If you work on client projects in a small team then a functional spec can help you keeping everything conceptual in one place and have a basis for discussion. It doesn’t have to be the most elaborate thing. A smaller project gets a few pages with some pictures, a more involved one has more explanation and database diagrams, a few stories and such.

You do this work anyway, so why not write it down in a structured way? Pragmatic and simple but clear and neat.

You’ll find that people do not tend to read every detail, but you can refer to the details when needed, which is very useful.
Have an electronic version of it (the main version)

1. Update it every year or so, and
2. Everytime you update it you print a copy version and distribute that as needed.
You could! My point is that it is a bad thing. People shouldn't see social relationships as a market with pseudo-economic value attached.

There is also the possible point that Tinder, for instance, isn't an app to create "meaningful" social relationships, only hook ups.
Most news websites try to get more access to click bait or sell the most "hot" info via subscriptions.

To get more knowledge in world economics in economics/finance in general i suggest to look for videos/books that explain the economy in the past and the rational behind it.
I think so, but in saying that, I never go to one even though I have a bunch of projects that'd be great to work on that I don't have the equipment for at home.
I stopped reading these crypto blogs/twitters with anime/pepe emojis. This market is full of grifters, I don't trust anyones intention - and it's difficult to ascertain any conflicts of interest.

What happend to the so called leak that was all over HN last week, disappeared into the "ether" - pun intended.
It’s the same kind of insane lack of critical thinking that led people to be being buried alive because no one thought to check for the existence of a heartbeat despite heartbeats being known about since… forever
Order matters. Lets say you already have a registered yubikey or similar smart card. The /etc/pam.d/sudo file might look like this:

# sudo: auth account password session
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth required pam_opendirectory.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_permit.so

So if for some reason you want to have both Touch ID and the smart card authentication as options you might want to do this:

# sudo: auth account password session
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth sufficient pam_tid.so
...

It will ask for smart card first but if a smart card is unavailable or authentication fails the touch mechanism will be requested. If you invert those parameters the order also gets changed.
Currency did and has its uses unlike Crypto which is running on promises.
And everyone hates promises in Javascript.
Even RTS got their Age of Empires remakes, Iron Harvest and is gearing up for a new Company of Heroes.

And I've probably missed some too - e.g. Total Warhammer / TW: Three Kingdoms might even fit into the RTS bucket.
I love using sudo with Touch ID and have been using this trick for years. The only inconvenience is that the PAM configuration always gets reverted by OS updates.

I wrote a small tool to mitigate this by configuring PAM on system startup: https://github.com/YuriyGuts/persistent-touch-id-sudo
> Similarly, due to different funding models, private healthcare can give drugs/perform procedures which don’t have a good cost/benefit analysis but the customer doesn’t mind paying for.

Private healthcare causing harm by over-testing, over-diagnosing, and over-treating is not an advantage.
Plus of course they mostly run their drug operations using USD, so if your definition of "uncensorable money" is that people are able to do something to a limited extent illegally if they can obfuscate their relationship with the publicly visible part of the transaction and avoid asset seizure, we had it before blockchains were invented...
If I remember correctly, he said that the release would happen today.
They don't become cynical; they just don't really give a dam about pain, unless you are a high paying client.

And in this climate of all opiates are the devil, I get it.

We are in a weird state in pain managment.

We essentially don't have anything to cure chronic pain, except cutting nerves.

Opiates make people feel better physically, and emotionally.

They are addictive because they work. Unlike all those tricyclic/heterocyclic drugs.

Young people should never be on opiates, except during surgery.

Old people in pain should not be denied the drug. It should be a right.

(There are numerous studies of older people being given opiates for pain/misery, and most studies they did not want to increase their dosages.)
Crypto BTC is following the stock market which is also crashing, but I guess that would generate fewer clicks.
I always felt that the way to create new processes and new threads should initially start the same. A new process is simply a thread that after creation does a syscall to isolate itself from the other thread and receive a unique copy of all resources.

This could also solve the issue with forking from multithreaded programs since we can ensure we own all shared resources when we isolate our thread, to effectively thus become a new process.

So instead of fork we have clone/isolate.

