For the people who do it that often, roaming charges are not a problem. Even before they disappeared, they were not that expensive.

The people who benefit most are those who cross a border to go to work, those with family in a different country, and normal people taking advantage of the unsustainably low prices of intra-EU flights. Not really rich people.
It's amazing how few people seemed to understand that NoSQL existed long before Mongo's marketing team cashed in on the trend. I was using various NoSQl solutions before they were trendy.
Bunny does now have DNS - though it is still in beta. Don't think they have support for sub-accounts/client access though
_Any_ message without context leaves me anxious. I can't tell you why, but getting a blind invite from the HoE with various C-suites on it always gets me spooked. I hate it, but after 17 years, I get on with it. Usually a quick message to someone to ask for some context as to what the meet is about is enough to calm me.
Misleading to state that this turns your TV or set-up box into a fully hackable device, while the software just runs on a RaspberryPI
I'm with you. But why only when dominant? A human interaction possibility shall be part of any crucial service. Companies shall spend money for this and pay well trained personal. I know it is often vice versa and especially what mega corps try to avoid and therefore it must be enforced?
Amazon is doing that rather good. With Google I had a hard time when an order failed, they weren't able to tell me why and re-rooted my calls to the wrong country because of my phone number...
I dream of stdmeta for e.g. header lines:

I see much potential in adding stdjson as well, but I do caution against opening the floodgates to std* being implemented for every pet format and insignificant corner case.
What is your point of reference in history? When did people ever have to deal with a sole or multiple "hey can we talk" followed by an unspecified amount of time and supposedly handled it more gracefully? At the top of my head that is not how communication ever worked at a large scale and, certainly, hearing those words from a spouse or being asked into the bosses office without knowing why, has always been pretty anxiety inducing for a lot of people.
no possible for average person...
Expense doesn’t always mean purely financial. There is an environmental cost to buying something new as well, and a social cost in supporting the manufacture of electronics that may have less than perfect supply chain ethical standards.

I’m not saying this to be snarky or judgemental - your comment genuinely made me think about the issue and this was my response.
Upstream you wrote that iMessage is better than … in multiple dimensions. I've never used iMessage and am chronically curious. I understand from your comments and those of others that the UI is one such dimension, even if opinions vary (don't they always). Could you elaborate on what makes iMessage better other than the user interface?
If I were you, I would try to reach to the blog poster.

OK, I have little doubt that many readers of HN could find something here, but I think that for the vast majority of people finding a blog post will be a lot easier than an HN post.
Styling will be an obvious advantage, you will be able to take a very quick look at a blog post and be able to remember if it's what approximately you saw before or not. You will need to read at least partially through an HN post to gather if it is the wrong one and reject it.
You have pivoted the conversation completely from crypto lacking certain abilities consumers find crucial, specifically reversing transactions and protection from fraud, into a conversation about state surveillance. I am not going to defend police states or mass surveillance.
"The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . That system has been on the life-support of quantitative easing and near zero interest rates ever since. Indeed, so perilous a state has the system been in since 2008, it was essential that the people who claim to be our leaders avoid doing anything so foolish as to lockdown the economy or launch an undeclared economic war on one of the world’s biggest commodity exporters . . .
And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders – at least within the western empire – have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union."

Gimp’s UI is really awful. ffmpeg’s UI is also bad, but at least it’s a CLI, so it’s easy to search for.
Take it a step further and tell them you've got 2 weeks to live.
IIRC, you are correct. gang-bangers are usually the dangerous kind, always strapped and making sure no other gang is crossing/doing business on their blocks. Throwing signs and intimidating is their main duty. Usually come up to you and ask 'Watchu is?' if you have the hoodlum look, ready to war.

Gangmembers are older(and less dangerous by themselves) and some have gone through 'banging', others have joined through other means.
They used to have the kids do the banging since laws are more lax on minors, and the kids are usually the hot heads who need to prove themselves.
Members count the money and are in charge of administration, when organized proper.
Im sure there is more to the heirarchy but usually a member wont come at you by themselves. they send the foot soldiers if they have beef with someone. Members are fairly weak, drugged up, care about the money. They come at you with numbers. Bangers are extremely dangerous by themselves.
Yes, but I omitted step four:

4. Gradually move things over to the new address as you notice things which still use the old one, possibly over the course of years.

