As others have noted, this feels like an issue in the relying parties not relying on the `sub` field to validate the user. It feels the exact same as this issue here: https://bhavukjain.com/blog/2020/05/30/zeroday-signin-with-a....

In both, the details around the `sub` field, the field that should actually be used to identify the user, is poorly described. I would say that both of these feel a bit sensationalist, but then again, if relying parties are NOT using the sub field to validate users, they should be called out.

It seems to be that a good way to make some money is find every such situation where RPs are not using sub, and submit vuln bugs.
yes, this is exactly what I do. My email should be practically empty unless something is on fire.

Is that what you call success?
Bluntly? “Vibes”

I’m skeptical given how common of a sentiment it is that Facebook and Instagram are dead.

Over the last few years they’ve been adding more and more “suggested” content in the feeds and then there’s talk of adding AI-generated content.

Why would a site flush with activity need to generate it’s own content?

I’d expect AI-generated content from a site getting off the ground to try attracting users, I wouldn’t expect it as a potential mainstay for a site that’s confident of their relevancy.

That said, Meta deserves credit for an impressive launch of Threads and may very well be able to pull it off with another type of social networking site (YouTube competitor anyone?), but the Meta brand is feeling dated.

Additionally, more states are looking into clamping down privacy laws and social media use by <18yr olds.
Doesn’t matter ultimately. If you’re at the point of requiring loyalty oaths to get hired, you’ve already lost the plot. Way past counterproductive.

There’s a great sttng episode, the drumhead, which explores witchhunts.
Yeah, this is the part I'm struggling with. This is absolutely not unique to google oauth, it genuinely seems like a misunderstanding of how the web manages trust.

If you own the domain, you own all the property associated with the domain, including all the old email addresses. Magic links and password resets are all going to give the new owner access.

Your best bet as a solution is to be using strict 2fa (ex - a yubikey might help here) but even that is likely just "a conversation with support" away from being circumvented.

This is why winding down a company is supposed to have specific stages and policies associated with the dissolution. You don't just abandon the offices and leave all the filing cabinets behind either, for similar reasons...
There's no jurisdictions where the minimum is higher than the speed limit though.
Indeed this is what I was aiming at, however the concern for (a semblance of) truth seems rooted in a view that locates meaning in what signs refer to. This view feels incomplete when faced with a dyadic model where the relationship between signifier and signified takes precedence over reference. The notion of simulacrum only emerges in a technical culture that has elevated 'reality' to a special status. After all, what is 'reality' in technical systems if not itself a simulacrum? Hilbert's program, symbolic AI, rule systems, ontologies, the semantic web - they all struggled to capture reality as a whole precisely because they tried to grasp it through formal objects claiming universal scope via the machinery of said formalisms.
No, I will not. I was in desperate situations as well, managed to crawl out without robbing anyone.

Again, believe what makes you feel good. I am looking out for myself because I was only backstabbed all my life and I am not far from a desperate situation again... in my 40s and with a supposedly prestigious profession (programmer) but almost nobody is hiring.

My empathy only resulted in my money and literal health going toward people who don't appreciate it. Nobody ever worked for my cause. Ever. Not once.

You are a classic victim of a filter bubble. "Worked out for me, must work out for everyone". No, in fact it does not work for most.
I don't think it occurs to the average person that when you buy a vehicle, some parts of it might still be "someone else's".
> The article states “… and I captured two drivers ripping through red lights in that short span.” I suppose “ripping through” can be left up to interpretation.

There really isn't enough information given to make a determination.

It looks like two of the vehicles traveling on Lemon "jump" due to a ridge in the middle of the intersection but that itself isn't an indication of speeding.

The headline could also apply to the 1990s.

I was an employment counselor for a non-profit for a few years. I collected employment listings from multiple sources (Bureau of Labor was a big one) and printed+sorted them to help job seekers.

I found a high percentage of distinct jobs that were endlessly listed. If I sent qualified applicants after them, they invariably never got a response. That was just the ghost listings. Another large chunk were problematic for reasons that had nothing to do with applicant qualifications.

Maybe 2 listings in 5 were reasonable and competent efforts to find workers.
So in the first two weeks of the year Zuck has announced:

- Replacing their global policy chief with the company's highest ranking Republican.

