This is addressed in the twitter thread. It is believed that a gastrointestinal infection of COVID simply doesn't shed virus particles, except through excrement, and the GI tract does a good job of denaturing the viral proteins so that they are mostly inactive. That is probably why it hasn't spread. Yet.

But that says nothing about how infectious this strain would be, or how virulent if it were to be contracted as a respiratory infection. This could be the new Delta/Omicron, or worse. We could be one explosive diarrhea away from a new pandemic.
The fact that I don't want to go to the office doesn't mean I don't want to go out :D
Physical devices, like Yubikeys and iPhones, have rate limited PINs. It’s not enough just to steal a device.
Ethanol also has a nasty tendency to eat various portions of the fuel systems in older vehicles that don't have gaskets and hoses made of material specifically formulated to withstand it.
> But that's not something we can really control, any action we take on climate even the most drastic won't have any real effect for about 30-70 years at least.

That is the wrong way to think about it. Any action we take now is affecting all future years. Replacing fossil fuels with renewables not only reduces carbon emissions this year but also over all the next years. Additionally, taking action now tips the economies of scales further. Renewables come cheaper, fossil investment unattractive.

Thus I think the best way to face the looming catastrophy is to act more decisively and invest much more heavily now.
> if I could walk 5 min to my office, would I still want to work from home?

Yes, because I don't want to get covid.
As far as I've seen, they all do this using a transparent element placed over the page.. which I filter away.

To me as someone without children, if I worked in that design department and was forced to work from the office, they’d have my resignation the morning of the second time this happened.

Get a babysitter or work from home.

I didn’t chose for people to have children that they miss all day. I shouldn’t be burdened at work by their choice. At least not twice.
The critical point is that contrarians are always necessary for science. If we always ignored dissenters then we would never make any progress. Even if most are wrong, contrarians are essential.

Thus deferring to the ‘consensus’ and implicitly ignoring contrarian views stops science in its tracks.

I don’t understand what you mean in your first paragraph, and I don’t support dogmatic positions so I’m not sure why you refer to ‘dogma-contarians.’ Contrarians are usually anti-dogmatic.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” Unreasonable contrarians are generally annoying but essential.
Hey now, Howard St in San Fransisco is a pretty great camp ground. Everything you need, with REI right around the corner you can try every tent with their infinite return policy, or just take the tent out the front door and not bother with a receipt. No permits necessary. Cant really think of anything similar in competitiveness.
AFAIR, you can register in Figma as a single user, i.e., user = customer. So, one DB instance for each of the 4 million users [1]? Sounds like a lot of overhead.

no, this is false. this is different than 2FA. you can reset your passkey just like you can a password.

> With passkeys, if someone steals my physical device, then they have full access

Unless they also have access to your fingerprints, face or something to that effect, they do not have access to your device. Every time I create a passkey, I am required by the device to provide authentication. I'm not sure if this is a hard requirement because all my devices have PINs, passwords and fingerprints but I assume that your device needs to have some form of security for passkeys to even work. In 1Password's demo, I had to authorise every individual login call with my system PIN on Windows and fingerprint on Android

If you don't use biometrics and use a pin/password and the attacker has access to both your device and this information, then there is no difference to how it currently operates because the attacker already has all the info necessary to take over your accounts. If an attacker has your device AND access to biometrics, then you have bigger problems
Exactly. For example there is this with Stellar [0] which is certainly a use case for sending money across the world into crypto wallets, same day, near instant and very low fees.

But most HNers here are not begging for donations, or suffering from starvation or are currently at war (Ukraine) or not experiencing hyperinflation (Argentina) and are not the ones who experienced their bank accounts getting locked after protesting against their government (Canada).

