OpenID Connect is probably the most popular alternative to having a password for every single site. Especially on mobile, most apps usually have an option to sign up/login with your Google or Facebook account.

I'm still a bit bummed that OpenID (the original version) got lost to history. It's not really 'open' if you are handing over the keys to Facebook or Google.
The problem is lack of control. The tax man (politicians, find managers) could make any number of appropriations instead of using the money for society and dead people cannot challenge him. Current living people have less of a stake to do that.

Facts About P2P in WebRTC

What is WebRTC?
WebRTC stands for Web Real-Time Communication. It basically the collection of API’s to allows direct connection between browsers.

So, its easily transfer any type of data from one browser to another directly.

In WebRTC clients directly communicate with each other completely and also communicate with the server.

Its a technic to directly connecting with clients like peer to peer sharing, browser data, IP address and more files can easily communicate and transfer one to another.

I didn't make a remark about accidents.
The scenario I described (the sudden appearance of another car in your lane while you are maybe 70 mph faster) does happen to every driver regardless of how often he/she speeds. It's simply that other drivers often are bad at assessing the speed of an approaching car on the left lane.

The few cars that drive really fast are creating a stressful experience for everyone on the Autobahn.

You can be the world's best fast driver on the German Autobahn with an entire accident-free record, yet you might have caused anxiety and dangerous situations for hundreds of other drivers as "byproduct" of your own driving.

And I am writing that while I do love the Autobahn. I am even a bit shocked that I am now basically ending up arguing for speed limits... :P

Can the admins change this to point to the actual mailing list thread[0]?

I'm still reading through the thread, but it seems that DarkMatter have some small technical issues around issuing certifications. Specifically, the claims seem to be:

1. using 63 bits of entropy for the serial number instead of the required 64.

2. name constraints were incorrectly filled in for their intermediate certificates.

3. DarkMatter's other business units may compromise the CA internally for malicious purposes.

That kind of explanation is how a company could "promise the traffic will not be intercepted" while using ROT13 to secure it.

Personal anecdote, but it's nice to see the growing maturity of the Indian audience - no one in my circle of friends and family is complaining that big names such as Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay et al. and rock/metal biggies (Slipknot/Dream Theater/Pantera et al.) are missing. Growing tastes, perhaps?

And it's amazing to see Spotify grow so quickly. Almost all of the people I know (I'm guilty of the same) used a US free-tier account, and sideloaded modded applications to listen to Spotify. I used to think that was piracy as usual, but now all of us are on 1-year subscriptions. The price sensitivity ($9.99/month in US vs $1.68/month in India) does obviously make a difference.
> But if you have arbitrary code execution on a MacBook, you probably have everything you want from that MacBook

You probably have all the locally available data you could want. You may not have access to passwords, or other data that comes from actively using an online site which doesn't currently have active credentials (because they time them out or the user logged out previously). For example, depending on the person and the documents they keep locally, you might not have access to any banking information.

Privilege escalation opens up a whole slew of capabilities that make it much easier to achieve that, not to mention allowing a rootkit to get access back immediately after a reboot.

Local account exploits are like a burgler breaking in (even repeatedly) while you aren't home. Privilege escalation is like them installing a remote camera system and recording your every action while you are home. Both are pretty horrible, but certain things are much more likely to be exposed with active monitoring of what you are doing over extended periods...
Bug bounties don't exist to prevent people from selling exploits on the black market. Those who were going to do so will do it anyways, and companies don't want a scenario where they have to bid against other buyers for such reports.

They simply exist as a small incentive for folks who would have otherwise done nothing.
Maybe it's just me, but I never did like the change to metal all that much. I have both plastic and metal laptops now and still dislike metal. Typing on a plasticky HP right now with certainly a better keyboard than the MacBook, but let's not get started with that...

public opinion is an illusion in a world shaped by minority interest groups. It doesn't matter if it's neocons pulling the strings or the neoliberals in power. The outcomes are devastatingly destructive policies to line the pockets of the 1% at the expense of nature and the rest of us.

