Great insight! I'll add the Hitman series of games, which have low load times as well. It's a sandbox style of game where you need to spend time exploring and iterating on your course of action to get the full experience. Without fast loading, it would quickly go from fun to unbearable.
Embalming always seemed ridiculous to me.
People are so offensive to decentralized stuff in comments. Many do really think that the whole thing is about printing money (which is a fun process, lol), but I'd like to explain a bit from the other side of perspective.

Today's web have an obvious problem - it is run by oligopolies.

CF/AWS and Google don't like you (like with Parler case or recent youtube shields on discussing elections on several countries) and you have a problem.

Torrent-like static distributions (IPFS) with distributed backends like Ethereum basically broke this oligopoly - even US gov wouldn't be able to shut down truly "web3" service, which is pretty cool, like in the old days when you could setup a server in third-world country. These days are different - there are state backed DDOS gangs in town with an INSANE amount of resources. You are banned from several CDNs, Google and AWS - and you are done if they want you to be shut down. For example, just a week ago Russian "elections" have happened, opposition sites were under complete ddos the whole time and Google+Apple just deleted opposition apps from the appstore after the small talk with gov guys, so there is no trust in big tech - they are not interested in anything but moneymaking.

Yes, crypto has a lot of scammers and bastards but those bastards would setup ANY website for you for one another coin. Any torrent, any porn payment processing (hello Christian fanatics and blocked card payments on pornhub), any content distribution (hello Apple in China and blocked Hong Kong flags !). Maybe that market-based approach is better if those "scammers" broke censorship and white-suite Silicon Valley boys prefer to deploy censorship mechanisms because that will make them another investment round without a scandal. Maybe censorship-free global distributed backends for critical apps are more important than a few bucks stolen. Freedom comes with a price.
The only way anyone but you can know if you did anything wrong is if you include your code, and your common lisp implementation. They don’t all have the same performance.
Big offices tend to be in urban areas that without the offices for people to work, have less demand for that expensive housing. It’s also expensive to convert and not ideal for manufacturing or other uses.

It will cause a cascade of economic damage.

it was about the lack of progress in the physical world, which i think is a mistake. we underestimate to what extent we are informational creatures once our basic needs are met. People choose to spend more on experiences and connectivity than on huge houses and physical luxuries.
The problem is getting much out of a simple filter after just a few cycles.

If they use that wording, though, they are putting themselves on the hook to fix the "flaw". That's why I'm skeptical that it was just simjacking. I don't see a way that Coinbase could implement SMS 2FA in a way that doesn't have that "flaw".
And this is why Zuckerberg will never be one of the great titans of Silicon Valley.

He's really nothing but a boring and defensive cloner/acquirer at heart. The world would be no worse off, and probably better off, had he never created Facebook. Unlike Apple, Amazon, Google, Intel, and many of the other SV companies that truly moved the world forward.

Oculus is the only thing he's bought that is actually doing something important in technology, and he seems to have done a pretty mediocre job running it so far.

Howlingly Unrealistic Portrayals of Law Enforcement Using Computers (2013)
That's my point. The manufacturer and model of the self-driving car will be blamed and possibly banned, but not all self-driving cars will be.
I work in the industry if it wasn't obvious though for years now nothing to do with phishing but I do have some experience shall we say.

1. Building a phishing page and can accept 2FA and in real time(remember code is useless after 30 sec) logs in to an account is much harder. most attacks are low quality junk.

2. From a detection standpoint, this is awesome. the attacker has to log in real-time. he will likely send that link to hundreds of people = good telemetry to detect anomalies\fraudulent logins.

3.* Another pain I remember observing was regarding the login process itself. Websites tend to change their log in UI\processes, different websites have different layouts.

This makes it frustrating and tedious maintain, bank changes the login prompt, attacker has to modify code to accommodate that.

4. Data doesn't lie, it is not bulletproof but it does offer significantly higher level of protection. saw that in actual enterprise with my own eyes.
That's why the community is talked about so much with regards to NFTs, because if you get the right community leaders, like Snowfro from Artblocks, you know you're in good hands with an ethical player. But to buy stuff from some random creators no one's heard of, can get you into sticky situations. And photo NFT's are even more troublesome.
> The claim was that people shouldn't stockpile masks for use beyond the circumstances in which they were recommended, because such additional use did not provide additional protective benefit.

