Why would Apple, Google, Microsoft CEO want to go to congressional hearings and put a big stain on themselves for 2% market share? I think they just want to get rid of passwords because there are good people working there too and it is a pain to pay for support.

Pass managers have totp authenticators as well. I mean really, you can just sit back and have Apple do everything for you (built in totp) or the same with Google or you get 10+ pass managers to choose from, some are open source... This whole thing is rather paranoia as of now.

We must be crictical and watch out but the law is on our side:

It is theoretically possible for a dominant company to support a third-party technology or standard initially and then abandon it, which could potentially harm competition. This practice is known as "embrace, extend, extinguish" or "embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE). The term was coined during the Microsoft antitrust case in the late 1990s, where Microsoft was accused of using its market power to undermine competing technologies.

In the case of passkey technology or any other standard, if a dominant company were to initially support it, attract third-party developers and users, and then suddenly abandon or change the technology in a way that hampers compatibility or competition, it could potentially limit the options available to users and stifle innovation from other companies.

However, it's important to note that such practices can be subject to scrutiny and legal action under competition laws. Antitrust authorities, such as the DOJ and FTC, are responsible for investigating and addressing anti-competitive behavior. If there are indications that a company's actions are harming competition or violating antitrust laws, regulatory authorities may step in to assess the situation and take appropriate measures.
It is legal to drive a left hand drive car here, but I'm also surprised it's legal to sell one new. It is definitely much less safe. I was in a near fatal accident with a left hand drive truck who didn't see me in his blindspot because the steering wheel was on the wrong side.
why is this not on the frontpage if true?

people here whine everyday about how closed is OpenAI and won't even discuss this
Consumer-facing internet wasn't widely available at the time.

I'm not sure if this represented the potential to sell people on the Internet, or just on online services as a whole. As I understand it, the NABU platform was still (in its original form) a walled-garden, just like CompuServe, The Source, or GEnie in the same era, or even the Minitel-style platforms in Europe. The unique proposition of connecting to another system ran by an unrelated party was still not there.

If we roll it back to "this might have kickstarted adoption of online services", that's an interesting discussion.

From my perspective, I think people were averse to early online services because most dial-up online services were extremely expensive before the 1990s. A few dollars an hour adds up fast especially at low bandwidth. I can recall my family getting its first PC (~1992 or so) and being warned never to click the icons for AOL (the early GeoWorks based version) or the terminal emulator due to cost concerns (although it would have been moot because the PC didn't have a modem!)

Part of that was that a lot of the walled-garden services used existing commercial timesharing networks for access, and those were priced for people whose business was paying for it. In the NABU design, the infrastructure was owned by the cable firm in the first place, and there's no risk you're pushing off a better-paying customer. What did the price plans look like? If they had treated it as an unlimited, flat-rate package, then adoption would have been a lot higher.

I also understand at least some forms of the NABU system were aggressively unidirectional-- a lot of the software was on an 'endless loop' where you waited for what you wanted to cycle past again to start downloading it. That probably helped keep the infrastructure costs manageable, only the much smaller upstream link needed to be managed on a per-user basis.
Does the S finally have a pocket in the driver's door for things to put in?
Why are we desparate to jam X509 into every hole, regardless of whether or not it's a good idea?

mTLS for most cases is not a good idea. For the masses, it's certainly not a good idea.
EVs arguably already have true mass adoption in some countries. They're 30% of new car sales in Denmark so far this year.
>real people in my contact list all go through without any specific rules, and I'll actually tell people to stop sending me links to facebook rants in the middle of the night.

Instead of expecting them to guess your waking hours, you could just set your DND to not alarm during those hours. If I didn't do that, I'd be frequently woken by things like Facebook Messenger message alerts.
It’s incorrect - Apple has in fact implemented attestation as can be seen in https://github.com/lbuchs/WebAuthn.

>> It's the last job you want to automate with "AI".

Have you been at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in France? The security people there look like paratroopers[^1]. It's terrifying, and it's a reason I avoid that particular airport every time I fly. It sends the message "Paris is an unsafe place to be, we are very paranoid, blame the others, don't come here." The machine guns have no business among civilians, being with robots or people, period.

