I used Duo to set up a similar push notification 2fa system for bitwarden as lastpass had.

I'd assume you still read the generated code, as if you're reviewing a PR

Same feeling.

I initially passed on the offer because I couldn't work remotely from my country of choice. They later contacted me when that'd changed, but I'd found another job by then that I was happy with. (Plus, the whole "do I want to work for them?" thing.)

Probably would've been let go, because less tenure + nonstandard working arrangement + mass firings is not a good combo.

If it's any consolation, I grew up in a well off family, and had a single pair of somewhat smelly gym shorts.

The swimming trunks argument still holds though.

MITM protection on public networks maybe?

Isn't that always the case? My friend was talking about a rare Magic The Gathering card being worth a silly amount of money... Except the card had only been sold once or twice at that price.

Unless you have enough comparable items (e.g. paintings by the Dutch masters) it's really difficult to determine the value of something that's rarely sold.

If your outside experience was in the UK, I would tend to agree. Their healthcare is drastically underfunded.

In comparison to France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc I would disagree.

I thought it would be bad, but it didn't take long when I switched to BW from LP. Half an hour maybe?

And that includes setting up Duo for push notification 2FA.

It's not a tech issue, but a govt issue.

Look up the cloud act. It essentially makes it impossible for any US company to truly comply with GDPR.

And yet you claim Germany and Europe have "gone wrong" when they make exactly such a determination.

Seems like double standards. What's the difference?

"You shouldn't fight because the baddies are strong!" is a horrible argument in my book. Discouraging and disparaging other people's attempts is even worse.

Which is half the fun for /some/ people.

What people are saying (including me) is that it's not fun for them, and Discord feels like a big hindrance instead of a benefit.

I remember there being a very good extension that did exactly this.

It got review bombed by food bloggers, and they ended up taking it offline.

I asked a structural biologist friend of mine (world class lab) about the impact of alphafold.

They said it's minimal.

In most cases, having a "probably" isn't good enough. They use alphafold to get early insights, but then they still use crystallography to confirm the structure. Because at the end of the day, you need to know for sure.

This is the way I remember it in Tokyo: stand on the side, unless it's super busy. Then you jam-pack as many people as humanly possible.

The Zune was one of the nicest pieces of tech I've ever owned, and nothing anyone says will convince me otherwise.

I bought a decent mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX). No solder, no installing switches yourself, etc.

No fuss mechanical keyboard already exist. No need to ditch repairability, etc.

> a solution in search of a problem

Ding ding ding.

I'm still in the "new and exciting" part of my life, but crypto just doesn't solve any interesting problems.

The decentralisation of crypto currencies is great (i.e. there's no central bank that can devalue its currency to prop up their national economy), but it's way too volatile to actually be useful as a currency. Would you agree to be paid your salary in bitcoin? Without adjustments if it drops relative to the dollar? Heck no. It's a speculative device, not a currency.

Smart contracts are cool too. Zero trust transactions etc. Conceptually I think these are really cool, but I see no practical need for them (for 99.99% of people).

Blockchain as a data structure, again for 99.99% of applications a DB and PGP do the trick. (And I'm still waiting on that 0.01% to show up.) I'm a software engineer by trade, and firmly believe you should pick the simplest way to solve a problem, not the coolest.

All of the different uses of crypto are "cool" but pretty useless. A solution in search of a problem indeed.

Very impressive! At first I thought it wasn't interesting for me, but the features just kept on coming.

Will have to try the super brightness as the weather keeps improving. I've always loved working outside, but brightness is a bit of an issue.

For Belgium: The rules are often still a bureaucratic mess, owed in part to the fact that it's easier to slap bandaids on existing systems than design a new system from scratch. The bandaids compound into systems that are often unintuitive, and not always transparent.

I do feel like I benefit greatly from these systems, convoluted though they may be. The goal still is to help people.

The few times I got the short end of the stick, I managed to reach a human the same day.

I'd challenge that. Used to work with AWS, now with GCP.

- They both throw credits at companies. - Services are similar. - Prices are similar, although Google sometimes has silly costs for "enabling" a service/API. - GCP dashboard is snappier. - AWS has good support.

I'd wager the quality of support is the main differentiator.

It's not just colour acting as an equaliser, but people being unable to distinguish when you take yolk colour out of the equation entirely.

From the linked thread:

Looks pretty similar to the desk I had at Amazon UK. You have a nicer chair though.

One Google feature that I miss terribly is hard filtering.

Used to be if you included "term" or -"term" you'd only get results that did/n't include those terms. But it seems Google has gone all in on the "I don't think you really meant that" approach [], and the hard filters have become suggestions at best.

[] Ok, I know it's probably because they're switching more and more to semantic search and ML, but they could retain the hard filters on top.

Sounds like a thing you can do with Uber already.

I once saw a 5 page conference paper with a 120 page appendix.

I admit I didn't read the appendix.

Unfortunately, NHS waiting times for mental health are abysmally long.

> plus data on the camera angles they were taken from

Doesn't seem like much of a stretch to determine the angles as well.

E.g. a semi brute forced way with GANs

Manga is a medium and basically spans the whole gamut, similar to books. You'll find kid friendly adventures, adult thrillers and everything in between.

Just checked their website, and I could see both teen and adult titles.
