>Product Managers who somehow have established this thought in their head that anything beyond SMS would be too hard for our customers to use as stuff like TOTP requires a separate app or push notification or something else that is too out-of-band.

And what makes you think that they are wrong? It wouldn't surprise me if your PMs have actually talked to customers who went "Huh?"
The iPhone does a lot of stuff:
- correcting for lens distortion
- automatically setting white balance
- optimizing color and contrast
- blending multiple exposures when it's dark and has some advanced denoising tricks (which sometimes gives photo's a bit of an 'oil painting' look)
- sharpening to get that 'crisp' look (even if your lens is not that sharp)

Coincidentally, Denny Hamlin was the target of the move both this past weekend and in the linked article above.

I found it the exact opposite - I very nearly never touched it. My problem with it was you need to look at it to interact with it, which meant you weren’t looking at the screen.
It felt like someone designed it and said “but that won’t be a problem, because you can have the bar show you what you need” without considering it’s impossible to see what’s under your finger.
If they’d somehow put it at the same angle as the screen, so you could interact with it and while focusing on the screen, it could’ve been amazing - for me at least.
Ultimately Google+ was Facebook but slightly different. There wasn't really a compelling reason to switch.

But while Facebook has been around we've seen Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter, Vine, WhatsApp, Reddit, Discord, and a handful of other smaller or regional sites rise. There's very little lock in. You've just got to do something other than "Facebook but different".

Why? MFA via SMS is the most user friendly option at this point. Nothing else comes close.

The Apple flow...
- Visit site/app
- Clock "send code to phone"
- Apple populates code field with code when it arrives

No 3rd party app, no extra subscription, no extra hardware. Couldn't be much easier.

Yes, I realize SMS can be attacked in a few ways that app- or hardware-based MFA cannot. But, it's probably better than nothing (I've not seen a good counter to it).

Now, should banks offer SMS + app/hardware options? Absolutely. No question. But please don't take away SMS unless you're offering something just as easy.

In this case, the rules say that if a kickoff is handled first by a player who has established themselves as out of bounds, a penalty is assessed and the ball moved to the 40 yard line. The intent is for a horribly miskicked ball to be penalized.

What you see is a special teams player knowing the rule, carefully and clearly establishing himself as out of bounds, and turning an excellently kicked ball at the one yard line into a ball 39 yards down field.

I’ve seen the commentators confused by this play before!

You can add error checking (e.g., compiler exceptions), but you cannot remove the parts of JS/other languages that cause that error checking to be important in the first place, not without fundamentally breaking the language/existing libraries.

TFA describes a paradigm where those features don't exist, and so the error checking is not important. That's a truly safe language. It's also hypothetical at this point, IMHO.
Server admins block other servers that do not effectively prevent the creation of spam accounts. Could this become a problem if the network grows fast enough to be a profitable target for spammers? Probably. Is it a problem now? Not that I've seen.

For SMS auth, you can get the cell company to re-issue a sim if you lose your phone. This is a feature and a bug, thanks to social engineering attacks. Also, the SMS transport layer isn't secure.

With TOTP, you can put the TOTP code in your password manager with all your other passwords, which is probably what I will do it it catches on. It's effectively one factor at that point. (Do you know my password manager's password?)

Are you suggesting most wealthy immigrants end up founding a litany of companies?

This is a bit like attributing Wayne Gretzky's success to the fact Walter was a seasoned coach and a huge hockey fan. Obviously it helps having parents to enable your talents, but it's ignorant to pretend that rich parents alone will allow you to rise to the top.
One would need compressed reports and supportive suggestions to some of the reported issues. Also, Musk isn't a one man show. He has the people.

Also, he is a very exceptional talent. He wants to know everything about the stuff his companies do in detail. By this, mostly in beginning, he lays a good base of knowledge and thus enables himself to understand the problems more faster.

The other thing is, he's working around the clock. He likes to and just do. That makes him different from us, who thinks money falls from above even when we're off to work free weekend :)

Just like my dad. Worked for 40 years 17/7. Sometimes 3 days in a row without sleeping. "You have to deliver when it's needed." (programming)

I like Musk because of this. And, I think, I would do it better ;)

Thank you for bringing attention to methane emission reduction itself. This gets at how MethaneSAT, and space-based monitoring in general, fits into the larger picture.

