Possibly but it's widely true for UK based tech companies and that's what this article was about.

Whether it's fair or not and treatment of employees is a whole other discussion.
This is not a good faith argument.

I've been extremely clear throughout this comment section - I don't want censorship, I don't think this should be banned, and nowhere have I called for legal consequences for releasing this. I want people to think about their actions, and to discuss the ethical issues arising from them.

And yet you've jumped to calling me morally corrupt because I want to murder craftsmen. That's not a reasonable reading of my comments, or in any way a proportionate response.

If you want to talk about chilling effects and the importance of science and reason, how would you describe your comments? You're shouting down discussion with wild accusations.

Hey that's very neat! This would be a fun thing to visualize as a webapp - even a single page that loads into a JS graphing library would be neat.
I don't 2FA my password manager and email because of the fear of being lock out of everything. I travel a lot and some country I can't received sms. What hapen if I got stole everything. Loose access to my email, bank account .. I don't event know people number because it's in my phone.
1Password “forces” (strongly suggests to) you to physically print a recovery kit with both your master password and secret key on it. I keep mine in a safe deposit box in another part of the city. Of course, losing access to this box is a concern, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I suppose I could also bury it somewhere remote too without the QR code or my identifiable information in it, or mail a copy to a family member.
That looks like bullshit, they don't say anything about their detection methods but looking for X-Powered headers is the only likely one. Modern installations simply don't expose that header anymore.
The 2017 Tubbs wildfire burned so hot that it melted fireproof safes, as I understand it. Something about 50-100mph winds and incompetent forest fuel management making the fire burn extra hot?
Citibank is well into the "Later on" part then. They have 200k employees and are in a heavily regulated industry, it's not some startup where you can make a meaningful difference with a cool MVP that you developed over the weekend.
First, I’m so glad this turned out to be hypothetical, and you didn’t have to suffer through such a catastrophic loss. Second, if you had actually suffered such a loss, your digital life would hopefully be the last thing on your mind, and you’d just be glad to have your life and your family - the only real things that matter in this world.

That said, planning a strategy for offsite data storage or a secondary authenticator is of course wise. A safety deposit box or other offsite location that you can frequently refresh and keep up to date would be a good investment. If you’re worried about keeping a master key to your life in a single place, you could separate your data and your authenticator. The how likely depends on your threat model, several people on this site may find it insufficient. To whatever degree you obfuscate or complicate your recovery path, you also increase the risk of losing access to it yourself.

You might also consider it’s not necessarily the “thing you have” that might go MIA, but due to physical injury, age, or just forgetfulness, the “thing you know” could also be at risk. I realize this the older I get. Finding a secure way to store a master password in the event you cannot recall it, or perhaps in the event of your death, is something you may also consider. In this case, I would avoid a cipher or something else you’re likely to forget.
I think I don't agree: I think the possibility of mixing rendering and logic is inherent to JSX. While users of the syntax can probably (deliberately) avoid mixing rendering and logic too much, there's no implementation of JSX that can prevent its users from mixing the logic and the rendering if they want to do so: it will always be possible for a user to mix the JSX tags with arbitrary Javascript because the full JS language is available in JSX tags and JSX tags can be used in Javascript code.

In contrast with HTML, where there is no way one can mix the logic and the UI because it is syntactically impossible. You have to get the DOM element from a script and to fill it data (well, actually, you can with the script tag and on* attributes, but let's consider HTML without them, only allowing script tags in <head> for instance so our restricted version of HTML remains useful).

I think you need the rendering to be data, not code, to "forbid" this mix (and soon enough, you reinvent some kind of lisp I guess)

You are conflating money and messages. It is perfectly compatible to argue, simultaneously, against cryptocurrencies, and for e2e encrypted messages.
Portless could be a pain for developers, if the only way to deploy/debug is wifi, and the only way to charge is a wireless charger (which may not be able to keep up with the discharge rate of a device being used to test a game/app all day)
I lost access to my bank account in UK because my token ran out of battery. The only way to fix this is to fly to London and show up in person. This is a pain because I can't even figure out my account balance - and this is something I must report for U.S. taxes.
A fire-proof safe is a safe which won't be destroyed by a fire.

That doesn't mean it won't heat up.
On the other hand, a protocol like HTTP was probably inevitable anyway. It just happened to be the one that won out.
Also expect hostility between teams. Everyone is competing against each other for their fluff to be noticed. Everyone is just looking to get promoted without caring if they're actually delivering anything useful. It just has to have the appearance of bringing value.
Delegating half of the problem to someone else is not what I’d call “completely solved”.

I suppose your point is, nobody should live a life where they can’t trust someone to keep that pdf for them, but it feels to me like solving a technical problem through social means. That’s a fresh take, but it also relies on so many assumptions.
While you're technically correct any authentication system worth it's salt would ideally see the same user trying to authenticate from two different locations, and prompt the second user for another factor of authentication (Email, etc.) And since TOTP expires it's not like they could sit on the token and use it later.
On second thought maybe the notifications weren’t push per se and it was just using the regular notification API with some web socket or long polling in the background.
This is the go to button for all kinds of functionality, not just sharing. It's weird that Apple decided to cram everything there, but I'm thinking people are now used to just having everything there.

