The purpose of most 2FA schemes is not to secure things, but to get a unique identifier of the user.

The 2FA craze is overblown, for most applications a random password with length 16 would be completely fine. Of course, since cloud providers constantly have security holes and leak databases, perhaps 2FA is for covering up their bad practices, too.
First off, we totally agree on this: "true product Quality is dependent upon an endemic cultural philosophy of an organization."

What we're asking you to consider is how much of that is because the tooling is shutting out the roles who are naturally incentivized to care about product quality?

I think your broader thesis, while amusing, is ignoring some of the biggest and most valuable brands ever created... Apple, Rolex, Mercedes...
Ah, yes, I think I heard of these microcells. That is indeed exciting, as my house gets no reception, it would be great to deploy a cell in the area and have reception again.

This is your ideological, moral perspective, which is frankly kind of a distortion of the historical reality of those aspirations.

But the 'American identity' is something more objective, i.e. what Americans and others thought of themselves over time. Obviously we can debate a lot about how to interpret reality and history, the point being 'what it is' is a matter of record, not a matter of 'what you think it ought to be'.

No doubt that 'classical liberal' ethos (as you hint at) is part of it, and that the US is quite different than other countries in that way ... but in the end I think culture, language, customs and institutions are the primary artifacts of everything, just as in other places.

If you were to take the 'classical liberal ethos' and overlay it into a different colonialist situation, with a different cultural foundation - that nation would look completely different.

Not just that, but even due to politics, someone wanting their history "changed", or even worse reasons.

There were multiple reddit arguments recently, when someone posts a newsstory about something, discussion starts, two hours later the story is changed (without any footnote or old version available), and arguments start, because "there is noting in the article that says <what you said>", and no way for the original poster to prove, that it was, because noone even thought they'd need a screenshot.

It's OK to use emoji's for people you know well, just like it's OK to use inside jokes with them.

The problem starts when you are communicating with people outside your cultural circle. There is no dictionary for emojis.

For example, take the unicode symbol U+1F346 AUBERGINE. My native language contains a lot of french words so I know immediately what it means. For many English speakers that must be translated to egg plant, and even then there will be some people (especially nonnative speakers) who have never seen one. It seems just a harmless emoji for some vegetable, but that is not how it is frequently used.
> What does the user end up downloading: an apk, or an aab?

Your phone still downloads APKs from the Play Store, but it's no longer a single monolithic APK that covers all languages/screen sizes/CPU architectures [1] supported by that app. Instead you'll get a collection of APKs covering your specfic device configuration only.

> If it's an aab, can they archive it for later, like you can with apks?

You can archive the individual APKs, although installing them again is a bit more complicated, as you either need a third-party app like https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aefyr.sai.fdroid/, or else install them via the correct incantation on the command line.

As for APK archive sites, presumably coverage of languages/screen sizes/CPU architectures with few users might get worse, as one user uploading an individual APK version will no longer be enough to automatically cover all languages/screen dimensions/etc. and instead you need to grab separate APKs for each possible language/screen size etc.

Getting the APK with the correct CPU architecture (where applicable) will of course be critical, although in practice almost everybody is probably using ARM these days, so there's not much to go wrong here (although if you still have a 32-bit device then you can only run the 32-bit APK, whereas the other way round a 64-bit device can run both 32- and 64-bit native code).

As for language and screen density, my guess would be that Android can fall back to whatever language and screen density APK actually has been installed (since this should be the same situation as when a monolithic APK doesn't contain the correct resources for your preferred language/screen density), so you might get a degraded experience (wrong language, either blurry or unnecessarily-high-resolution graphics), but the app at least still runs.

[1] Although given the potentially large size of native libraries, separate APK versions for differing CPU architectures already aren't that uncommon.
I really like the beers from the Athletic Brewing Company (https://athleticbrewing.com/). Aside from being slightly less carbonated than alcoholic beer, it's hard to tell the difference between them. And more importantly: everything I've tried from them tastes good.
Nowhere do we say that the entire product organization - devs, designers, PMs - should not care about quality. It's a question of ownership and focus.
Sure it is. That's a major component - you can perform joins (edge traversals) across backend APIs.
Transcending locality: the rise of nomadism and decentralized communities

It's not 'recent' and it's not a 'myth' - but it should be pointed out that it's only a small part of the measure of 'identity'.
I disagree. Strongly. The (our) most precious resource is time. Our time is finite, and thus constrains agency.

