It's amazing the things people believe with no evidence (and then get massive amounts of upvotes for!).

Look at a map of northern California and you see that the landscape is dominated by a checkerboard pattern of logging/no-logging (the most efficient way to maintain a forest and create firebreaks, even if that wasn't the original intent and people are trying their damndest to break the system).

Yeah that controlled drift thing at speed is completely terrifying and amazingly skillful. Not for me, though. I was always taught to set up before the corner with the bike still vertical "in slow, out fast". I guess that's why on the one hand I could never be a racer but on the other hand I never crashed.
Right, whether it's better than renting financially depends on a lot of factors.

There's benefits to renting too, you have to make the right choice for yourself.
Many homebuyers don't realize that the average home inspection is kinda worthless; it might tell you the age of various components but it will be filled with "we take no responsibility, get a professional to check X" over and over and over again.

If you can find someone who will go through the house with you, and give you good actionable information, it's much more worth it. Ask to see some inspection reports from other homes.
The most likely explanation for this is that your recruiter (either individually, or recruiting in general) was tasked with filling roles for an org in MTV.

From the outside looking in, recruiting presents as a unified front, but in reality at many big corps recruiters will not be handling generic hiring. And they may either not be incentivized, or so new and unable to navigate the chaos, such that they can’t direct you to open roles outside their jurisdiction.
Ads provide the budget to make cool things happen. I would expect that it would further widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots in terms of inequality.
”Native Americans conducted controlled burns for thousands of years"

Not to be snarky, but I think that they were uncontrolled burns... Once they started there was no Native American Fire Department to put them out, they just burned until they wefe done.
This is not a joke, I am really asking: how do you measure the accuracy of an air quality monitor? Comparing it to another monitor? Creating an air pollution condition and seeing how close to that is the measurement?
yep. no mystery there.
Air filters are often for particulate matter but not VOCs.

Or radon. Sometimes trees pump the radon from deeper groundwater and the radon levels rise when trees burn.
I’m on salary and wfh but often work 4 hours/day. Of course some times if it’s “crunch time” I work 12 hours. But on average it’s probably under 6. The whole point of salary is you don’t count hours though so you are encourage to be efficient instead of inefficient

signup (just notes from a battle hardened ecomm engineer):
- drop password, you already do the email confirmation loop, i almost noped out of the funnel when asked for yet another password
- transition anonymous sessions to signed up users cleanly
- drop the timezone question, too long, wtf, why even necessary
- add big signup button to login page, login is more visible than signup so add another signup cta on the login page
- see if you can get sessions to persist indefinitely and not even have to do signup
- see if you can get to email-only signup
- implement social auth so folks don't have to type their email, you are targeting mobile users who have tap (type) fatigue already

actual product:
- i need it to ask me questions, and attempt to determine my skill level on it's own. i found myself asking (in french, which this keyboard has a terrible time recognizing) "what's the deal with pension reform in France", which is just my pathology at work: I'll gladly cook up great questions to get my interlocutors talking, but i need more prompts to get my speech synthesis and auditory processing systems running better (which another poster alluded to as well).

totally tangentially, my wife corrected my French while i was playing with this toy and got a loving chiding. god bless the attentionally and impulse-inhibitorially challenged :eyeroll:
> Was the thorn really a part of old Cyrillic?

No, never was a thing. Early Cyrillic had a bunch of unique letters that are long gone, but it never had "þ" in there.

> The "ѵ" is interesting too

It's from Greek "Y" (upsilon) and it - depending on the place - could've meant either /i/ or /v/ sound (and /u/ when in "оѵ" digraph, so parent comment has it wrong): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa
In a thread about a large employer forcing its employees to switch back to in-office work, you couldn't pick a worse place to make this point.
If you're getting your work done even when you take mid-day sex breaks, why is that the company's business? Employers claim to be able to measure productivity to give raises and fire unproductive employees, but they somehow can't figure out if someone working from home is productive? Do managers need to physically look over an employee's shoulder to figure out if he's productive?
I am with you. The analogy I came up with is "map layers". Usually on a geographical map the features are drawn using contours, colours and accompanying names. Such map is, certainly, not a "territory" but is a good representation and easy to work with. Using (capital DI!) Dependency Injection is like a having a map "lobotomized", split into layers where you can never see them together. You either see contours devoid of names, or names hanging in the void. Bonus point if names don't even follow the contours. For any non-trivial number of classes/concepts my brain explodes.

