.. and then you lose your 2FA-info or are blocked because Iran.


You need to lose your 2FA device, like your phone, the recovery codes (normally in a password manager), AND the local copy of your code at the same time.


Reality may be a bit more complex.

- You may not have all your source code repos synced locally. Maybe you think you do but forgot one.

- You may keep your phone in your computer bag and lose both at once (both your 2fa and your code).

- You may drop your phone in the ground and fail to get access to your password manager.

.. etc.

Having a backup strategy which involves you not breaking a piece of glass (aka phone) you play with while sitting on the toilet is a bit risky.


I care about it. I care about the opinion of people since their opinions may impact their decisions.

Caring about some persons opinion isn't the same thing as being offended.


You have no idea how people's opinions about various topics will impact their decisions on other topics. This is thought policing and abject discrimination.


Are you telling me that I'm not supposed to take other peoples opinions into account when deciding who to trust and support? Because if that's the case I will decide not to put any trust in what you say.


I really enjoyed it. Am I holding it wrong?


Would you prefer paying because they would do a better job? Or because your kids would prefer it? Or because you would make more money?

It's up to you of course, I'm just curious.


All of the above.


It's paid leave...


How much would it take to get you to perform a temporary job you don’t want? The same compensation as for a job you do enjoy? Or more? Or is there no amount you’d take?

For example, having two kids, there is literally no amount of compensation or benefits you could provide as an employer or nation state to convince me to have more.


Did you know this before you got them? I would rather be with my kids than working.


No, after. I want them to thrive, but they're not at an age yet where I can fully appreciate time with them.


> No, after. I want them to thrive, but they're not at an age yet where I can fully appreciate time with them.

You know that first 3 years of our lives are most forming on our deeper personalities. How people are calm, energized, focused, or somehow broken... they have started developing personalities while still in the womb. That they have no verbal way to express themselves doesn't mean anything. They do appreciate every second with their parents. They are building the foundations of their personalities for the rest of their lives.

You being absent (and seemingly pretty cold/distant personality) doesn't work work well with your claimed intent for them to thrive. Unless you mean that they will be one of these uber-competitive, never-happy but probably wealthy types which are mostly just sad stories once you know them well. If that's the case, you are probably well on course, and unfortunately they are too...

Parenting is time when 'me' focus changes to 'it' focus, it being the kid. For me and my wife, the transition was automatic and smooth, nobody needn't to tell us anything. I've been given plenty as a child and now I am giving back to next generation. Without thinking about what will come for me or my wife.


> You know that first 3 years of our lives are most forming on our deeper personalities.

Do you have any citations or source for that?


Nobody ever did a full A/B study on that, it would require damaging many babies for rest of their lives. We're over Mengele's approach for quite some time and time machine isn't a thing yet.

But there are tons of stories that babies neglected/suffering perform much worse for rest of their lives. Deep mental issues, lower IQ etc. Some proof might be stories I read from some specifically cruel communist Romania orphanage, where children were neglected, often caged or chained. Something like 90% of them struggled significantly in the society in their later lives.

It doesn't have to be interventional study.

Children being caged and chained having long lasting consequences is so far from from the original claim that first 3 years of our lives are most forming on our deeper personalities. It appears there is no reason to consider that claim true.


Wowser, what work do you do?

Have you never been involved in a long project that was initially unfruitful but ultimately rewarding when you stuck at it? It's not supposed to be enjoyable, you're nurturing your child to establish the foundation on which your life together is built and to help them prosper.

You're right, it's extremely mentally challenging in those first months before they start to communicate with you directly (as opposed to general communication of crying!). But it's part of the whole experience that bonds you together in a way I'd never have imagined was possible.


Maybe it is mentally challaging because you worry about the job you have to go to next day? I'm fairly weak mentally but I didn't find that period a challange. I was up every night singing lullabies over and over again but when he slept during the day I slept as well. Most kids sleep a ton during this time and if you sleep when kid sleep most parents will sleep more than ever. Providing comfort and calming him was amazing to me.


Hmm, a quick search tells me that roughly half of all babies are breastfed after 6 months in the US. Seems acceptable to cater for potential needs of half the population (assuming numbers are the same obviously).

I was home with my kid when he turned 1 until he was 1.5 using this system in Sweden. Being a guy, I didn't breastfeed him. Kid still appear functional.


> Kid still appear functional.

Yeah you don't want an object oriented kid.


> Kid still appears functional.

It's ok, you have more than enough time to traumatize his childhood and early adulthood :-p


Clearly. I tried to explain binary to him this morning. It will go downhill from here.


Might be a bad idea of you work a lot.


Then there is no lack of dog or cat cafes in town in most Japanese cities.


The audience I pointed out don't leave their homes.


The post I replied to mentioned working a lot. You dont work from home in Japan.


The article I linked to mentions half a million people who never leave their home, and work remotely.


Create a protocol or API spec on top of HTTPS or something else and use it. I don't know where you ar at but surely the government can just say "hey guys support this secure protocol before 2022 or you're out".

I can log on and read any of my medical records at any time and the information is aggregated from multiple sources. What's the issue?

If you use fax you won't even be able to see some kind of central audit log for your data. That's pretty crazy.


> Create a protocol or API spec on top of HTTPS or something else and use it.

This is basically what they've done with EDI/X12 over AS2, which was also mandated by HIPAA. The problem is that EDI is a pain to work with as a data format and hooking up to other trading partners can take weeks of coordination between IT teams (sending "implementation guidelines" back and forth). When EDI is the alternative it's not hard to see how the fax machine survives.


> There are many, many VPN providers, and Mozilla can’t recommend any specific service.

Was it somehow unclear? Pretty clear to me at least.


But then they go on to mention several providers by name, with links.


And users activates, users logged on last X months, users not deleted, no duplicates caused by some obscure event synchronization issue etc etc. Bugs are easy.


This is true. It depends on application but I wonder how often users really need to go to Page 107 of something. Seems like maybe this use case should be solved with some kind of search instead. I have implemented offset pagination myself to several apps where being able to paginate by jumping to the page with records starting with "R" would make more sense.


In most cases this is probably better, but sometimes there is no logical filter that works on you hvae to rely on sort order. One example might be a gallery, I might decide to look though pages 1-10 tonight, 20-30 tomorrow, etc. An arbitrary primary key is the only discriminator that makes sense here. Another example would be classical forum posts, they are sorted by last active but sometimes I'll want to jump to page 134 because that's where I got up to last time and bookmarked my place.

That said, if users were doing this in my software I'd definitely be looking at how I can improve their workflow.
