This not problem for inviting spaces per se. But spaces where you can hide. If you have this in ordinary "inviting" public spaces the that is sign of dysfunctional society. Most parks and town squares in cities I have lived are safe (at least if you are man).
I think of it rather as killing two birds in one stone.

I simply use Authy instead of Google Authenticator. It has a desktop app that syncs to the Authy app on my phone.

Taxes are also much higher (especially if your employer has good health insurance coverage in the US, so the added benefits are less). Like I pay an average 40% rate on income plus 25% sales tax, the marginal rate on income (and RSUs, etc.) is 56%!

It's really painful for stuff like housing which is a similar price (and increasing!), or inelastic international goods like electronics, cars, fuel (which is also heavily taxed), etc.

Americans are incredibly lucky - far higher wages, and the freedom to manage your own finances (not forced to pay for irresponsible parents' lifestyle choices through extremely high taxes).

To elaborate on Soviet and Maoist "administrative failures": both governments heavily relied on central planning and thus transferred authority from individual farmers to the bureaucracy. This often meant bureaucrats would set export quotas based on calculations rather than merely exporting excess product and making decisions based on spreadsheets rather than relevant expertise.

From what I can gather, the unofficial story behind the mass starvation of the Great Leap Forward seems to be that Chinese bureaucrats fell for exaggerated claims about farming techniques used in the Soviet Union and pivoted the farmers to using those techniques and set quotas based on the expected returns. When the results didn't match the calculations, nobody wanted to (likely, literally) bite the bullet so they tried to make good on the overpromised exports, starving the local populations.

Much like the Chernobyl incident, this was more of a case of bad judgement followed by a rigid chain of command playing chicken with a catastrophe to avoid taking responsibility for a comparably minor gaffe.

Of course the CCP didn't want its bureaucracy to appear incompetent and for the US it was more useful as anti-communist propaganda to frame it as mass murder than administrative failure, so neither side has been particularly honest about it in most "official" material until the end of the (first?) Cold War.

If you want to point out deliberate mass murders by China or the Soviet Union there were plenty of those (e.g. Mao killing the landlords) but in terms of scale they don't really compare.

EDIT: Also if you seriously want to count famines as mass murder, you won't like hearing about what the British did in India.

I was at BAML when the sev 1 audit finding happened. My view was from an application support team in Risk. For us Quartz was fantastic, and it had a pretty decent permissions system. The problem is there were two miss-aligned goals.

On the one hand the goal was to build a single enterprise scale system with a holistic view of the bank's data to do rapid ad-hoc position evaluations and meet new needs rapidly.

On the other hand, access to all that data and all the code is clearly a security concern. By the time I left the sev 1 finding was well on the way to being mitigated, but for example it meant that instead of handing out quartz developer accounts and IDE access like candy it had to be restricted to technology personnel only.
Making places inviting does the opposite for crime if you do it right. You get what’s called ‘natural surveillance’ that is, where there tends to be enough people around, seeing what’s going on that it discourages crime.

> XMPP uses passwords for authentication, rather than phone numbers. Since the server needs to use the password to verify you are you, there should be no surprise that it is sent to the server when you create your account or change your password. Just like any website or service that utilizes passwords for authentication.

There are plenty of authentication protocols that don't send passwords in cleartext. WPA would be rather useless if that happened, for example. Granted, the server operator can impersonate anyone they want already, but password leaks are a thing.

Server-side contact handling is independent of end-to-end ecryption, and doesn't need to be plaintext either.

Pretty much the only excusable things here are what's related to IP.

I worked on Athena at JPMorgan for 8 years, and loved it.

Seeing Python at the core of trading, risk and post-trade processing for Commodities, FX, Credit etc was such a great developer experience.

By the time I left JPM, there were 4500 devs globally making 20k commits weekly into the Athena codebase. (I did a PyData presentation on this [1] for more details).

The one downside was the delayed transition from Py2.7 to 3; I left just as that was getting underway.

I will have to deal with this question soon. I am, at this point, really unsure about how to handle it.

I do not want to artificially limit my kid to technologies that are no longer really relevant, but I do agree that safeguarding attention is THE skill of the next century, simply because it will be scarce.

Like many here, my thinking is mainly driven by my own experiences:
I started quite early and even though it's not my field of study, I now have this innate "talent" to code and figure out technical problems. I struggle much less to learn tech things. I think it's like starting to play Piano early. I want my kid to learn this and have the confidence in their technical ability as I do. I always felt this gave me a leg up, although it may of course be illusory. In any case, it came through coding early.

