Another option is those towns that are formed around some activity like skiing, hiking or surfing(Never surfed but I think it applies here also). They might be not cheap as some random rural towns but atmosphere and services are very good.
> You need hardware second factor tokens.

Be careful what you wish for. It's happening but not in the way you're envisioning. A lot of logins now require a phone app. That's the hardware offloading, and reduces overhead of having to manage dedicated hardware. Instead, users manage it themselves and the business piggybacks off it.
Lots of America just deals with them poorly. The nearest hospital might be an hour away. Or more. Usually better than that in New York state, at least.

Something to think hard about before you embark on your small town life journey.
Ashland is a bit sunnier. Southern Oregon university, Shakespeare festival, cute downtown. Oregon is progressive libertarian.
I'm not copyright expert, but I would have imagined the answer is relatively straightforward: if an image would be infringing if drawn by a human, it's also infringing if drawn by a model, and similarly for non-infringing. Does the manner in which the image is generated play into whether it infringes a copyright?
>Navigating with a map and compass was taught to 10-year-old kids in elementary school when I was that age, and then it was practiced a few times every year.

When I was in school, in the 90s and 00s, in Australia, we did this maybe a handful of times throughout my entire education. Not a single time that I can recall we actually managed to navigate correctly.

Theoretically navigating with a map and compass is not hard, but I sure as shit would not want my life depending on my ability to do so.
>I think that if Facebook did just provide phonebook-like functionality I would be so interested in using it. Instead, it feels more like an application(s) built to serve ads that happens to provide some phonebook functionality.

Interesting, I guess I didn't notice this last time I was in NYC.

In DC (where I lived for years until recently), this stuff just isn't the case at all. There's no way to predict where the operator will stop the train, and it can be many car-lengths different from operator to operator.
First, the contracting company will ask you to sign a clause saying that you don’t seek contract with their clients. Here, you can add a conditional: it is valid for 6 months after the contract. You can quit and do c2c directly after 6 months. You can even knock it down to 3 months.

The other option is to jack up the rate that you think you are worth, and forget about how much staffing company makes off of you. Definitely for sure, they will make 20 percent.

Or don’t sign this contract and find the contact at the vendor management, try to present yourself. This is difficult unless you know insiders.
This was a review of the author's earlier paper of 2018, in which they were actually claiming a proof of RH.

On their arXiv page: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12546, the author states that "though all my previous proposed (dis)proofs were flawed, i think the flaws pointed me towards the right direction."
The sweet spot is probably five or ten options. Go visit first.
Probably not much, but that's still far more than the average consumer is willing or able to do.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete joke, and has nothing to do with real Rock and Roll music. They regularly induct musicians and performers who have absolutely nothing to do with Rock. It's best to just ignore the whole institution.
A lot of the criticism of this article seems to be: “If they already have access to your local file system, you already have bigger problems”

What about defence in depth?

This article is suggesting an alternative, which are password managers such as 1Password. These Password managers do not suffer from the same weak key storage as the browser’s build-in password managers.

So this article is bringing attention to a weakness in the browser’s built-in password managers, and suggesting a very viable and easy-to-adopt solution.

Why the strong criticism of this article?
Thank you very much, it encourages me to go further.
>though unfirtunately central gov power is creeping up

Nothing unfortunate about it: that decentralization is the cause of most of the problems.
And yet the same authors designed Inferno and Limbo, where dynamic loading is everywhere, even at language level.

Talk about being serious.
I use GV, but it's really tough to use with many sites. Many sites will detect the non-cellphone (virtual) nature of the number and require a different (cellphone backed) number.

Yesterday, I put my GV number in the DALL·E sign up and it wouldn't let me proceed. So I abandoned the sign up flow.
>I think that if Facebook did just provide phonebook-like functionality I would be so interested in using it. Instead, it feels more like an application(s) built to serve ads that happens to provide some phonebook functionality.

For me, this is exactly how it works. I never see any ads.
A warning about Thunderbird: It sometimes deletes the entire email rather than just the attachment. It happens with both IMAP and with mail on your local disk. I'm on Linux with a vanilla install with no add-ons or extensions and I've seen this bug in recent versions and going back 5-7 years. There's at least one bug report filed and I think I also filed a bug report. Maybe it has something to do with my configuration because I would've thought many people would have seen it by now. I avoid deleting attachments unless I think the email itself is unimportant and don't care if it also gets deleted.
I have one of those, newer than that, and the bearings are going out.
Why should it apply to investors? It is no one’s business where an investor chooses to put their money, their goal is to make a return, not uphold some moral code.
On reflection, I think this article is why I find it extremely difficult to hire qualified security experts.

