Passkeys also solve this even if they’re not hardware backed. He was able to give them a code but wouldn’t have been able to do a passkey handshake for a domain which isn’t Google.com. Plus they’re easier to use and faster.

This is like saying it’s not Ford’s fault that they didn’t put in seatbelts and safety glass because people knew driving was unsafe. When bad outcomes happen at scale, you need a system-level fix. EDIT: to be clear, the fix has arrived: had

I think the key aspect here is scale: if the person making the decision knows the people affected, you usually see a pattern of different results than without that human connection. Large companies tend to be bad both from isolation and bec

Yes. There’s also something about the sheer volume of recorded media & ease of distribution which feels like we crossed a qualitatively different threshold. The laws around photography were set in an era when it cost money to take a pho

Sorry, yes, I did mean to write sapient. I'm not sure that's a conflict, however, as much as further along a spectrum. Whether or not eating cows is ethical is possible to debate because there is valid question about how much of a

I ran into a similar bug in Git Lab where the v18 upgrade didn’t replace now-unsupported time zones so things like scheduled pipelines simply stopped running and were labeled inactive in the UI without explanation. https://gitlab

There’s definitely inertia but I think it’s also that the US/ names match official usage: nobody, not even residents, says the time zone is New York because the official name is Eastern time.

It’s a point on the same path: if enough people start “joking” about political violence, more people are going to try it. I didn’t want to live in a world where that’s normalized.
