Some banks do still allow SMS by itself as the only authentication factor (presumably because they haven't got around to updating their solution or maybe think they've found a workaround), but it's not compliant with the PSD2 regulation in the EU at least. The solutions I've seen usually use a password or security question as the other factor.
If you're already using a password manager with secure randomized passwords, you're not vulnerable to credential stuffing unless that specific service had a breach. I suppose TOTP may still protect against unsophisticated phishing, but only as long as the attacker doesn't phish a TOTP code at the same time and pass it straight along to the service.

Are there other threats that TOTP-in-password-manager can protect against that the randomized passwords don't already?

Yep, that's why it is super cool things like mealworms can consume styrofoam - they have microbes in there gut that do the actual digesting, but they can chew it up physically, which is very important.
Yeah something doesn't add up.

It sounds like they are in the UK. You can't just fire someone out of the blue like that in the UK (assuming they are a FTE), unless they have done something obviously "bad" (proper misconduct etc). If they don't need you anymore there is a defined redundancy process.

If they were not a FTE and were in fact on a temporary contract, then this is totally normal and expected, and the author should have known that as a contractor. Contractors are easy-come-easy-go - that's the whole point of them, and why the pay is higher than FTEs.
I remember flying VOR radials in Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.1, released in 1995. It came with a printed Pilot's Handbook [1] that included IFR procedures, explained how navaids work, and included various sectional charts.

This really gets my blood flowing, it really is the future! The question is: can we get experimentation in biology, say, for high schoolers and undergrads, as easy/cheap/interesting as computing? On the order of buying a good laptop, i.e. - $1,500. What can be done on the order of buying a rapid and a few sensors and a breadboard, $50-$100?

Unfortunately pretty much biological equipment is so expensive and relatively hard to use. Case in point: my son is looking to measure amylase activity in the presence of various inhibitors for diabetes research. The cheapest spectrophotometer devices are $1k-$2k. Surely there must be a way to lose some accuracy but bring the price to $100-$200.
An agency. We have a product in the market and a few internal experiments we're working on but the bulk of the revenue is from software services.
Yes, it's something you have, but it's not a second factor if you're storing your (randomized) password in the same place. If you do that it's just two redundant checks that you have access to the same single password manager vault.

This one seems easily fixed. The Quest can already do this, you can choose if you want them curved or not.

> Even present-day chemical rockets could be pretty destructive. Get something massive that won't burn up (like a rod of tungsten) up to interplanetary velocities and you can approach the yield of a small tactical nuke from just kinetic energy. This has been studied at least on paper by militaries. I think the phrase "rods from God" was used by DARPA at one point for the rod of tungsten idea.

Also known as "Project Thor", it was devised by Jerry Pournelle before he became a science fiction author. More on various iterations of the concept can be found in Wikipedia:

Things get more insane the further you go.

After an observed 12 years of constant 1g acceleration, you will be 113,000 lightyears from your point of departure, which is enough distance to cross from earth to the opposite side of our galaxy.

Of course, you are now traveling at 99.999999996% of the speed of light. If you actually wanted to stop at the other side of the galaxy to take a look around, you would need to turn around at the halfway point to decelerate, which roughly doubles the travel time.

Are you questioning whether viruses can infect organisms or whether they can cause disease?
I think the quartz sand metaphor was to illustrate how advanced our silicon-based technology has become, not just the ML parts.

Imagine all the stuff... transistors, Turing/Von Neumann machines, lithography, theoretical computer science, OS and compilers, the Internet... and lastly there's modern day machine learning that builds on top of all the above.

The base level stuff isn't exactly protons and electrons, but given the nanometer scale of our chips, it's not that far away from the truth, and we (humanity) has somehow built amazing stuff on top of that.

It sounds like the poor reviews for the ICs was warranted, wouldn’t you say?
It is. There isn't even a tiny battery that can last a couple minutes while you swap batteries. I would have expected at least that.
Theft: A $2000 laptop is an easy target for anyone with sticky fingers, and so is a $1000 smartphone. A Yubikey has essentially zero resale value, so you will not lose them due to random theft.

Durability: If you drop your smartphone, there's a pretty good chance you'll shatter the screen and buy a new one. You can play tennis with a Yubikey and it'll be fine. You can run it through the washing machine and it'll be fine.

Longevity: Laptops and smartphones generally only have a 3-5 year lifespan due to battery degradation, and many people will want to swap it for one with more storage or whatever anyways. A Yubikey will essentially last forever, and if you stay clear of the insanity that is Passkeys its Webauthn element can support an infinite number of websites.

