Joiner's Model seems to exclude people who are candidates for assisted suicide. They often don't feel alone, don't feel like a burden, but are terminally ill, in constant pain, feel they've lived long enough, seeing significant mental/physical decline etc. You can shoehorn them into "IS PATH WARM" under hopelessness, trapped, or anger I guess.

I agree with your point on the number being a pain in the ass when it comes to authentication and yes an email is quite handy to remember, however these two aspects are often at odds.
The outdated and often heavily regulated telephone system works as a sort of ambiguous verified identity whereas an email wouldn't function like this.
The ease with which you create an email address means it's more difficult to verify you are a legitimate person.
Whilst there are spam calls, the vast majority of emails are spam (>80% or something). Can you imagine if 80% of your calls were spam?
Book vs Blog is an arbitrary distinction. There are low quality books and extremely high quality blogs, and they both target different readers (blog often serves as an introduction to a subject).

What's funny in tech is corporate cargo culting. You'll see it quite often. Things like "we're a tech company" but there's no distinction between Software Engineering and IT. Or they still see both as a cost center.

Even better, "we're like Google" except they give you a blank stare where you ask about the 20% time, free food, compensation or where they hire from. Turns out it's all bootcamp/local wages no stock, no 20% time. But hey, they have beanbag chairs!

Not really. The article cites wild speculation made by the study authors:

"The large-scale conversion of housing units into short-term rentals undermines a neighborhood’s social organization, and in turn its natural ability...to counteract and discourage crime,"

and the research reeks of p-hacking and non-reproducibility:

Spain:

>"It encourages the concentration of tourists who, due to their characteristics, are suitable targets for victimisation," Maldonado-Guzmán said.

but in Boston:

> The researchers found that there was a positive correlation between higher penetration of Airbnb properties in an area – for example buildings containing multiple Airbnb lets – and a rise in violence. However, crime types associated with rowdy visitors, like drunkenness and noise complaints, as well as private conflicts, did not increase.

> "It's not the number of Airbnb tourists who stay in a neighborhood that causes an increase in criminal activities," said Professor Babak Heydari from Northeastern University.
It’s in a very precise midpoint between Notepad and an IDE that preciously few other text editors stand in.
They specifically point out the increase in crime is not from the Airbnb tourists.

Instead of trying to solve that unsolvable "problem", we should be focusing on the "real problems" that actually ARE solvable, like excessive and unwarranted (literally) police force.
We take way less vacation and have far more financial uncertainty and more bills (more complexity and more to keep track of just to get by), so our background level of stress is probably higher on average than in, say, most Western European states.

There may be other reasons that affect it more, but I'd fully expect that to be enough to result in more self-medication, all else being equal.
SMS 2FA always makes an attack harder than no 2FA at all because an attacker needs to also intercept your SMS messages in addition to getting your password instead of just getting your password. Given that getting your password is required for both attacks, the addition of needing to intercept your SMS messages is an additional hurdle. It's just potentially not as good as physical token 2FA where the additional requirement is physically finding you and beating you up. I think you must be confusing SMS 2FA with an SMS 1FA override, which is not the same.
The police received a distress call about an armed assailant. There isn't anything disproportionate about sending multiple cars to respond to an event like that. Moreover, the victim of this attack was in fact armed, which certainly had something to do with how seriously the police took the event.

The simple fact is that the person who made this fake distress call intended to cause mayhem, predictably succeeded, and that mayhem killed someone. People who call in fake SWAT calls are culpable for homicide.

I enjoyed your article.
For me when exploring K8s vs Nomad, Nomad looked like a clear choice. That was until I had to get Nomad + Consul running. I found it all really difficult to get running in a satisfactory manner. I never even touched the whole Vault part of the setup because it was all overwhelming.

On the other side K8s was a steep learning curve with lots of options and 'terms' to learn but never was a point into the whole exploration where I was stuck. The docs are great. the community is great and the number of examples available allows us to mix n match lots of different approaches.

Is there an argument you can make that would be persuasive to ordinary people who believe that the police should be a public resource, as they are today, and that ordinary citizens shouldn't have to employ private security forces in order to resolve distress calls?

> When Google demands an E.164 number, they're not demanding it despite the fact that E.164 is a somewhat closed, opaque network, but because of it. Basically everything bad about the E.164 namespace and its constituent organizations is precisely what makes it attractive to organizations for use cases like these.

