If you already have unique, long, random passwords, I'm guessing you're using a password manager? Why not use the password manager for the 2FA as well?

Obviously, if your password manager gets broken into, you're fucked. But if the site only have the issue of exposing passwords, you'll be safe.
From their statement it is not really clear if these changes affect new contracts (most probable) or are retroactively extended to existing contracts (not probable).

FTR: I have 20+ domains at Gandi and never used their mail service (I run my own e-mail Server for all those domains since many years) so this change does not affect me.
What garbage. Claiming survey results from self-selecting anonymous website visitors as "research" isn't even junk science — it's spam.
So, he demonstrated that he has the ability to forego (or, since we're being ultra pedantic in this thread, minimize) external stimulation. That's a neat result. What I would like to know is whether he would modify the experiment and make it a practice. It sounded like there were benefits for him: are they worth the expense?
The vast majority of attacks these days are not via compromised desktop environments. They are from phishing, password reuse + third party password compromises, and weak passwords.

Its these most common attacks that Github is addressing with this change.
The code I upload to github is not part of "the software supply chain". Adding 2fa makes it more likely that I will lose access to my account. There is no way I'm going to participate in this. I'm especially not giving github my phone number or in any way associating my mobile device with their website.
Sounds like a fantastic idea. You could create categories for various industries, contact companies at those industries to have them post their pain points/needs for products. And potentially partner with freelancer sites (and consultancies based in those particular industries).

In the larger context of the article and how the government is spending money meant for the impoverished: Arizona has used welfare money to pay for abstinence-only sex education. Pennsylvania diverted TANF funds to anti-abortion crisis-pregnancy centers.

Simply put, the impoverished just don't have access to resources that others do, including the ability to take off from work and travel somewhere to get an abortion, if needed.

Add to that the poverty to prison pipeline and it's clear that it's really a systemic issue.

I was merely asking why you "discuss your ideas" in the way that you did, because it didn't seem to go over very well. You seem to have a point to make but never did so. You're indeed free to discuss things however you like, but everyone who sees through your "discussion" is also free to react negatively.

I read comments here because I sometimes learn new things or gain new perspectives, and I think that is the point of having a comment section, especially so on this website. I "told you the correct way to discuss your ideas" because I wanted to know what you actually thought, because your comments didn't convey that.

Also, when did I cry about freedom of speech? My only comment in this thread (before this one) was in response to your failed "gotcha" attempt.
If the company provides employees with a key to access the office, are they obliged to provide the employee with a keyring on which to put it? A pocket to keep it in? Or are they able to assume that the employee probably would prefer to keep the key on their own keyring, in their own pocket?

I feel the same about 2FA tokens. As a matter of convenience I install the tokens my employer gives me on my personal phone because it makes it easy for me to keep them available at all times.

If for some reason I was unable or unwilling to do so, though, I might expect to be allowed to expense a yubikey.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, but the definition you yourself quoted plainly states:

Domestic violence comprises more than just battery by someone who happens to be a family member.
> In fact, they discourage users from using SMS for 2FA.

Obviously, but I don't think they did good enough. Why enable SMS 2FA at all? It's horribly insecure.

> Even when requesting a full screen swapchain to avoid having to deal with the compositor, modern OSes will force you to go through that compositor and lie about it being fullscreen.

I’m honestly thankful for this bit of lying. Windows 8 and below had horrible, horrible issues with fullscreen programs, especially games - they’d change your screen resolution and thus move and resize all your other windows, they’d freeze for ten seconds when you tried to alt-tab out, and they’d frequently just crash when you switched back to them. Those problems are essentially nonexistent nowadays, and it’s worth the small performance cost that comes from going through the compositor.
It's intriguing which battles they choose.

>Even last week they were saying nothing would change

If you want to be dishonest but not explicitly lie, there are almost always ways to do it. For example, "I believe access to healthcare is a human right" to a normal person sounds like the person is saying that healthcare is a human right, but "access" can mean anything at all and in reality they are saying nothing.

I would not be surprised at all to find that similar inconspicuous weasel words were used.

> My goal was to do nothing for 24 hours. Like everyone in the modern world, I’m hopelessly addicted to little dopamine bursts provided by algorithmically optimized technology (in my case – Reddit, video games, phone messages, and having music or tv shows in the background), so I wanted to see if I had the willpower to cut off all stimulation for an extended period of time.

This dopamine bro-science is a menace.
Come to think of it, Phish or Grateful Dead live shows have some overlap, but that's more about recordings on different dates by the same artist, while classical adds different artists, or sometimes the same artist on different dates, or sometimes the same orchestra but a different conductor, or...

But yes, that's the closest I can think of, but I think it's a smaller niche even than classical music.
Hmm. Is this good?

It seems like centralizing the idea of a “GitHub account” as a sort thing that needs to be secured and imbues a commit with trustworthiness. But wouldn’t it make more sense to use the already existing functionality to sign commits, with keys you control, if this is a real concern?

Oh, of course. Again, I don't think it was sexism. But something that, under other circumstances, would look very very much like blatant sexism—might not be. Which causes problems for lots of women (I've heard) because they'll hesitate to act on actual sexism, due to all the second-guessing.

This is relevant for the study, because "experienced a thing that, viewed through a certain lens, looks a ton like sexism" is something that I could answer "yes" to (more than once, actually! That was just the one that would have most-looked-like sexism if our positions had been reversed)... but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Without some kind of baseline rate for this stuff, it's hard to tell what's actually going on. Further, as men and women might interpret the exact same events differently, you'd really need an observational study to begin to suss out the reality—a survey's not going to cut it, beyond maybe providing guidance on areas for further research.
> I let it expire for a few days, now they are charging me $100/year!

