My sister worked as a waitress. Credit card tips were delivered to her on her paycheck minus credit card processing fees. I've never heard of a restaurant that would tip out cash for credit card transactions the same day. Now if they did do that, they might have to report those tips that it cashes out on the worker’s W2 along with the employees reported tips

I think it is even more obvious for gig workers whose income are reported via 1099s and their tips are collected by a third party. I'm pretty sure Uber must report tips as general income. Now, it is possible for the rider to give a tip to their Uber driver directly as cash, and that wouldn't be necessarily reported (or to tip their delivery person directly rather than via app).
Plumbers get paid for their work though. Some eager youngster gets exploited, at least once in their lifetime.
> we just had TOTP codes that 1password could auto fill for me on any device in any location

Doesn’t using your password manager as TOTP code generator reduce the number of factors back to 1?
Inferno Drainer stole $900,000 worth of Chainlink’s LINK tokens in late January.
Phished private wallet keys through a fraudulent crypto airdrop website.
Swiftly drained the wallet with two transactions.
Yet another multi-hundred thousand dollar crypto hack hit the news this week, tied to the surging real-world asset tokenization trend and lax security practices.

According to threat intelligence group Arkham, hacking syndicate Inferno Drainer made off with $900,000 worth of Chainlink’s LINK tokens from a Swiss crypto investment fund’s hot wallet in late January. The attackers allegedly phished the victim’s private wallet keys using a fraudulent crypto airdrop website.

> dbt is not elaborately modeled at all

This doesn't make any sense, or I'm guessing you've never actually used it. Modeling is something you can do with dbt, not what dbt does (or is, or can be?). I've used it to create data marts and EDW's with hundreds of tables, no differently than I would have created a decade ago with other tools.
The closest I have come is a copy of a museum exhibition catalog about Dieter Rams from 1981 that is signed by him. I bought it online. The copy was described as having a scribble on the front page and priced very low as a consequence. Years after, I saw Dieter’s signature somewhere and realized that my book was signed.
Yes, due to their large bankroll and diversified position, VCs can afford to be risk-neutral and only care about expected returns. Founders and employees obviously cannot be risk-neutral, ergo startups are a great bet for a VC and a terrible bet for anyone else.
Additionally, the 2000 and 2016 elections were met with legal challenges, not a violent mob trying to overthrow the government.
That’s not what OP said. They said it was a case of exploitation and they are correct. People just don’t like to hear it phrased that way because it brings up negative connotations.

Now, while the agreement may be exploitive that doesn’t mean it isn’t mutually beneficial or that the situation be zero sum, at least viewed at a small scale. It’s perfectly possible to be exploited by someone and still end up in a better situation regardless. The level and terms of exploitation are what matters.

As a member of the labor force you ideally want to minimize that exploitation and be charging as close to your value add as the market will bear. In an idealized situation, you pull more than the market rate in some way shape or form (higher pay, less work, etc.) because in a capitalistic system you should be doing your due diligence to help the labor market optimize the way the employer market is optimizing.
I recharge my airtel with Rs 1700 something, which gives me a 365 days validity, without need of any additional recharge (plus some GB data everyday).
Yeah, that's what's especially insidious about it. Until you attract the eye of Sauron by somehow setting off whatever unknown security trigger (which btw will never ever be disclosed to you), you'll never notice just how quickly everything can be taken away without any recourse. Everything seems just fine, doesn't it? Until it isn't.
Armenia is run by a US-backed stooge, so Russia expected the US to defend Armenia. But whoops, the US chose to win a favor with Turkey by backing Azerbaijan instead :)
That is definitively not exploitation.
The point is that some people just don't have a choice.

You are right, as described in the article, it will not protect you from being fired. But choosing not to work overtime may directly cause the firing.
You could always use a different password manager or different buckets. Both the apps I use (one for TOTP and one for passwords) can do both lol.

My passkeys are shared with family members in iCloud (where they are synced to) for bus factor. I don’t recommend using Google for any consumer services if you can avoid it, especially syncing your password/passkey database, as there is zero support if something goes wrong.
As a European, the idea of paying to receive a call or text is alien to me, but I understand it happens in the USA.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for an EU network to charge for receiving a standard SMS or MMS - even while roaming.

