Thanks for this.

We are hugely frustrated with providers insisting on SMS as a 2nd factor for commercial use because we value employee PII and feel they should not need to seed data brokers just do log into enterprise platforms.

We are looking for a solution at scale for SMS 2FA that, according to the national number registry and KYC/anti-fraud checks, is a "real" mobile SMS number.

We've found hardware devices that take from 4 to 32 SIM cards and are heading in that direction which seems ... nuts.

But, we value employee privacy and these days when even your accounting firms' privacy policy say they're selling your contact info upstream, we want to give employees a way to log in without compromising themselves.

Also, to anyone here running a B2B SaaS that offers TOTP instead of SMS, thank you.
> I know people closer to the coast paying as high as $12k/year. This is unsustainable

Do you know how that $12k/year translates to a percentage of the home's value? Naturally, $12k/year insurance on a two-acre Palm Beach beachfront palace with imported Italian marble countertops and Viking ranges is different than $12k/year on some normal house.

Speaking of unsustainable: I know people in New York (state, not city) that pay 2-3% a year, every year, on property taxes. It's a different kind of risk that needs to be priced ;-)

> We are making progress and as long as the pessimists don't get their way.

I've been hearing a similar statement for decades now, but the global emissions only continue to rise.

In fact, I've been hearing that logic since the late 90s and in that time we have doubled the cumulative emissions up to that point.

We have seen that emissions drop with decrease in economic activity (multiple times). Yes, batteries, renewables, and nuclear would all part a big part in a truly sustainable future... but we have to survive until that future first.

> Reducing carbon emissions isn't a solution

We're well past the "solution" stage of this problem. Where in the "harm reduction" phase. Reduced emissions is absolutely superior in this regard to increased emissions... and yet you're arguing that we should be increasing them because a magic solution is just around the corner, like it always has been.

Protobuf is very widely used, I just had to Google flatbuffers...
I always liked the idea of capnp, but it bothers me that what is ultimately a message encoding protocol has an opinion on how I should architect my server.

FWIW, gRPC certainly has this problem too, but it’s very clearly distinct from protobuf, although pb has gRPC-related features.

That entanglement makes me lean towards flatbuffers or even protobuf every time I weigh them against capnp, especially since it means that fb and pb have much simpler implementations, and I place great value on simplicity for both security and maintenance reasons.

I think the lack of good third-party language implementations speaks directly to the reasonability of that assessment. It also makes the bus factor and longevity story very poor. Simplicity rules.

Yes, that is very much the plan! I'm glad you asked because it's good to know people are needing that functionality in the real world.

(I need to actually learn Fusion 360 so I have firsthand experience with that, though, plus then I could finally stop just lazily using Blender for all my 3D printing models.)
This is by far the most interesting analysis of this topic that I have read since a long time. Given your writing, I am assuming you know a bit or two about the issues, but you seem to not be directly affected too much. This would be great, as "external" people often do a lot of guesswork (instead of thinking) and end up in weird corners, albeit still having good intentions. What I want to say with that is that it is not very often that I hear people analyse the situation so on the point, without falling for pity or patronisation or other "traps". The first thing you mentioned is especially pressing. It turns out the vocal minorities indeed get what they want after a while, but what they forget is that there is only so much space for inclusive work, and if you overstate your case, you end up taking away the freedoms of other minority groups. While I understand the dynamics, and I really try to stay fair, this has led me to no longer care about sexual minority and gender problems. To me, they have way more comfort in our society then my group, and while I also want only the best for them, I am no longer capable to pbulicly support their cause because I am damaging my own by doing so. And, dont get me wrong, I am fully aware how harsh that might sound, and probably is. But I cant help myself.

>unique identifier to prevent multiple sign up

Yet there’s already a black market where you can buy multiple accounts with real iris.
Market is same as before, here in EU, but people just got a bit more cautious and economy is not exactly prospering with the war and inflation. Hence, a lot of risk aversion and tightened purses. Also, due to sudden spike in interest rates, raising investment(previously you gave a shiny pie-in-sky presentation and got money, now you need to demonstrate demand and having actual revenue and improvement plans etc..) hiring became much more slow and competitive. Also a lot of people left school due to inflation and higher taxes and scrambled to find some work as savings were abysmal due to follow your dream and get rich quick schemes(crypto/social media shills etc).
I think that's a stretch.

>That's not really fair

Uh, what? It's not fair to say that a vastly more complicated thing evolved from a simple thing? That's how it always happens - each step seems reasonable, and justified, but you look at what those countless rational decisions added up to, and bam. That's the complexity everyone says they hate. In technology, in government, in basically everything.

(Oddly, culture seems to be okay deprecating old bits of culture; the brain is inherently finite so we run in cycles and epicycles of cultural fashion that remains roughly at the same level of complexity.)
I am likely not revealing anything new to you (nor I know much about hiring), but:

Taking a look at your CV, I notice that you have a lot of very short work stints, averaging at about a position per year.

This is probably just the nature of contracting, but I can see this putting off most companies that are looking for someone to dive deeply in the business domain and work on supporting a project long-term.

I also feel a lot of those "we need someone with experience on X technology to onboard us or fix some urgent problem" jobs are on a downtrend, given the rise of XaaS solutions, convergence of development stacks, more documentation, stuff like ChatGPT, etc.

These things are very rarely thought of by the defendants themselves, especially if that's a doctor employed by an important and a wealthy lab.

I'd doubt the doctor in question made the call himself about the organ harvesting -- most likely his employer was well aware of the procedure.

We will most likely never know what the doctor himself thought about doing it.

> It always boggles my mind when people jump straight to "bin it" rather than "I'll see if anyone wants to buy it".

I think people underestimate the time and effort that goes into doing that. It's not as simple as "I'll see if anyone wants to buy it", now it's a project you have to manage. Not only do you have to deal with people contacting you about it but then you have to find a time/price/location that works for everyone and you get to deal with the long tail of "Is this still for sale?".

I mean for something like this I would absolutely put out feelers since I know there are people who would pay for it but in general I just donate stuff after posting in my friends chat to see if anyone wants it. It's just not worth the hassle, for myself it needs to be well over $100 before I try to sell it. Maybe that's "privilege", maybe that's "lazy", I don't know.
That property in question is ~$650k in the Orlando area. It is not an overly fancy home, having been inside it.

> Pyro enables flexible and expressive deep probabilistic modeling, unifying the best of modern deep learning and Bayesian modeling.

Does anyone who works in this area have a sense of why PPLs haven't "taken off" really? Like, of the last several years of ML surprising successes, I can't really think of any major ones that come from this line of work. To the extent that Bayesian perspectives contribute to deep learning, I more often see e.g. some particular take on ensembling around the same models trained to find a point estimate via SGD, rather than models built up from random variables about which we update beliefs including representation of uncertainty.
Yeah, BIND is hard to configure. Unbound/nsd are so much easier to deal with (once you find the correct documentation which is an exercice in frustration)

It seems unreasonable to me. Public institutions have a duty to the public that should be above any “self preservation” to protect itself.

People do like to blame this on JS, but it's been true as long as I've been writing software. "Don't build on unmaintained libraries" was a lesson I learned hard in Ruby, long before the javascript ecosystem was a thing.

Most software cannot really ever be "done", if only because no software operates in a vacuum. Nearly all software relies on a language, a standard library, an OS, direct dependencies, indirect dependencies, etc. The only way your software can be "done" is if it relies on absolutely nothing, and very little useful software does that.
