The author missed the point: it is a less straightforward UX if it doesn't meet the user's needs. When I choose a trail while riding, the first thing I look at is a map. It answers a tonne of questions, ranging from how am I going to get there. to how much time am I going to enjoy on the trails, to what I can expect to see on the trails. Lists mean that I am wading through walls of text to find the same information, which is a less straightforward UX for the task at hand.

When your corporate intent is not to fire VPs who go "off the reservation", but continue to employ, reward them with bonuses, there's a plausible argument that you're absolutely defining that as your corporate intent.
Sorry, can you clarify?
Not in the slightest. The US is a fine country. But it lags behind in banking and payments.
Okta already supports what you suggest.

The problem, IMO, is the lack of standardization. Okta has its own implementation, Google has its own implementation, etc. TOTPs in stark contrast are pretty universal and not that much harder to deal with, provided you have some way to backup and recover your TOTP keys (this is Authy's selling point, for example).

I managed to give up fags over four years ago after 30 odd years of smoking around 20+ a day. I'm still quite surprised that I managed it but in retrospect I did a mental job on myself - you have to be hard but in the end it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. If I can, you can but you need to find your strategy.

Initially I thought that I'd transition to e-fags and climb down from there. Nope. You are trading one habit with another - it doesn't matter if a e-fag cloud is better for you it is still not good and keeps you tethered to smoking. I think it would be quite easy to go back to tobacco if you "allow" yourself to vape as a transition.

I rapidly realised that once I started down the abstinence route I had to be very hard with myself. It wasn't actually that bad in the end. I came up with two mantras that I repeated to myself in my head whenever I really wanted to smoke: they were - "I don't want to smell" and "I don't want to die". They are pretty self explanatory.

I did and sometimes still have dreams about smoking. It is a very insidious habit. I was a smoker for 30 years so it is obviously still a part of my life at age 52 but it is fading and I rarely have to say my mantras these days.

I had another strategy too, which helped in the short term: I started my give up, in the early afternoon of day one (Easter 2018 as it turns out) and had a very long lie in on day two. That got me to over 24 hours with minimal stress. I then progressed to a series of time based targets:

A day (tick), two days ... a week ... two weeks ... (tried a drag on daughter in law's fag - no thanks) ... a month ... two months (weird dreams) ... six months ... etc ... four years.

>There are several different platforms out there that can shut a machine off if it becomes infected, and then keep all the other machines safe from the machine that is infected... Ramos said this is the type of software the county purchased after the attack, to protect the county’s server

So I'm not an expert by any means, but I can't picture how that is an effective protection. Either the detection can catch it before infection, in which case why shut down? Or it catches it after infection when it could have already spread.

Setting up that last backup sounds like a better use of money.
It does impact healthcare spending. One solution would be to allow people to get as fat as they like as long as they give up the right to healthcare.

> You're confusing money with currency.

No, you're using nonsense distinctions that come from the 'Austrian school', that you think make you smart and you believe gives you an understanding of economics denied to most people, even those who study economics to a high level and make careers in that space. Unfortunately it's a patchwork of old and poor ideas that don't really hold up.

By the way I love the condescending addendum, sure, the only reason that anyone could possibly be negative about Bitcoin is that they haven't learned enough about it. LOL.

I was about to write something similar, but your comment did so much more eloquently than anything I'd be capable of producing.

My ultimate viewpoint is that criminalization makes criminals and a lot of people want sex workers and drug users (there are others, of course) to be considered criminals and be treated as such. I don't see the societal benefit of this, as it just leads to illicit systems taking place that serve to exploit people. Sex work isn't harmful, but sex trafficking and abuse are- there is definitely a way to allow people to participate in sex work with dignity and protection from exploitation- and criminalizing sex work only contributes to forcing people into situations where they operate in shady unregulated realms where the control rests with organized crime instead of giving that control to the sex workers themselves. Because they can't operate legitimately, and the status of criminalization comes with stigma and marginalization that further create more issues rather than solving any issues.

People will buy sex and people will sell sex, they have been doing so since time immemorial regardless of the law- so IMO the priority should be in making sex work safe, focusing LE and CJ systems toward human trafficking, exploitation, abuse, and slavery instead.
Am a Stanford PhD Student, can confirm this is kind of a big deal. At 2 30 yesterday I was in the middle of a zoom call in the CS building, and suddenly the lights went off (except emergency lights)and wifi died. I walked 25 over to my place on campus, and likewise no power or wifi. Some common spaces do have light via backup gas powered generators, though.

Pretty crazy it's already been 24 hours and it might go on for days, and hard not to feel this is a portent of more such disruptions to come as summers will keep getting higher and higher peak temperatures over the coming decades...