It sounds like your domain name entered the redemption period. The high fee to restore a domain in the redemption period is mandated by the registry, not the registrar. So Gandi is not price gouging; they are required to collect that fee for restoring the domain.
Agreed. This is about much more than just 2FA. Compliance, conference calls, etc. are also on the table.

If we decide to go with a BYOD or other telephony option, then I'm going to push for standardized 2FA hardware devices.
Ditherpunk is really cool. I found this article about it to be so interesting - https://surma.dev/things/ditherpunk/
You seem to be getting downvoted, but generally I think consumers should be wary of this phrasing ('up to') and it should be called out.

It is often a way for companies (or headlines) to seem to be claiming something without actually committing to anything.
2FA != associating your mobile device.

There are numerous devices you can use for TOTP 2FA, your computer, a hardware device and even your browser via authn.

I don't think you can quantify it in neat charts and numbers. But I suggest that the depraved individuals who consume such materials are already used to being outliers and willing to go to extremes to procure such materials, so in most cases they'll just use whatever dark web crap will serve it. They aren't all as thick as Gary Glitter unfortunately.

Meanwhile 99% of innocent people will be hugely inconvenienced by weakened security, not to mention the amount of suffering caused by data breaches and impersonation, then the loss of jobs and economy for many business wasting resources on downgrading their products for compliance.

Not a great trade IMO.

It is more likely that "only pervs use encryption" is a pretext to appease lazy police or spooks, who just want to hit buttons and get people arrested.

It's clear that you don't interact with average users very often if you think this.

Obviously you can direct the user through to the steps to check/uncheck a textbox, but understanding what that checkbox actually does and why they might want to check/uncheck it is far beyond the technical understanding of most users.

No, this is solely because a) chatbot responses are much more expensive than traditional search as well as b) monetizing them is also an unsolved problem, and together both reasons have to potential to eliminate googles profits in deadly amounts.

Everything else are bullshit excuses from google to mask their dire situation and people tend to actually believe it.

Microsoft can fuck up big time and is still standing strong, since they have an actual core business while search is just some playground for them - and I bet they are willing to set everything on fire when google dies in the process, because they can reboot the next iteration afterwards and have their enterprise sales/cashflows largely unaffected.

SVB does a lot of venture debt. When venture debt is not repaid, SVB ends up owning the company, and can recover its exposure only if there is a buyer for the company or assets.

In early stage land where valuations are the result of a fairly small consensus, it is plausible that SVB would have over-extended.

I think the reverse: that entering a company based on "am I going to enjoy it here?" is a better bet.

If you hate it there, you'll probably leave and never vest your equity. Even if you hang on and suffer through it to get your equity, it'll damage you in ways that money won't help with.

If you hate it, chances are that everyone else does too, which means the good people will leave and the startup is less likely to succeed even if everything else is good.

Most engineers enjoy interesting challenges, and this can be a big factor in choosing a role. If the startup is providing interesting challenges then it's doing interesting/difficult stuff. This is a factor in success - startups that aren't doing interesting/difficult stuff are easier to copy and have less barriers to entry for competitors.

Even if you don't get lucky and win the equity lottery, you had a good job and probably learned some interesting things.

Ask HN: Are a lot of books just useless?
I'm trying to get into reading, but I keep running into an issue where a lot of these books feel like fluff. Like, why are there so many books around 250 pages? Surely, these authors are trying to hit a page count first, and then providing information second. It just feels disingenuous, which kills my vibe while reading the book.

There are some books I've read where it feels like every page is a gold mine of information. Is this whole fluff-to-information predicament a common thing in reading? What tools/metrics are there to help find meaningful books? For example, is it viable to only read books greater than 4.5 stars on Goodreads? Or is meticulously researching for good books just a matter of life in the book-reading hobby?

Maybe every book is valuable, and it's just a skill to read, to extract the meaningful information effectively. But honestly, as with everything in life, it's probably a mix of everything. Researching and reading skills will probably make the hobby more enjoyable. But I mean, since it's a hobby, I have the right to try to avoid books I would consider 'useless'.

I think philosophy is somewhat like math in that there is an attempt to create a logically self consistent system. Except it's not rigorous like math because the logic often have gaps that gets filled with observations (anecdotes), and it tries to explain the observed world.

Philosophy is also not science, since there is no attempt to rigorously test the theories with experiments or data.

So I lump philosophy with art. It's strongly tied with a person's sense of aesthetics as well as the culture around them.

You might enjoy reading at least a summary of existentialism. It is somewhat anti-scientific at its root - but like economics - philosophy exists in a somewhat untestable area. One cannot make a laboratory of the mind or use human beings as it’s lab rats.

Physics and maths tend to poopoo any line of thinking which considers human experience - and there is amazing utility in that! No opinions are important for calculation of a trajectory. However, human experience does exist, and operating rationally on it, despite the lack of ability to experiment, leads one into a world that mathematicians might scoff at, but is still a completely valid field of inquiry.

People will say “philosophy is a soft science! No experiments!” Without understanding that experiments cannot be done in this realm.

I recommend Michael Segrue on YouTube - his lectures are fantastic as an intro to philosophy. Particularly his into to Kierkegaard touches on the birth of existentialism out of the furnace of pure scientific rationality.
