I can't imagine a scenario where people assume an 8 y.o. device is automatically trash, only because it's old.

I'm typing this on a 10 y.o. laptop. It still works. Sure, the manufacturer and browser vendor released updates, but it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary if it didn't.

That being said, I think its predecessor would still work (for posting a comment to HN at least)
Can't kill the vibe.
I see this being enforced in places that value IT security (both reliability and confidentiality).

Not doing so make leaks a matter of time.
i remember reading about asana on here years ago. wasn't it supposed to be the thing that saved us from JIRA but ended up turning into the very thing everyone hated about JIRA?

I agree, and I'll stick with this one :) Nobody can mess up your system better than you can anyway.
There will be many. Be prepared to say, “we were wrong.”

My pet issue is the mass slaughter of animals for food / factory farms.

I believe today’s normalized routine that builds businesses off animal suffering for consumption or entertainment will be seen as absolutely barbaric.
That jumped out at me, as did this excerpt from the paper: "[Covid skeptics] believe that science is a process, and not an institution."
I think this mixes up two things: (1) segmentor-integrator dichotomy and (2) flexible working patterns.

For example, I am an extreme segmentor (two laptops and two phones, both of which are either off or put away in silent mode when I'm not working; zero work-related stuff on any personal devices).

At the same, my working patterns are very flexible. I just look at my diary first thing in the morning to figure which meetings I need to attend, and plan the rest of the day however I see fit. Going to the gym, for a run, sitting outside to read, running errands or getting a massage in the middle of the day are all completely normal.

I encourage my reports to take a similarly flexible approach to working, regardless of where they are on the segmentor-integrator spectrum (most of them are integrators).

Your organization SHOULD follow NIST SP 800-63B Section 5.1.1.2

https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-FAQ/#q-b05

Q-B05: Is password expiration no longer recommended?

A-B05: SP 800-63B Section 5.1.1.2 paragraph 9 states:

“Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically). However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.”

Users tend to choose weaker memorized secrets when they know that they will have to change them in the near future. When those changes do occur, they often select a secret that is similar to their old memorized secret by applying a set of common transformations such as increasing a number in the password. This practice provides a false sense of security if any of the previous secrets has been compromised since attackers can apply these same common transformations. But if there is evidence that the memorized secret has been compromised, such as by a breach of the verifier’s hashed password database or observed fraudulent activity, subscribers should be required to change their memorized secrets. However, this event-based change should occur rarely, so that they are less motivated to choose a weak secret with the knowledge that it will only be used for a limited period of time.

I don’t personally believe in the concept of employer-owned / managed devices; they’re a Trojan horse into my personal space. I buy my own tools, and use them for my livelihood subject to my own narrowly-defined security locus.

I don't get it.

You have to host the static page somewhere. Why not host the data in the same place (as a json blob or whatever)? It seems like the implication is all the data in dns is static, so what's the benefit of adding dns to the mix - you already have to use something else to host some of your static resources, why not just have a single static host instead of two separate static hosting systems?

(Yes in theory you could write a dns server to dynamically answer queries, but that doesn't seem like its what is being proposed here)

Dont get me wrong, its cool you can access dns from a browser, but i dont think this is a compelling usecase (something like web torrent in the browser with magnet links in dns for a decentralized web, seems like it would make a good demo for this technique)

Both NIST and NCSC now actively discourage password expiration. And it took them only what, 30 years, to catch up with real-world best practices?

That said, there is a place for 30-day rotation. That's when the so-called "password" is actually a shared secret for extremely high-value systems. Payment gateways, for example.

I bought that ebay cat last year after my cat was destroyed in a U-joint failure when the prop shaft impacted it at speed.

It is not empty, and the car passes a CA sniffer test with flying colors using it.

It is pretty cheaply constructed though, thin walls, and the ID seemed a bit smaller than stock so not great for power.
I think it's valuable to shift the focus from the information to the presentation of information. The information isn't controlled by Google, but the presentation absolutely is, and as mentioned elsewhere, makes the ML look authoritative, and seems to be implying an attribution to (if not outright falsely sourcing) Wikipedia, contradictions and all.

The tech is pretty neat and all, but this is a blatant misuse.
That's not my fault.

Haven't you just described Android's existing work profile feature? It works exactly like that as far as I'm aware.

Work profile requires explicit support from your IT department, but Android also supports multiple user accounts on one device (each gets their own lock screen, home screen, app switcher, notification shade, settings, installed apps, etc), so you could segregate things that way too if you can't get your IT department to support work profile.

I feel like multiple user accounts is an underappreciated feature of Android. I just got an iPad and it's a real drag that you can only have one Apple ID logged in on it, one set of apps, one home screen, etc. Tablets are made to be shared.

Some static images would be nice.
What we're trying to do here is standardise how machine-readable data is stored and retrieved, primarily for companies. Any of the companies on this page can adopt the standard and override the data on the website. So the point is, it's not static.

Sure, at the moment all this data is coming from one DNS zone (num.net) but that's only a failover query location, first we query e.g. barclays.co.uk for this data, so Barclays can override (or remove) this data if they want to.

They wont be paid if he doesn't sell before 60. This will be completely untaxed. Thats the IRA abuse: its meant to be used tax deferred as a retirement scheme for a certain amount (6k a year) not for billions.

