1Password, Apple, and maybe Chrome can sync them into the cloud so they become device-independent. Under such an implementation they're basically like a cloud password manager but instead of filling in a password for you, they just send the token.

I use the 1Password one and it's super convenient on several devices. Probably less secure than real 2fa or proper hardware encryption though. Basically replaces "something you know and something you have/are" with "something only they know".

Why? Extensions that are not implemented in silicon: who cares.

For extension that are implemented, better if there's a standard.

As for the # of them: just look what's been bolted onto x86 over the years, and their counterparts in other ISAs like Arm.

Consolidation will happen in the market, over time. Some combinations of extensions will be common, some rare. And due to the modularity, not a big issue for software.

What’s your salary?
They're at the same level, but maybe not doing the same job. Even if they're nominally in the same "job code" the actual mechanics of what they are doing, the sensitivity of their work, the skills required for success, the markets/industries they are operating in, the pay scale where they live, the level of functional support they are receiving may all be substantially different. Of course there may also be other decisions such as upping salary to entice an employee not to accept that other job offer they got (do you want to remove pay leverage of looking for jobs elsewhere by mandating same salaries?), or any such other consideration.

Individual pay isn't some 2+2=4 math equation, it's multifactorial. Now any company with good internal controls would have people in some sort of band where for comparable (not identical) work there's a range of normalcy relative to the value the work provides in the given markets the labor is occurring.

It isn't an extra tax. It is a rebalancing tax. The rich have nothing to do with this.

It is purely about how much land you sit on and where. That's it.

> Basically you're asking for normal people to work, get raises forever

Nope, it mostly incentivizes real estate hoarders to start making productive use of there land. It allows normal people to buy houses because this system inventivizes the increase of supply.

> land they already own because the rich need to get richer, you should sell?

If your lad value tax increases enough to be unpayable, then your house has likely appreciated 3x+. This makes you one of the rich.

There are no new houses in the neighborhood so the normal person can't afford a house. With land value tax, you can sell the land, make bank, and allow access to greater housing through upzoning. The normal person benefits greatly.

Either housing is an investment or an essential commodity. It can't be both.

Advertising the salary of people paid by the government as a means of accountability to the taxpayers? No problem. If you don't like it, don't live on the taxpayers' payroll.

Advertising the salary of people for which there is no current requirement, for which there is a current practice of non-disclosure, and for which there is no taxpayer accountability benefit? I think that merits discussion rather than a advance conclusion of "a few of us think it's a good idea, so get bent".

META (14%+) outperformed MCD.

SP500 was equal to MCD.

What is a stock basis? If your unit of accounting is money, and your goal is money, then the total return calculator, which includes dividends, linked above is going to give you the only answer.

I cannot conclude there are not plenty of businesses out there outperforming the tech megacaps. Amazon might be lagging in the 5 year period, but you have to look on a timeline of decades. There is a reason these companies are at the top of the market cap rankings. There are entire sectors of other old businesses have not increased in decades by what just AAPL or MSFT alone have grown.

ZeroMQ is a big abstraction over sockets. The higher the level of abstractions, the more these things are usually necessary.

If you're using a library like that it comes with the territory, and you have to decide for yourself the cost-benefit of using non blocking sockets and async io yourself, or trust a library.

Much more fun to write these things yourself sometimes, but I find e.g. libevent a nice somewhere-in-between abstraction level I can be happy with.
It's still more efficient for a single factory to fell 20 trees and produce 20 chairs than it is for 20 people to fell their own tree and produce their own chair. Not to mention one person can't specialise enough to produce everything to the same standard as someone who does the same thing all day long, or an automated process which is optimised to do that exact thing at scale.

You, as a renter, are getting it -- your landlord is deducting their (commercial property) mortgage interest from their income (your rent). Probably in their Schedule E. [0]

Furthermore, for homes purchased after 2017, the personal mortgage interest deduction has been capped on $750,000 of mortgage debt (first and second home only, combined). [1]

Given the boosted standard deduction, thus isn't a major difference.

If you're going to pick a windmill to tilt at, there are much larger structural issues in US housing. As mentioned elsewhere: zoning that precludes new unit construction, SFH zoning for areas that would support denser development, etc.

Yes ? If everyone suddenly started using English instead of Croatian it would be a net positive in my book. I'd probably get a lot better at casual English which is something I notice talking with non-Croatian speakers outside of work.

