No one is asking for it back because Iran would laugh them out of the room, as anyone should. None of this nonsense should be taken seriously.

We are past conquest for the most part, thankfully. But conquest was the way of the world at one time. When the dust settles things stand as they stand, that's all there is to it.

Fomenting nationalism seems like a bad idea.
If I ever leak my Google password, the last thing I would want is for someone to bypass the 2FA on it. So I certainly hope that there would be no way around it.
Maybe you should just make sure your profile is top 5%, and if you think you need a six-pack for that, you're wrong. Any average guy can make a Tinder profile that is interesting for women. Women prefer other things in their partner than men (men mainly focus on looks).
Getting into wild speculation, one interpretation of the "Miasma Theory" could go like this: "Diseases comes from bad vapours. Very nasty disease is in this body. Therefore if we burn this body, miasmic smoke could come out of it."
We see these posts several times a week. If you are reading this and you still rely on Google: what the hell?
I ran into the same fucking thing recently! It asked me to 2FA off of a random android phone I don't use, despite 2FA being disabled. First time I went "welp, time to consider alternatives".

For now I have removed every android I could from their logged-in-devices page and hope that suffices.

+1 to some sort of "engineered swaddle" that restrains the arms effectively.

We found "traditional" swaddles to be unreliable - once the arm/arms were out then it is only a matter of time before they hit themselves in the face with their arms, but swaddles with specific features to prevent the escape of the arms to work really well.

We used one called Miracle Swaddle for both our kids. Just make sure you stop using swaddles as soon as the kid can roll on their own.
I recently applied to a job at a well known company which offered $160k. The interview process was going perfectly I aced every stage of the process both in terms of tech skills and communication/people skills then got to the final stage which involved talking to the director of engineering. I assumed that was just a formality and it was a done deal... But surprise, the director didn't even show up to the interview, instead I got someone else and they interviewed me. I thought it went perfectly, I was able to answer every question without issue and demonstrate my knowledge... Then after over 1 week with no response, I send them an email to ask about next steps and I get an email back saying that "Unfortunately, another candidate has been chosen"... But the thing is, I know that they had multiple positions available and we had even discussed multiple options and they saw me as a potential fit for multiple different teams.

This is just one story I have among many. My resume is stellar, my communication skills are great, the interviewers always seem impressed while I'm taking to them, my colleagues always treat me with respect wherever I go... But somehow all these weird things happen to me whenever I deal with big corporations or startups backed by big VCs.

Ironically, before that, I had an experience on the other side interviewing candidates at my previous company but somehow none of the really good candidates which I recommended got in. Instead, they hired only mediocre developers.
This would have to work across borders or else you'd create a downward force on the space industry in your nation. If the US had a tax to launch stuff, then suddenly Russia has a competitive advantage.
I received a call one time with a SOB story about someone locked out of their yahoo email account with my phone number, which I've had for over a decade. In the back I could hear people talking, person had a thick accent from a country known to scam people. I knew it was a scam so I started probing more and they finally hung up.

It is a super bad idea for anyone to give out 2FA codes, they could easily found your email associated with a specific number from a security leak and attempt to steal it.
Yes, this so many times.

Whenever these posts hit HN there is some people going "well if they don't do this then a lot of accounts will get hacked" - fine! Fucking make my account vulnerable if I want it to, the chances I get hacked are probably still 10x lower than getting locked out by Google's shit AI crap "protecting" accounts. And well if it does happen, those same people can at least have their "told you so" moment. Fucking bullshit.
This is a problem that is is very hard to solve on the global scale.

Right now Google is not asking information that would allow them to really verify my identity. Not sure if people would like Google to start demanding that kind of information, like personal identity code (for countries where it is available), passport numbers, home addresses etc.

Without strong identity checks, the system is prone to fraud. Black hats can either social e
engineer their way around the support agents or use leaked personal data to impersonate people to gain access to their accounts.

Subsampling red is about as common as blue. Digital video, digital cameras, PenTile displays… the only full resolution you're getting is green, because that's the most effective way to get luminance.

