"Markets will force their hand if they have to (see England)."

That didn't happen in England (The UK actually - England is California in the United Kingdom).

Markets are servants not master. And you cannot 'balance budgets' if you allow savings in the denomination. The accounting won't allow it. For somebody to save somebody else has to borrow. That's why you end up 'in credit' at the bank. The bank is borrowing from you. Presumably you don't want your bank to balance its budget and confiscate your 'in credit' balances.
I once read an article in Popular Science in the early 80's about the invention of quantum transistors at Texas Instruments.

Are those what you mention?
That's a pretty egregious error from a company as large as Auth0/Okta.
Professionalism and quality of bureaucracy vary by country.

In mine, my provider invalidated my SIM twice during their technology upgrades (2G->3G, 3G->4G) without any notice, warning, or hint. Was it an upgrade? Was I phished? It's all left to the user to infer what happened. And if it turns out to be a crime, our rules expect us to interact with an even more apathetic and corrupt police department.

What may look like hyperbole in one country is daily ground reality in another. I'd much rather prefer something under my own control, like TOTP, over anything SIM-based.
I don't think this interpretation of NNs is correct. There's been a few papers purporting to show this, but afair they used a very tortured definition of "interpolation".

Stable Diffusion is certainly capable of differentiating good from bad. That's why you can tell it to draw good or draw bad.

Not that this point is relevant to my comment. "Play", "taste" and "judgment" can be just as deterministic as a sequence of large matrix operations interspersed with nonlinear layers.
Non-SMS 2FA, such as TOTP, FIDO - using an app like Authy or Google Authenticator or a device like Yubikey or Nitrokey or something on-device like Passkey or Apple's stuff.
Sure, by all means, I am happy about companies offering SMS 2FA as an option (as long as they don't block VoIP, that is).

What is annoying is making it the only option, or almost as bad, a mandatory recovery option bypassing all other factors.
Pretty sure you could sue them using other means, such as through contract law, if they signed an appropriate contract. You really don't need copyright if you aren't broadly distributing information.
I think this is something a lot of people overlook too quickly, too. It's pretty easy to get some of the benefits of FP without using Haskell/Scheme/ML/whatever in a lot of languages:

- Write pure functions

- Postpone side effects until necessary (as in, set up the side effect in a way that the side effects inputs are testable)

- Return things when possible, in order to increase the expressiveness of your code

It's also important to not fight the language you're working in. If you're constantly breaking idioms and your teammates can't read your code, FP isn't providing any benefit.
The tech for instant tranfers is already there, they just charge ridiculous amounts for it.

Eg. my bank charges 7€ for an instant transfer, slow transfers are free. This proposal would make all transfers free and instant.
You mentioned GP, which implies you're in UK or Australia etc. There are likely lots of protections for employees, you can ask for stress leave - talk to the doctor about it. My friend was 6 months off full pay.

The other advice is make sure its not just you putting yourself under pressure. I think many of us were at school/uni always expected to dedicate your life to your education. When working its difficult to stop and try to get some balance, you have to learn this. Your boss likely doesn't expect you to do as much as you think.
Agreed. Gwynne Shotwell's hand in SpaceX's success cannot be overstated. Seems like Musk made a very good bet on her, and their partnership keeps working rather great, even after over a decade of that. If SpaceX keeps going on its current track, my prediction is that Shotwell is only going to keep receiving more and more public recognition for her hard achievements. Which makes me happy, as she clearly deserves it.

In my eyes, just like with engineering managers and devs, the strength of an impactful CEO is in collaborating with and enabling their direct reports to deliver great results. It takes two to tango.
Vote with your feet! I switched my primary bank and my brokerage to ones with hardware mfa support.
I feel for the OP. I would just like to plug a good porting experience I had with Twilio recently. I ported a phone number from Vonage to Twilio. They did an excellent job keeping me up to date.

I totally expected something to screw up, especially on the Vonage side.
All competition is wasted effort. Perfect collaboration always wins. But competition is what motivates humans, and unfortunately this inefficient way of working is what drives humanity forward.

China would not even bother with half the stuff they accomplished for space if it were not the existence of a competitive goal. The irony is what the US tried to do to contain them in actuality enabled them.
Yeah, it was an excited coworker, we got flagged again.

I tried to die on this hill once...

An "Architect" was pushing SMS 2FA for our application, and only SMS 2FA. Like you I pointed out all the issues. The response I got was "well if it's good enough for $BIGCORP it is good enough for us" and I didn't win. Cargo culting at it's finest.
Who would have guessed that having a highly complex black box means you can't explain what's going on inside that black box...

My pet theory is that this is the reason why Siri, Alexa and co. still are shit and haven't moved an inch forward since their inception.