But never-mind. But a clear pattern I’ve seen on HN is that they only care as long as it directly affects them. (For example, look at the herd reaction about the Bob Lee situation in San Francisco [1])

Since they are not experiencing all of the above and are comfortably sitting in their chairs browsing on this site on their computers, why would they care about crypto use-cases since it doesn’t affect their luxuries, yet?

but having no fresh air exchange

That 'but' isn't a given, modern houses which are properly sealed should have ventilation as well specifically to address that issue. Proper ventilation comes with inlet filters but those usually don't keep out PM<x> so still the purifier will have to do sme more work because of the constant sucking in of polluted air. However, I honestly do not know how common venitlation is already on other continents than mine where it's been made pretty clear by now that sealing a house equals need for ventilation.
Funnily enough, it would simply never work on a mobile OS — it’s the desktop OSs that are at the optimistic 90s levels of security, still.
Life is not zero sum. You can structure an exchange so that both sides benefit. Many (most?) Reddit mods believe that was the setup, but it’s being lost now.

Your last statement misses the point. I doubt raising the price of gas to $10 per gallon would change care usage all that much (although it would likely greatly increase the pickup speed for electric vehicles) because demand for vehicle transport is very inelastic because the actual problem is zoning and land use making cars the only viable option. Make a bunch of simple changes to zoning and land use laws and sit back and in a couple decades you would be surprised how drastic the change can be because that's 20 years of all construction (including road repair maintenance) pushing the shape of the city in a direction that supports a multitude of transport options and ultimately makes the city a lot more vibrantly human rather than loud, dreary car based annoyances.

Apple protects passkeys via FaceID or TouchID. If you're satisfied with biometrics as a 2nd factor, then there is no regression in your scenario.
What would comparing random food prices prove? There is literally no benefit to comparing the price of let’s say dragonfruit when the average American doesn’t eat dragonfruit. Using common ingredients that’s always in demand sets a strong baseline.
Interesting analysis!

I don't think the behavior is strictly equivalent. From this extension's description:

Cook has been amazing at scaling the company and sailing Apple thru some very difficult times that would have derailed other companies. Apple is a gigantic company yet people buy it's products to feel unique. It's an amazing dichotomy. He is an amazing CEO. Jobs not only picked great products but people too.
Your own linked says that location data is not linked to you.

On iOS you can go to “Location” and Reddit doesn’t show up as even an option.

And you cited an article about iOS 10 that came out in 2017. As of 2021, it’s 88% that opt out of tracking

Low code is hard, not only do you have to deal with insane technical challenges but also need to make sure you’re building the right level of abstraction. I wonder if it’s better to focus on very specific niche applications instead of being a “backend” builder.
I tried this once but the fan didn't seem like it was capable of pushing sufficient air through the filter to do anything. I remember I looked up a bunch of articles on this to make sure I was getting the right kind of filter, and it still didn't work well.
I find it weird that anyone thinks even the people deciding to do the layoffs think they are a solution. They are a consequence of a problem.

buy a real respirator for next time. They're normally cheap and so so much more effective. bonus you can spray paint or resin print with them.
> The big advantage offered by many of the VPN vendors this article looks down on is the fact they can give you a residential IP in the target country

This is almost always not true.

There are "residential" VPN providers, but they are scammy AF. The only way to get access to a true residential IP is via some proxy/gateway software run by a customer of a real home ISP. These are usually obtained via botnets of infected PCs.

Users of residential VPNs are usually using them to scrape sites which try to prevent scraping and so are probably happy to turn a blind eye to where they get their IPs from.

They're also much more expensive then traditional VPNs.
There is a report of a fire started by overheating of the box fan motor in such an ad-hoc purifier. The box fan is not designed for this application.

Humbly suggest not running this unattended.
But there is also the transfer of trust to the VPS provider, no?

The cloud provider may have a less favorable privacy policy.
> (Of course, it's possible to have a site that has no way to reset your password, and just assumes that you'll never forget your password. Similarly, those sites could have no way to reset your passkey. In that case, the problem is as you say: there'd be no way to recover your keys if you lost access to them.)

