> but this time it's the same advice I usually give, "Don't ever tell anyone anything, and NEVER give out passwords to anyone."

OK, but if the legit banks are actually *asking you to read back 2FA codes on the phone"... I assume you include a 2FA code as a "password" since that's what we're talking about... you'd just refuse to talk to them when they call you about potential fraud? Find a new bank that doesn't do that?

Krebs advice to "never give out personal info or 2FA codes when they call you, always call them back at the number on your card" seems like a more useful/actionable appraoch to me than your "never give them personal info or 2FA codes at all".

So, anyway, yeah, krebs advice is "actionable", but... it's not easy. To remember, or to do when you're busy and trying to get on with your day dealing with banks and other bureacracies that routinely "legitimately" ask you to do crazy things.
At this point, I'm starting to think voice calls are a lost cause - most everybody I know doesn't even bother answering any more.
> You can chose to let others do your computing for you, but don’t be surprised when they want to charge you for it

Computing for yourself isn’t free either, you just paid the bulk of the costs up front.

One of the areas of decentralized computing that’s actually interesting to me - and I mean this in the idealized version, not whatever cloudflare’s thing is - is the idea of being able to “burst” compute when I need additional power. The fixed cost of having a personal machine capable of anything I might want (note: I might want - I’m an outlier, I know most people’s needs are met by the most rudimentary toaster available) is remarkably high compared to the cost of my average compute needs - being able to “rent” the excess could be both cheaper and less wasteful on the mean.
Up until June 2020. This was just the beginning of the paradigm shift and during those uniquely stressful pandemic early days. We've had over a year of new data.
Microsoft would tend to be a beneficiary of remote work opportunities, though, since they pay better than most places, and since the COL at their head office is high. If their workers can work anywhere, they might be able to pay them less. I have a friend who went fully remote there lately and took a 15% paycut to do it. Now he lives in a city with few local dev jobs, so he's even more married to Microsoft than before, when he lived SFBA and had many local opportunities.

All that to say this doesn't seem like a strong reason for them to put their finger on the scale.
Hold on. If you jump every few months you actually never have to do anything and can probably find an endless string of companies. Hell, you might even land at one where they never realize you aren't doing anything as long as you can complete tickets....I mean "stories."

> It's wrong to say because a reasonably acculturized person would know that there is a high chance it would be offensive in context.

And what if you're not a "reasonably acculturized" person?
The irony of this is next level, after all Microsoft has been threatening innovation for decades.

This sounds more like their typical corporate propaganda to get workers back onto their campuses and under the whip of their middle-management class.
You're speaking from the position of how it should be, while everyone else is talking about how it is.

It's not hard to find plenty of instances of police abusing their power and getting away with it. In many departments, "Internal Affairs" works FOR the police, rather than as a neutral 3rd party. The "We investigated ourselves and found no wrong-doing" is a common meme because it's often true.
Same here. I do contribute code or bug reports once in a blue moon though.
How Service Catalog Increases Productivity
An abridged history of decentralized storage:

* DHTs are "invented" at Berkeley/MIT. Online storage is too expensive for most end users, so the target market is helping large companies index data in their filesystems.

* A bunch of content distribution protocols get built on top of the concept, the most popular being Bittorrent. Torrent protocols run into issues with the free rider problem, resulting in slow downloads. Meanwhile, storage on the web is becoming cheaper and cheaper.

* To solve the free rider problem, IPFS was created. A brilliant incentive structure was created so that asset hosting no longer relied on the benevolence torrent seeders. Meanwhile, companies like Cloudflare, Mega, Google and Amazon make online storage essentially free.

* Cloudflare starts hosting IPFS assets for free. Decentralized storage still exists, but is still slow in comparison and, in IPFS's case, is more expensive than free, so people only use IPFS addresses to download assets from large, centralized services.

* IPFS is mostly used as a distributed network of hashed addresses that can be used to look up data in a large company's filesystem.

> Is there any kind of programming task where it's too much to ask the programmer to know the type of the function he's writing?

Yes — that’s exactly what I said.

Some programmers create code by iteratively refining the types involved in short loops. Insisting that each of these loops update typing is simply providing a broken tool to people who code in that style.

> That's caveman Java right there.

Or you know, production corporate code — eg, AWS-CDK uses the IType/Type split to allow substitution of types into functions that “just happen” when you can use dynamic typing.

https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk

Typeclasses are great; dynamic type classing is better for exploration-style coding, eg dynamically adding members in Python.
Even if its uncool, I agree that that response is uncalled for. I feel like the "dunking" style of social media activism has really become mainstream in wildly inappropriate situations.

