My guess is that it’s the easiest and cheapest way to set up “MFA”.

TOTP is cheaper.

SMS is actually expensive at scale. An example would be Signal, the messenger app that doesn’t use SMS. They have overhead for sending backup codes/new account creation/Verification/etc… https://www.wired.com/story/signal-operating-costs/ 6 million a year. API integrations for SMS messages/codes are still like 1-5 cents per message.

TOTP’s requirements? A reasonably accurate clock on the server, and storing the shared secret in a database.

But… That could be what it adds on. Gotta use the right tool to capture the ghost. That way identification is still relevant.

If your vehicle isn’t disabled, what’s the big deal about stopping?

If you’re just careening down the highway at 80, you’re not really giving your car a fair chance to let you know that it’s really in a disabled state now are you?

It’s just common sense that after a major impact you should evaluate the safety of continuing in your current state. Stopping and doing the bare minimum of just looking at your car would be the first step of that process.

I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.

Cool. That’s fine that you don’t like it. However people have a right to not see what they don’t want to see. If they decide that means it’s lemmy.ml, then that’s their right.

Just like I have a right to not peer with lemmy.ml if I didn’t want to.

Hell I have a hard block on ALL Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Not because I have something against the people. But I just don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting traffic from those countries.

Just because some (or even a majority) of the people on lemmy.ml are fine to interact with doesn’t mean that there isn’t contention from other users and admins on that instance.

Why we gotta do Derpy like that?

There was no purchasing contract in place when the suing company placed the $20 million dollar order

You think that companies just slap down 20mil without a contract in place?

I’ll have a map where you have to prevent a nuclear meltdown

Who would want to play a game where there’s nothing to do?

In every nuclear reactor we’ve ever had issues with it took ignoring engineers or specifically bypassing normal operations procedures to cause.

In your game… the answer would be “do nothing”. Game over, you win.

And sometimes even really simple ones.

You ran the ad hominem first buddy.

Where? So we’re already at an impasse. My statement didn’t completely hinge on your obvious lack of familiarity with NYC. You ignored the whole argument and turned around and called me oblivious. My statement had no malice, yours clearly did. Welcome to the block-list since you want to be a jackass.

So you learn for the future: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Ad hominem is a Latin term for arguments that attack the person making a claim rather than the claim itself.

I didn’t solely attack you. I pointed out your obvious lack of knowledge and then pointed out the actual underlying issues that prove your original statement incorrect. Your response was simply “Ignorant American!”. Which was both factually wrong and a proper ad hominem. You addressed nothing further than your supposed attack on me. That’s what makes the fallacy.

The simple fact of the matter is that having to resort to paying commercial parties for housing means the government missed the mark on allocating the funds to provide structural housing at much lower cost.

There is “structural” housing, and even a significant amount of it in the NYC area. It’s all full up. It costs time and money to build more. And they don’t have time because the people are there now. You can’t just magic land, magic materials, magic builders, magic all the resources needed to build something in 1 day. And nobody is able to build at any speed to keep up with the breakneck amounts of crossings coming over the border looking for housing in NYC.

So you can call it a waste, but the alternative is that the housing people need now will be available in many months. So everyone goes without in the meantime. And those numbers will never converge with the policies in place right now.

Where did I say left or right? I’m actually deeply aware that left and right are poor nomenclatures and SPECIFICALLY chose not to use it. Mostly because left and right are completely different in the US vs the EU. However, Red and Blue in the USA specifically reference a particular political party. Of which NYC is deep and dark blue, where-as upstate NY (typically a reference to anything that isn’t NYC and it’s surrounding metro area) is oftentimes Red.

You claimed “small government”. That’s not what NYC is, not even close. It’s the Republican party that runs on “Small Government” (incorrectly). But that’s a moot point as NYC is Democrat.

But at least thanks for proving that you’re talking about a topic you have no idea about. All you can do is run to ad hominem rather than actually discuss the problem.

Side note: I’m a dual citizen and hold both US and EU passports. Tell me that I’m a “true american” again, most of the people I interact with in the USA certainly don’t hold the same point of view.

This is spoken as someone who thinks they know something about NYC.

First off this article is actually about NYC, not the state of NY.

NYC is WILDLY blue. And NYC is WILDLY complicated and huge from a government perspective. It’s so fucking large that the departments that are supposed to deal with specific policy/law can’t even advise you on any of it. Then a week later you’ll get a fine.

Literally everything you think you said about NYS… is opposite because it’s NYC.

What does 300 students with cellphones do as a lifeline in any event during the school day that would actually warrant it?

I don’t think any ban is saying that they can’t have the phones in their locker, off, for use after school hours.

What I do find funny,

Fifty-eight percent of such parents want their children to have cell phones so they can get in touch with them or learn their whereabouts when needed while 48 percent say cell phones help them coordinate transportation to and from school with their children.

As if that was not a problem for previous generations that didn’t have cell phones. There are plenty of answers that work that don’t require cellphones. Like… I don’t know… Talking to your kids. Or at worst, calling the school office and relaying a message to your kids if something significantly deviates from your normal plans.

And their next line proves the point that half the children with a phone shouldn’t have it.

Nearly as many say children need mobile devices to communicate about their mental health or other needs.

No, you don’t need a phone to communicate about your mental health during school hours. Your phone isn’t the correct device to do that. If you have mental health concerns you need to see medical professionals, and if it’s immediate, the school nurse. Not your phone, not your dumb as rocks social media. Your phone is not a device that can help assuage ANY medical/health condition. The fact that the child thinks they NEED the serotonin/dopamine hit of their precious phone in order to mentally cope with anything and adults are perpetuating it… that’s just fostering dependence on these devices and makes the whole thing worse.

I’m willing to bet that very few people on Lemmy.ml are Russian.

But they don’t get as much use here

You should clarify “here” a bit more. In AZ tile roofs are EVERYWHERE.

We end up replacing the underlayment more often than the actual tiles… unless the specific type of tile is no longer made and too many cracked for whatever reason.

Or dash cams…

GrayJay: News to me… https://github.com/futo-org/grayjay-android I can see the full source… and the license seems pretty “free” to me… https://github.com/futo-org/grayjay-android/blob/master/LICENSE.md with only caveat being that you can’t distribute it for payment. I’m fine with that… and most others should be fine with that too.
ytdl: depends on the service using it. https://www.tubearchivist.com/ uses ytdl and gives you a little frontend for it. Works fine for watching and you can set it to watch for uploads from channels.

I’m sure you were… But what does that have to do with what they said?

Divorce and child custody agreements are two separate legal things and child custody agreements are thankfully not a matter of public record.

And yet I was able to pull my parents Divorce from decades ago and in those documents were details about who has rights to me… I think this is likely a state by state thing. Though my name was never directly mentioned.
