This will increase the difference between the haves and the have-nots. Students with parents who care about education will make sure they do good work. These students will be more likely to develop good study habits that they will need later in life. Students whose parents don't care will make use of the lenient system and will not learn good study habits. When they get to a school or university that doesn't do soft grading, they will be in for a rude awakening.
I think more-and-more the culture angst isn't against building but rather ownership and equality;

As in, you might be willing to build, but soon you might be frustrated that you don't see much of the fruits of your labor in terms of mobility or rewards.

The pushback against the capitalist class is real and growing amongst the younger generations.
Hi! You should have ten minutes to solve a puzzle on your first "loop". Once you finish solving all puzzles in a given loop, you will have 5 minutes on your next attempt. I'm curious if you're actually seeing 15 seconds ?

Netflix: ”You get two parallel streams with your family. Family means trust and password sharing.“

Customers: “Farewell pirating. We pay a fair flat and it is automatically shared between Netflix and artists. Great!“

Netflix: “We increase the flat permanently. And we have now competitors and doesn’t over anymore all relevant content (e.g. Star Trek Picard, Expanse, Disney). How about ruining it and blocking family members with heuristics, geoblocking, per-device-checks and so on?“.

Customers „I’m done.”

THE END

We accepted and used the fair system. And you tease us with DRM? And HDCP? Increasing rates? And now you block our family members?

I wouldn’t be surprised if artists (filmmakers, musicians…) create a common fair streaming platform. Let us name it “United Artists“ ;)
OAuth is easy in 2023. The problem is that OAuth does essentially nothing of interest by itself. It's a way to pass scoped access tokens.

That's it. That's the end of the spec.

If you want to do anything with those tokens, you need to implement against other APIs the provider makes available. Unless all of those APIs are also standardized, it means implementing a bunch of stuff for each integration. And now things are no longer easy.
It's hard to get your head around the idea that there was a time when there was no grass, no trees or other plants. Really interesting.
Yes, but there are only about 24 German nouns that form their plural just by adding two little dots like that (Umlaut). Four of them mean close relatives and are recognisable to English speakers: Vater, Mutter, Bruder, Tochter.

A while ago I came across an ancient copy of "Teach Yourself German" printed around the start of the Second World War. The very first chapter had a list of those German nouns that form their plural just with an Umlaut and instructed the reader to learn them. I bet you won't find many books published today that start like that. I like to think there are still a few people around who learnt German by reading that edition, perhaps during an air raid.
Why is the comment downvoted? Animal suffering is a legitimate moral concern, and I don't think the comment is inappropriate. Instead of downvoting, a better approach would be to point out to the author that Harvard has apparently a policy towards animal studies [1] that is worth exploring further.

They effectively have all of those things already. You don't need a key to enter a house or a car, and they can get anything they want from your bank and email provider with a subpoena.

I agree that giving law enforcement a universal key that can defeat all encryption would be a monumentally stupid idea, but it's not actually necessary to enable them to bypass encryption on specific devices. As far as I can tell, privacy activists have just made up the fact that law enforcement wants a universal key because it's easier to argue against that than to argue in favor of their actual position.
That sounds quite specific. It is talking about the "one in five" thing.

It may, indeed, be false, but I'm not sure if that Snopes thing is really saying that. It's talking about a fairly specific example.
Example: What is the purpose of OAuth having specifications for redirect URI allowlist AND PKCE?

None. They are entirely duplicative features.

But ... reason, reason, reason ... they both exist, and are going to exist, forever.

EDIT: I should say, PKCE is a functional superset of redirect URI allowlist.
Ok, we've replaced giant mushrooms with prototaxites in the title above. Thanks!

1. Desire - what do you want to accomplish?

2. Research - what is required to accomplish your goal? Can you find similar examples?

3. Build - pick the smallest part of the goal and try to make it work.

4. Repeat, with smaller and more iterative goals.

If there are no tutorials, find something similar, reverse engineer it (or read the source of available), and try to copy it.
> I think another point about this is how someone is socialized or raised by their parents.

