The issue here is interoperability.

PNR identifier and last name is the only reasonable key to use when a single PNR is meant to be shared among the GDS, the IT provider, the traveler and companions, hotels, car rentals companies, travel agencies and countless other players in the market (sometimes several of each at the same time).

But it's also true it relies on the traveler keeping the PNR reference secret.

Adding MFA would involve adding new segments to all sorts of EDI messages, more complex booking/ticketing/cancelling flows, and getting all those companies on the same page so shit works without impact.

It'd be possible and an impressive engineering effort, but also a royal PITA given all the moving parts in the travel industry.

The few times I had to cancel/rebook or similar I was next to the counter with my ID, but I can think that having people call you and/or send an email for you to click to confirm is easier and has less friction than revamping the whole GDS industry and their (ducks) legacy B2B interoperation.

Compare how many toxic practices there are in steam games with phone games and yeah, I massively prefer that over the app store monopoly.

App stores encourages shitty practices over healthy ecosystems, the model for computers has resulted in much better products with less consumer hostile practices.

Apple isn't an expert on games, they shouldn't decide what games to suggest and what games should be allowed on the phone, a dedicated game store would be a huge upgrade.

Edit: And no, phone games aren't consumer hostile because they are on phones, they are consumer hostile since the appstore encourages the games to be consumer hostile. You don't see many in-app purchases or ads in steam games since steam doesn't encourage those, while the appstore encourages it.

So you see phone games be shit because the appstore, do you really like phone games as they are or would you prefer them to be like steam? I don't think anyone prefers the phone game in-app purchase toxicity we have now.

Your surprise breaks my brain. Why would someone "keep it to themselves" outside some white paper they won't have time to promote or for a job interview that they might not need?

Is your thought that it is some novel approach that nobody is doing and has obvious market implications? Even then, the implications matter only if you are in a position to take advantage.

Apparently that's still controversial (I learned just now while trying to learn more about the breakup). However, it was easy to see cut lines in Standard Oil.

Breaking up (and privatising) the UK national rail network didn't work so well; a few years after it happened, the party who did it lost power, and had apparently forgotten they had even done this to the trains as they were running ads saying "you paid the taxes so where are the trains".

Apple's iPhone can clearly be split into "hardware" and "software" because Android QED; but that's not sufficient because the Play Store gets much the same criticism.

Likewise the App Store can obviously be split off, the technical issues are demonstrated by what already exists. But, the Samsung store isn't stopping the criticism of the Play Store, so alt stores are also not enough here for iOS either.

I would really love that to be possible. It is ultimately, I suspect, one of the Hard Problems of epistemology / epistemic systems.

Diverging slightly: truth is not a popularity contest. The "wisdom of crowds" concept argues that crowds are, on average, more intelligent than individuals, even expert individuals. In practice ... crowds are subject to their own biases and failures. While uninformed (or lightly-informed) opinion may be better than no opinion, expert opinion tends to be superior to both ... though of course it is also subject to biases (co-option of motives, ideological and academic conservativism, etc.). Still, there are times when the popular winner is quite evidently not the most informative or relevant winner. Reddit is especially subject to this (and more so in the past couple of years than previously based on my very rare sojourns there).

Ultimately the question of a rating / moderation / ranking system is what do you want to optimise for? I'd written on this about a decade back now:

<https://web.archive.org/web/20200629055317/https://www.reddi...>

LLM AI seems like it might offer either a way of weighting individual votes in their appropriate areas of expertise, or offering its own assessment of relevance based on specific criteria (say: truth valance, significance, novelty). I still suspect it's not the sort of thing that's easily obtained. And is probably beyond the scope of an HN search tool.

But I love the suggestion.

There is no difference to a .Add() function, that's true but even for strings you wouldn't have an Add function. It would be an Append() most likely which explains much more what is happening.

I don't much mind the populurization of these terms or making people think in more novel ways. Even if it's seen as BS by those more informed, I'm glad such books are written and communicators like Taleb exist. Without him, I wouldn't have discovered a bunch of tangential things. I will admit, it gives my brain a satisfying itch too, as I realise that academia is often just the refined encoding of pretty mundane everyday truths, so when someone is able to come in and re-extract that and share it widely, even with a bit of gentle-re-branding, I think it's still net-positive.

