Besides what others have said, I think non-tech savvy users get a huge benefit from passkeys. Imagine the people that aren’t already using password managers (probably most people). With passkeys there’s no way they can reuse or leak a password. Passkeys are quite easy to use.
Binding arbitration WAS the new hotness. Some companies have learned that at scale it's a nightmare. Works for one case, falls over for 10,000 who refuse to bind to a single case and pursue the action, at your company cost.
It's not any more idiotic than allowing untrained people to drive cars on those same roads.
You do, because now all phones have ugly camera bumps and can't lie flat on the table without a case.

Why can't make phones thicker, to match the camera bumps, filling the extra space with battery, is beyond me.
> Why would we allow a country that bans all our news and social media tech companies to operate their company here?

I agree 100%. We don’t need to make it any more complicated than this simple argument.
There's the risk of breaking the system when using system python. Install some dependency for your script that changes something that a core service is depending on in an unexpected way can lead to hours of tracking down the issue. Or a full reinstall in the extreme. That's why users are to avoid using system python.

But if you value that ubiquity more than your sanity, I hope you find and fix any breakage yourself and not pester other devs for support.
This is essentially the Federal Government biggest single gun against local corruption - as I recall, it's what officers who beat Rodney King were eventually prosecuted under.

> Who's upset here about the hordes of horse manure cleaners that lost their jobs due to the advent of cars?

False dichotomy. Not every modern-day twitch celeb would be shoveling manure. And another false dichotomy: I was not arguing for either NOW or THE TIME before cars. And I wonder how many people would trade their modern influence job for shoveling manure in return for living in an area with cleaner air. Also, ask the question again to people living NEXT to tire factories that stink and whose only job is collecting garbage NOW like bottles from trash because they don't have enough education to get a proper job.

Besides, I am one of those "influencers" -- not exactly on Twitch, but a full-time content creator. And I WOULD go back to those times.

Why is it that every time I bring up the dangers of technology, some techie HAS to bring up cars versus manure shovelers, as if that settles every argument about the dangers of technology? Rather intellectually stifled, I feel. And rejecting technology doesn't mean going back to the way things WERE; rather it means making changes NOW to go to a NEW future that has less technology.
If the agreement at the time is anything like the current agreement, this is a serious misrepresentation to the court.

The terms do require Disney+ users to "agree to resolve, by binding individual arbitration as provided below, all Disputes" with some IP exceptions.

But "Disputes" is a term of art that "includes any claim, dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or common law, between you and Disney concerning the Disney Products or this Agreement" (emphasis added).

What are the Disney Products? They are "certain websites, software, applications, content, products, and services in any media format or channel."

I hope the lawyers get sanctioned and disbarred.
It wasn’t too long ago I began to understand that lawyers are just hackers, but instead of computers they hack the law. For some, hacking the law is a game - to the point where they can lose sight of the humanity intrinsic in law and simply try to penetrate through the vulnerabilities while seeking a “win”.
There has never been a widely popular far-left platform in the US. The Democratic platform is maybe slightly left of center.
Great idea, but this works only if you have your clients Twitter accounts.
Passkeys (and FIDO keys generally) are mutually-authenticating, which makes them phishing resistant. Phishing resistance is enormously important.
> In addition, it is also forbidden to transfer an object for a distance of 4 cubits

This gave me pause.
Kishida is about 7 years older than Harris.
If you have a Twitter account, you agree to arbitration if someone drives their Tesla, on auto pilot, into your bedroom. Damages are limited to your Twitter subscription fee, or $1.

I can see it happening.
As an aside, the smallest ball is a few hours travel by bicycle, or two days on foot. Planet Earth is large, but it brought home how it is not so large. I would have guessed that 35 miles was a lot smaller than is shown.
Yeah it’s easier than ever right until you lose your iPhone and buy an android.
This would happen on X as well given its lax content moderation, so should the US government forcibly ban it?

Maybe I'm a free speech absolutist. I don't think the gov't should be able to ban any app for the content on that app (barring extreme things like csam, etc.)
And don’t forget revocation of birthright citizenship! (Ugh.)
While I know many people want others to be banned for this type of material and these comments removed, as someone who grew up as a 15 year old during peak 4chan years I have a different perspective that might be enlightening to anyone older.

There are games, stories, books and movies filled with murder, rape, nazis, evil, gore, antiheroes etc. I was never once motivated to replicate that behaviour. It was always just something crazy/bad people did. All my friends also knew the world is full of crazy people who believe crazy things.

Every guy in my school had seen 4chan atleast if not pol.

