Finally. Everyone seems to assume that 2FA is a great idea, but it is, in fact, a problem in itself, and a much larger problem than unauthorized access ever was. Unauthorized access was never an ubiquitous problem like 2FA definitely is. Unauthorized access was an exception. The only UA I had heard of prior to 2FA being rolled out was with users of Yahoo Mail. I can understand that some institutions may have experienced it more because they had so many users, but 2FA punishes everyone. Just consider the sheer amount of time it has wasted since being rolled out everywhere, 30 seconds at a time. It's centuries of wasted time by now to solve an issue affecting as little as 1% of users.

And 2FA can be defeated through social engineering, and it is defeated constantly in this way. I would far preferred password requirements with 80-bits of entropy than everywhere I log into requiring I collect a 6 digit number from an email, app, SMS message, etc.

But nearly everyone here seems to think this extra little bit of work at every login is a good thing, assuming they would ever have an account compromised. Seriously, how many here ever was compromised prior to 2FA? I've been online since 1983, and I had never come across it personally until after 2FA was rolled out.

Ignoring the personal inconvenience, 2FA's inconvenience increases exponentially for every 10 users being supported. Supporting 2FA among 10K users globally, just 2FA in itself, becomes a full time job for more than one administrator, when previously, those 10K users were commonly supported by a single tech.

Frankly, I'd far far rather take the risk of unauthorized access than being strong-armed into using 2FA. The amount of time 2FA wastes is far more than the time wasted by unauthorized access. The solution is far worse than the problem ever was.
Apartments do not have to be noisy. A well built apartment with concrete floors and concrete interior walls greatly reduces noise. There are many other things that can be done to reduce noise, double pane (or triple) windows, carpeted floors, apartment noise policy.
I dropped out of a MBA after they had us learning that managers and employees are separate classes of people. It's just not in my character to ever think like this.

I personally believe the best managers are those who have been at the front line and work their way up. They know the business from bottom-up and know how to treat people at each layer.

Also got super turned off when everyone just compared where they went to get their MBA at. Those who spent like 200k to go to Wharton and do the same job as me always felt weird. Those same types can get a job just about anywhere with that credential alone but also may reduce wages & profits.
> There's also a couple of PR reasons to not want to associate with him, but those are largely off-topic.

They're more than PR reasons if you're one of his "wrong sorts"; personally, I'm not confident trusting (for practical reasons) or comfortable using (for emotional reasons) a piece of software whose MDfL doesn't think I should exist.

It's probably off-topic for this discussion, but it's important to keep in mind if you're building a little community on the Fediverse: your choice of software ties your community's culture – at least partially – to the community of the developers. Your users will want to submit bug reports, and so on.
> When selecting for among three options, there are seven unique approval votes (the all marked/unmarked votes, expressing no preference, are equivalent), and only six ranked unique choice votes.

No, they're both six. There are 8 unique approval votes (2^3) but two are thrown out -- the all-marked and all-unmarked, so you're left with 6, same as ranked. RCV and approval absolutely do convey equivalent information in the case of three candidates.

I don't know where you're getting seven from.
I wonder how much time is used for 2fa in the entire economy each day.
I think that’s my destiny. No, really.

I know a lot of crazy conservatives who believe a lot of crazy things. They are almost all older.

They also all have these stories of genuinely crazy, but factually true, things that eroded their trust in institutions and consensus narrative over the past several decades or more. So their bar has been lowered to the point that conspiracy theories seem more likely than not.

As I get older, I can see reality hammering on my bar, pushing it lower.

I still buy CDs but Apple Music's spatial audio is the first new gimmick that I'm impressed by. If the rest of my family didn't prefer Spotify, I'd switch to it.
This is pretty much where I’m at. I’m mid 40s and been working in the marine industry for almost 30 years (yes I started that young). I’m going for a career change but I have zero experience in a corporate/modern office setting. I am also self taught. It will be a huge change, and I’m concerned that I may not be hireable. All that being said I’m still going for it as I’d like the rest of my working days actually helping society instead of old white dudes and their boats haha. I’m looking into security/osint.
> Is there another way the .gif saying "DRM" on a web page can be deemed ineffective, unless effective means strong?

Effective generally means "capable of having the desired effect". The "DRM" here actually prevents the user from doing something. Unless you use a tool explicitly meant to circumvent it, or manually delve into developer world yourself, you can't just download it.

The intent is to stop someone with a viable attack on a DRM system from legally spreading it broadly.
He can't do those things. That's not how anything works.
> Millions of Americans live under covenants that prevent them from doing their laundry outside, lest their neighbors see.

It has nothing to do with the neighbors seeing the laundry and it has everything to do with keeping a certain kind of people (historically, poor) from living in these areas.

Aren't you just agreeing with the post you're replying to here, or am I missing something? Both of you make the central point that humans and servers are fundamentally different and that descisions that involve humans must invariably have a moral dimaneion as far as I can see.
I wish I didn't believe in regret but I feel it. I do my best to ignore it and face forward but I still often feel very strong regret for moments daily.