If we remember Occupy Wallstreet and look at how many people have been placed on lists, or how many protesters got hurt, in comparison with what the movement achieved, then it's proof that leaflet-campaigns achieve nothing. The bankers are still not held accountable a decade later and continue to collect fat bonuses all around the world. Peaceful protests aren't the solution. Anyone who reads history knows peaceful discourse has never triggered change when it mattered.

Peaceful protests are just a lot of noise. Ranting on facebook or twitter unfortunately solves nothing. Real action is painful and people (often millions) die. That's the only time when change happened in the past. Denying this is wishful thinking (at best) and akin to white-washing history (at worst).

"War on the planet" is happening as we speak. Yet all people do is talk while we're getting boiled like proverbial frogs. We rather engage in wishful thinking that tech / science (our new substitute religions) will solve these problems (what else to tell kids in their 20ies today?). The reality on how change can happen is bleaker. A whole spectrum of options are available - but none of them are peaceful. It essentially involves getting rid of at least 2/3 of the global population to give the planet a chance of recovery from humanities crimes against the planet.

With the compounded damage from climate change and global dimming, even if the human population is reduced to 10K surviving individuals, it's still no guarantee that the planet survives in that case.

So leaflet campaigns and peaceful discourse are laughable considering that all humans do in the face of these terrors is to engage in identity politics and fight for individual "rights" instead of talking about responsibilities.

> JIRA is still the product i hate using the most on a day to day basis.

several years ago a very big super-duper-EVP of our BigCo happened to be in our cubicle and noticed how my colleague was agonizing with the JIRA (visible to the EVP slowness plus invisible to him yet scorching our brains utter pointlessness of what the colleague had to complete there). The EVP had a epiphany right there and then - "wouldn't it be a huge improvement in our developers' life if those JIRA issues were to be solved?". At that moment he looked like he was feeling himself pretty much a god who is about to give gift of fire to those dirty mud figurines. It was so hard to not burst into laugh right into his face... Anyway, it happened to be that extremely rare case when a such high EVP did ultimately deliver on his words, even if indirectly - he left the company pretty soon and with him out all that JIRA/Scrum/Agile stuff just totally disappeared almost immediately.

I hope USB-C (the connector at least) never becomes the standard. I have a MBP with these god awful ports and it's really frustrating how bad the connector is.

There are DJs for whom the macbook pro is required equipment for their performances. They're performing in front of 10s and sometimes >100 thousand people. Their midi controllers, and their SOUND CARDS (really a DJ mixer, most likely) are connected by: USB A.

USB-C doesn't have the sort of retention that USB A does, at least the ports on my super expensive laptop don't. At this point, they cable would likely just fall out if I tipped the laptop sideways.

Thing is: there are LOTS of things for which this type of thing is true. I've done lighting shows where this MBP was running a large lighting element on a large stage, and it was all dependent on that crappy USB-C connector, and a chain of dongles (!!!). Same thing is going to be true for interactive art installations, (some) large lighting shows. All sorts of stuff. So annoying.

On the flipside, Apple has a lot more data on what components fail than we do. They can detect issues before they become a "-gate" and I imagine slight improvements like this one happen fairly often. Which, I'd say, is a good engineering practice and culture.
That's a pretty good gig for them, charge you $700 for a display replacement and then take your old display and remanufacture it for $10 to reuse somewhere else
https://neoconix.com/products/standard-products/usb-3-1-type...
And Louis has several Apple store stories in his videos where the idea is "This display replacement is so expensive, just get a new Apple laptop". So it seems Apple strategy is to no longer repair but push people into buying new stuff - I guess this looks much better in their P&L and KPIs (new sales vs. repairs). But my accounting knowledge is limited.

This is a mischaracterization of the issue. They communicated battery throttling poorly; they weren't "caught slowing down" iPhones.

The display in my MacBook Pro 2017 just died recently. It was flickering for a week and then went all black (almost), except for a small line of pixels.