At the end of the day what prevents people from turning evil is being raised well. You could ban all depictions of rape/murder in the world but we would still have rapists, racists, theives, and murderers.

I am a free speech absolutist. I do not believe the cost of hiding evil in the way you advocate would meaningfully influence how many evil people are created. I do believe letting the government enforce or police it in any way might seem okay in the short term but overall harm us in the long term.
Comparing Different "SQL over HTTP" APIs
I presume native advertising on youtube has more strict vetting (i.e. needs to comply with advertising regulations unlikely to be out and out scam etc) then creator sponsored content.

Some sponsored content seems like borderline scams to me I see a lot of creators shilling for stuff like "not a bank" banking apps etc.
You're setting an extremely obnoxious tone by capitalizing random words like that. I suggest that you edit your post if you want to be taken seriously.

That sounds proportionate to me. They get to make profits, and I get to use their improvements if they also benefit me.

This can foster more community than if MIT code were to be taken and locked behind closed doors, for profit and to no benefit for the devs that made it possible.
There's going to be less content, which will likely still be more than enough content.
He made the app and probably thinks that spamming it everywhere is a good marketing strategy.

I think it’s a terribile plan but who am I to judge.
Password managers are phishing resistant. The browser plugin will not offer to autocomplete passwords on an identical-looking punycode domain.

A sufficiently long, randomly generated password is also database-leak resistant. Good luck brute-forcing a 128-bit random string, hashed with scrypt or whatever.

So the only significant advantage is replay resistance. Which might or might not be a big deal, but let's not overplay the advantages.
One of the most common platform combos on the planet (Chrome + Windows) still doesn't natively support cloud sync for passkeys apparently? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/13168025

Is that true?
A graph of people, who they know, their movements, lifestyles, and political beliefs is mostly certainly a national security concern, regardless of whether it's widely known.

Addressing "change the algorithm to promote their own talking points" is what I meant by "maintain competition by requiring open interoperability". Bundling content publishing/hosting services together with client presentation software (including feed ranking editorialization) is anticompetitive and should be prohibited by requiring published APIs for all interaction between the two products. Then users could use competitive clients to access TikTok content (and Facebook content, etc), rather than having to suffer whatever manipulation has been deemed legally acceptable.
I jumped ship after they stopped using Qualcomm chips and the battery life went way down. The S24+ has been a much better phone.

Passkeys are basically a protocol upgrade for password managers. A limitation is that you have to use a password manager, but the protocol is more secure.

If you have a password manager you like, maybe it’s for the best?

Maybe use more than one password manager, just in case.
The former president instigated a violent insurrection, and now he’s back and getting interviewed by the platform owner. Alex Jones spent years harassing parents of murdered children and he’s back as well. The list of reinstated right wingers who very obviously violated platform policy goes on and on.
I've never worked with Java before.

Out of curiosity, do you think the game's architecture and tech stack would be easily portable to a more modern setup, or would it require a significant rewrite?
What a wonderful read - thank you
Isn’t that a “for now” problem rather than something intractable for the performance anyway? Presumably HW and SW algorithms will continue to improve. Art directable may be a problem but it feels like Gaussian splats + genAI models could be a match made in heaven with the genAI mode generating the starting image and splats generating the 3d scene from it
That is not evidence (in the scientific sense) but a narrative created for TV from many viewpoints. Whether this scene omitted crucial factors (eg. replenishing/resupplying the hunters, whether the animal was injured, whether this was a one-off/outlier/staged etc.) as has been proven in similar other videos/movies (see for example https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/a-long-running-myth/ and https://afan.ottenheimer.com/articles/myth_of_persistent_hun...) is not known. There are just too many questions to take this at face value.
Twitter users deserve it these days though.
> I can get away without wearing them

Yes, this sentence. Right here. This is why you can't get why many people really don't want to just wear glasses.
> healthcare disproportionately high compared to other things?

it's because the number you're comparing to is from other countries, where they subsidize their own citizen's healthcare.

The US's healthcare system has become a convoluted mess, and the competition you mention is not sufficient.
What are people’s thoughts on the UIX of a sign in page initially with only a single username input?

In my view, it is a backwards step. First, I can’t do username <tab> password <enter>. Secondly, with auto fill, it requires two clicks to sign in.

I can understand it for Microsoft login where push notification login is an option. Otherwise, I’m not sure it is a great design pattern.