A new thread can also of course immediately suspend itself, allow other threads to work on it's data in some way, who then give it a signal to resume itself and then execute if need be.
I'll continue to use mute point.
I'm not gonna try to defend GPs theory, but you're misrepresenting their post. The claim was that women supposedly "fought" for those "5%", in the context of dating apps. OP didn't claim women exclusively dated them or ended up with them in the real world. There's no "man in a suit denying advances". This is Tinder, people can just swipe to one direction or the other.
This - heck, even Last of Us II has done some very innovative storytelling beats (and pissed off a lot of fandom in the process because it wasn't a cookie cutter Hollywood story). Not just AA, AAA games have never really been more diverse.
Even if it's small, the Option/Result style exceptions always have overhead in at least a limiting case whereas the unwinding style exceptions are basically zero cost with a modern compiler - the debt is paid in the implementation being tricky.
This happened to me when I didn't put the pam_tid.so line right under the first line.

Mine looks like

```

auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so

auth sufficient pam_tid.so

auth required pam_opendirectory.so

account required pam_permit.so

...

```
When you can’t write a functional spec of something, then exploration/prototyping is in order. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t write one when you can. It’s very useful to get people on literally the same page.
At first I thought "bleh, typical negative HN comment", but then I read the article and am left with the exact same question. Isn't this just IPFS with heavy backing?

I guess that is the difference though; the backing.
> Go to a place where there are a lot of women

Literally anywhere, they are 50% of the world population

> The simplest example is dancing class(es

In what sitcom universe is dancing classes the simplest example of a place to find women? Also not a dating place, they are there to learn to dance.

> Become the top 5% guy there (not 5% in dancing, top 5% male in general) and see.

Do you need a card? Or is this one of those "if you are 6ft tall and rich women swoon over you like a disney movie" spiel?

I have danced a lot and trust me, people who go in front of others and can dance, even if they are average, get way more attention than pretty boys who sit standing still in the back acting like they are too cool. Courage, getting out there, skill, practice, being fun to be around, are skills people value much more than looks.

Btw see how I said people all the time and not women, because those skills work beyond dating, even if they certainly work for dating.
(I'm joking, but curious) How difficult would it be to implement and oximiter-like sensor along with touch id, to at least make sure blood is pumping through the finger?
It still does this and I like it. I do worry that the answer to the brexit question (good/bad?) is perhaps too diagnostic for me, but much better than cliched bios that all read the same.

I wonder though if there is room for a. It’s transparent not for profit dating app? It feels like the incentives currently are misaligned with either individuals or societal benefit. All the apps seem to be optimism for engagement and stickyness rather than well considered matches and good conversation.
Even the fact that the chat functions in these apps are so bad belies this… it doesn’t really reward them for you to meet and stop using the app!
Imagine Microblades: standard Android phone form factor slide in servers.

Building a home lab k8s cluster by buying something similar to a phone.you could go to a website say if you want a display or not, how much storage and than you have a flat server you just slide into your case.

Then a few years later you buy a stronger one and replace it while the old one is used by someone else.

Like how a Nas manages your disks, k8s could manage your Microblades.

Cheap ha with Autoupgrade capabilities.

I could also start using the outdated Microblades for offshoring when I keep them running at my parents place.

The enclosed could also provide networking and perhaps a 13" slide out display with a display selector.
As investors, we have no more knowledge of how well the team works together than that they failed to build what the market wanted. That is their only track record as a team.
Unfortunately, this resets after every macOS update, which is very frustrating, and also absolutely ridiculous.
AKA dumb.

Some of these farmers are the same morons who expanded their planted acreage by 20% or more AFTER depleting their groundwater to the point where it's too brackish to use.

Then they line the highway with signs blaming politicians for the lack of water. I kid you not.
iTerm 2 password manager is a close no hacks required solution that's slightly more involved but not all that much - add your password and on sudo prompt hit cmd+shift+f, touch id and enter.

The touch id part is once per iterm session so overall it's not too bad and reasonably secure as it uses built-in keychain to store passwords I think.
In the spirit of the OP, and finding an enduring solution... something like the deadmans switch should be implemented in a de facto utility like browser password recovery but extended with a weighted audience tied to the time elapsed. Why not have that same function that keeps up with your authentications notify X audience in Y time - 30 minutes even or 30 years with an emphasis on how perpetual. Reasonably I say we all got a good hundred years to plan for.
The two iconic texts are:

- "The Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joseph Tainter (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Complex-Societies-Studies-Ar...)

- "Normal Accidents" by Chuck Perrow (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Normal-Accidents-Living-High-Risk-Tec...)

