Whos "We"? I would hazard a guess theres stuff that I don't agree with you on, and we would want certain laws written differently. Its important to remember that we all vote for what we think is right, based on a system evolv

"We" is a massive group of people who all have wildly different ideas. Saying "laws could be what we want them to be" is highly subjective depending on who the "we" is at that current time.

These days I feel like I get much better value paying for cable with hundreds of channels than I do any streaming service.

Say what you want about tupperware, but I just bought a set of ancient tupperware from a thrift store and even the second hand quality of it beats anything I have bought in the last 20 years hands down.

This is how Apple have forced Mac upgrades for the last 20 years, there is no way round it other than to comply and buy yourself a new Mac.

I didnt understand that because the parent comment made no mention of that, only the time the bank took. So I would argue you dont understand, as maybe some banks do charge for the privilege, but that is not the point that was made and I

I still dont get your point, its designed for the security audience and it has a very good reputation there. Its not aimed at normal people, by your own admission they wont even understand what it does and why they would want it. So why ar

Thats their issue that they want to pay several staff half an hours wage for cashing a cheque. I would have been enjoying every second of the farce.

This. Knowing your limitations of building, but being good at designing and watching somebody/something else realise your vision is incredibly satisfying. I see it like 3D printing. Nobody can extrude molten plastic out of their bodies

I have coded big projects manually for a long time. Being able to get ai to do it, then step back and marvel at knowing how much work that would have taken manually is very satisfying.

Thats your life and your opinion which you are fully entitled to, but dont make the mistake of thinking your life and opinion is better than anyone elses. It suits you, thats whats important.

"A bit of prompting" is subjective, and can indeed take a lot of work to craft accurate prompts which produce genuinely useful output.

I hate the fact there is more discussion on things on HN about whether or not its vibe coded than the actual merits of the project itself. I really dont understand peoples attitude of immediately turning off something once they know ai is i

I cant upvote you enough for this very concise explanation of passkeys pain points.

by alt227 8d ago
ok cool so when somebody logs into a site on their phone and sets up a passkey, then goes to their laptop and tried to log into the same account, how do you easily explain how to deal with this situation?

by alt227 8d ago
You obviously dont have to deal with anybody who doesnt know how or want to use computers.

As others have pointed out, this is a terrible oversimplification which misses all the nuances which cause people headaches when using passkeys. To your point, I for example would add point c) - Is linked to the device you are using current
