> Apologies if I'm missing something, if it's easy to spin up unique identities on both what's the difference here? It seems like it would be one or the other.

Yes except for a centralized entity the admin would have recourse. How does a web server admin deal with it in the case of blockchain?

> I've seen posts on this forum about it. It happens and there's not much you can do if it does.

If we are talking about anecdotes I’ve seen people lose their private keys to phishing and consequently all of their money, so…

> You have to trust MetaMask to some extent, like any software you run locally, but MetaMask never gains control of your keys or identities, it's just a tool for using them (obviously 99.9% of users aren't auditing the code or building from source, but that's a totally different threat model). If MetaMask stops working for you, you can use a different tool with the same keys. If Google stops working for you you cannot transfer your account to Microsoft or Facebook.

This is not true, depending on implementation. Even if we accept what you’re saying as true you can run your own oauth server.

Basically it seems the entirety of your argument rests upon trusting a centralized service. However the scenarios posited by the author are ones where blockchain is used to login to a centralized service to begin with so I don’t understand the criticism. Furthermore, unless one is to accept the infinite possibility and quantity of accounts, inevitably just like most other identity services, blacklists will be created.

If that is not effective then blockchain will simply not be an option for most sites.

Ultimately this convoluted web3 is no better than using an email address forwarder and a regular email and password.
If VADOT were unable to sand and plow I-95 for this storm then presumably they'd have the same problem with the backup highway. I suppose given a bad crash then the backup highway would help, but in that case, detouring off the highway between the crash-adjacent exits would work too.
We already have the following kinds of 'security systems' that shoot rubber bullets.

Read the article again. She talks about Uber helping her business and that tips don't help her bottom line, which is... categorically untrue: they save her from having to pay her employees a living wage and hiring delivery people, which she would be paying a living wage to.

then she goes on a rant about how people don't want to work because "unemployment" during A PANDEMIC! Boo-hoo to someone who cares less about he health and lives of her employees than her bottom line. Again... this is coming from someone who is already financially stable with several successful businesses and a very successful spouse. Completely oblivious in her perspective.

Read the article again, this time slower and with fewer prejudices.

To point out one last thing: most restaurants fail. She is complaining about being successful but not as much as she'd like... while the US experiences a 4.2% unemployment rate, which is amazing given where we were a year ago. Talk about lacking any perspective.
Yes, I think if you washed your hands immediately afterward every single time, that it would be totally fine (from a first principles standpoint).
Or you don't know any self-styled "real Americans".
I am certainly not playing with semantics. I think you may be very confused about what an NFT is.

You may be familiar with JSON. Can you imagine a JSON document with a URL attribute? Now can you imagine selling that JSON document to someone else? That's an NFT (sans some crypto that makes duplicating that document impossible).

You may be familiar with HTML. Imagine selling a hyperlink to someone else. Literally the string '<a href="...">' tag. That's an NFT (sans some crypto that makes duplicating that string impossible).

Nothing is being sold other than the ownership of one unique JSON document or one unique HTML string.

If people want to believe that a picture of the Empire State building makes them the new owners of the Empire State building, I don't know what to say.
Sounds good-- I'll email you
> In terms of user experience, it's pretty obvious that GrapheneOS suffers by comparison. For example, the camera app isn't as amazing as it is on Pixel with full Google Android, and it probably never will be. You can install apps from the Google pay store with Aurora -- even things like Google maps and Gboard for swipe typing, but you will probably prefer them to be more secure and so you'll lock them down as much as possible, lessening their utility.

GrapheneOS recently added our own modern Camera app replacing the legacy AOSP Camera. You can also use the Google Camera app included in the stock OS on GrapheneOS if you want more features. It only depends on GSF which can be installed alongside it as another fully sandboxed app. They work the same way as any other apps. There's a guide on the camera at https://grapheneos.org/usage#camera. GrapheneOS has the same camera quality and features as the stock OS. It's the apps which are different, and you can use the stock OS camera app.

It's also possible to use Play services (GMS) and the Play Store as fully sandboxed apps due to the sandboxed Play services compatibility layer on GrapheneOS. You might be choosing to use it without that but it does have broad app compatibility for users who want it. You don't have to give up much to use GrapheneOS anymore. Not every Play services feature is available but the functionality that's available is steadily expanding as we make extensions to the compatibility layer.

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services

The compatibility layer enables using GSF, GMS and the Play Store as fully sandboxed apps with exactly the same restrictions and permission model as any other user installed app. That includes the improvements offered by GrapheneOS such as the Sensors toggle, Network toggle, stronger sandbox and other privacy/security improvements protecting the OS from apps.
Apple hates options of any kind. Their core ideology is "opinionated software". Meaning the software does things one single way, the way they intended, and it does that really well.

