Ticketmaster started requiring 2FA, but they only allow phone numbers connected to a SIM card.

For over a decade, I've been using my Google Voice number as my identity, with whatever number is on whatever SIM I happen to have at the time being an implementation detail. Ticketmaster doesn't accept that, so now I have to schlep myself over to the venue (which often includes a bridge toll) to buy tickets at the box office. It's infuriating.

I believe Credit Karma Tax also had this problem, which is moot now that Square owns it (since Square doesn't have this problem).

(26) Baggage equipped with lithium battery(ies) must be carried as carry-on baggage unless the battery(ies) is removed from the baggage. Removed battery(ies) must be carried in accordance with the provision for spare batteries prescribed in paragraph (a)(18) of this section. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to baggage equipped with lithium batteries not exceeding:

(i) For lithium metal batteries, a lithium content of 0.3 grams; or

(ii) For lithium ion batteries, a Watt-hour rating of 2.7 Wh.

It also sounds incredibly dumb when you think about how checked luggage gets scanned and searched. Isn't it typically after you've dropped it off with airline staff and have walked away towards a terminal gate? And when they find an airtag in checked luggage, how can they tell by looking at the airtag itself if "transmission function" has been turned off???

It seems to me they either have to throw away all airtags they find in luggage, or they have to check everyones' phones inside the airplane before they take off, or they're just bluffing.
This is immensely helpful. Thank you for passing it along.

Why don't airlines offer a baggage insurance system? Have a separate check in area for the bag, where the value has to be declared with a staffer verifying said things were in the bag, the bag is sufficiently durable, and charge a large amount for the service. Then maybe ID verification on pickup. $300 a bag would keep this an option just for people moving their cameras and stuff.

Or let Fedex open a check in counter at airports with advice on how to receive packages at nearest fedex office?
Every day I wonder why developers must use heavy-weight IDEs, etc, when they could be using light-weight components like one or more bash terminals, a text-editor, a gcc compiler and a gdb debugger.

My setup is positively spartan. Yes I've tried IDEs, yes I've tried lots of 'WorkShops', but I always come back to a text-only development environment. Yes it's on a desktop, but that only serves to allow me, on average, about 5 xterms at once and a web-browser for the times when I need assistance from the Web.
> I am, yes, if the alternative is that they loose access to their account every few months!

Good to hear, though I confess to a bit of confusion. The issue I pointed to is that they're going to lose access to their accounts frequently as their accounts get breached, abused, and shut off. As opposed to losing access because they lost their phone number.

> Also, at least this way people have the ability to keep their accounts truly safe if they choose a strong, unique password. If Google just locks them out no matter what, there's no recourse.

As described in the Twitter thread, we're talking about people who already struggle to remember their passwords. I doubt this will improve if we require basically regular people to have strong passwords, but perhaps you have reason to think differently.

Basically I think you're trading one cause of lockout without recourse for another cause of lockout without recourse with this proposal. This does not strike me as progress. For my own part, I think Google is the wrong place to be trying to address this issue - perhaps porting phone numbers within the Lifeline phone program would be better.

How is it bothersome? People are doing their job and telling them where the bag is. They should be happy when customers go the extra mile to fix their broken system.
Maybe you're counting differently? If near the end you have a dozen papers that you're sufficiently interested in that you're actively trying to access them already, that sounds pretty decent really.

Did anyone read the actual email thread? RMS is in there saying stuff like

> In principle, it is good to remove it, but there is no principled reason
why we must remove it, if that means breaking a user-level feature
that does work on non-MacOS systems.

Basically it is one person(Po Lu) pushing for removing it, in part "to encourage users to switch to Linux", but it seems like he is getting a lot of push back from other contributors about why this is actually necessary, and that if he wants to remove it, there should be some more generalized equivalent functionality which would let current mac users port their deprecated usages to some other method.

To be honest, I have no clue, maybe they were, maybe they weren't, but also maybe that's not anything they predicted or thought to consider as second order effects in their opinion at the time.

People's personal opinion are not always hours of deep analysis, reflections and evaluation. Often times, simplistic solutions win an opinion, I can very well see something as simplistic as: these drugs are a problem, let's make them all illegal and attach prison sentences to the sale and possession, problem solved! And a lot of people at the time, fearful of those drugs, not knowing much about them, and hearing what they do to people and who generally consumes them, just feeling like that's a great idea and being onboard with the policy.

And now, people have seen those second order effect first hand, they've also learned more about those drugs, their nature, don't fear it as much, and so are now of a different opinion.
I thought this was a catalog of employee onboarding flows. Was extremely confused why such a thing needs to exist, and was even more confused when I clicked into my company to find nothing about our onboarding tool.

Sea level rise is the only one of those that has _thus far_ occurred. The others are projections for the future. In the case of sea level rise, the author would likely claim that human development patterns (e.g. paving everything for parking lots) is a larger contributing factor than the 3.1 cm per decade of sea level rise.
You don't need to fan out writes to feeds. Users subscribe to other users, not tweets. You can attempt to send out the notification to subscribed users, and if it fails, that's fine. You don't need to record notification status. Have a worker that records (in the db) the last tweet id it's processed, and just regularly joins N new tweets to authors to subscribers and attempts to send. You can play with how that query works to limit total work done in a chunk rather than N new tweets (in case of someone with many subscribers), but the idea is straightforward.

