Is that productive investment?
Multiple layers are always better. If your computer or browser is compromised, then your password manager's secrets have been pwned, but with 2FA your accounts are still safe (assuming the 2FA is on a separate device, which it really should be)

There's also non-tech users to consider. It's pretty hard to convince users to use a password manager; plenty of people still re-use the same password across sites. It's impossible to prevent that. But it is possible to enforce 2FA for _your_ site.
Maxima does something like this. It's weird to use. I think := for assignment makes more sense if you want = for equality (i.e. like Pascal etc.).
That doesn't pass the smell test. A "raw" solar panel in China costs about 25 cents / W, and each watt should produce about 45kWh over its lifetime (5W per day for 25 years). If the embodied energy in the panel is half of the lifetime energy, that means that there is 22kWh of embodied energy in that W of solar panel, and they're selling that embodied energy for about 1 cent / kWh. And that assumes that there are no costs to the panel other than the embodied energy.

A rule of thumb is that embodied energy in a finished manufactured product sells for about $1/kWh. By that rule of thumb, the embodied energy in a solar panel is about 0.5% of the energy it will produce over its lifetime.
Not too surprised that so many HNers don't know this, so I should have explained better in the previous comment. The Federalist party called for a strong national government to fix all the ills in the previously weak confederation, and they succeeded spectacularly, making the US the most powerful government on Earth instead of a bunch of warring factions making their own treaties, regulations, money, and tariffs. The very first aim of the Federalist Society is "checking federal power."
We treat thrift stores as our "off-site storage unit" and the amazing thing is it's a distributed storage site. When we don't use a thing we drop it off at the nearest thrift store. If we need it back we just hit the thrift stores around town until we find something close to what we were looking for and for a nominal fee we get it back.
I get up for work, do the kids thing, but then I walk nearly all the way to the train station, order a coffee as if I'm headed to the office, pick it up, turn around and walk back home.

I completely agree with you. Routine is important and the first half hour of walking is usually trash, the real important thinking and debriefing happens in the 2nd half hour. I don't listen to podcasts or wear headphones anymore to get there sooner.
Yup, I built this. The file storage is only for the FIDO2/WebAuthN device, which generates large private keys for each credential; the U2F device keys are small enough that they are actually encrypted/stored in the key identifier that is passed in by the client.

I’m currently working on trying to expand this out with new features, as most of the work here was actually emulating the USB device which involved a lot of different layers of protocols.
Wrong - mfa is to prevent credentials stuffing mostly
Did I really need to insert "generally" in one of my sentences above?
this might help w/ adoption. it would be _really nice_ to use FIDO, but I don't want to restrict my usability to people willing to carry a key around. as a compromise I think having a weaker key is better than having paths where pki is disabled
I don't understand the threat model there. Wouldn't nearly all hacks that lead to plain text passwords also allow the hacker to access all the login-protected data, making a more secure login process pointless?
Let's not sell Lisp short here. LC might be mathematically foundational, but I think it's fair to say that Lisp is computationally foundational. Mathematics and computation are related, of course, but they are not identical. Computation is the study of mechanical processes for doing math. As such, Lisp's identification of CONS/CAR/CDR/COND as a sufficient set of primitives for a universal Turing machine is important because it's obvious (or at least it was obvious by 1958) how those primitives can be implemented as a mechanical process. Implementing LAMBDA in all its generality is far less obvious, which is why it took 20 years of further research to go from Lisp 1 to Scheme.

I mean, if you read the ruling, it’s based on a bunch of stuff. Your comment seems to me like a case in point—correct me if I’m misunderstanding your point.
I was surprised to learn that I’m technically “overweight” according to BMI charts. I’m 5’8” and 165 lbs, but I have a slightly muscular build and fairly lean at 12% body fat. I have visible abdominal muscles, yet I don’t lift weights or do any body building either.

