I have google fi and I'm always a little low key worried that they'll block my account which will kill my phone/docs/drive/email all at once.

It also kinda sucks having google as your email and your phone when they want to use email to verify your account settings and you can't get into your account. This happened to my wife, and they essentially have no support on the fi side and the gmail side support isn't super helpful. She was eventually able to recover her gmail account and fix her fi activation but it a huge pain and took a couple of days.

Unpowered (e.g. kayaks) or sail powered vehicles have the right of way unless you're in a channel with restricted movement. But practically speaking, large vessels aren't all that agile and may have limited visibility so while the right of way would be great for your estate, it probably won't help you much if you get run over.
California Hits 'Historical' Renewable Energy Milestone
If nuclear was our only choice for zero-carbon energy, I would say that we should change the subsidies and prices to make it profitable, or at least at-cost.

The problem with nuclear isn't that it's at-cost, the problem is that construction projects balloon into financial disasters that are too risky. Check out what happened to France's Areva due to constructing the Olkiluoto. It is literally owned by the French government to bail it out from their financial disaster. Or what happened to Westinghouse and parent company Toshiba due to trying to construct AP1000s.

We have better alternatives that are cheaper and are not such massive single points of failure. Right now the US government is throwing money hand over fist at nuclear, and if the industry can make a go of it and manage to construct some more, great, I have no problem with that.

But nuclear is fundamentally inefficient, expensive, and bad source of power compared to the alternatives. It's always always overpromised and underdelivered. Seemingly nobody in the industry has every made an honest construction estimate. I mean, of course there were a few successful construction projects, but on average it's been a disaster. Throw another $100B at it, see if somebody finally figures it out after 70 years, but it seems pretty doubtful. Nobody left in the industry seems to be capable or smart enough to deliver.
Red teams do this sort of things all the time. How about you don't accept bribes? Arguably that's a bigger dick move.
Overbuild solar and have sufficient battery capacity is a much better solution.
The consequences of 2008 era (and generally the way of the current fiat system) are coming to roost.

Asset prices and investments in unproductive assets - such as real estate - is far too high for low price businesses to be sustainable.

There are only two ways out of this - taxing the rich more (more capital gains brackets) and banning corporate ownership of physical property until the prices of properties collapse to sustainable values.

Honestly even TOTP is negligent to support at this point.

TOTP is phishable, and the root secrets are stored in most TOTP apps (including Google Authenticator) in plan text, usually in SQLite, because almost no enclaves support the TOTP algorithm.

The only hardware devices that -do- support TOTP like Yubikeys or Nitrokeys also support WebAuthn in which case just use that.

A hard requirement of Virtual Passkeys and hardware WebAuthn devices should be a bare minimum for auth security in 2024.

Passwords and one time codes are phishable 90s solutions to the problem and it is nuts they still are so dominant.
I think 6979 is a bit of a red herring here. 6979 is about deterministic nonce generation, which is what you do to dodge the problem of having an insecure RNG. But the problem here isn't that the RNG is secure; it's more fundamentally a problem of not understanding what the rules of the nonce are.

But I may be hair-splitting. Like, yeah, they freelanced their own deterministic nonce generation. Either way, I think this code long predates 6979.

I watched a bit of that and a bit of the start of the biblical lectures (https://youtu.be/f-wWBGo6a2w)

The Some More News is a bit unfair in that he's going on about something he doesn't understand - climate science. Whereas on his home turf of the Bible he's pretty good.

I mean if you'd interviewed Einstein on say salsa dancing you might have thought he's an idiot. It's not a good way to judge.

Yes, and I use that to take pictures of features below my as we fly from one place to the other.

The price of electricity in CA is higher largely due to overhead, not input cost. (The price varies widely by the incumbent utility; PG&E is expensive, while Santa Clara power sitting right in the middle of their territory is 50% cheaper.)

And if we all paid for externalities, the cost of fossil fuels would be much higher than they are.
So you will diligently improve the relationship and get things cleaned up, maybe even get credit for it, but the incentive for the next person in your post will be to cash out that built-up equity by saying "yes" to everything again and then getting promoted for their amazing velocity, nevermind that the code is now goulash again. I guess this is the cycle of basically every organization in human history.

