Not really. Even if you're worried about that, (36 alphanumeric + 10 symbols)^10 is roughly 4E16. Even at 2B checks/second/CPU (which is incredibly generous if the web developer has any competence) that's around 10M CPU-seconds, i.e. 115 CPU-days. For cracking one single password. An ASIC will speed it up, but again, remember this is one single password, and it can be an overestimate by like a factor of > 1 million if the developer actually used a KDF (and I'm not sure why they wouldn't, if they're already hashing). How paranoid do you have to be (and how big of a target do you have to have made of yourself? and exactly how valuable are your credentials?) to worry about a threat like this for most websites? Maybe it makes sense for your primary email, but do average accounts really benefit? Compared to the inconvenience of when something goes wrong and you have to type a long password manually.
I agree. But the promises that bitcoin makes can only become reality if anarcho-capitalism itself becomes a reality. Otherwise, if the government continues to tax you, and banks continue to hold fractional reserves, what is the point of using something so anti-economical and impractical as bitcoin, when you can just use a more convenient currency?
Luckily those tiles can be removed from the start bar in Windows 10 via the right click menu, but I agree it is an annoying default behavior.
On the other hand, being introverted has also some side effects or personality traits that often come with it. Anxiety and having trouble with confidence being two of them. Online communication leaves so much more space for speculation on how something might have been meant. It can increase fear if there's too much room for imagination. So for me it's in some way understandable that an introvert has trouble with staying in touch with people online.
"Here’s the thing: That there won’t be one overlay to Earth as you are seeing it. There will be there will be millions of overlays and millions of alternative universes. And people will build some, but AI will build a lot of them. Some of these Omniverse worlds will be some of model our own world, which is the digital twin; some will model nothing like our own world. Some will be temporary worlds, while we’re working on a more persistent world – just like we have scratchpad memory in a supercomputer, there will be scratchpad Omniverse worlds."

that's.. really on you I think, and not at all similar to one site having differing validation rules in different places for the same data. What gmail does there isn't some kind of standard, it's a unique special feature google does. You don't want other sites getting clever about this sort of thing, because if the rules change much worse things will happen.

Now, sites that treat email addresses as case sensitive - those are evil.
It's only a handful of months since we were hearing about unprecedented 45C+ temperatures and towns burning down in minutes

edit: looked it up: peak of 49.6°C (121°F) June 29 2021, Lytton, BC. That's Death Valley/Saudi Arabia temps, in a place full of trees on a major river, above 50°N.

I'm curious to know how stable the blend of elements in tap water is. Do you have any data around this?

I once used an inexpensive electrical TDS meter (total dissolved solids) to track the amount of non-organic solids in water both before and after filtering over time. My goal was to determine the rate at which to replace the filter, and it turned out the manufacturer's recommendation was perfect. However I did notice that the unfiltered water's measurement fluctuated a lot over time. Could that pose a challenge in your scenario?

Thanks for a great read, btw.
You can easily apply to 20 jobs a day at least in bigger cities (though the requirement here is just 10 a week for a longer period). It sounds like a lot on paper but it's really not that unreasonable and I fequently advise people to apply more if they don't get something after a mere 10 applications.
I don't really want to be arguing this point anymore. But some things are maybe worth pointing out.

One, I think in modern use "puritanical" doesn't really mean literally specific to the Puritans. They were a fringe group even in their heyday. Rather, it's a wider characterisation of certain protestant churches, Lutheran and Calvinist come to mind too. These emphasise a hard work ethos, education, and de-emphasise "earthly pleasures" in whatever guise. Certainly that's how I [ab]use it in this context.

So yes, while actual Puritans were a small fraction of the US melting pot, plenty of conservative protestants joined them. In this [1] Wikipedia table, you can see US population in 1790. If you narrow focus to Europeans, you're hard-pressed to find any Catholics there! Ulster Scottish/Irish are protestant, Germans may include some Catholics, then there's the French and that's it.

> It might be interesting to note that historically the U.S. was viewed (by Europeans) as a corrupt, lawless country

I couldn't help but think that the US gangs (at least those that made it to popular culture) were Italian and Irish.

