The "article" obviously takes a maximalist interpretation of their own position. Libertarians think license plates are unconstitutional altogether, so it can't be a surprise that IJ wants ALPRs outlawed.
This kind of ossification can be reduced by pressure campaigns.

Apple is very good at these. Mobile carriers were forced into configuring IPv6 and allowing MPTCP because Apple included that as part of certification to sell iPhones. Convince Apple that TCP Fast Open is important, and they'll make it work on mobile carriers through their considerable pressure. Home networks, not so much, so you've always got to have heuristics and detection; which again, Apple is very good at; they've had effective and rapid fallback for bad path MTU on iPhones for a lot longer than Androids, even though the Android kernel had options for it since the beginning --- they were only enabled recently. I'm very much not an Apple fan beyond the Apple II era, but they do client side networking very well.

Google probably can't exert this kind of pressure directly, they don't have the carrier sales volume, IMHO. Maybe Samsung could. Nokia could have before the fall. Google could put it into a PageSpeed type tool though; they've got influence through that kind of tooling. And they control the two ends of lots of traffic, so they could test through changes in ChromeOS and their servers.

Many US laws apply to US companies regardless of where they're operating. A US company can't do something that's illegal in the US like bribery just because the employee doing it is based out of their (whatever country) headquarters.
Pravda has been out of print since 1991. So, while I get your sentiment, it's probably good to acknowledge that propaganda has gotten a bit more... subtle in the meantime?
I think the Trump people were pushing it to “beat China” or something.

In my area, Verizon used some pandemic emergency order to drop mmWave poles all over the place, including in the middle of sidewalks and within a few feet of existing poles. They did it at a frenzy pace, and to date haven’t turned any of them on.
The SBC can make sense depending on energy cost in your country if you just need a little 24/7 DNS or NAS. I have an SBC w/NVME that idles at 1.4W (~$2-3/yr) and an x86 server idling at 11W (~$20/yr). If you're really nickel and diming your power bill, the best choice is making better use of your existing gear followed by an SBC.
At least in the EU, in public universities (most of the top universities are public), publishing papers and getting citations are critical metrics for getting grants and any kind of position.

Post-docs often need to get a grant to fund their position in a group, open positions are rare. Usually, it's not the university paying you, you bring in the money from a public funding application, and the university and your supervisor take a cut. These positions tend to last at most 3 years, then you need to do it all over again to get a new position, often in a totally different country, and repeat that for 10-15 years until you are able to get tenure somewhere, or some other kind of semi-permantent position like assistant professor.

Then once you have tenure, if you want to advance your career and start a research group, you need to keep getting bigger grants for PhD and Post-doc positions within the group.

For all of this getting publication "points" is absolutely critical. The situation in academia right now is horribly competitive and metrics focused, for "fairness". Frankly, society pushed too many people onto studying pure sciences, and we really don't need that many full-time researchers and professors, relatively speaking, with the upmost respect of publicly funded R&D. So it's not hard to (extort) make researchers pay to get their work published, instead of the other way around.

Of course, the reputation of the journal or conference counts, but these paper-mills can reduce the risk of not getting published and give you a chance to at least get some citations.
I feel like if we don't like the government buying this data from a broker, we should make laws that make it so NO one can buy that data from a broker.
I was very enthusiastic about RISC-V once upon a time, but after I encountered a number of its "quirks" (e.g. see https://www.reddit.com/r/RISCV/comments/1frrai9) my enthusiasm has significantly cooled down. And dealing with RISC-V fanboys and lukewarm reaction from ISA maintainers regarding raised issues certainly has not helped. It looks like everyone is fine with the pile of hacks like runtime measurement of misaligned op performance implemented in Linux. Seriously? And I only scratched the surface, who knows what else lurks in the deeper reaches of the ISA spec...

So even after modern CPU features like OoO execution are implemented in hardware, I absolutely will not be surprised that RISC-V hardware will be slow on certain workloads without extensive software tuning. And let's be honest, most software developers will not bother to implement RISC-V-specific paths.

I still wish for RISC-V to be successful and to displace the market dominance of x86 and ARM, but I think in the end it will be Linux of the hardware world. A great advancement, created just in the right time, which eventually becomes a roadblock for further development of alternatives saddled with a lot of tech debt.
3+ papers requirement is the norm in many/most fields in Finland at least. Leads to lots of papers, which is probably not a good thing.

There isn't even a hint of extending "papers and effects" to "digital stuff held by a 3rd party" yet. I wouldn't hold my breath.

But yes, it's a massive oversight and should be closed. But it won't be because the government benefits soooo much from being able to scrutinize any person's past metadata going back god knows how long on a whim.

And speaking of "going back god knows how long". I hope I'm not the only one who noticed that in the whole Fani Lewis Georgia thing they at one point introduced 10yo (!!!) cell location data as evidince in court like it was nothing and normal evidince to have on hand. I forget which side introduced the data or what the "sides" even were in that case but imagine having to defend your cherry picked whereabouts a decade ago from a prosecution team who's already built a narrative about them.
Doesn't "under color of law" mean that it is unlawful, just appears to be lawful?

