Sort of off-topic -- but related to "they would never request that" -- recently, I reached out to Hover's support due to a billing issue. The support agent eventually asked me for my 2FA code and I literally sat back in my chair and mumbled "...what?" I told them, "absolutely not." Then I told them that typically, they would request access and then I would have to approve it. They then proceeded to follow protocol. This agent was literally asking to take over my account, and I guess they can bypass passwords but not 2FA. I know Hover != $Bank, but regardless, it made me very uncomfortable and has me second guessing Hover's security practices.

hard yes, also what you wrote about 'plans going stale'
Virtually all European wineyards are planted with American species having branches of local varieties grafted onto them. This has been the case since XIX century.
Yeah and there are many blue collar jobs where workers have way more integrity and respect, and where the managers are actually (held) accountable. Being a software developer is pretty spineless in comparison, even though you make more money and get to sit on your ass. I think it's unhealthy and causes burnout.

Edit: that's why people make FIRE exists and start physical jobs instead, become farmers etc, it's not as simple as a job being hard or easy, but stressful, irrational, alienating and in other ways unhealthy that doesn't necessarily make it obviously "hard".
I don't think that's an example of something unenforceable, though. So long as you still have courts and bailiffs, they can basically just force someone to make a transfer by threatening or employing violence.
What other engines are available for building 3D games for the web?

In the linked article on the words "the scammers can get around that, too" [1], there's an account that claims the legit bank did in the past ask for the 2FA on a phone call, in pretty much exactly the same way the scammers did.

> Mitch said his financial institution has in the past verified his identity over the phone by sending him a one-time code to the cell phone number on file for his account, and then asking him to read back that code.

The advice from Krebs about phone calls is never talk to "the bank" (etc) when they call you, always you have to call them back. But the bank _will_ really sometimes contact you "out of the blue" to ask you about potential fraud on your account. You just have to hang up and call them back, you can't tell the difference based on "reasons".

It is very hard for the end-user to tell what 2FA request is "for no reason". I think we need to focus not on what the "reason" is or if it's "out of the blue", but, the equivalent of "call them back" for online too -- don't click on a link in an email, etc.

No matter what, it's not easy, especially for less technical users. The linked account is a security professional that fell for it -- I personally don't have the hubris to think I never would.

There have been times when an actual bank asks me to do something I know is insecure, and I consider resisting it, but I just didn't have the energy for it, I figured it really was the real bank just being idiotic and I wanted to get on with my day (and guess what, it was, I was right).

> I haven't had a single issue with someone I couldn't handle myself. I never felt uneasy interacting with others.

that's good for you, but how can you then assume everyone else shares the identical circumstances as you? Different historically marginalized groups have different experiences, and different individuals within those groups have entirely different experiences as well. Heck, I'm from zero historically marginalized identities but i have a lot of social anxiety, I've had lots of uneasiness. You are lucky that you have had no bad experiences (I might even argue this is really a sub-category of "survivorship bias").

I run an open source project. Users come to me for help, I would never think to say, "this code is easy for me to do, therefore it should be easy for you too, go work harder". Would be pretty outrageously bad, in fact. For me to assume that just because something is easy / possible / reasonable for me, therefore it should be for everyone else, would indicate a profound lack of empathy.

CoC's are there to indicate to the userbase that the comfort of all users is of the highest importance so they can get on with the job of working on code together, largely related to the fact that society is in a place of great change where all kinds of tacit, implicit, pervasive disapproval and marginalization of all kinds of people is suddenly not being tolerated. It's not unusual that this level of change would make people uncomfortable but the best thing you can do is to try to see the bigger picture rather than burrowing into becoming a reactionary.
Remember, it's only racism if white people do it.

Wow, glad someone else caught that. I read that comment a few times because it seemed almost exactly the opposite in intent of the general intent of the PR (as explained by the twitter thread).
Right, this can misconstrue a difference in a way that becomes unnatural.

Obviously, you will notice a person who is disabled in some way. It's there, so why would you deny the truth and its contextual relevance and objective significance? But the kind of artificial attention to disability these sorts of things enforce in the name of "sensitivity" can displace it into some weird category that causes people to view disabled people first and foremost as disabled, and whatever else second, even if the particular occasion has nothing to do with that disability. This can even dehumanize the person by making them "a disabled" and not a person. This also makes social interaction awkward (I know how to talk to a person, but I don't know how to talk to "a disabled") and I'm sure, as you seem to agree, this is no kindness to the disabled. You're robbed of certain social interactions as a person because your identity is now "a disabled" and not "human being I can talk to about this conference topic".
The way I see NFTs is this:

It is an open API to deal with ownership rights. Every behavior that you can program into ownership, is now available. The profile pictures are stupid, yes, but the idea that property is moved to an open database which anyone can program a behavior is exciting.

