It's not that people don't know it's a SPOF. The issue is that if you fail in a way that is common, nobody blames you. Cell phone 2FA is so ubiquitous that when it doesn't work clients wonder if they're the one fucking up. We had a massive internet outage in Canada recently and nobody blamed individual shops for not being able to take credit cards, they blamed the phone company.

If you roll your own thing, even if it's objectively better, you're painting a target on your back. Now when your new thing fails it's your fault.

There's also something to be said for how modern financial capitalism has squeezed redundancy out of everything. Supply chains are just-in-time, businesses rely on a million vendors for everything, if a single link in the chain fails it usually has a huge blast radius because of broad consolidation in these upstream suppliers. Basically there are a lot of small businesses that depend on like 5 large companies (think Sysco, telecoms, etc) and if those large companies fail every small company fails in the same way, so there's no incentive to derisk (because your competitors will all also be failing in the same way).
Phone isn’t a secure factor in 2022.
Although I retired last year, that year I worked at home during the pandemic was just fine productivity-wise, but I did miss the social interaction, the ability to hear discussions around me (sometimes too loud of course) where I learned things I would otherwise not know about projects, and I had lunch with my team and other teams almost every day, talking about all sorts of things and sometimes even work. That's what I missed. Slack is fine for communication (I probably read/wrote hundreds of messages every day) but you miss the human interaction.

If I had a family, probably would not have missed the work folks as much, but spending time talking with other programmers every day in casual conversation is a learning experience you won't get just slacking people as part of work. Junior engineers can learn by doing, but being able to have impromptu whiteboard sessions to explain things in detail helps them move forward faster. Sure you could use Zoom, but it becomes just formal meetings instead of a 5 min quick lesson.

I read that as having more discipline to guard your personal time and prevent work from spilling over into it.

One of my biggest observations from WFH is it's A LOT easier to work overtime without even realizing it. At home it's SOOO much easier to just stay on a little longer to "finish up," plus you don't have as many cues in your environment that the work day is ending.
which CEO who spent millions on an office people don't use wrote this?
The eSim's are available these days so you don't have to wait for new SIM to arrive... if your provider & phone supports this feature.
Not just lack of discipline, but these types tend to have poor social skills, hoping to make their only friends via work.

Employers don't want people to have rich social lives.
Asserting the presence of critical data without which the program cannot function is valid. But failing gracefully and asking again for user or network data is correct.
"GitHub had to do this. It was required of them by law. Tornado was sanctioned."

This makes no sense. They could have just blocked the Tornado project. Suspending individual accounts and contributors seems punitive. I was banned on github https://github.com/ransom1538 (unrelated) - it is pretty devastating. No recourse. Just gone. If something involves your lively hood (uber,grubhub,paypal,github, etc) you should be able to state your case.
> You're free to put your money where your heart is, just like them.

This argument is appearing again and again in this subthread. "Putting your money where your heart is" is the exact opposite of what EA claims to believe. EA is about investing effort and money into areas with the highest marginal value to humanity.

So if they're spending their time talking about the robot invasion, we can only conclude that's where they think that effort should be spent.

Obviously they're free to do whatever they want with their own time and money. But if they spend that time pretending that SkyNet or WOPR is the greatest threat to humanity that the rest of us should be spending our marginal effort on, it's on the rest of us to call them out on that nosense.

Altruism is an evolved trait, so. Would you rather save your brother or a stranger? Why do you think is that?
I agree completely. After having the freedom to tailor my environment precisely to how I do my best work, going to an office feels entirely performative. It feels like doing a show and dance to make other people feel important rather than increase anybody's actual outputs.

Errors in a system are correlated with usage but a large part of our jobs as engineers is to reduce that correlation very, very hard. In organizations at even low scale I’ve had horrible levels of page outs (2-3 per night typical) but it means the system is unsustainable due to burning out workers in the end or that customers simply accept the error rates basically. At sufficiently high team size scales and error rates eventually you run out of hiring people to offset attrition which is what some people are reporting for teams at Amazon and AWS I’ve seen here and there.

> Aren't we more than that?

Are we more than that? What evidence do you have, aside from "God loves us"?

You are carrying around an amazing machine in your noggin, but I haven't seen any convincing evidence that it can't be duplicated. As far into it as we have seen, it is all laws of physics, chemistry on top of that, and biology on top of that.

We definitely haven't cracked the "self learning algorithm" yet. You can show a person a couple pictures of a dog, and they can construct a 3-D mental model of a dog, and what it looks like from all angles and in all poses. Yet you have to give thousands of examples to do the same thing for a ML/DL system.