Speaking as someone who went through grad school, there is an enormous amount of information that no one will tell you about unless you know to ask. Otherwise, they'll just assume you know. Basic parts of how academia works are not really explained or communicated to new grad students. So people with parents in academia, or with prior experience, can offer their children huge gains by simply explaining how certain processes work or what it actually means to excel as a grad student to prepare for the job hunt. It's not always "do good research", it could also be "make sure you make a relationship with so-and-so". Asymmetrical information can be a powerful explainer and tool.
> Luckily, FIDO2 can fix a lot of these problems. People who don't have significant security needs can use a trusted service (currently Apple, Google, and a few small companies) rather than a physical device.

And from the article:

> “If I'm Google implementing passkeys, I cede a lot of control to Apple if my user is on an Apple device, I cede a lot of control to Microsoft if the user is on a Windows device, I cede a lot of UX control to Android and browsers,”

To me it sounds like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. seizing the last bits of control away from the average person. Everyone will be absolutely beholden to a few big tech companies. Using a fake name or birthday on accounts will be unthinkable because a locked account will mean losing access to your life and the only way to get it back will be to verify your identity which better match the info you provided initially.

We used to have outrage over things like using real names and now we've somehow fallen to the point where everyone is going to mindlessly accept a scheme that could easily morph into verified identities managed by private companies. Participating online will require a verified identity and everything you do will be mapped back to it.
Spot on, my boy. A lot of folks see this as a consumable like music and should be a free commodity. I akin this to free music for download and the death of an industry. A NEW industry popped up and gave us streaming music and there was no longer a need to OWN music. Artists were also given tools to expand their music on every platform w/ very little investment.

The shared resource thing, is just Netflix turning a blind eye, because their business model worked for a time and allowed this to happen. Now that DVDs are all but dead, this was the next logical business revenue model that needed a revamp.

How can anyone blame Netflix for FIXING a loss leader in their business line(s)? We all run and work for start-ups .. its the natural progression of finances at scale.
Goodbye to the Dried Office Mangoes
As much as the USSR was an unpleasant character. Stating “thanks to the Us and the Uk” without mentioning the role of the red army in the victory against nazi germany is vastly inaccurate.

Just the fact that Germany had to handle two fronts, one of them exclusively fought by USSR should be an indicator of that.

Recent unwrapping of historical communication also show that the US army decide to use nuclear weapon on Japan to end the war; not that much because dragging war is bad for civilian. But also because the red army was starting to pivot to the Asian front. Being done with Europe.

Also, I was mainly talking about village / neighborhood knowing each other and not being as divided as here. But that’s still an interesting point.
> Mastodon starts slurping up content from it to fill the third tab on the home screen with content.

Your statement is a hint to the problem.

From what I find on the Internet, you can still communicate/follow people on other servers without getting their timelines. It's just that the default setting is to pull everything from those relays and you need to disable it.

With that setting, you'll get everything people you follow on other instances, but not more. The "Federated timeline" tab will remain empty.
Croquet has been around for quite a while now, but more "meta verse" 3d focused to my knowledge.

I think it's really smart & sharp to take collaborative/multi-player tech like that & use it for much more app like purposes like this. Whiteboard here looks good. The networked "virtual Dom" is indeed an exciting concept.

Different topic but it makes me think a little bit of @mpweiher's In-process Rest, where I imagine the cloud having canocial Dom pages floating around inside the data center, & references & modifications to these documents being not unlike client side alternations, just to the official authoritative doc, not the client page. (there's definitely creative reinterpretation & selective focus here, with IPR being more about resourcefulness than Dom but I think there's real connections across, that I'm not being wholly unfair).

Then... Just syndicate the current version of the doc out. Now you have the networked virtual Dom croquet has here.
> opted out of requiring auth

the decisions on which basis the user opted out from auth was that they believed the links where obscure/private enough to be "non discoverable" (enough)

for example let's say your link is `example.invalid/documents/samcea45pwmcwwn325ewaruvon4pepwrm8euwawuvuer8u` and there is no non-authenticated index/listing available

under normal circumstances you could argue that this long id is comparable to a "simple" shared password i.e. knowing is a very weak form of authentication, except it doesn't have the same degree of protection wrt. storage, logs etc. But good enough for non-public non-secret data.

that is until you browsers without you knowing it or explicitly agreeing to it starts creating that index which shouldn't exist _and_ pushes it to a search machine...

