Always, always create a backup. Or three.

I carry a backup with me strapped to my wrist. It is a cheap digital watch with a strap modified to securely hold a microSD card with all my really important, must have data ---encrypted with Bitlocker. This data is as safe as I am.

I leave a copy of this card in a fireproof safe at home. A trusted family member has the combination. A friend has the Bitlocker decrypt key. My will brings these two people together to obtain access to the data in case of my demise.

Twice a month, I swap the two cards and update the one I will carry with only the changed info using a xcopy batch script.

My Android phone also has my 2FA keys using FreeOTP+ with an access code and backup capability.

I keep the backup from FreeOTP+ on the memory cards along with a little Windows CLI utility of my own making that can read this backup and generate 2FA codes as needed.

I'm fairly confident I won't ever be totally locked out of my accounts.

If you are locked out without a backup, your only realistic option is to contact each service provider and follow their instructions.
In the middle of nowhere flyover, B&H has true 2 day delivery for no extra cost. Their prices are competitive with anywhere else as well. It's astounding.

I also like that they close the purchase feature for Shabbat. That feels nice, like a personal touch to an anonymous website.
Is every authoritarian a fascist? If not, that statement makes perfect sense: there's no looming fascist takeover, but authoritarians are claiming there is to influence the population and get more power.
They raised me, of course they are stronger than me. They supported me, so now I have to support them back.

The thing about the dogs was a joke, or not, I don’t know. I was just making it more absurd.
Sorry but no. The root of the issue is: "The perception of widespread welfare fraud has empowered Jacobsen to establish one of the most sophisticated and far-reaching fraud detection systems in the world."

Please note the clear wording: "The perception ...". The far-right/populist in the EU is very good at using such perception to increase surveillance and control.
Well, you are clearly not a man of culture.
I used to do this kind of work in the banking world, we built massive models to predict fraud in retail banking. The key observation - improvement in model performance was directly related to its invasiveness - i.e. the more you know about the client the more accurate and powerful the model became. In the end you end up tying together every piece of knowledge you have all the client or prospective client, across all databases and business channels and LOBs and building massive decision trees. But even at that level the false positive rate is very high - simply because fraud is a rare event as a proportion of the whole pool.

In the end I came to the conclusion that the blind pursuit of model performance and thereby business metrics in this realm was simply incompatible with the idea of privacy. One must be willing to philosophically accept a level of fraud just as a free society accepts a level of dissent or a parent a level of rebellion in her/his children.

> This has nothing to do with interest rates, none of these companies are borrowing to hire.

The interest rate connection is that investors buy the company stock (driving the price up beyond what's reasonable given the underlying business health), because the alternative fix rate instruments offer negative return.

Circa 2010 most games had highly literate walkthroughs on sites like GameFAQs. By 2020 you could find only find walkthroughs in YouTube which occasionally answer a question hard to explain in words (like that level with a jump that doesn’t look like you can make it but you can) but means seeking through 20 hours of video to find the right 15 seconds.
ZipCodeEconomies, SF Fed Daly's podcast (2019)
I've long wanted some kind of miniaturized version of a cafeteria dishwasher where you put dirty dishes in one side and clean dishes come out the other a few seconds later. I want my kitchen to stay clean and it would be so nice for everyone to be able to clean and put away their dish right after the meal.
The insane thing is just how much meta data you can (and have) to give them to list something, and then the search just goes and ignores it all.
Looks like Python. What are its core features that improve it over it's "inspired by" languages?
Yeah I've noticed a serious uptick in the past ~2 years of bots and blatant shilling.

HN is arguably not as popular as reddit, but also not as complex, so smaller efforts to game the system work better.

That's not tracking to you specifically, that's geo location so they're just trying to identify the general area for purposes of showing ads.

With IPv6 chances are your ISP has a single large address block, and then they split out parts of that address space to users in ontario and quebec. Unless the ISP publishes details of where they've allocated those blocks, any external site is just guessing.

With legacy IP chances are they have multiple small fragmented blocks, some of which are routed to ontario and some of which are routed to quebec so they're a bit easier to keep track of unless the ISP decides to move them.