"“Under color of law” refers to actions taken by government officials (such as police officers or public officials) that are done in their official capacity but violate someone’s rights or are unlawful. These actions appear legal because the person is using their official authority, but in reality, they can be an abuse of power or a violation of laws or civil rights.

In the United States, such actions can lead to legal consequences under federal law, particularly 42 U.S. Code § 1983, which allows people to sue for civil rights violations committed under color of law." - ChatGPT
It never made sense to me why the authors of the IPv6 standard chose to use an entirely different address format, instead of extending address space in a backwards-compatible way. Why not just append/prepend the 12 additional bytes onto existing IPv4 addresses, and write the standard such that all valid IPv4 addresses are also valid IPv6 addresses?

I'm not an RFC author, but something like "All existing IPv4 addresses will be reachable under the 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 prefix in the IPv6 Standard" seems like it would've made migration relatively trivial.

The draft standard is 26 years old. The official standard is 7 years old, and we are still reading articles about how "not all enterprises or applications are ready for IPv6 yet."

This question is coming from a place of genuine confusion and curiosity - I really don't get it. Did the authors of the standard just assume that migration and adoption would be easier than they've turned out to be? Was it a fairness issue where somehow this would have granted dominion over huge swaths of the new address space to existing players?
While I'd agree that $1M is a lot, it's not altogether that crazy. (Full candor: we are ourselves a managed auth company, so I naturally have a vested interest in people wanting to pay for auth)

We could start by drawing an analogy to another vendor: Stripe. Our company pays much more than 1% of gross sales to Stripe for handling our payments. I wince a little every time I see our revenue leaking out to them, but I also don't have a great alternative. It's basically fine, and it's just the cost of doing business.

Relatedly, if you're a $100M business, what alternatives do you have to Clerk (or equivalent vendors)? One option would be to run auth in-house. If you do that, you pretty quickly hit $1M in headcount costs alone by staffing ~3 engineers + ~1 product manager to build and maintain an auth service. (Bear in mind that the fully-loaded cost of a hire vastly exceeds base salary). I don't think many CFOs are going to lose sleep over the cost/benefit here.

And in practice, that's exactly where a lot of companies land. Lots of companies pay Auth0 seven figures annually. It's expensive, but it's still a pretty good deal for some companies.

If this is truly your opinion, I would imagine you would turn your attention to defense spending. I hear this line of thinking often, and almost every time it turns out the person is lying, sometimes even to themselves.

Adding to the list
- Pangea AuthN

I work at Pangea, and while I believe many of the other AuthN options listed are also easy to integrate into your apps, not many provide MFA and passkeys out of the box. Pangea offers MFA + passkeys out of the box and threat intel IP datasets to block bots from signing up / logging in. All of this comes out of the box :)

The column mass (ie, the spatial density multiplied by the length of the observer’s line of sight through the material) is highest at the limbs when looking at a gaseous shell. So shells like this look like rings from all angles. A related effect called limb darkening is the edges of the sun always look less bright, independent of viewing angle
SSOReady only does SAML. The rest of these are full identity solutions with the login box, email lifecycle, sessions, impersonation, users/orgs, RBAC, etc. Essentially "identity as a service" for your app.

It also seems like SSOReady is a yc pivot (single dev) that's just trying to clone WorkOS. Unclear if it's used by anyone in production yet.
This is super cool.
As a question, are the instructions re-generated from the instruction tokens everytime. While maybe costly, this feels like it would be robust to small changes in the app (and component name changes etc.). Does that make sense?
You have sampling bias. I've known a lot of people who never use their trucks for truck things. "But sometimes I put things in the bed!", acting like there's no way to fit a bicycle or a tent in a hatchback. Many office workers live in an apartment and own a truck. Many of them think they'll end up pulling a boat or a camper sometime (they never will), but in the end still just go to the same bars and clubs and other things in the city.

Spend some time in urban Texas and see tons of people who LARP as a cowboy while commuting from their zero-lot line house to their office job. They'll tell you they need a truck, but probably won't be able to point to a single time other than moving a couch that one time a couple years ago where it was actually necessary.

A vehicle is expensive. But tons of people don't pay attention to their costs. They'll drive around town at 13mpg and spend thousands a year more on fuel, tires, maintenance, and more while never really using the capacity of the vehicle they massively overbought because "it's comfortable". What percentage of people would you realistically expect to know how much they spent on fuel and maintenance on their car over the last two years? How many would have any idea how much that could be cut with a smaller car?

I'm not denying people in rural areas probably have a far higher likelihood of actually using trucks as trucks. I'm pointing to all the people in places like Plano who act like a giant truck is an essential thing to own.

