Thanks for confirming.

This is what's really, extremely troubling: some of the accounts (which had almost successful login attempts from the 160.116 range) here were created years ago. Mine was from 2017, others were too.

But a few reports, like yours, talk about recently created accounts.

In my personal case, I've never logged into that LastPass account since 2017.

So... was there a vulnerability back in 2017 and very recently? Or was this a recent vulnerability? Do the attackers have our master passwords, or did they discover some ability to counteract the master password verification, which is triggering those emails to be sent?
No, you are not looking at electricity generation. Here's the data: https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/pdf/sec7_5.pdf So far in 2021, coal has generated 719,038 million kwh out of a total of 3,142,341 million kwh.
I think it is pretty simple really. If your goal is reaching the largest number of people through communication, you kind of have to adopt whatever is "meta."
Aka the network effect.
It's not a workaround because it's not working.

> When I request a copy of all data Discord "has on me" I get only the messages I've sent (which is borderline useless), and I am only allowed to do that once a month, with a days-long waiting period.

What he is trying to paint as a broken feature is just compliance to GDPR and with that you only get your data.
As a frequent traveler I can’t imagine going back to physical SIMs, now I can carry all my data plans on my phone and don’t have to waste time looking for a place to buy a prepaid plan.

There are a ton of websites where you can immediately get esims for almost every country, why bother with physical sims?
The SIM vendor lock in does exist with the physical SIM card already, with the vendor sold phones.
Eh, I thought you were doing it to "teach a life skill", not to have someone else do the work for you.

My oldest is about to be 5. Not in the age to be doing laundry by herself, but I do get her to pick her toys up after playing or to set her bed in the morning, help take out the dishes after dinner, etc. The thing is that it takes me more time to make sure that she is doing things properly and learning to do things independently in the future that if I just went on and did myself. It's more work for me. Convenience is the last of my concerns.

The only advantages of discord over IRC or other things, is the chat history, voice, and the ability to delete messages.

Discord is made for gamers.

Not to mention each server has channels, which make it impossible to follow up certains topics. You can't even favorite a channel, and you have to "subscribe" to the whole server.

Oh yeah and a full electron instance, of I don't know how many megabytes, just to display images, gifs and a certain interface style.

I hope the low tech trend comes back.
The latter point makes some sense and is a benefit often pitched to employers considering going remote.

On the general search, “EU” might not be specific enough, as different countries in EU still have wildly differing employment policies, some of which are uncompetitive when an employer can easily choose to avoid them. The Netherlands and France are both “EU” but worlds apart in terms of employment policies.
Even your basic phone results in your location being tracked since this is done through the cell towers. Whether any phone actively eavesdrops or “listens” is still an unconfirmed conspiracy, but in terms of basic phone calls and text messages, calls are all unencrypted and can be tapped and text messages are recorded. Even if calls aren’t recorded by default (they may be by nsa), there’s a record of the metadata of every phone call you’ve ever made or received.
Thanks a lot for confirming. Many accounts such as yours and mine were from years ago, but there are a few reports here in this thread about accounts created this year.

It's becoming harder to find a common thread between all of us.
Sure. It is presently.
>The article doesn't go into specifics as to the cost of removing carbon. I imagine those costs will drop as technology approves

I'm skeptical any tech would go below the price of simply planting trees or growing algae.
I wonder if there's a jobs dir for non-profits etc.
I don't keep track of that, but I'll take your word for it. It doesn't invalidate what I said though. NFTs have more purposes than selling "stolen" art.
Whatever way you go about it, ultimately carbon has to be left in the ground.

Norway's policy is to not leave anything in the ground. Even when you think maybe economic pressures will limit it, instead Norway subsidizes search for new fields. From the profit estimates of e.g. Johan Sverdrup, you can directly see that Norway thinks the world will NOT limit its oil consumption very much (and it will probably lobby against attempts to do so e.g. through coordinated carbon taxes). Our investments speak louder than words: we're betting on climate disaster.

It's going to be hard to convince other countries to leave anything in the ground, if you can't even convince Norway.
Interesting. I’m curious though, how many of them claimed to be God? How many of them fulfilled over 300 prophesies written hundreds of years before their birth? And how many claimed to have died for the sins of the world?
I have some Hi-Tec-C pens I got from them in 2009 still on my desk right now. The FOMO is real with their products even if I hardly write.
I can confirm this testimony. Managers and directors are doing everything they can to keep people in the building, despite more than 10% of employees testing positive for covid last week.
Hmm, do you have any more specific examples of typographics being a deal breaker ?

MHTML (aka .eml) is usable offline too (except for some reason by Firefox ?!?), while PDFs are horrible on screens smaller than the width of a page.