Portability: I have a smartphone, a work laptop, a home laptop, and a home desktop. My Yubikey has USB and NFC, so it can trivially be used with all of them. Individually enrolling each device would be a nightmare, and having the credentials sync is a bad idea from a security perspective.

Security: If your device gets compromised, it's pretty much game over: the attacker can now log in to all your accounts, any time they want. With a Yubikey I have to physically insert it and tap the button for each login - which is relatively rare because active sessions don't tend to expire. This means I would have to actively participate in a mass compromise of my accounts, making it way more likely to be noticed.

You could think of it as a résumé card. You show it to someone who needs someone who can do things like that, and (if they are clueful) they try interest you in their hiring opportunity (not try to neg you with Leetcode nonsense).
Taking it even one step further, I probably would really be better off managing the window tiling in my window manager, however, I still have yet to settle on a tiling window manager that works well enough under wayland and supports everything I need well enough to give up the Gnome shell. I did try https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri this past weekend and it's pretty great. niri is inspired by PaperWM. I used PaperWM for a while and it was pretty awesome but suffers from the same issue as all of the tiling extensions for Gnome shell: they are never stable enough for for my daily use because Gnome is a moving target and the gnome shell extension API isn't really up to the task of radically transforming the window management paradigm. Projects like PaperWM have too many downsides that are really difficult to overcome, despite their significant innovation and appealing UX.
Or maybe they fired him precisely because of the type of bugs that showed up. You wouldn't want a "move fast and break things" guy to manage billions in cash flow ;)

> Having a category meaning “this is much worse than a 4” would be meaningful here.

But don't you think that cat 5 would become the new 4? That is: why do you think extending the scale will expand the range of warnings communicated, instead of smearing the existing range out over more values?
> There’s a highest value turd of all the turds in my septic tank but it doesn’t mean that turd is valuable.

If turds are the highest value resources that you have, and you have some scale on which you can value them, then yes, it does mean that particular one is valuable. 'Value' is largely subjective. Maybe you want to make some fertiliser?

Hopefully it's obvious that the contents of your septic tank are not your highest value resource. However if you do feel that way, perhaps you could benefit from speaking to someone about it who can help you to improve your life and your outlook? Things are difficult in the world right now and it's easy to feel down about life.

Increased demand might lead to increased prices? And consequently increased production to capture profit? The horror!
Fair point about the original comment talking about rhythm. Agree we don’t study it in theory. And thanks for sharing Dilla, this is new to me.
The usual counterargument is that the worker agreed to exchange their labor for a price so it's "fair" and therefore not exploitation, which is obviously juvenile. I appreciate that you at least go beyond that simplistic platitude, but it seems equally shortsighted if not ridiculous to get caught up about what qualifies as "full use" of a human being, which is probably why most people just stop before going there. You didn't even mention the wage! I have to ask: would a slave that never works beyond 40 hours/week be considered exploited?
Well you could sync it with your iPhone, right? I assume it's the same notes app that syncs through iCloud?
It has the look but not the feel. Norton Commander was extremely fast on a 4.77mhz 8088 (basically an 8 bit processor pretending to be 16 bit. It took two clock cycles to move 16 bits across the bus). It's no comparison between those old DOS apps written in ASM that really optimized every instruction for a specific architecture. They felt 100x faster and more immediate than modern computers.
I.. do not think we had similar experiences as children.
I've been having a similar thought. The future isn't lugging your computer around on your face. Desktops will stay desktops, just like a workbench. It's about computing the physical world.
which is definitely a comparison function I've seen before.

In which setuid-root program?
I'd have to disagree.

The problem is that the vault file can be copied, which means this is now "something you and your attacker have". Even worse, it's not just the (probably encrypted) vault file: if your computer ever gets compromised, it is trivial to wait until you unlock the vault, at which point they can extract the now-plaintext TOTP secrets.

The way I understand it, the "something you have" factor is something which is intrinsically only a single item: either you have it, or you do not. If it can be copied, one of the copies could be compromised without you noticing - and because it's a copy you wouldn't even be able to revoke it without changing your own token too.
If they ignored heroics like that, I would have been searching for new employment immediately.
They are not saying the earth has never had a drought before the Industrial Revolution.

Frankly it'd be a fool that would think that they did.

Since the Industrial Revolution CO2 concentrations have increased by 50%, by half as much as was there for some 10,000 years prior.

The physical, engineering reason why comparing CO2 amounts in the amosphere against all other gases in the atmosphere is incorrect is simple - Oxygen and Nitrogen do not insulate - they are not greenhouse gases and do not trap infrared radiation.

What is significant is the increase in the amount of insulating gases - this directly ties to the increases in trapped energy.

