Password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can save and fill in TOTP codes. Maybe not perfect security but a big win for convenience and loss prevention.
Just distorted number because of increases homelessness. Sarcasm , however, there is a bit truth to that.
I've found the iPad to be a great place to isolate shitty, resource-hogging communication software (ahem, Slack) to a dedicated shitty-software-I-must-nonetheless-have-open-all-the-time console. This makes that practice even better, with the unified control and drag & drop and all that.
This article says 3 devices are supported and uses an example of iPad MacBook and iMac - so I think it will cover you, unless it’s m1 only.

Why? The loan didn't get paid back magically. It isn't going to get paid back by other loans. It will eventually be paid with taxable income.
For comparison, Sidecar didn’t work for me until late in the beta cycle. I think it was the last public beta where I finally got it to work. Ultimately I could never get in the habit of using Sidecar because it turns out I have to VPN into work, thwarting Sidecar altogether. I expect VPN to prevent me from using Universal Control too.
I'll be on the lookout... Tnx!
Private buyers are usually looking for homes to live in and the one institutional buyer I've spoken to gives any existing renters the boot as soon as they take the title. The linked story sold an entire block of rentals as one lot. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone at a fund will see this thread and be interested in the idea.
My email client / provider leaked only DNS prefetch... nothing else... Before I even opened the message! I reckon it was my provider, as the IP address reported was wrong for me.
> First, you need to get the iPad and Mac relatively close to each other. Universal Control is built off the same Continuity and Handoff features that have long been a part of iOS and macOS.

Bummer. This means that this will be an iCloud-only feature, most likely. (Apple seems to have no reluctance to this, as HomePods also require iCloud to set them up.)

More pushes toward Apple services. :( It would be nice if I could use the full features of the OS/hardware I bought without having to engage with the privacy nightmare that is Apple's approach to network services.
Doesn’t that mean the cert is already invalid by the time certbot notices, so you already have an outage? And if certbot is running daily then that outage could be up to 24 hours.
I read it more like a whine "don't blame our opamps, they better than resistors" :-) But it is something I've become much more familiar with building RF frontends for software defined radios. You want as much gain as you can get to pull in weak signals but keeping the whole thing noise quiet is really really hard.
> I'm not speaking from naivete here. The main point is that it's temporary.

Perhaps not, but you're not speaking from all the experience in the world either, and you're understating the dangers.

I personally know someone who jumped off a parking structure on LSD, and I know another person who had ongoing mental problems triggered by LSD psychosis, where "temporary" included a bout of hospitalization and moving home to live in his Mom's basement for awhile, while he got his shit together.

And please don't say that suicide and psychosis happen to people when they aren't on LSD as well, or handwave about "don't take it if you might have latent psychosis". I know more people who use ecstasy than take LSD, and I've never heard of someone killing themselves on it; and how, exactly, is someone supposed to know they have latent psychotic tendencies before a heavy acid trip triggers them?

LSD is an incredibly powerful substance, which should be treated with respect, caution, and even a bit of fear. Obviously it can be worth it, the median LSD experience is life-changing in a positive direction, but in my humble opinion 2CB and psilocybin have a lot to offer while being less dangerous. 2CB doesn't appear to be psychotogenic at all, and psiloc(yb)in lasts 1/3rd as long, is less stimulating, and an hour of psychic trauma (which lasts a subjective lifetime) is less risky than six hours of psychic trauma (each of which lasts a subjective lifetime).

Of course, among my friends, the second worst outcome was nine years in prison. LSD shouldn't be illegal, and it has a lot to offer the world. But just like people should know that downhill skiing risks breaking your neck, no one should go into a relationship with LSD thinking that a 'temporary' bad time is the worst thing that can happen. It isn't.

Yes, I was referring to 2CBFly-NBOMe and 25I-NBOMe. There may be others by now, but if so I'm not aware of them. Point being that "LSD is not physically dangerous" needs to include the warning that not everything someone puts on a blotter is LSD, and some of those things can kill you in a very unpleasant way.