Also when you address changes, the legacy address space is probably quite close to full so your previous address is released and probably taken by another customer fairly quickly. The IPv6 space will be much larger, and so recycling occurs far more slowly.

Either way youtube is just guessing, it only knows that the address space belongs to a canadian isp and it has to use the behaviour of whoever used those addresses last. If the previous user set their browser language to french and searched for french sites, youtube will remember that and is more likely to serve you french ads.
Just so you're aware, it's a common scam to require applicants to use the (paid) software in order to apply for a job.

If that's not what you're doing, then you're screening out people who exercise good judgment.
Kindle is great for books I read front to back, but for jumping around in references experience is bad.

For reading references I prefer HTML in a browser where I can have multiple tabs on multiple sections and where I can do "open this link in background so I can get back to it after finishing this paragraph"

But many reference style books I tend to go for the physical book, where I can jump back and forth quickly. Combined with my brain which has a surprising quality in remembering where in a book something was said ...
Musk tweets

> The reality is that this guy ... did no actual work, claimed as his excuse that he had a disability that prevented him from typing, yet was simultaneously tweeting up a storm.

Then five hours later Halli explains his disability in detail. The sequence of events is key. You can't assume that just because someone shared something later it wasn't confidential before.

Maybe Halli didn't want to share anything, but felt he had to in response to his disability becoming a public talking point.

And even if he didn't, employers don't get to share confidential health info based on the assumption that the employee will probably disclose it anyway.

Close, the giant tech companies may or may not comply but they surely can afford the fines that the various EU Data Protection authorities dream into reality by twisting an ever-changing body of interpretation of ambiguously written rules.

There are multiple attack vectors that 2-factor helps with, and storing your 2-factor alongside your password does still help in some, just not all.

For the more common attacks I expect to encounter, namely a single password being leaked, a password manager is still based on something I "possess" (to an extent) - the decrypted password vault. It's separate from the single password that's likely to have been compromised in the most common scenario.

Of course, if my whole vault is compromised, then yes, storing my 2-factor in there made my life worse than the alternative. I just don't see that as anywhere near as likely a scenario as an individual account being compromised. Having 2-factor enabled in a less secure method is still better than not having 2-factor enabled at all.

How to keep meetings from killing your team's productivity
Arguably, we all have too many meetings, but it seems like the impact of fragmented time has a crushing impact on software teams' productivity. I wrote an article about how tech teams can better manage meeting scheduling to create more time for flow.

Eugh, graphics is the least interesting things about these kind of games! I would take better simulation and pixel grapics rather than fake simulation and "RTX ON".
Yeah sometimes it is just abit too much for me. In my mind it can go all good to all bad.

I can speak about my experience, as someone that's ADHD, and has poor memory.
I combined it with bacopa monnieri.
My working memory feels like it's gotten a ton better. It took a few weeks for me to realize effects. I was no longer constantly forgetting things, able to manage more while coding, and able to participate a whole lot more during work meetings, as I could actually recall things more readily. I would say that this is just placebo, except that my wife also noticed that I was not constantly forgetting everything.
With the concerta shortage hitting my area, I actually stopped taking my stimulants for about 2 months, and while my hyper active tendencies didn't go away, I was able to still perform at work. Having a better working memory made context switching much less expensive. I no longer feel dependent on my meds, and only take them when I know I'll be driving for long periods of time, as they do make me a safer driver.

Side effects
Occasional headaches for the first two weeks, this was fixed by ensuring that I had enough magnesium in my system. Also, if you're taking capsules, start out with half the daily dose for a few weeks. Also, a noticeable decrease in sex drive. I think it comes back after a few weeks though. Maca root also counters this- if you see this as a problem.

Also, I will say that no supplement beats out good sleeping habits, diet, and exercise, so your mileage may vary and that's where I would personally start.
I know several people who were laid off at Google who have PhDs from top programs.
Is there any good resources for learning more about this? I have a lot of legacy AV equipment mixed with modern digital components and networking and despite best efforts, I typically fall into either a rats nest or something that’s too constrained to repair/modify without undoing everything.
Yet another company mindlessly follows industry trends. Yawn.
Depending on the environment zip ties, wire ties, etc. may not be appropriate. For example, high heat and UV exposure can cause zip ties to fail rather quickly.
HN is probably not the best audience for this message. But I obviously disagree.