The vast majority of "security experts" I find tend to be "box tickers", who can require lots of rules like this ("don't use the built in password manager"), but whose advice is worse than useless because they don't understand the actual threat models.

I know great security people exist, but in my experience I wasn't able to find them, and instead just decided to learn the most important things myself (I'm an application engineer who felt I had a good grasp of things around application security, but less so around infrastructure and corporate IT security).

> Do you have a suggestion for the _On keywords?

Let's suppose that in the future you want to add an argument to the break keyword to signal why the loop returned early. I use a string (btw, does the language have symbols / atoms?)

break "found"
break "eof"
break "invalid input"

Then you could have

on "found"
on "eof"
on "invalid input"

with only one keyword. And

on "complete"
on "empty"

> Returning multiple variables is much better IMO

I agree but declaring a name for what you return is nice because it explains the purpose of the returned values. They could go outside the ()s.

stat(file) out length, created, modified
a great of this I suspect is post hoc rationalisation - we find a higher order rationale to explain our choice (presuming availability of choice) of employer, in order to preserve our self perception of being a moral actor, when we likely made the decision mainly on practical grounds.

Engineers might also have this mental process to make - would you work for Palantir (example) and build spyware for the CIA? You might for the money, and then explain to yourself that its for good of country
I get asked for my windows password when I try to view the passwords, are they not encrypted by windows?
It's true that some of AWS have "Amazon" in the name, but from what I know they are all under AWS anyway.
The usual advice is to figure out which tool you need the most, and pick the brand that has one of the best, then buy other devices in that line as you need them, to reuse the batteries and chargers. For me it was drills, and maybe circular saws, and Milwaukee was top on the former and top three on the latter at the time, so that’s what I went with. If I’d been more into saws or hand routers, I might have gone with Makita.

Mind you, this was around when their second or third generation M18 line came out, which was quite a bit better than the other things on offer. Today that has likely all shifted around two or three times.

Where is that, just curious? I can't think of any place with three major hospitals within a mile or less?
Your drills have plastic gears simply as a cost saving measure. Spend a bit more and you get powdered metal gears.

> They are designed to die just slightly past the warranty, so they can sell you another.

Not quite. They're designed to last at least as long as the warranty so that they don't lose money on returns. At least based on my experience in Dyson.

They don't deliberate sabotage anything like some people seem to think. Like there's no 5 year clock that is programmed to break so you have to buy another. If some part is cheap and lasts 20 years they aren't going to deliberately weaken it just so it breaks after 5 years.

What actually happens is they reduce the cost of expensive parts as much as possible (to save money) subject to the constraint that it can't fail within the warranty.

Part of the reason why early versions of products are often more reliable than later ones - they haven't sold very many so there's no financial incentive yet to do extensive cost-down optimisation (and they haven't had time).

It's still not great IMO but it's not outright evil. Your average Redditor thinks there are lightbulb conspiracies around every corner and that's just untrue.
Um, TSMC sources many parts which are made exclusively in America. The machines TSMC uses for all of its highest end semiconductor work come from a company called ASML which whilst being a Dutch company sources many of its most sophisticated parts from the U.S. and Europe. But before we bother to argue about what is and is not a knowledge economy, humor me this one possibility.

Perhaps there is no such thing as a "knowledge" economy. At least not in a mass sense. Maybe instead the design knowledge which will drive automation is derivable from only a fraction of the population. That is only a small fraction of the population is capable or necessary for producing this knowledge. Perhpas the Utopia in which every child achieves a doctorate in engineering, medicine, etc was just a fantasy.

Perhaps the people who most perpetrated this story were motivated to. Because they were either complicit in the dismantling of the West's lower middle class economy or perhaps because they were apologists of untrestrained "free markets" and they needed a way to square their dogma without seeming cruel.