It sucks though if you really want things another way. Then you have to mess around with third-party addons that break every time there's a major upgrade. It's the main reason I moved back to KDE (and the OS being closed off more).

I would never choose to use Gnome for this reason because it does the same thing. But at least on FOSS we have many options available, to each their own!
I would like to submit some feedback on the teething process.
Another flippant dismissal that doesn't address what I said. I said nothing of anyone deserving suffering. Your snap judgement on the nature or reality based on a YouTube video doesn't mean that deep threads and traditions exploring the nature of reality completely ignore the existence of suffering.

> Your view is just some self-centered objectivism.

the irony of projection right here. Sneering at someone to prove your point is an effective technique to convince weaker minds to agree with you, I'll give you that, but it doesn't make you correct.
You prefer the T or commuter rail. That's fine and improving those modes of transit seems a fine goal as well. That preference/goal doesn't support an argument that the Big Dig solved nothing for those who choose to drive.
> who earn 3x as much as QA people

And never learned how to properly test software... Or earn 10x as much and consider it not a priority.
Just lie. Seriously, I am not saying you need to say you worked for X or Y when you didnt,but if you worked 4 years for X company and you have now a 2 year gap , say you worked for 5 years, and you have now 1 year as a freelancer or something to that effect. Dont play naive with the companies when they are willing to deceive you all the way.
I am very thankful that my youngest graduated high school in 2020. The last couple of months were screwed up, but there wasn't much real education lost by then; most seniors pretty much check out after Spring Break anyway.

I really feel for the kids who are younger. The effects of this are going to be with us for decades.
At this point Windows is largely running on inertia and the fact that, despite all its flaws, its competitors still somehow manage to have worse issues for most people. But at one time, it was actually a pretty damned consistent and user-focused OS.
Im so sick of the crystal hype squad trying to get us to rewrite our rust.
Nah. I am not the only one who used both and ended up using only windows.

Because, it was less work to use windows. I like programming, I even like configuring, but I want to do them when I want and not because I need to do something third and computer is failing.
Billions of people all around the planet both love some animals, and eat others.
They are the majority and your view is in the minority. Do you consider all of them to have a personal failure in this regard too? Nice attempt to try and single someone out personally though.
Blocking bad sites is just one side of the coin. You should also be able to promote sites that you are more interested in.

This is the goal of Entfer (Show HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29799867)

Entfer will in the future also allow you to bulk export and import your personal rankings, so that they can be shared on GitHub, for example.
What’s even the difference between «owning your digital identity» with email/password vs any other authentication method? Why does it even matter [0]? You don’t own any data connected to that digital identity [1]. I might be a bit on a radical side here, but to me it’s either you own everything or you own nothing. There’s no in-between.

[0] Except for OAuth since OAuth provider could ban you at any time.

[1] Until it's encrypted with your own public key and isn't stored anywhere in plaintext. Which can't be 100% guaranteed with any proprietary 3rd party service.
Right, time to make this into a Docker image and ship it to production
Transit still mostly sucks, but now driving sucks too.

And now bicycling and walking suck just a little less. That is a success.
Thank you! I just checked and it does not ignore markdown prefixed words.

Also, I found that `:syn off` gets vim to spell check within markdown formatting.

We manage quite nicely with the flu vaccine - every year a different vaccine based on epidemiological forecasting. Is there any reason it can't be done with COVID - the development of mRNA vaccines should make the task easier!
I think it is accurate to say things that boil down to "other people will expect you to {xyz thing}", which is not "no good reason".
A tamer version of the title would have prevented 50% of the comments at this time.

We can try "new evidence of an advanced society in the time of the biblical Solomon" would probably be a better fit.
We put everything on a plate and offer it to the child(ren). Then, if they become hungry later on, they can return to said plate and continue eating.

Dessert is considered "equal", so we place it on their plate. However, that also means that they can't raid the pantry for snacks afterward.

It seems to be working. Our oldest ate celery and peanut butter the other day, which is pretty unexpected to us.
I wanted to stop by and say thanks for cyberciti.biz! I've been using it since 2001-2002 when I got my first Verio Freebsd VPS and had to figure out what was going on.

When I see your site pop up in my search results I know the content is going to be more reliable than most of the others. Thanks for the effort you've put into it.
Isn't that kindof what the list of warnings below the message provides? I think you can click on them to expand them, and based on what's in the owner's manual I expect one of the warnings is about "components under voltage".
You could easily fit it all in a milk crate and shove it in the back of your trunk with your spare tools.
The geographical location is I-95 near Fredericksburg, VA if anyone wants to look it up on Google Maps.

