Question: has anybody actually worked in a password-less or even “zero trust” environment?

Most environments I have worked with struggle with sharing passwords like OP and it’s a massive pain. One time, dev team was sharing active directory credentials to access service. At some point service account gets locked because someone was using an older password of the account.

Usually a quick problem to solve with 2-3 people in same region (or prevented entirely), but teams across time zones and countries (US vs Vietnam or India). It becomes painful. Doesn’t matter if they are “senior” or green/“junior” engineers.

If I ever have my own company, I want my own internal IdP (identity provider) and all internal and external services integrated with it. Employees issued (multiple) physical hardware keys. This is required to authenticate with work computer and subsequent access to VPN/tail scale.

Individual services and products must support oauth.

Access to public cloud resources? AuthN through company IdP. Admin creates roles for you to access resources necessary for work

Access to database? No shared passwords. get admin to add authorization, then authN via IdP and get access token

Version control? Same as above.

E-mail? Same as above.

Company document repository? AuthN through IdP which requires physical security key.

Access to company laptop/desktop? Plug-in security key. Permissions/roles managed remotely (give bob sys access for dev work but jenny from HR is given very basic system access).

Then once you are done, then remove security key and all established sessions are removed and logged out of computer (or just locked).

Employee leaves? Just disable the account. Maybe leave a small window of access to certain services (ie, email) so they could say their goodbyes, turn in company equipment. Then revoke access completely.

Hostile or state actor obtained security key of active employee? From IdP, mass revoke all access. Can also track what actor accessed as well.

With this, problem OP has proposed has disappeared completely.
The lawmakers decide. As I quoted, "the Law determines the limits of a freedom."
I think this is one of those cases where there's really very little way of knowing what really worked and what didn't. It's like a sports team: you can make ALL the right managerial choices, but still fail due to chance and factors outside your control.

At best there are some reasonably good heuristics.
Having inputs look consistent between applications is a core plank of usability. Rolling your own custom widgets is just spending a lot of time and effort making the UI worse.
You know what they've said for millennia: "Vae victis"!
I’m reading some more and the election interference happened under Jack Dorsey‘s Twitter not Elon Musk’s X. The Twitter employees involved were fired in the purge after Musk bought and assumed control of the website.
Part of the problem is a poor (or insufficiently DWIM) implementation of rich text copy-paste. If I copy text that has some parts bolded or italicised, that is indeed "the damn text I copied". But the fact that the source website happens to be 12pt blue Verdana should not override the fact that I'm writing an email in 11pt black Arial.

In many cases I do not particularly care whether an email is in 12pt blue Verdana or 11pt black Arial, I absolutely care about there suddenly being a big blue word in the middle of my otherwise-consistent paragraph.

So neither "rich text" nor "plain text" are really correct: often plain text is good enough, but sometimes it's easier to correct the rich text.
The main issue with powerful tools is that they get used against you by threat actors.

Our society sets limits based on the most selfish. Our computers get limitations based on the most effective threat.
ESP32 only supports up to 4MB of PSRAM while a single RPi HQ Camera still is 18MB.
> We can take a digital identity card and prove that we are over 18 years old
> Without revealing anything else, like your full name or address

If you are in this articles audience you would simply state the producer of the ID card signs a statement that the person is over 18. No ZKP needed.

The article like many others would be improved with a better example.
More like limiting the obvious catastrophic effects of wealth (aka power) disparity. People here seem to align on its existence being a moral hazard. Hard to argue against when the poor are still getting their water supply poisoned in developed countries.
They are not operating from the full DNA, but "enough DNA to piece together functional genomes."

However, even if we had pristine copies of mammoth DNA we could not re-create a mammoth.

Complex organisms like mammoths (or humans) are not fully defined by DNA. They are an ecosystem of bacteria and smaller organisms. We don't know the number for mammoths, but about 40% of the cells in the human body are not human. They don't have our DNA. Without them, however, we could not even process food. We get those organisms, not from DNA, but from other humans and the environment around us.

These scientists may be able to create something, and hopefully something that will not suffer horribly, but de-extinction is not nearing realty.
I used to hop on walls and doors when I was 13 running around. But this guy was in his 20s or 30s and did not expect to see me draw on him.