I'm not saying we should force adoption of English ! Tech and globalisation are pushing in that direction in the "west". People I see pushing back the most are "intellectual elites" invested in the language, presenting their value judgements as objective arguments.

> How many of those houses are on the fringes, and how many are in the CBD?

Take a look for yourself[0]. This is just outside of the downtown area. Loads of vacant lots. This is theoretically prime real estate, and would be ripe for development. The problem is, it's the fucking hood and no one wants to live there. Detroit emptied out over the decades and those empty lots _used_ to be decaying crack houses. So several years ago Detroit had them leveled to reduce blight. Now they're whining that people are just "speculating" by sitting on the empty land. If there was even the slightest hint that developing this land made sense economically, someone would have done it by now. It's just too convenient to the downtown area. And yet, no one has. Perhaps there's more at play than just people trying to sit on empty land.

I have a very hard time believing that sales-people and trades-people don't take it into considering when negotiating or quoting a price. One of the reasons a car sales person wants to "check your credit" early in the process is to get your credit rating and address - which helps them guess your price sensitivity - and many home services certainly take into account the area you live in even when it is irrelevant.
Why are you focusing on “Moroccan” (IMO a problematic term, considering the country’s language diversity), instead of on Maghrebi Arabic in general?
Show HN: GoodByEmail -A Privacy-First Email Inbox Cleaner. No OAuth Token Needed
Hello HN!

My inbox was overflowing with unread emails and 98% full. I wanted a clean inbox, but I didn't want to hand over my logins or OAuth tokens to third-party tools. That's why I've created GoodByEmail, a privacy-first inbox cleaning tool.

On my first sweep with GoodByEmail, I reclaimed over 5GB of storage space from small emails alone—none of it from attachments.

This wasn't just about creating another inbox cleaning tool; I wanted to build one I'd be comfortable using.

GoodByEmail stands apart from other inbox cleaning tools by not requiring you to grant access to your email account. You don't have to "trust" GoodByEmail, since, by design, your emails are never uploaded to GoodByEmail's servers. No OAuth, no third-party permissions. Heck, you can even run the tool offline.

Addressing the Real Inbox Challenge:
Most inbox cleaning tools focus on unsubscribing from mailing lists, which is great for stopping future clutter but doesn't necessarily help with the heaps of old emails already in our inboxes—many of which aren't even from mailing list senders.

GoodByEmail's inbox analytics feature addresses this challenge by showing users exactly who their biggest inbox space offenders are and how much space all those smaller emails take up. Oh, and of course, I've also sprinkled in a handy unsubscribe feature.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or questions on this.

>No animal's shape is arbitrary. It's the result of eons of evolution and generally results in morphology quite unlike inanimate objects.

No, the same is true of non-living things. The shape of a rock is not arbitrary. At any given time, it's the only shape it could have when you take into consideration all the trajectories of all particles since the Big Bang. What makes the trajectories of particles of living things different from those of the particles of non-living things?

>When we see a sculpture of something alive - at least a representational one - we recognize it as the shape of something that was (or could be) alive. There's no confusion that it's indirect evidence of life - whoever made it.

This is just begging the question. It presupposes both a clear morphological delineation between living and non-living and that supposed results of purely physical processes are not in fact works of art by sufficiently weird aliens. Also, necessarily life must have started at some point from non-living materials, so how is the shape a rock takes when it's struck by another rock falling on it fundamentally different from, say, a particular sequence of base pairs in your genome?

The reason you can tell a sculpture is a sculpture is that it conforms to a particular cultural language that you understand. For example, it might reference something you know, such as a particular animal. If you had no idea what animals look like and you saw a sculpture of a dog and a dead pigeon, would you be able to tell which one used to be alive? Or if you saw a living cockroach and a robot vacuum, would you be able to tell which one is alive?
>Most homes are not $2mln showpieces that require a special touch, they are a commodity item.

But buyers do not treat the much cheaper homes as undifferentiated commodity items (like paperclips and crude oil) because each house is situationally different.

