Yeah, but say I am an attacker doing some kind of brute force password hack, and I have a certain number of successes. Given the funnel there, it might well be worth it for me to put some energy into figuring out who the person at the other

But isn't it the case that most sites will tell you if you pass a password check before hitting you with a SMS verification? In that case I could see someone attempting a sim swap attack for accounts where they pass a password check fo

Well, for the most part you agreed to your employer's stock plan when you were granted options, and so you are subject to whatever is in there but there isn't a lot you can do about that since you would have already signed it a wh

I don't think founders typically get liquidation preference like VCs do, but correct me please if I'm wrong.

I read HN almost daily and comment here often, but I don't like the name. I wish they'd chosen to call it something more like "startup news" instead, as that feels like a more accurate representation of the site and its

Question for everyone ITT: what would you use as an alternative to Helm for parameterizing kubernetes manifests? Also, how do you handle the secrets that need to go in the yaml? Previosly I used Terraform for this but am starting a new proj

I wasn't referring specifically to rolling vs fixed release distros, and more just generally about the state of Nvidia's drivers on Wayland. Most distros still fallback to X11 with Nvidia because the Nvidia+Wayland still feels ver

What is your solution here? Are you using a project-specific flake? Do you still install packages with pip?

My personal UI preferences aside, one place where KDE is ahead of Gnome right now that matters a great deal to me is support for fractional scaling, especially supporting different scaling factors one different displays (laptop vs monitor).

Has this ever happened? I know that in the US at least we say that "you can sue anyone for anything," but it seems a stretch to think that a company could face legal liability for disclosing internally that someone was let go.

Right. I think they just want to avoid being on the front-page of startup news sites with a headline like "<company> lays off <n>% of workforce," so they don't call it a layoff and try to keep a lid on how many pe

What comes to mind are the Office subscription prompts that come up frequently with updates and the OneDrive, basically, ad that is in the settings app. I think there are others, but I believe I've figured out how to turn most of it of

Yeah, I'll probably wind up with Vivaldi or something else I'm not thinking of now. Opera maybe? Brave seems fine as well.

I do think that happened to me at least once. I was happily using Kagi as my default search engine, and then after a restart suddenly I was using Bing.

I've been trying Edge lately because I wanted to see if its "efficiency mode" would produce any noticeable difference in the battery life I experienced on my laptop. They've really made it almost impossible to use as a p

That being said, there are a great many apps with support for kanban-style boards that one could use before resorting to jira. Notion, for example, can do it.

I suspect this has a lot more to do with interest rates than anything else, and as painful as everything is right now, I wouldn't make any firm conclusions about the future of our industry until rates have come back down.

I don't really see this as particularly interesting. Doesn't mean they know anything the rest of us don't. They just want to capture as much of the early action as possible in the event that SEC does provide approval. If that
