Won’t most people be logged into their Google account anyways? So if you steal their phone, and guess their PIN then you can just use the already logged in account.

Take a game show host who lets you choose a door, randomly reveals what is behind one other door, and then gives you an opportunity to change your choice. This game show host CAN (randomly) reveal the prize; he has equal probability of revealing ANY of the unchosen doors.

Say you are playing the Monty Hall game with this host. You choose your door, he opens another door, and it happens (purely by chance) that there is no prize there. Do you still believe that you have a 2/3 chance of winning if you switch to the other unopened door?

As for the "why should they care," I think the fact that we're bound by treaty to defend the Baltics and Scandinavian countries in the event of an attack, and they already perceive themselves as threatened, is a pretty obvious reason. But not obvious to everyone.

I mean, I don't share the isolationist urge in the case of Ukraine at all, so I'm asking these questions to understand what other people are thinking. I get that a large part of it is just not caring.
Once you're already committed to green hydrogen (electrolysis-made hydrogen) you may as well go whole hog and do green methane (methane made through the Sabatier process, which consumes Hydrogen and CO2).

Making a methane-powered jetliner is far more practical than a hydrogen-powered one.

The "forgot password" flow involves accessing your email. And accessing your email without having access to your passkey requires a device that has previously logged in to your email. And the device that has previously logged in to your email is the same device where your passkeys are stored, which is to say, the same device that is now lost or bricked, which is the reason your passkeys are lost in the first place.

And sure, you and I have multiple devices. We're in the minority. Most people just have the one. Without another way in, they're irrevocably fucked.
Just do it bit by bit and eventually it will get done faster thank you think. I'm working on this since May 2022 so it's been a massively long road.

Good luck, man!
As others have pointed out, cryptographic authentication is very hard to bootstrap if you simply loose your device.

Just last month my missus cracked the glass of her iPhone. Apple repaired it under AppleCare, which is great… except… that they didn’t tell her that the “glass repair” entails them replacing the guts of the phone and wiping it in the process.

Apple iPhone backups don’t contain cryptographic secrets like eSIMs!

She got stuck in a loop where she couldn’t activate her eSIM because that needed her email, but her email needed MS Authenticator, which she couldn’t activate without an SMS.

She had to drive to the Telco with a pile of photo ID to reissue her eSIM. Her bank account got locked in the process despite the password being correct because of some sort of phone hardware lock.

This took days to fix and multiple in-person visits to various organisations. If this had happened while overseas on holiday, she would have been screwed.

Times have changed.

Your entire digital identity is now a smart card in your phones

That Smart Card is either a SIM card or an onboard TPM chip, but in any event if you lose it, you may as well be dead as far as anyone else is concerned.

Passkeys make this much worse. At least if you still have a physical SIM you can transfer it from any phone to any other phone.

Passkeys are not cross-vendor transferable!

Run away screaming. Don’t believe the hype. Wait until the vendors get their act together and come up with a solution for transfer and recovery.
Just be careful with Hydrogen energy density as there’s a huge range of non obvious issues. Compressed you lose a great deal of energy converting it to kinetic energy and weight due to the containers + engines. Fuel cells also need electric motors and ideally a hybrid battery.

Cryogenic fuel looks great until you need to have it sit around unused. Embrittlement, volume, cost, and a rage of safety hazards make it unappealing for aircraft or ships.

So, my guess is the ideal long term solution barring “super batteries” is some sort of synthetic hydrocarbons that uses atmospheric CO2 but we are a long way from viability there.
Yes. Remove the cat for either a straight pipe, or resonator.

HKS silently discontinued their “catless” downpipes in the U.S. around 2021 for mentioned reasons above.

>To use passkeys, you just use a fingerprint, face scan or pin to unlock your device, and they are 40% faster than passwords

>We’ve found that one of the most immediate benefits of passkeys is that they spare people the headache of remembering all those numbers and special characters in passwords.

So they aren't considering at all how easy is the autofill password feature with a password manager (that they even have built in Chrome/Android).
Took me decades to learn that by shifting my meal times earlier in the day it made it significantly easier to wake up early.