It's a common mistake made by those that don't understand the physics.
In general, yes, but when I tried it, all free autorouters (and the paid one in Altium) failed to do the fan-out/escape of the ESP32's BGA.

I then built a little CLI tool which used bitmap images and ConvNets to do just that one fan-out, but then I lost interest in it as soon as the PCB was finished.
Mentour pilot on YouTube has these cases and explains them well, including those different law modes.
There's two different kinds of energy here - the kinetic energy of a moving thing hitting you in opposition is a problem. No way to capture that as far as I know - it's like running into a wall and asking how it can help you go faster.

But then there's e=mc^2, so if the stuff you're running into is the fuel source for your fusion engine (could be a fission engine, but unlikely you'll run into heavy atoms like Uranium or Plutonium) then you have an unlimited source of energy...

So maybe sort of? Running into things slows you down, but then you capture that mass and release the energy out of it to go faster... because of the nature of e=mc^2 you'll usually get more energy out of something if you convert its mass than what you lose by running into that mass.
Seems crazy to tell them in an email "I sometimes get nervous in important phone calls." Why would you do that??? Just leave it at "I prefer to discuss this type of thing via email" ... no need to announce your incompetence.

> …I guess I’ve been an enthusiast since the Rift Kickstarter?

The rift CV1 was really comfortable because there wasn't a whole lot in it. No processing, no battery, no cameras. It was pretty light.

And the strap was not built down to a price and skimped on to upsell the elite straps.

Even the much heavier quest 1 was way more comfortable than the quest 2 and 3. Way better standard strap. So good an elite one wasn't even needed.

I had fun with setting the "throttle_value" variable to something insane, like 30 (1 is the max on the slider), to see how close to c you need to travel at for the web app itself to disintegrate.

Apparently, it takes just over two lines of "9"s on a 1920px display for this to happen. The speed wraps back around to zero, and the world time becomes NaN as an added bonus for (nearly) breaking the laws of physics.
Note that more than a few airbus accidents happened because the pilots didn’t trust the computer. The reports usually end in; ‘if they had switched to automatic…’
Curious - crypto mining processes transactions, right? How does the electricity usage compare to a data center used by a large bank?

Obviously the bank can do things in a much less computationally intensive way, but my point is would this happen if a bank decided to use some computationally heavy process in its data center to make its transactions more secure and it used the same amount of power?

Many of the things you mention are not really done in hardware.

For example, unit tests. Even in FPGA designs, you can run functional simulations on portions of a design to help save time and validate. I don't believe we are yet at the stage where we simulate the entire chip. Not sure it would make sense even if you could. You have to worry about real-world effects such as clock skew and jitter that might not necessarily be deterministic. If you have designs running at hundreds of MHz or GHz, at one point you have no option but to run the design on the real IC and debug in hardware.

The other issue is that every company is likely to have their own process for some of the things you mention. Harness design and manufacturing is a good example of this. Companies like Siemens, Zuken, TE and others have professional solutions that often integrad with CAD/CAM tools (like Siemens NX) and produce professional manufacturing-ready documentation. Job shops, in many cases, are setup to receive files from industry standard tools and work directly from them. WireViz is a neat tool, but it is pretty much at the hobby level.

For example:

https://rapidharness.com/

https://www.zuken.com/us/product/e3series/electrical-cable-d...

https://www.sw.siemens.com/en-US/vehicle-electrification-wir...

You should not be discouraged though. That said, I would still urge you to interview a lot of EE's and product design engineers to really understand what you are walking into. You need to realize that you are not likely to change the entire product design and manufacturing industry just because you offer a software-like approach to design. That's just not going to happen. Industries have tons of inertia and they tend to only be interested in solving pressing problems, not adopting entirely new workflows. Also, the EDA/CAD/CAM industries are paved with the corpses or thousands of offerings that, collectively, over time, defined how things are done today.

My guess is you'd have to raise $100MM to $300MM, hire tons of engineers and devote ten solid years to materially influence how things are done. Nobody has the time or budget to introduce new tools, new problems, new training and grind their entire product development process to a halt just to adopt a new paradigm.

I'll give you an example of this from real life. The CAM tool we use to program our CNC machines is crap. We use CAMWorks Professional, which integrates with Solidworks and probably cost us $30K+ per license (between initial purchase and maintenance fees). We want to switch to at least doing CAM using the Fusion360 tools. However, this will definitely cause us to take a hit in productivity and possibly put out bad product for a period of time until the dust settles. And so, while we absolutely detest CAMWorks, we have no choice but to continue using it until a window of opportunity presents itself to make the switch. And, of course, also knowing full-well that the Fusion360 solution isn't utopia. There are no perfect tools. Just choices you might be forced to live with.