On a personal level I'd rather not have any more banners on top of half a dozen or so that already plague a typical website.
The OP seemed to be saying that less intelligent animals have it made. It’s just us intelligent yet foolish humans who mess everything up.

My point was that ultimately, only intelligence will save us all. The dinosaurs tried the ignorance is bliss strategy.
My point is not that ethics don't matter, but rather that accessible deep fake technology has been on the verge of existing for years already. It was only a matter of time. You can have any ethical opinion about it that you want. But reality is that unverified video is no longer a trustworthy medium. If anything this software release makes that fact harder to ignore. We will have to adjust sooner rather than later.
Is there a halfway-modern port that is more robust? Hell, is it possible to make a port/adapter that you can't destroy by stepping on it?

I've personally destroyed VGA, PS/2, and ADB adapters by stepping on them in the past. (I've since gotten somewhat more careful, and haven't yet destroyed any USB or Lightning adapters the same way.)

How, exactly, do you propose that they design a port that you can't accidentally crush, aside from something dirt-simple like an 8mm headphone jack...?
Having no 2FA on your password manager is incredibly reckless. That and your email are by far the two most important things you own.

They will almost certainly be grandfathered in. Legislation nearly never retroactively applies to things created before the legislation itself.
This literally is saying that if someone compromises one of the passwords you use for all the important stuff like banking, they've literally just gained access to every important account you have which can be life changing in a very bad way.

Props on using four passwords instead of just one, though.
Well said.

> I find it much more likely that we would learn new physics by giving 10-year grants to 1000 young physicist of revolutionary spirit, and let them use the tools they could build themselves, than by handing that money to the old guard which has produced nothing of significance for the last two generations.

In my opinion, we are hitting diminishing returns.. It's harder to learn new things now than ever before. You need big machines to do anything interesting?
> you do theoretical physics by publishing in peer-reviewed journals and your peers decide whether what you are doing is worthwhile or not

No, science is not the act of publishing in a peer-reviewed journals, science is using past observations to make models that predict future observations, and then evaluating those models after making the future observations. Peer review is just the industry standard quality control mechanism.
Read the last paragraph.
This obviously requires you to have a yard, which is probably not that common for city dwellers (even people renting houses shouldn't really be digging up their yard, and if you live in a duplex quadplex, you're sharing that yard with some number of neighbours of varying trustworthiness)
Well Apple's priorities have always been:

1. Apple

2. Users

3. Developers

so they'll sacrifice developer experience with not a second thought.
> It's always weird to watch Office Space and see the guys all wearing ties. I can't imagine having to do that for a typical software job

I believe this changed in the early 2000s. The dot-com crash reset Silicon Valley. And the Enron scandal reduced corporate America's pull on it. (Steve Jobs wasn't an icon when business casual began taking its hold.)

Completely agree with these.

Another is “My company has been bought by private equity, who’ve given us N years to make the company profitable.” I’m not sure why it happens, but sometimes the recently purchased company goes on their own buying spree. (Maybe they’re given money to spend buying companies?) During the buying spree, the post-acquisition phase isn’t necessarily thought through and some companies get closed.
Have you considered the possibility that maybe he's simply advocating for a customer service representative who can reset your password in the sql database after verifying your identity, instead of going back on everything he's ever said and repudiating his life's work as a well respected security professional, and that perhaps Bruce Schneier is not just an unethical hack like the crypto bros he's criticizing?

Bruce Schneier explains why he's not coming on HN and explaining his apparently incongruous position to you:

Bruce> Honestly, I can't care very much about random conversations that misrepresent me. Life is too short.

Don> Am I right to presume you don't directly or indirectly advocate for backdoors, and your position on cryptocurrencies is not incongruous with that? ;)

Bruce> Of course not. I don't even understand how "blockchain is useless" has anything to do with backdoors.

Don> If so, could I share that fact, and have you written any articles about your position on backdoors that I could link to please?

UK power plugs want a word with you. Not that there won't be damage, but it's your foot that will be completely destroyed.
Ignoring human nature is far worse. There are people that will release this simply because you tell them no.

Even beyond that, if you're an authoritarian nation with a rather good lockdown on your news and internet, what's the downside of throwing tools like this at democracies?

In my view the age of tools like this has already been here for some time and they are going to their next step of evolution, and there is very little we can do about preventing the distribution of them without affecting other pieces of software and their distribution.
For most east cost financial companies VP is usually a mid level position. Many companies talk about VP roles as “senior” and “leadership” positions but then have poor role clarity and organization structures that make everyone in the organization behave 1-3 levels lower than their title suggests. Decisioning at these companies is usually reserved for a higher level of VP, SVP, EVP, etc.