- Appointing Dana White to the company's board.

- Changing content policies to be aligned with the incoming administration.

- Elimination of DEI programs in hiring.

- Removing tampons from men's restrooms.

- Defending all this in a 3 hour Joe Rogan interview. Ranting about the lack of "masculine energy" at the company.

- 5% layoff of low performers. Company needs to get "intense".

Is this history's most bizarre midlife crisis? What is going on with this man?
I have used facebook probably daily since 2007 - until a few weeks ago a recent phone update moved some icons around and offloaded the facebook app. Where facebook used to be on my home screen was replaced by LI for some reason, and I found that I was for a few days reflexively clicking "linkedin" notifications when I clearly was absent mindedly trying to reach facebook. When I realized what had happened, I decided not to re-install facebook to see if I actually missed it or if it was just a dumb, idle compulsion. Haven't missed it at all! I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't accidentally gone through this. It had somehow wormed itself into my habits in a really compulsive way that was also not even providing me value, clearly, because now that I think about it more and more, I cannot think of a single reason why I would log into facebook. Even when I occasionally use messenger app, that's entirely separate from the facebook app now and has been for a while, plus whatsapp/telegram/discord is better anyway, so what is my incentive as a user to even log in to facebook? Who is that site even for anymore?

I used to get value out of some private groups, support groups - but those have slowly become infested by bots/trolls in a weird way that I can't really prove but the experience for me at least has been increasingly poor over the last few years.

All this is to say it does not surprise me that facebook aggressively protects its moat - someone over there realizes the power of habit/compulsion, it's clearly baked into their app and UI and everything about that ecosystem. Long gone are the before-times where app growth was focused on making a compelling user experience, we're in pure extraction mode now that pretty much anyone that will ever make a facebook account already has made one.
It's ridiculous that we landed people on the moon in 1969 and we still haven't even got a plan for bringing a rock back from Mars.

That's not how insurance works.

You buy insurance if there is an uncertain outcome, e.g. a 1% probability of having a $100k claim. In which case you can expect to be charged around 1% of $100k (plus admin costs and whatnot).

Perfect information means you know the exact probability of the event happening. It doesn't mean that you know with certainty whether an event will happen or not. That would require a crystal ball or a time machine.

What prevents one company from defecting and taking all the market share?
SSO should stop working when the IdP org is disabled/deleted. IdPs should not allow the org to be resurrected based solely on domain ownership alone. And if a new org is created with the same domain, the SP will need to be reconfigured with new OAuth client creds, and should be relying only on the `sub` claim anyway.

Any accounts you need after leaving a company should be tied to your personal email.
Isn't this the Japanese approach to homes? They are basically disposable after X years and part of that is related to natural disasters somehow?
>In the case of wokeness, what's being challenged is the centre's (neoliberal or neocon) belief in its rationality, meritocracy, and objectivity.

The ideals of the Enlightment, the epistemological foundations of rationality and objectivity are not perfect, and liberals don't claim it to be such, but it exists because after Fascism & Communism, there wasn't better alternatives.

Regardless, we've had 10 years of trying such post-Enlightment policies, and predictably it's just resulted in just a flood of populism, crime and tribalism. I guess we'll have to go through a crash course again in understanding the reason why hierarchical thinking emerges in the first place, just like in Old Antiquity 2000 years ago. You never really had a solution to the Paradox of Tolerance, or the Friend-Enemy distinction...

But look around you, the rest of the world is moving past you. Even if you succeed in the West, China, India, Southeast Asia, the developing world have all picked up the spirit of modernity anyways. Theirs is a homogenized vision of "soulless" luxury malls, modern skyscrapers and totalizing impression of capitalism, meritocracty, rationality and objectivity that you oppose so much. But they are rising, and I daresay their living standards already exceeeds yours in many areas. In the future, if they seek to impose their domains to your borders, do you think you can seriously think your "woke" frameworks can compete?
How is it not a dock? Yeah, you need to access it through the overview, but it still behaves like a dock.
> I also took a big step back from various forms of ambition, in favor of building a solid, enjoyable life.