Eventually you will run out of reasons to keep your gmail account and you can just close it. I migrated from gmail using this approach and it was not difficult in the least.
Google login is getting worse and worse.

My son school gives them a google login. I can login on a PC. But on Android you can't login with Chrome because there can be only one google account linked to a device. When I try to login with Firefox (even with the correct password), it says that they can't verify it's me and that I should contact the domain admin.

I get what you are saying now. Agree if the right actors are on it, all those doesn’t matter. Sorry about that.
My mom has two numbers for 2FA SMS on Google, one is hers and one is mine. I’d highly recommend anyone in any situation that involves phone numbers for 2FA to never only use one. If that’s not feasible, use one of the other “phone independent” options (like recovery codes on paper).
If you ask the person who put the satellite up to pay, you have a problem that that company might be bankrupt/gone in 50 years when their satellite becomes junk.

If you make them put up insurance or a bond, it's a massive cash cost to have a $1B bond for 50 years...

And you would be needing $1B or more, because the worse case is a satellite gets smashed into 100,000 pieces, and you're going to need a lot of debris collection missions to get rid of them all...

Robots treated better than humans? What sort of -ism is this?
Incorrect logic. One of the French politicians could have consulted experts and the other one might not, for instance. That's not uncommon. In other countries that happened all the time, think about Donald Trump musing about injecting bleach to kill the virus. Personally, I'd vote for the politicians who follow expert advise in such matters.

Where is this option?
Can you explain by what process being a paying customer with Google Drive/Google One helps you recover your account if experiencing what OP described?
The content of the article is good. I do feel the title is click-baity in my opinion. This was not necessary.

Progress in any field of endeavour is never a smooth process, I think most people who know a bit of science/math know that. This is not "making it up" as we go along, rather I would say it is the usual process of experimentation. This is the normal process of discovery and the article explains how math progresses in often non-monotonic, discontinuous steps.

So, once again, good article with good content but I wish there was some other title to it.
I agree that a standardized structured format would be awesome, but I'm not convinced that JSON is it. And there should _not_ be more than one.

One thing that I do like about JSON is that it is ubiquitous - and that makes up for a lot of its other faults. But I would like to see proposed use cases that JSON would not support beforehand, to clearly define where the limitations are, and what limitations the community is willing to accept.
This post is so out of touch with regular people I don't even know how to answer. It's just ridiculous.
You might need to understand what system requirements are. "Recommended" or "Minimum" hardware these is what developers has tested on and where they provide support. Some games are never designed for whole hardware classes like laptops. If you complain that game does not run on hardware that does not meet "minimum" requirements you are complaining that 1 > 0 is true. The only reasonable response for devs is to provide refund of money spent on purchasing game.
My kid's school is very sensible about this. If they have to phone you during the day for something minor they always start with "Hello, this is <school name>, there's nothing to worry about." It saves parents that 5 seconds of panic that something terrible has happened.

> don't just say hello in chat.

This drives me crazy. It's like they are trying to maximise the amount of other people's time they're wasting.
So, let's see. To emulate the ERC-721 smart contract you would need:

1. An API to transfer ownership, updating the owner_id field in the database for the spaceship.

2. Legal obligations preventing EVE from reversing the transaction or tampering with your "wallet".

3. Legal documents making you the owner of said spaceship where you and only you can administer it in the future, forever.

4. A full and open audit log of every API call to said API endpoint.

5. Legal assurance 1 and 4 are true and transparent.

6. Measures taken to assure that the API and database will stay online and legal obligations enforced forever.

Even with all these fulfilled a rogue actor could wreck havoc since it would still be centralized, while in a smart contract these things are enforced in code. For me, that difference alone is so big that I can't even compare them.