They leave trash in the hallways or smoke in the corridors. When you’re on vacation people act a little more free spirited.
I’d love to see the numbers on this. I suspect that the middle class families buying a rental to Airbnb are largely inconsequential to the housing crisis compared to the corporations buying thousands of homes to cash in on rent for the rest of eternity.
I use a similar flow with the technical team to avoid unencrypted credentials in SCM. The vault (or other secrets) are encrypted with a common passphrase and then only this passphrase is whats encrypted with GPG for multiple recipients.
Well, compromise is the hypotenuse of the conjoined triangles of success!
ZKPs are used for private balances in Solana. Someone can send you a million PYUSD using confidential transfers and your public balance remains 100 dollars.
It seems as though Albert Cory thinks that Gen Z is incapable of cruelty because he has not been exposed to the extremely deft mockery they would heap upon him if they had any idea who he was
Yeah, all of whom have their names in their usernames or their profiles.
I'm sure you mean well, but this is exactly the the non-founder response I'm talking about. And maybe things were different 20 years ago, I don't know.

There's always something better I could have done as the person in charge, obviously. I've done a lot of reflection and self-critique, please believe me, and I realized I've made a lot of mistakes, from which the situations could have been recovered though.

Putting my faith in employees, expecting them to do maybe 80-90% of what I was doing as an employee 10 years earlier created an almost unrecoverable situation, that burned the entire runway to unscramble. Yet if I say that my biggest lesson was never to put trust in employees, as it's most likely impossible to create a good incentive system for them, most people won't believe me, as I'm sure you won't either.

I've come to think that the burden is no longer on anyone to create incentive systems, it's on society to reintroduce some morality. Only a limited amount of businesses have the luxury of aligned incentives.
Brazilian here. I can translate and attempt to provide context but I do not have access to twitter.com. Would you mind hosting a copy of the content on a different domain?

I managed to get it archived: https://archive.ph/2YJI1

I can make out some of the names but the full image is unavailable. I'll make further edits to this post with more details.

> Ednardo D'Ávila Mello Raposo

YouTuber and Bolsonaro supporter, apparently. It's unclear to me what exactly got this guy into this list.

> Claudio Rogasane da Luz

I have no idea who this person is and searching for his name didn't even yield exact matches.

> Josias Pereira Lima

Seems to be another YouTuber. Also not clear to me what exactly got him into this list.

> Marcos Ribeiro do Val

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcos_do_Val

A senator who had some kind of spat with one supreme court judge as well as some kind of involvement in the January 8th protest.

> Paola da Silva Daniel

Wife of Daniel Silveira, another politician.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Silveira

This guy actually wanted Bolsonaro to close down the supreme court if they didn't implement an auditable paper trail in the voting machines. No doubt they're after him because of that.

They're after his wife because apparently she posted one of his videos.

> Sandra Mara Volf Pedro Eustaquio

> Mariana Volf Pedro Eustáquio

The mother of a 16 year old girl, and the 16 year old girl herself. According to news, the women had their electronics and passports seized and were prohibited from directly or indirectly posting on social media, on pain of imprisonment and the omnipresent 10kUSD/day fine.

Apparently the husband/father Oswaldo Eustáquio is a blogger and Bolsonaro supporter who participated in the January 8th protest and later fled to Spain. Judge said they were helping him escape justice.

Oh, because we can link this in with biometric responses - heartrate, temperature, eye tracking etc.

We could build a 'game' which would learn and adapt to precisely the chemistry that makes someone tick and then provide them a map to find the state in which their brain releases their desired state.

Then if the game has a directive - it should be pointed to work as a training tool to allow the user to determine how to release these chemicals themselves at will. Resulting in a player-base which no longer requires anything external for accessing their own desired states.

After that I wonder why people think Python is a good choice to teach as a first experience in programming. Virtual environments is actually my biggest gripe with Python.

I think it is interesting to consider why Python is so popular despite such fiascos. The answers can be very informative but can also be giant red flags.
What sort of hardware would you recommend for this use case?
Despite how large vehicles are getting, people don't seem to want to have other passengers in them. Single-occupant vehicles account for something like 75% of daily commuters. Between safety concerns, sedentary lifestyles, road congestion, and the loneliness epidemic, you'd think there would be a push to reduce that number.

Do the patients have to pay in that case?

Like is Acadia really going to sue so they can have the insurance company and the patient testify under oath that Acadia management is guilty of kidnapping at scale, and in this particular case?
Doesn't the camera have it's own framebuffer that the MCU can stream? I don't see why the MCU would have to hold the whole frame in memory.
I think the goal of this is that you can prove, so that your counter party does not need to rely on trust
This setup strongly describes how the process was inside Amazon.
> Just kidding. We've never read "War and Peace" in any form.

That’s a pity. War and Peace is a fantastically good novel, genuinely a page-turner in places.
The "harm" is in relation to other people's constitutional freedoms and rights. Freedom of speech isn't inherently superior to, say, freedom of assembly, freedom of belief, the right to safety in one's person and one's properties, the right to vote, and so on...

