I miss shift-insert/shift-delete. From the days when both hands were on the keyboard.

Your message contradicts itself. Firstly it says leap seconds should not be used (aka TAI). But at the last sentence it says "go with UTC" (which has leap seconds).

by deepsun 7mo ago
Timezones have nothing to do with UTC or unix time. Timezones only come into play when you convert between to other timezones.

Haifa study result was only possible with small enough fines. Larger fines would solve that easily.

Yes, agree. But I'm not sure direct air capture is more scalable than trees. Yes trees need to be moved, but at least they grow by themselves.

Well, most deforestation happens in poor underdeveloped countries. Yes, they hurt, but keep doing it.

Re carbon capture -- we can cut trees and dump them in "carbon storage" places like the bottom of some water bodies where due to lack of oxygen no rotting happens, like peats and e.g. Black Sea. And grow new trees in their place o

I hate my workstation desktop I assembled 15 years. It just doesn't break! I have no excuses to buy a new one (except for video card).

Yea, seen that too. But also seen good CEOs. Go for a smaller company, smaller companies are much more diverse (in both good and bad ways), and it's not hard to find a team with an awesome top management who does not want to screw anyo

Only some liabilities. Mainly debt -- so people would not be afraid to start businesses and borrow money. But if, say, an accountant produces an incorrect report -- they may personally go to jail. Or an HR or information security officer ca

A big part of my job is responsibility. When AI can go to jail instead of me, I would be happy to let it take my job :)

No, travel and information accessibility and crime rates benefited everyone.

Crime rates going down and down. Purchasing power grows everywhere in the world (but we want much nicer things now, so don't feel it). Travel is more accessible that it ever was in humanity history. Information keeps getting more and m

Shipbuilding in particular has negligible labour costs, even for rich countries. Cost to build a ship is about 80% materials costs.

Yes, but it's not that important. Any complex high-tech product requires suppliers from all over the world. For example, I bet the EU company depends on a lot of China companies critically. Just like any airliner is produced by pretty

Thank you. What about concrete pavements? I assume they can last longer, but I often see badly cracked concrete. Regular (expansion?) cracks also don't increase riding comfort.

I bet we're about to see reduction of online public communications. Count how many times you had a desire to share your knowledge or correct someone online (aka somebody is WRONG on the internet). People would stop doing that, just to

Even EV weight is tiny compared to haul trucks. Yes they have multiple axles (hence "18-wheelers"), but even then pressure on the road surface is much greater still.

by deepsun 8mo ago
I've heard that cars have negligible impact on roads. 99% damage comes from heavy haul trucks, especially those who violate weight restrictions. By the way, I've never seen SCALES OPEN sign for the trucks, it's always SCALES

As for the banks I doubt it decreases security. Even SMS 2FA actually reduces fraud by 90%+ percent. Yes, some banks implement it silly, like SVB requiring biometric login in order to scan one-time QR 2FA code from their app (biometric logi

But then millions of users would stay unprotected from password sealing (see https://haveibeenpwned.com/ ). They certainly did a proper thing forcing people to use 2FA AFTER multiple emails over the years recommending to tur

> many people know nothing about 2FA That's why Google sent them multiple emails explaining what it is and recommending to turn it on. What else could Google do?
414.
by deepsun 8mo ago
I'm sure Google prompted author for years begging to turn the 2FA on, as well as warning that they will enforce it on day X. Author ignored them all.

So Google can single-handedly break any domain? Sounds like total control of the Web.

> Fundamentally, this was google's fault Or yours, for not caring about 2FA. It's been a common practice for many years, and strongly recommended by most identity services, as well as OWASP and NIST recommendations. What would

I've read that the (first?) preemptive multi-tasking was implemented in Apollo lander, to leave more processing power to more critical sensors. No one though of it in such general terms though.

Yes, but the answer depends on the bug. 100% test coverage leads to brittle tests, when any change leads to many broken tests, and fixing them is like repeating the change multiple times.

Gold and USD is easily stolen, especially if stored in a bank. Prime real estate will find a new owner (e.g. the case I saw myself -- surprise, turns out the seller, even if's the government/municipality itself, did not have right

Did US have economic shocks? Compared to, say, Eastern Europe or Sub-Saharan Africa, all people who lived through real economic shocks and hyper-inflation tend to save less , not more. Because they know the savings can evaporate one day.