To start with the detection side of your question, there's a strong need for more space-based methane monitoring capacity. Key instruments include TROPOMI (wide-angle, moderate-precision), GHGSat (high-precision, point-source), and now EMIT (wide-angle, high-precision), and with these we're still detecting previously-unknown emission sources. Space-based detection needs to mature its capacity to the point where new emissions are rapidly detected, monitored frequently, and result in actionable data that's made available within days of measurement. MethaneSAT will help fill this need, as will the upcoming NASA/JPL Carbon Mapper constellation.

To compare MethaneSAT and EMIT, first I want to highlight that every new instrument complements the others. Our team is thrilled with EMIT's arrival, and I'm impressed by its technical capability. While similar in some regards, MethaneSAT's high-precision instrument will still have a field of view about 3x wider than EMIT's (~200km to 72km, iirc). EMIT's mission is also broader than just methane monitoring.

But it's not all about the measurements themselves. Our scientists and engineers are building a system to fully automate analysis that's historically been somewhat manual and error-prone, and to deliver more than just the standard methane concentration maps. We're on the cutting edge here, as far as I know. It's an exciting place to be.

Now for the part about using data to drive real methane emission reductions.

As monitoring capacity improves, efforts are underway to make it actionable on a global scale. This is now being led by the UNEP's International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), launched last year. We're still in the early days, yet the investments made in the last couple years hold promise.

EDF is uniquely situated to contribute here too. We have a decades-long track record of effective engagement with government and private industry, and a well-staffed/funded advocacy arm whose job it will be to get MethaneSAT's data to decision makers in a position to reduce emissions.

Because you're right, that's what matters most.
So did they not Google the proposed name of their project before picking it, or did they Google it and not care. Either way seems silly.

Show HN: Sense – Webcam-AI makes your mouse cursor appear where you look
Hi HN,

I'm Bastjan from Eyeware. We've built an eye-tracking app for the webcam that makes the mouse jump to where you're looking, also between multiple screens. The idea is to reduce mouse movements, especially repetitive ones (e.g. for coders, designers, ...) like switching from one screen to the other. Try it for free here: sense.eyeware.tech

PC users with repetitive strain injuries, or maybe more generally assistive tech users, might see an even stronger benefit.

We've also inserted privacy features from our collab with AMD (AMD Privacy View) such as presence detection (it locks you out automatically when you leave your PC) or privacy view (blurs areas that you are not looked at).

What features would you like to see next? What would you like to see improved?

FYI: We've released last year an iOS app with gaming and streaming features, which can be ported to Eyeware Sense: beam.eyeware.tech

Privacy note: The app does not generate or store any biometric data. Sense also does not use the camera feed or turn the camera on unless you activate one of the features.
Odd that 'graphic designers' have a 4% risk of automation whereas 'computer programmers' have a 41% risk given that (1) Stable Diffusion, DALL-E and whatever come next are in the house and (2) computer programmers have to make something correct, but many users of art will tolerate a lot of variance in what they get.

For what it's worth I also think the 7% for 'mechanical engineer' seems pretty low given that a lot of what Mech-E's do is looking up things in tables and punching numbers into programmable calculators.
Sure, but something like this also works well:

He isn’t stupid, but he’s either uninformed, or he’s lying because he’s dead wrong about their licensing model. You don’t pay per core. You pay per physical machine (of any size), or per 2 VMs (of any size). If you’re heavily virtualizing, you buy a VDC license at an MSRP of $4k USD, and you run all the VMs you want on a single hypervisor. If you’ve got more than a couple hundred machines, the VDC licensing is probably your best option. Alternatively, use RH’s virtualization solution, and pay only for the OpenShift licenses.

He doesn’t want to pay for the OS at all, he just wants to pay for support. That’s fine, but he’s still factually incorrect in what he’s said.

The disproportionate representation of Asians at highly selective colleges is indicative that merit (judged by demonstrated academic performance) is distributed in a racially uneven way, isn't it? Or do you think there is some kind of discrimination in favor of Asians (and against other groups) at work? In actual fact, discrimination appears to be AGAINST Asians; otherwise their numbers would be even greater.
This is certainly not to imply that there is anything inherently superior about people of Asian descent; I mean that the culture tends to strongly support hard work, education, and personal responsibility, all traits that lead to academic success.

"so move your business to someone who you think takes security seriously."

For banks, it is not that easy and convenient. I like my banks for many reasons except the 2FA thing. Most banks at least in US are still doing SMS 2FA. I am done with the whole "If not happy, move" and want to figure out what we can do to educate/force these banks to do the correct way.
I'm already paying for internet access. (begin of trollish flamebait comment that will get down-voted so hard nobody even knew it existed)

I pay for my internet access. I pay for the hardware and electricity to run my server, which runs my services, that I provide to the internet, free of charge, with no intention of it ever being anything but a cost sink, because I want to take part in this great International network of computers.

