Annoyingly, there's no description of the composition of the glass nor the manufacturing process, it could be transparent rubber for we know.

"The researchers explained that the limits of LionGlass have not yet been found, because they reached the maximum load allowed by the indentation equipment."

Equally vague and obscure. (Surely they could use a guesstimate, when one's test equipment runs out of range there are usually workarounds. Although not as accurate, they at least provide a ballpark measurement.)

Also, the article mentions only crack resistance but nothing about scratch resistance (they're not necessarily the same). I wonder why.
"safety" is such a wrong term for what they're trying to achieve that it makes me wonder if it's not just a PR stunt.

GDPR question box implementations reveal the true values of implementors. Here are simple heuristics:

1.a is there "accept all" but no "reject all" on the same block, equally weighted and styled identically?
1.b
2. does the question keep coming up regularly when one answers "reject all" but never again as soon as one answers "accept all"?
3.a is the question box modal i.e blocks access or interaction with content?
3.b is the question box non-modal but obscures most of the content?
3.c is the question box non-dismissible or very hard to dismiss?
4. is the question box starting with "We value your privacy"?

re 1. Often there's only a "manage choices" button next to "accept all", and "reject all" is either way down the scaling area of a small modal or entirely absent.

re 2. This is most infuriating, e.g "reject all" cookies having an expiration of 24h and "accept all" cookies having an expiration of 10 years, enticing people to click "accept all" out of pure STOP-PESTERING-ME rage.

re 3. This is equivalent to not answering, and not answering must be treated as if "reject all" was picked, except the choice may not be stored since no explicit choice has been given. Transparent background + 2% opacity light grey crosses outside the question box (either near top right or outright stuffed on top right of the whole browser viewport) overlaid on main content's white background come to mind; that is if they are at all present. Clicking anywhere outside the box should simply dismiss the box and be treated as "I do not answer".

re 4. If you feel like you have to ask me the question and present me with the above, clearly you do not value my privacy, partly because I have DNT set; I know DNT is a "failure" because it was set as default by Edge or something, but then again, I am fairly convinced that given a properly implemented 1. most people would click "reject all" prolly all the time, otherwise the implementors would simply not go to such lengths to have us click "accept all".

Light pollution has been a problem since long before LED lights. I don't think I've ever been able to see stars in Amsterdam.

I do think fighting light pollution is a worthy goal, but LED lights aren't the enemy. At least not specifically LEDs; all light are. But more careful use of LED lights could help us to shine that light only where we need it, and let less light escape. But it's going to require strict regulation; lots of companies don't care and just shine lights everywhere they can.

> LED lights emit more blue light than regular bulbs.

They don't have to. Rather famously, there are red and green LEDs. Blue ones are the most recent ones, but popular because they allow us to create any colour we want by mixing different colours. If you want amber LEDs, you can. Just turn down the amount of blue.
People (tech inclined and looking for a forum platform) want chronological feed, yes. But they want it usable too. Mastodon doesn't have any categorization/classification/tags tools, everyting is dumped into a single gigantic realtime thread, and if you blink you miss the post and its gone forever. I tried Mastodon once, when it was just starting out and abandoned after playing around for a while. It's simply unusable, compared to any forum or reddit. Or even to a Facebook, with it's horrible UI. At least FB has groups and pages which kinda work like a bad crutch for categorization. Mastodon is lacking any of that.
It also favors all kinds of mob-like structures…

Don't overthink it, just get out there and talk to people. The more the better. In my experience, the limiting factor on day 1 is a lack of information, so your job is to learn until it's fairly obvious what to do. Thinking doesn't really generate new data, only action can, so walk into every restaurant you come across, write cold emails, etc.

As far as how to conduct these sorts of interviews goes, a few people have mentioned the mom test - it's v short and simple but it is indeed good. People, for the most part, avoid conflict and so don't give you honest feedback. Instead they tend to be complimentary, but non-committal. As a result, you need to be a little indirect in your line of questioning, and pay more attention to what they do than what they say.

When it comes to testing a product, try and deliver the value manually instead. Businesses don't buy software, they buy solutions to problems. Software is just a way to deliver the solution to many customers. If you can't convince someone to pay you to keep their menu up to date by hand, they won't pay for your software to do it either. Perhaps you convince them to give you the relevant credentials to update menus across platforms yourself, and then they email you when something changes, or you give them a google form, or you go into the restaurant every day and ask what's new. Not everyone is open to working with someone in a scrappy way like this, but you'd be surprised.