Incompetence is just a fact of life, not a moral failure.

If you hire incompetent people, you can't reasonably expect them to do their jobs properly. You may save some money and avoid some inconvenience that way, but you may also have to face crises that would have been avoidable. Alternatively, you can spend more money proactively and hire more competent people. Either way, taxpayers will pay the price.

Pretty cool! I did a similar project for flatfiles, but used bloom filters to generate an “index” of row contents to test against later. I feel like a similar idea could work for identifying divergent rows within your segments more quickly/with less repeated work.

At those prices I'd expect inflating estimates, catfishing juniors by selling seniors in interview/contacts and splitting senior staff between multiple clients.

Basically that's the price range a senior developer can make on his own remoting on platforms like toptal - there's no buffer there for the agency cut unless they are some partnership or losing money to catch clients.

And best case scenario - they have decent devs available at those prices right now - it's likely they will figure out what I've said and cut out the middle man/work for some US client directly and get a 30% bump for little effort.
> Apple should have an application on iDevices that provides office word processing, office mail, office spreadsheet, office telephony, all the office apps in one app that looks like a desktop, such that with BT keyboard and smallish 1080p monitor (actually I'd prefer 1024x768) would replace all the non-power users', non-developer desktops (secretaries, customer support, VPs, etc.), save offices a bundle of money on hardware, and beat Microsoft at it's own game without killing Microsoft's Office environment, yet.

That app exists: it's called a Desktop-as-a-Service, e.g. AWS WorkSpaces, Azure Virtual Desktop, whatever Citrix has been offering for decades now, etc.

And you can certainly use all of those DaaS apps, on an iPad, with a Bluetooth keyboard. In the "Productivity" category of the App Store, you'll find all the cloud companies with DaaS offerings all heavily advertising and competing over business customers with exactly that user-story.

My dad quit smoking about 50 years ago. (2 weeks chopping wood in backyard, mostly not speaking to anyone.) When my brother-in-law decided to quit about 30 years ago, he asked my dad when the craving would quit - Dad told him, "It's not quite so bad after 2-3 years."

> How does the metrics shown in the action help you?

We've mostly looked at "Total reviews" and "Total comments". When I put the action in place, I told the team that the goal was for everyone to contribute to the process.

I was expecting to look at the stats, make some observations and action items and bring it up during our 1:1. I didn't even need to do that. Everybody took it to heart and contributed in different ways. Our most junior engineer ended up contributing in the most meaningful way and set a new standard for how far we take testing.

At this point, it's pretty clear that I see this more as a tool for individuals. For me, I am a bit constrained on time, I can check the table, notice a variation in the number (the action doesn't show variation so I do it out of memory) and decide to take an hour to explore the contributions. The goal being: how can I help them grow?

As an IC, I perhaps could project myself a bit based on my experience, if I am a junior engineer then I can see who comments the most, explore their comments and learn from them. As a tech lead, I'd want to make sure the tone of the comments are constructive (ie. definitely not toxic).
> Bitcoin solved ...

Its inventors came up with a solution to it, sure, and that is innovative. It's inelegant, it's massively wasteful, but as a technical curiosity it's certainly interesting.

> Thus, bitcoin invented thermodynamically secured property rights

Fucking LOL. You say that as if it tapped into the laws of physics themselves, when actually a quantum computer could cause havoc here. It's using mathematics to achieve consensus, not writing data into the fabric of the universe, and as with all of your other points, it's just first mover advantage again. All of the other cryptocurrencies do the same.

> Bitcoin provides a decentralized trustless source of truth

No, it provides consensus, not truth.

> Bitcoin is a strong base layer

Exactly the same as its clones, forks and children.

> and none of the other cryptos do that because they're not nearly as widely adopted.

They do exactly the same. Adoption is a matter of degree, not absolute.

> Bitcoin mining is also incentivising and paying for the production of clean renewable energy

No, no it isn't. Bitcoin mining is filthy and getting worse.

We don't need more incentives for green energy, the world is already full of those. Bitcoin mining, on the other hand, uses dirty coal in Kazakhstan.

> No other crypto is doing those things.

EVERY other cryptocurrency is doing EXACTLY those same things. It's all just brand recognition.
I've never used or examined Tailscale either, but I assumed that:

- Tailnet traffic needs to be associated with an approved device key

- Tailnet device addition needs to be signed by the offline key of another approved device

If a compromised control plane and/or SSO provider can add and approve devices on their own then the security architecture of Tailscale would be fundamentally broken. I wouldn't even call it end-to-end encrypted.