>> That is a job which is 99.99% about understanding human intentions in confusing and ambiguous situations, and where making a mistake will literally kill people.

Yes, if you ever are allowed to pull the trigger. And in that case, I wouldn't trust machine nor person; I have been profiled on the basis of my physical appearance more times that I can count.

But in some cases, like the airport above, the goal and effect is to simply terrify civilians. You can't deny that a machine would do a better job at that[^2].

[^1]: Just search Google images for "Security at Charles de Gaulle airport." I've been there, and that's exactly how they look.

It's linear. The keycaps are pretty decent, The layout is a little weird, but not as strange as many other machines of the era.
This is an interesting point. User managed or curated indices offer unique advantages, especially when 'depth of coverage' is more important than 'breadth of coverage'. I believe that we are witnessing people shift away from demanding 'search breadth' as we speak, so someone might possibly decide to do this.
Parents drive more often than other groups, because city centres are not affordable for families, so they commonly don't live walkable distances from daycares/preschools. Also with more than one stop along the way, public transport becomes a pain.

My daughter's daycare is 1300m from my apartment, so I walk pushing her stroller, but the building is swamped with cars belonging to people coming from a distance of 5km+, and that's just the first leg of their journey.

With two preschoolers you either invest in a proper type of cargo bike, which costs as much as a used car, or drive all the way.
It would end up like Steve Yegge's tale of Geoworks:

"OK: I went to the University of Washington and [then] I got hired by this company called Geoworks, doing assembly-language programming, and I did it for five years. To us, the Geoworkers, we wrote a whole operating system, the libraries, drivers, apps, you know: a desktop operating system in assembly. 8086 assembly! It wasn't even good assembly! We had four registers! [Plus the] si [register] if you counted, you know, if you counted 386, right? It was horrible.

I mean, actually we kind of liked it. It was Object-Oriented Assembly. It's amazing what you can talk yourself into liking, which is the real irony of all this. And to us, C++ was the ultimate in Roman decadence. I mean, it was equivalent to going and vomiting so you could eat more. They had IF! We had jump CX zero! Right? They had "Objects". Well we did too, but I mean they had syntax for it, right? I mean it was all just such weeniness. And we knew that we could outperform any compiler out there because at the time, we could!

So what happened? Well, they went bankrupt. Why? Now I'm probably disagreeing – I know for a fact that I'm disagreeing with every Geoworker out there. I'm the only one that holds this belief. But it's because we wrote fifteen million lines of 8086 assembly language. We had really good tools, world class tools: trust me, you need 'em. But at some point, man...

The problem is, picture an ant walking across your garage floor, trying to make a straight line of it. It ain't gonna make a straight line. And you know this because you have perspective. You can see the ant walking around, going hee hee hee, look at him locally optimize for that rock, and now he's going off this way, right?

This is what we were, when we were writing this giant assembly-language system. Because what happened was, Microsoft eventually released a platform for mobile devices that was much faster than ours. OK? And I started going in with my debugger, going, what? What is up with this? This rendering is just really slow, it's like sluggish, you know. And I went in and found out that some title bar was getting rendered 140 times every time you refreshed the screen. It wasn't just the title bar. Everything was getting called multiple times.

Because we couldn't see how the system worked anymore!

Small systems are not only easier to optimize, they're possible to optimize. And I mean globally optimize."

If you want fetch to be synchronous, why not just write await in front of it?

RPC is the same, except you can't opt for async when you want it.
From my experience a lot of Java guys have no idea about the wider world of languages out there. They can be total experts in Java and get very confused why you are not writing something in Java.

The vast majority of programmers don't read HN, reddit or really follow any industry news. They work in Java or C# which are entirely self sufficient with very comprehensive SDKs.

> this ecosystem is ubiquitous

I wrote a perfectly lucid response which you ignored completely. Your choosing to ignore it, or to read it as if it means something other than what it does, does not mean that I don't have a point (wat).

> Much more ubiquitous than "no, this is not frontend, I do client-side and I don't use it".

Who are you quoting (and what is it even supposed to mean, besides)?

> you're expecting me to argue with you

Nope.
Thanks, but they don't work anymore. Do you by any chance have more invite codes?
> No annotations are required.