If I’m overweight by those standards, it makes me skeptical of articles like this, and sometimes I even question the validity of the entire obesity epidemic.
The stronger statement is true: as green energy becomes increasingly cheaper than dirty, industries will transition to clean wherever they can. New industry will start out using cheaper green, and green generation capacity is almost all new.
Because the free flow of information is essential to democracy, it is in the Public Interest to support a market of new and established flourishing information service providers, not a market of exploited must-carry'ers subject to district-level criteria for ejection or free water for life. Shouldn't all publications, all information services be subject to any and all such Equal Time and Must-Carry interpretations?

Your newspaper may not regulate viewpoints: in its editorial section or otherwise. Must carry. Equal time.

So that's why I think it's a good argument for lump-summing a windfall rather than DCA-ing a windfall.
Actually, it's considered legislating when stare decisis is abandoned.
I use a yubikey with x509 cert and PIN for local auth to my Mac, and I use it for FIDO2 MFA everywhere that supports it, which includes my email account. That makes my email credentials radically more resistant to phishing, which is huge given that email is part of the recovery story for every other account.

If those aren’t enough, I guess yubikeys aren’t the right call for your threat model, which is fine.
Putting the advertising issue to the side, I think this account is exploitative and uses questionable methods for producing videos.

> Direct question: do you know what this claim of me cancelling Siskind could mean, since OP doesn't seem able to answer?

That I'm not sure on: I wasn't asking to accuse you of cancelling Siskind, I was asking to hear your description of the events. Given you have actual descriptions of events in a chronology, I tend to believe your story on this one.

> Also, wtf it has to do with Buterin.

Well, nothing--it was an ad hominem attack on you by the poster. It's Hacker News: a lot of people here are capitalist to the point of sociopathy, and will defend any money making venture even if it means abandoning ethics, logic, evidence, and/or social acceptability. You lost the respect of most of Hacker News, but have you seen the guys these people respect?

> Siskind is certainly one of the "There are a million of these guys, and they all have long and wordy blogs" reasoners from first principles rather than knowing things that I was talking about in the linked post, but there are (as I say) a heck of a lot of them.

I don't get the feel that Siskind was just reasoning from first principles--that was some of what he did on SSC, but I do think he knew a lot as well (and, given he has a doctorate, there's at least a few people who agree on that point). If anything, I think what I got a lot of from SSC was the opposite: using knowledge to figure out what the first principles are.

As for there being a lot of these guys and a lot of words: I'm not sure why I should care about either of these criticisms.
Is there something HN could do to discourage this?

User flagging of articles is the existing mechanism.

It works pretty well unless, perhaps ironically in regard to the Fifth Circuit ruling, the moderators deliberately disable flags to allow the submission leeway.

Or unless users who dislike that sort of thread don’t flag it.

As an aside, a few years ago during the political silly season, HN tried banning political articles completely.

That lasted less than a week.

Anyway, the nature of that type of topic is to spark dumpster fires in the comments.

The simplest thing that might solve your immediate displeasure is avoiding the temptation to walk down the alley.

Good luck.
Right but they were fighting over the direction of a type of political economy that predated all of them. Smith and other original thinkers that framed capitalism did so in opposition to mercantilism. Capitalism was a reaction to. And in many ways criticism of mercantilism.
You aren’t on the side of this line you think you are.
Slavery is an existence proof for the general principle, not a direct comparison to Uber. I made clear reference to higher standards we could also choose to draw, that would be more relevant to gig work. I think I made it pretty damn clear I'm not opposed to gig work in principle. Don't ask me to compromise my arguments for some wooly notion of "respect" that's violated by the bare mention of slavery in a context that also disusses less horrible things. That makes everyone dumber.

Of all forums, on HN I feel I ought to be able to make a precise logical statement, meaning no more or less than I said, and be understood correctly. I like to think that most readers did, and the commenters (you less so, I'll grant) trying to draw obviously stupid conclusions from my careful wording are the minority.
> It implements LISP in 163,654 bits of BLC. For comparison, minimal esoteric languages like BLC itself can be implemented in 232 bits of BLC, and Brainfuck in 893 bits.

That's hardly a fair comparison. LambdaLisp includes a ton of features that BLC and BF do not.

Not quite. A second factor would allow me to reduce the complexity of my password while retaining the same level of security.

Without that the only benefit of a Yubikey over a strong password saved in a password manager is phishing protection, which I'm not willing to pay that amount of money for.

