From your description it sounds like you were fighting very hard to make this into a box ticking exercise which didn't deliver any security, and unsurprisingly WebAuthn wasn't interested in helping you achieve that. I found it very easy to deploy WebAuthn securely, writing everything from scratch as a toy project to understand how it works, but of course I wasn't fighting to mark the checkbox while not delivering security.

> what is a registrable domain? [...] I couldn't get webauthn to recognize ngrok.io

A registrable domain is a domain that "you" aren't sharing with somebody else. For example this site is sharing .com with millions of other separate entities, so WebAuthn is not interested in having credentials for "com" because that wouldn't mean anything and introduces needless privacy risk, but Y Combinator owns all of ycombinator.com so that would constitute a registrable domain.

ngrok.io as you presumably knew but omitted to mention, is used by large numbers of different entities to build network tunnels, so it doesn't mean anything to have "ngrok.io" credentials any more than for "com" and WebAuthn won't allow that.

For now, for want of anything better, the PSL is used in browsers to figure out what counts and what doesn't, but the rule of thumb I described above will serve you very well.

We use “opacity” when referring to the alpha channel because that’s what the alpha channel measures. A high alpha value makes the pixel more opaque, a low value makes it more transparent (less opaque). Saying that a pixel with “transparency 0” is transparent and one with “transparency 255” is opaque would be far more confusing.

I haven't seen specific stories on yandex but for peace of mind I need my email with a provider in a jurisdiction with functional political and legal system.

Somewhat similar with data acces rights for the US secret services - I can't imagine anyone e.g. working for Airbus or Shell or even HSBC to feel comfortable using US services.

You have to read the methodology carefully. While I believe there's nonzero effect of the booster, you don't know that infection is measured with symptomatic numbers and you don't know that a subsymptomatic viral load isn't transmissible. As for policy, with the fact that getting vax + covid will give you better immunity than a vaccine-only regime in general (probably even more so with omicron), you don't know that it isn't strategically better to have vaccinated, low risk people get breakthrough infections and get immunity to omicron proper, and aggressively self-quarantine, versus getting a booster that omicron has evolved to escape.

And on this I concur with you, because if the sender of the email is actually sending spam and has ended up on some smtp-receiving deny lists for well founded reasons, they are indeed failing their customers. Failing them through their own lack of procedure and policy, such as not having a click to remove link in the mail, and not removing addresses/putting addresses into a scrub-before-sending list.

If that is the case, they have nobody to blame but themselves for that and should not be sending legal demands to other peoples' ISPs such as at&t or Comcast.

There are politicians that support the overthrow of US democracy and the instatement of a dictator. A really obvious example: Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor. He's said the US military should overthrow the government. Literally.. those are the words from his mouth.

Im not going to list a bunch of politicians... but Flynn will say it outright. So your assumption is clearly wrong.
I meet someone. I want to send them a WhatsApp message. I should be able to type their number into the “To” field, type the message, and press “Send”. Instead, WhatsApp makes me create a new contact in my phone, going through the 4-5 button presses to do that. Then I can start a chat with this new contact. Massively inconvenient.
That's brilliantly said!

The argumentation of typical crypto fan is like the motte and bailey fallacy mounted on a helicopter rotor, constantly oscillating between some noble goals (decentralisation, freedom, privacy, anti-inflation, anti-fractional banking) and the "have fun staying poor" snark.
> Coding is not fun. Unlike writing, which can be a very creative endeavour, coding is not

That's just like, your opinion, man.

I think coding is amazingly fun, I've thought so for 25 years, as a teen, as a college kid, as a grad student, and as an industry professional.
So you want encryption so criminals who would have otherwise been hung to be able to evade the law? It is pretty clear to me how a government may not approve of encryption for this usage.
> Coding is just a way of building something. Let’s forget that the term “code” really just means taking an existing algorithm, and implementing it in a programming language. It doesn’t mean solving the problem, nor creating the algorithm. It is just coding. But maybe that’s just part of the problem with how people misinterpret the act of writing programs.

I don't think that when people say "teach kids to code" they necessarily mean "teach kids to interpret descriptions of existing algorithms and write implementations"; it's a strawman argument.

But, anyway, coding someone else's algorithm requires thought. You have to adapt the description of the algorithm to the features of a programming language. You have to think about how that will fit with programs: the API, the naming and the manner of passage of data in and out and all that. It's not a bad exercise. It comes up in software development from time to time.

> Sure, you can use it to build games, but not exciting games at the level children are coding. Yeah these games would have seemed fun as a kid in the 1980s (when we were coding them in BASIC),

Games you were working on in BASIC as a kid "sucked" compared to the commercial games running on the same machine, yet were tons of fun to work on. Kids exploring programming positively don't think they have to produce a polished 3D title for a game console, complete with a huge world built of gigabytes of assets.

Just like people tinkering with woodwork don't think they have to replicate the Kiyomizu temple, and such nonsense thinking isn't the reason to cancel shop class.

Wyden (like Rand Paul) is the rare congressperson that, while I don't agree with all their views, tends to get certain fundamental freedom issues right, especially where other politicians don't on issues with a lot of money and special interest lobbying.

On any particular issue where Wyden goes against his Democratic party leadership AND Paul goes against his Republican party leadership to agree with each other, that's likely to be an issue where I agree with both of them. Too bad there's no way to vote for a 'virtual politician' that's the logic-gate intersection of those two.