In all honesty, it feels the only reason we don't just say "wow, it's cool that we have a technology that intrinsically supports this" is because it's a cryptocurrency.
The regulators should be blocking such acquisitions
I know everyone will say "this won't happen to me" but you might be surprised how quickly even a technically savvy user can stumble into this situation with a few wrong clicks of the mouse.

In my case, I did the Google "security checkup" and clicked "yes" when it asked if I wanted to improve my security by using my phone as a security factor. I thought this was just going to cause it to generate those helpful "Did you just sign in" prompts. No: that option actually signs you up to use your phone as a hardware security token which requires you to physically connect your phone through its USB port. Guess what doesn't work on my phone? My freakin USB-C port (!!!!). Eventually I found the loophole that signing in from the hardware key device itself prompts you to use a different 2nd factor and I was able to disable the security that way. It boggles my mind that I was able to enable that security option without proving I could actually use the hardware device to unlock first. But it completely activated it without me ever doing that.
Some years ago we had fun with a client who had systems that insist staff reference numbers are zero-padded, but users like processing data via Excel before uploading for us to import or otherwise process. Even just opening and accidentally saving (habit, accidental change followed by undo with enough time between for auto save to kick in, etc) when intending just to open to inspect, will step the leading zeros off in a CSV. So all code dealing with their manual inputs or bulk imports needs to be aware that those codes may or may not have leading zeros so cannot be used as simple string values as they should be. For extra fun, in one case after a company merge/purchase some codes were padded to a different length so treating them as numbers or unpadded strings internally and padding with zeros for display/export/other wasn't as clear as you'd think.
I'm not projecting, and not making it political.

Maybe it's you that are possibly projecting here, by assuming that because I referenced a political convention, that I'm making it political.

(EDIT: Yes, I did write 'political'. It's totally my fault. I didn't mean to write that word. I meant to use a different term, 'political' came out and I didn't edit it. My bad. I meant to infer a 'social posture')

That ultra empathetic posture, to the point of literally debilitating the conference itself - is just something that happened at that conference, which happened to be a Socialist Convention. It doesn't have anything to do with socialism. Even if it does, by the way, seem to be a part of elements of communication of 'that side' - it likely just has more to do with personality types, because it's obviously not political.

If you want to see the video yourself it's here [1].

And by the way - this video is just a snapshot, there's much more hilarity floating out there.

And finally I don't really think "Can we chat?" has much to do with 'remote culture' or 'remote work' ... I know my manager would often walk by my cube and say the same thing. Perhaps more frequent, but not really an element of culture.

It's also perfectly reasonable.

I wish I knew how to describe the variation of anxiety that this might arise, or what to do about it (meditation? CBT?) , but I don't suggest it's anyone's problem but the person who is made anxious.

I know for myself, after hearing it the 1st time, I wouldn't be anxious the second time or later. It's just an opportunity to talk.

But irrevocability is a problem for this use case, right? Someone is bound to get hacked, lose keys or whatever, and then there's no way to actually prove, inside the blockchain, that it wasn't a legitimate transfer.

Anyways, I think the bigger problem is that neither GPG nor blockchain actually solve the "ownership" problem of digital assets. These can be copied without any problem, so proving which ones are original and which ones aren't is impossible without some kind of DRM or verification service, and that's not something that can be done with the blockchain.
While I’m generally all for consumer protections, you cannot secure against cases like this. The person affected was obviously ignoring repeated prompts for a current phone number, on a free account nonetheless.

The only reliable alternative I see is requiring a government photo ID containing a permanent physical address on account creation. I wouldn’t want that, would you? And even then, some would manage to create impossible situations.

It sucks, really hard. No other way to paint it. I’m not arguing for Google here. Still, the user has responsibilities too. If you ignore an oil warning light on your car for too long, eventually the engine breaks.
Recently Farcebook has started recommending incredibly toxic anti-SJW shit to me for no apparent reason. Either they turned the "let's incite toxicity" knob to 11 or somebody is seriously abusing them.