I'm literally okay with everything disappearing that does not align with my goals, I'm okay with youtube, netfix, google, twitter, facebook, and everything you can name, which exist to make a profit, going away. I'll still be able to browse other peoples websites, I'll still be able to connect to IRC servers that people run because they WANT to, heck.. I'll probably be able to go back to the days where IP addresses were publicly routable and could be static free of charge.
I can't tell you it's all gonna be okay because I don't know that it will, but I do know that you should go fishing, because for that moment of clarity and relaxation, what does matter to you will become clear.
There’s some truth to this - imperative languages with state make sense because the underlying hardware is a series of imperative instructions and a large amount of state. What does lambda calculus hardware look like?

Yeah there are some UX optimizations that could probably be made...

OTOH, I can't think of many big-name mobile apps that don't have some issues with less-than-obvious long-press functionality. (Snapchat seems to literally do this shit on purpose, because it's "fun" apparently.)

IMO that's a general problem with mobile UX... long-press actions have zero affordance. There's no way to tell short of randomly long-pressing on stuff what's going to have an action associated with it.
Number 1 is actively in the works. I actually thought I had this one done, but I had an offer get reneged last night, which sucks.

One way that you can influence the situation is by addressing the PHB directly, in a language they understand: NIST 800-63B [0].

To reach Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL) 2, there are restrictions placed on PSTN-delivered OOB verification as described in Sec. 5.1.3.3. They explicitly state (in Sec. 5.2.10) that the validity of restricted authentication can change at any time, AND that organizations "SHALL" offer alternative MFA options that are not restricted.

Specifically: "The use of a RESTRICTED authenticator requires that the implementing organization assess, understand, and accept the risks associated with that RESTRICTED authenticator"

So now when you go to the PHB and say, the government says that we are potentially opening ourselves up to legal liability according to such-and-such document subsection whatever, you're much more likely to get allocated resources to implement alternative options. Plus, the government could potentially disallow phone-based 2FA at any time! Imagine how the board will react when they find that we didn't plan for this contingency and suddenly can't comply...

For the most part, agreed. But the arguments for FP are old and like you’re mentioning could be sold easily by the right orator (those teachers/evangelists exist btw in droves on YouTube and elsewhere). I’m only saying that given what academia and collective professional experience has proven around FP, it would be nice if FP or FP patterns were the first option(s) most stressed to budding SWEngineers/Developers and that imperative architecture was the afterthought (not the other way around as probably it is in our current state).

In other words, there would be little need to evangelize for FP if it was the base of understanding.

And while there are a lot that want to improve the field, I’d wager that most 9-5’s are tired, wanna finish a good days work and rest.
How do you sign into your Authy account? For me, it asks to send an SMS to my phone.
This is a symptom of the disease of extreme wealth inequality. If all of the profits are made by just a few people, it makes sense that very few will be involved otherwise.

Functional programming, and it's degenerate cousin, cramming random functional constructs (array comprehension methods, willy-nilly currying, ...) in Javascript has been the worst thing to happen to web programming.

What that has done is made a whole generation of developers completely detached of the impact on heap allocation and GC. If web programs are slow and bloated, it's partly because of using nuggets from functional programming just for the sake of it.
As long as the only viable alternative to SMS 2FA is some kind of Authenticator app on your phone, and as long as most people change or lose their phone FAR more often than they change their phone number, I really don't see how anything other than SMS has any realistic chance of being accepted as 2FA.

In fact, most services that allow you to configure a different 2FA still fall back to SMS if you say you don't have access to your Authenticator app anymore.

And no, yubikeys or other self-acquired hardware tokens are not a viable alternative.

Edit: just for reference, I've been using the same mobile number for ~15 years, back when I had a Nokia 3310. I have probably had 10 different phones in the same period - which would have meant I would have had to go to each service I used 2FA on 10 times in the same period to switch to the new 2FA if I had been using Authentication apps (and if anyone had been offering 2FA ~15 years ago). Note that one of these 10 phones was stolen, so recovering the accounts after that would have been a joy.
I am talking about SMS specific. You could still do TOTP based/Authenticator app (not perfect but much better than SMS) and then have backups on multiple phones or even password managers as needed so that it is not tied to one single phone number.
I reluctantly bought an official Apple case to use with my iPhone 13 mini, due to the giant camera lenses. Guess what? The case itself isn't flat! The lenses are so large that the case itself has guard bumps around the camera opening. This is the world we live in now.