I'm not sure what interactive annoyances on scientific websites you're talking about - the most problematic ones these days are those with the assumption of a working Java or Flash plugin (and if they start to be plagued by irrelevant scripts it's much easier so far to block JavaScript in a browser than in a pdf reader), meanwhile many pdf readers don't even have any animation support, which is about content rather than presentation ! (As a metaphor : would you support a format unable to show pictures ?)
Myocarditis Data from Ontario Province: Specific Vaccine and Interval Doses
How do you take meetings? I’d love to work from a cafe. But I just have too many calls or people asking for help on a 1:1 to be comfortable being “that obnoxious guy” on the phone all the time.
Sports and musical instruments - if you can keep them motivated/interested, the results of focused practice can’t be ignored.

To some extent I only realized this late in life myself. I don’t play a musical instrument, schoolwork through undergraduate never required really hard work and as an athlete I was a lackluster football player who never really put in the time to get better. But as an adult, computer programming and crossword puzzles were things which I applied myself to and was astonished to see how much better I could get at them by putting in the time and effort. (That being said I am an awful teacher - as an autodidact myself, I often - unfairly - feel that others aren’t putting enough effort in.)
.dev is controlled by Google. If you don't want Google to have the final say over the domain of your project, I would personally choose .org.
Where is the clickhouse data stored, in the Docker container?

For reference, here's what I'm using: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/blob/master/...
Yeah, totally agreed and all great points.

I also generally am more suspicious of the idea that they sat on the credentials for years. Although that is not impossible.

One disproving fact (of sitting on the password for years) is that a few people here in this thread confirm having a login attempt from the exact same ip range, but with an account that was created this year -- in one case, in November 2021:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29710262

So... it might turn out to be a much more recent vulnerability after all.
I cannot read German but the paper the article references is in English here https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3949410

“ The effectiveness against severe illness seems to remain high through 9 months, although not for men, older frail individuals, and individuals with comorbidities. This strengthens the evidence-based rationale for administration of a third booster dose.”

Possible difference between the Swedish study and the CDC - time period comparison of 4 months (120 days) vs 9 months (270 days) - differences in Swedish population or statistical errors.

Just eyeballing CDC data on who is dying of coronavirus it’s very hard to see how any statistical analysis could show the vaccine not “working” - the smaller unvaccinated population is making up a majority of hospitalizations and deaths in the USA, and most vaccinated persons haven’t received a booster in USA.

Does anyone have experience with alcohol based markers? Which paper would you recommend for such markers?
People are saying this is bad because you won't be able to swap phones without relying on the carrier to provision a new eSIM for you. I have the same gut reaction, but with my current physical SIM, I have to install the carrier's app, and there are many phones which don't work with my carrier, despite being unlocked phones and unlocked SIMs. And let's not forget that locking phones and SIMs has been common practice for awhile. So, while I don't have a good feeling about this, I'm not sure that the freedom of choice argument really holds water.
> eSIMs are good but it doesn't eliminate the bureaucracy/paper work involved with acquiring an actual network connection

Of course they do, eSIMs allow companies like airalo to exist. Surely Apple moving fully to eSIMs will bring even more competition to this space.
Best interview questions/tasks ever!
Sorry, you can't.

The e-SIM provisioning process is under the control of the carrier. They give you a QR code (or SM-DP string) which you scan/enter, your phone then contacts the carrier and after some back and forth acquires cryptographic keys which are stored in the eSIM chip.

There is no way to extract these cryptographic keys and enter them into another phone. Instead, you have to repeat the whole process and get a new QR code from the carrier. They may charge for this, or just be a pain in general and make it difficult or refuse for whatever reason.

I can see them taking advantage of this to prevent travellers using local SIMs for example - sure you can delete your eSIM and get a local one, but getting your own eSIM back will be difficult or outright impossible if you're still travelling (they may require physical ID verification, etc).
Looks like a company with poor tech culture, I am not sure it is specific to France and could be seen in any other places.
> What will it cost if the climate exceeds the Paris Agreement temperature goals this century—even if we later remove carbon dioxide from the air and manage to bring temperatures back down to meet those targets by 2100? And how does that compare with the costs of staying below those targets?

Those questions may be good ones for people who are concerned about climate change, but who is going to be persuaded to take action by the argument they induce?

To be persuasive to consumers now, a cost comparison has to appeal to the consumer's hip pocket right now. More like one of these format:

Are you paying too much for gas? Click to save 25% on your next tank.

Save 47% on home heating costs this winter.

Send your kids to college with the money you save over the lifetime of your next car.

It's difficult to do in the context of the article but that's what's required to change behaviour.

Well, it isn't the only thing that's required. What is also required is the alternative energy products to be available to consumers at attractive prices.

How do we make that happen?

As an ordinary person who pays for energy but isn't an energy scientist, I don't know. That's why I'm still spending $700 a month on fossil fuels.

