I think all they need to do is remove attestation from the spec, or at least put very strong language around it that it should only be used for extremely secure environments where the data is not considered to be owned by the user , for ex

I wrote about this here[1] but it seems like Passkeys are fundamentally incompatible with open source software. I tried them out, and was initially quite excited for them. But it turns out the spec has first-class support for banning passke

I feel the Ars Technica front page in List View (you have to pick List View at the top!!) is quite nicely dense. Just a straightforward headline, blurb, and image list. https://arstechnica.com/

Yeah, totally. If they have a stronger stomach for gambling than I do, they'll (probably...) reap the rewards, and good for them! But it's not for me.

I already have more money than I know what to do with. I'd rather spend my time on things I enjoy (arguing on HN) than things I hate (understanding or caring about the stock market).

Like I said, I already have a retirement account that is doing this. I just keep the rest in high interest savings and CDs or whatever and not care about this stock market junk at all.

Like I said in my first comment, this is what I'm doing with my retirement account. I'd prefer not to, but everyone says it's the thing to do, so OK. Still feels like gambling, though: https://www.cnbc.com/201

You're right, looks like it's 4.25% at the moment. It's not something I check on much.

You are being distracted by the culture war sideshow. No war but the class war, and Apple's execs are definitely powerful enough players in that war to protect themselves from consequences.

Wealth tax. Progressive wealth tax that caps at a 100% tax on wealth over $10M. Exact number negotiable, but that's where I'm starting the bidding. No individual has a legitimate use for more than $10M in assets.

It's the first result on Google for me, too. Edit: Oh, I see in the linked article that the author does not have an ad blocker installed. That's user error.

Could either of you provide some specific search terms (like, tell me exactly what to type into the search box) that provides better results on Kagi than on Google?

This has also been my experience. The search quality is no better. When I ask people directly what they like about Kagi, it's all about the customization stuff (custom search operators; denylisting domains; etc). I do see the appeal of

Yeah but the question is how you, as a user, should best protect yourself. I'm saying clicking the "No" provides no advantage over using a browser that just protects you from tracking by default. Then it doesn't matter
