If you don't want them to connect to Wi-Fi, can't you simply never connect them to Wi-Fi?
> Just have yubikey sign the current time, you're already trusting them to correctly verify the key string.

By "them" you presumably mean Yubico not the Yubikey. But these OTP strings are generated by the Yubikey, not by Yubico so there's no way for them to be "signed" in this way. The verification process takes place at authentication so that would just tell you the current time, something you already know, it's useless.

> U2F is a different animal though. The question is then: does timestamping the response reduce the attack surface enough compared to the downsides? I'd argue yes since the described attack can offset a failed login and the actual attack after a MITM. Also, it is probably possible to get the time-stamp within the kernel. If your root is compromised you're also done for.

For WebAuthn (and its predecessor U2F) none of this is correct.

The Relying Party (a web site you want to authenticate to) sends a random challenge. A correct authentication in part signs that challenge, so timestamping is irrelevant here, your answers are either fresh or they're invalid anyway.

Because a physical FIDO authenticator is independent from the computer you are not necessarily "done for" if the computer is compromised, unless you've outfitted your computer with a finger to press keys it cannot, for example, press the button on the key, so there is no way for the compromised computer to obtain signatures from the authenticator with the UP (User Present) bit set, and checking UP in the signed response is part of WebAuthn.
You usually have items in an inventory. If you have what's needed, you can craft plenty of things by hand (but not complicated things like engines or anything to do with oil or uranium). Otherwise, you build belts to assembly machines, they take things from the belt, and make whatever you tell them.

Mid to late game you also get construction and logistics bots. The former allows you to copy/paste groups of machines (bots will make them), and the latter of which just makes sure you have things that you need in your inventory. Bots speed the game up quite a bit.
What if you colored each each row of beads differently? Then you'd have some idea of how each number contributes to each column once it settles.
I do. It sounds really weird to me. The whole concept of pull requests is that anyone can make them.
Battery ran out? Left one behind? Throw them all away and visit the quartermasters' Idiocracy/MIC version of Costco to pull another 100 pack off the shelf at a cost to the taxpayers of mere millions. Oh and F-35B's and Blackhawk turbines? just chuck those like Kleenex. My mom worked in civil service for the Navy and $20k parts in the '70's went "missing" and "lost" all of the time. Then there's a USAF Major I know who became unpopular for suggesting proper maintenance rather than ruining/replacing turbines might be a better approach (likely some sort of maintenance/HQ personnel-vendor kickbacks, MIC FTW).

> [Cambridge Analytica] closed operations in 2018 in the course of the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal, although related firms still exist.[0]

I'm sorry, but if you're going to lead with a policy change that was made after pretty much the largest scandal in your company's history, I think you know you're doing something wrong. If you want to claim the moral high ground changes need to happen before they become scandals. It is okay to make mistakes. It is okay to fuck up big time. But this just feels disingenuous. The reason people like The Social Dilemma is because it is real people saying "sorry, we fucked up. We take the blame, but let's solve the problem." This response feels like a childish response of "We didn't fuck up, you did."

> We don't sell your information to anyone.

IIRC the movie didn't claim this. Most people criticizing FB aren't claiming this. FB is selling access to the data.

> just like any dating app, Amazon, Uber, and countless other consumer-facing apps

I'm reminded of my mom saying "If all your friends jumped off a cliff would you?" I can't be the only one. Just because Netflix is guilty of similar crimes doesn't mean you're in the right. No one respects this defense.

This response is weak and does not feel genuine.

I imagine you could say the same thing regardless of outcome. The mere fact they allowed themselves to be vulnerable to such exploitation is the larger concern.
Nah, the watch is nothing but a gimmick. My bet is most people who try it won't buy a second one and will even stop using the first one. Taking off and on every day to charge is a huuuuge hassle , its much worse than a phone that naturally lends itself to being charged (because it rests on a desk anyway usually). But most of all the utility is not there, it wanes fast and the whole "breathe" thing is just ridiculous. The mi band is like $30 and lasts for a whole month on a single charge. Garmin watches seem to be popular with sports enthusiasts. "Normal" people dont have a use for a daily-charger phone. It's mostly a fashion item for all i know, one that needs extra effort.
That depends if you want to use it in a dark or quiet room.

A decent and bright projector is at least double the price of a decent tv.

All the bright ones I’ve seen also require fans.
We're missing the desire of Apple & Google to make this happen. Apple won't let Safari compete with its app store and Google won't let Chrome compete with its app store.
You could just setup the Pi as an access point and make it act like a bridge. Then drop anything that comes through on it that isn't DHCP.
My microwave has a wheel to turn the timer, a wheel to set the WATT, a stop button and a start button. If you press the start button it’ll automatically run for 30 seconds, if you press it again it’ll add another 30 seconds to the current run. It took me maybe 4 years of owning it before I learned of the start button feature. Not sure what the hell people are doing with microwaves that connect to the internet, but I sure as hell like mine simple enough for me to operate it. A general theme with most of my kitchen/home appliances really. If something doesn’t work out of the box, or if it has a gazillion “smart” features, then it’s likely just not for me.