It's a question of value: either you think Freedom of Speech is the highest form of freedom and right that one can hold, and all the other freedoms must come second, or that all freedom and rights are equal, and the role of the Constitution and the law is to find a balance between those.
Both the video clip and the guy's personal experience at Netflix were Hilarious. And have gone through this too (as most of us have).

Yeah, typical corporate development, where often the smallest of changes can be a nightmare:)
I'm expected to clean my recyclables? Exhibit A of ridiculously annoying tasks that could (should) be delegated to a recycling facility.
Tires are just one of the many things that have gone nowhere. There has to be a better way.
You should partner with the folks behind https://lovedbycreators.com/revidAI.

It seems like both of your products would complement each other
Because the identical logic works when used on athletes and musicians. You're just being obtuse and refusing to recognize it. I don't know if you get off on feeling superior to people who aren't developers, but I think it's weird you're trying to argue this angle so hard.

In all these professions, and many more, we're expected to maintain a certain level of performance (or capacity for performance) whether we're officially given the time for it at work and whether we're paid for it or not.

I also don't see how you can possibly in good faith compare "public performance" to whatever you think the equivalent "performance" is as a developer.

It sounds disrespectful and unnecessary, honestly.
This is simply a case of "How good do you need/want to be?"

This is everywhere. Humans can get remarkably competent at lots of things with a small investment of time (100 hours or so) and some intermittent practice.

The problem is that reaching the next layer almost always takes a big jump in time commitment. Want to be better at that foreign language? Yeah, 1000+ hours of practice and memorization incoming. Want to play something on guitar other than Wonderwall? Yeah, 1000+ hours of scales and metronome work. Want to win more at Chess. Yep, 1000+ hours of tactics along with some basic opening memorization.
Yes, how to let go of people quickly who aren’t working out. Firing people always sucks, and many managers avoid it for too long, to the detriment of the company and the other employees.
I heard about this recently but I can't remember where. Was the topic of this tea test on a podcast or something recently?
There's gotta be something else to it besides being a founder. Musk exhibits "founder mode" in his leadership style for companies that he didn't found. Maybe "owner mode" where the concept of the company's long-term success is married to your concept of yourself as an individual.
Plausible deniability? I feel like sending a literal rock puts a banner on it for being a scam but something that looks like the chip although doesn't function leaves lots of room to argue & misdirect: the issue is elsewhere with the receiver's computer setup, it was installed incorrectly, a legitimate CPU was sent but was damaged in transit or by the user and has no warranty, etc.

The vast majority of buyers do not have the ability to open up the CPU and tell what they're looking at. OLX presumably does not want outright scams but also doesn't want to put any effort into warranty, returns, customer service, etc. You mostly just have to make it murky enough I would guess.
I use mise for version and virtualenv. It works.
Most people are scaling down to zero (which is cheaper than $4/month last time I checked).
So why would a site with 0 users be able to succeed where reddit, with tens of millions, fails?

Is it possible you were looking at the wrong subreddits or that people just don't generally want this on the internet anymore?

Social media is the hardest thing to build, which is why only three companies (out of possibly hundreds of thousands) have made it sustainably profitable.
I frankly don't know why people keep using Airbnb now. It's costly, and the service is worse than a hotel. My worst vacations have happened in Airbnbs. Even for group vacations with friends, we now choose hotels. The good Airbnbs seem to be only the luxury or high-end types, suitable for very high-income or rich people.
“I do understand the basic principle of ZKPs, but as yet I’m failing to understand…”

Sounds you indeed have zero knowledge of zero-knowledge proofs. Congratulations!

If you want, I could prove to you that I know what zero-knowledge proofs are and how they’d be applied in industry, but you’d be no closer to understanding it. I would do it in a specific way that would basically impart zero knowledge to you, beyond the fact that I know what I’m talking about. Interested? :)
"Programming accent", that's a cool concept.

I think you get your "programming accent" during your first real work experience or major project
rather than the learning phase at uni.

It tends to mimic the "accent" of the most experienced programmer on your team.
What I do on every dev machine is build Python from source and install it to ~/.localpython and put it in my path.

Then I can pip install away care-free, and quickly run scripts / repls without having to activate an environment.
Anecdotally, I can say in Florida it’s people renting them out and not living in them. The locals are priced out.

I can afford it, but non tech/banking (the normal people) have moved inland to much worse spots. I only have 2 live-in neighbors on my floor of 8 units; the rest is Airbnb/Some guy who bought the unit to ‘invest’.

I talk with the owners because they occasionally need my physical presence to do something. But all these units would have been families - like they were in the early 2010s.
Not every day I see a place on the Colorado Plateau in an HN post! I live in the SF Bay Area but am from Flagstaff!
There's tons of "pirate" version of the pdf specification, especially on Annas. Hopefully this can help someone implement the driver.
Apologies, I meant a vacuum tube:

Are there automatic looms the way there are CNC machines so that you can get a custom design on?
A) Yes, it is minified. I don't think you know what minified means or why people do it.

