I've always had trouble conceptually with two factor authentication conceived of in this way. If a phone is something you have, then it gives you a code, and you put in that code, so it's really just a code.

If it's something you have, well, probably a key right? A usb key? But it's a code on the USB key.

If it's something about you (voice, fingerprint, etc), or a location, it's ultimately something represented as information.

That's not to say it's a bad philosophy or less secure. It's better, not worse. But it seems to be conceived of and framed in a way as though it's appealing to something other than stuff that gets turned into computer-accessible information.

The one "hard" category that seems to make sense to me has to do with hard-wired networks, and having to be in a physical place to access a system that is not online. That creates a real distinction that doesn't boil down to some form of computer-comprehensible information.
Ok? what is your point? Are they physically and mentally capable of achieving that? How much do they desire that goal? Are they willing to sacrifice other things in their life for that? Its not like FAANG employees are picked out of a hat

Trying to engineer your app to work offline causes complexity in the design and implementation for a issue that might never be an issue for most customers.

Assuming your app is pretty crippled when it can't access the cloud.

What's next making your app still work if there is no display by screen reading?
"Better" is debatable. If you've ever actually wired money to scammer, you'd know that the banking system isn't one giant kumbaya circle run on gentlemen's agreements to Do The Right Thing, and you were rolling your eyes through the whole thread[1].

At most, it works like that for anyone rich or working on behalf of a big firm, which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. And don't you worry, cryptocurrencies are just as capable of reversing transactions of those with the real power! [2]

PouchDB works well as the primary client store and can sync to CouchDB in the cloud. IMHO this is one of the more mature combinations that gives you a ready client side document database that takes care of data replication for you.
Networked collaborative app doesn't need to mean runs in a browser. A git repo fits that description, even a true distributed VCS with no server where every editor has their own copy and no single copy is authoritative. Each user chooses which changes to merge into their personal copies. The native versions of Microsoft Office when backed by Sharepoint also operates that way, allowing users to check out individual copies and edit them in a native editor, although in that case Microsoft is clearly trying to push people into editing directly in the browser.

A lot of these problems go away if you don't run in a browser, because user inherently trust software more when they're running a copy that can't change from underneath them on a second-by-second basis. I'm a lot more willing to give filesystem access to an application I have to explicitly install and that remains what I installed until I knowingly and intentionally upgrade it, as opposed to code pulled continuously from the network as I am working.
Bitcoin > Terrorist Tokens
I was referring more to NFTs than cryptocurrencies. They went from nothing to huge too quickly. NTFs are closer to Beanie Babies, Bitcoin to baseball cards. The big gotcha with NTFs, and why they're worse than Beanies, is they're incredibly hard to price because they're non-fungible, and unlike art (also non-fungible), it's not clear which tokens are desirable or why.
MS Employee here, and, on a personal level, I'm absolutely feeling a lack of creativity.

Although, I'm not sure it's due to the lack of hallway/water-cooler conversations. I personally feel that I have less time to unconsciously process my problem space (specifically during my transit commute).
Ursa Major Tech | Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Lafayette, CO | Full-time

TL;DR: rocket engines + you

Ursa Major Technologies was founded to bring a new model to space access: one in which every link in an enormous value chain isn’t limited by those around it. We design rocket engines and propulsion solutions.

Ursa is made up of some of the best rocket propulsion engineers in the industry. As we move into stages of more advanced R&D and production, we're outgrowing some of the early tools and processes we had in place.

The Advanced Programs - Software group is being formed to solve these challenges. Think high-throughput data backend to move streaming sensor data from the test stands, and rich data exploration frontends. Current population: 1, so you get to wear many hats and help choose our stack.

Currently looking for a generalist with strong frontend/UI experience.

Yes, SPARK has a Rust-like borrow checker that doesn't allow implementing arbitrary pointer graphs. You have to use 'unsafe Rust' to implement linked list containers which, once implemented, other parts of the codebase can then consume in 'safe Rust'. Seems to be the same deal with SPARK ('safe Ada') vs vanilla Ada ('unsafe Ada').
Sure, but software engineers are at the top. There is no career where the reverse of your example is true.

> This was a case where the bond holders did have some claim to the money, but it was clearly an error.

You refer to recent events, and I don't know how recent, so maybe I missed something; but my understanding was that the finding was that it was reasonable for Revlon to believe when they received the fund that it was a legitimate payment, not just an error. Of course in retrospect (e.g., when Citigroup calls and says so!) it is clear that it was an error, but the legal argument, whether or not you buy its truth, was that it was not clear at the time. I think that this sort of finding in which both grown-up financiers decide not to be chummy about misplaced funds, and the law sides with them in not requiring them to do so, is comparatively rare.
> This is a pretty gross generalization of an entire country filled with diverse people, a significant number of whom do not match this description at all, now or before social media.

It's a generalization that probably has legs, though. IIRC, surveys show US culture is uniquely extreme in some areas (e.g. most individualistic in the world). Exceptions don't disprove a broad outline.

Agreed -- I already subscribe to the Prepared and can vouch for their readers' acute interests in manufacturing technology.
Amen. Translation's such a great example. I got some ingredients at a local market recently and used the google image translate function on it. I'm sure the translation was way off, and parts were entirely nonsensical, but it was enough for me to infer what the directions were. Tons of value in imperfect translation.
I upvoted because I agree with the general sentiment, but I can't find the specific example you're talking about. Have you got a link for context?

> If people are leaping to "I know it wasn't us" then that's their own misinterpretation.

Is that not what we just watched a HN reader do with that analogy?

