I’m about the same age and my situation feels similar to yours in many ways.

I was working remote and lost my job 3 months ago. I have very little desire to go back to work and I fully intend to take the rest of the year off.

It seems like some of my colleagues who got laid off are in the same boat, treating 2023 as a semi-retirement year and not really looking for a job.

I think your gut feeling is right and you went back to work too soon. Nobody here can tell you exactly what to do next, because that completely depends on how much money you have and so many other things.
Recovery code system? Like 2FA today, generate a special bootstrap key you can print and save.

This isn't that uncommon. Things like disk encryption also do this (e.g. bitlocker)
If notion of "trained eyes" were to ever have meaning, this would be it.
> Anyone who pays that deserves to be separated from their money.

This a sad statement and simply untrue. The vast majority of people are in other fields, don’t know anything about hardware, and have never even heard the word “Arduino.”

They don’t deserve to be scammed by con artists using fancy packaging as the hook.
right but if you have two crates you have to list the common dependencies twice, and you have to either keep them in sync manually or put the crates into a workspace and then use workspace dependencies, so now you have to declare the dependent crate three times.
So it's back to the effort right? It's not easy afterall!
> Passkeys appear to also be handled by central services?

I don't think it is true that passkeys require a third party, but can someone else confirm?
When Apple or Google receives a request to give user data, and they get thousands of such requests, they compare the cost of complying and the cost of not complying. I'll tell you an open secret that such companies are doormat-level compliant and are very very proud of that.
The pandemic is over, but the economical damage is permanent. Cost of living is rising and never going back. Small and medium businesses are closing while enterprises are cutting head counts.
If they couldn't tell it was AI, yes. Winning an art competition is by itself paradoxical in undermining the point of art, so I don't know how that's relevant, but it is certainly an impressively weak point.
> if I could walk 5 min to my office, would I still want to work from home?

Absolutely, yes. Don’t know how it’s in Google, but offices in our company don’t supply nice equipment like Herman Miller chairs with high quality desk and constant distractions from other people make any kind of deep state of work impossible.

Add on top of that having a house with a nice garden (if you’re one of those lucky people!) and the clear winner is obvious.
Probably easier to start a new life at that point.
If only there were a DLC version :D
Typically, African-American means black AND, unintuitively, American for generations IME. Maybe it shouldn't mean that but that's kind of assumed where I live at least. For first or second generation Americans you might use the country (eg Nigerian-American). For other races from Africa you'd also rarely hear them referred to as African American.
interesting take
> How would you protect someone like Vindman from that kind of retaliation?

Realistically, there is nothing rule-based that I can think of in the US that would protect someone like Vindman. He probably knew that.

The protection has to be from a system of shared beliefs about what is ethical and appropriate.

Trump’s whole campaign and strategy (love it or hate it) was to completely dumpster that idea.

There could be an interesting discussion about the merits and demerits of disrupting the existing system of shared beliefs that was in place when Trump was elected (I would actually welcome that), but Trump mostly (if not entirely) just used the opportunity to feed his narcissism.

> Would you force the MAGA crowd to wash his feet?

Totally uncalled for.

A simple solution would be things like:

- Don’t block his career for petty politics. The problem is that Trump specifically was all about retaliation and petty politics. I think most of the folks around him gave guidance not to do these sorts of petty things, but that was his style.

- Own your mistakes. Again, I don’t think this was Trump’s strong suit.

- Factor in the bigger picture when making decisions. Vindman, if my read on his career is correct, is precisely the type of person we need more of in the upper officer ranks. Tanking his career was bad for Vindman, but worse for the country, imho. That’s just short-sightedness.
My understanding is that the highside always has that wobble. This is the tyre losing and then (fatally) regaining grip just before the crash. It’s the regain of traction that causes the vector of force towards the outside of the corner that throws the rider over the high side of the bike.

This is the death wobble for people who don’t know. https://youtu.be/eoc1EM6yUSc

In this video the rider handles it perfectly and doesn’t crash but you can easily see how this has caused many crashes. As I understand it, it is a harmonic wobble after hitting a bump that intensifies and is due to a flaw in the design of the rear suspension on some Harley Davidson models that they have chosen not to fix to keep the designs authentic. Make of that what you will.

