My reaction as well. From Google's FAQ:

I don't like this. Time will tell if Google's implementation will be open source, and if third parties can hook into the OS level integration. I certainly don't like the lack of emphasis on interoperability from the get go.

Eye masks are also a valuable travel hack. Hotels tend to have LED light coming from different places - smoke alarms, clocks, key card slots etc - and it's always a gamble how much sunlight gets through the windows. It's much easier to put on an eye mask than worry about how to black out the room.

Similar story with any form of transport, where the various light sources are largely outside your control.

The newer "3D" eye masks provide full blackout and stays on without much trouble. Well worth keeping in a travel kit alongside earplugs.

I agree most people ignore the difficulty of estimating run risk, which is what actually killed these banks.

However, this isn't really an all or nothing situation. There is are material reasons why some banks will make it through this just fine while others will fail, despite all running on the same fractional-reserve system and buying the same securities.

Some will be right about their customer flight risk estimates, and others will be wrong. How much of this is due to better models or just luck is anyone's guess.

I guess it doesn't take long to fall back on old habits when you're in the trenches though. A lot of translated intercepted calls posted at https://www.youtube.com/@insightsfromukraineandrussia and reports from the front line talk about drunk Russians like it's an epidemic of alchoholism. They also talk about drunk Ukrainians on another one of the podcasts I follow so it's not only the Russians drinking on the front line.

That being said, I have a few Russian friends that immigrated years ago to Florida and they're not big drinkers. They were all from well off families though. Kinda like here, I suspect alcoholism follows poverty.
There's got to be some more regulation around advertising in general. I just don't see how it adds anything to the world that even begins to compensate for the damage. It should be like cigarettes, something we used to see as a legitimate business but decided we're really just better off taxing the heck out of and boxing into very limited places.

I agree with your advertisement of your viewpoint.

> In principle I agree, but some service providers like banks are legally liable for fraud losses (at least in some jurisdictions). I'd say they do have a legitimate interest of being able to verify which authenticators they trust.

I have yet to see a bank use login restrictions to make itself more secure. I've been trying to get my bank to offer actual 2FA for years, and their response is that they moved from offering SMS/Email codes to only offering SMS codes.

A bank should not have control over what authenticator app I'm using. Their authenticator apps that they do have are terrible and my security would be improved if I could just use a simple 2FA app. In practice, this is just a way to make it so that DeGoogled devices, Linux devices, etc... won't be able to interact with normal services because they're "less secure". And the companies saying that will be the same ones asking me for authentication over the phone via my mother's maiden name. They don't need this, they're not technically qualified enough to have this level of control over what devices I use.

I honestly don't think attestation should have been part of the spec at all. There is an extremely narrow range of instances where knowing what client/hardware/OS someone is using is justifiable, and in almost all of those instances you should probably be directly controlling the hardware itself (providing a phone for your employees, installing a kernel module, etc...)

And there's nothing official to discourage companies from using attestation other than some vague "but don't do this if you don't need to" language. It's a bad idea that will be used to restrict people's control over their own devices that they own.

At least today these services all offer websites so I can still log on and use them without installing an app. But with attestation we're moving towards a future where you won't be able to log into your bank unless you own a "supported" Android device or an iPhone, and rooting those devices will mean that you don't have access to online banking services all of the sudden.

I guess we maybe differ here on what would constitute success for suppression. I see it as a "success" because the law stood for so long despite being pretty apparently unconstitutional. It is fair to see it as a failure since it eventually was overturned. Maybe the crux here is I probably agree with you that permanent suppression is impossible but temporary is super doable and temporary can be a fairly large fraction of a human lifetime so I still count it
Ok, i wasn't specific enough, that's on me.

My previous phone was a Xiaomi. Part of the reason they're cheaper than competitors with similar hardware is because that thing is filled to the brim with useless ads, extra tracking way beyond just crash analytics for the manufacturer and the regular google stuff and even some useless "phone booster" app embedded in the settings.

After waiting the two weeks so Xiaomi would allow me to unlock the bootloader (which is bullshit, by the way), i installed LineageOS.

The problem is that the regular updates with security patches sometimes would cause a boot loop. Some times is something as simple as a system file becoming read only, sometimes no thread on XDA developers could guide me to the right solution, and then i just do a factory reset and start over.

But aside from flashing lineage and an ad blocker, my usage is the same as anyone else: answer calls, use messaging apps, browse the web, play games and edit some documents when i'm far away from my PC.

My current phone is a motorola, though, and while i think the official ROM is pretty disappointing (too many pop ups nagging me to sign up to motorola or check motorola apps), as long as i can flash magisk and an ad blocker, i'm a happy person.

> Disappointing that these leaders are able to stick their feet in the mud so deeply without any journalistic criticism.

They seems to be playing along. The general rhetoric in the media is very one-sided: fall in line with the employers or prepare to get fired.