Together with the double-insert problem when hitting the space key, it’s really total garbage.
Good luck. You aren't the first to try this. Uber's terms of service expressly prohibit displaying their prices next to a competitor's, and they've sent their lawyers after anyone who has tried. You don't make money as a marketplace by competing in the market for marketplaces -- you do it by being the marketplace and charging the rent that the market will bear.

>Believing you can raise yourself up and improve your life is a relatively new phenomenon, and society stopping people doing that leads to unhappiness.

Such a speculative statement. You cannot predict the behavior of a group of people anymore than you can predict a stock. I would say a more realistic statement to your topic is:

People can be happy with what they have and be unhappy with what they have and throughout history many people have felt either way. It is not a new phenomenon. Whether these feelings lead to revolution in the future is impossible to determine.

You need to look at trendlines, data points and evidence.

and unfortunately our schools suck at all of them, and to change that you again need those.
To be honest, I'm not really sure why this is necessary. I don't see why couldn't have two interfaces - one simple/moderate-speed one for most use cases, and a fast one (which could incorporate the slower one) for when it's needed. Trying to cram everything into one interface seems to introduce too many compromises (I no longer know what the port does) and a lot of complexity.
But, important thing to say, I hold on to my Macbook Pro 2013 because of the bad quality of the new versions, not because I’m happy keeping my 2013. The money is still available and I would happily throw €3000 at Apple. It’s just that, they don’t want it, as if I’m not in their target audience. I don’t write enough emojis to benefit from an emoji bar.

I can't tell what "a device" means here.

If you mean "what it I only used Security Key A to register, but now I want to sign in with Security Key B?" the answer is that you can't, that's the wrong key. Register all the keys you want to use.

If you meant what if I registered with my Pixel phone and now want to sign in on my Windows PC, that just works fine. The client "state" lives in the Security Key (actually there is no state whatsoever in affordable designs), it's very clever cryptography.

> Conversely, if we pursue free services and money we will drive more power into the hands of a larger and larger incompetent government, and I think we know where that will end up — and it won’t be great for anyone.

Sure you can just state this, but no one has to buy it. My government has more than adequate at providing "free" healthcare to everyone, and it's pretty stupid to broadly dismiss that like it "won't be great for anyone". It's actually great for everyone. "Incompetent government" is a pernicious anti-social idea. Modern governments have a myriad problems but Government itself has proven its competence over and over again at addressing very difficult societal problems.

> Entrepreneurship has created the greatest gains in our standard of living to date, even if it’s hard to grasp the wild polarization of wealth in society.

You can sub in one of [Capitalism, Entrepreneurship, Western Civilisation] in this statement, and find it repeated over and over again like it's self-evident. Many "greatest gains" in our society had blatantly nothing to do with Entrepreneurship, take for example the Civil Rights movement, which certainly contributed greatly to overall standard of living. The Capitalist model can't slap a dollar figure on that though, so let's just ignore it.

Overall this piece is so confidently slap-dash I don't think Calacanis is actually listening to or reading any of the best opponents to his world view.

No matter how you define or name these things, your definitions will still be arbitrary. Polity. Empire. Civilization. It's like defining species, or musicals genres. There's obviously a there there, but it's not discreet.

Civilization or polity don't really have discrete meanings or beginning/end dates. Did Cyrus' civilization really end when Alexander beat the Persian imperial armies? Most of the political structures endured and then evolved under Hellenism. Did Hellenism end when Rome conquered the "world?" Well... Greek language and culture continued to dominate politically for another 1000 years.

Yea, this is another thing I've been thinking about. Of course Spielberg would prefer the 'cinema' experience since the only way he experiences cinema is private viewings or gala premiers at state of the art luxury theaters, surrounded by film connoisseurs and with people serving you vintage champagne. I wonder when he last had a 'genuine' cinema experience like the one your average middle class family experiences.
It's even likely! There are still relatively few women in tech, but they are at the same time pushed, expected to do well (to show they are not just the token gals), and are helped to be there. This is a pretty stressful position to be in.