Perhaps the consequences of globalization minus the dogmatic fantasy of "everyone will be educated into being einstein" left the nagging uncomfortable suspicion that growth had its limits and someday we would have to admit that the only answer to making sure an equitable portion of wealth made its way into everyone's pockets wasn't an endless growth, every mom blasting their womb with Bach, an STM on every crib nerdocracy but instead gasp dare I say it? Redistribution!?
I wrote this up, here, not in a blog. The post and the first comment together. Less is more. But the comment was moved by dang to another thread, and got separated from this. I honestly do not see the sense of any of this happening, given the thread had already 100+ votes.
It's an economical issue rather than a culture one. Chabuduo factories are making more profits because price wars and demands for chabuduo tier products. Once the Chabuduo demands dries out, those factories will be forced to make higher quality parts.

One example is how Xiaomi nearly wiped clean "Shanzhai" phones in China.
> Using a password manager without a master password is way more secure than not using a password manager at all.

I disagree, diceware AND hardware security keys, is stronger, no password manager needed at all.

However I agree the article is overblown. For most people, browser based password managers are probably a vast improvement, since most will likely never educate themselves on such things or accept the solutions as personally viable. The browser is right there and even prompts them into using it.
It's both. I had a variety of things I wanted to study: philosophy, economics, history, and computers. I took electives where I could and majored in CS so I could pursue the rest in my leisure time. The alternative had worse odds of letting me study the others in my leisure time.

You're OK with post secondary being paid for by tax, but not PhD's, why? Why not two PhD's?

I am ok with the basic critical thinking skills useful in navigating life being taught. I believe public school is designed that way and accomplishes that much better than post secondary. I've seen the general psychology, business admin, arts, sociology, and criminology cohort that public universities pump out in the last 5 years. They aren't swimming in unique insights and most worthy of the substantial financial investments we could make elsewhere.

I would have 0 respect for someone that wants a free 4 year ride to study sociology in a pampered university setting, while opposing critical financial aid to the impoverished Ukrainians dying to defend their country.

As a white male who's lived in the US most of his life, I confess that I read these articles about caste-based racism and comments with a measure of disbelief, because to me it is entirely invisible. Mind you, I first learned about India's discriminatory caste system in high school, so I've been aware of it and I know it's real, but it exists in an alternate dimension I simply can't see. I've never noticed people asking where someone is from or their diet, and I've never considered that a last name might be telling me about a person's "status."

But... I don't want to learn which last names are low or high caste. I don't want to learn which regions are low or high. I rather appreciate my ignorance on the matter.
I live. I was given life without asking for it, so I might as well use it any way I want it. I don't need to justify it to anyone.
Same here. Lots of .NET software around in my country, and most of it isn't on .NET Core yet (and having done it once, migrating away from .NET Framework isn't always easy... though it did get easier with .NET 5)
Some companies understood the value of maintaining their own education.

Tektronix: "The Spirit of Tek"

https://vintagetek.org/opb-oregon-experience-the-spirit-of-t...

The video can be found when one looks around some.

Tek, under the leadership of Howard Vollum, literally built the whole region around it up. People could walk in off the streets and end up designing products, in sales, even doing a startup that Tek would help to fund.

I am a product of that culture, and learned a freaking ton from that place and the people who were in and around it.

When Howard Died, the private equity game chopped it all up and it's a shadow of what it once was.

Investments in the local people, partnering with schools, other manufacturers, all add up.
Costs more than what?

I thought we were comparing a big bursty supply at 120 volts and a big bursty supply at higher voltage.

Did I understand your initial comment wrong and you weren't talking about voltage at all?

“The appeal of injection a library into Zoom, revolves around its (user-granted) access to the mic and camera. Once our malicious library is loaded into Zoom’s process/address space, the library will automatically inherit any/all of Zooms access rights/permissions!

This means that if the user as given Zoom access to the mic and camera (a more than likely scenario), our injected library can equally access those devices.”

As someone who grew up in a very small town with exactly one pub and no other shops, this is a bit melodramatic. You can just walk in, order a meal and a beer, talk to the publican, and work out for yourself whether you like the place. There's something to like about most pubs.

The shops being further away also isn't a big deal. You'd think it would be annoying, but your habits quickly adapt. After running out of milk a couple of times, you learn to keep a can of evaporated milk in the cupboard. If you're out of eggs, you either have porridge for breakfast, defrost some frozen egg whites, or if it's really important you drive into town. It's not practically a problem.

