I think this logic is flawed. Oil, coal, gas, hydro, etc inflict casualties gradually and predictably. They are, generally speaking, not capable of the sudden region-wide catastrophic disasters that nuclear power is capable of. Those are ra

I wish you were right, but unfortunately it is a real thing: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/us/texas-abortion-h... Their websites literally call themselves "[Location] Women's Clinic"

If you consider that anti-abortion groups have gone to the extreme effort of creating fake abortion clinics in order to ensnare unwitting women to divulge information about pregnancies they intend to terminate, then how is it "fear mon

I came here to say exactly the same thing. Development always begets more development. The rural wilderness that I grew up in is completely unrecognizable today. Acres and acres of essentially untouched forest now replaced with human hous

Is this sarcasm? Is there a single example in the history of mankind where mass human development has not led to the significant decline of plant and animal species in the surrounding areas? If you accept that the diversity and abundance of

I don't think that's true at all. Do you have data to support it? Everything I've seen indicates that most large cities do have a significant percentage of vacant land ( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/ab

It doesn't sound like you're familiar with the area. Seattle is geographically constrained and there was already no empty land available for development in 2010 when the latest surge of new residents began. We can only accommodate

by EB66 4y ago
You're looking at numbers for the Seattle metro area. The story with the city itself is different. The population went from 608k in 2010 to 737k in 2020. That's a huge jump for a city that's geographically constrained and alr

Of course they're not the only issue -- no one's arguing that. What we're talking about is the negative reaction from other Seattlites to highly paid newcomers who complain about the weather and high prices.

by EB66 4y ago
The problem in Seattle is that it's been flooded by highly paid tech workers. Our population has exploded in the past decade (over 21% increase). The city council has pushed through tons of rezoning and construction has been faster her

I don't see what's so confusing. Unfortunately, it seems like a pretty predictable and rational response to me. All of the high prices in Seattle have been caused by the whopping 21%+ increase in city population (!!!) over the pas

Some of the major criticisms most frequently leveled at PHP relate it's convoluted history, the random ad hoc nature of their built-in functions, the inability to enforce types, overly flexible/dynamic, etc all of which can contri

I'm very glad to see the SIX getting some attention on HN. I have a lot of respect for how that IXP is operated -- Chris Caputo runs a tight ship. Their one-time fee structure is very friendly to small participants and very unique

Starlink has BGP sessions with the SIX route servers so from that alone you know they peer broadly on the exchange.

I was very happy when they released the max battery charge BIOS enhancement so quickly. A very positive sign for future development. It was the most requested feature on the Framework community boards and they delivered it in a matter of mo

People are buying it... so much so that Framework has been struggling to keep up with the demand. All of their early batches sold out well in advance. I placed my order two months ago and it was backordered for a month. Batch 6 (the current

Whether it's a niche product or not is beside the point. The point is that a small entity can build a device that is arguably better designed, better reviewed, affordable and readily available for purchase.
51.
by EB66 5y ago
True, but is that relevant? All companies, big and small, depend on all manner of services, materials, infrastructure, etc that are provided by other entities.
52.
by EB66 5y ago
Have you tried the Framework Laptop? It's a great example of how small start-ups can build better devices than the giants. Difficult, yes -- impossible, no.

Is anyone else seeing knock-on effects at the other major public DNS providers? I'm seeing nslookups sent to 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 intermittently timeout if the hostname does not belong to a major website. CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1) doesn&

That additional information would vary, but you basically would follow the same process for someone who loses their device (and along with it their TOTP authenticator app). You might send them a SMS code, require them to call in, etc. Basic

If the user gets a new device then with this approach they would have to re-enroll in MFA.

by EB66 5y ago
It'd be the same process that you have to follow if you lost your phone and, along with it, all the TOTP seeds that were stored in your Google Authenticator. You'd have to go through whatever process the company requires to confir

by EB66 5y ago
True, you can't generate a QR code without transmitting the TOTP secret/seed in some fashion, but it's a one-time event that's typically done over HTTPS like you suggested.

by EB66 5y ago
They would have to re-enroll in MFA, but that's the same thing that happens today if someone uses Google Authenticator and gets a new phone (or uninstalls Google Authenticator).
59.
by EB66 5y ago
I suppose that could work, but one potential advantage of TOTP is that the secret/seed used to generate the 6 digit codes is never transmitted and not at risk of being intercepted. It's also probably more user-friendly to put a TO

> I guess the other challenge is if you have to do a (full) app reinstall Yeah, that's true, if the user does a full app removal and re-install then they would need to re-enroll in MFA. But for app updates they'd be ok. > T