That is simply and verifiably false. This is a direct quote from an executive director of the WHO health emergencies program:

> There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/world/coronavirus-who-masks-r...

Literally the first google result for "WHO masks don't work". There are plenty more after that. From the WHO's guidance published on April 6, 2020:

> there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting [...] can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19

You can speculate or demonstrate that the motives behind the claim did not match the claim itself. But to say that it wasn't the claim is flatly wrong.

Pumpkin pie with chocolate chips (dark chocolate) is one of my favorites.
You're right, and this pseudo-scientific approach is one of the major reasons that there is now such widespread distrust of supposed experts. Way too often people catch them turning a blind eye to clearly invalid methodologies because it came from a peer, or refusing to acknowledge claims or criticisms because it came from outside their little clique. This is not behaviour we want to encourage or tolerate.
Is there any d2c business anywhere in the world right now that requires U2F on all accounts? I think you underestimate how confusing all of this is to non-technical users.
I believe that unless you put the inline pragma on the Lisp function, the compiler isn't allowed to optimize the recursion.

In general, Common Lisp doesn't favor recursive functions (as opposed to Scheme), and as far as I know, most implementations don't put huge amounts of effort into optimizing it.

I'd be interested to see whether the same written using the loop (or iterate:iter) macros would still be as slow.

Compared to all the other mercury we put back in the environment. We're talking a few grams here. And it doesn't do much damage while it's in your mouth either.
> I guess the other challenge is if you have to do a (full) app reinstall

Yeah, that's true, if the user does a full app removal and re-install then they would need to re-enroll in MFA. But for app updates they'd be ok.

> The only downsides I can think of is that if the app local data is exposed, you possibly lose your cached creds and the TOTP seed..

That's a good point too, but what you're describing would probably require someone to fully compromise (root) a phone. If that happened, you'd be SOL on many fronts. At my company we try to safeguard against rooted phones by 1. only holding user credentials in memory and 2. pairing our app with a public key that encrypts the password as soon as it's entered (our servers then decrypt it with the private key upon receipt).
> Today I learned that up until the 90s, the general populous accepted global warming as scientific fact.

No, they didn't. In the 1970s, global cooling was the "scientific fact". The "global warming" narrative wasn't really being pushed until the late 1980s, and it wasn't until well into the 90s that discussion of the overall issue of what the climate might be like in the future was widespread.

> oil companies started media propaganda efforts specifically trying to change the public opinion on the matter,

So did global warming activists--in fact they did it sooner (what started the "global warming" debate in the late 1980s was a Congressional hearing purposely staged by activists to occur during a summer heat wave--and the A/C for the hearing room just "happened" to not be working that day). We are awash in propaganda on all sides of this issue.
> “Apparently he must have been under the influence because in the background of his picture he posted, he left his large bag of meth and syringe on the coffee table.

Unlikely. Peruse ebay or craigslist enough and you'll find all manner of images posted, upside down, tilted left or right, and with all manner of stuff in the backgrounds unrelated to the item for sale. Most people are simply unaware that there is any alternative (like cropping after taking the photo, or even 'cropping' before taking the photo [i.e., making the item fill the full frame, before taking the shot]).
APL comes to mind as a language that could be faster to learn and use for a particular task, if your particular task involves a lot of pure matrix combination and manipulation.

though, the fact that it wants its own keyboard is a bit of a hurdle :)
DroneSeed | Seattle | Multiple Positions | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE

We at DroneSeed are working to help address climate change by making reforestation scalable with drone swarms - surveying and planting trees. We’re Techstars ‘16 alum, VC backed, and working with 3 of the 5 largest forestry companies in the US. Also, we just raised our Series A.

Currently have a bunch of openings and are adding more shortly in engineering, product, and sales. If you don't see something that fits right now, check back in the next week or two.

We want creative, thoughtful, empathetic people with serious grit to join a team dedicated to inclusion and a critical mission.

We have a Theory of the the Firm.