I like to play "sleep music" through Alexa when I bring my kid to bed. For his mid day nap it all works perfectly. But in the evening when I say the same phrase that worked a few hours before the thing first plays "dance charts" and when I repeat myself it plays "german rap" - if I repeat myself again I'm back to "dance charts". This happens only in the evening. Next day for daytime nap it all works as expected.

Siri has the quirk that it won't turn off lights in the evening. During day it's all fine. In the evening "Siri turn off lights in the living room" ... nope. It fails. Every time. So I have to manually open the Home app and turn off the lights. (Turning on the lights via Siri works- turning off not).

Have fun debugging these, Apple and Amazon.

I've always thought that was the right way to handle it -- allow people to self-express, however abhorrent they may be. For the worst offenders, dedicate resources to make sure no harm is done (for example, monitor these watering-wells for any activity indicative of planning a terrorist attack, etc).
Arguably the single most determining factor in using a language is the size of the ecosystem relative to the use case. If I'm writing a data science app I'll probably use Python because I can access a large number of well-tested libraries in the space, not because Python is a superior language itself. Same argument for Java (come on, who actually enjoys Java?) Whether it's OO or FP isn't going to be a major consideration. I enjoy Ruby over any other language, but don't use it much at work because ... ecosystem.
> 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.

Start a coordinated shitstorm against these banks because of this. Banks (as many companies) are often very concerned about their reputation.

The vast majority of our defense spending is Salaries for US Service Men and Women. And they are under paid in many cases. Just bumping the salary of the bottom ranks would likely shift the spending ratio.

I gave my three week notice and went on a two week trip to Portugal. In fact I’m writing this at the Lisbon airport on my way back home.

Having been at the same job for eighteen years I felt it was time. I don’t know if it was a burn out but maybe it was. Almost everybody at work was surprised.l though. Boss suggested I take leave of absence. I said no because I know I’m not coming back. For me, things at work changed so much in the past two years that it was not the job I signed for or career progression I wanted. Also so many of my coworkers I cared for had left for other jobs.

My dilemma now is I don’t know what I want to do next. A few folks reached out offering me a job. But it would be similar to what I’d been doing but at different yet similar sized companies.

So while taking time off was great i still have homework to do.

You are assuming that there is an explicit decision made wrt trade-offs.

A simpler explanation is - a "blood" diamond has a fairly explicit consequence, manufacturing consequences aren't so obvious or necessary.

I'd also note that it should be possible to police these things - diamonds without blood, tech without pollution - consumer boycotts aren't often so successful vs legal policy changes.
Right, but the underlying engine doesn’t matter much practically speaking. I don’t think I’ve ever run into a situation where the browser on iOS limited me from doing things I would want to do on mobile.

I use FireFox on iOS because it syncs with FireFox on my laptop.
I’ve done this with waze as well as Apple Maps since construction or accidents can cause undesirable but necessary rerouting

have you used a screen reader?

If so have you ever used the more advanced navigational methods, here I'll just limit myself to the web-rotor on Voiceover because it is the easiest to think about and to remember how it works - at least for me.

>The authors point was that you should rely first on the information you can communicate in the actual content, ie, a button with the content of 'submit',

I understand the author's point, and the OP discussed that doesn't make any sense because on any 'significant' site you can't rely on that.

So ok, let's take another example. You come into a site as a sighted user

there is a button that says refresh under the User messages heading.

and a button that says refresh under the System messages heading.

As a sighted user you know exactly what the context is of these refresh buttons and you know that in a second.

As a blind user you will probably have to go through the page, at least the first time, and then remember to navigate to System Messages heading next time and go to refresh button after that.

In the sighted user context the nice design is to have all System messages underneath the header followed by the refresh button.

So you need to go through all the system messages to click the refresh button if you are the blind user.

Of course if the refresh button has an aria-label refresh System messages you can go to System messages heading, read the first, hear date has not been updated since last time you read, use web rotor to get refresh system messages button click button (why? Because this is an example of design conditions that affect sighted users and visually disabled users and not of any actual working site)

All of which is a very in depth example of a situation that should be easy to imagine without any detailed explanation of how in a reasonably complex site there can be constructs that will be totally apparent to sighted users and not apparent to people with visual impairments and how just relying on the natural layout of the site would be under-serving screen-reader users.

I admit that a submit button probably won't have this scenario, but there are lots of clickable buttons on most modern sites that are not a submit.

At which point I suppose someone might make the obvious argument that the buttons should have the text Refresh System Messages and Refresh User Messages

but that won't go because

1. buttons with a lot of text on them are harder to understand so now a large portion of the user base needs to be under-served to make things easier for the people who are visually impaired.

