Without something like that, I'm more likely to use the Anonymous route than go out of my way to register at yet another site. OpenID or Shibboleth) could be okay as well.

A system that would allow me to use local authentication for registration purposes (e.g.

if something compromises the machine), and also requires me to update not just one password manager, but the various password managers on the various machines I use.įor non-anonymous comments, I much prefer the "just say who you are and where you're from" schemes on sites like this one. (And yes, this means I've created a bit more work for one of our gracious hosts by sending a couple of Boing Boing comments through the "anonymous" mail-slot.) The problem is: basically it's Yet Another Authentication Credential to worry about, which means either (a) creating yet another username/password I'm likely to forget, (b) giving the site the same username/password I give other sites (or an easy-to-reverse-engineer variant), which raises all kinds of security issues, or (c) using password managers on my machines, which both has security issues of its own (e.g.
What I don't like so much are comment systems that require new local registrations. I'd like to add, I like the way the comment system is set up here, and I use my True Name with it even though it's not required. If the category really is "things that don't work", this really does cover quite a spectrum. Comment Registration Systems which require the use of True Names. The Teleport (an installation on Staten Island).ĥ. Can't afford too many mistakes.Īh, well, this is more like the "Remote control for common devices we could find the codes for".Ĥ. (wasn't anything in teh wall that I know of.) But I do spend something like half an hour fiddling with it before I'll drill a hole or pound a nail. The one time I missed, it was off by half an inch for reasons I never did figure out. Not that I use it a lot, but when I do, it's usually pretty accurate. Hm, I've only had a stud finder mess up on me once. Lose more than N bits and retransmission should happen automatically. Generally designed to handle N number of lost bits per M total bits sent without any loss of user data, where N might be 3 and M might be 24, or something. I may look like Al from Home Improvement, but my home improvement projects usually involve plenty of my blood, a minimum of 100 trips to the hardware store and all the NSFW curse words I can muster. I hereby certify that this is my true first name, and if your stud finder is detecting me, then it most certainly is broken. Weasel words: All typographical errors in this post are the fault of the error correcting modems that are currently taking a coffee break on Staten Island. In later books, she describes how some cities can manage to acquire wealth without manufacturing, or import-replacement, with an odd turn of phrase: "transactions of decline." Paper pushing, financial mismanagement are those sorts of things and usually national/state capitals specialize in those transactions of decline. Any region that consistantly replaces imports with exports will end up becoming a city. That being said, I happen to like that book, and think it accurately describes how countries get wealthy, or lose it. Her books introduce no equations, nor any magical handwaving. Mercantilism is the economic system that Adam Smith (the patron saint of modern western economists) railed against. In general, economists reject her arguments because what Ms Jacobs is referring to is traditionally called "mercantilism" by economists. I know nobody in mainstream economics takes the book seriously, because nobody in mainstream economics tries to argue that. It's interesting to me because it tries to make a principled argument for something that I feel intuitively ought to be true - that cities and nations ought to strive to produce their own goods for local consumption first, rather than becoming ever more dependent on global trade.
I wonder if anyone here has an opinion on Jane Jacobs' Cities and the Wealth of Nations.