That is kind of the point isn't it. Despite all its shortcomings it's a useful identifier because of its scarcity.

Btw, the domain name system and x.509 would not work either without scarcity and trust delegation.

In fact if I remember correctly some newly re-imagined digital 'networks' like Urbit also opted for scarce identifiers, because they work out better economically.

Again, not vouching for the study as a whole - and agreed that scientists can get a bit "creative" when trying to actually describe and motivate causal mechanisms (in their defense, a very hard problem).

But I'm just talking about the statistics here, and specifically that saying "correlation is not causation" is a bit overused. Researchers know about it too, those four words don't magically dismiss all statistical studies. Most modern statistical approaches are explicitly built to try and help address these sorts of concerns.

There could well be other flaws with their statistics, and even if there is causation they could be failing at theoretically motivating or connecting it to their overall narrative. But it takes more than four words to make that case.

EDIT - just acknowledging that you've since edited your comment to add concerns about p-hacking and reproducibility. And that may be the case - but it wasn't what I was responding to in my initial comment.

It's pretty wild to think Belgium/Netherlands/France were connected to Great Britain via a huge swath of land. This means all the cultures intermixed for many generations moving back and forth. It's no wonder we have Stonehenge and all of the ancient cultures in Britain if there was an actual land-bridge to that area!

I wonder if places like Ireland or more of the Scandanavian Islands would've been accessible as well? This doesn't even account for all the other places in the globe that humans may have moved around differently, like in China or India there may be other ancient differences too.

I did not know until now that the other 20% could be reclaimed by the donor as well, if they paid 40% tax.

If the donor donates that amount as well and we loop infinitely, the final amount received by the charity would be exactly 1.5625x the originally-donated amount (assuming that the HMRC allows arbitrary small fractions of a penny to be claimed).

Explanation: if you donate an amount x, the final amount would be the infinite series x + sigma(0.25*0.2^(k-1) + 0.2^k, k=1, k=inf), which is the sum of two separate geometric series, so for each one, we can use the formula a/(1-r), where 'a' is the first term (0.25 for the first series, 0.2 for the second) and 'r' is the ratio between each term (0.2 in both cases).
Lenovo bought IBM's PC business for $1.75 billion in 2004, or about $2.51 billion adjusted for inflation. Lenovo's PC and smart device sales hit a record 12.4 billion in its FY2020, mostly due to Windows-based PCs. I would argue that had IBM ceded software to Microsoft, and had it focused on hardware and PowerPC chip compatibility, the company could have greatly improved on the 20% margins that were the impetus for selling its PC business to Lenovo.
The trouble is there appear to be many services purporting to provide SMS "2FA" which make the bizarre assumption that SMS is more secure than email and allow you to recover access to your account purely via access to that phone number. For these services adding a phone number may indeed actually reduce account security.

There have been real incidents, including in the last few years, of high-value accounts of people being successfully hijacked via the hijacking of their phone numbers.
The article mentions it does show up on radar. But it also depends on the altitude it's flying at.

The friendly European airforce must have been sleeping because the article never mentions any attempted investigations or interceptions by the same. I imagine just like the US in 9-11, they'd be caught with their pants down if terrorists actually tried to use a fleet of these things.
> If you take the limit of concentrating wealth, you get a dictatorship.

Except that's never happened, not even close. Ironically, the modern activists are busy trying to force businesses into getting involved in politics unrelated to their business. This smacks of foolishness to me, as in be careful what one wishes for.

> It's hard to believe in democracy and insane wealth concentration at the same time.

Wealth in a capitalist country is created, not concentrated.
What is "netto"?
I think it makes sense in a limited way. Government can do a lot but struggles to make big bets and see them through in the way a single minded billionaire could. Maybe government could solve this is providing some bigger chunks of no strings attached funding under the direction of a single person.

Hi. I recommend you get comfortable studio monitors. I have Sony WH-1000M3s, and after 4 hours they hurt my ears due to the pressure. However, my "cheaper" over ear studio monitors have far lower pressure. In fact, many studio monitors specify how many newtons of force they apply the the ears.

> The context is: “Nepalese student learns HTML, JavaScript, CSS using just a mobile phone.”

It's not. You are ignoring the place in the thread where the comment appears.