There is some truth to one argument he makes. When you are managing teams 100% remotely, there is a real risk of losing visibility. You have to actively engage with higher ups (not just your boss) and do showcases to stay relevant.

It’s not much different from office culture in large companies. But being remote-only in a hybrid culture makes it hard to pick on the “vibe” and course correct. You need to be very proactive about staying visible and relevant.
> Emulating “accurately” is so difficult that not even Nintendo’s Game Boy emulator on the Switch does it properly.

The NSO emulators on Switch are particularly terrible, worse than past iterations on Wii etc. at least for some systems, for no obvious reason other than Nintendo being lazy and/or not preserving past emulation work on other systems and not wanting to reuse open source solutions.

I never mentioned about saving up $250k to buy a house entirely in cash. I said working 30 years to acquire a $250k house. It's about protecting value of your hard work - your equity. And regardless, it was hyperbole to show why prices rise when money is freely given out.

I'm not sure I follow? They were not wearing a mask in all treatments, such that it isn't like they were relying on tricking people by having a mask that didn't actually block light.

I agree that it could be something other than the mask. For instance, it could be that it is the simple matter of having them try something that led to an increase. But I'm not as clear on how this is an obvious "flaw" with the study.

Or are you saying you would want the double blind to fully rule out light, and we would be back to asking "why did the masks do something?"
Either your comment wasn't responsive to Georgelemental's or you implicitly made some version of that claim.
That commenter is mistaken. The QR code is for authenticating on your computer via your phone over Bluetooth. It does not export the token to be used by another authenticator, you have to have the device with the Passkey anytime you use this QR code method.

I'd suggest that ~5% is monetarily neutral and roughly the correct rate for pricing time/risk, it only seems high compared to the zero rates we've had recently. It may have to go (much?) higher for a (long?) period to fix the current inflation situation.
I’m not aware of banks as friendly today towards venture debt (really small business loans) as SVB et al were. There was probably a bubble in lending there in part due to crypto fraud. (VCs of course want this marketed as the Fed disrupting their house of cards through raising rates).

Will start-ups just issue more equity? It could be more likely they simply fail to raise anything.
I think we risk stunting the development of the next generation if we insist that they use the metaphors that made sense to an earlier generation. I say we stand back, let the next generation figure out their own ways of doing things, and expect to be impressed at what they accomplish. If nothing else, being optimistic like that is more appealing to me than lamenting a supposed dumbing down as innumerable generations before us have done.

Edit: This is one reason why I as a forty-something will probably not attempt to teach any of my nieces and nephew (8 years old and under) to program. The generation gap between me and them is too big.
GPT doesn't work that way. Any such shell would have to send a GPT request for every single keystroke, and you'd hit the API ratelimit very quickly. It would also be very expensive.
I like this idea, as well as the irony of the original study being not blind. ;)

Another possibility might be to design the functionality into the mask itself. When it detects the user is asleep, it could open up to let in light (or not) based on which cohort the user is in.

The detection could be done by having sensors in the mask itself, or it could just pair with the user's existing fitness/sleep tracker of choice via Bluetooth.

Pointless to compare those toy computers against cherry-picked modern desktop which is the equivalent of an old supercomputer. Indeed if you look at the numbers for the older workstations: SGI Indy, NeXTcube, Symbolics 3620 they are not that different and even worse than the newer machines. 30ms is not remarkable these days, with proper gaming keyboard, gaming monitor, config etc. you can get 5ms or less for the whole chain.

A good argument can be made that our lack of a unified morality (or at least more unified than today) led to better individual outcomes.

Sure there are aspects that needed to progress for a better change, no doubt about it.

But without a moral framework, many are either reluctant or ignorant of the extra work involved in making moral choices for oneself, and aiming not to succumb to a fad ideology (this goes for both sides), a false god as it were.
GP is saying the participant knows they are/are not wearing the mask when they go to sleep and this could skew the results, e.g. by expecting to get a better night’s sleep via the sleep mask, they experience less sleep anxiety, sleep better, learn better.

This tells you something different than “ambient light while sleeping negatively impacts learning.”
Don't be so quick to dismiss it. Afaiu, (one of) the problems they intend to address is the (all too common) case of breach of security at the server where large number of passwords are stolen. The public part of a passkey, i.e. the one stored on the server, is worthless to an adversary.

That's only one plausible ending to the universe, while perhaps favored, certainly far from being determined.

Then there's handwaving about given a large enough time scale energy should randomly concentrate enough to 'restart' the universe or something silly along those lines.

For myself I like the notion of the universe starting from a breaking of symmetry of whatever base form of energy the universe is built out of.

This allows for scattering of information, increasing diversity and complexity of the system, while also not adding or creating any new energy.

So if the universe can start in a place of equilibrium I'd imagine after heat death leads to a static state then 'restarting' is possible since it's happened at least once.