But what are the results, in specific enough detail to drive individual business decisions?
Ha! Around that age (actually probably a little older) I begged and pleaded with my mom to get saltpeter and sulfur to make firecrackers and rockets. Eventually she relented and got it for me, but with the stipulation I had to wear a welding helmet, heavy coat, and heavy rubber gloves while working with it, and that only under supervision... Anyway, the actual gunpowder I managed to make didn't really work, just kind of fizzled out. I never managed to get a firecracker to actually make any noise. It sure was a lot of fun though. :-)
"It's hard" is a reason, not an excuse.

Stealth Startup | Founding Engineer | Israel or remote

We develop an open source + enterprise platform related to Kubernetes and cloud maintenance. We offer extremely competitive salaries, substantial option grants, flexible hours, and the ability to have a huge impact. We're hiring both senior engineers and developer advocates with existing blogging experience. Our stack is Golang, Python (mostly typed), Typescript + Vue, Supabase/Postgres and the occasional low level stuff like eBPF, Linux kernel, and networking. You'll be joining an extremely experienced team.

Can you elaborate on that? As I see it dynamic was popular in the 90's (Python, JS, Ruby), but outside of that it's always been pretty much dynamic for scripting and static for everything else.
I suppose that could work, but one potential advantage of TOTP is that the secret/seed used to generate the 6 digit codes is never transmitted and not at risk of being intercepted.

It's also probably more user-friendly to put a TOTP secret/seed on a device than it would be a client certificate. A certificate would probably be too big to easily scan with a QR code. QR codes can hold large amounts of data, but with more data the QR becomes larger and the detail becomes very fine. The camera needs to be very good, lighting needs to be very good, etc.
> Maybe not all autonomous cars will be banned when someone is killed

Well that's exactly my point. The manufacturer and model of the self-driving car will be blamed and possibly banned, but not all self-driving cars will be. The first pedestrian death isn't going to be blamed on all autonomous cars.
You want to enable the "annoyance" lists. In this case it was caught by "Fanboy's Annoyance List" for me.

Hack Club | Remote in USA | Contract | https://hackclub.com and https://github.com/hackclub

I run Hack Club, which is a nonprofit that helps high schoolers start programming clubs at their schools. We open source almost everything we do at https://github.com/hackclub/. You can read a little about a summer program we ran a couple months ago here: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/teens-code-while-traveli....

I'm trying to find a Rails contractor who has a really good product eye to contribute to Hack Club Bank, which is a financial tool we run to help Hack Clubs and hackathons manage their finances and become nonprofits. https://hackclub.com/bank/ is the marketing page for it and https://medium.com/hackclub/hack-club-bank-is-now-live-for-e... has some more background on the product.

In this role, you'd be shipping features that require a combination of frontend and backend work. Our backend is pretty standard Ruby on Rails and our frontend is normal JavaScript with pages rendered by the backend. We have a small team of Hack Clubbers aged 13-17 that contribute to the product, and you'd also be serving as a mentor to them to scope out features, break them down into issues, and working with them through code reviews to get their code merged.

My hope is to open source Hack Club Bank in the future, so hopefully you'd be able to contribute to that as well.

If you're reading this and not currently looking for work, I would really appreciate any suggestions for people to reach out to, or profiles of anyone in the Rails community that you're inspired by that I could look into.

If you're interested in the role or have any suggestions, please email me at zach (at) hackclub.com. If you're interested in the role, please include your GitHub or links to any open source projects you've built or contributed to.
Pyroscope (YC W21) | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time / Contract

Pyroscope is open source performance monitoring software, currently with a focus on Continuous Profiling. Pyroscope was founded at the beginning of 2021 and we've already seen a lot of rapid growth/community adoption as well as feedback for what features developers are excited for us to build.

I'm sure there are many people who share the mentality you describe, but I don't think it applies to most core developers of cryptocurrency protocols, and such developers also don't make more money the more expensive mining is.
Interface, maybe, but the secret sauce (if it can even be called that) for TikTok is the content discovery (recommendation) system. (Vine used a traditional friend-follower SNS design, and anecdotally all of my interactions were from off-platform links so...)

Also I feel like the problem with Facebook is not that it's copying, but rather their copies often seem subpar. Remember the function to send/receive money in Messenger? Back in the day it seemed like one of the worse instantiations of this feature out of the various messenger systems...
I had a similar experience, but with napalm.