I think you are onto something here, but there's no way to keep my current situation sustainable let alone live on less. The financial thing I can't do much about but the psychological maybe. It's hard when I feel like there is nobody to help me and I have to do everything alone.
This sounds like a complex procedure. Are there currently alternative packaging facilities that could do this work, if Taiwan were locked into kinetic war?
There should be some service for permanently destroying a domain with a single prepaid cost. Somehow preventing bankruptcy laws from getting the domain.

Pay X$ up front, then Y$ per month to keep active. Once you cannot pay, it gets blocked forever (paid for by the up front cost). Owned by your service provider so not part of your firesale

The problem with that position is that plenty of people who also had money tried to just pay smart people, and most weren't nearly as successful.

The absolute shitton of failed car and rocket companies, including by people better financed then Musk, indicates this.

I guess you can say 'its just luck', but given that we are talking about two capital intensive industries that were widely considered almost impossible to break into, you would have to argue that he was lucky twice. I guess one can have that position, but I don't really think that's credible.

I guess one can say he isn't a great engineer but good CEO? Because he is the longest running CEO of the space and the car industry, and both companies over the last 20 years have been pretty successful.

Taking Bezos as a comparison, Bezos has been dropping like 1-2 billion per year into Blue Origin for almost 10 years and had a workforce comparable to SpaceX, who were the leader in rockets, sats and space transport of cargo and humans. SpaceX was started with less then 100 million $.

As some point just saying 'he had resources' just doesn't work. At some point you have to evolve your explication.
I think the Nextcloud offering is called "Nextcloud Talk", for anyone wanting to check that out.

Thanks. I wish would-be parents had psychological evaluation at least. My mother and father were 95% inept to be parents. They did the very bare minimum and then one of them died and the other was, shall we put it softly, just a drag for 22 years until she died less than two months ago as well.

Pain inside does make one do stupid crap. Definitely applies to me. Now I am trying to heal and be more rational with money at least. The rest will follow more or less automatically; removing stress is itself healing.

> An LLM DM is exactly what could add that story, make overcoming challenges feel meaningful and allow for player decisions to actually impact the world deeply.

No it's not. I don't think you're going to find an LLM with a large enough context window to have a meaningfully involving story spanning multiple sessions.

An LLM isn't going to craft a story element tailored to a character, or more importantly, an individual player. It's not going to understand Sam couldn't make last week's session. An LLM also doesn't really understand the game rules and isn't going to be able to adjudicate house rules based on fun factor.

LLMs can be great tools for gaming but I think their value as a game master is limited. They'll be no better a game master than a MadLibs book.
By that logic should we stop having red light and speed cameras? After all, it's not hard to come up with plausible sounding reasons why you might be forced to speed or run a red light.
Yep, my experience using ChatGPT as a helper is very good. It can very quickly cook up a custom monster, give it relevant stats, and create some flavourful actions and attacks to make it unique. Lately I've been trying to hook this up to D&D Beyond, as it's just some fairly simple POST payloads. If I can get to the point where I can describe a vague encounter, and run it in the Beyond encounter tracker with zero effort, that would be amazing, and a lifesaver when the party goes off and does nutty stuff. Beyond that, its story ideas are fairly generic but fine if you really have no time, and it can do a decent job of the occasional flowery monologue if you need it.
This is why I haven't switched my NixOS to flakes yet. The community discussions always act as though flakes should be the default that everyone should use now, but I figure that the developers know what they're doing and haven't made them the blessed path yet for a reason. So far so good—my system is far more stable than it was under Debian and I've yet to run into anything that didn't have an easy answer.

I have a suspicion that because the Nix community is disproportionately likely to contain early adopters, the general mood in the forums is less risk-averse than I am with my primary stacks.
Works for me on FF.

As a EU citizen who no longer lives there, in part because of the poor salaries, I can't say I'm surprised by the EU 'brain drain'. The EU published a paper on this in 2024, about how they are leaking talent because the high-talented individuals by and large don't stick around.

Not just salaries, the other issue is regulation and moving slowly.

EDIT, the doc I referred to: https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/97e481fd-2dc3...
The firing is not motivated by the ratio. It's not a handcuff saying you must find x% of the workforce to fire.