However, even back then, I wanted to use the computer for fun. I didn't "try" to be productive. There was no internet, I had barely any books and only a lot of dev software, and no games. So I had to learn to make games myself. And lacking any tutorials or information, I needed to trial and error everything. Would I have done the same today? Or would I have just consumed if Steam or GOG is freely available. Or, even when coding, stackexchange is just a click away. Would I be similarly positive about early computing if I had those things? Who knows?

Obviously, hacking into a bare shell or IDE without any outside info is not how people use computers nowadays. Furthermore, the above reads like a parent trying to recreate his own life in the life of a child. The world is different, surely.

Gah, I don't know.

I suppose the consume vs. create dichtonomy mentioned elsewhere in this thread might be a useful rule.

Three days of food ingredients for two people isn't actually a lot, assuming you already have bulk staples (flour, sugar, rice, etc) in your pantry. I'm already including all the other incidentals outside of bulk staples: add occasional toilet paper rolls, paper towels, olive oil and vinegar, minor snacks, etc, and you get the one large grocery bag on average per trip. Maybe two if you're eating things that are bulky to carry (e.g. kale or something with a ton of eggs).

Like, come on. No typical two-person household is going through a full package of toilet paper and an entire mid-sized bottle of laundry detergent every three days.

I live in such a walkable neighborhood and for groceries I use a rather big backpack and I can get groceries for multiple days that way. For the my two-person household it is possible to get enough groceries by going to the supermarket twice a week, so either of us only needs to go once a week. Actually, I do not walk the 1 km to the supermarket but go by bike stead.

> People who are in the top 1% of technical skill will do that. Not "the rest of us".

That means it's not 100% guaranteed one will be locked out, _provided that_ one has the tech chops. Even with such condition, is enough to totally invalidate your statement of "100% guaranteed you'll be locked out".

You probably should change your statement to say "99% of people (i.e., those withiout tech chops) will very likely -- or almost certain -- to be locked out sometime in the future". Now that new statement will be true.
> The walkability comes at the cost of tiny housing though.

Is it really obligatory? I know that it is often correlated, but it is possible to build apartment tower with decently sized apartments, in a walkable neighbourhood.

Maybe it tends to be more profitable to split apartments into smaller one? While splitting house plots into smaller being less profitable and resulting in this effect?

Walkability isn't uniform across Europe, Scandinavia or even within a single country: other people have mentioned Stockholm - which is still a walkable town, even though car-traffic is prioritized over cycles and pedestrians[0] - but other towns in Sweden are definitely not modelled for pedestrians. Nyköping is a town I need to visit regularly, and there pretty much all of the grocery and larger stores have been placed in out-of-town complexes, which means that everyone takes the car for almost all activities: I was there at the weekend and sat in a car-queue myself (I was part of the problem) for about ten minutes just to get past one of the roundabouts that accesses one of these shopping areas (which are vast car-parks and ugly buildings effectively cut-off from the town and inaccessible to anyone without a car).

So any characterization of USA vs Europe positing Europe as some sort of walkable-heaven is really just idealized bullshit.

> I guess banks are the archetypal places that care only about feature creation and not about maintenance or technical debt.

It depends which department you are in, but in general: absolutely not. Actually the reverse is true.
Banks have huge risks to manage: just imagine for instance what damage a hack of their account system could cause. Or a crash of their payment system. Therefore it is of the utmost importance that systems are stable and bug free. In most departments, feature development is only in second place: stability and reliability have priority one.

This concern is so important that it is not just left to the responsibility of the banks themselves: for many systems, banks have to comply with external standards and are audited for that by external agencies.

> Yeah and if you stopped doing that and instead used a car to buy your groceries or ordered them delivered to your doorstep, you would have more free time and more energy. People want free time and energy.

From my personal experience, I've found that doing physical exercise (paradoxically enough) seems to give me more energy. On those days where I've sat still all day I'm much more likely to feel like doing nothing after work, whereas when I've done my usual cycle commute I'm usually a lot more mentally alert. YMMV of course, but given the choice I'll personally rather do more than less physical exercise, even if it's small activities here and there like lugging some groceries.
> Angular is the EE of JS FX’s (inelegant and bloated), always surprised when some devs choose it over Vue, React or Svelte.