Isn't this the catch though (I haven't been following passkey work much)?

Every site knows users will absolutely forget passwords, so having a reset mechanism is a must. But I can imagine many sites thinking nobody will forget a passkey since it doesn't need to be remembered, thus hardcoding it in ways that make reset impractical.
I know a very early version of chatGPT could be busted by asking it to write its input backwards and talk about it
I have defined it in your other comment, relax dude. No need to jump threads because you're emotional.
I don't think so? I feel like that's the sort of thing that'd make the front page here, and I haven't seen something like it in a decade. It's a good idea tho!
Moderation on mobile is a nightmare because moderating a single item often involves several distinct actions: approve/remove comment, read/edit user note, ban user, edit ban note, etc. None of these have an unified default interface and most mods only know it from using mod toolbox. Mobile moderation-oriented 3rd party apps are unsatisfactory because they are, well, unofficial and Reddit provides no guidance or resources beyond the API itself whatsoever. It has been improving somewhat over the past two years with many web mod tools being added or revamped, but it's hard to build and maintain trust with the moderator community when Admins constantly make one unpopular move after another.

Reddit successfully offloaded content moderation onto a group of volunteers since the very beginning. This is a massive cost saving factor compared to other major social media platforms. It is only fair for Reddit to invest a small amount of those savings in return to enable volunteers achieve better efficiency.
Okay, you use the username as the the key. What is the benefit over putting everthing in a partitioned database with partition keys?
Any way of making real money out of game mechanics (selling Pokémon, cashing out in-game currency) instantly turns your game into (a) gambling (assuming you have any kind of randomness at all, which virtually all games do), and (b) a Mecca for bots, scammers, gold farmers etc. Someone losing their account is no longer losing just some in-game items, they are losing real money, which gets the police involved real quick.

Diablo 3 actually did this exact thing at launch with the real money auction house. Shockingly, they didn't need crypto to do so! But it also didn't make them too many friends, and they had to pull it down a year or two later.
what about Radon?
> If you do get a positive reading, I would suggest having someone else try with the same kind of test with their feces to be sure it isn’t a false positive. Weird shit happens.

well played.
Agreed, but for other reasons.

Even 1 day a week in the office is useless. It means you HAVE to live near the office or in the same state even. It's either remote or it's not.
It's a good extreme example of something that the work place really claims that is way out of the bounds of what they expect you to do during work. On top of that, it's considered to be less appropriate than gossiping at the water cooler.
Because a 5 year old was present?
Ah, thanks, I think it makes sense now. The use of hyphens is confusing too. I would have preferred either:

> Passkeys allow you to go passwordless: rather than a password that can still be phished, you get a strong credential that syncs securely across your devices, using your chosen password/passkey manager.

OR

> Passkeys allow you to go passwordless — rather than a password that can still be phished, you get a strong credential that syncs securely across your devices, using your chosen password/passkey manager.
It really should not be too hard to put the whole thing into a sandbox where only select files can be accessed. But desktop OSs are way behind here.
I’ve used a lot of different sensors for random purposes and it’s almost always the same few companies (or a knockoff of them) at each the price point.

Building a sensor-on-ic is more comparable to the process that pharmaceutical companies go through in their R&D rather than traditional logic chip makers. It’s a lot of experimenting, use of non-standard materials, and pushing fabrication techniques to their limits. They don’t have to disclose how it’s made in the same way as pharmaceutical companies are required to, however, which means they have a monopoly on the tech until someone decaps the IC and reverse engineers it.

Rust 's flexibility exists for a reason, and it isn't as if the whole Go modules aren't without issues.

Not to mention the whole bonkers idea of having package names bound to Github repos and source only.
> You might have noticed that when I'm talking about modules being organized as a tree, I say that it seems to be neatly organized. Because the dependencies are acyclic there, modules aren't actually organized, this tree structure merely provides an illusion, while underneath there is likely a dependency mess, and there can be hundreds of files in that mess, and Rust seemingly encourages that; otherwise why would we need modules to be organized in a tree in the first place.