(or a you have a virus infection which installs a link scrapper , now that I think about it edge pretty much acts like a virus in this case, lol)

EDIT: A example for a well known user of such links: Google. E.g. drive shear links: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/some-ver-long-id?usp=...

Similar such links are all the time used for account setup or password reset, too.

There is nothing wrong with them, and intentional mall ware would likely be able to scrap whatever you additionally add to secure a shared link without password.

There is _a lot_ wrong with what edge is doing.

If edge would be hardware it would need to be destroyed in some countries because it counts as unauthorized spying device (but that law was never updated to the digital age).

I cancelled my NYT subscription a couple of years ago and had to chat with customer "service" to cancel. One of the things they asked me about was keeping the crossword subscription ($20/year), which I might have done. But I was so irritated by the annoying process that I just wanted to cancel everything. So they definitely lost money thanks to their "customer retention" tactics.

the expectation is that we won't be prompting this models the way we do now down the road. As in: prompting is the command line of LLM, at some point we'll get the equivalent of a GUI (either because we can be clueless on how to prompt because the LLM is so good, or it's so good at eliciting your requirements, or because there is no prompt at all and you interface with the LLM completely differently)

You could foresee that under the covers there is always going to be some prompting but it's going to be performed rarely by few people?

Yeah, Dean's fault is hiring such people in the first place. If you hire an activist, you get activism. And if you hire someone whose livelihood depends on finding more problems, well, they will scream more problems, one way or another.

I hope they spend some on decent English dubbing. They’ve had some interesting shows but captions aren’t great for background watching and the current dubbing is like 16 year old reading their English essay in front of class
> The problem is the human not understanding what the human wants/thinking it knows what it wants but being wrong.

This is really the essence of why most software development is hard. Aside from a few problems whose solutions can be mathematically or logically defined, programmers are working on software to do things humans want to do to affect the external world in some may. They're what Meir M. Lehman calls E-programs: programs to model human and social activities. The program becomes part of the world it models, e.g. air traffic control.

Acknowledging the inability of humans to understand what they want shows the folly of trying to get all the requirements "up front" before starting the coding.
Yeah, barring some compelling argument otherwise, I'd think the mortgage-holder is the one owed money here, and since it seems like most states make this system work without keeping profit from sales, I'm skeptical that compelling argument exists.
"Occasional" is a vast understatement. Yes, you had to have a prescription but you could get that by phone, without getting an appointment. Or the doctor would give you a prescription "just in case" when you were in for some other reason or with something obviously viral.

Oh, and "In 2014, 266.1 million courses of antibiotics are dispensed to outpatients in U.S. community pharmacies. This equates to more than 5 prescriptions written each year for every 6 people in the United States." (Which is somewhat later than the time I was thinking about.) (https://www.cdc.gov/antibiotic-use/data/outpatient-prescribi...)

For comparison, that page links to annual reports:

* 2011: "Healthcare providers prescribed 273.3 million antibiotic prescriptions—equivalent to 877 antibiotic prescriptions per 1000 persons." (https://www.cdc.gov/antibiotic-use/data/report-2011.html)

* 2021: "Healthcare professionals prescribed 211.1 million antibiotic prescriptions—equivalent to 636 antibiotic prescriptions per 1000 persons." (https://www.cdc.gov/antibiotic-use/data/report-2021.html)
Yep, they're forgetting that convenience is really all they offer to an individual customer. Pirating a show is still very easy, and if you want to support the creators of the show, buying their box set off of Amazon or whatever other storefront isn't too hard and cuts out the middleman. The only reason I tolerate their skimming from the people that actually create the content I watch is that it makes the process of both watching the content and supporting the creators of the content totally painless. As soon as pirate then buy boxes becomes easier again, that's what I suspect a lot of people will go back to.
Now that's impressive. Yow.