It would be equally accurate to say "We have no evidence that it wasn't our fault," either statement is equally meaningless when they have no significant evidence.

They chose to phrase their ignorance the only way that it could be misinterpreted as mitigating their liability, and we just watched that misinterpretation play out here.

"We haven't found any evidence of who was at fault" would be more forthright than answering only the half of that question that sounds better for them.

If this sounds exciting, email me (Isabella, cofounder) at isabella@tangram.dev.
I'd guess it's less dramatic than your hypothetical still:

They need new faces and the most obvious source of them en masse is people who aren't welcome on other cloud platforms. That means cryptocurrency people, who have been effectively outcast from the rest of the internet's premium tier hosting providers, because when they were allowed on the rest of the internet's premium tier hosting providers they tried to steal shit while they were in there.
Two factor with a code device (totp, rsa token, sms, etc) isn't effective for phishing, but it is effective against non-interactive attacks like cracking password files or brute force or password reuse.

Something like webauthn that ties the token to the usage context and so addresses phishing (until the host security is broken) and also addresses non-interactive attacks is clearly better from that perspective, but it's not as easy to setup two of those as it is to setup TOTP on two devices at the same time or be able to put your SIM in another phone or get a new SIM (this is, or course, a negative if someone else gets a new SIM for your number). And then there's the extra cost (until/unless it's more integrated into devices people already have)
Several ways, I think.

1) As an editor it’s novel for his high performance across so many platforms.

2) As a plug-in platform with a simple marketplace it’s the first time I’ve seen this work well across many types of dev groups. “Easy enough” for html designers, and data scientists as well as traditional programmers. Plug-ins exist for other tools, but not as easily put together as this.

3) The release schedule is so rapid. At least monthly releases with new features with lots of community ideas realized.

4) Within Microsoft’s culture it turns the decades old visual studio model (good performance but locked into Windows and costly) on its head. So this is really new for Microsoft. (Even though I think it would be innovative from any company, but there aren’t any other companies I know that make money from developers so don’t actually need to charge for dev tools).
So you've given up drinking. What now?
This. It's not entirely clear that remote working is at all more "worker-friendly." Flexibility has increased, mostly, but so has overwork and mental health issues.
Oh some of your stuff is quite nice! If there were still maze pieces for ~3 tez I'd pick one up.

I've really been enjoying the community around hic et nunc. Hopefully if the site collapses the community will mostly stay around, it's been such a breath of fresh air compared to most of the NFT activity on ETH.
Experts fall for phishing because many businesses, including and especially financial institutions (PayPal and eBay are easily some of the worst offenders here), make it essentially impossible to tell phishing from their "legit" mails.
The FDIC is a government agency created after bank runs were common during the Depression. This is much different, nothing has been "reinvented".
Graeber's book Debt: The First 5000 Years documents that cycles of debt crisis and subsequent forgiveness is historically normal. And probably necessary. I mean, think about it: What other remedies do we have to winner-takes-all? Progressive taxation? Government largess?

Made me rethink all the bailouts, etc. Especially with the renewed scholarship on Keynesian 2.0 (MMT).

I'd probably be ok with bailouts, jubilees if they were more fair, more bottom up.

Financiers gobbling up all the cheddar, abandoning all their victim's, really pisses me off.

Insult to injury is lack of consequences, acting aggrieved when their malfeasance is examined. Just one example being Jamie Dimon clutching his pearls when Obama Admin merely suggesting the optics of huge bonuses for execs during a meltdown was a bad look.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Wasn’t the Linux kernel built remotely using a mailing list and occasional IRC as the collaboration tools?

How do we explain the “innovation” that happened there?
Not sure about that. I'm not familiar with Apple's DRI concept. But it sounds like there could be a DRI for the tech and a DRI for the business side of things. If not you would probably want the tech role to be the DRI and pull the info from the business/product expert. The alternative would be to have the business/product expert be the DRI and maybe take on a project manager type role. There is also the possibility that someone does do both roles and is super efficient, or just works 100+ hours per week. But in reality my guess is they end up becoming the business/product expert and delegating the tech lead to someone else

> the typical HN reader is near the top of the curve

For seniority? Not a chance. The last time there was a poll (admittedly a long time ago), two thirds of HN's users were under 30.
There was still competition at that point.

As soon as we have robots that perform as well as a human, whoever has resources can make whatever they need (soldiers, workers) and who doesn't have resources is disposable.

There is no need to make concessions with disposable people demanding rights, you can just send killer robots and replace those people with robots.
Funny you bring up the Manhattan project, as the actual uranium was purified by the "Calutron Girls".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calutron_Girls

These were high school graduates (largely female), who sat around fiddling with the controls to manually run the uranium purification knobs.

Apparently, engineers and scientists were really bad at this job. I don't know how they figured it out, but high school females had just the right mindset to watch the control panel and move the dials correctly.

None of the Calutron Girls knew they were making the bomb. In fact, the article where I read about them was an interview with an old-lady in the 2000s, who was surprised to learn that her high-school summer job was building the A-Bomb!! I think they were told that it was very important for the war effort that they do their job correctly, but that was about it.

------------

So even for an incredibly complicated job like the Manhattan project (which obviously needed top-tier scientists), it turns out that top-tier scientists / engineers simply don't have the mindset to do some dreary day-to-day tasks. Other people (such as the Calutron Girls) may end up having a better mindset to do these parts of the job.

I wouldn't be surprised if our understanding of human psychology, sociology, and group-dynamics are still poor today. The ideal team composition is still a big mystery, especially on big hypothetical jobs like a "Manhattan Project".