I can't tell if this video is a deep fake or a modern compression algorithm but one of the guys stuck in the jam for 15 hours says he hasn't seen a single emergency or police vehicle https://twitter.com/DeFede/status/1478361020670394370 So I wouldn't be surprised if some political scandal comes out of this, similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lee_lane_closure_scandal

The function of government is mostly to do things like build roads, collect garbage, operate sewers, and segregate criminals. Roads aren't much good if the roads don't work. If the U.S. Government continues to fail at these kinds of core competencies then there'll likely be opportunities for truly revolutionary startups in the future.
It's not that industrial base.

If devices like the antikythera were commonly produced, we'd find more of them, and descriptions of them. This looks like a one-off achievement.

I'd rather say that this maybe more like a Saturn-5 of the day: a top achievement that required extraordinary efforts, and not very reproducible because of that. Most things around and in its production chain were not nearly as advanced.
‘The deep truth is that there is no truth’ type quotes are some of my favorite.
> This specification provides an API enabling a website to request a users federated credentials from a user agent, and to help the user agent store the users federated credentials for future use.

It would be nice if creating an account on a new website was as simple as a couple of clicks, and didn't require providing any personal information or anything linkable between sites.

I suspect, though, that websites (Relying Parties) will want some sort of guarantee that only one account per meatspace human is created on their site, to prevent Sybil attacks, and that might lead to there being just a short whitelist of acceptable Identity Providers (as is currently the case for much of the web).
I am all for “fake it till you make it” specially with “sophisticated” private investors’ capital. But what she, and her enablers, did with their clients’ health was criminal.
I'm not a doctor, but maybee yes, thought that itself does not really move odds in his favour, infact heart transplants are themselves very notorious for becoming cancerous.

Here's a study on a very small group (of 8 patients), https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7779860/

Now you'll probably need to get the insight of a real doctor to know the risk-effort-worth of going through such a invasive procedure.
I now believe that the downsizing of CA Ag is the best thing to do for our desert state. The policies and politics are absolutely nuts and all for a mere less than 50 billion dollars we get from selling lettuce and strawberries(can be grown indoors/vertical farms) to the rest of usa and almonds to most of the world.

in other words, we are exporting water at wholesale rates while creating no new tech or well paying jobs(most farm labour constitutes minimum wage paid illegal immigrants) for california during one more of our continual never ending drought cycle. the ag economy is about 350 billion. why? why are we clinging on to this dubious badge of honour? the ag emperor of usa is not wearing clothes.

what is the value of this expensive ag sector that still lags behind tech wise to the rest of the world.(The Dutch otoh..despite their own problems/issues..have been successful in selling tech to other countries..rabobank has done excellent job with WUR bringing saline ag to africa and bangladesh/indonesia as well as cutting edge indoor ag tech to china) we are probably better off being self sustaining and converting most of the existing farmland into open spaces or carbon sinks. we need water. water will soon become the most precious commidity. we are not doing anything for our water security.

i am not even touching the fossil fuel based production system and how we have poisoned our soil and the watershed. the costs for all of this is reverted back to the ca taxpayers but the benefits are sold at wholesale rates worldwide. what kind of dumbass economics is this?

there is another mandatory water restriction(15%) and residential water rates are continuing to sky rocket with these mandates. it makes no sense especially when we continue to insist on building more homes for jobs and people who cost more than they contribute to the state's GDP.

our population is 40 million. the math doesnt make any sense at all. the only numbers that makes sense is that the current regime is cultivating and paying a vote bank to keep them in power. often with tax monies collected from a highly paid tech sector immigrant population who bears the most burden and often cant even vote because they are taxed highly, but are almost always at the end of the immigration queue. no other rationalisation for ca's idiotic politics makes sense.
The universe isn't infinite either. But neither of those is the major error with his reasoning.
Yeah KDE's configurability is exactly what I want. 5.23 was again a great release.

This is really the power of Linux... You can make it what you want it to be.
You have every right to be annoyed that you’re stuck at the bottom, because losing sucks. Maybe it helps to remember the good things you have in your life (health/relationships). Also the tides can turn quickly. You might catch a lucky break or two. In 10 years who knows what your life will be like.
> The things children are born not knowing is crazy. The pre-programming is limited!

