> I don't understand why would you care who created it

The question of separating the artist from the person is not new. Let's try anyway. Not speaking for Brave / Eich, but more generally (because I want my point to be general, not specific to Brave / Eich and I don't want this specific instance to weaken my more general point).

Say you support cause C. Say someone S makes useful product P. You know S hurts cause C (or pushes shitty thing !C), personally. And you know product P brings income to S (since it's their business), making S more powerful. You may think using P hurts cause C, thus you may want to avoid P. Or you may want to avoid P to make a point, symbolically. If only to discourage other people to act the same way.

Let's take Picasso for instance. He was an asshole [1]. He was atrocious with one or several of his friends. He broke the lives of many people including his numerous partners and raped them. Should you separate the artist from the person? You may already be convinced this is enough to want to avoid promoting Picasso or his art so you don't glorify the horrible stuff he could get away with, so future artists are not encouraged in such bad behavior for instance. Or you may not, thinking that the art exists now, and somewhat stands for itself. Turns out you actually can't really separate: looking closer, a big part of the art is related to his rapes anyway. Art does not live in a vacuum and is indeed connected to its artist: it's a reflection of the artist's life.

There might be something in how Product P works or is done that still could indirectly hurt cause C, in addition to bringing money to person S which may itself hurt C. In a way, it may be a matter of voting with one's wallet.

This stuff may or may not apply to Brave, I tried to justify why you might (want to) care where some product comes from more generally.

Of course there are many products where someone working on it is an asshole in their personal life and you just don't know about it. You might even have someone helping cause C working on product P. Now, if S notoriously hurts C, maybe there are people for C avoiding working for S (on P) and this can create a weird culture around P. Things can be a bit complicated.

Moreover, in a way, unlike your average person you may not know about, Eich chose to be public about some of the stuff he gets criticism for and so far never backtracked on this to my knowledge (because he could have). This also puts it to the next level for some.

[1] I can't vouch for any specific English source, but looking up "Picasso asshole" seems to yield numerous results. French speakers may like this video from "C'est une autre histoire": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsuLpUTs50c
It might be worth to switch to GrapheneOS if you have Pixel phones: https://grapheneos.org/

It is a more serious project than LineageOS in the sense that they take security very seriously and they take their development more professionally too. There are no disadvantages to using GrapheneOS compared to LineageOS.

If you want it cheaper, I also have good experiences with Motorola phones. Unlocking requires you to register, but you can use a throwaway mail account and it has worked for me so far many times. Just make sure the device is officially supported by Lineage, I have very mixed experiences with unofficial ports.

Stay clear of anything from Xiaomi. Unlocking is a nightmare and you have to wait weeks to get your unlock code.

Fully agree! We'd much rather be in a situation where criticism is consistently thrown at the project so we can further improve it rather than having positive feedback and the discussion just stopping there.
People will never be motivated to go the extra mile by a standardized, bureaucratized process. It's not a problem specifically with OKRs, it's a problem with the whole concept that if HR can just put in this one simple system then doing so will be magically motivational and the whole company will go to ludicrous speed.

There is no replacement for good people. Not in leadership positions, and not in IC positions. Recruit for strengths, hire for culture, train for gaps. No process, least of which OKRs, can make up for recruiting weak people, people who don't fit your culture, or people not interested in personal growth (i.e. filling gaps).

the interesting thing is, the device may have to be built but possibly never operated. the existence of this device would make all nuclear-bomb-holders scramble to disarm them.
OTOH we'd also have to know where the bombs are pretty precisely, if i understand correctly. i'd put the bombs on a nuclear airport luggage belt and have them go around in circles. makes a moving target out of them.

How would "your way" be detected?
Thank you for bringing back those memories
I met my previous SO when we were both too young to be ready for what came next. As others have said, activities are a great way to find someone. We found each other doing Skydiving. Not nearly as exciting as it sounds, it was actually sat around waiting for the shitty weather to improve whilst drinking tea. But it was something we had in common and regularly did until we had kids... which we rushed into.

Now the kids are older, we both moved on. I've found my SO through work (different field, not tech) but through common work friends. We spend much more time engaging with each other, and is a much different relationship.

I think the main thing to look at is why you aren't finding someone. Are you open to it in your head? It might be worth getting some coaching for an outside perspective.
They say it would cost $100 billion USD

That is like only about 12% of the US defense budget. And I'm pretty sure, much less than what the US has spent on ICBM interceptor research in the last 30 years.

So if it was feasible, I think it would have already been built. Not necessarily as a first strike weapon, but definitely something take out the birds in the atmosphere once they flew
Can someone recommend a 2FA app that can provide the users with confidence?