Every time I've been asked to fill out a demographic survey at work, or during a job application, there's always an option to decline to provide the information. I would expect the same to be true here. If it weren't I don't see how they would win a court case to defend it.
Have you seen the queues for H2 stations? 2 hours is peanuts.

Also: the longest wait I've had in the almost 3 years I've owned an EV has been about 15 minutes and in that case it was a couple who had clearly rented an EV and was charging it for the first time ever.

The infrastructure is perfectly solvable. The US is just at a disadvantage because gasoline is practically free over there compared to the rest of the world so there isn't that much of an incentive to improve the charging infrastructure.

As a reference, currently gasoline at the station near to me is $7.47/gallon, which actually pretty cheap. The most expensive price here is $9.24/gallon at the moment.

Compare that to electricity, which costs 0.02c/kWh right now. That's 0,0002€/kWh. Looking at the market price it'll dip down to -0.18c/kWh in the morning hours, they're literally paying people to use electricity =)

> Also, why wouldn’t they specify a penalty? Why punt that to California’s already-burdened courts?

The current law appears to be about collecting data to help understand the state of the industry and its trends. They’re probably hoping that enough data will come in without a stink that they don’t have to chase down any holdouts at all.

Explicitly specifying a penalty means more political negotiating and more analysis about what statutory penalty structure suits the different potential offenders. If you’re hoping you don’t have to actively enforce the law at all, you can skip that.
People who are bullish for EVs I implore you to reconsider - current EVs containing a literal ton of batteries with limited lifespans belong in the green future, especially 80% of that doesn't get used for daily commute.

It's obvious to me that considering the full-lifecycle costs (both manufacturing, usage and ownership), some sort of hybrid solution is the greenest, for the current crop of personal cars.

But I believe once self-driving robotaxis arrive, they are going to reshape transportation - they're going to be used for short distance commute, and hauling people to train stations for long distance commute. At least in Europe.

Range anxiety won't be a thing, since these taxis won't ever cover large distances.
No there isn’t some conspiracy to leave it unprosecuted, just that people with psychopathic tendencies are good at sniffing out the areas where the victim is unlikely to hit back

From my experience, only way to really deal with those types is to always escalate and get more eyes on the situation
I use passkeys everywhere I find them. I do not take control or ownership of backing up - instead I have alternative 2fa or hardware key authentication with all those accounts.

For every account I have a hardware key for, there are 3 hardware keys associated with that account - 2 on-site, 1 off-site.

Unfortunately it is a bit tricky in practice, and still have a very significant global warming footprint[0]. You're never going to capture 100% of the CO4, and oil and gas wells tend to leak quite a lot of methane to the atmosphere.

So-called "blue" hydrogen only results in about 10% less GHG emissions than traditional "grey" hydrogen. It's something, but not big enough of a difference to actually be usable.

I kind of wonder about a really big public version of this. Something like a Wikipedia of family tree history, so people working on their family's genealogy might meet up with others somewhere 5 or 6 generations back and discover some stories going back a couple hundred years. I imagine allowing for people to fill in little biographies and attach photos or references of ancestors.

But such a thing would probably have a bunch of abuse scenarios that would be hard to solve for (it's "what's your mother's maiden name" as a service, for one), and I'm not sure if they're easily solved. But it'd be really cool.
> seasonal storage mechanism

Is this even needed? With solar, wind, etc storing more than a few days worth of energy seems very wasteful.
For a compact message format being sent to browsers, you might look at messagepack, eg with https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-javascript – it's essentially binary JSON, so it'd be compatible with OpenAPI specs.

I think the ser/des is slower than JSON in most browsers, but the message format is smaller.

Oftentimes, using a query parameter like `?exclude[]=…` or `?include[]=…` or similar to say "only get me these response fields, not the whole object" can be useful for this too (and then you still get JSON back).
Thank you! We need to be training female nurses and teachers to be truck drivers and male truck drivers to be teachers. Only then will we have a fair society.
Explicit quotas would probably be preferable to the current state of affairs. The fact that they're implicit means that, as soon as you bring them up, someone can play dumb and claim that they don't exist. It precludes having an honest discussion or even knowledge of how distorting the quotas are.
The price of low skilled labour will increase a lot, and that will drive inflation. Perhaps some think it will be for the better, and I can see the argument. But it will mean that many companies will not be able to afford the labour they need to operate, and will need to shut down. Perhaps still no problem? But if the economy stagnates, there will be less taxes paid, and harder to finance the whole UBI thing. It will have assymmetric effects. I think it is a kind of singularity thing. The effects will be difficult to predict, but I think it will cause new problems to a degree that other better policies will not.