I can therefore receive an SMS OTP in any country and won't pay a penny.

I once traveled ('97) to go see the damage done by an F5 tornado and what struck me was that a 50ft wide section of asphalt roadway had been removed where the eye had passed. Granted that is about 270mph, but I would still be worried about depressurization even in a bomb shelter.

I do disagree with the title, telco's should be responsible for SIM swap attacks as they should have better processes to prevent people's mobile numbers from being ported.

Additionally, whilst people rave about 2FA apps, not many people talk about an approach to recovering your 2FA app account if you lose your device or anything else.

For Floridians, Cat 5 is scary but not that scary, Florida's one crazy state with sturdy buildings and only very select areas get leveled in major storms. There definitely needs to be a better way of rating hurricanes, for strength AND area of damage.

Hurricanes are extremely area focused, and they lose power FAST. It can miss you at the last second and not even knock a shingle off your roof, while leveling a trailer park 50 miles south of you.
> Before this new wave of SMS trash

My favorite is it's often paired with "passwordless" trash lol.

Why can't I just give my whole fucking credential out in 1 action. What's this nonsense where I have to enter my username, THEN wait for the page to load, THEN click "send verification email" or "send code", then half the time they want to SMS me and have me enter another code lmao.
This take varies greatly depending on the user's experience.

I can knock out a responsive grid layout taking advantage of pseudo elements and :is() selectors quickly with CSS. Doing so with Tailwind is a nightmare for me, I end up searching docs for classes for every style I want and combinatorial classes for pseudo selectors will never click for me...why bother when simple things like spaces before a :has() selector or `margin-block` isn't even available?
> Car ownership is manadatory in most US cities yet car ownership is very expensive, for many who finance it is ever more than the cost of rent.

Only someone in the USA would claim that car ownership is very expensive without knowing how much it cost in most of the rest of the world. Sorry, but owing a car here is super cheap compared to other countries I've lived in (Switzerland, which has cheaper auto ownership compared to the rest of Europe, and China).

Insurance is basically risk pooling, and you need someone to calculate the risks, and get paid for that work. They also have to setup a lot of other things. Now, the government could be the insurer of last resort, but they aren't going to be very good at it without profit motive, or maybe it will be heavily subsidized like flood insurance in Florida.

We are already able to shop around for insurance. I changed insurance companies 2 times in the last 5 years because their premiums jacked up beyond what I was willing to pay. If it were just the government, I'm not sure, I guess it would be like medicare. Except where you use the government to act as a lender per accident rather than as an insurer. It is an interesting idea; you could have banks do that as well, but they would be forced to loan to people they normally wouldn't to. If the government was the lender, or guaranteed the loans, it would be more like student loans?

That's why it's so rewarding to learn how to do all this the manual way. I started playing with the G1000 which basically did everything via GPS, then I tried some older planes which required the use of separate charts and VOR.
Then why not just store the encrypted credential on the device itself?

Would that be what passkeys would be?
Too much of a good thing: the trade-off we make with tests
It doesn’t work on all sites and apps, which is an annoyance. Why it can’t intelligently offer the SMS OTP when a user is just waiting on an input field and an SMS comes with a code is beyond me. They should be able to decipher the messages, regardless of variations in formats, and know the code.

BTW, the setting to enable or disable this seems to be under Settings->Passwords->Password Options->AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys. Turning it off and on may also work (as these things tend to behave across devices and operating systems).
Yes. Even with 128 bits (uuid), I like that the policy is simply to treat each one as universally unique without needing to check any system for collision
You don't call a lawyer, you call the most competent person whose phone number you can remember and tell them to get a lawyer.

Ideally, you have a relationship with one or more, but if you don't come from an upper middle class background with a refined appreciation for insurance policies, now is the time you call your most competent contact and beg them to get the ball rolling on a lawyer and bail.
Many banks and card issuers are using SMS for 2FA in Europe.
In practice the only widespread attack that either TOTP or SMS authentication help with is credential stuffing, and if you use a password manager to use unique passwords on each site you're not susceptible to credential stuffing to begin with.

Understanding the root cause or causes of a problem is required before discussing a solution. Is the problem that people use SMS? Or rather is the problem that carriers allow bad actors to easily port a phone number? We know it is wrong for a carrier to do this.