They mostly don't even use good resampling algorithms either.
Square waves contain even more power than sine waves.

All those lovely odd harmonics that ensure constant full peak-to-peak power that will cook voice-coils almost instantly. Not so much the clipping but the overloading of the voice-coils.

But then again, when some cones were made of solid polystyrene foam, the very rapid full-travel back and forth caused the voice-coil area of the foam cone to break and separate completely away from the rest of the foam cone. Had to have my B139 woofers from my KEF Concertos re-coned quite a few times back in the day.
This happened to me. I had the password, same recovery email, but phone number was one I no longer had access to.

Turns out it was a IP location issue. When I traveled back to the same city I created it, I never got the 2nd challenge. The password was enough. I could then update the phone number.

It's really nuts. I mean, if you know 2 out of 3 security challenges (password, recovery email, but not phone) suddenly that's enough to lock you out?
And iTunes still does not support FLAC. .
This is again something you can't just unilaterally declare.

Even if you're right that they're not a burden, which I disagree with since they do actually do enjoy services like police, fire department, mass transit subsidies, national defence, roads, clean air enforcement, etc, this is still not something you can unilaterally decide.

The laws are there whether you think they should be or not.

The country's state budget and its rules are not up to the individual to opt in and out of.
1. It's an exploratory study which both confirms previous results and builds on them. Furthermore, a sample size of 21 is not too inherently small to draw conclusions - that would depend on the effect sizes between conditions...

2. The study is explicitly about whether or not the children stay asleep after the different proposed routines. This is one of the main points of the article and is directly addressed within:

"When an infant falls asleep in one’s arms or in a stroller, parents would then want to put the infant to bed. However, this laydown procedure often makes the infant alert again. In this study,
9 of 26 (34.6%) sleeping infants awoke by 20 s after the laydown,
while the remaining 17 infants stayed asleep. "

Why comment with a critique if you didn't even have a cursory look at the paper, or even understand what the dependant variables are?
Facebook did offer you two ways to recover: a) provide your driving license or credit card (a reasonable offer, IMHO) and b) reaching out to your three friends online.

I agree that in b), it sucks that once chosen, the 3 people cannot be change (although I kinda see the security angle of it), but what else would you want Facebook to do if you lost access to your email?

Would your opinion - "despicable" - change if the Google was very clear, in their T&C's when you sign up, about their level of support (zilch) for "free" accounts?
One of the reasons I pay for Google One storage is that in case something like that happens to me I will be able to do something legally, since I'm a customer and I'm not getting my service, right? (And my identity is tied to my credit card, so it can be verified easily).

I'm probably too naive but I can't think anything better. I'd gladly pay some money just to avoid this scenario.
Thanks for reminding me to open up thunderbird and get it up to date with my google email.

It would be bad to be cut off, for all the reasons you have given in the intro, but it would be even worse to lose all my mail as well.
The question of "what exactly is ownership?" is an interesting one... every single patch of land has a long and bloody history, and if land ownership includes mining rights? Then this carries over to all objects.

It says it has "silky smooth interfaces" and "polished experience" in the very first page under the very first example image where not only the typeface is butt-ugly, also text layout is all kinds of messed up.
And then if that happens, people will say, oh but that innovation was discovered a long time ago, these companies haven't done anything earth-shattering recently.

I think the taste of men in women is very predictable. We're all focussed on the same 5%.

With women, it's different. Each individual woman has a different taste. Some like men with beards, others hate them. Some like tattoos, others hate them. Some like them more chubby, some skinny. Some like a funny guy, some a serious one that doesn't act childish.

If you don't believe me, play a game with a women where you try to guess which guys she finds attractive. Very hard. With guys, that game is easy.
In the NBC footage, I thought I heard someone joke, “what if it is a bomb”.

When the tech reaches a threshold of saturation and ubiquity, it becomes less a curiosity and more of, something else to look out for.
It's a reasonable idea, and there's been further work on ignition of fusion reactions with electron beams.[1][2] But not much further work. Ignition with laser beams works, but the equipment required fills a huge building.