I've been to a bunch of MAPS conferences and met Jim, so since I don't like Sam Harris I'll pass on that particular podcast.
Maybe they suspect that a developer may want that land.
Here's what we need: if the beneficial owner of a property is not a resident of that state the property tax rate should be punitively high. This includes any corporations or LLCs that own property.

It's important that we have property as an investment vehicle... to a point. After all, that's where the pool of rental properties comes from. But this kind of national carpet bombing of housing supply by hedge funds is the last thing we need.

As another example of what I consider a disgusting practice: hedge funds have bought up the trailer parks and then jacking up the rent. These houses are technically "mobile" but actually have limited mobility. Each move also damages the property. These should be owned collectively by the residents of the trailer park. But hedge funds know they essentially have a captive market to prey on.

Much like when Goldman Sachs created an investment vehicle for wheat and then drove up the global cost to profit at the expense of actually killing people who couldn't afford to eat, I put this in the same category as disgusting and morally reprehensible. And while it's up to politicians to fix it, you can still hate the players.
Congrats on the release.

Again, other than AWS which "more sites"?

Dropbox, Facebook, Google, GitHub, GitLab, even Login.gov works fine with multiple tokens.

More sites should do WebAuthn (you should not do greenfield deployments of U2F today, WebAuthn is the standard). Yes, AWS should fix their feature but that shouldn't block the next ten would-be Unicorns from doing WebAuthn.

It’s only during the Council, outside of the Council every country expects documents in their language.
The baseline assumption is that they read your contract and do everything. It's their job to get it right. If they're attentive to the stupidest thing in your contract, they probably did an OK job on everything else. Sure, it's still possible to be electrocuted during the show even if the M&M's were right.

But, rock stars are not going to arrive early every night just to stay alive. The buck has to stop somewhere, and EVH decided it was in the bowl of M&M's.

I'm not sure I understand the difference between Sidecar and Universal Control. Is UC just Sidecar for more screens?

(FWIW, I use Sidecar every day and it works really well.)
I dunno, I honestly think their sacred algorithm needs work.

Here's a dead simple suggestion that would help increase viewing time for me at least; if I queue up X number of different videos, don't just base autoplayed video suggestions on the last one. Look behind and base it on the other videos too. That would make for much more diverse viewing instead of just falling asleep to the same topic/channel over and over.

The biggest thing preventing widespread adoption of a land value tax is the implementation. Someone still needs to decide what the land is worth, there isn't an objectively fair way to separate out the value of the land from the improvements.

Or put another way, many of the same tactics can be used to distort/contest appraisals "dark stores" and deed restrictions that prevent other uses, but without an objective way to combat them
It's useful as an upper limit--if you're leveraging past what Kelly suggests you're almost certainly overleveraged.

In theory, Kelly is optimal--if you knew the exact probability density function of your returns, it would give you the right leverage to take.

In practice, you're always playing with risks, some you're factoring into your models, some you're choosing not to because they're intractable, some you're not even aware of until they occur. The most basic premise--today's returns will be a function of hypotheses that I've derived from looking at past observations--is an approximation at best.

This mismatch between model and reality can lead to expensive lessons learned when using the full Kelly model, so often traders will "half-kelly" or something like that, to incorporate the basic idea of risk scaling proposed by the Kelly model but with more safety margin.
A classic fencepost error. If you use SQL you should be aware of this if you use the BETWEEN operator; it will select values inclusive of the stated endpoints, which may or may not be your intuitive understanding of what "between" means.

Money needs to move to benefit the economy. In my opinion, one of the big problems with the super-rich is they have more money than they can ever spend (over several lifetimes). This money is just siphoned out of the economy. We're taking natural resources and work and converting it into a number in a computer and that's it.

There is such a glut of money doing nothing that there is hardly any place to even invest it. You even have companies, like Apple, sitting on massive cash piles. A pandemic can't affect the stock market or housing because all this money needs somewhere to be.
> More and more gestures you don't know about as a normal user.

I see this complaint quite a bit, but it doesn’t make sense to me. Of course there are more and more features, and of course most people don’t know about most of them because there are so many.

