I just replaced all my OTPs stored in Authy by passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain. It works perfectly fine with both Safari and Chrome 118, and is synced between my Mac and iPhone with end-to-end encryption.

I’m using it with Google, GitHub, Facebook, Gandi, Fastmail, and Stripe. On some of these websites, the passkey is still seen as security key for 2FA instead of a “real” passkey not requiring a password at all.

Apple and Google are putting a lot of effort in making this work well and it shows.

While in Germany police are routinely armed with pistols, heavier weapons like MPs are used for serious incidents only, usually. This includes soccer games, and transport to/from those (my main encounters with MP-wielding police officers is when I happen to go to the train station while there’s a local soccer game where others arrive, or one where the fans go to via train)

Stadia would have worked out if it wasn't Google with their tradition to kill products, and thinking developers would trust such a company to rewrite their Windows/DirectX games into GNU/Linux / Vulkan.

One of the last actions to try to rescue Stadia was to finally accept game development starts on Windows.
It's a bit what I was getting at. Culture and environment are often sufficient to explain outcome disparities between groups, even in the absence of discrimination.

> How were life choices controlled for in these studies?

The studies would consider lynching as a form of discrimination. I can't recommend the book enough if you are curious about the topic, it cites numerous studies.

The overall conclusion is that we shouldn't expect equal outcomes even in a world devoid of discrimination. The most obvious example of that are the various minority, and discriminated against, groups that outperform majority groups (e.g. the Chinese in Malaysia, American Jewish, etc.).

“Whats utterly crap is the way large people are hounded into expensive seats on specious "it's your lifestyle" reason”

I disagree. Airplane tickets are expensive and the seats are already extremely cramped. If you don’t adequately fit in your seat, why should the person at your side have to suffer?
Yes, I believe perception is skewed due to how people categorize their experiences:

If someone speaks perfect English, gets all the in-jokes and is in general great to work with, you'll think of them as a "team member", even if they happen to be from India. But if someone has problems with the language, doesn't get the jokes, and/or has a vastly different timezone, you'll remember them as distinctly "Indian".

That means if someone asks you to remember experiences with Indian coworkers, you might be more likely to recall the people that didn't work out well, because they stood out more strongly.
Like I said, the same can be said about any industry on this planet. That this fact is mind-boggling for you shows that you haven't really ever thought about energy consumption. That you see this as a weakness of bitcoin shows that you approach bitcoin with the preconception that it is useless, and that you try to find facts that suit your view.
A first or second year (undergrad) student doing theoretical science to this level is astounding to me. It was an upper-division course for me, albeit a prerequisite for things like compilers and cryptography, so I'm sure it could be put earlier in the journey.

Sipser's "Introduction to the Theory of Computation" was the book I had to read, and it certainly makes this post more accessible.

To be pedantic, the median American does not own a firearm. There's a steel-manned version of your point which is valid, however.
This is true for every tech company outside of Silicon Valley as well.

I doubt the process is even specific to tech companies. Code is work, and the one thing that signals moving up the social ladder is not having to work. That has been true for a large part of history.

Programming is often a bit of a special case when in the context of work because we it so completely isolated from the physical process of work. Programming fundamentally is describing processes at multiple abstraction levels all at once, and therefore inseparable from software architecture. This is also why it can be hard to humans to learn.

(This, incidentally, is also why I despise each and every one using the term automation in a programming context. Running a command and clicking a web interface is conceptually identical, one is not more automated than the other.)

> to pretend like “Defund the Police” ever meant “stop paying all police and don’t do anything different” is purposeful ignorance at this point (2.5 years after it was popularized).

You may not like it, but you don't control what "defund the police" means to everyone. There absolutely are people who mean it different ways, and it's not "willful ignorance", it's just the standard linguistic challenge of using an ambiguous pithy expression which then becomes overloaded as different people try to declare "what it really means."