Aston martin can now have a lounge in France where only Aston Martin owners can join, even if your car is in New York. Even if they can do that now, they haven't, and would not do it in an open api that anyone can build any application they want for owners.

We are learning what is possible at this very moment, a lot of the experiments are memes, and there are twice as many scams. Open and permissionless means that scammers as well as innovators are invited. However, there's excitement there which is very palpable and I would encourage you not to dismiss it.
The NFT equivalent of marriage would be getting married, and your spouse continuing to live with their old roommates, date around, keeping a separate bank account, going on other people's family vacations, and starting multiple families other than yours.

If that's how marriage worked, people wouldn't get married either.
Taxing corporate income is rather silly to begin with. It causes companies to engage in all sorts of pointless financial engineering just to avoid taxes without generating any value. This is a net drain on the economy.

A better approach would be to cut corporate income taxes to zero. But make it revenue neutral by increasing taxes on shareholders, bondholders, and highly paid employees.
interesting conclusions indeed.

it's decentralization if it runs on two separate hard drives in the same AWS data center, right? right!?
Correct, it still only exists as long as someone on the IPFS network wants to keep it up. Similar to bittorrent in that way. Still, in the long-term, it seems that having the actual image/video/audio/other data replicated on a decentralized network rather than hosted on a single domain makes more sense to me (but then again, I'm very bullish on the future of IPFS/Filecoin).
> Life-long tech workers have no idea how much worse conditions are even for “knowledge workers” in other fields.

I worked as a supermarket janitor in high school and college. Most of my work in tech has been for government contractors. Most days I feel like I'm still a janitor, only I'm coping with other people's tech debt instead of scrubbing toilets. The thing is, if scrubbing floors and toilets paid as well as coding I'd go back to pushing a mop in a heartbeat because at least janitorial work has a better-defined scope of work and definition of done than most of the development projects with which I've been involved.
I think the point is that these are not real problems.

My wife works in healthcare, and agree that our "problems" are paltry relative to what they deal with.

It's actually a line from his 1967 poem "I am Joaquin".

Is this (generally) reliable?

I know terrible, awful bugs eventually doomed WebSQL from getting any traction and IndexedDB seems to be a more competent replacement, but the fact that Google is leaning on FSA seems like a non-starter.

It just feels like there's no way in hell Webkit will ever implement this stuff - not because of the divide between the App Store and PWA's - but due to the implications for privacy.

Hard pass.
> Are there any real success stories for "ontolgies" like this? It seems like a lot of them are made, but they're ultimately not that useful.

Back in the dot-com era I was marginally involved in a project proposal for a business spun-out of a logistics company. They had developed an ontology that supposedly captured their parent business's (admittedly extensive) knowledge of global logistics, and had then built a multi-layered process model on top of it. From what I recall, the business model was that you could buy vertical (logistics speciality) and horizontal (level of detail) slices through the model that would express a subset of the domain knowledge in a way that could be somehow implemented (or executed?). It seemed very clever, as did the people, and the one time I went to their offices the walls were pretty-much covered in diagrams and post-its defining their massive model. I heard later that they had shut-down due to lack of sales.
Native comp is great. Most of the speed ups are modest, but it's really noticeable in some really slow operations.

For example, calculating org-table summaries in a very large org file I have (way too large, but I'm too lazy to archive) used to take over 5 minutes. Since I enabled native_comp it completes in under a minute.
I am slowly moving off my retro computing hobby. The last straw was recent chip shortage and crazy prices. I bought myself a copy of "The 8088 Project Book" and I wanted to build the presented 8088 breadboard computer. Guess what? The only factory that was building compatible 8088/8086 chips caught fire (Renesas factory fire). I had to order 20 year old chips for the price x2 of the new chips. But not only that, some chips are either unavailable or crazy expensive due to a lot of recent interests in retro-comp.

In other way, the hobby became unreasonably expensive for me. So I decided to move my interests into FPGA. The fun is almost the same, but the cost is way lower (you only need to buy a good board and a book, and you are set up). I started with this extremely simple IDE: https://github.com/FPGAwars/icestudio

As for this build, I have mixed feelings about using FPGAs to revive old computers. Can't we create something new out of it? It would be fun to have a _modern_ FPGA based SBC with easy to program graphics (memory mapped) and with simple device interface (I think USB is way too complicated for hobbyists). Just something powerful enough to create games, yet simple enough so that teenager can write a simple OS in his spare time.
So what other options do we have available? We have tried client certificates, hardware tokens, biometrics and a tonne of heuristics. None of these could do much to stop an attack when the user is cooperating with the scammer.