> Where is the "all the gestures" instruction manual from Apple?

If you want to know about the new gestures, Apple demonstrates them during keynotes whose sole purpose is to announce them. They are covered internationally by pretty much all of the technology press.

As others have pointed out, there are in fact many places where Apple documents them too.
The rich have done this for a long time (borrow against assets to avoid income). What is the purpose of this article now? Are they gunning for an unrealized capital gains tax?
The Kelly criterion is to financial math as the Fibonacci sequence is to mathematics. Yes it's neat, no it's not special, please stop bringing it up all the time.
Only because they don't feel threatened by it. The uptick in high profile infrastructure ransomware attacks is the first penny to drop there. A second will one day be high inflation rates for the USD. I don't pretend to know when that happens, but history of fiat currency is clear that it will happen with certainty eventually.

Bitcoin cannot succeed past a certain level because then it competes with the USD and becomes a threat. One way or another its days are numbered.

Don't forget the US outlawed gold at one point. Competition with the fiat currency monopoly will not be permitted because it undermines the sovereign power wielded by the state.
> Text-to-speech in more languages, including Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish

>> It’s because Intel Macs don’t have the neural engine these features require.

This is of course utter horseshit. Text-to-speech might be slightly easier with a "neural engine" but the fact that it can be done just fine in other languages without a "neural engine" belies this statement.

Dragon Systems (among others) was doing completely offline speech-to-text dictation on Macs that were 1000x less powerful than today's Macs 20 years ago, and doing it well. If Apple doesn't know how to do it today, that says a lot more about the competence of Apple's programmers than about their hardware.

I feel like this highlights a disparity between the users on Hacker News and the common people. For the majority of us , our work was easily transferable online or we we’re (for the most part) essential workers. This was not true for a good chunk of Americans who struggle to make ends meet and lived in states were unemployment benefits were so inaccessible that people had to write their state politicians to push the backlog along. For people like this the stimulus and other just as important things were crucial to their survival.

What’s an absolute joke is that the Richest Country on this planet showed the most embarrassing display of helping it’s citizens while our neighbor up above was able to. I cannot see the how states on their own would be able to help their citizens when they have no ability to print money. This was absolutely the role of the federal government and it botched it in the most insane way possible.
Like several commenters pointed out, using separate systems seems the best approach for the short term.

I suggest that you first implement the system for multiple schools before re-architecting your system. Your will have better understanding about which parts of the system should be customizable and which ones should not.

Do not attempt to make your system overly customizable. I have seen several systems where almost everything could be customized. In most cases these were pretty complicated to use, and of when the customer came with some request we had to change the customization code itself, because the request could not be satisfied with a change in customization parameters.
No. Working on a team does that and has nothing to do with agile. Prior to agile ever existing I wouldn't go off on my own doing whatever I wanted for more than a day or so unless I checked in with my team. It's not about asking or granting permission, it's about being a good team member and communicating.

"Hey commandlinefan, I know you've been waiting a week for X, but I decided to go do Y. Oh, you needed X to finish something important, and could have gotten someone else to do it if I let you know? Yeah, I don't like to ask for permission."
>Maybe the bottom 90% have more debt simply because costs are rising faster than wages and ability to save.

You just rephrased the article. What you are saying is identical to what the article said.

If companies don't borrow money from the wealthy and don't spend their money on hiring people or higher wages then then there are unemployed people who must (emphasis on must) consume (think of food and rent) in excess of their income because their income is 0 and the only way they can keep consuming is by going into debt. Therefore what you and the article said is the same thing.
Not really. Every EU Member State could only nominate one language. Some of them nominated an "alternative" one because their main one was already an official language (e.g. Irish).

This is the reason the only Spanish language which is an official EU language is Castillian. The other three (Galician, Catalan and Basque) are not EU official languages. Same happens to many other languages spoken in Europe.
If Klingon were invented in Europe and designed to be a pan-european easy-to-learn language, sure. Otherwise, Esperanto has some desirable attributes as a universal second language.
Right, but this doesn't change that; in fact, increased rental stock probably increases affordability, both directly and in a bunch of knock-on ways involving zoning and variance decisions.
You can also "loose, etc" the phone so it is equally weak on that front. Except the SIM can be hijacked, so SMS is strictly worse and never better.