Tangential question, what are the areas of technology where we can expect to see substantial progress or breakthroughs within 2030, i.e. what are the most exciting areas to follow and look forward to? Here's my list:

- Nuclear fusion (Helion, ZAP, TAE, Tokamak Energy, CFS, Wendelstein).

- Self-driving cars.

- New types of nuclear fission reactors.

- Spaceflight (SpaceX Starship).

- Supersonic airplanes (Boom).

- Solid state batteries.

- Quantum computing.

- CPUs and GPUs on sub-5nm nodes.

- CRISPR-based therapies.

- Longevity research.
The Dalibor Farny nixies look amazing, I really like the video of them making them too.

hey there, here is Rob, co-founder at Chartmat. Congrats on your Launch. this looks amazing. Also super interesting thread on HN.

At Chartmat we also provide internal apps, forms & dashboards (we are at an early stage though). however, we are targeting non-technical users (no-code niche), since we found it hard with our previous low-code iteration to get enough users.

I wish you guys all the best on your way & I'm always happy to exchange experiences. Keep the good work up!
I kind of doubt that was the issue. Money is not the most important thing to most successful scientists. Impact and legacy dominate the motivations of senior researchers.

Which is part of the issue with science communicators. They have huge impact; Sagan’s fame was way out of proportion to the scope of his contributions from original research. He’s undoubtedly more well-known than almost any Nobel Prize winner.

I think there is also a category issue. If the members of the National Academy consider it a professional organization of the top working researchers, then a “science communicator” who has not distinguished themselves with original research simply would not fit the category (in their minds).
I agree and think the QE from March 2020 only lead people to believe that stocks are safe assets. Then again if The Fed keeps printing, maybe it all just keeps going.

Can you provide examples of your "good pointers"?

My experience is that the feedback provided by philosophers sounds good to the philosophers, but is actually useless to practitioners. And in technical subjects, like math, computer science and physics, it is important to develop a really good BS filter.

That said, I am also sympathetic to http://www.paulgraham.com/philosophy.html, so must admit some hostility to the current practice of philosophy.

"We're just protecting you" is a transparent excuse to rig the game. It's pulling up the ladder. If it was actually in the best interests of the people, you educate and give them tools. You don't lock them out. And you focus on preventing and going after the bad actors, the scammers.

There are several areas within 5-10 miles of Apple's Cupertino HQ that have no cell service - the nearby mountains lead to valleys where I assume it's not economical to install cell towers.
I can avoid thinking that as a species, QC is a bad investment. I think we’re trying just too early, like Charles Babbage. Great idea but the world doesn’t have the tech required.

I think that if they are honest with themselves, most researchers know they won’t see the day QC are a practical reality, but everyone is trying to become the “father of QC”.
> But NFTs are a technical detail

NFTs are a technical detail, but they're exciting. I'm also excited about webrtc and webauthn. These technologies enable new businesses to exist, like Uniswap.

> phone numbers are useful, but vanity phone numbers definitely aren't solving any problems other than proving you have one

Vanity phone numbers aren't a terrible comparison to the current NFT art craze.

But also, vanity phone numbers have been popular for as long as I can remember, in every location around the world. This has been true since the invention of the telephone.

It used to be that having a 212 area code number was very prestigious. That was true because it created the appearance of doing business in NYC, which meant you must be important. After all, your business exists in NYC!

Also every possible analog of vanity phone numbers that I can think of has been wildly successful. Squatting domain names comes to mind, but also registering your nickname first on whatever the next hot tech service is. If your Twitter username is <4 characters, you're probably somewhat important, because at the very least it means you were early to Twitter.

The article you linked about phone numbers is exactly the reason why art NFTs are working and will continue to grow.

> “This number gives the impression that I am distinguished, which helps me get business, especially among officials in the state ministries who I am dealing with,” he said. “If I call them from a regular number, they wouldn’t answer my call, but when they see this number, they can’t ignore it because they know a VIP is calling them.”

> “It helps me with marketing the company,” he said. “After getting one for $100, it’s helped my business grow.”

> “He cherishes it,” Mohsen said. “Just like wine, the older it gets the more valuable it becomes.”

This all seems like very normal human stuff to me.
I made no insinuation that you should buy everyone has to decide for themself. Now, based on current lending standards a $1mm home is not as far off as much as you would like to believe and it doesn't take a CEO salary to "afford" it, either.

