But maybe they can negotiate a better deal for their payments?

How will this affect tourism?

I can't see people paying thousands of dollars for a US vacation if there is a small chance of them being randomly detained and locked up for days.

No idea, but technically some phones are now water-cooled.

I like librapay, I wish more people would use it.

I also hope they can reduce the ratio paid to paypal/stripe. More money should go to devs.

Do you know where to find statistics on accidents and fatalities per vehicle or brand?

Do for example insurance companies provide such data?

I like this approach.

But can you safely do this with multi room devices?

US is pushing for these to replace classic crypto in commercial applications by 2030.

The C in CNSA 2.0 is for "Commercial".

I think the biggest fear is lack of accountability.

We have already seen this causing real problems for real people. Please see Jeremy Howard's lecture on ethics in AI for some real world examples.

"Easier to trust Tesla or VW."

Teslas are now old enough to be subject to mandatory yearly inspection in EU. They are dead last in the German and Swedish rankings based on the number of issues found during the yearly inspection.

German TÜV EV+ICE ranking:

  1. Honda Jazz

  2. VW Golf

  ...

  110. Ford Mondeo

  111. Tesla model 3

Swedish Besktining EV car maker ranking

  1. Polestar

  2. Lync

  ...

  X-1. Dacia 

  X. Tesla

New comment by daghamm in "Towards a test suite for TOTP codes"

daghamm — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 15:55:50 +0000

Given that nobody uses TOTP with Sha256 today I assume there is no real reason to upgrade.

But has anyone actually reaserached this? For all we know, using hma-sha256 in TOTP may actually make it less secure.

This is very useful to anyone writing TOTP tools, big thanks to the author.

However, reading the article this section caught my eye:

"As we now know, SHA-1 has some fundamental weaknesses. ... But the TOTP authors disagree and allow a for some different algorithms to be used."

With significant compute resources SHA1 can be broken for some use cases, but I don't think this is one of them. Is HN aware of any practical attacks against TOTP-SHA1?

Why do you need to theme everything when it always result in a broken UI?

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel.

libadawita has been a game changer. Now gnome suddenly has the best looking apps among all DEs and platforms.

I hope WhiteSur is useful for OSX developers using GTK, but please keep it out of gnome and Linux.

No, but a self-sustained 8-bit or even 32-bit MCU may be cheaper than a 555.

You are wrong on two accounts.

There are plenty of ways for getting rid of underperformers in a goverment organisation. I've seen entire teams being sacked, and also some of the hardest working people I know work for goverment organisations.

Also, you cannot run the goverment like an startup that is always running on the edge. A majority of startups fail and that's fine, but one goverment organisation failing could cause problems for the entire country.