They don't care. Source: got swapped on TMo, front-line CSR fixed it but no one else at the business cared; would not even refund my final bill. Solution: move to Google Fi. It has a word-of-mouth reputation for being resistant to this, which I believe if nothing else because Google has almost no human support to bribe/phish.
The original link was from 2021, and not to nit-pick but the 2022 link is not electric-car specific, it was just a "Reduce power usage (which includes cars)" advisory notice.

Thanks but no thanks, the last thing I want is for Google to be in the chain for something as vital as banking. One false signal in Google's AI model and you're permanently fucked. Or someone compromising the email account (not just credential stuffing but e.g. cookie theft).

> Second, prefer TOTP as the MFA, not SMS.

People loathe app-based (or, even worse, RSA token-style) OTP, especially if they lose their phone or it becomes permanently damaged you're fucked unless you made a backup.

SMS in contrast? Even your 80 years old grandma can use that, and most common failure modes (i.e. stuff requiring support from you) are handled by the telco.
and if they thought you _would_ be able to pull it off in a couple of days, but it's more complicated than they thought and takes a couple of weeks, they'll accuse you of lying and pretending it was harder than it was.
Troubleshooting when you don't have enough experience to know what's relevant to share can go a lot faster in real time. Or also when you're pretty far off on what you thought was relevant. If both parties are inexperienced, it can be hard to form the right questions from both sides.

In general, open ended exploration can be hard by letter as well.

First Tech CU. Their physical locations are PNW only, but that hasn't stopped me from continuing to use them electronically on the east coast. They are also part of the CU alliance, so access to alliance branches and ATMs is possible (I've never had the need to test this).
I personally blame the rabid Libertarians that the other guy mentioned. Tons of people think that what GPS does is sends your location to the Air Force, which is a bit backwards (and doesn't pencil out in terms of either energy balance for the mobile station or channel capacity for the satellites). They think this because that's how people casually write about it (the FBI was tracking me over GPS, or whatever).
I find this subject very interesting because I’m bi, and in my case it was difficult to come out even though my entire family is supportive and progressive. If it’d been the 50s, I would never have done so. I think you’re missing the fact that societal support extends to familial support, and that the latter is very impactful to people.
You got some of those edgy papers near? I keep hearing things like this, but at every turn the science being published is hot trash.
Yes:

1. web apps don't need an expensive development environment. So you don't need to buy or rent a mac just to submit the app to apple

2. Tools are free, no 99$ fee for ji'ust the right to submit apps.

3. No person can reject your app because you violated an vague rule or are thrown out because apple provides an very similar app.
It's Insyde (they outsource firmware dev), so it's proprietary as of right now.

Happy to see progress here, but days like today seem like easy targets for meeting demand with renewables: Most of the state seems to be between 55-75°F (low demand), cloud cover seems light, and the days are reasonably long (high supply).

Again, progress is nice. But I'm still skeptical how well the state's grid can handle another major statewide heatwave, to say nothing about the transition to EVs.

It seems you are with rationalizing politics to decide the science, especially if you disagree with it; at least based on your points. Regarding 3) I did not attempt to make any larger point on climate science as such (only on climategate itself); These blatant statements simply unethical and unscientific attitudes of the leading manufactures of climate consent. These have well known context, and no need to re-interpret them.

If we stick to the climategate issue rather than commenting on our beliefs in validity of climate science as represented by the conclusions in the IPCC reports; again, these statements are standing on their own as a witness on the attitude of those authors which you cannot get from the sanitized wiki article.

Talking about it being the "mark of the beast" is a strawman. What you should talk about instead to win support among those same groups of people is to explain how it isn't/wouldn't be a means of government abuse.

It's not; anti-Semitism as we know today is very much rooted in racial science (well, "science") of the 19th century. Before that it was an anti-religious thing: anti-Judaism, which was a markedly different and similar to Anti-Catholicism, anti-Protestantism, and things like that.

Especially in the context of the Nazi ideology, this really matters. Recall that the Nazis killed more Slavs than Jews, who were also considered racially inferior, and the plan was to kill many more. Nazis treated the Danish, Dutch, French, English, etc. much better (no mass executions of prisoners of war, and the occupation of those countries was markedly different from the occupation of Slavic countries).
That's... not at all what that story was about. You're not even supposed to interpret that literally, he was talking about converting to Christianity and getting into heaven.
Sadly, this is only going to perpetuate some of the toxic gate-keeping patterns we've developed in the tech industry for interviews. Thumbnail image suggests that this excels at "trivia based," knowledge versus relevant and applied.