I appreciate the intent, but man is this like a minefield waiting to be walked over. Anyone who looks at the code will scratch their head and will not understand what is going on. An annotation would perhaps make it clearer.

Also, how about IDE support? I would argue it is at least as important as the feature itself.
Personally, I still feel a .com is ideal in 2023 and so will be in 2048 or 2073.

The history so far is that every successful company eventually buys the .com or changed their name to have a .com. The other successful companies without a .com, end up being sold/acquired before they need to buy a .com.

If you possibly can, get a .com. If not -- try, at least, the two-word trick OneTwo where .two is an available TLD. That way, you are likely owning One.two but also book OneTwo.com. You can re-direct OneTwo.com to the awesome TLD of One.two. This will go on, to eventually 3-word domains, with the last word to an available TLD.
>you’d assume everyone in the UK is foraging in bins for their food, but the reality is there is plenty of people with money.

There is almost never a dearth of people with money. The median income is more telling about the state of a nation.
Just like with smartphones, since we get all these technical leaps in one package with all the drawbacks - complete remote control over our appliances and data - we happily ignore them.
Legacy admissions have a close to zero chance of increasing diversity. The entire point is that people who are just like former students get preference. By definition it's the opposite of a program to seek out those who have a different life experience than the status quo.
The Apple ][+ (which I bought in 1981) had left and right arrow keys, but no up/down arrow keys.
Because the 2nd is incompatible with copy-paste semantics from C code in C++.

We can argue that C++ shouldn't have been that close to C, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.
To me it's the opposite. I prefer to be as close to destination as possible so if I have to arrange an alternative it's shorter and probably cheaper.

Not just your "standard" Dane, but born in Greenland. The only such person I can name.
It is far less safe to drive a car with a steering wheel on the wrong side - it shouldn’t be legal for Tesla to sell them in this way.
Well that's a feature that I might be willing to pay for.

Add Twitter to that list and I'll start finding accessible content again.
Making a bridge is considered malpractice now. This is what my younger dentist told me. I had an older dentist in the past who recommended a bridge.

Making a titanium implant or just leave it is the best option. Only if you are over 80 years or have some other issues (making it more risky to do the implant operation) should you go the bridge route instead of making an titanium implant.

To make a bridge you have to destroy (grind down into cones) two teeth adjacent to the bad/missing tooth onto which they glue the bridge. Crazy. On top of that you will forever have issues cleaning below the bridge which probably also causes your other good teeth to decay as more food and bacterias are sticking around.
Interesting that Aristotle's Ethics also speaks about this. Good and bad are not at the ends of a scale, but good is in the middle, and bad either side. From what I understand it, excess of anything, even something normally regarded as "good" would result in bad things. Yea, I'm not very eloquent here, but you get the idea
What is additional range going to help with here? You misjudged your range, almost certainly due to Tesla overestimating remaining range (not taking into account all variables), and your wife yelled at you for it. Having an extra 100mi range will just delay that scenario, not prevent it. It takes about one longer trip to understand how speed/conditions affect range and how that necessitates an earlier departure time. Next time just plan for a quick stop after 100mi or so to give you some extra confidence. Faster charging and more stations will help out though, no doubt.
I think you missed the point of the story, which was that the company was asking for a combination of skills that never exist in the same person. An unicorn. In that context it is reasonable to assume that if you have the core competency (in this case design skills, not coding), then you should apply.

Also fizz buzz has nothing to do with the kind of programming that was expected from the job description. Now you might reasonably object that fizz buzz is supposed to be something so rudimentary that any programmer could implement. But the point is UI/UX people don't typically do any algorithms work at all. Their interaction with JS is often just to call an API and shove the resulting data where it needs to be in the DOM. They may never have to use a loop, ever. Or conditional testing. Or think about infinite sequences. To a proper software engineer like you or me fizz buzz seems ridiculously simple. But I could totally see a UX designer whose only interaction with self-taught JS is to glue APIs together being tripped up.