If someone figures out how to do this, it becomes possible to make H-bombs without uranium or plutonium. There's a good chance that further results in this area are classified. Much like laser isotope separation, which is known to work and may be a bit too easy.

It shouldn't be buzzword soup, that does not mean that companies and vendors don't use it that way.

Pretty much any time a new security concept comes up vendors race to say that they implement it, whether they do or not.

With Zero trust, it's hardly a new idea (e.g the Jericho forum de-perimeterization) but it's hard to implement well across all systems.
And that's totally fine. People should not treat IT services as something reliable, it is extremely unreliable and prone to many issues thing.

Once it will be understood, losing xx-years accounts wouldn't be a problem.

I know this is controversial idea, but the more I see cases like that, the more I am sure about it
“Sin” was invented by teachings. It wouldn’t exist without them.
WotC doesn't care if a potential consumer trusts their long-term business model, but they sure do care if the potential consumer trusts their purchase won't poof out of existence one day.

By throwing it on the blockchain, WotC could market it as the digital card being basically as safe from vanishing as a physical card. "Even if we go bust in 50 years, your digital cards will all still be yours! You'll still be able to prove ownership of all your cards, and will still be free as ever to trade coughsell for incredible profitcough them!"

I have no idea if the market as a whole would bite, or how deeply. But there is a not-insignificant number of people who count on Magic cards gaining significant amounts of value over time. Some use it as a way to justify the purchases, while others have turned it into an outright investment strategy.

I can only imagine that digital cards reliant on WotC's active involvement to exist would suffer significant discounts.

But maybe being digital is such a huge hit in the first place that it doesn't ultimately matter. I have no idea. Hence, why I said it seems possible.
I like the learn to cook analogy. It's perfect.

Also a good retort to the whole "you don't need to go to a famous culinary school to ger hired as a chef".
Why is a credit card so horrible? It is designed to be given away anyway.

And if FB stole it, congrats, you are rich off the settlement.
The selling point for me was ability to configure it using Kubernetes CRD's and future support of the Gateway API (under development - <https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/>).

Developers can version their API now within helm charts or even yaml templates held along the code in their repositories.
The idea of talking about the ridiculous modern abstraction of the state and claiming it has moral relevance is far more absurd.

Good to call out for safety reasons. FYI - this is when we transitioned to the Merlin Sleepsuit which prevents them from turning over but does not fully restrain their arms.
Which "they" asked for it back? Do they speak for everyone in doing so?
And just because it exists, doesn't mean it's "right".

Your link is the only one I could find on the first page of google that states "and" means decimal point. Every other source I could find says "100.17" is either "one hundred point one seven" or "one hundred point seventeen".
You are aware that Confluence is a company specific, and proprietary, reinvention of a wheel (wikis)? And it's not even a particularly good one. It's mainly popular because it gets bundled with Jira by Atlassian. People use it because it is there; not because it is particularly good at what it does.

Your central thesis is that code and documentation are two very different things. Donald Knuth, who knows a thing or two about writing both documentation and code, invented literate programming because he disagrees with that. The key point of literate programming is that writing good code is a form of documenting your thought process for the benefit of other programmers who may have to maintain and understand your code.

Confluence is part of the reason I run an Atlassian free company. I've never been impressed with Atlassian tooling. Most of the tools I use instead support things like Markdown and some other sane things. It's fine as a poor man's word processor but it's a bit of a straight jacket. Don't get me started on Jira.
Given that the areas they moved out of now have problems with crime, maybe it was a rational decision to move out?
A decade ago this story would have been about PayPal. In fact, I remember stories that are almost identical from that time period.

If they really did get in hope they grabed the internal company communications etc so we can finally criminally prosecute the people that have systematically and knowingly broken the law.

Additionally even if the information might not be admissible in US courts, it is in other countries making travel for those individuals very uncomfortable.