There's an old saying in photography, "the best camera is the one you have with you".

IMHO its very much the same thing with 2FA.

Any 2FA is better than no 2FA.

Sure some 2FA options are more secure than others, but by the same token, there's also a scary number of websites out there that have zero 2FA options. Others make it inordinately difficult to find (e.g. I'm looking at you Slack ... finding where to turn on 2FA in Slack is a nightmare).

Ironically there's no 2FA option for HN either. ;-)
The testing doc says it's against the agreement, but from a 1 minute look at the agreement, I can't find where the agreement bans testing in live mode. Do you see it?
Google is already in the payments business, which requires a significant amount of identity verification. They aren't at the level you're describing, but they're also not completely new to the business of verifying IDs, albeit via uploaded photographs rather than physical kiosks.
Technically you’re right. They collect data on me and my behavior and then sell access to my screen real estate in an abstracted way. I am more than willing to pay for services in exchange for being exempted from adsense, and from being tracked and profiled across the net. But I’m going to fight back when I’m the product. Youtube premium doesn’t offer that option- they will continue to collect data on my behavior even if they don’t show me advertising, because they don’t want to make public the true nature of the exchange.
Is it a Google Policy or a policy set by the school?
How do you setup two numbers in 2fa?
I'll dismiss claims that it's a massive shift in society until it actually... causes a shift in society.

Unless you consider "A new way for grifters to run ponzi schemes" a societal shift, then there's no evidence of any alleged shift, nevermind a massive one.

But you choosing to believe that it is indeed a massive shift in society, well, that's on you, but more likely, that's _from_ you. You want to believe.
You are using word "smart contract" like it's some magic spell. You can't make a contract with external inputs, from outside the blockchain. Or more precisely, you can't make a reliable "sc" with such inputs. And no, those people claiming to "solve" oracle problem didn't solve anything.

You can't have "smart contracts" applied to the real world without centralised entities controlling them. Therefore they are mostly redundant and unnecessary.

Regarding the size of the title - I admit I don't know much about that area, but I know enough to doubt your claim that majority or even any titles can be reduced under the kilobyte. Splitting info into multiple tokens will only make things even worse.

Also this doesn't address the issue that UX of centralised entity working with such system will be atrocious. You postulate that there will be no centralised entity, but imho that's pure fiction.

And lastly - IPFS will never be adopted for anything important because it doesn't have safety guarantees. Not even with those services promising guarantees for some regular payment. Because subscription can run out, that service may close or anything else can happen, IPFS still can't guarantee file safety. That's a nice toy, but nothing more in the current implementation.
Why would anyone willingly and knowingly do business with someone like you? This attitude is wildly inappropriate both in formal, business relations, and in private, social ones. To treat someone like that is something that should bring a person to bury their head in their hands out of shame.
It probably is, but not all jurisdictions have a small claims court and even those that do, it can be quite cumbersome compared to the lost money
The identity checks also introduce their own vulnerabilities, in the form of social engineering where there wasn't an escalation route before.

Solutions like yubikeys and passkeys theoretically solve this problem, but open other problems: not least what if you lose the key or the device that the passkey is stored on? Then you're no longer you as far as the authenticating party (Google in this case) is concerned. What's more, whoever stole your phone is you as far as they care, because that's all they have to say who is who.

Your devices should require further authentication (password/biometrics) but is that a guarantee? Could Google or anyone else really guarantee that any client device connecting to their service is unhackable, bearing in mind that many of their users may be on cheaply made and fully out-of-support Android devices or Windows XP?

It's a really hard problem to solve.
Because they don't care and will not change anything. Tried it -- no less than 15 times in my long career. Same result every time.

Management by default attracts people who think they cracked it all (lol). It's an ego trip for many and they are usually impossible to truly reason with.
He's talking about Ukraine. I'm thinking that Western Europe can and should follow his great example.

I live in Finland. Nobody's freezing to death here next winter, and most of Europe is in warmer zones than we are.

We're fine. Russia is fucked if they keep following this insane path their dictators have put them on.