Another bonus point when DI is used for some deep-context "dependencies". Hey, I need a HttpClient object here, to post something somewhere. Why, instead of having a URL and instantiating my client right here, I need to dig through the sands of DI bindings to find a way to "configure" HttpClient for this particular instance? Well, I understand theoretical reasons, but in practice they never make sense and only add pain.

Another bonus point for run-time binding errors. Those sometimes slip through even when there is a "test" in the CI/CD suite for that.
I think dependency injection has its place, but as used presently it resembles a cargo-cult.
Hard to trust research about governance by an organisation who’s mission is to “advance solutions based on the principles of limited government”. Not sure what the agenda would be, potentially an attempt to discredit and marginalise groups who generally don’t share the views of Cato. Quick DDG search shows previous Cato research has been flawed.
IMO discords insistence on constant relogins and phone numbers for most things makes it not work well for many, including those who cannot give phone numbers for privacy or other reasons. The forum format has a lot of advantages.

Why is an appeal to authority bad in a context of non experts? I mean would I dispute the space time curvature with friends? No but if I did someone would point out hey, all physicists think so and so. Not atop physicist? Not great to oppose this opinion.

What happens if some websites don't allow you to add more than one passkey? Now, you need to keep track of which site has backup key, and which site doesn't have one. Also, the website needs to store multiple public keys now.
> The idea is that `Pr[h(x) = h(y)]` is small _no matter the inputs x and y_.

That sounds like such a function is strongly collision resistant, which means it's also second preimage resistant. And that gets you most of the way to a cryptographic hash function.

Is the only difference that it doesn't have to be first preimage resistant? Compared to cryptographic hashes, does that expand the set of viable functions a lot, to allow first preimages while still not allowing second preimages?

> It is all about probabilistic guarantees

So are cryptographic hash functions.

When I search for `algorithmic probabilistic hash functions` I just get results about bloom filters.
Hypothesis: so many adults have mental issues such as depression because they grew up with parents going to the office a lot of the time (for no good real reason other than "manager wants me to").

Most kids grow up without their parents really being there for them all the time. I feel this must be especially harmful the younger the kids are.

I personally find it completely inhumane and the whole going to the office thing makes 0 sense to me. I mean it makes sense that managers want to physically feel in charge of their herd, but that's obviously not a good reason from my perspective.
Google's condition is due to jaw droppingly incompetent management. Not the engineers.

Read the ESR1 rapid update. The methods say:

"A targeted electronic literature search was conducted to identify any additional phase III randomized controlled trials in this patient population. No additional randomized controlled trials were identified. The original guideline Expert Panels reconvened to review evidence from EMERALD and to review and approve the revised recommendations."

Where is the meta-analysis? Where is the funnel plot? What are you even arguing about? They issued an update because of one trial.

Here is another one from June 2022, a major change to how one type of breast cancer is managed, in the methods:

"A targeted electronic literature search was conducted to identify phase III clinical trials pertaining to the recommendation on immune checkpoint inhibitors in this patient population. No additional randomized trials were identified. The original Expert Panel was reconvened to review the key evidence from KEYNOTE-522 and to review and approve the revision to the recommendation."

Where is the meta-analysis? Again, what are you trying to argue? They issued an update because of one trial.

There are two updates this year, one about HER2 testing, and one about ESR1.
I would go every day if it was 5 min. Even if it was 15 min. But right now my commute is 1 hour+ unless I go off peak but that makes the scheduling awkward. Still I do that pretty often because I find the collaboration far superior in person. One day in person produces more good ideas than two months remote
You know the SEC doesn't regulate the world, right?
IMO remote works better in big co vs. small co, since you will never interact with a large amount of teams in person. They can be and will be many offices away. Big co has issues in adopting the latest tools, but that's about it.
Is this even an LED exclusive problem? I was taught this is mainly due to alternating current, and is seen in filaments as well.