US police forces should be nationalized. Having small fiefdoms just encourages bad and undisciplined police behavior. If you look at any US Federal staff, they're typically superior in their level of education, training and professionalism compared to their state counterparts.

Plus, having a national system would prevent small towns from answering to a single person with ultimate local authority.
We are not pessimistic about technology, just the few who own and control it. Markets? Literally everything was developed in the public sector. The two leading drivers of technological development in the 20th century was the US government and soviet union, none of it relying on market forces. If anything markets are local optimizations with the wrong loss function.
Probably best advise in the thread, appreciate the practical bits. Will just have to launch with what we have (and we have way too much for a MVP, to the point that documenting/presenting is a PITA)

I know that I've been deceiving myself with "but we can't launch that when this or that is not working or not implemented..." and got carried away.

"fail fast" is a good advice, but at the same time scary to face the reality that after 5 years, there might not be anyone who really needs it or can pay for it. Scary.

My biggest gripe with Google is how the ranking algorithm has essentially killed any innovation on the content and user experience part of the web.

I was searching for some poems by Pablo Neruda. The first few results all had awfully designed pages filled with ads, pop ups, bad fonts - things you don’t want to see when reading a poem.

Yet, these awful sites continue to dominate the SERPs for queries like these because they are all ancient, have tons of backlinks from ages ago, and thus in the eyes of Google, are “authoritative”.

No one wants to put in the effort to create a website that collects, say, poems with a better user experience because they know that most traffic will come from search and they can’t really rank against these ugly old dinosaurs.

LVT doesn't encourage infinite development on all land - it encourages the efficient use of land.

If you replaced property taxes with land value taxes and held revenue equal:

For rural areas, not much would change. Land is cheap and taxes would remain low.

For suburban areas, there would be a moderate shift in tax burden. People with homes on large plots of land would pay more; people with homes on smaller plots of land would pay less.

For urban areas, the changes would be drastic. Because land is limited in urban cores and appreciates in value every year, there's an absurd amount of speculation. An LVT would discourage this by making it costly to hold onto undeveloped or underdeveloped land just for future price gains. As a result, we could expect a surge in the development of vacant or underutilized plots, leading to a potential increase in housing availability and a decrease in rental prices. This would both alleviate housing shortages and reduce the speculative bubbles that can distort urban real estate markets.

> if they believe there's any room at all for 'reasonable disagreement' on the matter among other judges

Sure. And given the officers consulted the "City’s Law Director and the judges who issued the warrants," there was evidence of that disagreement. There were no similar consultations in Petersen's case.

> until officers and officials start getting held personally liable for these events, they will never stop happening

I don't believe there is evidence for this. Municipalities vigorously defend themselves for a reason. Yes, in large systems, the cost gets baked in--but Newton isn't a big nor rich town.

> he might get something from the municipality, but I doubt he'll get anything from the mayor or PD

I agree. And I think that could even be fair, especially if the mayor and cop thought they were acting according to the law. The law they relied on didn't come out of nowhere, after all.

In the end, if the only thing that comes out of this is the non-disparagement rule being struck down, I think that's a win. (I generally believe we need qualified immunity reform. But that needs to happen through statute.)
It is and some projects do it already, it's just that 99% of developers don't have the necessary knowledge to do it properly or don't even care (until they do)

I.e. set up your own git server + web frontend, get a domain name from "DMCA-ignoring" registrar, same with hosting, pay with Monero etc.

...or they know all of this but are reluctant to proceed for some irrational reason, along the lines of "they will get me anyway", "it doesn't matter" and so on
I think this is becoming fairly normal, it's similar to the Playdate; they don't take orders, they take pre-orders, and only once they have enough pre-orders will they actually file an order at the manufacturers. I'm sure this is how most "niche electronics" parties operate.

Prop 13 has the opposite effect of what was intended.

If you stay put and don't move, your property taxes won't go up much. So you can vote for all the govt spending you want: don't move and you won't have to pay for it.