Big west coast tech companies do seem to reserve VP for a select few. As they start to mature and their equity driven compensation gives way I’d be surprised if they don’t start to inflate titles as well.
What do you mean? I need both my Yubikey and my password to log in to my password manager. If my master password gets leaked somehow, they still need my Yubikey, which is on my person at all times.

The CIA could infiltrate my house when I'm sleeping and steal my Yubikey, but any other idiot on the internet that wants my data has no chance, which is what I'm most concerned about.
I feel like that's my kind of approach, but I guess you also need another kind of person to just keep drilling away at some weird little math problem that has absolutely no practical use for decades until it suddenly does.
Most of the safety driver aids seem to paper over incompetency and the fact that people can't put their phones down while operating a deadly vehicle. Been driving for 20+ years and no accidents. I also mainly drive older vehicles without any such tech save for ABS. Stay focused on the task at hand and be responsible. If you cant do that, then surrender your drivers license and use an alternative transportation method.

In Europe, and this is well known, companies must comply with the intent of the law, especially on something related to customers and compatibility. This is very very different from the US legal system, which can be tricked “ad nauseam”.

Apple may well do what they please but there will be fines, and even prohibition of sales. Because the EU “knows” that it can be done without much burden and “sees” it as a benefit for the citizens. I agree in this case on both things.
Yes I am going to hold onto this 2015 model as long as I can. I don't really care if this gets all the Ventura fancy features.

The keyboards are so durable, no matter how many times my 3 year old toddler slaps, throw or play, this machine just doesn't break.
Yes, but eventually that will normalize to a raise if the trial is made permanent, the reason they structure it like that is if they revert that the employees won't see it as a pay cut.
This all seems pretty short sighted. Great in the short term (I want a USB-C iPhone and for everything today to be USB-C) but will surely be a pain going forward - where would USB-C be if this policy had standardised on micro USB earlier? Some will say wireless is the future but I’m not convinced. Maybe the best solution would be to have this policy expire after a certain number of years?

It does stop innovation in things like lightning and MagSafe. And it doesn’t fix the multiple charger issue either, because so many manufacturers don’t adhere to the USB-C standard that any combination of charger + cable + device has an unreasonably non-zero chance of not working or even damaging the device.

So in the end we still have to have multiple chargers, but now we can roll the dice on which one works with or damages which device because they all use the same connector.

Lots of made up problems here.

Officials will provide you with replacement/temporary documents in a relatively short time, when you have lost them due to a fire or sth. else.

With those you can start rebuilding your infrastructure. Get new credit/debit cards, buy a new phone, get a replacement SIM from your provider, that way get access to your 2FA system again...

Yeah, it's inconvenient and will take some time, but it's not hopeless.

To note, our banking system is well part of our digital life. Europe has already a flurry of “real” banks that have no physical presence, and after a catastrophic loss you’ll need that access to your bank as soon as possible.

> The only practical reason for Lightning to survive is existing iPhone accessories

Do you have any vague idea how much money Apple makes from Lightning accessories? Every single thing that wants to use Lightning has to pay an Apple tax, and go through an incredibly cumbersome and expensive certification process. Letting that slip away from Apple's control means they lose a bit of control on their walled garden.

Meanwhile, MagSafe is also an environment for accessories they can control, and they can use as a way to extort fees from accessory developers. Apple has only one goal in mind - their margins. Everything they do must be seen in function of that. It's clear Apple is going to remove every single port from the iPhone, they only have to find how.
Also: the enabling of ransomware and other criminal activities.
> it's much easier to find excellent 3D modellers than it is to find people who can build with SDF though.

Maybe we simply need to develop a more intuitive domain-specific language for artists to work at this level of abstraction? The benefits of working this way are incredible to me... Just in that one presentation you find quotes like:

> Runtime performance not dependent on brush count
> O(1) particle<->SDF collision detection
> Perfect LOD
Keep in mind that microcontrollers is just one of the type of chips that the car industry, and others, are lacking. Supporting ICs like power management/voltage regulators, opamps, ADC/DAC's, motor/bridge drivers, interface ICs like CAN bus drivers have all been massively out of stock.

That said, as I understand it, a lot of the automotive microcontrollers are either specialized or they're part of an approved design. So switching them out is not trivial.

On top of that it's the case of not being automotive grade as mentioned already.
Well... The US Defense budget for 2021 alone is 7 times the money needed to build a new LHC (705 billion [1] for the US defense in 2021). Germany will spend a similar 100 billion dollars on weapons in the coming years. So while 100 billion looks like an amazing amount of money, the military spends this in the blink of an eye and without the slightest promise of a RoI...

This is a cop out. Yes, it is a matter of time, but still it takes people to build this stuff and they are rarely the people that use/abuse it.

No, video is no longer a trustworthy medium and in many ways never was.
The US doesn’t have that late, some states do, and it was out on at a time where the thought was to protect the downtrodden dealers
One way to circumvent this is to use a strong passphrase to deterministically generate the PGP/SSH key [1] to unlock other passwords. The SSH key could grant access to a remote server with backups and the PGP key could decrypt passwords using pass [2]. Of course, the "master" passphrase must be kept safe or remembered.