But you can continue to wait and see if prices come down, which will happen when supply goes up, which will happen when the supply chain returns to normal, which will happen when manufacturing returns to normal.

The point being is there are a lot externalities driving home prices right now, and whether buyers can comfortably afford it isn't one of them.

> money supply

Be careful this is a dangerous notion: with today's form of fiat concurrency there is net 0 money!

> redistribution

Likewise the "re" is sketchy. The state can pull money in, and take it out. Keeping those balanced because metal bullion skeuomorphisms is confusing. Our insistence that all money is debt is "double entry accounting fetishism" and also needlessly confusing.

Distribution is good. "re" implies some sort of 0 sum, when the fact that the nominal need not be zero sum, and the future us uncertain and full of possibilities, and this is the true beauty of Capitalism we should embrace even as we are sanguine about all the terrible parts.

The methodology in https://www.gc.cuny.edu/CUNY_GC/media/LISCenter/pkrugman/ler... is much better. The state can print money. The state can destroy money. The state can issue securities. The state should not subscribe to any theory a priori, but simply do the simplest thing the achieve agreed-upon goals, and avoid agreed-upon bad things. Theory can be developed afresh, and with far better empiricism, by basing it on actual experiments of the state trying out different levers and seeing what happens.

Only a wealth of practical experience will overcome the highly politicized disputes. We will never achieve consensus while tiny gamut of the policy space is explored.

> The Fed’s role has expanded over the years, and its decisions often seem opaque and arbitrary. A small number of unelected people in a room dictate the price of money for a country of 330 million people, and can create new reserves out of thin air, or destroy reserves from the system.

I think it would be great if cash was a safe option. I.e. the rates offered would be higher than inflation, so that the value of cash is not eroded. QE leads to people investing in riskier assets, treating stocks like a savings account, which to me does not seem right.

What are your experiences with it? Is the alternative - going solo (for the time being) - worse? Should I just keep validating my idea and hope to find someone?

One crucial difference I was able to spot is that Demikernel seems to have an approach that can work for OSes other than Linux. To wit, examples of the performance of the Demikernel approach are shown on a Windows system running in Azure.

Interesting to not see Mikrotik on the list, though I'm not sure how far back you'd need to go to find hardware that's not still receiving firmware updates - certainly well over 10 years.
Related, I believe General Assembly's debt can only be discharged after 8 years of not finding any job that pays higher than $60,000(?). Notably, a $62,000/year job as the manager of a supermarket will count, and the number does not appear to be adjusted for inflation. So if inflation were (an admittedly eye-watering) 6% per year for the next 8 years, then any job equivalent to today's $37,700/year would prevent you from "escaping" the bootcamp debt.

Additionally, GA does not have control over the debt forgiveness, rather their underwriter (some financial institution) gets to make the final call...8 years from now.
A lot of these routers have DD-WRT, OpenWRT, FreshTomato or maybe pfsense support. Since the manufacturers long ago abandoned security updates and feature upgrades an open source firmware will vastly improve the security and the devices functionality.

Not all routers can run one of these firmwares but many can and I wouldn't choose a device that didn't in the future. Its relatively easy to setup a basic secure home router using a Raspberry pi 4 and USB Ethernet and then attach one to a hub and the other to the modem and you have a 1 gbit/s capable routing device that can do SQM and remove bufferbloat and not a lot of consumer routers can remotely achieve that level of performance.

It is more hassle than the manufacturers firmware, but its also a surprisingly good way to extend a routers usable life and functionality as well. VPNs, Virtual LAN, File and web servers or just better QoS you can do just about anything you might want.

Isn't this pretty par for the course when it comes to managed databases? Because the database is managed, they restrict super user access so you don't bork it.

Seems to be the case for AWS[1] and GCP[2]. Not sure if they have a workaround when it comes to `pg_restore` but my understanding was that if you wanted super user access to your database, you would need to manage it yourself.

There are at least two other important attack vectors against "sticky notes": accidental sharing through photographs and/or online meeting cameras, and visitors memorizing visible passwords. Both are defeated by hiding the sticky note below the keyboard, but my guess is that most people leave it visible on the monitor bezel.