In NL, the general recommendation [0] is that children shouldn't be given a booster shot since the benefits are marginal. Children (or their parents) may still ask for one and they won't be denied, but it's not automatic. My attempt at translating the report conclusion:

The direct health benefit from the booster shot for 12-17-year olds is very limited, even for high-risk individuals. Break-through infections with the Omicron variant are very mild and the chance of hospitalization for vaccinated teens is minimal. Similarly, the risk of developing MIS-C due to infection is deemed very small. Moreover the booster shot also carries the (very rare) risk of developing myocarditis. The European Medical Agency also has not officially weighed the booster benefits against the risks for teens, making its use effectively off-label.

In the same publication they make the following claims regarding booster effectiveness (for all age groups, not specifically teens):

- full protection (only asymptomatic infection) drops to 50-75% within four weeks, drops further to 25-40% after three months.

- protection against hospitalization due to Omicron is around 90%, drops to 75% after three months.

- vaccinated but not-boostered people still have 70-80% protection against hospitalization due to Omicron in the first six months, drops to 60% efficacy after that.

- Against the Delta variant, non-boostered people still have above 80% protection against hospitalization even after more than six months.

The citations for these claims are from NL,UK,IS and US, but only two have a hyperlink. If someone wants to hunt them down, they're cites 10,21,23,24,25,36,37 in the PDF linked from [0].

I made a little map visualization using the great Datawrapper tool on the front page:

note: there are a few inaccuracies. 7 people from "Vatican City" weren't counted because it wasn't recognized as a country. 3-4 people listing "Remote" or "Nomad" each were left of the map. I summed the counts from US states into one number using my poor JS skills, hopefully i got that right. Of course there may be other mistakes I don't know about :)
It isn't.. but here in reality they're forced to respond to requests by law enforcement for things such as CSAM -- this is the problem they were trying to solve with the on-device scanning. The plan was this would allow for backups they would not have a key to, and thus be unable to respond to law enforcement.
After spending so much time working, and nothing more it's understandable. But now that you know what's the problem, all you have to do is try solutions until it clicks. Traveling is nice, learning new skills also ...

Both parties have pretty wide dumb/authoritarian streaks, so it's not necessarily true that there are legitimate arguments in favor. The war on drugs, for example, had/has bipartisan support even though it is an ongoing demonstrable harm to society.

> Commentators are confusing fungibility and traceability. They are very different concepts.

No, I think the commentators and the author of the article are making a valid point that you’re missing: They may be fungible if you ignore everything else about the Bitcoin ecosystem and focus only on the blockchain ledger, but you can’t divorce the Bitcoin balances from their history. As regulations mount and exchanges become more active in recovering stolen coins, the practical reality of Bitcoin will mean that they’re not entirely fungible depending on the history.

I think many people in the comments are in such a rush to declare Bitcoin as fungible that they’re missing the point of the article.
My mistake. You’re right I could’ve made that comment without the personal swipe.

I was part of the spectrum of students who hated school and all subjects these schools covered. I do feel thankful for relatively strong reading and writing skills, which I credit my 5th grade English teacher and a technical writing instructor in college. All my other English and writing classes seemed useless. Even though I'm grateful for these classes today, I still hated them at the time. I feel that I would have hated any coding classes just the same. I would have put in the bare minimum to pass, and would have forgotten everything I learned before I had a chance to do anything useful with it.

If I were to talk to my past self about learning to code, that person would have protested about already having too much homework and difficult classes. Where would coding fit within a typical workload? Would it have to knock something else off the schedule? Would it add more homework?

Would it burn out young brains who already have to sit through nearly a full work day of classes? I already had Math teachers calling me out in class to make sure I was paying attention and I could solve problems they were working on. The language (Spanish for me) instructors wouldn't leave me alone. Thank goodness, the science instructor let me kick back and chill out. Sorry, coding instructor, I have no more mental bandwidth to deal with you.

School started to feel pointless after 10th grade (sophomore in high school.) Maybe learning to code fits best in those last couple of years when students are closer to graduating into the real world. But that's not really teaching kids to code at that point. That's more like prepping young adults with a potential technical skill they could use when they get released. Good luck to them getting a job if they don't go on to graduate college.

I don't know that teaching kids to code is worth the investment. They aren't going to retain much if they don't do it regularly throughout school. It's not important enough to be part of the core. On graduation, you would still have kids with no college degree and rusty coding skills, who would have to learn a lot on the job. Or you would have those who would go on to college and do well enough without having learned to code before college.

> Except that nobody thinks of nazis when reading pcmasterace, but you need to step out of your way and call out how you feel offended by a term that has no relation.

It’s exactly what I thought of reading it, which is why I reacted to it. The relation is that it’s a direct reference to the nazi concept.

> Given that you are offended by it, why don't you go back even further a call out slavery and racism in colonial times?

Like here? I do and have for decades. But if you need it for whatabouting to take seriously that referencing nazi ideology should not be part of a reasonable discussion about games, great, we’ll expand the discussion to include that. Nazism directly referenced American slavery, genocide of American Indians, and racist history generally as inspiration and prior art for their program.

It's not about your risk, it's about transmission to other people that have a much higher risk profile.

I'm think this is hugely simplifying the task at hand.

Approaches like this may work for urban planning and such things here on earth, where we DO know all the parameters and tech available and it's a creative problem to find a well balanced configuration. Simulating those known parameters and letting people play with it can then lead to valuable insight.

However the "city on Mars" problem is not such a "how should the streets be layed out" type of problem, but an issue of even inventing the tech to pull it off. So we do not even have a framework we could put in a game.

in short: If we had the knowledge required to create a simulation that would satisfy the requirements, we wouldn't need that simulation at all as this knowledge in itself is what we are still missing for "how to city on mars"
Will check this out. Thanks for sharing.

They already do.. they wanted to move that device side so they could allow encrypted backups without them having the key, and thus unable to respond to law enforcement. That was the plan here..
