There are two names that the end user should see today (WebAuthn for older apps, Passkey for modern stuff). U2F is a pretty old name that may still pop up, but I'm not sure if any user facing software ever used that name to begin with. Most likely, the names facing the user are "security key" or "passkey".

FIDO2 is a standard set up by a couple of authentication companies and stakeholders. U2F was basically an earlier attempt at that. FIDO UAF is a protocol for authenticating, CTAP is a protocol for communicating with hardware. 2FA is just a generic term for "multiple factors", like combining a PIN with your fingerprint. WebAuthn is the web API for authenticating with security keys.

Most of them do indeed come down to public key cryptography. The challenge is providing a public key API that works across hardware vendors, supports attestation, and allows for things like "use your phone to verify your login if your computer's TPM isn't sufficient". They all solve a different problem in the chain, and the names have changed a bit over the decades.

If you're building software now, use the word "passkeys". Apple and Google have stuck with those names, and they're named a lot friendlier than "WebAuthn".
I would take the "Pro-Israeli" views coming out of India with a heavy grain of salt.

The tweets you see of "India Israel" and the like are largely from troll farms intending to use the event to antagonize local Muslims that fall on the opposite part of the political spectrum they support. The average Indian is neither aware of the nuances of the overall conflict nor does he care, since it actually has extremely little to do with his daily life.
This got me to thinking, I would totally learn APL on a phone app. If the custom keyboard could accommodate all the symbols, the "symbolic compression" vastly lowers resistance.

They don't have to be large programs, either. Just enough to describe basic constructs, and maybe include some "programming pearls," puzzles, or poetry.

The app could have ASCII symbols pop up, toast-like, as input is entered. Over time, the mind may associate "/\" with the corresponding single key.

A cursory glance for "apl programming" doesn't turn up much, but appropriate artistry and game mechanics could turn a new generation to a form of programming where symbols--not just alphanumerics--are both arcane and wondrous (yet also pragmatic).
You won't probably get what you wish for: this is how it works in South Korea but the solution that the banks went is worse than SMS-OTP, where your bank is expected to monitor your computer (https://palant.info/2023/01/02/south-koreas-online-security-...).

For many it would be the other way around. They buy the truck because the want a truck. The integrated home powering is a nice extra option.

I’d like my next vehicle to be an EV. A truck is a little big for my needs (my cars have all been Nissan Sentras, Honda Civics, or Honda CR-Vs) but I’m in a low density area where there is no place something bigger would cause problems, and unlike an ICE truck an EV truck does not have a ridiculous cost per mile so I would be OK with a truck except for the higher upfront cost.

At the initial pricing they said they were aiming for an F-150 Lightning with just the consumer EV rebate plus the add ons for home powering would have been cheaper than getting an EV that doesn’t power the house plus a Tesla Powerwall.

If I had to buy a car right now I’d probably get a Chevy Bolt and deal with house power with a propane powered generator. Propane instead of gasoline because propane doesn’t go bad after long storage. A generator is not as nice as a battery because my loads during a power would be mostly intermittent. I’d either have to start and stop the generator a lot or waste a lot of fuel idling.

Thus I’d prefer a battery system but they are a lot more expensive than a generator, largely because you need enough battery capacity for the whole outage. With a generator you just need enough fuel storage for the outage or a willingness to occasionally go buy more fuel during the outage.

It might be reasonable to do a mixed approach. A battery with enough capacity to handle a few hours plus a generator that could be used to charge the battery. I’ve not yet seriously analyzed this.
DRM is optional for Steam games, I think that's a pretty good balance between the interest of game developers vs the interest of user, it's an issue between users and game devs, not between users and Steam.

The more important point is though that the Steam DRM is hassle-free for the user. For instance games (with macOS ports) I already bought for PC I can also just install on my Mac, with save games automatically shared between the two. I don't have to buy a separate Mac version (as would be the case with Xbox vs Playstation), nor do I need to pay extra, so there's no incentive to pirate the Mac version.
Define unknown?

I’m not ashamed to admit that I often download obscure games I see on steam to see if they’ll actually hook me or not. I pay for what I actually am able to sink my teeth in to.

The vast majority of movies I download are me going out on a limb. In some cases I’m subscribed to a service they’re available on. I still download them though because I’d prefer to use my own player on my own terms. You can’t even get higher than 720p on Netflix on PC without using edge. Horseshit. It is also not infrequent that there is no way for me to pay someone to watch it online. I’m not going to buy a used copy of a DVD/blu-ray to watch something I’m interested in. Ain’t nobody making money off a used copy. Is resale of used media ethical?
Not each week, but at my university, they had enough focus on the science part that most semester long solo projects were semester long and solo only in name. Students were assigned some component or incremental stage of some larger project spanning years and multiple PhDs, not some assignment for assignment's sake. That certainly did not make them perfect learning environments because students were left to their own in how they solve cooperation (postgrads running those macro projects might be considered PO, but not technical leads, and just as clueless as the rest) but the "pass on to the next each week" approach would have exactly the same gaps.
Copying isn’t stealing, full stop. But this new catch phrase is just stupid. It sounds like one of those “checkmate atheist” gottcha’s. A conditional license, no matter how shitty the terms, is what you’re buying, you only assumed you were buying something more. It does not then follow that “pirating isn’t stealing”, that’s just a fact that stands on its own.
I know this is a joke, too, but I worry that you aren't seeing the joke if you think there is something here. This is a setup to take in dollars from everyone and arbitrage the sentiment difference across the userbase, effectively meaning they don't have to pay anything and just take the dollars home. That's the joke. And anyone who actually would put in dollars are who the joke would be being played upon were it real.
Now that Bitwarden supports passkeys, I hope the "copy 2fa code to clipboard" approach to 2fa integration will soon come to an end.