Personally, this strikes me as bizarre. It is only an "illusion" if one expects a module tree structure to map one-to-one with dependencies. No one should expect this, as I will explain with three uncontroversial and widely known points:

A. Are there any languages where parent-child relationships between modules necessarily imply dependency semantics? I can't think of any, nor can I envision any sane language doing so. [Note 1]

B. In Rust, like with so many languages, when a module is nested in another module, that means the inner module is scoped inside the outer module. It is about namespacing, not dependencies.

C. Dependencies are created when the contents of something in a module refer to another module.

[Note 1]: How would such a language specify more than one dependency? A node in a tree can only have one parent, after all. This would rule out a one-to-one mapping.
Acute exposure is generally a concern for individuals with respiratory conditions e.g. asthma.
Nope.

I lived 5 mins from my office for ages - I specifically moved to the area to avoid a commute, save money on transport, etc.

Still preferred to work from home.
I replaced my iPhone in-store and they transferred all my data. All my data except my Google Authenticator codes.

I lost access to at least one account as a result and had to submit identity documents to recover the account.

I now make sure I have backup codes stored somewhere.

Interestingly, in the past couple of weeks, Google Authenticator can now back up to your Google account.
I actually think it’s the opposite—if you notice your usual purchase suddenly goes up 20% it’s very noticeable because you are always buying it. It may cause you to buy an alternative.
If I’m obligated to work at a place where I can’t avoid children, then I’ll find a different workplace.

Obviously I couldn’t say my reason for resigning out loud in polite company. Children are a joy and a treasure.

But I’m not the only one of your colleagues who secretly doesn’t want to hear anything about your children and resents you (the hypothetical “you”) for bringing them to work.

I’m just not allowed to admit it, even during an exit interview.
Good. I get they don't want to be responsible for keeping user credentials. But requiring permission from a big tech company to manage or access your own networks boggles my mind and made me not use it.

Now if only they supported this for setting up the entire account too, as opposed to additional users only. I hope that's coming.

I purchased a soldered unit and the CO2 monitor seems defective and I can't trust the readings.

Sometimes it reports 0 if left on for extended periods, other times the readings are wildly out of range of what the module is listed to support. I have emailed them regarding a different issue and didn't have the best response back and hasn't inspired confidence to raise this one.

On the plus side the module is replaceable and I'll probably just source it myself rather go through support.

Is there a way to store the ultimate root of trust somewhere non-digital? I currently have my most important root-of-trust passwords printed out on paper stored in places I consider long-term secure.

when this stuff hit hard in seattle 2 years ago I had a bunch of air particulate sensors and arduinos for covid research projects.

Other than telling you not to cook inside and not to open the windows they didn't say much. AQI inside didn't change much with ac on or off... or when I quickly went outside.

The purples were usually good but also not way off in a few cases. I drove to one that had crazy high readings and it was actually the lowest reading I found on 2 different devices.

Basically all the monitor is going to have you do is fret. Like watching pandemic case load statuses. Take a bunch of anti-histamines, don't go outside, drink water, wear a respirator. Run in house hepas if you have em. Hope/cross fingers/pray for rain.

Spend your money on a real respirator or filter. Work from the office, they yusuallly have good filters.
I’m curious, if we have a hub and spoke vpn, could we have peer to peer end to end encryption, with the exchange between them facilitated by an untrusted hub on a cloud instance?

So, the phone wants to connect to a media server at home. In hub and spoke vpn, both connect to a vpn server. The problem is, the traffic decrypted on VPS. I want the packers from phone go to vps then to home, with end to end encryption. The VPS acts as a relay.

The connection between peers need not be direct (peer to peer). The traffic could go through the central hub if needed. I just don’t want the hub to access the decrypted traffic.