That seems like poor design, proper ventilation shouldn’t be directly aimed at any humans. But 70 degrees seems like a very standard temperature for indoors, I wouldn’t consider that cold.
This reminds me of the psyop that the British executed in WWII: that carrots improve your vision.

They spread that misinformation to cover the fact that they had new radar tech that let them bomb at night.

I wonder if the US gov has some kind of hovering tech and they're smoke signaling it under UFO?
Imagine calculating all possible routes an air molecule could take to escape after it is blown in. In the box case, the air molecule has 4 potential escape routes instead of 1 in the direct stacked filter case. And each escape route has it traversing 1/4 the amount of filter material.

Could you give an example? That support article doesn't mention anything about it. I do recall reading something about that recently, but I read the article and it it made no mention of what syncing passkeys actually means. It sounds like theoretically I could write an app that uses the same APIs Apple uses to sync encrypted credentials between TPMs. But "however you please" sounds suspiciously like "however you please, as long as you don't sync it to anywhere Apple can't vouch for the safety of the keys."

Which again, seems like the worst of both worlds.
Those issues are applicable to using password management tools generally, rather than specifically to passkeys, aren't they?

It sounds to me like passkeys are a simpler and more secure approach that apply within the existing context that requires unique complex passwords for every account.

In terms of solving those issues, a 1Password account configured on multiple devices with a secured accessible backup of the emergency toolkit has been a robust solution in my experience

A million times this. I can read at pretty much an 18 year old level, but i can barely synthesize at a 14 year old level, and this is where i need pushing.

> speech to text shouldn't generate text which is outside of the practice language

Another take: the speech recognition is too good with my sloppy banlieu french. I need this to spot my mistakes and make me practice correcting myself. I said "chuis something-or-other" and it correctly parsed my intention to say "je suis", but i want that pointed out to me. also my wife corrected me from the other room on "toi" vs "tu" and Giglish just glossed over the mistake.
This will vary depending the provider, but you could think of passkeys getting synced between devices in much the same way that saved passwords get synced.

Apparently Google's implementation stores an encrypted backup of the passkeys in your Google account [1]:

> A single passkey identifies a particular user account on some online service. A user has different passkeys for different services. The user's operating systems, or software similar to today's password managers, provide user-friendly management of passkeys. From the user's point of view, using passkeys is very similar to using saved passwords, but with significantly better security.

[...]

> In some cases, for example, when the older device was lost or damaged, users may need to recover the end-to-end encryption keys from a secure online backup.

> To recover the end-to-end encryption key, the user must provide the lock screen PIN, password, or pattern of another existing device that had access to those keys. Note, that restoring passkeys on a new device requires both being signed in to the Google Account and an existing device's screen lock.

So, if you use Google to store passwords or passkeys, it would be a good idea to save backup codes for your Google account somewhere safe. (Like you should do anyway.)

> What happens if some websites don't allow you to add more than one passkey?

Do you know of any which currently only allow one passkey?
Does it / will it support retractions?
Ok Tailscale. You like to get on the latest security buzzword bandwagon, very nice but this makes me trust you less.

Passwords are outdated in the same way key locks ok doors are outdated and all they did is have someone else manage federated authentication.

I am so exhausted at screaming into the void over this topic. You all do whatever crap you want just know that whatever you do, if it isn't at least 2FA it is as shitty as passwords. New and secure just means threar actors haven't adopted to it yet. You know the nice thing about old shitty security? There is decades of work and lessons learned on how to make it work nice.

Keep your silverbulletd and reinvented wheels and give me knowledge based factor (password,passphrase,pattern,etc...) and a completley separate NGC like FIDO2 and credential recovery options that don't involve email or yet another set of credentials. Now, that hard security implementation will actually keep me secure but these lazy bullshit security anti-patterns force me to depend on some bullshit 3rd party vendor, compromise on my privacy and still have me be one step away from total pwnage.