From what I understand, the real things people struggle with are dealing with being alone, and learning how to have a social life with the different rules and constraints. My mum claims that when a new family moves to town, she can tell if they're going to leave by whether they leave the light on out the front of their house: the ones who're uncomfortable with darkness will go back, the others will stay. It's harder to maintain friendships unless you're organised, so clubs and groups are important to keep you socially active. Even your neighbours are further away and you don't have as many of them, so having a good relationship with them becomes more important than with neighbours in the city. In a small enough town you know everyone you see.
Lastpass locked us out of our shared password database and want $750
Lastpass has locked us from exporting our company’s shared password database unless we pay them for another 6 month subscription ($750). We can’t even discuss this with support because they refuse to email, chat or call with us (they have no listed number) until we pay. They’re holding our own passwords as a ransom against us. HN what should we do?
"It depends."

My town actually has an E.R. and urgent care. We have a CVS in town too (my town has a lot of stuff!!). There are also medical taxis (there are no regular taxis here) and private hire ambulances that'll take you if you need a different hospital.

Typically you get the number of the closest general doc to you, and make good friends with your neighbors, so somebody can drive you to a hospital right away if you cut your leg off in the middle of the night. Could be a long way off or right around the corner, it depends.

The biggest thing I never anticipated? Car parts. My brakes went and rather than bring it to the local mechanics I tried to fix it myself. Walk into town takes about 40 minutes, getting the right parts took weeks.

Power also went in the spring due to freezing rain bringing down trees. Cell signal went, along with power and internet, and my water well's pump is electric; heat is propane but the damn heater's thermostat went, probably electric too. So being prepared to be off-grid once a year is useful.

Light duty dump trucks are used for small scale loading and unloading jobs. Light duty dump trucks have a load capacity of up to 3 tons and are sometimes called compact or intermediate class dump trucks. These types of vehicles generally have two axles, but may have four. They are often used in construction sites for moving dirt and other materials from one place to another.
Is it money? I can't tell since I'm paywalled. But I feel like it's got to be money.

You have to pay people MORE to work in bad industries, since there are a lot of people who won't want to work there.

You can pay people less in fun industries, even if there is a lot of profit. Like video games. Look at Blizzard.
I’m also not a copyright expert, so I wonder about things like if I draw a (crappy) picture of Spider-Man and slap it on a tshirt, can I sell it without violating copyright? I’m sure there’s established law about this kind of thing.
Anecdata, but most of my expensive appliance repairs have been from a board frying.

Replacing a standard thermocouple is trivial. Replacing a PCB may not even be possible if the part isn’t being produced. Doesn’t mean you’re wrong, but I’d still rather have the thermocouple in most cases.
This concerns the video linked from the website: I wonder why some Youtube videos have subtitles disabled? There are people needing subtitles!

A few years ago I did an experiment: I downloaded the video and re-uploaded it to Youtube just to enable the subtitles, but I got a warning because of copyright violation, so I don't do that anymore.

Yes of course, by design apps write their state into their own sandbox in the filesystem, and trust the OS to enforce security boundaries.

Does no one carry a physical mapbook these days? I always keep one in the back just for situations like these.
Is there really any language that is all that more productive for a given task? Libraries (somewhat including the standard lib as well) and experience aside, I don’t think one would finish a given task 2x faster in any other general purpose language, let alone more than that. (in agreement with Brook’s famous paper)

So by extension, a single language with a huge ecosystem should suffice for any task.
I disagree here, suspicion is not warranted - I'd prefer that they support additional non-sms 2FA paths, but supporting SMS based 2FA has many benefits for a company beyond being "lazy"

SMS is vastly better than nothing, and it has the benefit of not requiring users install random software that they (a) don't know how to install, (b) don't know how to use, (c) don't have a recent enough device to use, (d) you don't need to worry about them deleting the app and then losing their 2f, (e) doesn't require your customers having an account with (and potentially paying) another company just to log in to your site, etc

I really do think that tech people over estimate the proportion of people for whom at least one of the above applies. Not everyone runs a one or two year old phone, many of the very cheap phones run very old versions of android, can't be updated, etc

Obviously SMS 2FA has a different problem as the sufficiently poor may not have a constant phone number, obviously sim hijacks can happen but the targeting requires much more effort than simply moving on to the next non-2fa account.