Superchargers are primarily for road trips and people who need to fast charge because they don’t have home charging (for now; infra is rolling out very fast). Most will charge at home, work, or other locations that perhaps have a level 2 charger (vs a fast DC charger). A 120V 15amp outlet is sufficient to fully charge your vehicle if left for 2-3 days or more at an airport or other longer dwell location.

> Batteries are not a suitable large scale energy storage.

They will get us most of the way to success. Some combination of seasonal storage, renewables overbuilding, transmission, and limited fossil generation (peakers, cogeneration, etc) will be needed to get close to 100% net zero.

It's been used successfully for space travel, in liquid (cryogenic) form. The Space Shuttle's main engines ran on hydrogen fuel, for example.

However the latest generation of rockets seems to have moved away from hydrogen back to things like RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid methane. The high cost and difficulties of working with hydrogen is a factor in this.

New Satellite Outshines Some of the Brightest Stars in the Sky
Context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caoineadh_Airt_U%C3%AD_Laoghai...

I got interested in Irish having listened to Clannad in high school; at the uni library, I got hold of an Irish textbook, along with a bilingual anthology of Irish poetry ('An Duanaire: Poems of the Dispossessed', edited by Seán Ó Tuama) where the Caoineadh featured prominently.
I think Toyota also had their hands tied a bit because the entire country of Japan has heavily invested in hydrogen. I can understand why it makes sense strategically for a country like Japan without their own oil (or lithium?) reserves. Toyota is a Japanese industrial powerhouse so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were receiving subsidies and maybe even direction on hydrogen research. Only now that they have invested enough to prove hydrogen is a fantasy can they move on to batteries.

I’m not sure it’s such a loss though. Nissan was early with the Leaf but nobody talks about them as cornering the EV market. Toyota can benefit from the battery advancements everyone else made over the last 15 years and catch up quickly.

At the time it made sense to invest in hydrogen. And in hindsight it wasn’t as much of a mistake as it might seem. It was a moonshot but they didn’t risk their existence on it and if it had worked they’d look like geniuses. If hydrogen was feasible Toyota and Japan would be world leaders in energy tech or at least have secure domestic energy independence.
Exactly.

I charge at my parking spot with around 2-2.5kW power use. With that I'll get about 100-150km of range overnight easily. I drive less than that daily, which means my car's battery is full practically all the time.
I would say the pimped out emacs is probably better than everything _except_ visual studio.

VS is hands down the best IDE in the world, bar none. And I say this as someone who runs linux on everything except my gaming pc and my work laptop.

Once you step outside of visual studio though ... nothing compares with those setups (I use vim, but the sentiment is the same). It's because you have easy access to the entire OS, not anything specific to vim/emacs (although there's a lot of great things to say about them too).
Sometimes when I'm stuck in construction traffic I wish someone would invent the Highway Widening Machine. A machine that in one fell swoop can grind, grade, prep, pour and paint a new lane into a road.
Toyota CEO: "Our ammonia engine is the end of EV's" [video]
That is not true. There is no requirement for a phone number.
Steel production really needs hydrogen though. Hopefully the first test-production facilities will come online soon in Sweden. But I agree on for instance air travel. Don't faff around with hydrogen in planes. Convert the hydrogen to something liquid, like the Porsche e-fuel, then use it in regular jet turbofans.
What EVs on the road today have hub motors? That unsprung mass would ruin handling. Also the motor could easily be damaged by hard bumps from potholes or curbs.
I think Toyota is making these pie-in-the-sky announcements to Osborne[1] other manufacturer's BEVs, and delay electrification too, because Toyota's actual battery tech that exist is far behind their competitors.