2. From a design perspective having Refresh System messages under the System Messages area instead of just Refresh is also grating.

At any rate as said, the above is a completely artificial scenario that should be immediately understandable as an example of the kind of thing to arise on a normal company site by any one who has had to develop for such a site.

And I say this to try to forestall the HN - "but you should not have a refresh button because the data should be pulled periodically" or "why would you come to the site, read a message and then know you should refresh huh?"
Carmack should read the Hyperloop paper and see if he still feels that way.

> There are many types of applications where functional languages are perfect, but there are more that it would be a disaster.

Can you give an example or two of an application in a functional language would be a disaster?

> To make broad sweeping claims, such as this article, just encourages unnecessary discourse, and shows the ignorance of the author, and his limited understanding

No, it's an opposing viewpoint to the popular "right tool for the job" and "take the best from functional, best from imperative, and smash them together".

See "The curse of the excluded middle by Erik Meijer".

> As an employer, I don't hire people for their functional programming skills.

I certainly choose my jobs with language and ecosystem in mind.
As a phone, all cell phones are terrible. In the wired-phone era companies used to advertise on call quality. Nobody does that any more because the quality of cell phone calls is so abysmal that text with (or without frankly) emojis is an order of magnitude better for communication.

If they made pads the size of my phone that could still use cell network internet and that I could put a custom OS on I'd consider it.

When the UK electrified 50 years ago, how was the electricity generated? I'm thinking, mostly from coal (67% in 1991).

Currently, electricity generation in the UK is 43% renewable (I'm including hydro and "bio-energy"), 16% nuclear, and 40% fossil fuels.[0]

A sane person would grow frantic at the idea of their life draining away as they wake up every morning to do something that they don't care about, is of no benefit to anyone, and perhaps it would be better if it wasn't being done at all, and is performed solely to fulfil one's basic survival needs. At least when you aren't at the meeting, you don't need to pretend that this is a reasonable, decent, or sane state of affairs.

Sorry, wrong group, that's the one down by the docks later tonight :)

Yeah, can probably just find a different company, or line of work.

Companies are weighing security vs convenience for the users vs support costs. They do know they could be more secure but the goal is not max security but rather some kind of balance between the three mentioned above. And sometimes it is in fact just sheer incompetence.

Trouble is, most people do not know what to do with a physical second factor. They don't know you need more than one and that you need to keep one offsite. They don't understand the way to make second factor work well is to deny ability to recover your access without it with all the nasty consequences of it.

For a company that provides service to the customers, this is nightmare. Unhappy customers, high support costs of trying to somehow securely give the access back to people who lost their tokens.

I think much easier solution is to go to your mobile carrier and get arrangement where they require you to go through special hoops to get the sim card if you loose it or to port the number (which is what I did).

Also if you really care about security, put that number on a separate phone where you absolutely don't install any extra software. And do not use this phone for normal communication, do not put it in any contacts, try to avoid associating it with your name. This phone becomes your second factor so you might just as well get something cheap and small.
Can't see why not. Musk is so famous and so many people look up to him that he turns brands into gold. Wouldn't be possible for avg no name CEO.

> Yakuake is a nice dropdown terminal.

This is one of the thing that (surprisingly, to me) I miss on other operating systems. Yakuake manages to be featureful, stay out of my way, and integrate perfectly with the default terminal emulator for my environment all at the same time.

I'd come to take the availability of such a dropdown terminal for granted on Linux, but it turns out that most dropdown terminal solutions are quite clunky, slow, or not well integrated compared to good ol' Yakuake.

If there are any Yakuake or Konsole contributors browsing the thread: thank you for your work!

No, the idea is that you block entire instances where the admins are lax about allowing spam or bot accounts.

If you run an instance and don't do active moderation and just let any putz sign up and post crap, you'll end up getting de-federated and your real users will probably leave (Masto makes it easy to migrate your stuff from one account to another).

This is one of the reasons why having lots of instances is a good thing, and one of the risks of Mastodon's federated structure is having a lot of users sign up to one or two big generic instances.

I'm hoping that more sites that have existing user communities will start offering Mastodon instances for their already-vetted users. The instance I use (SDF.org) is largely but not exclusively for existing SDF members, and this seems to work quite well. I don't know how the mainline Mastodon server's authentication system works, but hopefully it's reasonably straightforward to plug into an already-existing user database for auth purposes.
That sounds like me to a T. When I don't have pressure from people I am so relaxed. But right now my brain is exploding because I have three different groups of people asking me to do things for them, and even though I know most of the answers I feel like a bowling ball is on my head.

Your point is that you can't copy Google's secrets because of copyright, and therefore copyright is valuable to its employees. I'm saying that the reason you can't copy that information is different from copyright.