All tailscale has convinced me is that they think passing the buck to someone else or getting in on a hype is in the best interest of their users as opposed to investing in layered and reliable security.
There’s kind of an obvious answer that starts with the letter ‘g’
I've had conversations with people blitz'd out their mind that where more coherent, intellectual, and factual than what's on History channel these days.
People keep repeating they have “things in the works” and “massive reserves”, but meanwhile they flail around for years. They could have had a massive head-start, they were the inventors of the transformer for crying out loud.

I’m not seeing indications of anything interesting brewing in their HQ.
This is indistinguishable from the "I don't trust my computer" threat model. Apple could also surreptitiously scrape your screen or copy your processes' memory.
The Bay Area is a car sewer that could be teleported to the middle of Florida or North Dakota, and it would fit right in. It's a place you go for a couple years to make a bunch of money and have zero life, and you get out as soon as you possibly can. No culture. Just asphalt, office parks, pollution, run-down houses, and tent cities.

I live in a town of 80,000 now, that feels more urban than San Jose. It's crazy. San Jose is not a real place. It's a million people all dispersed in a couple hundred square miles, seemingly at random, all in their little boxes on the side of a highway. No landmarks, no tall buildings, no walkable areas. It's not the middle of nowhere, it is nowhere. I'd say you could not design a "city" more poorly if you tried, but the rest of Silicon Valley sure proves me wrong there! Mountain View is even worse somehow!

I'd say that they'd have better luck selling New Yorkers on their dystopian suburban hellscape if they weren't so obnoxiously positive about having paved paradise and put up a parking lot, but toxic positivity is kinda California's whole thing. They're not capable of putting themselves into our cynical headspace. You have to buy into all that woo-woo crap to survive out there. We're fundamentally incompatible with it. Won't find anywhere livable west of Chicago until you reach Tokyo...

One thing the author seems to miss: web-based rich UI was facing serious headwinds because W3C accessibility standards were definitely still a thing and nobody wanted to associate with a project that was getting dragged publicly by ADA activists for giving screen readers the finger.
A job that pays well and occasionally exercises your brain sounds like a pretty good job to me.

Though I think Daniel Pink's book Drive said that people tend to be more satisfied at work when they have autonomy, a sense of purpose, and an opportunity for mastery, and that it can be worthwhile to try to find those things.
I would feel warm under such circumstances. That air is still above my preference.
Cool, I don't want to work at Google anymore.
There are a few examples in history and it never really works out long term:

Pullman is notable for its wage cuts of workers (while still charging the same for everything in the town they owned) which caused a major strike that got ugly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_Company#Company_town

Pripyat, in Soviet-Ukraine, a “nuclear town” was established and subsequently evacuated when the infamous meltdown occurred: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat

In the US, specifically, a lot of company towns issued scrip instead of cash or allowed workers to charge to an account expenses they could not afford. This may be outlawed but I think this model can be sufficiently masked with technology that it can be implemented and even incentivized for workers to use company money. Further, the company town’s isolation will suggest workers stay inside. Now your whole social circle and standard of life is dictated by someone else’s bottom line.
I think it's more likely to be the opposite: we're creating more mental issues by being more isolated from everyone outside our immediate family. "Stranger danger," watching screens or talking on the internet instead of hanging out in person with other kids/teens, etc. Generations that don't know how to meet people or talk to people outside of pre-arranged circumstance/activities or explicitly-circumscribed situations like "if you connect on Tinder, it's for dating or sex."
Maybe it's because the tiny strip of land doesn't warrant so much attention. Coupled with facts like Jordan is also part of Palestine and is 4 times larger than Israel. Or basically just reading a history book rather than watch CNN. I recommend Time Immemorial, a book that cites all its resources in the appendix rather than cramming a bandwagon narrative.

Oh, the best one (not in the above book as that was written in the 1990s, before the following):
Israel offered the Palestinians up to 94% of all lands they claimed their own. Unilateral, without demands. On 3 occasions and under 2 different PMs. The Palestinian leadership refused each time with no counterdemand.

Read a book.
