They have small claims court for claims up to $10K or so depending on state which works great. Problem is if you go over that, then it's real court and $100K (or more) in fees to take something to trial. We need a medium claims court to bridge the gap for claims up to maybe $500K where it's still reasonably cheap to bring a case. Our civil courts are set up to be very good at resolving large complicated disputes between rich people or corporations, but it just doesn't work for regular people.

Okay sure, it’s just that no one uses the term “perpetual motion” except to refer to perpetual motion machines as I described. Even the Wikipedia article on the topic is titled “perpetual motion.” And the entire universe, as far as we know, is not in perpetual motion. i.e. does not violate the laws of thermodynamics.

I don't know the specifics in this situation but I work at a university where vaccines are actively developed (for many things). Unless there's a significant financial push, administration to children lags far behind to ensure that random autoimmune complications with vaccine are far below the risks of catching the virus and having a serious reaction.

Also, you can pretty much anticipate pregnant women will be the last two be approved for anything. Pregnancy complications are common enough that no one wants to mess with that whole situation until you're certain you won't have cross antigen reactivity in the host

> Passkeys add in user verification as a capability so that you can use them for the entire authentication process rather than as just one of the factors. This typically means a biometric challenge or knowledge based challenge, such as PIN/passcode entry.

Thanks for this helpful comment, it helped me understand the difference between U2F and passkeys. I'm wondering whether these challenges (biometric / knowledge) are enforced via some open standard, or whether it's ultimately up to the implementation how / whether the signing keys are protected. (I'm also curious whether any currently existing hardware fobs implement enough of the standard to be repurposed as passkeys, or would this necessitate buying a new device - if you're not willing to use your phone for the purpose.)
I'm going off the assumption that you mean storing your password and TOTP secret in the same app.

Personally, I think storing your password and TOTP secret is worthwhile, but it ultimately depends on your threat model.

If your threat model is someone walking up to your unlocked desktop and unlocked password manager, then it's not very effective. That being said, I believe a determined enough attacker will always win -- just be more annoying to pwn than others and you will sift out the majority of attackers, imo.

But, if your threat model is that a website you use suffers a data breach and your username/password hashes are stolen, you have an extra line of defense with that second factor. This pretty much happens or will happen to everyone with online accounts at some point.

So my long-winded answer is that I do still consider it two factor auth, and I do think it's worthwhile -- but all effective security should be layered with extra defenses when possible.

EDIT: fixed some grammar, added some extra context.
lots changed, but mainly the economic environment. Google is still wildly profitable of course.

The relevant question is could those workers generate more than %5 returns on that $70B google is using for stock buybacks. The company leadership and investors seem to think the answer is NO.

Therefore you fire the workers, Give cash to investors, and the investors park it with the fed getting >5% interest, with zero risk, and no need to worry about workers, products, or customers.

This is the entire point of the FED rate raises. Hoover up all of the money floating around being invested in company growth and new product development.

Once you get enough layoffs and paycuts, eventually inflation will go down because people cant buy shit.

Thats the "long answer why".

> they make more money if you have to perform more searches.

Their model pushes people who make a large # of searches towards the unlimited plan, where incentives are always aligned. I personally find that fair because I expect to get at least as much value from my search engine as I do from my IDE. $20/month seems reasonable.

Their model also allows them to have lower expenses against the lower tier plans if users of those plans make fewer searches than their quota. That's the incentive you're looking for. As long as users are not reaching their quotas, or are on unlimited plans, the user incentive is aligned with the business' incentives. And shortly after exceeding their quotas, users will probably upgrade their plan.

The perverse incentive only exists within a few "holes" between the plans, and serves to encourage the user to upgrade. I believe that by limiting the window of the perverse incentive, it should discourage goal-seeking to fit customers within that window. The more optimal outcome month-to-month should likely be to improve customer experience and get more signups, rather than juicing the current customers for limited additional gains inside those constrained windows.

Indeed, you're totally right about that. That's the trick with Mojo, our goal is not to make dynamic python magically fast. Yes, we are quite a bit faster at dynamic code (because we have compiler instead of an interpreter) but that isn't by relying on a 'sufficiently smart' compiler to remove the dynamism, it is just because "compilers" instead of "interpreters".

The reason Mojo is way way faster than Python is because it give programmers control over static behavior and makes it super easy to adopt incrementally where it makes sense. The key payoff of this is that the compilation process is quite simple, there are no JITs required, you get predictable and controllable performance, and you still get dynamism where you ask for it.

Mojo doesn't aim to magically make Python code faster with no work (though it does accidentally do that a little bit), Mojo gives you control so you can care about performance where you want to. 80/20 rule and all that.

Mojo also has a more advanced ownership system than Rust or Swift, which is also pretty cool if you're into such things. Check out the programmer's manual here for more info:

Sure, but the article isn't about audio apps or drawing with a graphics tablet; it's about typing delay in terminal emulators.

I have to agree with the OP here. I've used urxvt almost every day for years (I remember using it on a laptop with 32 MB of memory), and have never once had a problem with typing latency. I didn't even realize it was a thing people bothered to measure until I saw this article.

Going through a family court case now and your take is spot on.

> reasonable support for pro se representation in court

I've sat and watched about 100 cases. I've noticed if both parties are pro se, judges are usually reasonable.

If one party is pro se and the other is not, well I've never seen the pro se party get even a fair chance.

I worked a bit with AngularJS. My, definitely over-exaggerated, feelings are that it was a hideous abomination. It's been long enough that I can only remember how awful it was to have to register everything with the right strings. A lot of negative sentiment towards modern Angular is probably a holdover from that.