Tainter deals directly with the Roman Empire, but the nutshell is the cost of complexity begins to outweigh its returns, requiring more and more resources just to maintain the status quo, until the entire thing becomes weak and susceptible to failures large and small.

- "Panarchy: Understanding Human and Natural Systems" (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Panarchy-Understanding-Transformation...) is also a fantastic book drawing from ecosystem science and proposes a general model for this. It's pretty well accepted in ecological circles but has been criticised for a lack of empirical data. The general model is the same as Tainter's though.

- "The Logic of Failure" by Dietrich Dorner is also a classic! (https://www.amazon.com/Logic-Failure-Recognizing-Avoiding-Si...)

Well worth reading all of the above.
So, as nickelpro states, I feel like a QC that is actually general purpose (which is probably a better way to state it) is so difficult at this point to even imagine, it's hard to say it will become a thing absent some breakthrough that is hereto unknown. You probably could state it as an energy cost thing by somehow deriving how much energy it would take to keep millions of quibits from decohering by extrapolating from how much energy it takes to keep a few from decohering, but I'm not even sure you can extrapolate that far out since as you increase the number of quibits the required energy probably isn't linearly related to the number of quibits but it is some power law or worse. Remember, the number of quibits we can run is in the dozens today, the numbers you need for Shor's algo or just general purpose computing is likely in the millions.

For quantum people, the QCs are already pretty cool because they can do simulations of quantum systems like molecules and atoms that are just infeasible on classical computing (high performance computing, ie. supercomputer) systems, things that would take probably years (yes years) of wall time on a HPC system. The thing is the number of required quibits for modeling these types of molecules is likely in the dozens to 100+ quibits, which looks possible now since there are systems out there that, while noisy, do have dozens of operating quibits.

If you're curious what these simulations are for, it's doing things like calculating energy levels for certain molecules, which materials science people care about and will help them make the next generation subtrate for a computer chips, etc etc. So it's not entirely esoteric stuff, it will be things which will eventually make it into actual products and technology people use, but it definitely is NOT general purpose computing, even less so Shor's algorithm or breaking encryption.

That would have to get fixed by the corporate maintaining that SSO. I even tried whitelisting domains, but it's also PITA since MS redirects you through 10 domains or so. Now I'm using cookie autoeater almost everywhere... so feel free to save your cookies, as soon as I close the tab they are all gone. I have to login every time, but saved passwords solve it reasonably well.
Doesn't this block ssh (headless) access ?
The Royal Mail and other postal services normally tell you not to send cash through the mail, because their employees may steal it.
Around 2014, I read a security researcher's article stating that biometrics should be used as an identifier at best, but never as a password.
“You can change a password, but you cannot change your fingerprint”.

From that day on, I’ve never used biometrics system used as authentication.

With a increasing use of biometrics on phones, should I think differently in 2022?
> you're misrepresenting their post.

thats true, I replied to what they implied rather than what they said. And then they replied and proved what I had read between the lines is what they meant.

> The claim was that women supposedly "fought" for those "5%", in the context of dating apps. OP didn't claim women exclusively dated them or ended up with them in the real world.

If you fight for something, then your attention, time and effort is spent on that. The resulting relationships would therefore just be women spent from trying to get with those men and settling for everyone else, again something demonstrably false by the countless happy couples out there. It would be impossible if the basis of 95% of them was a tired, desperate women who ended up with Craig cause that top 5% man said no to her repeatedly.
Thanks man! I misunderstood the whole thing!
Just go with that. Far from being a hack, converging Unix-like system configuration from scripts run out of cron is downright mundane.

It's unclear to me if Touch ID already ignores dead tissue. I can find some reputable sources claiming it does, but there seems to be a lack of consensus.

> Mashable repeatedly asked Apple, Google, and Samsung for comment on the matter, but received not a single response to our numerous inquiries. We also reached out to a host of biometric security experts, hackers, digital law experts, and forensic pathologists in an attempt to get to the bottom of what has passed from the realm of dark thought experiment to serious inquiry, but the responses (or lack thereof) only further muddied the waters.

The articles I find claiming touch ID rejects dead fingers seem to be written by people who have no idea what they're talking about, so I would not take claims about its liveness guarantees (hah) seriously. People mostly seem to be confusing credible claims about rejecting e.g. pictures of fingerprints with incredible claims about detecting if a piece of tissue is alive or not.
Wow I had not thought about losing my own memory. This is my first step in untangling that mess that I have made whole also reducing dependencies on myself.
Exactly! In my experience, a chef will do reasearch (they have a ton of notes/books/recipes), then combine some stuff and try things, but then will 100% write things down.

