Keep in mind that you need to put this in a server with DIMMs, power supplies, and disks. It will likely come out to $20-30k all in for one server depending on how much margin your system integrator wants. You probably want two in case the first one fails, and you may want as many as 3-4 for true 24/7 availability, plus a backup service.

The math still doesn't look too good for the cloud, though.
Not 100% sure I understand what you meant with "reflection" but to give a quick overview on data management:

Permify stores authorization data as relations in a database you prefer and perform access checks (and other queries as well) according to stored relations/authz data. And since user identities exist/stored in providers, they should be mapped Permify to store necessary authorization data/relations. So providers can feed Permify but not vice versa.

For more information about how we're managing authorization, check our docs: https://docs.permify.co/docs/getting-started/sync-data

I came back to Python after several years, and there's type-checking now, which we're required to use at work. Way to ruin the entire point of Python.

Also, Python's async stuff was always terrible until they introduced the new async/await feature, but I suppose that's part of the "many ways to do the same thing" you mention. They should've done it from the beginning IMO, but it was hard to predict maybe.

I see a few obstacles with Passkeys as-implemented:

* They effectively entrust the keys to your entire digital life to (right now) either Google or Apple. Account compromise, or a ToS-related suspension, becomes catastrophic.

* Domain changes happen (acquisitions, rebrands, etc.), and there is no way to share or migrate passkeys between domains. Right now the best you can do is a highly manual process involving the user authenticating on the old domain, registering a new credential on the new domain, and somehow linking them. This process itself could be highly vulnerable to interception, since every site would likely have to build a bespoke way of doing it.

* There's no way to migrate your passkeys between ecosystems. So if you're an iPhone user, and all your logins are iCloud Passkeys, it becomes really hard to switch to Android.

* Password-sharing is regrettably used a lot right now, but it's the simplest thing that works. For example, I and my husband have a shared 1Password vault for things like utility and streaming account logins. Right now none of the Passkey syncing providers support anything like that (and I feel like they won't, because it'd be a huge vector for scams).

I think the password is going to stick around until these issues are addressed.

Yeah I "am worried" about NYC. The decrease in office use maps to decrease in "I have to live here because of work" just as the eroding quality of life is decreasing the "I live here because I want to."

So the trend over time will be that folks left in NYC are increasingly poor with no other options, completely eroding the tax base and sending the city into a spiral. I didn't live here in the 70s but I expected something similar.

In the early 2000s-2010s there was an interesting trend of adults moving to the city and raising kids there vs the burbs. I think that's over and done with, everyone with money and energy seems to be moving to the burbs if not to Florida.

Good things tend to happen at the interface. Monocultures (large numbers of brains synchronized in identical thought patterns) stifle these orthogonal, non-conforming dimensions that help expand our perceptive abilities.

At the same time identity that looks outwards and engages with others in confidence is like a wellspring that doesn't stop giving. I like to think that Carlo Rovelli carries the torch of such open and inquisitive Italian minds, from Antiquity through Renaissance and Enlightenment.

From the wiki, coercion is distinguished by things like:

> the intent, the willingness to cause harm, the result of the interaction, and the options available to the coerced party

If the intent is to get people to hand over sensitive data knowingly violating the law and putting people at risk because it makes things easier for the company, I think there's a case to be made that it is coercion. White castle employees aren't exactly known for having a ton of "options available" either. I doubt very many employees have dreamed of working there because of their passion for steamed meats or love for the company. Seems like more of a "when I have zero other options" kind of career move to me.

I'm with you here and have been parroting this in just about every Webauthn thread on HN, except maybe with the exception that I think it's password manager vendors who are more interested -- several of them have joined the FIDO alliance in the past year.

I think having an open sync fabric that is vendor agnostic will be important going forwards. Users have a multitude of devices, usually not from the same vendor, and hybrid transport is not enough to mitigate the fact that sync fabrics are not interoperable.