> Your definition of “winner” is someone who leaves money on the table

No, my definition of winner (in a transaction) is someone who gives less than what they receive.

> By that definition there is no market where they are two winners.

No, transactions can be positive sum if the goods & services being traded are valued differently by the buyer and seller.

For example, if it costs me $2 for materials & $8 in labor to knit sweaters, I value each sweater at $10. Someone else who is using the sweater to stay warm, may value that sweater at $30. If we transact at $20, that's a positive sum transaction.

However, equity markets are different because the "product" that's being traded (NPV of future company cash flows) isn't valued differently by various parties. That is, if the NPV of future company cash flows is $100, there's no party that will pay more than $100 for it.

This invariance in valuation is the feature that gives rise to the zero sum nature of equity markets.
Ah yes, HermanCainAward because if you want information about someone its always best to view them through the lens of people who are happy they are dead.
Donated to Signal and I intend to donate again to other projects as soon as I can. Unfortunately I'm not working so it's not that easy, but I'm doing my part to report bugs for every software I use, even using beta versions.
Nonsense. Crypto has reputation systems just like everywhere else. I just shipped a successful NFT art project this week with a team. We already made our first 1.5ETH royalty payment from OpenSea in the first 24 hours (although they only pay out once a month, we managed to launch just a day before the cut off). It works absolutely fine.
It's not the poor people you notice, it's the tweakers and homeless people shitting themselves you notice. And the criminals [1]. The poor people look just like any other person on a train so you can't tell they're poor in the first place. Maybe they have crappier shoes and a crappier phone but that's irrelevant because they behave like normal people.

Seriously, have you ever taken a BART train late at night where there was a guy tweaked out of his mind? Or sat in chairs that look like they were shit on 5 times and never properly cleaned? Why do you expect people to deal with that as if it's perfectly okay? Why do you expect people not to take alternative modes of transportation when that's what they have to deal with? This kind of anti-societal behavior is only accepted in the US, and nowhere else in the world.

> In the real world scientists do look at claims by others, consider if those people are actually domain-specific experts in the area they are making claims in, and judge accordingly every day.

Individual scientists are people and they do what they wish. They have friends, enemies, biases, bad personality traits, and temper tantrums. Some may also believe in voodoo, karma, or reincarnation. But this is not part of science, these are just traits of the individual.

This is the same about rejecting something because the author is "not an expert". Individuals might do it, but it has no place in peer review or other form of official commentary.
In my experience it's rare for a company whose core product is not technology to realize the ROI they're getting is completely worth is and to continue investing in tech and appreciate their tech staff.

> in the end the user itself could be the one that deletes the browsers local data

This is especially true, because often customer support for many websites have customers begin troubleshooting with clearing the browser's "cache and cookies". In other words deleting all of the local data for all sites. There are ways to delete the local data for just one site, but they are pretty hidden, and involve multiple steps. I wish browsers had a simple "delete all data for just this site" button.
Show HN: Doro – CLI based pomodoro app
I've arranged for my employer to sponsor a few small projects via Patreon. We chose some projects that we found especially useful, but that are small enough that our donation could make a difference.
Most employers will do a match if the donation is to a charity. Things like the Debian project (although the charity that manages it has a different name), FSF, etc, qualify. Always check with your employer before making a donation in case they're willing to contribute, too. Also, donations are often tax deductible.

Couldn't have happened at a better time for Netflix. From what I've heard, Koreans are pretty pumped up that Squid Game is storming the global market (it's said that the producer of the show tried to make it for many years, except that nobody in Korea wanted to invest, thinking that it was too out-there), and then an unpopular ISP comes along and sues Netflix for profit ...

I get a lot of eye rolling when I go around pointing out that one-time codes are not, by definition, multi-factor auth. Google and some other services properly refer to this auth method as "two-step verification."

Something you know. Something you have. Something you are. Known passwords of any type are all in the first category, and they will always be highly phishable, and using more than one of the same factor will never be "multi-factor."

Ask HN: Why does mobile design suck?
I don’t mean this rhetorically. What’s the significance? My assumption is that there are many reasons other than just “apple is the best when it comes to design”. I’d really like to have a phone with a mobile equivalent to Linux, something lightweight and open-source yet still easy on the eyes. However this just doesn’t exist in the realm of mobile. Design alternatives to Apple are just inferior. Do all designers just go work at Apple or what? Can someone give me a cure for my naivety?