I don't want to use Google Auth because I have absolutely no trust is this company and how unreliable they are with their products.

I currently use Authy but it's free, offered by a company (Twilio) and I can't really see what their endgame is here. So they could drop the service one morning because it's not useful for their main business anymore.
They already announced dropping their desktop apps.

Say in another way : is there a security company somewhere selling a 2FA app and in which it's easier to put trust?

These are orthogonal concepts.

Roman numerals can describe scale degrees and harmonic function in any temperament. They do not require equal temperament to "work"; they work just as well in just temperament.

The numerals describe the degree/chord's relationship to the tonic. The difference is that in just temperament, you cannot switch which degree/chord is tonic (Roman numeral I) without re-tuning, while in equal temperament you can switch freely.

The Roman numeral notation did come a little while after Bach, but I believe the concepts the notation represents are older (though some of the concepts may have been more implicit in the past).
If we take USB4 80 Gbps as a guideline: That's 80 mbit per millisecond. Apple says their goggles have 23 mpixels. So if we multiply by 24 bits for color, transmission has a lower bound of 7 ms per frame.

So I agree now that the delay is in milliseconds which can push perception into nausea. I hadn't considered the pixel density. Of course they could use something faster than USB4, but it wouldn't be easy to go below 1 ms I guess.
Yes you won't meet anyone on these.

This is what we are doing with my company. We build out tooling that benefits everyone and open source most of it, but our bread and butter is consulting. Our consulting leads us to build more tooling to make our jobs easier, which leads to more effectively delivering our consulting.

I think this is the model most of the big shops like IBM and Oracle also use. Infrastructure tooling is not usually a core competency for most companies, and they want others to do it for them.

A few countries in the area have such a short length unfortunately. I’m lucky to have my European SIM card that I can top up once every 12 months. And even if they deactivate it after 13 months, I can recover it within the successive 12 months if I remember correctly.
> unless that specific service had a breach

Right, and if an attacker can dump password hashes they can likely dump TOTP seeds as well. With that level of database access the attacker may be able to steal all your info from the impacted service, so talking about the password may even be a distraction since all your data is already stolen.

Modeling reality properly is hard. Cargo cults are less cognitively expensive to establish.
I'm a bit confused by your statement.

I'm a bit ignorant of the actual math/logic for modern LLMs (I took Andrew Ng's course on machine learning, but that just gets you to basic neural network architecture).

I'm also confused as to why you would put Wittgenstein in opposition to the concept of language as "pointing at things," as I would put him very much in that school. I'm a bit rusty, but I've been through the Philosophical Investigations a couple times, and I'm almost certain he's opposed to platonic forms.
Worth noting that with "disable" here they mean "trigger an immediate explosion with ~3% of their actual yield". That can still be a lot, expose radioactivity, etc:

> When the neutrino beam hits a
bomb, it will cause the fizzle explosion with 3% of the full strength. It seems that it is not
possible to decrease the magnitude of the explosion smaller than this number at this stage.
It is important to decrease this number to destroy bombs safely. We are not sure what this
means when the plutonium or uranium is used to ignite the hydrogen bomb. We may just
break the bomb or may lead to a full explosion.

If such a tech existed, it could give a new edge to MAD though, because just storing nuclear bombs would suddenly carry a risk of "spontaneous" nuclear explosions. This might already be enough to have a chilling effect. (Then again, it might not...)

If you have the ability to travel between stars, it doesn't seem like there's still need to conquer a planet for resources - except for resources that aren't natural.

For example, you can easily just get water from comets/asteroids, mineral resources from uninhabited planets (easier than to fight the inhabitants), and gas/fuel from the gas giants.

However, one resource you cannot get is slaves. Therefore, i predict that any advanced civilization that can travel between stars would actually invade to capture the life forms as slaves, rather than to extract resources.

File and folder names containing sensitive information get encrypted with non-deterministic encryption (i.e., with random IV) and get decrypted only for displaying purposes. Software can handle GUIDs as file and folder names whereas the real names are kept encrypted.

For indexing, unpredictable data can be hashed (with a salt unique to the field). Both predictable and unpredictable data need get deterministically encrypted - usually with IV being an SHA-2 or SHA-3 hash of the data. This works for exact searches only, of course.
I know that you are right, it is just so incredibly stupid.
I'm glad the adolescent Brave dismissal was near the top
The Tao Te Ching starts with this line, which I adore:

> The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao

“The Tao” here means “the rules / way to live your life”. Essentially, the point is that if you try to write down a set of complete rules for how to act - either in life generally or at work, well, that ain’t it.