How much of the ability of those models is baked into the genetic code of humans? How much is learned as a toddler playing with blocks to figure out basic physical properties like object permanence, gravity, friction, and such? By just watching and interacting?
Not one mention of children in the article - the #1 reason people that have them prefer to work from home.
Not sure, thoughtcrime is a thing now in modern America?
Probably not, but it is in their best interest. By blocking all these accounts, if it is later discovered they missed something else related to this they can bring all those blocked accounts up as evidence they were trying to obey the law and this was an honest mistake. The courts understand mistakes happen, but you need to prove it was a mistake and not an attempt to evade the law by ignoring something. The more you do to ensure mistakes don't happen, the more likely the courts are to decide you weren't trying to evade the law, but just made a mistake.
Do you experience subjective existence or are you a non-conscious entity? If you are a set of pattern recognition layers responding to stimuli, then I would not be so shocked you are unconcerned about the hard problem of consciousness.

> The agency didn't specify which cryptocurrency was used in the transaction.

Interesting

So this is a non-story so far (even with the backstory of Iran doing bitcoin mining - there are pros and cons of using it, though of course it is the most likely answer)

To pay with crypto you first need to acquire it (multiple ways to do it - including not so legal ones, though I'm not saying which way might have been)

> Tell your workplace you're about to switch from carrying a phone to a landline

In my country we still respect people who use dumbphones, because a religious minority eschews the smartphone. I'm very grateful for this, I tell my bank and other entities that I have to deal with that I have a dumbphone and all local entities have a path for accommodating this.
Yes, but procrastinating in the time slots that you had originally planned for work is still bad for everyone involved.

It's a different thing if you e.g. plan 1 hour in the middle of the day to go for a walk.
I haven't read something I disagree with so strongly in a very long time. It looks like the author makes an (entirely incorrect) assumption that their views is somehow equal to scientific evidence.

All I learned from this post is the author is unable to reap the many benefits of WFH. And that's fine; it doesn't have to be awesome for everyone.
> Remote workers are in a cycle of procrastination and guilt

I've felt that at the office too. Not sure it is related to WFH for me.

WFH is a change. I'm not surprised some people wary about it. I guess it is healthy. This article, however, really goes far making WFH feel sad. My video calls feel nothing like "speaking to muted mics and webcams, wondering whether anybody is listening at all". We trust each others. Ever lived an in-person meeting where everybody is sleeping because of boredom and a big lunch just before? This kind of thing is possible both remotely and in-person.

Thanks to WFH I've been able to spend quality time with friends and family lately, not having to worry about how I should be able to reach a specific geographic place at all time, and I'm enjoying my colleagues too. Granted, it might take specific personalities, but I seem to fit personally and my colleagues too. Some people are not ready/wired for this, like in my previous company, and that's fine too.
> only had to block accounts that contributed after establishing the sanction

The people who built Tornado Cash are already in trouble. The crime--facilitating money laundering--has already been committed. OFAC is an enforcement office. Its lists are more like wanted posters than rules.

GitHub is cutting ties with people likely to be charged with federal crimes. If some of them are going to continue contributing to the project, GitHub doesn't want to be the conduit through which it is done. This is all standard sanctions compliance.
ID is an issue that both extremes of the political system are against.

Then change the bank you deal with. At least in EU, this 2FA was due to PSD.

Please also note that any changes will impact some people. How often do you lose your smartphone? If every month then it is sad. You need to find a bank that still uses cheques etc.

No point in whinging. If something works for 90 % people then get used to it.

But I don't care about this.

I don't want to see my colleagues, sure I preferred in person meetings but that was only because it was a break from real work. I dislike meetings in general at all.

I want to go to work, do my job, get paid and then after that, that's my life, then I can be around the few people I have chosen to be around not forced interactions with people just because we share the same enviroment.

If you focus on and achieve outcomes, you won't "let your team down".

It is very much possible to waste time at work, get involved with various "initiatives", create all the right noises, and be seen as one of the team while not actually contributing to anything productive.

Notice I said "good transportation" and not "close to nyc levels". If you want close-to-nyc levels, check out Philly, Chicago, DC, Boston, maybe Seattle or Portland. But you can live without a car in many more cities and have a fulfilling life, it just depends on what your needs are (obviously).
Sounds like the author is writing this article based on his own ineffectiveness at working remotely. It's true that video calls can be more draining than an in-person meeting - if you have nothing but meetings on your calendar all day. If I only have one meeting for the day, it's nice to not have to commute in just for that one hour (that could be cancelled/postponed if somebody doesn't show).

The author is also terribly mistaken if he doesn't think people weren't browsing the web while in an office before, procrastinating on getting their work done there as well.

> (AFAIK no country guarantees that there is a precise percentage match of party representation to the popular vote with no lower bound on how many votes a party needs to enter, as it would be unworkable to have such a system

Representative democracy doesn’t require a “precise percentage match of party representation …”, but direct democracy is explicitly defined as a system in which there are no representatives.