Ok, I honestly don't know—is there a way to use this to secure access to an account generally, without having access to the password? I.e. do authentication providers use phone as a sole method of identity verification for any major service?

Yes, SMS 2FA will fail against a sophisticated and targeted attack. It is still drastically better than NO second factor, which is the actual comparison in the real world. There are people without smartphones. There are people without the ability to install/use a TOTP app. My aunt can either use SMS 2FA or nothing. 2MS protects her pretty well against 95% of the types of attacks she's likely to face.
Most hospitals are unionized; at least on the West Coast.

Volunteer firefighters: some areas are full of people who don't want their taxes to go up to pay for a career department. Many areas are so sparsely populated they can't afford one even if willing. The amount of training and education required keeps going up, and not everyone has a job they can just walk off from to respond to calls on no notice. It's harder to effectively volunteer as a FF than it was even a few decades ago. Sometimes it's addressed by having formerly all volunteer or smaller combination career/volley departments be absorbed into a neighboring career department that can spread the cost out to a larger area. Sometimes egos win out and the ability to do the job suffers.
I read the day after the event about electrical issues on the ship before leaving port. Interesting that it's taken this long for that to become a subject of investigation.

> People largely assume, for instance, that heroes simply don't care so much about things like fair compensation for the work that they do.

And that assumption is true to some extent. People don't just slip and fall into a set of scrubs and become a nurse or medic. They choose that path based on an analysis (yes, the average person is capable of making reasoned decisions, although that's shocking to many). People have other options besides becoming "heroes" and yet, they choose it. Why?

This is that thing people do when they want to sound smart. Actually two things: (1) Don't address the claim, just call it wrong (2) overcomplicate your sentence with obscure words
> That’s totally fine, i am not against services requiring phone numbers during registration.

I am completely opposed to services having any PII (Personal Identifiable Information) beyond an email address because the dumbass services keep my PII and then lose it when they get hacked.

If I can go collect a million dollars from a company that loses my PII, I'd let them collect it. SInce I can't, my best option is to refuse.

If you want to verify, take a credit card number. At least I can cancel and change that when some dumbass get hacked and loses it.

Given all that we know now, Musk's concern for the environment seems a lot more like good marketing than a deeply held belief. A lot of what he says is nonsense but sounds neat, like pretending that we're close to building a Mars colony. Undermining public transit actively makes the world worse off, but helps him sell more cars.

How much of his immense wealth and power has he used to help the environment in ways that don't enrich himself?
Tesla and SpaceX were built off the backs of brilliant engineers; what Elon did was provide funding, both personally and through other investors, while being a brilliant marketer. Up until he went off the right-wing deep-end that was his forte. Just his hyping of autonomous driving and Tesla as an innovative tech company years ago pushed the company to being more valuable than the Big 3 and Toyota combined, which in retrospect is a bit absurd.
I'm curious though how much of the price we pay for power in CA is because of power generation, versus how much goes to power distribution infrastructure and maintenance.

The CPUC seems on course to a pricing change in CA which will see our price per kwh drop, but will introduce a new fixed fee just to be connected to the grid, under the claim that buildings which generally are powered by their own solar/batteries are not contributing to the cost of e.g. wildfire risk remediation and tree-trimming. But I haven't seen a clear analysis showing the breakdown of how much of costs go to proactive maintenance, vs generation, vs giant settlements for having burned whole towns, etc.

I'm pretty sure T-mobile could legally do that to their own employees. Corporate security teams are always sending fake phishing email to test their employees' gullibility and send them off to Re-education Camp.
Yeah but if you're not resorting to just hiring anyone off the street who can talk sales, you get less morons applying in the first place. Less morons, less people who might be willing to treat that "stand in a mall and upsell people" job like they'd do flipping burgers and snotting into the mayonaise, or who need some "side hustle" cash just to make rent.

Pay peanuts and everyone and their dog will apply, pay appropriately and you'll get higher quality applications that you can afford to actually vet.