I would prefer a regular sign in page, with a button to sign in with passkey (which also does not require username input).
Well, cat and echo can't run other programs, so no they wouldn't qualify. I'd have to check the nano docs to see if it can spawn other programs, but I'd be shocked if it's any good at it. In stark contrast, emacs can and is good at running programs, including interactively in terminals that it manages itself. I'm happy to agree that the kernel is a big part of the OS, but a kernel alone does not an OS make.
> That kind of assumes Oracle is lying about the data

No actually. Tiktok at one point already admitted that they spied on journalists.

This is something that Tiktok has already done.
I haven't heard this articulated yet but it's very convincing. Thanks for sharing
I predict we will soon learn that the attorney who filed the motion "on behalf of Disney" was hired by an insurance company providing bodily injury insurance coverage for the restaurant; and that Disney had no knowledge of the motion or its legal argument; and that Disney disagrees with the purported legal position taken.

By way of background: I am a retired trial attorney and spent 40 years litigating cases involving insurance.
Thanks, this is all completely new to me!
It's also roughly a ~month before next iPhone, which is significant. I doubt many people will switch, but getting ahead of hype cycle is probably valuable. Or maybe Apple will see what from Google marketing has not landed and adjust decks accordingly.
To the parent comment's point, even after reading the post I'm still not sure I understand why this is better.

- replay resistant: doesn't ssl already ensure this?

- database-leak resistant: if i'm understanding this correctly, this means a leaked database on the Fastmail side wouldn't compromise your Fastmail account? It's hard for me to imagine a situation where a compromise is serious enough that passwords are leaked, but nothing else?

- phishing proof: don't password managers already do this?
Yeah I have premium and TBH expect creators over XYZ size to spend a few minutes to timestamp/chapter their sponsorships and youtube to enable autoskipping. Or have youtube crawl through transcripts and figure it out.

The problem is the people willing to pay for premium likely much more valuable customers for sponsorships to target.
Focus on the problem that is being solved, not the mechanism. Consider this classic trick:

handle = (exists(file) and open(file))

That uses the short-circuiting behaviour of && to only open a file if it exists. Not great practice to write it in that way IMO but whatever. You can't implement it as a function:

handle = and(exists(file), open(file))

def and(exists, file):
... No viable implementation in Python afaik ...

That doesn't work because functions arguments don't/can't implement short circuiting - both arguments are evaluated before our function is called (although we could make it work in this case by passing the file name in - the point is that the function signature has to change).

Macros however can implement something that has short circuiting behaviour. It is a mechanism for implementing new syntax - more powerful than functions but as a trade off more error prone. Quasiquoting and whatever falls out of that as implementation details once you've got all that as context.
nice work!

how are you handling angled walls, is there any transformation detection of is it to be done manually by the user?
The stationary bandit theory of government posits that organized crime cartels are in control of every single nation-state on the planet. E.g. the bandits in Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954) who wait until the village completes its harvest before plundering them are the best model for the establishment of stable governments where the plundering is organized and relatively non-violent. After all, as Frank Herbert says in one of his Dune books, "A small minority in contol of a large majority is not unusual in history". Getting the other monkeys to get your food while you sit on your rear degenerating into slothfulness is a nice gig if you can get it, I suppose.

Of course, if all the other monkeys get wise to your game you're going to have to institute more violent measures to retain your position, and mass surveillance is a means to that end. Which is why the Saudis buy all that Israeli spyware, to keep their own population in line, right?
This seems insane to me. It's not that hard to have a ballpark awareness of how much things cost. You need accountants etc because you need to ensure that all of the little things are done, not so that everyone else in the business can be unaware of the business case for their product.

Yes, you shouldn't care about lot sizes and cost breaks (unless they are significant deciding factors), but knowing that one operation is going to cost 2x another, largely equivalent operation is relvant/important.

Hey, I think you can work a bit on your landing page and colors. They seem too distracting.
Also, a demo video helps a lot.
I havent tried the app fully, but the idea looks promising.
I would agree if this were the reason. But it's not the reason. The US gov't admits this is largely due to unrestricted Palestinians being able to post on TikTok when US social media is forced to ban them (Meta, etc.)

I just don't think my gov't should be able to ban me from seeing information online. I hate China, but I hate my government banning my own consumption of media more.
I found the link to the actual filling. I can’t really read legalise but it seem like this is accurate.

There is a growing trend of companies inserting "mass arbitration" or "coordinated filing" clauses into their contracts. It isn't clear if these will be enforceable.

The arbitration providers (AAA, JAMS, etc.) have also started implementing their own "mass arbitration" provisions. In some cases even providing subscription bulk pricing.

Other problems: https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/#mass-arbit...