The risk is that password manager vendors will end up implementing virtual authenticators backed by software instead of a secure element like a Yubikey, Secure Enclave or TPM. I'd be interested in the the FIDO Alliance helping bring OS APIs to leverage secure elements to import and export key material that belongs to a particular third-party fabric. It's clearly a sensitive issue because establishing trust between devices, and thus a sync fabric, is a strong phishing target. I also speculate that password manager vendors (e.g. 1Password) and authenticator vendors (e.g. YubiCo) could mutually benefit from agreeing on some APIs to establish trust between authenticators and allow import/export, bypassing the OS vendors.

> As a result, Apple's ecosystem is shaping social decision-making, with particular emphasis on the importance of iMessage as a social signal, necessitated by inferior experiences messaging and using group chats via SMS.

This really hits the nail on the head and is the absolute key factor in the US. And it's not because of the "blue/green" bubble that the media often likes to play up. It's because if you're in a group chat, everything works great for everyone if all the participants are on iOS in iMessage. The minute you get an Android user (and I'm speaking as the Android user in this situation), it sucks for everyone, NOT just the Android user: photos and videos get degraded, messages randomly get dropped, emoji reactions don't work as well, etc. I'm well into middle age and have been told by friends "Just get an iPhone" when I join group chats on vacation.

iMessage really is the moat that is impossible to breach without government regulation. Folks in other countries don't notice it as much because they tend to use other platforms like WhatsApp or something else for group chats.

I'm way too old to answer but anyway... I regularly come back to Android to see how it evolves, it's some kind of masochistic behavior that I have, or maybe because I'm a developer and I like comparison.

My last Android (2 years ago, a Pixel phone, the real deal) was full of annoyances, the official "apps" were incoherent (every app has its own hidden settings' page with a different look, and there a hundred of those pages), and the worst was that I found DEBUG_STRINGS_WITH_UNDERSCORES in one page.

iOS is a walled garden, but at least it doesn't entice me to throw my phone outside the window.

Edit: last but not least, since I had to buy a brand new Google phone (to get an up to date OS), I remember that it was twice as expensive as my current iPhone...

> a lack of a social safety net

That is so easy to disprove. SF spends 1.1B on homelessness (more than 50K per homeless person). Federal government spends 6-700B on medicaid (health services for poor). California's 2022-23 spending plan provides over $25 billion from the General Fund for human services programs.

Maybe, you can complain that that spending is "inefficient", but that becomes a political barb-trading after that.
That is not what I said. Of course we should strive for precision, corectness etc. but that does not mean that current and future imprecise methods of development do not hold any value.

This reminds of the concept of D.I.E. that we use in the social sciences, describe, interpret, and evaluate. It is important to separate the stages clearly, because if you interpret while describing, this taints your observations. Evaluate can be seen as a precursor to action, because it is from the implications where science then moves forward.

>"There is no reason anyone should ever pay full price for any non-Apple laptop, because they all make annoying trade-offs that are only acceptable when you buy them cut-rate."

I buy gaming laptops from ASUS. All are solid, last forever and even though I bought those new were very reasonably priced. Other than not being paper thin I see no trade offs but I will not pay extra for thin laptop anyways. I use those as portable desktops so the size does not matter. What does matter is that they have proper cooling and can work at 100% performance for hours non-stop without thermal throttling.
I'd argue that iMessage is one of the most monopolistic elements of the iPhone. With their market share as large as it is, and with only one remotely viable competitor, they should be forced to open up an API allowing other people to create clients.

What does Google have? What direction are they going? Hard to say.
Exactly. The problem we mostly face now is we're building just to build/demanding that parking is built just because and we haven't examined the underlying assumptions or reasons for why we're mandating parking. It's really predicated on the idea of a car-only infrastructure but as we work to repair our cities we have to question that assumption and provide alternative mobility options so that our infrastructure isn't super fragile.
