I can.

Doesn't require a 1.5GB build directory to make a 500MB binary that uses 3GB of RAM to display a chat client/music player/etc.
Often I see projects like Watson, Libra, Wave... which makes a very insistent voice say, the chance of this being real is really really small. This is completely anti-thetical to agile.

What is the chance that this makes it through the gauntlet of product-market fit in-spite of the massive marketing dollars behind it and actually becomes a useful thriving product?

I wish there was some way to short individual product or initiatives at tech companies. Perhaps it could create a feedback loop of sorts and actually be useful rather than just being a ego-validation mechanism for the shorters.
Escher or Kafka?

So far as I can tell, 2FA in a low touch environment means it is a matter of when not if you will be locked out without recourse.
Can I ask which news? I'm already a happy Fastmail customer, just curious.
I have one of the old gsuite free accounts with a personal domain, so my backup plan for that for the last ~15 years has always been "if google graveyard gmail, at least I can but mail service elsewhere and update my MX records".

Now they're going to start charging me for that, I'm considering which non-google mail option I will choose instead, I've been sticking with gmail against all my privacy and ethical objections, because it works so well and is free. It's no longer going to be free soon, and I'm pretty sure their competitors work as well as they do (or very close to), so I can _finally_ get over the inertia that's made me feel _almost_ bad enough to leave gmail but not quite bad enough to pay money or do the work required. Right now, it looks like Fastmail or Protonmail are going to get my money.
The faster we move from location/PINs sent to mobile, and other BS forms of 2FA the better...

"Do we really need comment section on blogs?"

I used to write a blog and the comments that readers posted were always a valuable part of the blog. Comments don't require sign-up depending on the settings of your blog (mine did not require sign-up).

Blogs without the ability to post comments are often static site blog generators - one of the reasons why I don't use them. (I don't consider embedding Disqus a suitable option for comments - a unpleasant experience for readers.)

A frequent occurrence: a blog has no commenting ability and instead the blog author encourages readers to discuss their blog entry on Twitter(?!), or Hacker News or some other discussion forum. For some authors discussion is not very important - it's more about sharing the story to as many sites as possible. I can understand that, but I hope comments remain an important part of many blogs.
It's a shame we never got a cross of Deep Blue and Battle Chess. Make those chess masters fight for their lives.
personally i think its a problem that a technology that is supposed to be the "future" requires so much institutional knowledge to even begin to discuss privacy improvements. If you want go write your own article that explains these technologies to the average twitter user and see how long it ends up being.
I grew up in Norway. During my childhood I never once saw a live gun in Norway. It was a shock visiting other countries in Europe and seeing armed police.

Norway is one of the most secular countries in the developed world today. The US is often used in Norway as an example of religion taken to the extreme, and it's often mocked.

Norway also has quite easy access to guns, yet the amount of gun violence is a tiny fraction of the US.
Actually, I specifically declined setting up a recovery phone number because I accessed it from the location where receiving codes would be impossible on my phones. I always accessed it from the same IP using my own VPN server, entered the correct password, and still Google decided that they are 'not sure that it is not really me, try again later'. No thanks.
I guess it's broken because it's been reduced from a game of progressive deduction to solving 1 5 letter anagram - not the original intent of the game.

I completely agree that it's a fascinating wider question I think I'm alluding to here - living in a world where AI/computer brute force can achieve everything is a going to be a strange place to live in in 50-100 years time. Do we want to make humans redundant in this way - sure this is just a silly game, but, as COVID has shown us the last couple of years, supply chains, logistics etc are all minutely tuned and determined by computers with little human involvement - is that a world we all want to live in, I'm not so sure.
So we agree 100%! We should talk more.
Thanks! Yes I am working on Mochi full time. I have plans to stop development, or sell the app. Plus I think there is at least some peace of mind in knowing that, since it is an offline-first architecture, you will always be able to use the app no matter what happens with development.

> So, the US govt printed an additional $2 Trillion last year. How many people did it lift out of poverty?

It devalues the dollars for everyone, so the rich gets a bit poorer overall (unless they get a substantial slice of that 2T$, which is likely if they take care of some government contracts), while the poor are poorer too.
I can read all day, but if I do nothing with what I read, it's mostly lost. If you don't have some project ready, try to pick some broad, long-term idea that you can steadily use as a mental focus when you're reading (and it doesn't matter how ambitious, this never has to go beyond plans). This helps me to connect my reading to my goals and previously retained knowledge.

If you discharge a gun in most European cities, I believe police will respond and will make sure you don't get an opportunity to do that again. I think many times if a gun is involved it results in a pretty serious response, potentially directly the local equivalent of SWAT. I'm pretty sure 30 gunshots from an apartment complex would be a full SWAT response.

As soon as a gun comes into play, police take it extremely seriously.