Sounds like XMOS. The problem is you end up paying the extra cost of doing things in software but 99% of the time you just want a completely standard I2C, SPI, UART, AXI or whatever.

I think it's because the idea of culture is deeply offensive to individualistic Americans. Individual outcomes must either be the result of starting conditions (parent income/education/etc), or individual effort. Either way, you can think of each person individually, in terms of those variables.

For people used to that model, it makes no sense to talk about "culture"--where outcomes depend on groups of individuals reinforcing norms. My parents both have masters degrees, most of their friends have at least a masters degree. They're still upset my brother never got past his bachelors (even though the reason he didn't is that he went from an Ivy into finance). When my parents get together with their friends they talk at length about where their kids are on the educational/career ladder. If you have the slightest inclination to follow the herd and care about what your parents think (which most kids do) then of course culture has a tremendous impact.

Dark was terrific. Time travels and parallel worlds. Deutschland '83 (in particular) but also '86 and '89 were quite decent - about a young German becoming a Stasi superagent of sorts.

Oh, and while you're at it, get Das Boot if you haven't already, also available as a TV miniseries.

As for movies, you could do a lot worse than picking up a few Wim Wenders movies - say, Der Himmel über Berlin or Alice in den Städten.

Oh, if you pick up Der Himmel über Berlin, consider picking up In weiter Ferne, so nah! as well. Same universe, but more run-of-the-mill than Himmel über Berlin, which is probably the most poetically beautiful movie I have ever seen.
OAuth is a way to obtain scoped access tokens.

There's already at least one person in these comments trying to escalate the things you mention - including the sea life and migratory bird patterns - into something far more than the nothingburger it currently is.

I don't like Musk - in fact, I largely loathe him - but that doesn't mean I have to loathe literally everyone else at SpaceX, too.
The bar for gifted and other enrichment is set so low, it's not going to do much. The push for egalitarianism and inclusion means lowering of standards. It used to be an IQ of at least 125 or so was needed to be accepted for gifted programs. Even then, only a small % of gifted kids actually study math, and of those ,even a smaller % get good enough to become competent engineers. Sorta like high school sports...only a tiny % become pro level.

Wow.

Fine for what?

Gag order? Does not help them.

Legality? That would count, if it was something I could order them to do, but again, what do you think would happen there?

"Dear Google, we know you have user TechBro8615@gmail.com, could you please:

- Go through all your data, and gather which Accounts for which services TechBro8615 has

- Go through all these accounts TechBro8615 has with every possible service and reset all his passwords with these accounts (without him noticing)

- And use the second factor TechBro8615 has to login

- Make a user data takeout for all the data TechBro8615 has with all these services

- Create an index of this data, because, well we ask you to, although we can't make you do that

- Tell us if TechBro8615 likes Cranberry juice???

Legality does matter, if you request something from third parties. Why on earth should Google ever cooperate beyond step 1? Would you do that?!
AFAIK in Norway (all of EU?) you need Internet in order to fly close (regulated, not closed, airspace) to an airport - the drone self-reports position and id to air traffic control, so they don't show up as unidentified blip on their radar.

In my home town basically the entire air space is regulated due to the location of the airport/flight paths.
I guess one issue with that is that it’s not going to play nice with data migrations.

Personally, I’m happy with declaring my tables in sqlalchemy and having alembic do the grunt work. Allows me to work in the declarative way you describe while also making it easy to handle the data migration component.
I'm not arguing that she definitely, slam dunk, would have been included had she lived. I'm arguing that she couldn't even be considered due to having died beforehand.

Scientific recognition tends to come in old age or posthumously. She's getting hers posthumously.

That's not some bizarroland weird statistical outlier that only happens to women due to sexism denying them credit during their lifetime.

Gregor Mendel is remembered as the father of genetics. His work wasn't recognized until 30 years or so after his death.

Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of plate tectonics. It didn't gain acceptance until 20 years or so after his death.
Ooohh umm...no transaction?