People don’t become doctors because it’s insanely hard, stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. What we need there is not more money, as doctors also have high salaries already, but a reform in the system to make it more appealing to do the work.

I’m not sure what you mean by “more engineers, more visionaries”. Are workers at big tech companies not engineers? And how does reducing somebody’s salary make them a visionary?

More likely is that somebody makes a lot of money in a big tech company then can afford to quit their job and start their own company. Aka, they can become a “visionary”, like you suggest.
When I was a grad student in Physics I worked at an accelerator lab where we had an old NASA high voltage engineering unit. The control panel was completely laced, every wire had a marker on it every foot or so, every end was perfectly terminated. Being an electronics tech, it was a dream to work on this thing... Wish I had pictures. But as others have noted, it takes a great deal of time to do that right when you are installing.
On that subject, I'm curious what is the "computers" equivalent for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. It would be interesting to know what the hot topic for the next two or three decades actually will be.
Bending 2D material could ‘switch on’ future technologies
This makes me recall... the Butlerian Jihad in Dune. The rise against "thinking machines". It seemed like a silly plot contrivance to avoid AI, and focus the story on humans, which we can associate with.

But now I'm starting to realize the author may have had deeper reasons to introduce this into the story. Because maybe he saw far into the future, and realized that a future with AI has no humans in it, at all.
Of note is that it's only offered in LCOL countries. It doesn't look like Americans can participate in this, so the advertised default of "$500/mo" is really fairly significant in most of the participating countries.

In developer settings you can change the minimum width. Iirc a larger number makes the UI smaller (tablet style). You can try that if the display is fundamentally large enough. And/or screenshot and zoom in in the gallery. Or use apps like scrpy maybe?
Different countries have different employment regulations. Layoffs in the US hit in January, but layoffs in other countries have been slowly rolling out as leadership figures out how to deal with various laws. Nobody in London has been laid off yet, for example. They are still waiting to find out who will be axed.
this clickbait certainly is

I wouldn't go back to that mechanic.
This topic came up in the Sam Harris and Sw Sarvapriyananda podcast recently. Sam mentioned: while the Hindus and Buddhists kept debating, the Muslims won.
>It is highly recommended, and often required by code, to keep low voltage and high voltage (high voltage being 120V AC power lines, which really aren't that "high" of a voltage) separated physically.

It depends, there are types of data cables certified (insulation above 400 V) to be installed in same conduit as mains wires:

It works OK up to a point. There are traps everywhere. Some controls scale reasonably well, others don't. There is very little support for any vector drawing so you need to hand-roll resolution switching for assets (Admittedly, pixel based assets in WPF will require the same). Doing anything measure-based in code (rather than designer) such as placing items, requires remembering to manually multiply e.g. dpiScale * 16 to make a margin that will be 16px at 96DPI and 24px at 144DPI and so on. It eventually drives you insane.
Interest rates don’t really matter to housing prices when supply and demand are at equilibrium. It may shift that equilibrium point but Japan has had the same exact interest rate policy as the US over the same time period but the price of a house in Japan hasn’t increased in nominal terms since 1990.

Everything you point out isn’t driven by interest rates but instead by artificial supply constraints on housing.

Evidence against Epi-Pens degrading when flying: Planes often have onboard Epi-Pens that go through thousands of flights and still work.
When the country I live in started to give money to Ukrainian refugees, an Ukrainian friend of mine requested them as well (although they aren't a refugee), and told me that _all_ of their friend were doing the same (again, all defrauding the state). Which means, here there has been a lot of fraud in relation to this scheme.

When it comes to welfare schemes, I'm very skeptical (like the current top post) that fraud rate can be as low as presented.
Slack is convenient just because we use it for some other purposes.

Also it's not like the earth hasn't had hotter periods of history (since fungi evolution) and doesn't have hot regions in which fungi could have already evolved higher body heat/environmental temperature tolerance. There are likely strong biological constraints and trade-offs for why fungi have stuck to their niches.