Since high school I wanted a spouse and kids (obviously I imagined a good relationship and good kids)

Now I'm in my late 50s and it's not going to happen. I was always hopeful today I'm going to meet someone. That hope has mostly disappeared.

I regret not trying harder in various ways.
Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but what is stability?
dslrs can use a similar technique that phones use—exposure bracketing—with good or better results depending on a variety of factors.

It does make you wonder if fullsized camera bodies will figure out better bracketing. Exposure time is really important, and you need good computation to align the images and correct for stability.

it's better to get it right during shooting than in post.

I would blame gold itself in that circumstance. The fact that gold is so easy to steal, and so hard to then recover, makes it a poor currency. Fiat currency in an electronic account with a legitimate financial institution is much safer and more secure.
That's a good argument for giving them some other housing arrangement. It's not an argument for leaving them on the street.
Well- it's a minimal statement that I thought most everyone would agree with. You may or may not think he acted in self defense, or you may or may not think what he did was illegal, but at the bare minimum you should be able to agree that 1) people died 2) those people didn't need to die and 3) Kyle Rittenhouse bears responsibility for those deaths. Those 3 facts are sufficient to establish that "Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong" is a false statement. It's an easy target though- the assertion is that he did nothing wrong, which is a very extreme statement and therefore easy to attack.

The photos are intentionally dull. It's just a product of comparing cameras in a controlled environment.

You can go to product pages for the iPhone 14 Pro or Galaxy S22 and see photos with a bit more soul... though still with a forced feeling that comes from marketing.

You can look at professional photos taken with phone cameras circa 2015 and they still look good.
It's even better if in the future crypto becomes legitimate. Then you just have a pile of ill-gotten gains that you can use as ordinary money.

One of my greatest dreads is that at least for this era of humanity’s evolution the National censored/moderated strategy is the correct one. It may be that free speech for a nation was the winning play before the Information Age (and may be again in the future) but isn’t now. I don’t necessarily believe this, but it’s increasingly hard to build compelling arguments against it in the face of mounting evidence.
> It's not $44B that twitter will have available and can spend. Most (all?) will go to current investors to buy their stocks at a set price, which is where the $44B comes from

Why did you feel the need to mention this 100% obvious fact?

Of course I meant that the new owners wouldn't shut down something they just spent $44 billion on, thereby throwing their investment in the trash, not that Twitter would magically get a $44 billion operating cash infusion.
>> Fantasies of "changing the past" are seductive, but ultimately pointless.

Obviously it helps to know where are your costs and your profits, but every company i worked for that used these terms operationally was a bad place to work. Heavy hierarchy and excessive focus on management. Call it how you want but I prefer to not work for people with this mindset.
> Passports require the most paperwork out of anything - your in particular, a birth certificate, a second form of ID including a driver's license, a photo, and $130+$35. The USPS isn't just looking at a face and issuing a passport.

The point is the hardest part of the problem is already solved - which is the physical infrastructure and labor. As for not holding onto physical items, USPS also has little boxes that people can keep their belongings in.
Well, it would certainly simplify some of it! Plenty of non-government uses for accounting; it's just we would have some of those clever people working to produce instead of to account to government.
Hmm, I read it as "just they wanted to treat humans as 'fungible, replaceable cogs in the machine' it's stupid that some people want to do the same things with server". I think the "stupid" modifier is what really pushed me to think that was the case as I don't think the pets-vs-cattle debate for servers is stupid, it makes a lot of sense.
And it's larger than that. A lot of sentiment floating around is about how things should fit 'me' perfectly. There's an inversion of the "force" of society because we can all try to fulfill our apparent needs without anybody.
>wouldn't appreciate it it my neighbors front yard.

I don't get it; why do you care?
Apple’s announcements are all pre-recorded theatrics now. They are attention grabbing, over the top, and sensationalized to feel special.

Props to Google for actually doing their event live, cutting to the chase, and not scaring people into feeling like they will die if they don’t buy product X or Y
Yes, but you are also asking for a bigger commitment.

One solution that I implemented in communick as an attempt to solve both cases: sell group packages. Let one person pay for a group of 5-10 people. This way you can still have a monthly subscription and you lose less money to the payment processors. I was also hoping that would help with network effects, as it would be an incentive for one person to bring others along. Alas, I think I am the only "customer" from my own service that has been using this functionality.
Maybe I did misinterpret, see my reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33122403
Regarding Ansible, I still default to installing with `pip3 install ansible`, which installs the "Ansible Community Distribution" (which is still called "Ansible" even though it seems "ansible-core" is also called "Ansible", but there's also "Ansible by Red Hat" which is the 'Ansible Automation Platform' which includes Tower and other related products...).

The ACD (or what I still call "Ansible") includes everything that was traditionally part of Ansible, and then some, just bundled up into one big install instead of requiring you to install ansible-core then pick and choose collections to install on top.