Another terrifying variant on the “death wobble” is the “tank slapper”. This is typically caused by a flaw in the front steering (specifically having the steering geometry too vertical). Having the front forks close to vertical makes the bike handle very fast so is favoured by sports bikes however if the bike steers too quickly and hits a bump the steering will veer uncontrollably from side to side eventually causing the riders wrists to hit the sides of the petrol tank as the bike careers down the road weaving uncontrollably. The most terrifying part of all is slowing down makes a tank slapper worse so pretty much the only way it’s possible to recover from a tank slapper is to accelerate hard, get the front wheel off the ground and put it down straight. As a rider even thinking about the prospect of accelerating hard when in that situation makes me feel sick. Tank slappers are prevented by fitting a steering damper. I had a (crazy) friend[1] who bought a bike that was infamous for tank slappers[2] and then remove the steering damper to “see what would happen”. He had a tank slapper on the West Side Highway in Manhattan.

Just nitrogen for the green part. The nasty chemicals are for weed and pest control.
AI will always lose because the result can only be a permutation of what already exists and the next artist will grow up and push the boundary - hence, AI will always lag behind the tip of the spear which is human creativity.

Not to mention, you are already wrong because art communities around human art are thriving now more than ever for the simple fact that the result of AI itself is non-communal (does not produce thriving community) and cannot compete at the bleeding edge of style.

Again, this is already happening regardless of your armchair hypothesis.
>So I don't really understand how this can be said to be a hardware security token.

No one claimed it's a hardware security token, but the private keys are stored in iCloud Keychain, which is end-to-end encrypted. Apple cannot access your private keys even if iCloud is compromised by an external attacker or employee.

If you're curious about the security engineering, you should watch the "Synchronizing secrets" part of this Black Hat talk from 2016: https://youtu.be/BLGFriOKz6U?t=1353 or you should read the "Synchronization security" section of the "About the security of passkeys" support doc: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213305
Perhaps a naive question, but what prevents a user from running an emulation layer with a virtual browser, that pipes the data to a desired client? Term of service?

Ok what if they decide to run said adversarial interface, host the code outside of judicial grasp, and cover tracks?

Yeah performance would probably be subpar, but if Reddit keeps up this process, that will be the likely inevitable outcome.
Does anyone else feel like this mostly undermines the entire point of "tech" and "the web"?

What the hell is the point of having a hyper connected, super charged by AI world, when ultimately it boils down to having to "go to an office"?

I honestly feel like 95% of tech is smoke and mirrors, the people who own "tech" know this so they end up just asking people to come back to work to help them sell advertisements, which seems like the only way we know how to make money from all this "innovation".

It's really quite mad.
Other than the data outlier of the US basically no nation considers hate speech to be free speech. The US has plenty of asinine speech restrictions too that no one seems to find a 1st amendment problem with, like broadcasting a recent marvel film on my own personal website.
Every time one if these stories pops up, I feel compelled to point out that artificial sweeteners have been tied to weight gain, so unless you are diabetic, there’s no reason to ingest them.

In general, they cause your metabolism to slow down, and make you feel hungrier. Giving them to mice on calorie restricted diets causes weight gain and lethargy in the mice.

Giving a subjectively identical amount of sugar to the mice (on top of the calorie restricted diet) causes less weight gain than the artificial sweeteners. (Because the mice stay active.)
I worry we’ll find the high speed strobe almost all LEDs emit are harmful for humans or animals. We’re told they strobe too fast for us to perceive (sometimes true, sometimes not). But unperceptible doesn’t mean it’s not harmful.

A lot of people that use their iPhone’s slow motion video function indoors at night are surprised to see they are surrounded by a disco of blinking lights.
Not really, the technology behind passkeys behave kind of like managed ssh keypairs.

While they can be designed to have the secrets cloud synced (just lile how you can sync your ssh private keys), there's nothing preventing them from being implemented in other ways, like having them backed by a third party password manager or even a pyhsical token like a yubikey.