This is not about inflationary pricing. This is companies using broader inflation "memes" as a cover story to stuff their pockets.

They are affiliated in as far as one of the original Godot authors is the one of the founders of W4 (Juan Linietsky). However, I think it would help avoid misunderstandings if W4 communicated clearly how much they are dedicating to open source development and how much is closed source stuff only related to Godot.
In terms of “airdroppability to disaster zones”, hardly anything beats cardboard beds[0].

It is true that the field hospital in TFA is a much comprehensive solution. I just wonder what an equivalent would be if designed with similar minimalistic principles to the cardboard bed.

I'm not sure what market equilibrium you're referring to. If things always balanced out in the long-term, our economic situation would resemble the 1950's or 60's, where a single-income household could comfortably afford a suburban house and raise kids. Instead, we have people living under their parents' roof until 30 or longer, enormous college debt loads, majority of families relying on two incomes (and often, one or both parents moonlighting at a second job), housing costs taking a larger slice of total incomes than ever before, married couples refraining from having kids as an economic decision, more people than ever relying on some form of government subsidy. None of these factors would be growing if some long-term equilibrium existed, because at some point, we'd be reverting to the mean. Instead, society's lifestyles have slowly shifted in response to the fact that, over the long-term, producers have become increasingly effective at extracting a larger and larger share of consumers' incomes, and ultimately, realized and potential wealth.

Yeah but imagine if there was something like this for real, only the dollars weren't greedily kept, but spent in some way that people on both sides support. Like, maybe pro-choice and anti-abortion supporters would both support the excess money going to support new mothers or adoption programs.
Depending on your level of trust in Bitwarden and your security model, you could consider unlocking the Bitwarden vault with a security key, and then using Bitwarden's passkey support to authenticate to websites. It's not really 2FA, but it works around the resident key limitation.

There's also a nifty app that implements CTAP2 on Android Wear, and basically act like an NFC/Bluetooth security key. If you have an Android Wear and don't think your watch will be hacked and rooted, this could be a useful alternative, especially in places where Google doesn't sell their Titan keys.
They can implement a system where you top up your account with credits, like Skype and many others have.
Those things aren't absent in humans. We spend trillions of dollars to make sure humans are qualified and aren't just bullshitting plausible-sounding words. (In fact, that's really the whole point of "education", which some people spend 20 years being subjected to.)
I know but I was referring to just the concept of dollar vs anti-dollar. Not the payout or anything but just the idea that companies get X dollars where X is the sum of users who voted for them. Let the people decide.

The reality is humans will find a way to make this corrupt.

> Note, like most secular Israeli men, I served in the army (though not in any kind of combat way - I was a programmer). I also know many, many reservists serving today, as does literally every Israeli. There are a lot of Israelis with views I vehemently disagree with, but very few that would target civilians for no reason. (Though obviously take this with a grain of salt - my view of the IDF is still, at the end, anecdotal to me - my circle of acquaintences don't represent a true random sample of the army.)

Combat soldier here, both in mandatory service and in reserves. I've served with literally hundreds of other combat soldiers and officers over the course of decades. I've never seen anybody either target civilians nor suggest doing so. Even a joke such as "what if so and so..." by a soldier was severely punished in my mandatory service, and nobody would make such a joke in reserves.

I'm sure that there are bad eggs in the IDF, but by and large the IDF as an organization completely rejects the idea of deliberately hurting civilians. And every single cog in that machine that I've met has upheld that standard.
I doubt that he was intending a burn here. He's not talking about user interface issues or the like.

He's most probably, I would assume, talking about the well-known issue that formalisation tools require knowledge that a standard mathematician doesn't possess, such as the names of all the Lean tactics, how to locate the right theorem to use in mathlib (the Lean library), the necessity to write mathematics in a very formal language which is based on dependent type theory rather than based on sets (which is what most mathematicians are used to), etc.

Moreover, formalised mathematics does not work with natural language (and perhaps can't), and it will not accept informal or intuitive arguments. There are a lot of very fiddly things that have to be attended to. One can't assume that the reader is a skilled mathematicians who can easily fill in trivial details, as when writing a maths paper for expert readers.

But the Lean people are acutely aware of all of this. In my opinion he's not so much offering them much needed criticism so much as acknowledging one of the known barriers to mathematicians from outside the formalisation community getting into formalisation.

This is a major point of the article, that real, serious mathematicians have broken through that barrier recently, and it's not the first time. So things have improved enough to show that it is possible for seriously committed mathematicians to do this, even famous ones!
Sounds way worse and not in the same skillset.

