Yeah... I do the same thing. 2FA secrets in my password vault.

I KNOW it defeats the purpose. But honestly, where the heck else am I supposed to put them? I know from experience that printouts gets lost, and also that if someone were determined to hack me, the easiest route would be to break into my home and find the printouts.

So I guess I'm technically supposed to subscribe to a second password manager and store just my 2FA secrets inside of that, with a different master password. Or, put the 2FA secrets inside their own encrypted file stored in my password manager, but once again with their own password that... I can't keep in my password manager. But the biggest problem with both of these is I'm going to forget the password. I never forget my password manager master password because I use it weekly. But asking me to remember a password I last used 3 years ago because that's when I set up 2FA? It's not gonna happen.

It all feels so absurd that the UX side of me just rebels. Expecting users to store 2FA secrets in a different place from their passwords that is also just as secure... is just not something normal people are ever going to do.
Well what happens when they hear of it? It's not like crypto, people outside tech can't get rich off it.
Something similar but different happened to me. I know someone who works at Google in a distant dept. The best he could do was try to follow the internal escalation policy, which was broken, so he filed an internal bug about the process. I solved my issue a different way on the end.

I bet employees feel as disempowered about this stuff as civilians…

Also, you don't see the first draft, you see the final edit.

For me, this means that it's OK to try stuff. For a long time I got mad at myself for taking half a day to change two lines of code. Of course to get to those two lines of code, I had to learn a lot and I had to try 10 different approaches.

The units of work for software development are learning and trying things, not lines of code.
This is not actually the case, at least not with the most recent versions of the browser
On the contrary I think your perspective represents a clear problem: you seem to think the spread of DEI and woke bs in certain segments of society can somehow be equated with a literal attempt to turn over the results of an election, a storming of the fucking capitol like we're some 3rd world country, QAnon, attempts--some successful, others less so--to make cruelty a major point of immigration policy, etc. Not to mention issues such as climate change.

There is no sense of morality in what you're saying. I have traditional values and would vote for a center right party over Dems, if we had one. But what we have are two parties very unequal in terms of morality and intellectual credentials.
Downloaded the code and I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. What language is this, and how would someone build/load it?

My fear (disclaimer: I'm a bit ignorant on the topic) is that system breaches will become more common, maybe with the help of AI. Maybe AI will help with social engineering. Maybe it will help with malware proliferation. Regardless, when I hear of groups like LastPass getting breached I'm suddenly much less keen on 1FA.

Besides, some services no longer offer 1FA at all. Google seems to require 2FA of some sort no matter what (although maybe that's just my settings?). So it becomes more important to at least weed out the "bad" 2FA like SMS or security questions. I've heard warnings about Google Authenticator before, something about the inability to make backups or something?
Problem sets are useful for improving your mathematical ability, as is looking at an expert's attempt at a problem after your attempt. Both are a core part of reading books well. So when someone asks for books to improve their mathematical ability, a likely interpretation is just "they want books with good problem sets, clear presentation and elegance". Another interpretation is "what's a book which, when after I intrepret all the individual sentences into a vague impression, will make me good at maths?"

Your answer is somewhat helpful in the latter sort of world where OP didn't know how to read a textbook (which is unfortunately common) but not in the former sort. You seem to be venting though, which is understandable. But venting with a side of helpful content would be even better.

For instance, advising OP on how to to read a maths book (generate content yourself, check dependancies, connect things to what you know etc.) or suggest books which contain advise like this alongside their main content (I think Tao's analysis texts might do this?)
It's only cheaper because externalities are ignored. If we had proper legislation that took environmental externalities into account, it might not be cheaper anymore.
Yes, but be careful which totp app you're using to store seed values/secret keys : some store them as plain text! Personally on android I'm using keepass2android and keepassium on ios to store both the QR image and the string value. It will also generate the OTP value at login. As you know, the keepass password file can be backed-up anywhere.

They where profitable and paid net taxes in 2016 and where hugely profitable yet paid zero taxes in 2017, 2018, and 2019. So I don’t see how this could be loss carry forward offsetting a several billion dollar annual tax bill for 4+ years.
If I remember correctly, and this is going Waaaay back to the show "Discovery 2000" (when naming things 2000 was futuristic):

There was a show/discussion about police cars being armed with ultraviolet lasers and electric probes on the beampath, in order to short-circuit a car's electric system. That's because, according to the TV show, a UV laser creates an ionized channel that is relatively easy for electricity to travel.

There's obvious questions here... Like what's the breakdown voltage of this UV channel? How much voltage is applied? What's its feasibility of being mounted on a vehicle?