It seems like in some US cities not much is going to happen unless and until someone actually dies.
I also implemented essentially this algorithm. For guesses I always consider the full list of possible words, not just the list of possible answers. Doing so requires a check so words that have been excluded are only used if they're better than words that haven't been.
In most cases it’s easy to social engineer hosting company staff into granting unauthorized access (even the major ones) all it takes is a bit of know-how and maybe a photoshopped ID. The weakest link in any security stack is always the human element. The fact that Google makes it impossible to get in touch with a human is why I trust it.

2) try again with the recovery email

My problem was a) I didn't log in during the previous 12 months b) I moved to another country.

The edit came before your comment, but you must have had the page open already. The downside of HN being one of the last remaining major web 1.0 sites that doesn't change everything right under your efforts to interact with it.
Font licensing is annoying even for people in the industry itself – sadly a lot of it has to do with piracy and others who purposefully buy cheaper licences. Though my advice is to just look further, you won't see Monotype change their licensing model any time soon, but foundries like ABC Dinamo have made significant changes (like only taking company size into account, not users or pageviews) that others have started to adopt.
You still can if you muck around with the dark-UX flow.

the degree of using 'someone's service' when you host your own VPS on your own domain is quite a bit different from when you are using gitlab.
Also, every app uses the same font and colors, there is no animation, its very responsive.

At this point all of these companies building all of these services on the blockchain are really proving that people want trust based simple services.

HN outrage at Kafkaesque account lock-outs makes me imagine bureaucrats complaining about an approval requirement they themselves created. It is frustrating and I know data loss can be devastating. If people in the tech community individually follow basic security procedures, that helps us further discover pain points in the work toward better security. Who better to have to deal with these problems than people who focus on leveraging effort?
by offloading the responsibility of trust and accessibility onto middleware, blockchain has successfully reinvented the bank!

And moved more quickly on -

Before the time was gone.

I should have followed fancy, free,
Before it thought to fade -
I should have picked a good degree,
Or found myself a trade.

To share another's dreams -
I should have never welcomed love,
And lost it all, it seems.

No matter what you do -

They also do this thing now where they block [1] smaller browsers (even ones using the latest version of chromium) under the guise of security. According to their docs they're fighting MITMs by generally disallowing any browser they can't identify (so the big few).

If you're not on a whitelisted browser by Google, you can't log in (effectively, use) any of their properties.

This feels very anti-competitive to me. Notably all the whitelisted browsers are either theirs (Chrome) or sell them their search traffic. I'm building a browser for research [2] and have to frequently find workarounds. I'm not quite sure who I'd contact to get on said whitelist either...

> Unless you can mention a better one that’s just as simple

No. You can't judge a book by the cover and there's no point in complaining that people should give you a better metric "that’s just as simple".
I personally had a great experience with google support when I once stupidly locked myself out of my account. The whole thing was resolved in about 3 days.

However, google customer service is definitely erratic since loads of other people have had bad experiences. The best thing to do if you're using Gmail is to enable 2fa and backup the recovery codes offline and somewhere safe. This could probably get you into your account without needing to talk to support.
A PhD isn’t for everyone. It’s hard work for an uncertain future and in most cases not that much money.

If you are smart, driven by the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake and passionate about a difficult problem then go for it.

It’s like loving the hill climbs in the Tour de France.

And sometimes the commercialisation of and idea can make you rich but probably won’t.
But does it support multi tenant?
No - it's statistically unsound to focus on extreme outliers, even if they account for most of the economy. Suppose a single company accounted for 99% of the economy and was founded by an 18-year-old. Would that mean that we should expect 18-year-olds to be the best entrepreneurs in general? Of course not. You can't base broad conclusions on a sample size of one, even if that one is disproportionately influential.

Look at the top 20, 50, and 100 to get a better idea of whether the top 5 observation is robust.
> 2FA with Google Authenticator

I just wanted to recommend Aegis as an alternative to Google Authenticator. It allows backing up codes to an encrypted (password protected) file. Plus it's FOSS.
Yep. I've been a Fastmail customer for a while with a couple of my own personal accounts, but our family e-mail domain was a legacy GSuite account. I'd get pushback from my brothers when I'd suggest we switched to a paid service, because they didn't want to pony up for email accounts for their kids. Cheapskates :). But now Google is forcing the issue, and Fastmail is cheaper. And they have a $3/month account which is good for the kids who don't get tons of email.
I feel your pain. You’ll probably have better luck logging in if you add a hardware token or 2fa. most android phones have a built in hardware token, or you can buy a yubikey or the tokens from google (often on sale for $5)
To expand on this, because I think some of the confusion is probably from more basic concepts...

Clothing patterns, stitching, and details differ in manufacturing time and suitability for mass production.

The vast majority of clothing is optimized for production, because time is expense, and therefore less time is more profit.

In men's sizing, we generally come in fewer shapes. Square-to-athletic-to-slim fit + arm length + overall size.