B) Unminified code would be a smell, but regardless, frontend code isn't usually much of a smell regardless of what it looks like.
There are many long-life, reusable materials besides plastics.
I think docker would be a much better alternative. You can just hand students a pre-built docker with everything installed and they are free to mess up the system without any consequences.

$4/month for smallest VPS vs the burdensome $0 for first million requests? The author's framing is non-sense.
No, I am not saying anything like that. I think we must be talking past eachother here.
I know my comment will sound too cynical or not well-received in a startup incubator forum. However, what I observed in common with the founders of the B2B startups I worked on was good networking.

The board members and initial contacts have much to do with the initial clients and the network effect it creates. It doesn’t matter if you have an excellent product. Without the initial boost of early adopters, you’ll struggle to survive. That’s why many founders go to SV or well-known startup incubators: the networking it creates is priceless. Of course, you’ll need to create a valuable product -and that’s the problem of many opportunistic startups leveraging current trends. Many startup pieces of advice I read seem to ignore the fact that you need money and contacts to have visibility in the right places (SV, elite university/circle).

While Paul Graham is a legend and I look forward to learning from his experiences, I believe that people in a position of privilege tend to overlook the advantages that come with their position.

For example, it is true that Steve Jobs started in a garage. However, both Apple founders were living in the epicenter of computing companies at the time. They both worked at HP and had contacts with people at Stanford. If you had built a personal computer in a garage in Latin America at that time, it would have been like a tree falling in the middle of nowhere.
The only thing wrong with all three things you mentioned is that they're proprietary. Google is not holding the web hostage with W3C standards.
A friend of mine was on screwed in the other direction here in California.

When stable, they signed over the right to commit them to me, their doctor, their spouse and their parents.

We all attempted to get care for the person during a psychotic break (including talking about plans to shoot up a religious gathering - the police wouldn’t do anything even after that).

As a result, they lost their job, marriage, apartment, possessions, life savings, and ended up $100K in debt.

The insurance company didn’t pay a dime when they finally got help, since coverage had already lapsed.

I can’t believe how broken healthcare is in the US.
The host of PBS Space Time, Dr. Matt O'dowd, seems to be pretty unbiased.
Power is really one of the weaknesses of the rpi family (I'm quite excited for the new pico 2 for exactly this reason - it seems like they're finally making it easy to enter a relatively deep sleep without external hardware).

I built some cameras for an application like this using a Google Coral mini, whose camera is not nearly as good as the HQ cam, unfortunately, but it supports a built in suspend + wake from onboard RTC that is very easy to use and perfect for a periodic camera app - while still having enough oomph and 2GB of memory to handle a high resolution image. (You can physically hook an HQ camera up but the software pipeline doesn't exist to manage it on the coral AFAIK.)

The Rpi ecosystem is a lot more mature and (sorry, friends) I trust the future availability of rpi more than I trust Google to keep delivering the coral line, but it really underscored how helpful good power support in the hw was.

(Ironically, we ended up outsourcing the next version of these cameras to a firm that built them using an rpi and we just threw in a much larger battery to compensate. Which means I have a stack of 100 unopened coral dev minis + cameras looking for either good ideas or to sell to someone. Oops.)
If you have determined you already know what is good for society, you should campaign to be the global dictator. Like seriously by your logic a person in power can decide they know "what is good for society" and ignore all rules/laws anything and gave them any power they need. And before you say "Court interprets the constitution" by that absurd logic the court can say the Constitution made them supreme monarchs and you will defend it. The other commenter is making valid points and answering your queries in good faith, and you are engaging in void bad faith arguments.

By your absurd logic, "good of society" is supreme and some judge knows it best, why on earth hold elections? Why not let the judge anoint himself or his cronies for "the greater good"?
Correction: I went back and looked at the book and it does not mention expect. According to Wikipedia expect was first released the following year, in 1990. Apologies for the inadvertence.

Nevethless I think it is safe to say that expect was not written using or for Linux as Linux was not released until 1991.
Unfortunately, some services don’t allow this.
I had a dual Pentium II board (made by Tyan, with an Adaptec Raid Option slot) but I don't recall ever seeing a dual P54C board. Did a mainstream motherboard maker ever release one, to your knowledge?
whats wrong with a language that has only one VM? Do we really need 5 VMs?
Healthcare is at least somewhat similar to sports and music, in the sense of performing complex tasks under tight time constraints. Certain aspects of healthcare have been automated but it's still mostly humans performing hands-on procedures.