But given this recent article, it seems that yes, it is more than just a negligible effect, given it can steer lightning.
Perl is not bad because it is feature complete. Perl might even be good, except that it is dead.

> if your argument boils down to "Awk and Bash are ugly and outdated"

Not at all. However, Awk was written almost 50 years ago. The awk book is good and it is very true that the thing is installed most everywhere so if you're already invested in it and it does everything you want, keep using it of course. But it just might be possible to improve on a tool after half a century.

I simply shared new tools, that if you like awk, might really be up your ally. They might not be packaged with your favorite package manger anytime soon but you can grab them with cargo - if that's not portable enough so be it. No harm no foul.

Keep in mind that this can make signing into some devices tricky. On devices which do not support webauthn (nintendo switch) it will prompt you to acknowledge the code sent to another device which does support webauthn.

> Initially, they could only be slave driven because mass wage employment were not invented yet.

??? "Mass wage employment" goes back to at least the building of Egyptian pyramids, 4000 years before the 17th century sugar plantations you're talking about. Plantation owners didn't pay their workers because they didn't think black people were humans and enslaving them was cheaper than the alternatives, not because they couldn't figure out how to pay them.

I'm sorry if I've misunderstood you but I've reread your comment many times and I cannot figure out what you're trying to say. When do you think paid employment was invented? How were ancient armies fielded? How did any pre-modern society build large buildings or roads?
If you login on your phone, it’s possible your phone will automatically become a “second factor” if on Android, or if you have Google apps installed on iOS. This would resolve the problem, but I can’t promise it’ll work.

> Texas Border Plan

This thing?

https://arrington.house.gov/uploadedfiles/1.pdf

This is an “objectively good thing” the way the War on Drugs was an “objectively good thing”. I think most people can agree that drug use and illegal border crossing ought to be reduced. But this plan is all about enforcement and ignores the demand side.

Where’s the portion of the policy making it possible for would-be employers of migrant labor to economically and legally match up with those who want to provide that labor? Where’s the portion recognizing that migrants and their children are human beings and deserve to be treated with a degree of dignity even if the US doesn’t want them right now?

Yeah there are other ways to tell if someone has aldosterone driven hypertension through blood work and urine tests. These other tests are to determine if surgery could fix the problem (tumor or unilateral vs bilateral abnormal aldosterone production).

Not related to a security clearance, but a coworker at a summer job in high school was applying to be a police officer. He was told to answer "yes" when they asked if he had ever smoked pot, because anyone answering "no" was presumed to be dishonest.

> The problem is, those looking for meat substitute think it isn't close enough, those who want cheaper meat think it's too expensive, vegans/vegetarians have actually vegetable based options and aren't necessarily looking for fake meat at all

I think of this stuff as none of these things. It's nicotine gum.

Nicotine gum won't ever replace cigarettes, nor will people who don't smoke start chewing it.

This is a product for people trying to transition away from a meat-heavy diet. It's never going to be 100% the same, but it's close enough to reduce the cravings. Eventually they'll graduate to healthier, cheaper, and (arguably) better tasting vegetarian products that don't resemble meat at all.

The motivations for cutting back on meat don't matter. Just like there's a market for nicotine gum, there's a market for this.
Completely agree! Especially in consumer. I have two situations that are still unresolved.

1. Getting un-banished from Google ads after a failed credit card charge. No one will tell you why, appeal form doesn't tell you why and eventually I figured out a there had been a failed credit card charge 2 years ago.

2. Recovering a Facebook account with an email-password reset. The profile was frozen after it was hacked and all of a sudden a 5 year old phone number is required to unlock the profile after the password reset. --> Help page to submit a petition still tries to send you to login flow.

That's called competition. Banks interoperating with each other means competitors serving different segments of the market can spring up.

Google does not interoperate and effectively has a monopoly on web search, web video (YouTube) and is one of the two evils owning the mobile market (the other being Apple). There is no way for a competitor to emerge because it just wouldn't be able to interoperate with any of these services.

Per man hour? Amazon is rich and super high volume relatively speaking. I got the impression their warehouses were pretty damn good compared to other warehouses handling consumer goods because the cost of hiccups is so high and they have a huge target on their back.

1Password stores QR codes and syncs them across any device that has access to your vault. I highly recommend this solution if you're worried about losing access to your 2FA codes. It is also easy to back up.
Any of these large companies are like governments. Assume you complain to a Chinese or US or European that your govt does this bad/crazy/illogical thing.

how do they respond?

Do you think if you tell an engineer from John Deere that they have unethical practices the are going to complain in the next meeting? Or a Volkswagen person that does care about pollution but will be quiet.

They just look at pay checks.

Any complaints. they just shrug or chuckle ...