You can easily batch writes into neat transactions: make a queue, have your POST handler write (row, callback) onto the queue and await the callback. Have the queue reader grab a chunk, push it to the db in batch, and execute all of the callbacks on commit. The callbacks return a 200 to the client, or 500 if the commit failed. This can all happen fast enough to be done in "real time" (however fast you want your queue worker to flush batches).

You can do all of this in a couple dozen lines of code with something like Scala/ZIO.

Computationally, it is totally doable. The biggest constraint is the cost of storage.

This Rosh Hashanah I switched to the Jewish calendar full-time. I know this may sound impractical (it is) but it has always felt like an important issue to me as a mostly secular Jewish American. In my opinion the Gregorian calendar offers very little advantage (perhaps even disadvantage) over lunar-solar alternatives. Its popularity has been deeply tied to Christian imperialism and its adoption has often been forced. The Gregorian calendar is technically more accurate as it is off by 27 sec/year (1 day in 3236 years) compared to the Jewish calendar which is off by 7 min/year (1 day in 216 years). This, however, has always felt to me like comparing apples to oranges. The accuracy of the Gregorian calendar comes at the expense of functionality (lunar calculations) which I find to be incredibly useful. With the Jewish calendar you always know what phase the moon is in as the start of each month is a new moon and the middle is a full moon. Not only does this have real-world application in terms of tides, agricultural conditions, night light, animal behaviors, and etc but I have found myself feeling more mindful of nature as a result. It still trips me out that I can go outside and know exactly what the moon is going to look like without googling it! Furthermore, days ending at sundown makes so much more sense to me! There is a certain satisfaction that comes with watching the sunset and it marking the end of your day compared to the day ending in the middle of the night while you are asleep. Lastly, I have felt myself feeling far more connected to my culture as I am more aware of holidays and other traditions that were lost when the Gregorian calendar took over.

Lessons from recent lost luggage:

1. Fly direct if you can.

2. Insure your luggage.

3. If you must connect flights, stick with one airline, leave a 2-hour gap between flights and fly earlier in the day so you don’t end up in a dodgy hotel.

4. Put important stuff in hand luggage, incl. warm tops and underwear.

5. Use an AirTag.

Recently waited a month for my luggage after a missed Vueling connection due to striking baggage handlers. The airline claimed it was due to a “technical issue.” Wish I had bought an AirTag. You’d be surprised how the cost of small items add up…
It's transparent and unfortunately that's exactly why we know we can't trust it.

If you want an eye opening experience pick something in the news that might be scientific. Say, COVID. Then run a correlation between the release of news articles and the frequency of edits to Wikipedia.

In theory, this provides the most up to date information. In reality, Wikipedia is a disinformation farm. Contributors may think they are updating the "latest" version of "truth" (like a "fact" checker) but in reality they are making knee jerk decisions to sometimes literally change the definition of something.

Still not convinced a paper encyclopedia is better? Still worried a scary private corporation controls Encyclopedias? Steven Pruitt is a legendary "editor" (what an appropriate name) of wikipedia. Holding the record for the most Wikipedia edits of anyone by a large margin, he is a veritable gatekeeper of what Wikipedia defines as truth. Whereas in a corporation you might have this divided among dozens of experts in their field, one man with no known expertise in anything and a dramatically one-sided and well-known political leaning is in control of a LOT of information.

In summary, I refuse to donate to Wikipedia and actively promote other sources of information (such as scholarly articles, meta-analyses, expert blog posts, etc) as better secondary or primary sources of information. Parents, teachers, and schools are absolutely right to be suspect of Wikipedia. Aside from relatively niche, infrequently edited articles, Wikipedia is no better than asking your neighbor what he thinks about a subject. At least you might get a beer out of doing that, though.

Those who used a Commodore-64 and yearned for 80-column displays ended up using 4x7 or 4x8 fonts, in other words this font with more vertical headroom. It worked relatively well, good enough for me to use it to write many a report in a version of SpeedScript [1] I had modified to use 80 column text using just such a font plus the necessary code to actually use it. I could switch between 40- and 80-character mode using a key combination and tended to use 40-character mode while entering text, 80-character mode while formatting the document.

Fair point, but I think your example falls on the other end of the extreme – lacking context. A sufficiently long blog post – or, better yet, a drip campaign from a newsletter over the course of a week or something and narrowly focused on a particular topic – would be able to provide context for why.

Of course, you're putting a bit of money into a book so you might be more willing to follow that advice.

It's been a big issue in the UK for the last few months, as airports struggled to find enough baggage handlers. So luggage was getting left all over, massive buildups, effectively "lost" until they have enough manpower to process it all.
The point here is that that happens to these people already. I'm sure they'd much rather have only a chance of it happening than it being a guarantee.
