while doing fire fighting. So the problem is not the change itself, but how it's done and amount of effort it requires I guess.

I experienced this in 2 FAANG SRE orgs, might be the case we had not properly thought SRE org.