Tampa, circa 2015-2018, IIRC. I was on the 10th floor at 4040 Boy Scout for a couple months and it was glorious. Then we moved to the 4th floor and it was bad. They intentionally under buy office space there because they already expected the majority of their IT to work remote.

And yeah, PwC also does productive work. I have a friend who works in healthcare who said working with PwC was a nightmare - basically teaching their associates how healthcare worked. The comment about pretty is really about how PwC seems to hire intentionally for visual appeal in their client facing roles. The company is basically selling confidence in their competence, so using the halo effect is a pretty natural strategy. It also lingers for me as being a bit icky.
The doodle is not visible for the rest of us.
Ok sure, I don't think people are disagreeing with that, it's just not what anyone else was talking about so you seemed to be missing the point.
The difference with baseball cards is that nobody ever had the option to just "buy the Barry Bonds card" out of the gate.

The value came from the rarity of people all over buying random packs of cards, collecting them, trading them and the established rarity that came from that massive distribution coupled with holding the cards for a decade or more to see how one of these players career played out. On the off chance that you held onto a rare card of a legendary player, then congratulation...you have something of value. More so if you took good care of it.

There's none of that with NFTs. It's akin to handing out flyers on the street and asking somebody to pay for them on the basis that..."Sir, that flyer belongs only to you now. Congratulations!"

NFT's are just digital proof of an old adage.

No, that was not the tone. No where in the comment was anything like "vaccine specifically hasn't prevented deaths."

That interpretation was created by you. Somehow you stretched "doesn't stop the spread" (a fact) to "hasn't prevented deaths / hospitalizations" which is in direct opposition to "But definetly[sic] decreased them."

You strawmanned an Icelander, then pivoted to tone policing. Please stop and apologize to the OP. Please reflect and understand that by invalidating people's real lived experiences you are creating more division, more animosity, more "anti vaxxers"! If you can simply reply to misinformation with good information (without strawmanning or tone policing), you will make actual progress on what I hope is your true goal; making people more informed about covid vaccines.
If your true motivation is to feel morally superior to random people on the internet, then by all means, continue to debate me.

This is an excerpt from "I am Joaquin" [1], of which wikipedia [2] says:

> I Am Joaquin (also known as Yo soy Joaquin), by Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales and translated by Juanita Dominguez, is a famous epic poem associated with the Chicano movement of the 1960s in the United States. In I am Joaquin, Joaquin (the narrative voice of the poem) speaks of the struggles that the Chicano people have faced in trying to achieve economic justice and equal rights in the U.S, as well as to find an identity of being part of a hybrid mestizo society. He promises that his culture will survive if all Chicano people stand proud and demand acceptance.

[This is not about Ruby.]

In an open source project it works like this:

Stage 1: Initial contributors and founders have a rough aggressive tone that is slowly adopted by new people (who are generally polite when they come).

Stage 2: Old boy club realizes that their own impoliteness is being used back against them. They write a complex CoC with intersectionalism and all goodies that are hard to follow or understand for non-Americans.

Stage 3: Old boy club now ostensibly follows the rule set, while being ice cold, authoritarian and contemptuous on the mailing lists. People not in the clique are undermined and contradicted regularly.

Stage 4: People not in the clique explode when the pressure gets too much. We have a CoC "incident"!

Stage 5: Here is when the CoC comes in handy. The Stealing Council now solicits reports of all past "microaggressions" of the target. People sift through the mailing lists and compile a dossier, ignoring any context that individual messages might have been written in.

In short, the CoC allows for a pseudo "justice" system, where trials are held NKVD troika style, without hearing the target once. You have a document to point to! CoC complaints are also private, so complaints against the old boys can be brushed off and ignored. A public CoC complaint would be a CoC violation, so the old boys are fully protected!

In most cases the Stealing Council operates like a FISA court. Punishments are handed out privately and the targets are afraid to go public.

> You compete with Roblox by creating another game the users will want to spend time on.

And if the past 5-10 years of video games gone viral is anything to go by, none of them did it on purpose.

Minecraft (at least in my opinion) kickstarted the indie game market, and years later slowly grew in popularity with a new generation of gamers.

Fortnite was a(nother) failed project from Epic, after they tried to do another Unreal Tournament. For a laugh they added a Battle Royale mode on top of what they already made for what they first thought would be popular, and the rest is history. They added a battle royale mode after the unexpected success of the shit looking PUBG, built in a shit engine with shitty looking assets by a half-assed developer. Which in turn was based on dayz, standalone version of a survival mod for the pretty obscure military game ARMA.