How do you build a BIOS successor that's not complicated, when it has to be able to reflash bios from a file on a fat32 partition on a usb stick, because all the other historical ways of reflashing bios were difficult and more fragile? How do you build a BIOS successor that's not complicated when it needs to allow an OS to alter boot settings for the next boot?

Granted, most of what goes on in a BIOS is displaying and changing variables involved in getting the system running, and maintaining those values, which just requires some sort of minimal editing interface and nv storage, but then... users appear. They want to be able to use a mouse. They want an ability to configure their raid chipset prior to boot, or netboot, and HW makers want to implement that in a way that's not some arcane raw assembly dance between BIOS and additional chip FW. What then?

I don't think the complaint is about complexity, but about code quality and architecture. This isn't the only case where an old, simpler but less capable and annoying, system has been replaced by a much more complex system that is much hated and [initially] buggy and less secure, but also more or less gets the job done better than the old way, and where average users of the new system find it easier and more productive.

If there wasn't a case where a hardware manufacturer needed a capability prior to the OS taking over, or to modify their HW settings from the OS in a portable way, it wouldn't be in UEFI, right?

Calling UEFI a full operating system seems needlessly inflammatory. It's not a linux or windows kernel. It has to do a fair amount of the basics, but so does any kernel running on a general purpose chip and interfacing with a bunch of other people's code. UEFI is terrible. Baseband firmwares are terrible. Security processor firmwares are terrible. AMT is terrible. Okay, but we still need them.

"India's antitrust body has ordered an unusual recall of reports of an investigation that found Apple breached competition laws, after the U.S. giant complained its commercial secrets were disclosed to opponents, including Tinder-owner Match."

Btw, I didn't know that "Apple's iOS (only) powered about 3.5% of India's 690 million smartphones."
> a simpler system (like per-app passwords) can make a system overall more secure because there will be less mistakes being made

But a mistake WILL be made, because humans are fallible, and mistakes with a long lived bearer token can be extremely damaging, and can remain latent for a long period of time (e.g., password accidentally saved on disk and "deleted").

With proper OAuth, a lot of mistakes can be practically harmless (e.g., access token accidentally saved somewhere).

I completely disagree. I have been successful in building a new project for my company with myself and the entire team being completely new to Go when we started. Did we have growing pains, and some sub-par decisions? Absolutely. Do we right better Go code today, 4 years later? Absolutely. Did this mean that the project was in any way significantly slowed down by our use of Go compared to the C# or Java we knew before after the first 1-2 months? No, not really. The ways in which Go fit better for our chosen domain completely made up for that (and this all despite my continued belief that Go as a language is inferior to Java and C#).

Now, there are other languages where I'm sure that we would have had significant issues if we tried to adopt them. In particular, switching from the GC languages we were used to to a native memory language like C++ or Rust or C would have surely been a much bigger problem. The same would have probably been true if we had switched to a dynamic language.

But generally, deep language proficiency has less value in my experience than general programming proficiency, and much less than relevant domain knowledge. I would hire a complete Go novice that had programmed in Python in our specific domain over someone who has worked in Go for a decade but has only passing domain knowledge any day.

> the USA is supposedly "the land of the free".

The more free private entities are from government oversight, the more carefully they have to read contracts. For example, even the US is not quite so free as to allow people to sell their organs. If it were, citizens would have to carefully read room rental contracts at hotels, to make sure there were no conditions which included forfeiture of a kidney.

(FWIW, I'm now living in Germany, and it's significantly more relaxing with a bit less freedom. There's definitely different tradeoffs which make more sense for different people).

Depends on what your goal is. If your primary purpose for learning python is to be able to use numpy and pandas, then you should probably start learning them from day 1. Learning how to inefficiently implement parts of pandas in pure python on an ad-hoc basis is a waste of time for most people compared to just spending that time learning how to efficiently use pandas.
