Yeah I really wish we would just stop changing all this crap in the first place and revert to permanent standard time.

To my knowledge there haven’t been any recent leaps and bounds advances in electrical socket technology where a bunch of 200 year old houses are the only thing holding us back. Early on maybe 8 or nine years ago I would have made a similar

The type C port is superior to and entirely backwards compatible with, the type A port. For your 10s of devices with type A, just get one of these: 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 19.7 Inch Cable, ORICO Ultra-Slim Data USB Splitter https:/&#x

No. If we designed everything around its “bodge together in a pinch factor” we wouldn’t have technology let alone industry. It’s just not realistic or practical to live in the past and I do not believe it would be oppressive to ask people w

But it’s not supposed to ship totally “correct” answers. It is supposed to predict which text is most likely to follow the prompt. It does that correctly, whether the answer is factually correct or not.

So let’s get rid of apps and the play store! … … … Unless we intend to regress to the mean, people must be educated on how to use powerful tools responsibly, and we must build powerful tools with effective safeguards.

> We should not sacrifice the many (and encourage the bad actors) to ensure that the few have the access they want. It's a false dichotomy. We don't need to sacrifice anybody. Require more consent or an advanced toggle to turn

While we avoid low quality re-print/syndication, it is normal to submit and discuss secondary commentary on HN. Think of all the “X did Y, here is why it matters” style blog posts.

Yes, but the title of the Reddit thread is the title used here, so that complicates the situation. The title is accurate and not editorialized in that context. People are talking about it because of the effects on uBlock origin. Nobody at

IF we need to regulate companies then it should be the bare minimum needed to limit the actual problem, which is: allowing a 3rd party cross-site aggregator to follow users from site to site, and sale of data without consent to 3rd party

Yeah this is the issue with the approach of trying to control what companies can and can’t do with the inferences they make from essentially public data they collect about you. Recent privacy policy is like going to an entity and saying “yo

Assuming Rivian does know embedded 101, my guess is that the infotainment system is running Android and the watchdog reported all green once the system services all came online and that it doesn't actually check whether the application

Did it annoy anybody else that during the whole event they compared M3 to M1 as if M2 didn't exist? Guess they didn't think 5-10% improvement would market well? But does anybody in their target audience even care or do they just b

The point is not that more options is bad, it’s that Apple is marking ram up more than what the author considers a reasonable amount. In the past you could buy a 3rd party sodimm module and pop it in for much cheaper but now you can’t since

Is there a specific political action group or organization behind the pressure Omegle received that isn’t being called out? Or is it just that the general social context has enabled people across the board to attack more freedoms more succe

Healthy and vibrant competitive scenes evolve with the franchise. For super smash it’s like the opposite of that.

So, I think there’s a massive difference between ads in de-facto public spaces where consent is impossible, and ads in an environment where there’s full affirmative consent. Billboards on a highway: mind rape.

You could start by comparing highway driving, where I think Tesla actually is quite good.

Yes, but this presumably still runs on top of DNS and SSL and an attacker can exfiltrate a bearer token all the same if they pwn your machine. What this does is make the only viable attack vector the one where they're on your machine o

Have you tried phind.com? It even cites its sources.

Yeah clocks might be a necessary evil that makes storage-free nonces a reality. Feels like a plausible compromise.

I found Big Cookie. I mean seriously sitting in-front of you is a proposal that’s objectively better than session tokens in a cookie jar, where the nonce portion could be entirely optional at the expense of allowing replay attacks, and you

by dcow 3y ago
Few things commenters are missing: 1. If you want the protocol to be “stateless” (once the session is established, that is), use a fixed, or allow any, nonce. 1.5: The proposed nonce tracking scheme is naïve but it’s pretty easy to devise

You can steal a bearer token just by observing the request. You can’t steal a private key by observing a signed request. With a WebSession the attacker has to pwn your machine instead of your DNS.
836.
by dcow 3y ago
Yeah I think the proposal should add some optional binding of the web session to http resource semantics. Also re nonces if you only keep track of active nonces and have the server return a next-nonce, or use a counter like TLS, then you av

I imagine this technology would be deployed to prevent kids from visiting porn, drugs & alcohol, etc. sites. Which TBH seems fine, we already ID people at bars and adult shops.

Say a site uses WEI to block Google’s crawlers. If Google actually respected that then maybe it’s a fair playing field. But knowing Google they’ll issue their crawlers valid certs and create a huge dystopian nightmare.