This is always my problem with OKRs. They’ll always inevitably lead you away from what you actually should / need to do in a given moment if you were in tune with your wisdom. Instead of trying to codify what leaders do, we should practice staying present to what’s actually going on and practice wisdom - for whatever that means in the current context.
Well, that could go lots of ways. Maybe some rich trillionaire buys you and spawns you into an endless horror simulation. They might be into torture and get off on it.

Conversly, it may make some bomb-holders scrable to use their weapons as-intended - before they're rendered useless to them.

Lineage is as much standard android experience as you can get after market without any gaming/styling mods. If google was series about AOSP and sustainability they should embrace lineage and at least give a non-rooted lineage with a relocked bootloader on pixel phones a safety-net pass. Lineage has been very careful to not piss off google by not including microg or alternative webview signatures or means to circumvent device attestation. This love is not returned. If supported it would be a way also for other manufacturers to give their devices extended lifetime support (and allow bootloader relocking with lineage). Without safety net, people cannot use it for e.g. banking if they do not want to get into the cat and mouse game of magisk or trust shady indian enthusiast custom builds (like me because I am currently lazy/busy).

(I am writing this on a Redmi note 10 with lineage 21)

I can't address the primary concern here but the app I switched to for 2FA named 2FAS is able to back up all your codes in case the device gets affected. Either to Google account or a file.

Google Authenticator did not have this option until recently I believe.
I guess that does make some sense, if you use it for everything.

It is still useful for one other thing - looking up opening times for local businesses that may not have their own website. But at that point it's not the social network part that's doing it, it's serving more like a geocities page...

Wouldn't your water and food then become highly radioactive over time?

Even if no, it would mean your shield will be gradually consumed. Not sure this is the best idea.
This is the same argument as having a nuclear missile shield that is 100% effective.

If such a shield becomes operational, then there's no reason not to first strike anyone without such a shield, as there'd be no repercussions.

So, by that same logic, the opponent knows this, and thus, it's in their interest to first strike, before the shield becomes operational. So the MAD doctrine no longer applies, and we'd have destroyed the world.

Therefore, even starting to make such a technology will very quickly spiral the world into a nuclear appocalypse.
If you’re at a point where you would have your users pay for a 2FA app why don’t build your own (or build TOTP functionality into some existing app)? TOTP is very easy to implement yourself, it’s literally just a handful lines of code.
Wow super cool, didn't realize that was a possibility.

1000 TeV when we're currently at ~13 TeV seems like one problem. 1000km ring requiring ~10 Tesla powered magnets likely be another.

Those "technical difficulties" aside seems like aiming it would be a massive problem. Would need the beam to exit and that exit would have to be movable - realistically pointing "down". Not like you can take a beam like that and just turn corners, haha. That "2d" picture of it hitting through the earth is ms-paint level optimistic.

Would nuclear weapons be the only thing affected? Feels like it would be bad to be on the other end of this thing if the beam spread was too big.

The world outside of social media and the internet is not necessarily worse. I think it’s just these things that have brought out the worst in people and the world.

Sure, in some ways it brought people together. But I think the net result is worse and has divided people and the world, and monetized relationships.

I wish we would collectively realize this, and just abandon these apps, and go back to real life connections.

But it’s too late for that, I’m afraid. The world is already addicted.
This is a real mind boggling and amazing comment. Thank you.

I wonder how far you can take this argument.

Did we as humanity reach its peak a long time ago? When we were happy and had little and would live happy lives, die earlier but live healthier.
> if your fact were true, the universe would be a black hole

... maybe it is? Hear my pet theory out.

Extrapolating backwards from the expansion of our universe, the Big Bang model posits a hyperdense state that exceeds black hole levels originating from a singularity, yet it's thought that somehow it did not collapse back, handwaving it as "physics as we know it did not apply".

But maybe physics as we know it does apply. Notably physics as we know it does not imply a specific direction for the arrow of time.

So our universe might very well be a black hole, but we have time backwards compared to the usual way we think of black holes: what we think of as the origin of time and space is what we think of as the irremediable end of time and space in a black hole.
This is the wrong place to get something like this wrong.
Looks you could easily defend against this thing by storing nuclear warheads in an empty cavern, suspended by ropes in midair. Most of the heating isn't from neutrinos hitting the target, but hitting dense matter in a wide vicinity of the target, creating showers of secondary radiation. So creating a void around the target should give you many orders of magnitude of shielding.

Come to thing of it, orbital nuclear weapons would be pretty safe too?

I'm not a Zig programmer, but this framework seems pretty nice! Honestly, a lot nicer than I would've expected from a language that explicitly targets lower-level dev[1].