The teams are big and finally they cant get involved. IIRC, even spouses of Googlers cant get special access.

At the same time if they did manage to reset account/password/etc that would be the best way to circumvent security.
If meat is causing people to burn down the amazon, then don't eat meat produced from the Amazon. There is a reason why for example here in Sweden the price of imported beef from Brazil tend to be about half the price of locally produced beef. Local producers has to follow regulations and laws that Brazil producers do not.

I will generally advise that people avoid buying any products from countries who has a history of burning rain forests to produce (or we can call it subsidize) cheap exports. Similar for cheap products created from child labors, military conflicts, sweatshops, or forced labor camps.
That looks very juicy but 99$ is way over my budget
I'm not the one who made the budget assertion; you're mad at someone else.

I'm just contesting the idea that the President has no power over the US Federal budget.

(I'm of the general opinion that the FAA is fairly well funded, has been very effective at its mission, and could still do with some specific capital projects to modernize non-sexy stuff like NOTAM and METAR handling.)
I should have noted that their intent is to cover your past and present, so that if in future they find out that in your youth you trafficed/postituted humans and farmed drugs to fund over throwing a goverment through terrorist activities.... even if all of those were outside the US jursidiction, they can still yank your Visa for having lied.

On longer articles, you do eventually get to a point where overly-long line widths mean more content fits onscreen at once, but at the cost of readability.

Long line lengths are objectively bad for readability[0] and information retention[1], even among people who claim to prefer them. That said, I believe long line lengths are faster.

Unless you have metrics for the average retailer, that's probably not true. Local corner shops vary widely, but are not the least bit shy about hiring undocumented workers, stealing wages, skimping on safety and avoiding taxes. They just do it at such a small scale, it doesn't make the news.

Except when it isn't playing. It get confusing/frustrating when dealing with low volume, buggy software like the Iphone Podcasts app or Bluetooth. Then you think, oh, maybe it's in a paused state.
Surprised to see Velleman's book so far down. It taught me that proofs are fun and do not in general require clever tricks. As a bonus, it provided plenty of practice with foundational objects such as sets, relations and functions. All this made me much better at doing mathematics and prepared to texts in real analysis, CS, algebra.

The suggestion isn't to bypass, but to surface a missing use case to the relevant folks
At previous job v.2, changed an IoT system that received daily text files from remote devices from dumping millions of them in the top level of the /data partition to using a /data/YYYY/MM/unit_id/ structure.

The claim was that the original files needed to be kept for audits, even after database ingest.

Management didn't care, but I made the change because I wanted to have my terminal not die if I accidentally typed "ls" in the wrong directory.
There are going to be way too many people affected by this within the next few years as warranties expire and it's not worth repairing phones. There is no way they won't come up with a better solution as they see engagement drop across all of their properties.

That said, this is probably a business oppurtunity for reverse engineering and recovering the 2fa code from broken phones. I suspect there is a key stored locally, and tied to the device id. If you could get a setup together for reliably extracting/cloning that info, people locked out of essential services would be willing to pay.
The keys can be used on any number of accounts.
> I imagine a group of Democrats could have helped vote McCarthy in with a much milder set of concessions.

Not enough to offset the support he would lose in his own party for making any concessions to Democrats. The Republican factions are Trump-backed ultra-MAGA extremists and the-Trump-backed-group-is-too-moderate ultra-extremists; neither is open to concessions to the “woke mob” of Democrats.

I've had fairly good results in doing zero shot classifications, or asking it to summarize structured data in a human friendly way (e.g. a weather report).

I've found its knowledge to be flawed if you poke enough into it though that feels more like it doesn't "understand" the facts that are embedded into the words.

However, using it to do the classification natural language, extract certain pieces of information from the query, and then convert the structured data back to natural language it shows itself to be very capable and able to be "better sounding" than rules based summaries of that data.

I've also found it to be quite capable at rewriting poorly written questions (e.g. Stack overflow questions - yea, I know, banned and all) to remove extraneous parts ("I'm a noob", "Thanks in advance"), fix grammar, and change the tone to be more professional... and creating a good summary title.

> Put another way, since 1928 dividends plus inflation accounted for 99.7% of the nominal wealth produced, as of 2008, by investing in stocks.

I feel like I must be missing something. Why are dividends treated differently from price increases?

As I'm saving for retirement, "stock goes up" and "stock pays dividends" are basically the same thing in my mind. I assume a dividend is effectively a price increase that gets automatically liquidated. I could choose not to re-invest them, but I could also choose to sell some of my non-dividend stock.

It is true that, as a future retiree, I need to be looking at grown on a decade-scale, not century scale. That part makes sense. I'm just confused by this separation of dividends.