It's setting a bar that when evaluated on a curve a certain percentage of your employees wind up being below that bar. You derive the ratio from how aggressive you expect your bar to be.

But no one is saying you need to fire people. They're saying they expect a certain amount of lower performers and if they don't see it, they want to know reason. But it also only manifests at much higher populations than an individual team. Totally possible a small enough team has everyone >= meeting expectations.
> focus on fewer goals at a time

Beyond this very specific thing, I think its also a struggle with trusting myself. I don't trust myself to finish anything. I can try as hard as I want but my locus of control is completely external. I am tired of being lied to about agency and ability. If it was easy as putting effort in I'd be there already.

So I work harder and harder in an effort to MAYBE be enough for society / work etc and I am STILL not enough. How can you believe in yourself when you are the source of all failure, lack of consistency, inability to change or adapt. It's me. I'm the problem. I try to be better but at some point I am just masking who I am, which is a WHOLE other problem that is not mutually exclusive. It's another one of those "can't follow the issue because it's too complicated" problems that's destroying my life. Nobody undertands, everyone tells me I'm not alone (they are wrong) and nobdody has any reasonable or actionable suggestions because nobody I have talked to yet even remotely grasps what I am going through. My therapist is really the only person who gets it.

So many times I have tried to do the "right" thing only for it to backfire and make everything worse. It's textbook learned helplessness, but I also have a proverbial textbook of evidence to support my reasons why things won't work. Nobody will listen to me, and then when the thing I tell them won't work FAILS it's my fault for pointing out the laws of physics or nature. I am tired of being the scapegoat for sociopaths and Machiavellian cancer.

I accept that I need to accept failure. I am trying, but it's demoralizing and only seems to cause pain not growth. I can usually maintain optimism for a week or more but inevitably the reality of life creeps back in and I can't lie to myself any longer.

Tell HN: A word of advice for new developers
After browsing this forum for a few years, and over a decade in the industry watching young people chase money, I want to throw this out there for devs who are new to the industry:

There is more to life than money, like a lot more. Don't spend your entire life chasing more money. Read books in a wide variety of subjects. Pursue art. Travel. Help people. Take your focus off of money and point it toward the wider world and the people in it, you'll live a much more satisfying life.

That is all.
Interesting. Is this still up-to-date? The link you posted is 15 years old
Edge (Spartan or Legacy) had a big fight with YouTube that YouTube was doing a hidden (not visible to users) DOM animation underneath the video player in a way that Chrome ignored but tanked Edge performance. There were several release cycles where Edge would specifically target that hidden animation performance, only for YouTube to make the animation worse and ratchet it back.

I lived through that as a user. (I was one of the like 5 Edge Spartan users, I know, lol.) I could see the dumb animation in dev tools and manually delete it for better performance. It was a nice thing I had some technical skills. I know for mainstream users the solution was "watch YouTube in Chrome".

It's hard to find to other sources because Microsoft intentionally broke the SEO on the Edge brand and you know Google is the only other major search engine. Not that they'd intentionally down-pagerank bad news about a Google property, I'm sure.
Ok now that I’ve actually looked at the package.json, it seems like this must be a joke or something. It’s got packages for CLI arg parsing, math expression evaluation, hashing, etc.

When I’m back on my computer I may look at the source and confirm my suspicion that none of those are required for the carousel functionality lol
People want stonks to go up up up. Company settled lawsuit, which means it probably won't go down down down meaning its stocks went up up up.

Stonks are about how people feel.

The only question is whether "people" mean individual investors or fund investors.
Oh yeah, you are right... my bad :)
Yes I had to do that, which is my entire point - everything worked, and they made it worse.

You definitely can.

I always built my network mostly at local meetups and online communities.

It helps if, like in my case, are into functional programming, as people into that niche prefer working with other functional programmers.
It worked for me (Brave). Shows Switzerland as the highest paying (if I had to guess it's due to the financial sector there) with the UK following close behind.

Was happy to see Iceland relatively up there, I've heard there's a strong tech sector in Reykjavik and my wife and I are in love with the country and have entertained hypothetical discussions about relocating there (from Canada), even if temporary.
And the population in 1900 is ~6x that of the population in 1400. I'm not sure what you are getting at with such a comparison. It sounds totally meaningless to me.