And it's hilarious so many construction workers think they personally need a truck for their job. Some of these are those people I personally know who think they need a truck. They're usually not using their personal trucks to actually do any construction work. Most would be able to go to their jobs and back home in a Civic. When they're at the job site they're using the company trucks to actually do the work. A friend of mine "needed" a truck for his home construction business, a business he owns, but in the end never actually uses that truck as a truck. He drives it to the job site, gets out, hops in his International, and uses that to actually haul stuff.

For any of his employees, why would they even want to just donate their personal truck to someone else's company's use? Probably the most expensive thing they own, and they're just going to put the most demanding and high likelihood of damaging activities on it for their employer's benefit. Nope, instead they often show up in beater Camrys and what not.

And like I said earlier, another friend said he needed a truck because he needed a vehicle that could seat 5. That was the reason. Sure, need a truck for that.

I get so many people on places like HN trying to tell me these people just don't exist or are somehow very rare. And yet most people I personally know who drive massive body-on-frame SUVs and pickups are these kinds of people. Few people I know who own trucks actually use their trucks as trucks. Only a few actually do things like haul salvage engine blocks and transmissions (something where you really kind of do want a bed to crane it in and out) or actually routinely tow something.
It's very easy. Fine Amazon 100 billion dollars for fake reviews. Amazon and everyone else gets rid of the review feature the next day. I'm not sure this is a desirable outcome but it's definitely feasible (just like most blogs got rid of comments).
Not true. There’s huge debates among academics. We understand the technology only from a low level of abstraction. At higher levels of abstraction we don’t completely understand what’s going on and there is evidence of higher order intelligent mechanisms at play here.

What I need is something that has first class support for "guest" or "anon" accounts, that can easily be then converted to social login. E.g. a guest user starts using the app without any login wall, after some usage is promoted to login using google/github/etc to continue.

I recently made a hacky solution for that using Next Auth (which is now called Authjs) because the requirements changed up on me and it's literally the ugliest and hackiest piece of code I've written in a long while.

I hate it and I doubt I'm going to ever recommend Authjs to anyone.

Any tips on what I should use instead?

That table doesn't have the Snapdragon 810

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartpho...

I worked on it in 2014. The table does have 808 listed. That may have been a lower end version.

Qualcomm got caught being late. They were continuing development of custom 32-bit cores and Apple came out with a 64-bit ARM core in the iPhone. The Chief Marketing Officer of Qualcomm called it a gimmick but Apple was a huge customer of Qualcomm's modems. Qualcomm shoved him off to the side for a while.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/qualcomm-gambit-apple-64-bi...

Because Q's custom 64-bit CPU was not ready the stop gap plan was to license a 64-bit RTL design from ARM and use that in the 810. It also had overheating problems but that's different issue. There were a lot of internal politics going on at Q over the custom cores and server chips that ended up in layoffs.
Hi, blog post author here. This article is from Feb 2023, so quite dated at the moment.

I'll write an updated article for 2024 but as you've mentioned here, it's almost impossible to follow this landscape. So many solutions appeared during this time.

My recommendation right now would be to either:

- Use a reliable framework with a well-tested built-in solution like Rails/Django

- Choose WorkOS / AuthKit (1)

Some more thoughts:

- Clerk didn't turn out to what I thought when writing this article. Their offering is very much targeting the JS ecosystem, especially Next/Remix, it's not an universal solution.

- It's difficult to recommend hosted solutions when you see how much pricing changes even during 1.5 years. Like you decide on a solution then next year the company raises prices and you are stuck with it forever.

(1) Note for AuthKit: It's an amazing solution but it's a joke that users cannot change their emails. How can it be a production-ready solution, if it doesn't allow any app to offer email change for their users?
Also, those who want to destroy are easier to herd than those who want to create, or even those who just want to maintain the status quo.
The police following one person’s car isn’t unconstitutional, but following everyone’s cars very much is. The IJ press release mentions this: the 4th Circuit (which covers Virginia) ruled several years ago that Baltimore’s near-continuous aerial surveillance was unconstitutional in part because it “ transcends mere augmentation of ordinary police capabilities.” I think there’s an entirely reasonable argument to be made that what the City of Norfolk is doing by contracting Flock to create a database of where every car has been for the past 30 days similarly crosses that line.

So defund a small programs to help reach solvency even though it’s not wasteful and wouldn’t have an effect on solvency? Let corporations destroy the natural world in the name of financial gain? Yep more capitalism-only mindset. Still no reason to do this to the national parks.

It’s funny how funding weapons and things like endless TSA security theater is not ever criticized for their contribution to insolvency. The gain has been negligent. No clearly the problem is the education and parks that actually contribute good and real safety and security to the country.

This is one of the features of early ARM cores that show that the thing is not a classical RISC design, but traditional CISC core with RISC-like ISA and optimized internal buses.
The key point is that the refreshes do not need to happen very often. Something like once per 20 ms for each row was doable even by an explicit loop that the CPU had to periodically execute.

And this task soon moved to memory controllers, or at least got done by CPUs automatically without need for explicit coding.

Compounded drugs have a difficult line to walk. AFAIK, compounded drugs are those which are made custom to the patient due to allergy, or unavailability.