But also, what of the West bank, which has been at peace with Israel for decades. Why don't the Arabs living there have rights? Why are they without state? Because of the actions of terrorists in gaza? Should you share a punishment because you share an ethnicity?

> My kids get regular doses of “No limits!” and “You can be whatever you want!” in school, and I resent it because it simply isn’t true. You cannot actually be whatever you want. That’s harmful, sentimental garbage. Fact is, the real world is chock full of limits.

This is the danger of participation awards. It's how people end up in careers they aren't suited to.

As a society, we owe it to our children to be honest with them and guide them down paths that will satisfy the aspects of life that are important to them. It's a balancing act between ability, aptitude, drive, and personality.

Doing well in math and science does not necessarily mean that the child will be happy in a career that require those skills, especially if they actually enjoy music, art, or shop class more.

Unfortunately many of these trade-offs are presented financially to kids; that doing what you love may result in a financially challenging life, and ignore the satisfaction and mental health benefits that would derive from such a choice.
This is obviously a bit about the definition of words but I've only really heard it called stealing in the US where I think the narrative is pushed by corporate interests. In the UK where I live the offence is generally called copyright infringement because under UK law that's what it is.

Great read.

Several parts resonated with me. This one early in the article stood out:

> But the vast majority of what I know in my work has come from continuously saying “yes” to jobs I’ve never done before – I decided I could figure them out by being careful.

I learned something like the above from my dad — watching him jump head-long into things he knew nothing about (or very little about).

When I was a teenager and travelled to Alaska to visit him he had just got a job there running the water treatment plant in Homer. He took me up to the plant where he showed me how yeti all works — the huge osmosis filtration system, the small laboratory onsite for insuring the city water quality. He showed me how he draws water out and runs various tests on it. Dipping a test tube first into a bath of HCl acid (with his bare fingers) before rinsing it, filling it with sample water, then into an ultrasonic bath to release any dissolved gases, then into a device that measures the water turbidity by shining light though the glass vial and measuring the scattered light.

I knew he had taken Chemistry in college but running a water treatment plant did not seem to be on his resumé to my knowledge. "How did you know how to do this?" I asked. He pointed to a three-foot row of binders along one counter in the lab and said, "I read the manuals they keep here."

"But how did you even get the job?"

"Told them I had worked as a chemist (true), and said I could do it...."

This was a small town in Alaska so maybe things were a little looser — but still, I admired his fearlessness. Knowing him I suspect too if I had asked him what the consequences would have been if he had failed or been "found out" I am sure he would have said, as he often did, "What's the worst thing that could happen? I get fired."

I was also amazed then to see him adding a room onto his small home in town. I was not shy to add weather stripping to a door or window but once you are pouring a footer, framing, hanging drywall you were, in my mind, firmly in pro territory. Somehow my dad just jumped into it and figured he could learn it (best to learn on your own house, I guess).

What's the worst thing that could happen? He would have to hire someone to come in and finish his mess.

Since then I have tried not to have pre-supposing mental barriers as to what I can and cannot do. And in a lot of ways the world of possibilities began to open up for me.

I mention all the above because I have found throughout my life that most people seem to be like I was before my encounters with my dad started to change my perceptions. I want other people too to be unafraid to try doing a thing themselves.
This is a good example of the sort of intentional naivete of open source developers. Most people see "free" and think "gratis", not "libre". You can argue "that's not what it means" until you're blue in the face. It doesn't matter when that's how most people treat it.
You do understand that Google have been constantly touting their "hidden" technology that is far beyond anything on the market? And now with various companies entering AI race and integrating AI in their toolset, it is expected that Google would have the best result using their "hidden advanced tech".

Yet Google opted for staged demos, rather than the real "advanced" that they allegedly had. That raises questions from the stakeholders...
I think this position is a small minority in the public opinion, and is virtually non-existent in Arab countries. It doesn't help that moderate supporters of two state solution make little effort to distance themselves from the "from the River to the Sea" Israel hating crowd.

The fact that some powerful organizations are trying to complicate a matter does not make it complicated per se.

In my country the law criminalizing theft begins thus:

> Stöld

> Stöld beskrivs i 8 kap. 1 §. Stöldbrottet förekommer i tre allvarlighetsvarianter:

> * Ringa stöld (tidigare snatteri): 8 kap 2 §
> * Stöld: 8 kap 1 §
> * Grov stöld: 8 kap 4 §

> Skyddsintresset vid stöld är äganderätten. Endast lösa saker samt del till fast egendom kan ägas.

The third sentence defines property as physical.

Reading texts on international property rights it’s always quite clear what everyone is talking about. “Intellectual property” is sometimes mentioned as an aside with an extra caveat that it is not widely recognized.
The reported results are more nuanced than the headline. Workers who feel pressured to work after hours estimate their own productivity as lower than workers who don't; but workers who choose to work after hours – rather than feeling pressured to do so – report slightly _higher_ productivity.

It's tempting to conjecture that both effects – workers feeling pressured to work after hours, and feeling less productive – are caused by poor management, rather than one causing the other.