> They probably just mean in terms of reversability

No, everything I read says the ICL procedure is higher risk than LASIK. The risk is infection after the surgery.
I hate that with passion. Though I don't know the technical reason behind this workflow.
This will absolutely change in the next decade.
Maybe because they need to do that every day with variations and automating away the monotonous chore is one of the main points of writing code.

How has banning TikTok helped India or changed the situation at all? What did they gain from it, in your opinion? As an Indian, it seems to just be another in a long list of app / internet bans and controls from a country that bans every thought and news the government doesn't like. For a country whose most prominent journalists are forced to post news reporting on YouTube as all channels have been grabbed by the ruling party, of course they will jump to banning things they don't like.

Do Americans want the US to be like that?
> so it now seems more likely that our model of the universe is wrong.

Anyone with an ounce of sense should have concluded that LCDM was wrong long ago. Hopefully this will finally cause physicists to actually try something different.
I have been using a password manager for 16 years, and as much as I always want to use autofill, there are still situations where I need to either copy/paste the password, or reveal the password and type it in.

I don’t think we’re at a point where I can 100% trust that the password manager will be able to handle every situation I run into from now until forever, and that’s what passkeys are asking for. I don’t see it.
Marketing, storytelling, and communication are three soft skills that help you climb money tree. All three are intermingled but are essential for everyone to achieve success. Learnt it working in a corporate, honing these skills now.
I totally agree with your points.
I don’t know what it says, but I managed to break a 15 Pro lens WITH a Tech21 case, dropping from about 3’ on concrete on the corner (not flat on the lens). It may be that Apple covers the actual lens with a cover, but whatever that outer surface was, it was replaced for $29 with Apple Care and didn’t require a new phone. Not a big deal, but makes me hesitant to carry it without a case.
UK authorities threaten extradition, jail to US citizens for online posts
But even with passkey you have:

- a password, which still can be brute forced if done authentication service doesn’t play nice

- resets still need to work somehow

The only good thing about it is that you will know which auth device is used for a session and that you don’t need 2fa afaict. Unfortunately most information about sessions and attempts isn’t communicated by 99% of the services
Should what? Haven’t I already expressed that I think it’s absurd for them to care? Am I now, on your prompt, supposed to rattle off the reasons why they should do it when I think it’s hard to understand to begin with?
Exactly, there is no "engineering" separate from the beans.

Anyone can make a bridge that stands. It takes an engineer to make one that barely stands. The same largely goes for computer systems.

while i agree with you, this is different.

imagine this scenario: you're just a simple teen being born in a certain country, not having to do with any kind of conflict or politics, and you're bombarded with hate comments like "jump" and "keys", which are euphemisms for self-harm, and even "baby killer" for simply belonging to a certain population or ethnicity.

i have experienced this firsthand - i received these exact replies on a comment i posted on a cute cat video.

no one, especially not an innocent person, should be subjected to such treatment.
Who said it’s a ‘complete existential crisis’?

It’s just a fact of reality that no one else on HN can verify with certainty whether or not you are a genuine, bonafide, human being, especially online.

Everyone who is engaging with you is just assuming you are.
> If you think there are others, please exhibit one.

I could easily do that (god tinkering with our measurements? we live in a simulation?) but explanations by themselves are worthless. Any set of facts can be "explained" but it doesn't really help.

The science is concerned with theories that don't just explain known facts and measurements but also predict new ones. These are also known as falsifiable theories because a theory is falsifiable IFF it predicts at least one new observation that can be actually made and tested.

Now even these can obviously be constructed ad infinitum. For your question of alternatives to expansion, take a theory from the same field (e.g. tired light), then take facts it doesn't fit and make specific ad-hoc carve-outs for these facts in the theory. Sure it makes it ugly and complex but it remains a scientific falsifiable theory. Furthermore this exact things happens very often in the scientific community because theories don't fall immediately when the first contradiction is found. They only fall when a better theory appears to supersede them and until then they just develop a "protective belt of ad-hoc assumptions" as Lakatos called it. No need to mention that the same thing will happen to the "better theory" in due time.

I write all of this not because I have a good cosmological theory sitting in my closet but rather because your statement "The totality of all the observations we have cannot be explained in any other way than an expanding universe" is outright false. As I show above it not only can be explained in an infinite number of ways, but you can also construct and infinite number of scientific theories that fit the totality of observations. Because this "totality" is alas finite.

This reminds me of my school math teacher who once told me that "the sequence 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720 cannot be explained other way than by n!". A pity I didn't know about Lagrange Polynomials at that age and had to spend the whole evening to construct a fitting polynomial by hand.