Like money, agency is (to a degree) within our reach. It can come and it can go. Time on the other hand, simply runs out. Time can be be taken, it can be given, and it can be squandered. It can never be returned (overtime today repaid by a vacation tomorrow is still time lost today).

If you're salaried you know exactly how much you're selling your time for. Real wealth is when ALL your time is yours to do with as you please. Agency therefore is simply one means to that end.
The taxes might not.

But the education and healthcare costs might.

Also, you're much more likely to be shot or put into prison in the US, which are quite some costs too.

I don't know the numbers, but it seems to me that despite being payed better, the average US citizen carries a much bigger risk to their life than the average EU citizen, even when you include the east of the EU.
A2 is one of the two most common variants of β-casein, the dominant type of protein in cow's milk (A1 is the other most common variant and they're named in the order in which they were identified). A2 has nothing to do with lactose, which is a sugar, not a protein.

So "A2 milk" is milk with a smaller amount of A2 β-casein than normal and it should make no difference to people who cannot digest lactose.

Be aware also that the health claims surrounding "A2 milk" are bunkum, much like the claims about "Real Water" [1] etc "health foods".

From wikipedia:

> The a2 Milk Company claims that milk containing A1 proteins is harmful, and some companies producing goat's milk products make similar claims,[5] but a 2009 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) review found that it could not be established that bioactive peptides in milk containing both the A1 and A2 proteins have an adverse effect on health.

Ask HN: How is the job market in Seattle for junior devs?
Hi,

I am a self-taught dev trying to transition from chemical engineering (O&G). I am hoping to get my first dev job in Seattle, as I love the city and have a lot of friends there. Just wondering what the market is looking like right now.

Would appreciate links to resources / advice as well!
I think the reason was mostly AMP.

Hiding/obscuring details from the URL bar seems like much less of a big deal if the goal is to rehost someone else's content. The value statement of the URL goes down a lot in that case, and the push to drive users away from it starts to make sense.

Either which way, I still hate it - The only non-work related ticket I've put in for chromium was a request for an option to disable this behavior entirely.

It's bad form from folks who should know better.
We literally just had to keep our kid home from a week because a daycare worker who chose not to get vaccinated got covid and then came to work at the daycare. She was asymptomatic and went on to infect her whole family. It's not just about personal choice.

Vaccinations are rolling out but little kids still can't get them. Why would I want to rush back to "normal" when I know so many young people who can't get vaccinated?

I do too, but what I miss is customized throttling settings (I need to optimize for fast overseas connections: high bandwidth but also high latency). Chrome (and Edge) have this.
One thing could be to define layered standards for various use cases.

Like the archiving standard for PDF. Perhaps a formalized version of “graceful degradation” if you will with a known set of target.

One target could be a self contained, script-less, bundle f.ex.

5.1.3.3 Authentication using the Public Switched Telephone Network
Use of the PSTN for out-of-band verification is RESTRICTED as described in this section and in Section 5.2.10. If out-of-band verification is to be made using the PSTN, the verifier SHALL verify that the pre-registered telephone number being used is associated with a specific physical device. Changing the pre-registered telephone number is considered to be the binding of a new authenticator and SHALL only occur as described in Section 6.1.2.

Verifiers SHOULD consider risk indicators such as device swap, SIM change, number porting, or other abnormal behavior before using the PSTN to deliver an out-of-band authentication secret.

I feel like graph languages can be so esoteric. It would be nice to have something closer to RDF, but with filter syntax, and the ability to group filters.

I've never built a language, so maybe I'm just crazy, but what's wrong with, say,

https://gist.github.com/insanitybit/cd997e8d367889708edc3ec2...

Basically I defined the subject in a sort of 'namespace' of constraints ("parent", "children", etc), and then the edge or predicate constraint on it.

I guess it's easy to just "make up" a language, and implementing is the difficult part, and then it's like "ok well then how do you solve <some unanticipated problem because idk what I'm even talking about>" but also, graphql, as much as it isn't good for a database API, is also quite straightforward and familiar looking and I feel like taking something like rdf as a basis would be reasonable.

So the author probably agrees with you that a calculator doesn’t need a database.
What I hate about youtube the most is their deleting of videos AND metadata... I make a "watch later" playlist, with stuff that i must watch, two weeks go by, and there is a "[Deleted video]" in my playlist... not even a title left behind (so i'll be able to find it elsewhere).
I am glad that the author calls out Smart America, or what others call the professional/managerial class, for having the same fundamental ideology as Free America. Smart America is the subset of Free America that is smart enough to recognize that persistent inequality reveals flaws in liberal meritocracy, and they are working to fix it because they love meritocracy.