All I want is to be able to use Touch ID for services that only support Yubikey. At my workplace this means Duo - they have Touch ID support, but only in Chrome! In Safari or Firefox Touch ID is not an option which is very annoying.

I would be very interested in a virtual Yubikey backed by Touch ID and the Secure Enclave.
Hm, I wonder if the authors fine-tuned the feature set (and font size!) to achieve this outcome :-)
"trusted" doesn't mean you want to, but that you have to.

This is one of the very few things I like about German laws relating to tech (I'm not German): They absolutely do require an "Imprint" section in every web site with such information.

Eating Ourselves to Death
I was admittedly confused and had to read your comment a few times.

It has been empirically proven that a higher minimum wage does hurt the lowest paid workers the most by forcing them out of the labor market and raising prices. Now as the other posted not so eloquently pointed out research, especially sociology (infamously in 2006 ~18% of social scientists considered themselves marxists), is a very left-leaning field and there is a lot of disingenuous research. The two most common bad studies I've seen say a very modest minimum wage hike doesn't cause layoffs, which is usually because everything is within the margin of error, or we see studies that say given enough time they see a benefit but this doesn't usually include inflation, forcing those workers to relocate, or a variety of other real world effects. But the fact raising the minimum wage hurts the lowest paid workers is just a fact
Very nice work! This is one step closer to a password manager that doesn't actually need to store any passwords, just one key.

I'm not very familiar with FIDO2, but I thought the private keys for each credential were derived from the single key in the device and the website's domain? Is that not the case? Or are you just generating separate credentials per site and keeping those?

If the latter, couldn't you derive all credentials from a single source of randomness and skip the storage?
Since 1password ubiquity on all my platforms of choice, I just mash the keyboard. I wish 1p had a username generator built in like what docker does when creating container names.

Snazzy-peacock sounds mighty fine for a username :)
> I can't figure out why I'd want a Yubikey.

Do you use SSH ? Yubikeys are a fabulous way to store SSH keys.

Also bear in mind that aside from a secure storage mechanism, Yubkeys can also be configured to require pin and/or touch.

Therefore no matter what gets onto your computer, the Yubikey won't provide the answer unless touched.
I recently noticed a collections agency sending emails that don't pass DKIM checks. Since the company's main business model is invoicing via email and their revenue is substantial, I'm positive it's malice, not incompetence. An intentional way of racking up late fees.

I’m never met anyone who was shamed for being bald. Being bald isn’t much of a choice.
The academic consensus is, in fact, that minimum wage hikes hurt the lowest paid workers by forcing them out of the labor market and raising prices. I'm not sure what the other guy was talking about
Wouldn't this reduce security considerably, for the scenario where the computer is compromised?
Only up to a point. Not everyone can be "supremely good leaders" but most can become better than average. The difference is personality and especially empathy and charisma. Without those, it's hard to reach the heights.

Even if you subscribe to the viewpoint that Facebook is a "pipe" rather than the speaker, it seems hard to avoid the idea that Facebook's choice of which speech it is a pipe for constitutes free speech by Facebook. Nobody should be confused as to whether a newspaper is the author of letters to the editor, but it has a 1st amendment right to choose which letters to publish.

Lithium is 0.002% of the Earth's crust. The Earth's crust weighs 2.77 * 10^22 kg. Each car needs about 30kg of lithium. Therefore we have enough lithium for about 2*10^15 cars.

Some software for storage products is C. I imagine other conservative industries could be similar.

But I have also heard that although the senior devs would prefer to stick to C for technical reasons, they have started to use/embrace C++ for hiring reasons (since many grads are taught C++). So I wouldn't be surprised if finding "pure" C codebases/ones without C++ is getting harder. The eco-system around C++ (e.g. test frameworks) certainly seemed healthier. It's been a few years though, so I might not have a good picture any more.
Yes, that's why I was specifically comparing it to all forms of government and not just democracy. I was trying to head off this misinterpretation of my point before it happened. :/

You are conflating two things:

Yes. I’m sure conservatives would love it if the government also forced everyone to believe in the one true God and go to church every Sunday.