I wonder if something like this would be good for REM state tracking. I can really feel a difference when my alarm gets me up during REM vs normal sleep. I've tried smart watches, fitness bands, and even Withing's sleep tracking mat, but nothing has nailed the killer feature I want, which is a dynamic morning alarm that adjust to my REM cycle. I'd be willing to wear sleep earbuds if they had this feature!
Refresh token rotation is not a security measure [video]
Noticed as a kid I could flip a quarter with a certain consistency, so I experimented a bit and quickly got to be >90% accurate with an ordinary (controlled) flip.

Pretty simple. In fact I just picked up a quarter and practiced (20+ years out of practice) and have some observations:
1) harder than when I was a kid, my fingers are lot bigger + stronger so it's not as precise from the start. A bigger and heavier coin would help.
2) the timing factor is bigger than I recalled.. essentially you can watch the coin flipping and get a subconscious/automatic/predictable sort of count/feedback to it. You can bring your hand up to the coin in the air at a precise moment pretty easily and "tell" (>90% accuracy today of the flips I just did that I considered successful before looking at the result) if the flip was predictable. Hand eye coordination, spatial awareness is very correlated to this skill, I suppose.
3) it really is the same side that comes up.. again I think because of the automatic watching/count/completion of full rotations, i.e. catching the coin at the end of a full rotation instead of a partial.

Came in handy occasionally.. if I knew I was going to be wrong (other person usually waits to call mid-flip) I could catch the coin a little lower to give myself a chance, or punk them by not putting it on the back of my hand as is more standard (they might demand a re-flip.. kind of like if you are playing rock paper scissors and one person goes on 3 and the other on 4).
Just curious, where in the wikipedia article does it say Private jets don't use leaded gas ?

Just searching the article for "lead" only gets this quote: "The possibility of environmental legislation banning the use of leaded avgas (fuel in spark-ignited internal combustion engine, which usually contains tetraethyllead (TEL), a toxic substance added to prevent engine knocking), and the lack of a replacement fuel with similar performance, has left aircraft designers and pilot's organizations searching for alternative engines for use in small aircraft."

Also a reference to "Planemakers challenged to find unleaded fuel option - The Wichita Eagle" a 2009 article which has a dead link.

Curious to me why you would cite an article that says the opposite of your assertion and then repeat the definitive statement. I must be missing something.
So is most of electricity. None of that matters for the future.
It's an option.

But short-range trucks can operate with batteries just fine, and for long-range trucks it might end up being more viable to just construct overhead wires[0] above long-distance highways and avoid the problem altogether.

Couldn’t you have enrolled in a plan that would have covered your treatment after the fact? I think you have 30 days to do so after losing coverage. I agree that the current system in the US is insane, but what was your plan originally for when you lost coverage?
Well, if you are going in the direction of tighter QA integration, there are several interesting things that tools like JIRA are missing, and sometimes plugins try to complement, but not quite.

If we accept that bug tracker is to be a planning program, then QA usually needs a lot more than a free-form JIRA story can offer. QA really needs what they call "test plans".

Usually, to test a feature QA, beside writing tests, needs to organize it as an activity, which might be also relevant to release management, but in general may touch on other product life-cycle phases. This comes from the fact that some rare activities performed by QA are not worth automating, and sometimes are very hard to automate (eg. uploading the program to some kind of third-party store, where it needs to be approved by the store's moderators, sometimes requiring back-and-forth with developers / QA / release management). Other typical QA tasks would include producing reports, producing or studying release notes, studying feature definitions, and perhaps, scheduling meetings with people responsible for the said features.

Sometimes QA needs to run a proper scientific research, with all that entails: research planning and execution which are often also quite regimented, but would need to be built on top of tools like JIRA which don't offer any structure to the story, and the existing superstructures of stories (eg. epics or various links between issues) don't cover because they act more like arrays or trees, where what you want is structs / documents.

On the other side, project managers need a structured and formal way to deliver product requirements to R&D, from which QA will later have to produce tests. Again, free-form issues aren't enough here because the structure will have to be written down as free-form text, but will be very repetitive, unverifiable and lead to feature planning mistakes.

If a bug tracker offered a more structured approach to feature planning by formalizing the aspects of this process, this may lead to generation of program stubs as well as test stubs (the promise UML made but never really delivered).
If you are allowed to cheat, you can also spin the coin to not flip at all.
Interesting! A worthy task, monitoring endangered gulls.