But because of its mechanics you would like to put your wildest shots into IRA's (say, option trading) because it has the highest expected value in case it goes up.

In the spirit of the program, there would be a cap to how much money will be shielded from capital gains tax.

Can you have a namespace with the same name as a local variable? If not, then they could have used `/`. Of course then you cannot know what an expression means without executing the program, but I'd assume they already have a few cases in there (with variable variables and so on; it's bin a while since I've used PHP productively).

It would also have been possible to just reuse `->`, then namespaces look a lot like static objects. Or the double colon `::` which was already used in some contexts.
Ask HN: Is turnover of staff actually considered a problem?
It is well known that the best way to get a raise in software is to switch jobs. It is well known that the market is hot. It is well known that tech tenures keep falling.

So why is nothing done about it? Why does the best way to get a raise remain switching?

All I can conclude from the lack of corporate action on turnover is that we are pretty interchangeable and domain knowledge and codebase knowledge aren't considered to be worth anything.

Corporate complains about knowledge loss, delays getting people started on the codebase, the cost of paying recruiters, etc, but their actions price all of that at $0.
I'm pretty sure this was a sarcastic comment
I was going to say...

Op has a Pocahontas imagination of what most indigenous are like.

Most are like everyone else and want to live life, party, hang out with friends. Reserves have kfc and grocery stores. Some hunt but if you’re a white guy in northern / rural Canada you probably hunt.

What a weird take. Always a laugh to hear what the city liberal thinks of the world. So out of touch and delusional, but so confident.

It’d be like saying African Americans want to hunt wild game.

I don’t think the fact that you can be trained to differentiate a color means you were actively responding to that differentiation prior to being incentivized & systematically exposed to the difference.

Not arguing with your overall point, but that experiment is a weak supporting argument. (Although a strong test for what nuances we can learn to perceive quickly.)

I ended up taking the pandemic off from my graduate classes. I am funding out of pocket (a local university so about $6,000 per year on a dev salary). I was given the option to get a GA-ship but at 11k a year I figured as long as the night classes don't go away I'd rather work.

I did this because they were upcharging for cleaning, upcharging for "tele-classes", and importantly STILL charging me for property on campus I was barred from using (University, Gym, etc). Worse yet the remaining courses at the beginning of the pandemic were terrible. Once the "cleaning policies" came into effect students were elected from each class, each day to clean the room before and after the class. So effectively we were paying them for the privilege of cleaning desks/boards/markers/etc for free. Something that takes up to 20m in the auditoriums.

Absolutely disgraceful of universities to do these things.
As incredible as it looks this feat has been demonstrated since a few years ago.
Encrypt locally before cloud?
Like?

Just because it is bytecode it doesn't mean it is interpreted.

> Unlike some other virtual-machine architectures in which the virtual instructions are interpreted at run time, TIMI instructions are never interpreted. They constitute an intermediate compile time step and are translated into the processor's instruction set as the final compilation step. The TIMI instructions are stored within the final program object, in addition to the executable machine instructions. This is how application objects compiled on one processor family (e.g., the original CISC AS/400 48-bit processors) could be moved to a new processor (e.g., PowerPC 64-bit) without re-compilation. An application saved from the older 48-bit platform can simply be restored onto the new 64-bit platform where the operating system discards the old machine instructions and re-translates the TIMI instructions into 64-bit instructions for the new processor.

Do you have some hints on where to look to see a good implementation of a text rendering engine implementing those features? (Browsers? which?)
I mean, it might make sense on the backend. After all, decentralized, highly scalable, key-value store is what DNS fundamentally is, and it has a long history of working well for that use case.

I just kind of assumed, the thing that's supposed to be cool here is using it in the web browser as a data storage backend for your entirely client-side app (since using dns simply as a key value store isn't particularly unique). And i don't think that usecase makes sense, since its all routed through a centralized https api translation layer anyways.

> us to offer data free, unrestricted and unlimited forever

Say what now? None of this is free. Half the bill is being footed by cloudflare, the other half by the domain owner. Using an api provided by someone else is not the same as offering something for free. You're not the party doing the offering.

yes, this is true. In 2D/3D, sorting into regular space partitions of exponentially decreasing size (e.g. KD-trees) is far more effective - roughly log(N) vs N^rho (rho < 1). In high dimensions, the simple partitioning strategy runs up against the "curse of dimensionality" which is where LSH starts to work better.
For the indie dev scene it would be more useful one that generates pixel art which is more common. Indie games rarely have realistic scenarios.
Taxes drive a lot of investment strategies. A large number of strategies to increase returns are things like tax loss harvesting, because every sale forces a taxable event that is going to reduce your total capital base. Not being taxed obviates all of that and opens up a number of opportunities.

> it looks like Semantic Web is not dead but actually accelerating growth

IMO the general-purpose semantic web (not that used in academia) is only useful for huge companies like Google, with the engineering capacity to understand all the different types of data that might be found.

At times, it seems it's almost complex by design to keep smaller developers from being able to consume the data and build anything useful on top of it.

> So you would you need the smb web dev platforms to support NUM to make it a reality?

That would be cool but it's not required for NUM to be broadly adopted. We provide a tool, NUM Server [0], where you can publish and manage data using simple online forms after proving authority for your domain name.

The best angle for us on this point, is actually through domain name registrars that offer add-ons to domain name registration and through agencies (web design, social, etc).