Of course, this depends on the software (OS, browsers) actually respecting and supporting that interoperability. But that's not really a limitation of the underlying tech.

Didn’t Alberta have that one big town burn down a few years ago?
I used to work for Pivotal before its acquisition by VMWare and one of the ops person told me that the town halls became a lot less interesting once the company went public and employees are usually the last ones to know with respect to insider-trading rules and policies. While I think the layoffs could have been better but I don't see Hashicorp flagrantly violating their own principles, as claimed by Gergely. Also - hope that employees affected by layoffs find another place soon.

Some domains/url's will auto-flag and the submitter will not see [flagged] or [dead] even if they have show-dead enabled. There is one clue however. If you do not see a "discuss" link for the submission then it is probably auto-flagged. As to why one would have to email dang if they believe it should not be flagged. hn@ycombinator.com Anyone here would be speculating.

In your specific example I see a couple of active links to that domain [1] suggesting it does not auto-flag. If you can not submit the link then the best route would be to email dang assuming you have already checked to verify that no addons are getting in the way.

Yes because most of corporate America is doing work in Markdown.

Have you ever thought that your workplace may not be representative of the wider world?

3rd party apps do not track users, which is a problem for an advertising-based business like Reddit.
> All of this stuff reeks of some kind of psyop. My belief is that for some reason, the US government used psychology tests to identify a select few people who naturally "want to believe". These individuals would take vague evidence and through their own nature would exaggerate and fill in the blanks. They then nudged those individuals with carefully curated credible fake evidence. Then they just sat back and waited for a few of those guys to "leak" the information.

It's ironic to use a baseless conspiracy theory to accuse someone else of a disinformation conspiracy.

I feel sad to see that in the top post of an HN discussion.
So far, the ToS remains the same, with the changes that got the backlash in.
12 years ago, even without AWS, you could get a Linode, host an app on its naked IP, and not made to feel too much like you weren't "serious" about hosting your app. These days you almost always need to know a fair bit of Docker and Docker Compose, a lot of people want to Kubernetes, ELBs got replaced by ALBs + NLBs which you gotta manage in VPCs which you gotta manage through Security Groups and your traffic gets routed through CDNs. Logs are structured and passed to a SaaS which will have a custom search syntax that takes tens of seconds to search them poorly, and they'll get lost in the noise of all those components. You'll spend a non-trivial amount of time devising systems for tracing requests through all these components.

That sounds so spot on.

We do have a choice though. Static HTML, server-side templating, vertical scaling and /var/log still exist and work just fine. We don’t need to adopt the newfangled techniques unless the use case calls for them.
TBH I'm on salary like many here and I do subtract the commute time (1.5 hr round trip) from work hours when I go in. I'm not paid by the hour so I'm not commuting then doing a full 8 hours in the office, sorry.

Commenters of my comment clearly have no clue about how the covid provokes long term inflammation in the brain (yeah even for those vaccinated, and even without symptoms, you just can't know if couple weeks after complete remission you'll be unable to read a book ever anymore).

Anyway I just hope those are not the replies from Google's managers. If it is, then I'm done considering Alphabet as my dream place to work at in the near future.

I was believing that they were the crowd most likely to be very learnt into the scientific details of how covid acts on the brain, how symptoms appear or not, how (little) vaccine influence transmission, and what long covid is according to the last research.

Last but not least, I thought they would be among the first to realize that the covid infection numbers are down for the only reason that testing and tracing have almost stopped altogether.
Plus all he said was that the US gov provided insufficient evidence of their certainty that Russia was about to invade. I recall all the conservative media outlets at the time making fun of the man that gave the press release when a journalist asked him about evidence and he responded that the evidence was that he said that Russia was about to invade.
It's slightly annoying that the "What are passkeys?" section doesn't actually tell you what a passkey is.

Hey it's asymmetric crypto that generates a key/cert pair for every site you register at. Neat. Why not just say so?

