Not entirely. If I MITM your connection to a website that uses a password, I have access until the breach is detected. If I MITM a public/private key log in, I only have access to the session (which can be made arbitrarily short if log

This is a particularly weak set of arguments: Canada and the Southern US have many _other_ core differences that could explain their different outcome, and so do African Americans and Africans (neither of which are homogeneous by the way, a

I don’t disagree that reparations is more than monetary, but it certainly includes monetary compensation and therefore it’s worth discussing. The dilemma you described (using stolen goods to do otherwise good deeds) boils down to whether yo

I agree, and it seems like most commenters (so far) seem not to have read the “takedown”. What the author mostly criticizes is that the NYT is not providing enough evidence, not that things are clearly wrong.

I don’t think it would preclude supporting reparations. If I burn down your home, I don’t benefit from it but I still owe you compensation. (There’s also the fact that, in the US, it’s possible the country as a whole suffered from slavery b

Presumably the same way you’d overconsume public transportation according to OP: staying too long, crowding out other users that want/need to use public goods more than you.

English is somewhat better than Chinese because it’s easier to learn and has more total speakers, but 1.4 billion people is still pretty far from 7+ billion people. Choosing to only offer something in English _and_ make it difficult or impo

There are many free goods people don’t seem to (usually) overconsume. Primary school is free, libraries are free, parks are free, etc. To know whether public transportation is more like free libraries or more like free parking, you have to

Public transit will always be able to fit more people per space taken (in use and otherwise), so any problem with being packed like sardines will be multiplied tenfold in autonomous EVs. It’s 100% possible to run service often enough that p

I’ve just tested what you suggest with a page that contains 20 books (no HTML or JS minification, and probably some typos because I didn’t run it). https://pastebin.com/8CM1eUKQ the HTML version https://pastebin.

The problem isn’t so much the total number of cars overall (although that’s a problem) but the number of cars _in use_ at any one time. It’s not really solvable to have individual cars once you reach a certain density, you simply don’t have

Yes and no. They are very convenient in most of the built environment we have in the US (I’d go further and say they’re _necessary_). But we can also build environments where they’re not needed, or even a nuisance for the owner. There’s a r

They are definitely rare, but once they exist they can spread like wildfire because people (usually correctly) trust browsers to sandbox websites. Put another way, browsers run untrusted programs day in and day out on virtually all sorts of

This is wrong because you’re not considering the whole picture: - to turn the JSON into HTML, you not only need the template you mentioned, you also need code to execute that template (potentially lots of it); preact is 10KB ungzipped (othe

It changes the overall picture because HTML compresses better than JSON, which itself compresses better than your deduped arrays (because of the duplication you’re trying to avoid). So the HTML would be closer in byte size to the most compr

If your SSH key is encrypted, it’s 2FA. Either way, it’s not phishable (unlike passwords) so it’s way safer.

by potatoz2 4y ago
I don’t believe this 2FA announcement applies to SSH access. The public key you use is already 2FA enabled, in a sense (the key is what you have, the password to unlock it what you know). This applies to logging in to the GitHub Web applica

I don’t think it’s true for the hardware token. The initial registration sends information about the token to the website (but the website can tell the browser it doesn’t need it, IIRC).

In my mind the risk is to be heavily concentrated in tech (or even in a subspecialty of tech). Investing in diversified stocks is somewhat risky, but way less than putting all your eggs into the basket "tech jobs will always pay me $20

That's possible, but isn't that true in France (and presumably other countries) as well and relatively reasonable? "Bad words" have more impact and power, by design. If I publish a public video where I say that "M.

If you generate types from your GraphQL queries, they are validated against the schema at that time (so you'd get schema errors then, of course there can still be network errors, server errors or user/semantic errors at runtime)
