It might be that if someone has a hardware key which makes a sufficient attestation, you disable some OTHER supplemental authentication mechanism; like, if it says it requires a biometric, then you could allow auto-login in a context where

Ideally there would be a way to create "tickets" or something from an authenticator in advance and then use them for registration without physical access to the device. Then I could have 100 tickets from my backup on my master, k

I'd be fine in steady state generally, but the "shift work" issue would make travel a pain (I often get 0200-0500 flights, etc.). I'd be wrecked for a week due to withdrawal headaches, though.

I try to do voice-only calls wherever possible, especially for hiring. (and text > voice!). Especially for initial screening; less annoying as the hiring manager, and also protects us somewhat from some discrimination claims (obviously o

People have tried this so many times and it always fails. It's a huge issue for going to/from Puerto Rico, due to 1) weather 2) shitty ground services 3) no land connection. My friend has planes and one of them will be part 135

Most of the age discrimination I've ever seen has been anti-Boomerism, not specific fixed ages. i.e. it was "people over 30-40" 20 years ago, and now is basically mainly against people in their 60s+. I've never (as far

It's pretty amazing how useful working with the military has been in changing my views of a lot of groups/demographics. I probably would have assumed nurses = female almost entirely, but there were a lot of nurses who were male, b

You are using a third party to perform an action which at core is counter to how the Internet works, AND you are using the same third party who has acted in bad faith before and did exactly the same thing to another victim of yours, and now

Wow. I'm actively in the market for this service for something but will never do business with HackerRank, as they continued to use the same horrible abusive DMCA agent after they did this back in January. Once is "we made a bad c

I think for most people on HN the answer is "contact a friend who works at Google"; I don't know the general solution.

There's unusable for production (easy; just deleting software or configs would do that for a while!). There's "unusable for extracting information to re-create the tech" which is a bit harder.

This seems like a win/win. If Elon takes over Twitter and fixes it, we get free speech there (plus, product innovation!). If Elon is rejected, battle lines clearly drawn and hopefully many alternative platforms (innovating on product a

I'd be amazed if there wasn't already a remote way to do this preconfigured. Getting advanced machines to destroy themselves through intentionally bad settings doesn't seem very difficult. Another option would be just embargo

I doubt cats have a substantially harder time surviving g-forces than humans. Smaller animal should be less affected; plus, commercial manned launch g-forces are going to be pretty low peak anyway. Maybe 4G?

My plan is to go to Mars with the first domestic pet cat; it implies a level of civilization/comfort/safety (to be able to have pets) which is consistent with what I'd want myself. Maybe 10k people? 50k? Hopefully I live th

This remains my favorite forum on the Internet without customizing things. Curated set of twitter or fb or other friends are pretty good too, but the new user experience without customization here is amazing.

Duracell used to be really good about replacing devices if their batteries leaked. They screwed me a couple years ago and refused to replace something (a $50 apple keyboard, I think they gave me $10 for it?). I went from buying exclusively

This sounds like some kind of incarceration or at best day care program, rather than actual learning. Unclear if that is the baseline for schools vs something specific to a Covid surge. I don’t have children but if I were to do so I don’t

Every time I buy the LG 5K I feel a little sad (it's overpriced for what it is, outdated, and limited with non-Macs), but every time I use it, I'm happy with the purchase. Biggest downside (aside from the price) is extending the A

This looks pretty cool (particularly that it's easy to use). If you're already using AWS you could just use nitro enclaves to do this directly, but this makes it easier to use, and easier to use if you're not using AWS but tr

I wish there were a way to "block" youtube channels. I feel similarly about this specific content source, but there are a bunch of others who are far worse on other topics.

Same. Eventually (after 30-40?) they give you a link to turn off password resets attempts (or notifications of?) from devices you haven't logged on from in the past 90 days (I think?).