> especially with broken voting systems that are not even remotely representative such as in the US, UK, and most of the world

This is hyperbole. The US system is pretty representative, and the extent to which it isn’t has very little to do with the voting system and much more to do with incentives (elected officials are beholden to their corporate backers rather than their constituents) and to a lesser extent, our two party system.

It's not a fundamental property in the deepest sense

What do you mean by "in the deepest sense"? If the actual laws of physics were to change, then our world would instantly change - perhaps in such a way that we no longer can exist. If our understanding of the laws of physics were to change, that doesn't undo what we already know. For example, apples won't start falling up from trees. Greater understanding of the laws of physics refines our knowledge, for example what, exactly, happens inside a black hole? As far as the physics governing our daily lives and even our biology, it appears to be rather mundane and well-known. It's not apparent that resolving QFT with GR is going to answer the question for how life arises.

I think it therefore stands that we could, in principle, build something equivalent to a human being - I just see no reason why we would choose to do so. After all, we're already pretty good at building new human beings!

I feel this way too but the other day, I was reading an op-ed with a bunch of in-line links. I decided to click on the links to see if the linked page actually say what the link anchor and surrounding text hinted at. In many cases, there was no connection at all!

Usually, these links are used to boost on-site SEO and sometimes, to seem authoritative and well-read on the topic at hand.
I'm not sure it's democratic when 12 people can override the laws created by the representatives of millions, but it certainly is a hedge against tyranny.
>The Social Alienation of Remote Working

We don't want to be your friends and hang out afterwards and get drinks.

I am a fantastically social person outside of work, I got to bars, go to concerts. That's where I've met my first real girlfriend, fun concert.

A fun concert that I voluntarily went to.

I absolutely hate company events, I hate this whole forced fun crap. I have other things I would rather do. If you actually would like to become my friend, we can hang out. But not at the office.

Real talk, if I found a job that would allow me to work remote from another country ( where I'm authorized to work), I would be open to working for as little as 60K a year.

That's more than enough to support me in most of the world.

But if instead you tell me I need to live in the bay, all of a sudden.

I need at least 300k total comp.

> The key issue is that any collateral damage is considered acceptable, but any false negatives are absolutely not.

Even though “better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer”. Not that this was ever uncontroversial, but how did it ever go so wrong, that the very problems of government that modern laws sought to correct are gleefully recreated using private companies as enforcement proxies?
> This doesn't work because you don't know who allocated that memory.

I obviously haven't fully fleshed it out (I'm not writing an RFC here), but address re-use would be a consideration as you mention.

> You only "need" it if you've lost track of your memory and have no clue what is allocated and what isn't and you're trying to solve the problem (the wrong way) with these runtime checks.

No, you can do:

char* a = (char*)malloc(/**/);
if(a == NULL) printf("error"); // Never runs
/* Any other checks you want to perform */
/* Some processing later */
a[0] = 'a'; // Crash here

In this case you have done nothing wrong. At the time of requesting memory there was enough space and the kernel said that you could have it. It's only when you come to actually access it did you find that it wasn't really allocated yet and there was no longer enough memory there for it.

> If you're going to change the language anyway (changing what the compiler does), just use C++ with unique_ptrs and they do precisely that without is_alloc.

You don't have to change the way in which the compiler works. You can likely do this with some macros. You would need some way to probe memory allocations though.
Part of the point he's trying to make is that eventually there probably won't be a bank that isn't like this.

At issue is that folks wishing to return to the office explicitly want EVERYONE ELSE to do so as well, because their issue with working from home isn't the location. It's that they need people around them, whether they want to be there or not.

I interact all the time over teams with my coworkers from my team. Most of my work comes from jira. I have 5 to 10 tasks on my plate and I know what I need to get done. If I run out of crap I ask for more.

We even have a little group setup of people I used to go to lunch with. We post crap from the internet etc.

Most of my team is in other states so even if I did go back to an office my work process wouldn't change.

but I would spend a fortune more in gas and going out to eat at lunch.

I checked the news and stuff at the office and do the same at home.

The big difference is the hour a day I get back and I have a little better attitude.
I agree that it’s (morally) perjury, but I don’t see how it could be proven in court. The prosecutor can’t compel the individual juror (5th Amendment) or the rest of the jury (Rules of Evidence) to testify. I suppose someone could voluntarily waive their 5A rights and confess but…

Seriously though, this type of thing has kept me up at night for years.
I've done full time WfH, I've done hybrid and I've done full time in office over the last few years.

Full time WfH is where I've settled.

I find the flexibility suits me better - if I want to take a long lunch so I can cook in the middle of the day, I can. If I'm not being productive, I can do something else and come back later.

It gives me a lot more freedom to work in the way that suits me best, and for our company we've found it's actually more productive. We get more work done, without people doing more hours, and the fact it cuts out my commute is just the cherry on top.