A tad ironic to some people, I know. I work in public sector digitisation after all, we’re working with cutting edge tech every day, to help make the lives of citizens easier. Like how to distribute medicine so people with dementia actually take it. So many people naturally assume I’m a gadget person, and in fact a lot of my colleagues are, but I just don’t get why you’d want your TV to be “smart“.

So I’ll happily enforce your message about simple Designs.
Yes, I also bought the Sonos one, and in terms of sound and design it's delightful.

Unfortunately, under the clean and unassuming look lurks a spying monster. Sonos tracks the hell out of everything. Even in the EU where consumers are supposedly protected by GDPR and other directives.

A look at their privacy policy[0] makes my hair stand

> Functional Data:

> This data is absolutely necessary for your Sonos Product or Service, including Sonos Radio, to perform its basic functions in a secure way and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing, and/or processing if you want to continue to use your Sonos Products.

> We collect:

> Registration data. This data includes your email address, location, language preference, Product serial number, IP address, and Sonos account login information (as described above).

> System data. This data includes things like Product type, controller device type, controller operating system, software version, content source (audio line in), signal input (e.g. whether your TV outputs a specific audio signal such as Dolby to your Sonos system), information about WiFi antennas, system settings (such as equalisation or stereo pair), Product orientation, names of the music service(s) you added/enabled on your Sonos product, the names you have given your Sonos Product in different rooms, whether your Product has been tuned using Sonos Trueplay technology, system performance metrics (e.g. the temperature of your Product or WiFi signal strength) and error information.

And this is "just" the "absolutely necessary" data ... by default they also collect more Usage data, which as you can imagine, includes much more...

I think the bigger issue is 3rd party apps installed this way do not get any permissions to auto update (either itself or other apps).

This makes it near impossible to make an app store that competes with any system app store as you do not get 1 click installing or updating. Or for the app to even update itself. So a user who has 10 updates on a different app store would have to click through 10 install prompts just to update.
It is overly broad, but not because of this. AFAIK there is precedent for arguing cryptographic keys and even code implementing drm algorithms are such a "device". This is extra great because as soon as you slap any encryption or algorithm that could feasibly be called "drm" into your code, it becomes illegal to reverse engineer. This is being used by lots of companies, but most memorably for me by John Deere to make repairing their tractors a jailable offense.
We need new laws because existing ones don't account for the existence and importance of computing platforms.

But the problem is very obvious. A 30% cut for something that is completely free on other computing platforms is evidence of excessive monopolistic power. This power is exercised by means of restricting what kind of software end users can run.

It is not hard to imagine several reasonable ways to restrict that power depending on how far you want to go and what tradeoffs to take. The only seismic effects would be to owners of walled gardens mandated by device manufacturers, i.e. Apple, Google, Sony, etc. – exactly those who are currently abusing their market position.
Yep, I submitted not because I agree with it (I actually think it's a pretty laughable response) but because I think it warrants discussion.

I would have gone with a more editorialized title but the submission guidelines prohibit it.
Apart from the bad points, posting a PDF press release in response to a documentary people watched on Netflix is kind of stupid. How many people who watched The Social Dilemma will actually see this press release, let alone evaluate its points?
> The problem here is that, short of a revolutionary tech upgrade, Apple can't "fix" the AW battery life.

I don't buy this at all. AW has worst on class battery life - with a huge margin - compared to other smartwatches including the horribly optimized android wear watches.

It’s interesting that you take your own unfamiliarity with a term to somehow suggest that the person using the term doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

>I don't have a TV, only a few monitors (it's very liberating, actually). So instead I'll talk about my microwave. Yes, unironically! :D It has two dials.

Same here! I only worry about the day when it stops working, because no UI designer seems to realize that there is nothing better, and new microwaves come with atrocious, laggy, pointless UIs.
Yes. Anybody should be able to make pull requests.

Education will open doors for you.

First, try to get your high school diploma. Ask the high schools in your country to give you an exam and then grant you a diploma. International schools can do this, too.

Pick a country. Then:

1. Attend a language school there. For example, the Mandarin Training Center at National Taiwan Normal University http://mtc.ntnu.edu.tw .

2. Take exams: TOEFL, TOEIC, local language competency, high school equivalency, college entrance, http://www.tw.org/tocfl/ , etc.

3. Apply to universities. Apply for scholarships. Every university has a student financial advisor who can help you get scholarships. Ask them for advice. Ask them to check your scholarship applications. Reply to every scholarship rejection with an appeal explaining why you need the money for school. I received a scholarship after sending an appeal letter. A lot of money is available to students who can show that they need it.

4. Attend university. Work part-time. Earn a 4-year degree. Consider earning a master's degree, too. A master's degree helps a lot with getting jobs and visas. It can also help you move to a third country later.