The one that blew my mind was, when you're out in the yard, playing with the running hose, and you decide to come inside for something, don't bring the running hose with you! Turns out kids don't automatically know that.
The DC area gets a "good" snow storm (≥6") about every 2 or 3 years. Typical behavior is to get a snow day the day of the storm and often the day after as well. Anyone trying to go anywhere during the storm is likely to have a rough time--the local streets won't see anything like a plow come through for a good long while, so it's not really sane to attempt to go anywhere. Even for smaller storms, only 1-2" total, shutting down completely for the day is pretty typical.
Did a Fire Just Burn Down Our Semiconductor Supply?
I don't believe anyone ever said it was illegal because cryptocurrency is involved... Indeed this thread started with the comment "[...] Putting utter ridiculousness of NFTs aside [...]

I'd also emphasize the fraud part more here, it's not just copyright infringement, it's lying about authorship for financial gain, that's a separate (and in my mind much more serious) crime.
The number of times I've picked up my phone to do something, see a notification, and completely forget what I had picked my phone up to do 5 seconds later is mind boggling.

I started pruning the notifications that I allow quite aggressively because of it, but it's still a very regular issue.
Although other books claim the title today, for a few decades "Lest Darkness Fall" was considered the first distinctly science fiction novel.

Especially funny for distributed around globe teams. When You spent half a day fixing a build issue from the "night" workers. Have eat a lot of this.
Messages are signed by cryptographic signatures so nobody can claim to be you.

This is how JWTs and many other protocols ensure message authenticity.
My kid (~2 years) prefers to eat food they like the taste of most.

Turns out that they prefer the sweet tastes of biscuits and even bananas etc to broccoli and carrots.

They'll whinge and whine about being hungry, so you offer them some peas or avocado or something and they will literally push it out of the way, look you straight in the eye, and tell you about how hungry they are (...but not hungry enough to eat the veggies in front of them!). Offer them crisps or biscuits or even just fruity-yoghurt and they'll scoff it down super-fast because presumably it tastes nicer.

Can't blame them really.
Ok, just compare the Metropolitan areas. The actual city of DC is 68.34 mi², smaller than Hong Kong. Still worse to get around in.
Ah, thanks! Seems that the weather info is only available for a Premium account though.

I'm getting a bit of a chuckle over these suggestions of "backup roads" and "alternative routes." NoVa is just as strapped for housing as it is for transportation. Mass transit in this area doesn't and won't work, no matter how much money is poured in, because much of it is not a "city" in the usual sense, but rather endless miles of suburban sprawl stretching from one horizon to the opposite. The only viable solution- though the idea seems to make people break out in a rash- is to move the capital. Move it somewhere central to the nation, geographically speaking, keep it as compact as possible, and for heaven's sake prohibit its use as a place of residence (ahem).
This is gold! Thank you for writing this up.

> I am not sure how that necessarily clashes with social structures inside the Scrum Team or micro manages its members.

I would expect emergent behavior from said team (which I consider a team; not a SCRUM team; a human team working on software) to be a better representation of who they are as humans and of how they best think they should organize in order to attain the company goals.

As for the micromanagement, I would love to hear an explanation of how SCRUM is *not* micromanagement when every day, a guy (which in my decade long experience has always been either a manager-role or someone wanting to be a manager) comes and gets the report on the tasks that you work to the granularity of one hour (sometimes even 30 minutes for properly crazy SCRUM masters) and intervenes afterwards if he considers it needed.

> Aren’t these interactions put in place to create transparency across the team regarding progress and purpose as well as empirical validation?

Depends on how big you think the team is... If we're talking about a small cross-functional team, I've never had as much transparency and signal over noise over progress, purpose as well as empirical validation, than I had working with a bunch of great people (healthy mix of junior, middle and senior), going out eating every day for lunch (usually more than one hour :o) and discussing.
If we're talking about the organization as a team, then yeah, clearly more transparency regarding progress for them because before this whole SCRUM thing they didn't have a load & run way of creating an analytics pipeline for their software projects.

Look, you're clearly in the SCRUM side of the stadium and I'm squarely in the emergent-process side, and it's been a discussion for aeons of which I am tired. What I am arguing is not pro / anti SCRUM, what I am arguing is that SCRUM as most enforced things "micromanage and/or ignore human psychology".
In the context of the larger game of Real Life, the NPCs get really mad if you lose one of the children. That's not fun at all.
Thanks, very interesting. I'll be looking into those protocols. Though I suspect these will not allow me to send some A/V stream from my desktop to my phone. Or from my phone to my receiver. Basically a protocol that allows anyone to just send anything from anywhere to any A/V device attached to the network.

With regard to AVB/TSN and specialized hardware. Would the $2500 switch from OP's article provide any benefits here?