Also a human brain with complex higher functions is remarkable different from an ant brain. It's likely that a "brain manipulating fungus" attacking a complex mammalian brain would simply cause organism to malfunction and die or cause intense disorganized mental illness rather than any organized behavioural patterns.
Microsoft’s CEO slams voice assistants like Alexa
> NATO recognized the independence of the separatist regions and then had them invite NATO to assist them militarily. This is precisely what Russia did. NATO literally established the precedent here.

How is that remotely comparable when there were zero the separatists movements in the Kherson and Zaphorizia Oblasts before Russia invaded those regions? Yet Russia declared them independent anyhow, and then annexed four Oblasts, which was Russia's original goal in the first place. Will you condemn Russia for all that? If not, we have nothing left to discuss.

How is anyone going to discover that?

You're going to have a minimum of a /64, noone is going to scan that looking for devices.

Even if they do, your firewall is not going to allow the traffic unless you've explicitly configured it to do so.

The only way someone will discover devices, is by analysing outbound traffic you make. Outbound IPv6 traffic will come from randomised addresses so the addressing information is useless. Other things disclosed by the devices (eg user-agent headers on web browsers and other fingerprintable data) are protocol agnostic.
> The EU needs to clarify their legislation but for now they’ve made the internet objectively worse for everyone.

The legislation is already clear, it should be as easy to opt-in as to opt-out. People/businesses didn't seem to get it, but more and more they are starting to realize it. Also, they don't want to be caught once fines starts being handed out.

"Objectively" should mean objectively, just because it doesn't fit with how you (or your employer) think the internet should work, doesn't mean that's what everyone thinks. I'm quite happy that websites have to disclose what they are doing and ask for permission. They could also not track me and not having to ask for any permission, but not many websites chose to act like that, so nice to get the heads up.
Can anyone recommend a UI clone as close to the regular ChatGPT as possible, but built on the API? The API traffic is sent directly into Azure while the regular UI is sent via CloudFlare. Vastly prefer the former reading my conversations than the latter
I distinctly remember walking around the area where Notre Dame is in Paris and hearing a faint sound I recognised on the breeze. The closer I got the more it gave me chills. The sound of the organ presumably (I'd like to think) being played by Olivier Latry and of course I recognised the sound from his recordings of Messiaen[0]. Not Messiaen that day but those compositions being played by Latry on that organ... that sound.. it just takes me somewhere else.

The employment is a means to funnel money to the valuable aspects of life.
Do you want to save all the coding for the L3s so we can really double down on that tech debt?

If you view your colleagues so disdainfully - why (other than comp) are you still working there?

Thanks! I have a watch with that type of display, not sure why I’d forgotten about it.
My brother works for a non-profit that distributes HIV drugs to the homeless. The biggest issue he has is that people will stop taking meds and disappear. They try to bribe them to come back with gift cards. He's expressed how valuable it would be if we could track these persons, but that it would be politically untenable.

To me, it seems society should have some ability to do this for the sake of public health, however I also understand not wanting to wanting to grant this kind of power to the state, even if we are trading it for welfare.
I tried reddit but my post was removed because - it involves someone underage or it is too personal. There are some not so active subs like rant that accepted my post and I got one reply which said that they are not my responsibily.

Who are these people keep writing these articles and keep pushing it? The truth is most PEOPLE don't know how anything works, whether its computers, scanners and things that they use daily like cars.
I deleted my account circa 2016 as well... Far as I can remember, they force you to suspend your own account for 30 days before being able to apply for a full deletion, but that takes 90 days, if at any point you log back in within the 90 days, the whole process is restarted. And this bullshit was only after you went through a squid game tier UI Olympics just to find the place where to kick off the process.
The idea is great, but it is so simple to build I am just waiting for an open-source self-hostable version to pop up in a few days.
2 is an incredibly stupid system. Means tested welfare incentivizes people to meet the criteria of the welfare system. Welfare should just be a negative tax bracket. People mostly don't cheat on their taxes.