E.g. One house may be listed for $250k and is on a desirable corner lot but also needs a new roof and kitchen remodel. Another house is $280k and already has a new roof and updated kitchen appliances and is also 10 miles closer to the office to cut down commute times but costs +$30k more. The combination of tradeoffs (location, condition of home, price, etc) to be matched to each buyer's priorities is what makes homes -- even the low end homes -- resist becoming commodities like paperclips. In a box of paperclips, you can randomly pick any one and you don't care. Picking a house doesn't work like that.

Part of the real estate agent's job is to downplay the negatives and highlight the positives of each house they sell. I don't think that work is worth the 6% commission but regardless, houses are not commodities to the point where most buyers & sellers are comfortable with no intermediaries in the transaction.

I would agree, it's the first trial run and it went rather well. Now just iterate on it a bit and it will progress or settle down. It's not like alcohol companies all stayed. The amount of wine/vodka/beer/what ever startup -> bust stores are way more then a few large cannabis producers.

All true, but equally important is that life is rapidly increasing entropy in a larger, but also local, frame. It’s like a fire. So, in a closed system, living things must exhaust their source of energy and reach equilibrium with its surroundings.
Recently I read that Leonardo DaVinci was a huge procrastinator, with an enormous queue of unfinished projects. I always admired him for being so successful on so many things and different areas, but after knowing this, it changed my perspective that procrastinating is a part of us, the creative people. You can frame it is a failure, but it's also possible to reframe it as part of the process. In the end, we enjoy building stuff.
The author of that blog post, who is not Apple, appears to be slightly confused. There's a crucial distinction:

1) The key used to encrypt the keychain is stored in the secure enclave.

2) The keychain data itself is not stored in the secure enclave.

The secure enclave only stores keys, whereas the keychain holds arbitrary data of arbitrary length. If keychain data were actually stored in the secure enclave, there would be a danger of it running out of space!

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/certifica...

"When you protect a private key with the Secure Enclave, you never handle the plain-text key, making it difficult for the key to become compromised. Instead, you instruct the Secure Enclave to create and encode the key, and later to decode and perform operations with it. You receive only the output of these operations, such as encrypted data or a cryptographic signature verification outcome."

Here's the kicker:

"Can’t encode preexisting keys. You must use the Secure Enclave to create the keys. Not having a mechanism to transfer plain-text key data into or out of the Secure Enclave is fundamental to its security."

In other words, nothing ever goes in, and nothing ever comes out. This makes syncing of secure enclave keys impossible. What can be synced are keys that are encrypted and decrypted by the secure enclave. These keys are the aforementioned "output".
> Are credentials and expertise not a reasonable measure of merit and achievement

I think the assumption behind their statement is that this in fact the case.

Media/politics use the words credentials and expertise interchangeably, and credentials invariably means those issued by universities. So a professor is assumed to always be an expert, even if they can't evidence that in reality. The result is a large number of ivory tower academics who call themselves experts in things, but who have no skin in the game and whose theories are never tested against reality. Hence the replication crisis, which Marc Andreessen is on the record as being very concerned/aware about.

Determining actual expertise is the Number 1 problem faced by both VCs and startup founders, and those are both communities who are famously rather indifferent to credentials.
You can't have a "black market" on a product that is legal. It's called a "gray market". But that doesn't matter what it's called.

On my way to work I drive by several stores on native reservations that have giant $60oz signs on the highway. These are not legal stores, they are not allowed to sell like that, I live in a province that it's only allowed for sale in the provincial liquor store. Yet they exist and people walk in all the time. No police will touch it as it's nothing but a hassle. So what does that mean?

If a store can exist and sell and pay taxes, but it's not technically legal, is that not a gray market?

And that's fine I don't know a single person so it's my statement versus your statement.

The rest of what I said is true.

I think it's completely subjective, because it depends what degree of specificity you are edging on. In one extreme, plenty of people are convinced they see animal and even human like figures in the Martian landscape photos. On the other extreme, under a microscope, no two rocks look exactly alike, let alone like humans. That subjectivity of scope, I think, clouds our ability to grasp the complexity of the subject, and our ability to discuss it from an objective perspective.
As a listener, Bandcamp is my favourite place for discovery bar none. Find a genre or label and start exploring the catalogue. Find other users with similar tastes and explore their lists. Follow artists, labels and users to see their activity stream.

It's not as passive as just hitting play on a playlist, but I've discovered so many incredible artists and labels this way. I'd be genuinely devastated if Bandcamp goes away.