But for most people, there's still going to be a delta between {hypothetical optimal fit} and {nearest mass-market fit}. So a nice shirt really starts at doing whatever it takes to get closer to optimal fit (even if it requires some difficult, hand-sewn-only magic) and adds better materials and finishes (buttons, button-holes, stitching, etc).

At the end of the day, it's kind of like watches though -- 95% of people won't recognize the differences. I got more complements from C-level folks on my $50 quartz Casio diver [0], because it copies a lot of Rolex details, than anything mechanical without plastic.

> you cannot load a child onto a vehicle thats 2 feet off the ground.

Even if you could, you still can't load kids in wheelchairs onto this bus.

Plus, there's the fact that there are kids who are inside the school's walk zone, or the part of the school's attendance zone the district has decided is too close to the school to be worth a bus trip. If the weather's bad enough that you're bringing out Frostilicus Maximus here, a number of parents in that zone will decide to keep their kids home and get rather irate when the school decides that such an absence merits an in-school suspension.
Immediate solution to try: Use a mail client to access your mailbox with IMAP or POP3; GMail may be more tolerant that way.

Long-term solution: Stop using Google. Why? Not just because of this type of shenanigans, but because Google spies on you:

* It keeps a copy of all of your correspondence, even if you delete it.

* (Rephrased) The US National Security Agency (NSA) has gotten access to much of your correspondence, by tapping links between Google's data center; it may still have such access today and Google's extent of collaboration with this is not known for certain (to me anyway).

* It uses your correspondence and other information about you allow commercial companies to manipulate you with advertisement.

(The NSA part was verified by Edward Snowden's revelations, several years back; see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-i... for example)

Now, no third-party mail service is perfectly safe; but you should want one which is at least somewhat-safe, and that doesn't treat you unfairly.

I won't make specific recommendations, but I've personally had decent experience with ProtonMail (Switzerland) and gmx.com (Germany).
> If the government intervenes, it would undermine the free market.

Good. Sometimes we need regulation, otherwise bankers would crash the economy while getting bailouts with taxpayer money, workers would be paid below minimum wage, child labor would be rampant, and so on. The government is supposed to represent the people, although clearly money is the real voting power today. I'd like to see John Deere get sued into bankruptcy and laws set in place to avoid predatory techniques like this moving forward. I'm not hopeful though, and the stock market has certainly voted in favor of John Deere.
You get a Windows Firewall prompt when an app wants to allow inbound connections, not outbound. This can include p2p technologies, most commonly things trying to register their own local discovery mechanism. If you don't use such inbound-initiated functionality it won't affect your outbound-initiated download requests.
That's nice anecdata, but there's still an obesity epidemic with at least ~70% of the US population being at least overweight and 40% being obese.

Despite obesity being a (if not the) leading cause of death, people are overindulging anyways.

It would appear that overwhelmingly people will act against their best interests if it just makes them feel good. At least when it comes to food.

I'm happy for you that you appear to be an exception.

I have 2FA and a recovery email on my Gmail account, yet I have run into this issue. If Google thinks something is suspicious, it will decline your 2FA codes and recovery attempts—it will just tell you that you entered the wrong code. Only after you finally get back in do you find an email in your inbox explaining that the correct code was entered, but Google blocked it because it was suspicious.

This happens to me from time to time, and the only way I can get back in is through Android. I keep an Android phone on hand at all times for this very reason.

Don’t blame the human for inadequate preparation; I assure you, no amount of preparation will save you from Google’s AI.
This isn't a complaint against Peabody. This is totally something I would do too in my own codebase too. I kept looking for the string "notclick" in the docs, I tried grepping every file, I tried github search entire org. It was both satisfying and laugh out loud funny at the final answer.

This is predictable and natural. Given alternatives, people don't want to unnecessarily interact with others. They don't want "civic participation," they don't want politics, they don't want regulations, and they certainly don't want the frustration of negotiating with people who value different things and work toward incompatible goals. An average person doesn't want a "society," he wants a house and a family he can defend physically, and the rest of the world and the people in it are at best an unpleasant afterthought and at worst a threat.

To the extent technology can help achieve this ideal, I consider it a good thing.

This is because most people use Gmail for basically all their online accounts: if you don't directly login to the site via Gmail, you can use your account to change your password. Imagine the damage which can be done if a malicious user breaks into someone's Gmail, if not your own, then the average person who uses the same password everywhere and trusts Gmail with everything.

Not defending the practice at all. It shows we as a society and Google in particular need better security if they are flat-out locking people out of their Gmail accounts and others are still being compromised (I know they are). I honestly support Google forcing people to use recovery addresses and 2-factor authentication but I don't support them making the recovery authentication not work and providing literally no options for a legitimate user.

I think the best you can do right now is complain on HN and Twitter and you'll probably get your account back. In the future, maybe if you have a YubiKey or stronger form of 2FA Google won't lock you out, because obviously if someone can authenticate with a YubiKey they are practically guaranteed to be the real person.