Modern Angular on the other hand just seem full of pointless boilerplate. From a personal perspective, the way it's typically structured just feels verbose and clunky compared to React.
Yes: to a first approximation, a second factor is something you are (or have), while a first factor is something you know. A second factor doesn't need to be unique, although uniqueness has separate benefits (especially when the unique factor is hard to clone or access physically).

TOTP isn't an ideal second factor, for most of the reasons above (combined with poor adherence to the standard, meaning that only the most basic subset of features tend to work). But is is still a second factor, unless you can do HMACs in your head :-)

Can anyone with good robotics experience explain why these types of robots are not in wider commercial use?

We have seen interesting robots like this one, from Boston Dynamics and others but they still seem to be far from displacing humans in the workforce. It seems that these robots have similar fine motor skills to humans, enough to displace humans in more economic activities.

If visual detection and response is the problem, teleoperation is always an option: hire people from low-labor cost countries to operate them remotely.

So I am assuming that some kind of manufacturing costs are the reason that these robots are not taking over more human labor in advanced economies. Is that correct?
So is this more like Matlab or more like Python, in the legal and organizational ways? I don't know the right words for it so I'm not going to say "free" or "open source" but maybe you know what I mean.
To be perfectly honest, if you're planning on making a few hundred thousand dollars a year, you probably should be happy to spend a few thousand on a lawyer to help you with it, no matter how simple or where you are.

The math just works out a lot better to spend the money upfront to prevent "gotcha" moments than to lose tons of money on the backend either to a loophole or over having to sue.

This is a textbook case where an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure. If you are signing or writing a contract worth 6 figures, get a lawyer/solicitor involved early. It's worth it.

I think yes.

While PCI DSS 4.0 says nothing specific about TOTP, it on page 171 also has this phrase about certificates:

"A digital certificate is a valid option for “something you have” if it is unique for a particular user".

So it is not an unreasonable analogy to claim that the TOTP seed stored in a desktop application is also "something that you have", as not having it prevents you e.g. from logging in from your friend's laptop.

I’m not sure I understand the difference or technicality. Could someone help explain?
One of the things I love about console releases is about 10-15 years or so after their release is the magical period where the really strange glitches and exploits are found. That's where the fun truly begins, and basically all of it happens on accurate emulators. :D

For example, Mario Kart Wii (one of my all time favorite games, I used to time trial it for fun! Very zen but no rubber bumpers on the GameCube controller thumbpads and one of them had a piece snapped off the edge, so very bruised and hurting thumbs and such the next day) has seen loads of incredible TAS' in the last year or so, with the introduction of superhopping and a few other techniques bringing vehicles other than the flamerunner back into the limelight.

Then there's also this incredible demonstration of beating the Legend of Zelda demo in Super Smash Brothers Brawl before the 5 minute timer runs out, using game state manipulation and pointer creation from positions/objects/etc, a technique I first saw popularized in Super Mario World a few years back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusgAEW4soo

It's incredible both the debug tools people create and lengths of research that people will go to to be able to accomplish what many consider a 'silly' goal, one that often is oddly enough extremely grounded in an active community. Speedrunning is a beautiful thing and it's one of the foundations for how and why I work with neural networks in the way that I do today.

In case you haven't seen this particularly excruciatingly cool demo before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB6eY73sLV0
True, but impractical. You're essentially saying every employee should have a lawyer look over their employment contract every time they get a new job?

I think static compilation like C++ or rust is important to overcome the two language problem. That will be the biggest advantage over Julia. Unclear if Mojo can do this or if it is planned.

For me, the most frustrating part of our legal system is the bastardization of jury trials.

The entire point of a jury trial is to let a group of peers decide whether they were willing to punish a citizen for the crime they were committed of. Laws come down to moral opinion, and jury trials are a way for the public to answer the question of what the general moral opinion of the time is. The jury decides (a) was a law broken, (b) dotthey agree with the law, and (c) are they willing to punish someone for it. This creates case law and ultimately should impact laws on the books - if people continue to acquit convictions because the crime isn't worth punishing, eventually the law should be changed.

Instead lawyers and judges have done an extremely effective job flipping the tables and telling juries their only job is to read a list of laws the court deemed relevant, hear evidence the court deemed important, and decide if the logic between fact and law holds true. Juries are pushed to consider only the statutes in question as written and aren't expected or asked to consider for themselves if the crime is something they even think matters.
That's the theory. At "full bandwidth", with frequent polling, in theory, it should be possible to have excellent latency.

The US is much more similar to Russia and China than most Americans realize.
Most of what you’re calling syntax isn’t syntax, it’s just extra code that allows you to be specific/concrete about how certain types and code should operate.

When it comes to types, once you’ve written the optimized type definition, you don’t have to think about it as much when actually using it. It doesn’t add extra clutter either.

As far as the other things, there isn’t really much extra to type other than being specific about what kind of optimization you want the code to use… vectorization, unrolling, etc.

Also I think it’s worth pointing out that AIs will be writing more and more code for us in the future. So assuming we’re writing much code at all in the future, it will probably be in as simple of a form as possible (like python) and then we can ask the AI to write whatever performance annotations it thinks will be effective.

The world is so fucked.
It's also worth noting that the "physical attacker" scenario is outside of most people's threat models, even if they think that it isn't: most people leave their physical second factors plugged into their devices or on their desks, and interposing between a user's computer and their keyboard doesn't require any technical ability (only the ability to plug and unplug a USB).

The risk with same-device (or same-manager TOTP) isn't necessarily in a physical adversary (who's going to win anyways), but in a digital adversary who can run code (or read files) on one device but not several. That's one of the main reasons users are encouraged to use physical factors or, lacking that, an on-device factor that requires some kind of OS-mediated privileged interaction.