So I'm from Zambia and like in most black African cultures we carry our babies in swaddles across the back of the caregiver (like a backpack). [1]

I'm not exaggerating when I say that right this minute I can't think of a single occasion where I've ever seen a baby crying while being carried like this and most are fast asleep while the caregiver goes about their business.

The thing is that Steam and other platforms use the amount of interest early on as a sign on how to promote the game. So a game just published with 50 purchases the first few hours, will get promoted to more gamers than a game with the same amount of sales spread over a longer time. Therefore it can be important to build a semi-big following on other platforms before release, to give that initial boost in the beginning.

I have that looming above me.
I lost access to the 2FA phone number a year ago. Google puts me in a login authentication loop when I try to change the phone number, even after logging in to the account.

My previous phone provider deleted my number. They only told me by SMS, which I never received, because I kept the phone off. I used it on only for restoring accounts.

Now I wait for the inevitable to happen. I use Protonmail. And I will lose access to GMail eventually. Then it’s time to GDPR the shit out of them.

I wonder if it's practical to set up email forwarding to backup account so you can at least get password resets from other services that use your email address. Is it common to have a Google login on another site, then password reset to 'de-google' it?

After reading this comment I tried to disable the 2FA with phone apps that I never asked for. Curiously, I'm not even signed in the app - I'm signed in Google Calendar but I get the prompts in Gmail app where I'm signed into work account only.

Anyway, it's not possible to configure 2FA in the way we want. The Google prompts configuration says "To turn off Google prompts on a device, sign out of your Google Account on that device."

There's no way to enforce the Authenticator. Not even make it default.
Just wanted to say that I always upvote threads like this, just to help people get proper customer support that they deserve.

I would love to know your take on why the coding guidelines are laughable?
I completely agree.

If I get hacked, it's on me. Google can even add a "you can't sue us for damages" clause in their Terms (which they probably already have) - just don't lock me out of my own freaking account.
The name is generally really unfortunate, and I wish they would switch back to KDE for the Desktop Environment (and call the framework Klibs or KDElibs or something).

Many people have positive associations with KDE, but associate Plasma with bloaty QML based desktop widgets from the KDE4 era. If they even associate it with KDE, and not with plasma TVs or blood plasma.
Likely because this is a Canadian company, though I have no experience with Canadian government services myself, but I would agree with you, being in the US. This statement, applied to the US is laughably hilarious in most of the country.

This seems like a lot of transistors for such a simple game....

If they could reduce the number of scanlines on the monitor, they could get many hundreds of clock cycles per pixel, and then do everything in software. 512 instructions seems quite possible for that - compare to 'boot sector games' which run in about one third of the space.
Try and get a lawyer involved, it’s basically your only chance.
Yes the EU does do that sometimes, but roaming charges aren't exactly a great example. What happened there is that relatively wealthy people who travel a lot got themselves a rebate that average earners are now having to pay for through their phone bills.

If roaming charges were high because there wasn't enough competition in the market then that's what the EU should have tackled. Otherwise high prices will just move on to other items on our phone bills and the whole thing becomes a game of whack-a-mole that the best connected special interest groups will always win.

Governments should regulate to make sure that markets actually work and that everybody has basic rights such as getting access to their own data after proving who they are.
Root file system (rootfs) that's based on dev-unstable branch of KDE Neon. This doc is obviously not aimed at non-techs, but for Linux-savy people the first sentence should fully explain the heading.
2FA is a step backwards, at least in the way most services implement it where you totally depend on a phone (I know there are other ways to do 2FA).

I know that passwords are insecure (or at least, most people's passwords are) but I'd rather have that than tying all my identity to a phone.

Since I started using the internet in the 90s I haven't ever had any password-related incident that I know of. Now I have a constant fear of my phone being lost or stolen. I do have an export of the authenticator files, but what if it fails, or if the phone thief starts doing bad stuff since some services are going so crazy with 2FA that they relax the rest of their security? (I have seen Yahoo mail sometimes not asking for password at all, just some SMS code).

I only use 2FA where it's mandatory (unfortunately, more and more services) and I wish it were forbidden to make it mandatory, at least in this form where you totally depend on a phone.