But give me a way and I'll click on it.
Things are worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay. There are no other reasons involved. Taste doesn't matter, history doesn't matter, material doesn't matter, the creator doesn't matter.

The highest bidder does have his reasons, but they can be very different from person to person.
Carriers can also configure physical SIMs to only work with certain equipment.
>Why do they feel the need to do this?

Because of a history of archeology degrading the people of the region, perhaps, and a desire to apply the same civilization-building moral standards to Africa as the rest of the world?

A 250 meter long wall, 11 meters tall .. made out of nothing but bricks (no mortar, remember) .. surviving mostly intact after 10 centuries? That is definitely a triumph of engineering, by anyones standards ..
Does it have to be that hard though?

From a user point of view, RSS readers are easy to come by.

From a server point of view, I think a raspberry pi build that scripted most of the setup, is an achievable goal. Not an easy one, but doable.

Sadly, even if you made it super easy, most folks would stick with the big names. Still, it could be nice to start a little community of self hosted sites...
Cloud security in 2022: stormy horizons, shaken trust, and lack of talent
It exist, yes. But isn't used much in practice (where I live at least). I think it is illegal to charge to unlock them so the incentive for them to exist disappeared entirely.

Which kind of highlighted that it was a dark-pattern that only served to trick customers.

Kind of reinforces the notion that we should be worried...
The T480 is 30% thicker than the new Macbook pros. I just got the 14" macbook pro and personally I think it's already a bit beefy.
Good point. I just presumed there was a general pattern at play - I guess because the OP's statement didn't mention any specifics that imply a sudden change in what they process. But yes, for certain types of a fraud it's entirely reasonable that Stripe have an immediate blocking function of sorts.
I contacted LastPass support twice over the phone about the suspicious login attempts. I was shrugged off twice.

I contacted them again by email yesterday, adding the link to this thread, and mentioning the number of similar ip addresses that all attempted to login, presumably with the knowledge of the master password (or a workaround around it? or the password's hashes?). I'm hoping it gets escalated.

Also, I have not contacted LastPass about the error that shows up when deleting an account. I'm keeping my account around since I want to have access to the entry logs related to all of this for now.
Light based computers work best on linear operations. They are extremely unlikely to work well for computing hashes.
This is stupid, your carrier could IMEI lock physical SIMs if they want. eSIMs change nothing, the control you speak of is just a delusion.
More sermons, and it isn’t even Sunday.
Philosophy isn't so much about producing conclusions for others to adopt as doctrine, but the process of arriving at conclusions for others to model, which makes trains of thought that lead to contradictory conclusions especially interesting to study.

As long as there has been philosophy, there has been sophistry. The adversarial use of bad (but very convincing) arguments was a problem in ancient Athens, and it's a problem today. If you can't even find the fault in an argument made in good faith, you're absolutely helpless when the faults are made in bad faith.
> [headers] There is some kind of message matching algorithm, which looks at the "subject" of your e-mail.

There are dedicate headers fields for that purpose, they are set automatically.
Could Apple permit you to store multiple provisioned eSIMs on one device, and switch between via UI?
Yeah, its the 'knowing beforehand' part that makes this dangerous for me. ;)

Cute trick though, will work it into my workflow and see how it feels.
We Can Finally Do Away with the Accursed Beep-Beep of Heavy Machines
Right, but we shouldn’t recklessly pollute on the basis that we don’t know for certain that it will bite us in the ass later. Banking on technological advancements so we don’t have to reform our energy sector and make our various manufacturing and shipping networks efficient is pretty foolish.
There’s also the moral hazard problem.

Yes it’ll be more expensive to remove carbon dioxide from the air in the future but i will be dead by then, so why do I care? Also this moral hazard is made worst by decision makers whose financial outcomes are tied to not adopting extreme climate measures.

Especially those without children, taking the long view of society seems to be very difficult.
>> Amazon makes this product.

No. If I were arguing the case I would phrase it as "Amazon provides this service". This is not a manufactured product but an advice line. Whether Amazon chooses to automate that line, or staff it with real people, or at least have a person vet recommendations ... such are Amazon's business decisions for which they are liable. The augment is not that the phone is defective but the service behind that phone.
Complexity wise it's CH552 < PIC18F < RP2040 < ESP8266
“Imagine your great grandparents saving their pennies to buy a nice set of doilys to pass down to you?”

I’m not sure this is an appropriate metaphor.

Partly because a doily in your example is construed as an asset, whereas adaptation to climate (our bequest to our grandchildren) is a cost.

Secondly because apportionment of the costs and benefits will not be equitable. In the west, we benefit disproportionately from burning fossil fuels, but it will be future people in developing states who disproportionately bear the costs.

