Just FYI you don't need a mobile phone to have a mobile number: * Numbers are generally designated when they're created by regulatory agencies as "landline", "mobile", "VOIP", etc. * You can provision

It's kind of both. SMS 2FA is more likely to serve as an onramp for "good customers" who are developers actually building real applications using your services, rather than people who are mass-blasting borderline spammy marke

Not a huge deal but I have accounts linked to the Authy app which I no longer have access to because they're from old jobs (like a github of GSuite account) and every party involved says they cannot remove the accounts from the app, so

I have worked in this space - aside from WebAuthN, the spam/scam problem is tough for a SaaS Telco company because anti-spam/scam is directly at odds with a low-friction self-serve experience. You also have to realize that Twilio

you can’t really short private companies as a normal person and even if you could you would never outlast the money VCs are willing to pump in to prop it up until they find the greater fool buyers Your best bet is just to stay away when som

they’re quite different first and foremost, working out at home has always been available. If you prefer working out at home you were probably already doing it. Second, a lot of people enjoy a social aspect of gyms, or even just find it mot

Any institution that invested in "home workout" stuff deserves to lose every dollar they put in, how could you not see that coming.

I mean the gap between understanding how to use different models effectively and developing new ones is massive. One is like sophomore year undergrad engineering, the other is like masters/PHD. And "understanding how to use the mo

I think they probably mean "ML engineering" as in training pre-existing models in jupyter notebooks, the new "data science". The people that actually create/engineer anything new and useful in ML is <1% of people

I've been working professionally in Go for almost a year now and I do agree Go is really pragmatic and is largely nice for just "getting stuff done". However there is an absurd amount of nil checking which can be easy to miss

I love stories and movies that are kind of just like "man a bunch of shit just happened, is there really a lesson? who knows" (like Burn After Reading for a comedic example). There doesn't have to be a "point" for t

I do appreciate that Rust tends to have the mentality that they will, after careful consideration, add something like split_array to solve X ugly problem. But it leads to just a TON of features and approaches to learn.

Another day, another HN thread where everyone becomes a labor law expert in order to find a way that it’s justified and legal and cool for a giant multinational surveillance capitalism conglomerate to treat workers poorly

I've used Spotify for ~9 years years exclusively for music streaming and I guess I get a podcast suggestion on the homepage every once in awhile but I just ignore it and move on. You can permanently hide the "friend" view in

As it happens your stuff still gets delivered when workers are unionized and treated like human beings

Yeah what could go wrong when technocrats try to completely remove subjectivity from the world and optimize everyone's life and work towards some completely arbitrary measure so that my shitty things can get delivered 0.002 seconds fas

Also not having a great cab service is nothing compared to the exploitation of workers occurring. No one has a god given right to have cheap taxis in their city at any cost. The people complaining in this thread sound like the people compla

yep if that were your goal it would be way more cost effective to get a zero day from just not trying that hard with security practices. Not having any security knowledge on the team. Not patching/upgrading dependencies with security b

I cook almost everything I eat from whole ingredients from the grocery store, so other than bread (I don't use much dairy at all) I don't have to worry about hidden sugar or fats much. My problem is simply controlling the portion

So the workers can't unionize across locations because they all technically work for different companies

It also depends on your head shape, I see a lot of men who are very good looking still with a fair amount visible recession, and they do quite well with their dating life. Personally I just felt like the relatively small amount of recession