You can easily serve a handful of customers manually like this, which will give you the data you need to decide if it's worth it, and the data you need to build the product.

Anyway, good luck!
Thought process is fine, but lead with the plain and simple version. Offer context after you've introduced the topic and described what you're talking about.
I agree with all of this.

The vast majority of people aren’t good at being visionary, most aren’t technical, and many will give you a default culturally-aligned answer (eg positive to be nice and conflict-averse, or negative because they are tired of dealing with sales and bullshit, for example).

Therefore having some sort of MVP (even as said just a spreadsheet, or a storyboard) to help people understand what you’re even talking about and envision it in action, would be very useful.
I think the vast majority of people don’t care much about what happens at the outer bounds of content moderation. Most people go to Twitter for pretty normal internet conversations, which are increasingly difficult to have there: the Blue buffoons being at the top of every thread with nothing worthwhile to say, the constant spotlight on Elon drama, rate limiting, huge jump in bugginess, etc.

FB allows a sufficiently diverse, extreme, and even toxic political environment on FB for most everyone. What kind of content would Threads forbid that is more crucial to Twitter users than a functional service?

Putting the content of people who have to pay for engagement above everyone else was one of the most heroically dumb product decisions I’ve ever heard. I was fine putting up with everything else but then the service just became legitimately not compelling because of that.
It's game over for Twitter when they allow terrorist content and block people questioning and reporting it.

I won’t be using it, but it will probably absorb a lot of the dopamine scrollers from Twitter and those are the people advertisers most want. So yes it probably will hasten Twitter’s demise.

I don’t think original Twitter is coming back in any form. Tech people and a few lefties go to Mastodon. Cryptobros go to Nostr. Scrollers go to Threads if they aren’t already on TikTok. Not sure who is going to Bluesky.

Twitter will be left with culture war trolls screaming at each other and outrage porn. That’s not going to attract a lot of ads.

I had to do a bit to manage to make work their search with my noscript/basic (x)html browser: they had cyberpunk work very nicely (silver) with one of the first versions of the game and an antique wine version 5.22.

Nothing about the latest wine 8.11 and latest version of cyberpunk 2077 on steam.
Horizon Zero Dawn seems to have a dx12 or a vulkan backend, and the EPIC(gog) is gold on wine 8.0 (since it does not have dx<=11).

It took over a year of mandatory 2fa w/ phone app before they stopped making us change our password every month.

At least my password isn't changing anymore but I never understood that policy if you made a strong password. It was overkill.

Some websites still require it though, and that's nonsensical and annoying. Just randomly generate one and keep it in a password manager.
Yes you can't retroactively change licenses, but it's also important to know that just because you can read a source file, the file in question is bona-fide open source or free software.

Many people lack this knowledge from my experience.
The bot is a bit disappointing, it doesn't really interact with the caller.
In my opinion 2FA is one of the best use cases for a smart watch, and at least Authy supports that use case, it's so much better than to look where I put my phone...
But MFA is not supposed to replace your password. It’s in addition to it, and if it’s implemented correctly, only on new devices.

Once you’ve done the second factor dance on a new device once, and assuming the MFA setup has been done well, you shouldn’t need to reach for the MFA code again (at least, not often).
Further distribution can be put under any license they want but any copy anyone received in the past that was Apache 2 licensed remains such and can be used as before.

So if anyone wants to put a past release online they are free to do so (unless there are parts of the code that were restricted before).

It would be prudent to remove branding where possible but that's mainly a precaution.
The question you are asking is almost "what is economics?"
Security is inconvenience, therefore the role of security is to find where is the limit. Because afterwards users will start to search for shortcuts, which usually makes the systems even less secure.
Maybe a fair choice would be you either have a super long password or you use MFA.

Facebook was given six months to stop sending Europeans personal data to the USA under a recent ruling.

I saw this headline and expected "meltdown day" to be around the 14th of October 2023 when the six months runs out, unless efforts to allow data transfer to the USA succeed by then.

The effort to allow data transfer to continue is basically an executive order from President Biden that says that the USA will only spy on people for a valid national security purpose and Europeans who think the US government has misused their personal data can try to persuade their national regulator to send a complaint to the USA, in the unlikely event of a national privacy regulator deciding that there is enough evidence to send a complaint, the USA will investigate and reply that they either upheld or dismissed the complaint and will give absolutely zero other information about their reasoning, what happened or if they they told a three letter agency to spy a bit less.