If we know that some used car dealers rip people off, is the fix to stop buying used cars?

Then how do we fix the problem that carriers do not protect our phone numbers from being ported?

We sue them. In most if not all states it is relatively easy to file a small claims case. For some reason most people do not consider this. Maybe someone could provide an example filing. Courts should and must provide relief to common citizens when they are aggrieved.

If this is indeed a common problem it should be documented and fixed.
Why not offer an agreement for off-peak use, and put profits into expanding capacity?
This always seemed like a great use case for bootstrapping new power generation projects. It provides an immediate customer for excess base power generation that can be scaled back / migrated once demand picks up.
If the attacker is targeting your 1P, then yes.

If the attacker got a list of passwords from a leak and your password was on it, the 2nd factor provided by the TOTP will still save you.

So, it just depends on your threat vectors. I’d rather people I support keep unique passwords alongside TOTP in a manager they’ll actually use than skip or use SMS TOTP because of a vague concern about targeted hacking of their manager.
I am working on a part search engine for company maintenance teams. We built a search engine that searches parts in real time across a dozen or so vendors (Amazon, eBay, McMaster, etc). We then leverage Chat GPT to extract data from product titles. Part number is one of the key elements we extract. Since part numbers vary greatly across manufacturers, it's difficult to throw something like a regex at it. It has done a really good job so far for data extraction.
TIL, thanks for the source! I really liked chakra and used it as influence when writing my own UI library - funny seeing that typo in the readme!

Seems like ‘fannypack’ went to ‘bum-bag’ as its successor. I wonder how much naming has to do with popularity of libraries, and if chakra took off because it was more appealing to larger tech companies. Satirical names never seem to get too big from what I’ve seen.
The ideal compensation is:

compensation = (value produced) - (cost to employ the person) - (opportunity cost) - (risk)

By and large, that's what the employee gets. Get paid more than that, you're apt to be fired. Get paid less than that, you're apt to change jobs.

@jxom went on to create bumbag and in that repo recommends Chakra as an alternative for these unmaintained libraries.

See top of readme: https://github.com/jxom/bumbag-ui

So not sure what controversy you're trying to stir. Fannypack didn't have dark mode, Accordions, Alerts, Breadcrumbs, responsive containers, and a whole slew of components that Chakra had.

In fact if you look at the Avatar component from Chakra 5 yrs ago vs the Fannypack Avatar you'll see the code is completely different.

https://github.com/segunadebayo/chakra-ui/blob/master/src/Av...

https://github.com/jxom/fannypack/blob/c7046c5f58cc68ee756be...

The most likely story is he was just using Fannypack's docs as a reference for how to format his own.

when you say 'because the natural numbers exist' what you are really saying is 'because i am a platonist'. while that is a perfectly reasonable reason for you to believe things, it's not going to convince anyone else, in many cases not even other platonists. i reserve the term 'mathematical reasoning' for things that do, and i think that's a more widespread definition than the one you are using

I’m admittedly baffled by this article, and I’ve also skimmed the arxiv paper. I’ve formally studied music theory and Bach more than the average person.

First, I’m not sure why the author has chosen to represent music as a graph showing the relationship between individual notes. Usually we analyze Bach in terms of harmony and the relationship between each chord. In fact, we don’t even care about chord names, we just care about the relative differences, which is why we use Roman numerals to analyze instead of note names.

I think there is something interesting in using a graph to model voicings, but the example here seems to ignore the very methods Bach used to compose.

To that end, we very much already know what Bach does to create tension and release or surpass the listener. It’s in the name, “deceptive cadence”.

So I would have loved for this to have confirmed - or refuted! - something we already know. For example, to quantify for us why a V-vi cadence feels deceptive. But we never get there. We have a set of graph techniques applied to Bach’s music without much discussion of why we believe that way of modeling makes sense.

I'll never understand why people would work for free like this. I learned very early on (like during my minimum wage job years - 16-21). I am not working more or less and I only work when clocked in (or in the case of most corp jobs, 9-5). If I don't get paid a sizable diff for "non-regular working hours", your call/email/text is going to be ignored until next business day. Idc if it's G or some low rent dogshit company.