Best compromise between usability, access and recovery is to always use TOTP but be sure to always securely back up the secret offline. Don't ever just scan it into a single device, as then you're back to being able to lose it and be locked out.
> Certbot added logic where the certificate will automatically be renewed early if an OCSP check shows it is no longer valid.

If anything mainstream actually checked OCSP, this seems like you'd still be effectively making the old cert unusable before the new cert was issued, which is unfortunate.

On the plus side, I don't think OSCP ever went mainstream.
2FA goes one of two ways:

1. You increase the risk of losing your entire life (if 2FA is properly implemented and avoids all social engineering process risks)

or

2. The 2nd factor devolves into a 2nd way to get access to your account

You really can't have both security and convenience.

> wiped their phone that had an authenticator app

try this one: battery dies in an iPhone. iPhone won't boot until battery is replaced. Battery can only be replaced at an Apple store. 2FA: do you feel lucky, punk?
I hope that holds. I have a buddy/tenant that is waiting for an IPO this month. When it finally drops, he'll know what he can afford and then he'll start house shopping. I likely won't be able to have my house on the market until August.

Congratulations!
> They are almost invariably driven by unrealistically evil people, and the stakes are typically too high to bear any relevance to most of human life.

Usually authors try to make high stakes feel relevant by making you feel close to the characters or by connecting the high stakes situation to universal themes, although not always successfully. More interestingly, many good novels make relevant and fairly ordinary stakes feel like high stakes. Kurt Vonnegut's short stories[0] and The Bell Jar are great examples.

I don't want to pile on or try to convince you that novels are actually for you (sounds like they aren't), but I think this is an interesting distinction to make about "high stakes."

Why is capitalizing the first letter of a string so convoluted in Rust?
When the Wall Street Bets traders create a bubble on stock, it would seem to benefit existing stock owners and possibly the company itself. What stops one of those beneficiaries from intervening to create one of those bubbles?

For example, Peter Thiel could gift cash or stocks to influencers in Wall Street Bets. I'm certain I'm not the first to think of it.

When things such as stock prices become unmoored from reality, then it opens the door for other influences.
They would be in the users' wastebaskets with all the other paper shipped with the product

Apple products ship with almost no paper these days, and haven't for a good number of years.

Usually it's just regulatory certificates and a quick setup leaflet with a link printed on it for the full manual, which nobody ever reads, with predictable results.
> In theory, Kelly is optimal...

It's optimal for one utility function (log of future $), but that doesn't make it necessarily optimal for everything, right?

Prop 13 is $30B (billion!) per year. Surely there are cheaper ways to fix the "red tape" and "awareness problems",
It seems to me that the original is more along the lines of "bank and government debt may be less efficient allocation of capital than giving it to the people who will end up spending it anyway". Because it is. Debt is almost always less efficient than using cash - especially if you're not rich.
I don't understand this point. I'm saying that whether or not a particular subject is a "crank" one is not closely related to either its truth value or whether that truth value is even ascertainable.

I haven't made an argument for why the ones I've listed are actually crank subjects; I consider those granted and I'm not particularly interested in justifying them.
I used it in live trading last year, I couldn't really make it work.

I precalc my stoplosses + stopgains then use a simulation to get the win/loss probabilities on training data.

What I observed is the kelly formula really prefers the tiny stoplosses, so when you sort your predictions by kelly score it will pick the ones with tiny stoplosses.

What happened to me in the live test is the tiny stoplosses triggered, when a stopgain would have triggered later.

I know someone is going to say "thats a problem with your stoplosses+stopgains OOS performance" and they are right, but OOS stoploss+stopgain calculation isn't trivial for me to calculate :\

I don't think Universal Control uses the local network, I heard it uses 1) iCloud to link up and then 2) direct WiFi/Bluetooth for communication