And that's my point really. EVs have some disadvantages (although for most people these are not as serious as claimed if you can get the longer range versions), but overall they have a lot to recommend them simply as cars, even beyond their benefits to the environment. Even in a hypothetical world where nobody cared about the environment, and governments weren't penalising ICE cars, mass adoption of electric cars would still be inevitable at this point.
I was already at the "I want to start a blog"-phase but procrastinated actually starting it by playing with several SSGs and CMSs, when I came across that comic. It gave me the final push, I am (or aspire to be) the weird dude who writes raw HTML ;)
I can only speculate, but I think it is because extension methods can be shadowed if a vendor adds a method of the same name to the class you are extending. Of course, that depends on how you resolve methods.

In java, this would be a compile time problem, because once the class is compiled the extension method is called with `invokestatic` rather than `invokevirtual` used by class methods.

There is also a healthy fear of change in the java community that could explain it.
And what if github didn't have such mechanism? They should swallow the loss as they should have known better? And more importantly, as they weren't documented, how could the author be certain there is a safeguard and he won't cause any harm?
I think in the UK and Japan the model S and model X are far too large to ever be big sellers. There are even some bridges in the UK that the model X can’t cross because it is too wide.
Is he wrong though? Sometimes you need to make a statement, like Apple not willing to do chatcontrol. Sometimes it's just time. It's time to drop empirical units, to much damage has been caused. My own language has so many exceptions to the "rules" that every generation spends a lot of time learning them (i.e. we say all 2 digit numbers backwards, it gets every generation, every time), again and again. It's like technical debt for a country. I thailand I almost died getting on the road with my scooter, because of the other side of the road rule.

Just bite the bullet, switch, feel the pain, but then, feel that sweet sweet relieve.
You are comparing the USSR with modern America. This is a classic American agitprop technique - necessary, because you are entirely unaware of the magnitude of the crimes against humanity and war crimes being committed in your name every single day.

The USA drops bombs on innocent people, on average, at a rate of one bomb dropped on an innocent person, every twenty minutes, for the last twenty years.

There are 34 million refugees from Americas' wars, started in 2003.

Iraq lost 5% of its population to American war agression, and still loses children every single day as a consequence of America's invasion.

You'd really better inform yourself. The USA is the #1 promoter of terrorism and calamity in the world today. https://airwars.org/

Russia has a long way to go to catch up with the US' war crimes and crimes against humanity, committed this century - not to mention the massive violations of human rights that is occurring as part of the heinously criminal 5-eyes regime.

A long, long way to go.

>Believing that the actions of US government come even close are... naive.

I think you have to be very, very ignorant - bordering on cowardly - if this is your position today.

Don't you know what your country did to Mosul? To Raqqa? To Libya?
A dishwasher isn't autonomous. I'm talking about the second. I think if we don't solve general intelligence first, we should be able to get there in three to four years.
The police look like that in Paris’s suburbs as well, for I guess obvious reasons.
For the past couple of decades, at least, more people have been lifted out of poverty than have been added to it through population growth. So no, even by that metric things were worse off in the 70's or 80's than they are today.
That's the model 3 and now the model Y. This just affects the S and X which were never mainstream anyway.
>dropped from VA plans.

>At first glance, this looks incredibly similar to something like the desktop of the Apple Lisa or early Mac OS. It’s easy to see why people might think that Apple sort of stole the graphical user interface from it’s rich neighbor Xerox. It’s not true, though.

People don't think Apple stole the GUI from Xerox because of the Smalltalk-80 GUI, but because of the Xerox Alto and Xerox Parc [1].

Part numbers, error codes, and similar "high entropy" terms also seem to suffer the same fate.

Even worse than giving no results is giving you page after page of "results" containing slightly different numbers/codes.

They have block/lower/raise/pin for domains, and additionally, they support regex rewriting of domain names, all my twitter results on Kagi redirect to nitter (though I don’t know if that still works, I was gone last week)
It's also not clear why Google killed Blogger.

More investment in Blogger with better linking between blogs (the way you can @someone on Twitter) and discovery (#tag searches allowing you to see posts from multiple blogs, curated blogrolls), more realtime/live logging functionality, easy microblogging functionality, etc. would probably have led to a lot more content existing on Google owned spaces, as opposed to being siloed behind Facebook and Twitter paywalls.
I said murder through erasure, and I stand by that accurately describing what you wrote.

You are saying that the moral value of many/most human beings is a net negative. I don't know if you don't see, or if you choose to ignore the repugnant conclusions which must necessarily derive from this viewpoint.
