You've GOT to be kidding me.

If that's where the line is drawn, and those are the only two incongruent choices possible, then fuck me, I want crypto to destroy fiat and leave nothing standing.

But no, hey, it's fine. We explicitly say, over and over, it's fine to take obscene risks and it's fine for the capital owners to wipe their asses with our economy. Because the formula is simple, take money, over leevesge, get too big to fail, reap those profits until everything is so tied together than when the dominoes fall, eh the other banks will pick it up...

... And Totslly not pass that on to taxpayers. Yellen said so, right?!

If you have any doubt about this model, look at, oh idk, literally any executive of any non-trivial company, the fines leveraged against the company for (polluting openly, hiding test results, ignoring safety concerns and posioning a water table).

Serioulsly, why should we expect ANYTHING ELSE when there are countless clowns ready to excuse the system. God forbid you realize you're not gonna "win" capitalism at this point. Christ.

I can't. The discourse here is... Siccophantic. Sorry, if you're reading this, you're not likely to be an exploiter, might as well embrace some class solidarity while you can.

Who would've thought post-hand-wringing-over-poor-300k-salary-tech-workers realizing their disposability that we would have another event reminding HN just how different the rules are for capital owners than the rest of us.

Why is that tech workers, many of whom easily have earned over a million dollars in salary over the past few years can't be told to "live within their means"?

Why is it that the same VCs that rallied against student debt relief think their poorly run bank should be bailed out?

I know why, this thread is chalk full of it. "We were smart, we were playing the game with the advantage we were told made us untouchable, we can't fathom gasp 'negative consequences' whatever those are".

I'm sick of it and thankful to see people seeing through this a bit more than usual. Downvoting isnt going to change a damn thing, click your hearts out and enjoy the dissonance. See ya in the next too-big-to-fail-as-a-result-of-unchecked-corporate-greed thread. lmao

It's so wildly awesome to deal with data natively in nushell than donhacky shit with jq and strings... In bash. No thanks.

It's not batshit infuriating to use?

Idk, I was an OG PowerShell, I'd take nushells approach every day of the week.

Yes, daily driving it (it's my default shell in zellij), and have ported my use-every-5-mins scripts to it.

It's VERY refreshing, but I still have issues with it not short-circuiting when an error is thrown in a loop... Which I suspect will get fixed in time...

I'd need two eye droppers of bleach and two sharp ear-canal-length pokey sticks to start watching this.

I wonder if Thiel loses sleep knowing how unrespected he is if he has to throw in with Dave Rubin.

The cognitive dissonance of people here, around this is wild. So many of y'all really thought you were on the winning, exploitative side of every situation and would never be at risk.

The incredulous, "I thought this can't happen, won't this be bad". Play stupid game, win stupid prizes.

Smacks of "oh woe is a tech worker who made a million over the last 5 years that might be out of work a few months". Yeah, k.

Oh man I actually laughed out loud at this. I don't think your HN comment is going to do anything in the face of the classic prisoner's dilemma.

That article is hot garbage, predictably since the app is purpose built to not allow proper backups/migrations.

"Go back in time and save the raw secrets" might as well be a certain-fingered emoji to basically literally everyone.

At this point, the only hope is getting webauthn everywhere and train people to always enroll a primary and backup token.

Huh, 14 comments in and no one telling me why this is actually good for me yet. Is the mirage finally wearing off?

Pretty much every single one of these threads is about half full of people demanding more, larger foot-guns with which to shoot themselves because they just can't be bothered (just assure you'll hear when they're eventually locked out, etc).

Android: long press power, tap lockdown. Your entire point is now just inaccurate. I do this when going through security checkpoints, if I were to get pulled over, and Android auto trihgers it under abnormal conditions upon which I have a decently long device-specific password.

You know the big black bold huge warning you clicked through to active 2fa? The one that told you you really really needed to save backup codes? The one that said you will lose your account without said backup codes?

You do have those backup codes, right?

Backups, password managers, now 2fa backups, all things that people just cannot seem to care about until it's too late