Documentation is a key ingredient in cooking.
May I ask, why does the intelligence and sociability of the animal sway your decision, as opposed to the animal’s ability to think and feel? Where is the line that separates eating dog or pork from eating cow or chicken?
Nice strawman. You starting a scarecrow factory?

>> Yeah no people like you say that yet shelter children from seeing graphic images of where meat comes from.

I don't buy that. People are sensitive to certain images. I can't stand to dental surgery videos either and definitely I don't think children would get any benefit from watching such material but that doesn't make dental surgery something people shouldn't do.

That being said as a child I've been exposed to animal slaugther on farms and I still eat beef, chicken and pork(very, very rarely). I don't think seeing how the animals are killed makes you vegan.

I don't enjoy watching animals being killed though but we are mortals and animals are mortals too so in the end it makes little difference if we kill or do not kill animals. We have the same end destination. I think this makes us less sensitive to killing animals and even our own. The difference between us and the animals is that they lack enough intelligence to produce anything meaningful(i.e technology, innovation etc) during their lifespan thus the reason why their scope in life is to become good food for us.

We should minimise the pain inflicted upon animals and create better living conditions. It's good for animals and it's good for the consumers as well. Legislation already exists in Europe and will only get stronger.
Whenever I think of this problem I figure it would be best to have a key that you split into N parts and give it to N people you trust. That way if you're gone they come together and unlock it. More secure because if any of them is individually compromised, your information is still safe.
I suppose if you value your privacy over your well-being/existence you can perhaps resist giving up your password (not so with a fingerprint). Or maybe you could set up a "suicide pill" alternate password that wipes/bricks the machine when entered if you wanted to deprive your future self of the opportunity to relent as the torture escalates...

(Edit: I guess the latter is also doable via fingerprint if a different finger is used as the suicide pill, seems a bit risky for normal use though!)

So you agree that BTC is money. ;)

But I think parent commenter is correct. The bread price increases because of inflation of the USD denominated inputs. What you can buy with BTC changes because of changes in currency swap prices. In Zimbabwe during hyperinflation a dollar would buy you the same amount of e.g. bread because the goods inputs were priced in USD, but it would cost vastly more in Zimbabwe dollars on a day to day basis.
Ideally this should be stored at a safety deposit box in that case. There are certainly risks with having this information all in one place like you said.

The illegal aspect only pertains to doing something like this and not paying relevant taxes. Companies have been providing their employees housing for hundreds of years. Trump Org was perfectly free to provide employees apartments, provided appropriate tax filings and payments were made.
I will try to properly word the well known thing:

When you are happy, full of energy, love your job, get a lot of things to do, confident, etc - you are more attractive for any woman, especially for your wife, than when you are uncertain, unhappy, frustrated and full of problems.

Work as much as possible on yourself and your own happiness and career. Any reasonable woman is designed to feel what is going on with you.

Also consider some physical activity which you like. Gym, hiking, cycling, kayak, crossfit - whatever makes you happy and stronger and a same time does not lead to injuries

And there's this interesting news: https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/06/11/study-finds-no-elevat...
> Inflation is about total supply of something

Only if you've fallen down the Austrian rabbit-hole. It's not what mainstream news sources, economists, politicians or really anyone else means by that term.

Inflation is to do with the amount of goods purchasable with a unit of currency, a relative decrease in the value of that currency compared to (usually) a cross-section of prices of goods which are commonly bought by users of the currency.
I use the terms "supply inflation" and "price inflation" to distinguish them.

The relation between supply and prices is also influenced by velocity, which has been swinging wildly at least for the dollar.

Velocity suddenly went low in Q2 2020. That means people are holding on to their USD more, and therefore the value of USD goes up.

So, in spite of supply inflation going up, velocity crashed, which means price inflation was close to nothing during 2020.

IF velocity picks back up, we will see price increase, but if not, then no. This depends on how much people want to spend versus save, and not as much on central banks.

And people tend to suffer from the bandwagon effect, and that is how we get business cycles.
It's not really safe from inflation, more correctly it is deflationary by design. The limited supply means you can't dilute the existing value by creating more coins, as you can do with USD (or any fiat currency)
That is a neat trick and it works unlike Linux and some UEFI implementations.