No one has argued that learning TI Basic is more worthwhile than learning HTML, JS, and CSS (or Python) on a mobile phone. No one has argued for advising someone that they should be "getting a job if you only know how to program a TI-84". The claim is strictly that going from 0 to hello world is easier on a calculator than it is on an iPhone.

> made up a context in which it makes sense out of whole cloth

Wrong, and posting another comment trying to argue your uncharitable take won't make it correct or reasonable. Go pick a fight and declare that the pushback you encounter is "bullshit" somewhere else. This is stupid.

Maybe but that's a problem with those services, not a problem with SMS. If they cared about security they also wouldn't allow password recovery by email, because history has proven that email is also not inherently secure. Peoples' email accounts get hacked literally all the time.

Every single practical problem that your post ascribes to SMS also applies to email. Approaching 100% of all email addresses in the world are not permanently attached to individual people and are entirely subject to the whims of entities like Google.

Why do you need to pump the equivalent of the CO river uphill? Do high elevation states need that much water? Could you not pump the water to CA instead(a net energy wash, minus transportation losses(friction, turbulence?))?

Why would you need to pump out the equivalent of the CO river from the Great Lakes Basin?

Why would you need to pump out the equivalent of the CO river from the Mississippi river mouth?

I'm trying to sort through your straw men here. Maybe you can help me out. Why is the annual flow of the CO river an important number to you? Why does a single source of water need to make up for our current shortfall?
I agree. I didn’t realize before we made the stop that there were still people living there. It felt gross for all the reasons you describe, plus the Salton air.
Hmm... I didn't work on large scale refactors but (IIRC - it's been a few years) I definitely had to approve commits that were touching components I had ownership over & that was part of the same commit as many other changes batched. Given that I recall a wiki describing what your responsibility was as the downstream user of the API in these scenarios, it seemed like a common thing to me & I recall there were also automated tools to help do this.

Whether or not that's the most common workflow is another story. Works great at the C++/Java API layer or trivial reorganizations, may not work as well when modifying runtime behavior since you have to do the 3 phase commit anyway.

Large investments are not the same as risky investments.
I'm not sure I follow. Domain names are not meaningfully "scarce", unless you mean in the sense that you pay for them. But even then domain names are not "scarce" because one domain can support an effectively unlimited number of subdomains, and free providers of subdomains exist.

I think the culture is extremely relevant. If you look at this map on the right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide You'll see China is a significant outlier, being the only country with a higher suicide rate for women than men. All of the western nations have rates between 3.5 and 4 as many men commit suicide as women, a shockingly high difference.
Sure, of course we do. That's what we found when we were finally able to translate old Babylonian tablets. We thought they might be works of literature or important stories. They were basically all contractual agreements and receipts. As a result, we may have to conclude that written language was probably created for business, not for art.
These are great points but I don't see them as conflicting with the analogy. The suffering DFW refers to that drives someone to suicide is something felt in the moment. He contrasts the impulsive decision to die with deciding the same based on some balance sheet of suffering.

> Of 515 people prevented by police from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971, by the end of the 70s only 6% of them had committed suicide by other means.

Perhaps much of that is because they got the help they needed following the incident. It probably also helps that they were a group made up of those who were able to be persuaded by police to not jump in the first place already showing at least some willingness to keep living.
Is that an inherent feature of a national electrical grid or the way we've let ours decay? Failing to stockpile backup equipment which must be sourced from competing nations is not an inherent feature of the grid. Same with insecure control systems.

The burden of proof is upon you, the person made the original claim. As you are unwilling or unable to provide such then the only reasonable conclusion to make is that your claim is false.
We have door locks and passwords because you cannot blindly trust people. My bank asks for ID when opening an account because (in addition to KYC) it's not just going to trust me, a random customer. When I get pulled over, the cops ask for my license--they aren't just going to accept "I have a license. Trust me, bro". Imagine if everything worked on the honor system! Society would fall apart within hours. Trust-by-default just makes you vulnerable to being exploited by bad actors.

It's pretty scary that an unauthenticated, anonymous phone call from an unknown location is enough to cause an armed police response. Do a little investigation first to try to corroborate the claim before treating it seriously!

This is a defect with the email service provider or user's security practices, not the email system. A well-run email system provides far greater security than SMS.

"Approaching 100%" is not "the email system". This is not a systemic issue with the design of the system itself and the system remains open. Personally I run my own email, yet it is not practically feasible for me to "run" my own telephone number in the same sense.