I'm not saying people are "getting away with" low taxes. I'm saying that people are "getting away with" high spending.

The standard libraries on Windows don't involve libc.
The Windows APIs look rather different, and in general are much more friendly to multi-threading. POSIX on the other hand tends to assume that the program is in control of everything happening inside of it, which is an incorrect assumption due to libraries.

In this particular case, the Windows APIs have neither getaddrinfo() nor getenv(); and the closest equivalent GetEnvironmentVariableW is perfectly thread-safe.
Microsoft additionally has a C runtime (msvcrt) providing functions like getenv(), but this is much less fundamental than it is on other system. Every program is supposed to ship its own copy of the C runtime, it's not officially part of Windows! And it's perfectly possible for multiple different copies of the C runtime to be loaded into the same Windows process. And since *environ is a variable defined by the C runtime, there's a different copy for each C runtime...
Changing the structure would not magically educate them. It would only introduce worse problems (of centralization).

The fairly obvious solution here is to stop integration at the point where a truth table can be made of a single chip. That would allow you to exhaustively verify your design. It would run slower but there is no way that I can imagine that would allow a lowly logic circuit to suddenly become something else and both know it's place in the whole circuit, have access to an interesting datastream and be able to exfiltrate all at the same time.

But once circuitry gets more complicated and chips become more integrated you can do just that because the only thing that would need to change is the contents of one single chip.

There was a big scare around small components used to insert new code into target machinery:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-h...

But that - if true - mostly hinged on being able to dynamically alter the software loaded into a high level design where the purpose, wiring diagram and target were intimately known to the attackers, all they had to do was engage in camouflaging their part as something innocent, any kind of component level audit would show that this part - which apparently wasn't on the circuit diagram in the first place - performed to its normal specifications.

Initially I was quite skeptical but then a while later this appeared:

And with this file as background:

That makes the attack sound more plausible. The practical upshot is that if you outsource your fabrication to an unknown third party that you can never be sure what you get unless your skills are orders of magnitude better than theirs. This goes for normal hardware and probably for high value targets and networking components you will have to be extra careful. But I'd be just as careful with for instance large battery packs or things that can be turned on or off remotely. (But that's getting away from component level bad stuff and into the realm of 'normal' attack vectors into embedded hardware.)

Scrum masters don't really need to be super technical right? They just need to make sure the rituals work and eventually make themselves redundant. I'm an IC and thinking of following some courses so I can fill that role in my team but only because it may give some credence to the rituals, not because my technical insights make it better. I think the rituals can add value but only if they're taken seriously - otherwise they're a waste of time.

Just setup passkeys on my Amazon account.

1. Asking for OTP after using a passkey is redundant and annoying
2. Not listing the keys individually makes management hard - I can't remove a single Yubikey, or Windows Hello or my phone. If anything is replaced it will just keep accumulating in my account. It should list each passkey individually and allow me to give a name to each one.

Why do people pretend to do therapy to make money? If you can simply open a dude ranch and let people talk in a group during afternoon coffee break, why is that considered legitimate therapy? What's the difference between some dude with a dude ranch and a bachelor's in engineering and organizational psychology calling himself a life coach and someone with a PhD in clinical psychology who put time and energy into studying the science and getting vetted? Why is the spectrum so wide? Can I not simply start being a life coach ala Jeremy in Peep show, fuck with people's lives for 100£ an hour, then take the alcoholics anonymous cop out that the program works if you work it blaming you for any and all problems or difficulties you have along the way? If men need to go to some kind of dude ranch experience to connect with something that's fine I guess. Im not really talking about the men who seek these experiences. Moreso the ones who offer them.
Yes it looks like a trick to circumvent taxes. But it wont work.

I take your point though; but the real reason everything in aviation is so expensive is that it is traceable, documented, and with known MTBFs and characteristics -- all requirements that are completely and utterly written in blood.