I'm getting shades of "passwords are so insecure, passphrases are secure" here.
Most artists actually can tell which style each AI piece is stealing from. If you want the perfect example google "Beksinski". The overall goopy feeling of AI art is actually a turn off for most people, btw.
Thank you. I've read the entire thread and I had no idea what was really causing the issue as I don't think HN is a cesspool of transphobia, hate, etc.

HN causes traffic to the Asahi blog, which causes comments which are generally of low quality, tangential, trying to dox Lina, or vile on the Asahi blog is my summary.

There are other comments here which indicate that as a source of transphobic comments, HN appears to be the prevalent in the referrer of said comments.

I think though that most people who read HN do not comment. I have used HN for a long time and have not seen anything to indicate a prevalence for transphobic remarks - far from it this place seems very tame compared to the same material placed on say Reddit (to me).

This, then, was the issue for me: obviously if vile comments frequently come with an HN referrer, a site admin who reads the vile comments will think poorly of HN - but I don't think those comments reflect the actual commenting HN population, leading to the confusion.
Not sure that’s true. My understanding is the lowside happens when the tires lose traction while cornering so the bike skids along the road on its side with rider often beneath it (or hopefully behind it).

The highside happens when the bike is cornering in a skid and the tires regain traction but he angle of the bike is insufficient for the speed and the radius of the corner[1]. This regaining of traction causes the bike to flip towards the outside of the corner, throwing the rider over the high side.

A death wobble happens on any road (ie not just when cornering) and you hit a bump that the suspension can’t recover from which also causes a deflection in the steering. The action of the bike attempting to gyroscopically self-correct, coupled with the rebound of the suspension causes the bike to go into the wobble from side to side (if the bike has a steering or suspension flaw). You eventually get thrown off the bike either side.

[1] Given the speed of the bike, the angle of lean and the radius of the corner I would think it is often the case in a high side that if the tyre had not regained traction that the bike would have skidded out and the rider would have had a low side crash instead.
I recall among the early 2000s the right wing push to slow down adoption of electric vehicles with President Bush giving some sort of pro-ethanol push in front of some switchgrass. It seemed bizarre to me that corn kept on being pushed when a non-food option was available. But obviously none of this was ever about what “made sense”
Depends on the use case. I live semi rurally and an EV would be a tough sell for most people here. I do see a few of them, but these are households with multiple vehicles where the EV is a runabout, and work is done using diesel or petrol, often a 4x4 from the 80s or 90s with the better part of a million kms on the body.
I think revealing the wrongdoings of the US government was honourable, but fleeing to Russia was a bigger dishonour. You don't have to agree, it's a matter of opinion, really.
The government doesn't come after you for general hypocrisy, as a rule.
The funny thing about the duck curve is that PG&E still charges you the highest prices for electricity during that time period.
It’s not just commute, I’d like an office but not my current employers office so I work from home. I would love to go into a decent office, except they cheaped out so much on the work equipment.

The beige and drab decor is okay, it’s the way the monitors are so cheap and outdated. And the way the mouse and keyboard are the cheapest possible. Giving people doing knowledge work on computers all day the cheapest possible interface just don’t make sense. It’s penny wise pound foolish.

And The office neighborhood is also very unfriendly for pedestrians and bikers. it’s clear planners believed there was zero chance of people actually walking anywhere.

I’d much prefer an office with decent equipment and a better setting. it’s a reason why I am considering switching jobs. To have a decent office to go to.

How are you defining systematizable? As in, creativity can be made via a systematic process? How do you think a brain works, physically speaking, otherwise? As others have mentioned, it is you who holds the burden of proof, not everyone else who already knows that the brain produces creativity.
Well, with that line of thinking, definitely. Because of course, FIRST, you have to invent the universe.
You are correct that there's no better alternative.

Net metering takes this fully into account, since it’s a dollar-for-dollar trade. I’d electricity is cheap during a certain part of the day, what they pay you is cheap.

I tried to buy a phone supported by LineageOS. And I have to say, this is impossible, given the restrictions ("available now" and "costs less than 500 USD including shipping to the Philippines"). So I ended up with a Poco X4 Pro 5G and Pixel Experience as a custom ROM.