This covers about 99.9% of all use cases (for Ansible for automation work) still, and for anything else, you can add your own roles or install an additional community collection or two.
> Phones are already touching 1" (almost)

They are barely 1/2" in actual size. The iphone 14 pro sensor for example is 9.8x7.3mm.

When they call them "1/2 inch" or "3/4 inch", they refer to the diameter of a glass tube (ultra old measurement from the CRT days), not the physical size of the sensor. They only continue to name it like that to make people think their sensor is somewhat close to the Full-frame or APS-C that you get in a professional camera.

I took OP the same way, probably because of the use of the word "stupid" to describe the pets-vs-cattle debate. It felt to me that OP was drawing an analogy between said "stupid" debate and the way MBAs discuss employees, rather than drawing a contrast between the two.

You can do anything you want. I switched at 27, with 5 years experience teaching at college and a masters degree in Biology/Chemistry. I jumped into computers. If I get sick of computers I'll do something else.

If it is totally non-fiat, where you can buy housing, food, fuel, devices, luxury items, etc., etc., etc., you would not need to cash out to fiat.

But seriously, in the current world, if we have a half-billion dollars "worth" of legitimate (or laundered) cryptocurrency, what can you do with it in the real world, especially contrasted to what we can do easily if we have a $$half-billion in legit $, €, £, or ¥ deposits?

I don't think we could even buy a Tesla or a pizza anymore. Maybe some things on Craigslist that take crypto?
This thread is self-selecting: people who have no big regrets clearly wouldn't be posting here.
Think of it another way. It will take you a few years to get kinda good at something. Even less to get kinda good enough to be paid for it.

Time is only a factor for retirement. Your career will mostly be forgotten when you retire anyway.
Has anyone tried to approach music theory without any historical underpinnings (and preferably ignorant of it). I'm thinking of something that started with cog sci and signal processing, and maybe ML. Don't bother linking the obligatory xkcd. I know it is the height of hubris to think that approach would produce anything like quality music for decades, but I think it might give insight to things that were left over from technical limitations or random chance. How far down the rabbit hole have experimental composers gone in questioning everything down to the foundation, and then kept digging?
FWIW, you are never too old to start. The older you get, the more getting in at least some exercise counts.

> "Firefighting" is being used in two different contexts here. In the SRE document, it means literal incident response, while in the Staff Eng context, it means "addressing whatever the organizational P0 is", which may occasionally be a literal incident, but it may also be developing an incident response team, or lending a hand to a project that is behind schedule, or...whatever.

Good point. That's right.

> There's always something that is highest priority, and having a floating person(s) who can continually identify and provide support for whatever that thing is isn't a sign of a dysfunctional organization.

Yes, I do think that "floating" is an appropriate term here. I've also seen "consulting engineer" used in this context within large multinational organizations.

However, I would point out that too much floating may be a sign of diminishing returns on matrix management.

I did an MBA and what opened my eyes was the contempt for customers, treating them as an annuity, which maybe works if they come back because of good service, but in practice turns every interaction into a way to extract more money and get more lock-in.
If they are smart enough to pull this off, they are probably smart enough launder it. And you don't need to launder all of it. Just $20 million is enough to live like a king for the rest of your life.
>putting in a dishonest vote for a non-preferred candidate because that provides a better chance at matching their preferences

This still somewhat exists. For example, with score voting: preferences A>B>C but you really hate C, and he's leading in polls. It might be reasonable to "dishonestly" score B higher. This minimizes chances that C wins, and while it doesn't harm A it does decrease strength of your preference for A>B. "Dynamic range compression" is good way to put it, or maybe "ballot influence conservation": one ballot has fixed influence, and you can either spend it entirely on A/B>C or A>B/C, or any ratio in between.

That’s clearly untrue. Employers source computers from a few selected vendors and generally issue computers with average specifications because they can buy them in bulk and they are good enough. You can get a laptop with a more powerful GPU at most place if you actually need one.

No one is scared of employees gaming. Employees can’t install applications themselves on their laptops at most place.

> Aside from IBM's odd marketing ("Get Warped" ?!?!?)

IBM originally decided to call OS/2 3.0 “Warp” as in “warp speed”, and market the OS with a Star Trek like theme, but forgot to run this by Paramount before announcing the name. Paramount wouldn’t give them permission and the name was already public so IBM had to settle with using “warp” as in “bent or twisted” rather than “extremely fast” like I’m sure they would have preferred.

I feel regret too, there are many experiences that, when I remember them, make my heart sink and make me think "I really fucking wish I didn't do it that way".

However, the perspective I've explained keeps me from dwelling on it for too long. What's done is done, I did the only thing I could do with the information that was available. There is no point in punishing myself (unless it's to remind myself of the lesson). That's what I meant by not "believing" in regret.

That perspective often helps me get out of the self-pitying mood.