Thirdly, because the costs of climate change might run very high indeed. Look for reviews of Nordstrom’s climate economics to understand some of his appalling modeling assumptions.
That was a good read! Thanks for the links.
You must really hate your grandkids.
Well yeah, but while I am a professional, I am not earning $300k plus. So some budget constraints apply. Ironically, I might have considered an Apple Pro Display when it came out, if Apple had sold a computer to go with it :p. Now with the M1Max laptops, things are starting to look differently.

But there are several issues with the Apple Pro Display if you are not a video artist:

- it uses a lot of power and even requires a fan.

- it does have only one input port. Of all companies, Apple might consider the use case that you need to connect your (work) laptop and your (private) Mac to your screen.

So the price isn't only pretty much outside of the budget of most mortals, even if you treat it as a once in a lifetime luxury expense, it is quite limited. I so hope either Dell makes a screen with the same panel, but with ports ans somewhat less expensive, or Apple makes a consumer screen again, I hope so much it is larger than 27", I find this size too limited. And if they do, please give it more than one port.
It was a long while ago I last watched SpongeBob but I seem to remember that some of the timecards were comically short, like "2 seconds later", hence I included that. But I might be wrong.
Hard to imagine cheaper than planting trees -- but turning atmospheric carbon into rock takes it out of circulation permanently, and with effectively no space constraint.
Exactly. I moved to Discord for VoIP gaming from Ventrilo which was proprietary, centralized, and subscription-based. It also had terrible latency. I moved our entire gaming team of 30 people to it. Mumble already existed, but it lacked a few pros Ventrilo did not have. Discord had so many pros that it outweight the cons, and on top of that: the main con (our privacy / data gathering) is practically invisible.
Exactly! We're all free, and that freedom includes the right to be self-contradictory.
How do you know?

@dang perhaps my previous comment didn’t deserve to be flagged?
Your mobile network provider demands you to install an app? Thats… unique in my UK based experience.
Over here any provider apps are entirely optional and just a convenience AFAIK; and phones you’ve bought outright (or reached the end of the contract period on) are unlocked (or you have the right to have them unlock it).

Thats why this is a big change and potnetially bad news for many smaller UK operators who don’t currently have eSIM support baked into phones
Ivanti (former MobileIron) was introduced to me as the Bentley MDM solution which was totally true. There are newer MDM solutions out there even with their own GitHub repo where they share some of their code.

Windows only or mixed?
Only PCs or maybe mobiles (Android/iOS)?
Do those PCs have vPro?
Is BYOD a thing?

There is no "best" solution. Just the one that works best for you ;)
Textbooks, sure - other publications with many diagrams - that's my whole point, no (the fixed format often makes understanding worse because they can't just put the diagram in the specific spot that refers to it, and finding that spot is additional work) - also pdfs only really support fixed, non-interactive diagrams.
Not sure where to start with this bizarre criticism of philosophy...

You're somehow conflating learning the history of your own field to being self-obsessed. Almost all of social science and humanities education starts with a history introduction - the origin of ideas, the development of the field, etc. Is literature self-obsessed too, because they read Homer? Your analogy with phlogiston completely fails, and not just for that, but because revisiting ancient philosophical ideas is not the same as reconsidering outdated scientific theories. Your source of misunderstanding is captured in your criticism that philosophers are incapable of

>abandoning philosophies long disproved

If you think philosophy can be proved or disproved, then you don't get it. Philosophy produces arguments, and some of those may be stronger than others, but there is very little in philosophy with unanimous agreement. I think _your_ ignorance, ironically, is what makes you believe that certain ideas are ignorant. For example, here you say that philosophers

>can't teach you about Descartes' epistemology without also getting into his ignorant dualism

I say this as a non-dualist - the debate on the philosophy of mind is far from "proved" or "disproved", and moreover your suggestion that Descartes' dualism should somehow be removed from the curriculum is ridiculous. The point is that philosophy students have the opportunity to debate and think about this stuff, rather than just accepting it as dogma. So even if we were to reject an idea entirely we'd still teach it to new students. (Not to mention that separating Descartes' epistemology from his metaphysics would be a terrible pedagogical idea.)

But what's even more bizarre about your comment is that all of this is pretty much irrelevant because in actual philosophy education and literature today the kind of ancient ideas you're attacking are never the core stuff. They might be used as intro or historical material but you're exaggerating the extent to which they take up the curriculum. The whole thing is a strawman to be honest from someone who I doubt has ever studied philosophy in a university.
That's highly dependent on where you live though. Never even heard of it in many many years.
I have literally never had to worry about my phone not taking the SIM out of the box. Put the SIM in, maybe reboot, and I'm off to the races. Is this a USA carrier thing??
If this is a thought experiment it’s an interesting enough read.

If this is meant to be practical it is some wicked cart-before-horse thinking. To put it bluntly, VCs wouldn’t want to use Monopoly money and chance cards to fund anything unless the USA and EU agreed that stealing Monopoly money was a more serious crime than absconding with a board game.