However, I think creating a category of Just America is a cop-out, because virtually all of Smart America thinks of themselves that way. They recognize that judging people around them in meritocratic terms is unjust, and they're working on fixing that. The overlap is huge, as the interviewer pointed out. I don't think it's a useful distinction. I think it would be more useful to draw an ideological line between Smart America, aka liberals who aren't idiots, and people who think liberalism is the problem and can't be saved, who are keen to disprove the end of history.
Sorry for that - it must be frustrating.

Perhaps it would help to have an ORCID for yourself - you could also link to that from your page. Many publishers and universities are beginning to automatically ingest ORCID data, so it's a good investment.

The aim is also to increase capacity because of the ever increasing number of mobile devices. Increasing capacity means increasing the number of devices that may connect to a single base station (aka "tower") at any given time.

This was true when moving from 3G to 4G, and this is also true when moving from 4G to 5G, though with 5G there is an emphasis on a very large number of devices with relatively low data rates (in order to accommodate IOT scenarios).

These kinds of patents really prove that we need to boost the budget for the USPTO since they're always having things like this slip through despite the prior art out there. It's much like the FTC in this situation where Congress knows that if the FTC is well funded then nonsense that businesses do won't get by so easily so they starve the beast just enough to keep it ineffective. I swear it's the same kind of setup for the patent office.

Ask HN: How do you deal with mediocrity?
I was reading the comments of this HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27695181) and many were talking about how they have come to realize that they won’t be great, or remembered after their death. How can one do the same? Some have come to realize that the only thing which matters is their family, hobbies, or religion; but how do we get to that point?
Both of you have fair points.

Mostly the lock in is money. They just pay higher rates, with stock incentives to keep you around longer. After awhile you realize the 'free lunch' and other things are nice but not really needed, especially if you are working from home. Where you realize those perks can be bought cheap enough.

Also at some point you may get to the point where 'I am pretty good on money and just want more challenging work'. That only goes so far too.

But yes companies could up their WFH perks. However, if I am reading the tea leaves right it looks like WFH may become be a perk that is part of a package. Not the perk. Something along the lines of 'every other friday' or 'be in office at least 2 days a week' something like that. I could see that only lasting so long too unless the upper management pushes it. Get a few over zealous ladder climbers and suddenly 'we need to skip WFH this friday we need to ship this ASAP' few months of that and it just doesnt happen anymore.

But remember companies could also go the other way, and go bring your own device style of work. Meaning you pick up all the costs. I could also see 'oh you live in city XYZ well the pay rate there is 50% less than all the other sites'.

Having worked at a few places in my career. Each one has for a lack of a better word 'style'. But at home that 'style' would not be as noticeable. Part of working at a place is that. You walk into a google building you know it is that. You walk into a bank and you know it is that. Just something about how everything is setup and run has a particular feel. I have bounced out of interviews just by walking the office (you could just see the dread and deathmarches they were on). I could see 'oh you say you buy top of the line computers but in reality all of your kit is 10 years old'. But at home, I am not going to get that. One company would be fairly similar in feel to another. Just me speaking personally if companies all look the same basically what ties me to one or another other than maybe some 'perks'?

off-topic but the author's negative sentiments toward c++ is interesting to me as it is quite opposite with me.

I use c++ mainly but when I have to use javascript at work, i really hate it for whatever reason. wonder if other c++ programmers feel the similar way.
I generally agree that patent trolls are just particularly good at highlighting general problems with the patent system itself.

However, one real difference is that it seems large companies aren't particularly looking to enforce patents like this one. If this patent were in the hands of IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, etc, would they actually be suing competitors (the ones that hadn't signed on to a non-aggression agreement), or would they consider it junk for purely defensive purposes?

Given that small businesses generally aren't receiving such shakedown letters from large corporations, I'm guessing the latter. Large companies have determined that it's not in their best interest to pursue such action. While for small non-practicing entities a few junk patents are all they have, and so they might as well try fooling some people.
This works for major sites like BBC. For minor, local news sites, it doesn't because they don't get archived at all (atleast not fully and in time).

You can't consciously decide to believe arbitrary things.

But most of our beliefs are decided by unconscious processes that decide having a certain belief would be good for us. Another part comes up with a good sounding justification that we can tell ourselves and others.

This is known as Motivated Reasoning, and is far more common than we want to believe.