* Facebook Pages (still heavily used)

* Facebook Video (still heavily used)

* Facebook Marketplace (extremely heavily used in many markets)

* Stories (still heavily used)

* Reels (sort of merged into Videos)

* Facebook Places (big plans, but died)

This is code running on client machines which you have no control over. Once it's out there good luck getting everyone to upgrade to your latest version because "hey, we didn't want this one to behave like that. oops". Especially when you're google and don't want certain freedoms in your software.

> consider just how much importance any internet discussion should be given

The problem with this - and it applies to BS in regular media as well - is that it doesn't matter so much what I find important, as what my fellow voters, and real policy makers, find important.

Flat earthers are harmless on their own. If flat earthers start making transport policy, things are going to stop working.
The argument that passwords are acceptable as long as everyone practices good "hygiene" strikes me as having many parallels with the argument that C code is memory safe as long as it is written properly.

I'd rather just have memory safety built in to the language I'm using—I'm not sure exactly what the equivalent is for passwords, but I don't think I would oppose it.
Same here. I think I bought my first LED light around 2008, and I think it's still working. I have had some cheap LED lights overheat in fixtures that clearly weren't suitable for them, but when used properly, LED lights can last for a very long time.

Incandescents break constantly. Fluorescents occasionally. LEDs almost never, except in very specific cases.

If you do have a LED light break within a decade, my advice is to replace the fixture. Or maybe try a very different type of LED (a weaker one with different heat management) in it.
Listening to your favorite new song everyday for a week is spaced repetition and very enjoyable, no pain whatsoever. You'll quickly learn the nuances of the song that you didn't pick up in your first few listens. Also a great way to memorize lyrics.
> and the fact that they're heavily branding it with Instagram, using Instagram logins etc suggests to me that they're just looking for another angle to vacuum up user data

I don't despise all inconvenient things. I don't mind carrying house keys. It's just a question of whether you value the security enough to make it worthwhile.
But you can also use passkeys from a computer, no separate mobile device needed!

And for services (like AWS) that don't (yet) support passkeys, a hardware token like a YubiKey is also an option.
Really? Facebook Events? Groups? Marketplace?

This isnt clearly legal under the GDPR

https://noyb.eu/en/pay-or-okay-beginning-end
It is banned in most civilized countries.
Indeed, that's the right way to do it. Make an app, bring a new audience in to a familiar Twitter experience, hook Instagram and Threads to the same backend and auth though. Then gradually over years, bring both people together to a shared experience in a way they can assimilate with many small changes.

This is just good change management.

They probably knew this wasn't going to fly but figure the revenue between them ignoring the law and having to follow the law would be more than the fine.
There seem to be two separate but related issues here, and I don't see how the headline could be true.

AFAICT, Brave is striving to mediate access to websites that attempt to connect to network services running on 127.0.0.1. I would've hoped that they take this further to prevent connections across the user's LAN to RFC1918 addresses (or to whatever addresses are being used on the LAN).

I do not see a feasible way that a mere web browser running on a client machine could prevent port scans against anything. Not the host computer nor the edge router. That's simply beyond the scope of a web browser. I don't know why Ars Technica chose such a misleading headline. However, I'm glad that they brought to light this reprehensible practice of public web sites, including bestbuy.com, where I recently made a major purchase, yet I was completely unable to create a user account there. Now I want nothing to do with them.
It also ended serfdom. Being wary of change is usually the excuse to perpetuate awful systems in both technology and society.
>...old person fight ring in a care home - a net utility negative...

It's really about whether you can incrementally assess P&L.

Facebook has epic amounts of user-generated imagery and text, and incremental improvements in NLP and computer vision generate incremental revenue (and profit) because you can put up better ads and introduce new features like translation. As an investor, that is very appealing.

There's no incremental revenue from Metaverse. It's a huge money pit, with no obvious end date for when enough billions have been wasted to call it quits. It could well work out, but if I'm an investor why would I want to invest in this through Facebook rather than through a bunch of startups pursuing a diverse set of strategies.
> I'd rather just have memory safety built in to the language I'm using—I'm not sure exactly what the equivalent is for passwords, but I don't think I would oppose it.

It's a hard problem. I don't think passkeys really are the solution long term, they just sweep the problem under a corporate rug and ignore that people will still use them inappropriately.
Plausible is a better alternative.