5. Get a job and apply for a work visa.

These steps are straightforward in many countries.

You can skip step 1 and save time & money. If you need an exam and nobody offers it nearby, take it in another country. Or ask your local university to administer the exam.

Good luck!
Your example is interesting because in retrospect Super Size Me was alarmist and unfair. Morgan Spurlock mislead viewers to believe that his health conditions were caused by McDonalds when they were in fact caused by alcoholism.

There are IoT SIMs available on most major carriers, which are intended for economical occasional low-data usage on large numbers of devices. They're popular in GPSes among other things.

5G is looking to reduce the cost of them further as LPWA is a key part of the standard.

I would argue that having your repository on github is a strong way to say "feel free to contribute". Not saying spam is OK, just that having to ask repo maintainers their authorisation seems superfluous.

I believe a better comparison would be Comcast also having a Netflix competitor… let's call it Xfinity Stream. And then they make Netflix have extra costs (say, having plans that have low monthly bandwidth caps that limit how much you would be able to use Netflix) but exclude their own service from having those costs. Essentially, making an artificial floor on competitor prices where their own service can ignore that floor.

… Let's just say there's a reason my example is oddly concrete.

In your example, as far as I know consumers do not actually interact with the power plants, and have no choice on what utility company to use; to do so would require duplicate infrastructure. In the (either) app store case there is — I can still install the Microsoft mail client instead of the Apple or Google ones.
My microwave has a lot of buttons but I basically use it like you do.
Quantum mechanics deals with very small particles interacting with very strong forces. Gravity is so weak it can be ignored.

Relativity deals with so much gravity that spacetime is warped.

Neither is appropriate for the other and they are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Classical physics is useful in the middle at "human" scale.

What would be nice is a simple theory that covers it all. Nothing we currently have is able to stretch to be useful in all situations.

Aren't all smart TV dumb tv if you decide not to connect it to internet and use its input ports alone?
We're going off topic now, but why do all microwaves have knobs now? I hate them. I want a number pad like the microwaves had when I was growing up. I want to close the door, press the numbers that indicate the amount of time I want and hit "start". When you turn a knob, either you have no indication of the exact time, or there's a display that moves in increments that the computer thinks are good (usually 10s). I don't want to scroll to the time I think is good, and I don't want to fight the thing trying to get smaller increments, which I need for doing more sensitive foods (microwave cake, for example). The knobs can also be difficult for people with certain disabilities.

While I'm griping already, a lot of people hate the button interfaces some (rare) microwaves have because they use capacitive touch buttons with no haptic feedback, and careful aim is required to press the correct button. I wish manufacturers would make microwaves with button blister keypads instead. For blind users, blister buttons can also have raised braile indicators, or users can buy "bump dots" to make the buttons easier to find and actuate.

What do blind users do with a microwave that has knobs? If the knobs click and they use the microwave regularly, I guess they could memorize the number of clicks to turn them. If they're ultra-smooth digital no-click knobs, then they have to memorize quarter-turns and turning speed, etc. Sounds awful! Or perhaps I am mistaken and there is actually a microwave with both knobs and voice guidance (though if I were blind I think slow voice guidance would drive me nuts).

It seems to me that if your platform nurtured social conditions that cause an actual, literal genocide, you should immediately, radically rethink the whole way the platform works--or, safer still, just shut it down and use your power to lobby for legislation to stop a thing like that from ever happening again.

Instead, the answer was to trot out some absolutely inexcusable, banal platitudes. And now we get to see similar effects roiling the USA and seeping more and more into the world at large. The fact that they're continuing to tread out such platitudes this far in is simply indescribable. I understand the psychological foibles that can lead very smart people to deny the monstrosity of their own creations, but I am nevertheless filled with fathomless rage that Mark Zuckerberg prioritized his ego and his shareholders above the good of all mankind, whether that was conscious or driven simply by his unwillingness to accept the true nature of his creation.
IMHO, Google & Apple are safe for at least 4 more years: the current and next US administration has no interest in changing the status quo in the corporate world. Maaaybe something will happen in 2030.
What’s the difference between a TV and a monitor anyway? My TV is only used for Netflix and videogames. Just like I’d do with a monitor.

Since shoplifting isn't a felony, prison isn't usually an option. In some states petty shoplifting might even be an infraction (more like a traffic ticket or a fine for littering) rather than a misdemeanor.

It certainly doesn't seem to be commensurate (or cost-effective) to send someone to jail (much less prison) for stealing $20 worth of merchandise (or passing a counterfeit $20 bill for that matter.)

Not to mention that piracy (or illegal copying) isn't theft - it's copyright infringement. (Though that might actually be worse since the penalty could be $150K in statutory damages.)

Or to create a more direct comparison, that Comcast fully blocks Netflix unless they give 30% of fees and launches their own service which is heavily subsidised.
