I've experienced this on my phone IIRC...if I register a webauthn key on chrome on iphone, it shows up on safari; but the reverse is not true. Im assuming this is because apple uses a software based TPM that isn't tied to the devi

I'm missing something. Webauthn puts a private key into a firewalled section of hardware onto your device - which is extremely prickly to work with in my experience - for your security. For passkeys to be transferable the private key c

If I'm the CIA and I have exclusive access to the President's food, transportation, calendar, etc...this isn't how I take him out. Plane malfunction, opiate overdose in bathtub, food poisoning. Plenty of other options with wa

/tinhat on Cynical outlook because I guess its where my mind wanders I guess... In the last year Puppeteer became a lot harder to detect, which creates a problem. THIS would provide a solution, no? Probably a coincidence, but a fortuit

So basically it works like this? google watches everything I do because chrome, and has a good idea if I'm a bot or not. through clever cryptography google tells each website I visit its assessment of me? Does it also give them the sam

I'm dense and just saw this. Its awesome fwiw! If you could do something simple in the style of POSTMAN, but with less options - I'd pay fwiw. Not a lot, but if it existed - I'd want it! Send a POST request to ${url} with ${h

Does anyone know of an out-of-the-box solution for measuring regional latency? If not, please somebody make and productize it. I'd love to know how my sites behave in Frankfurt, Mumbai, SF, Sydney, etc.

So I could be totally off, but I think the calories listed on food are derived from the Atwater factors of Carbs:4kc/g, Protein:4kc/g, and Fat:9kc/g.

If I'm reading the article by the WHO correctly; its not saying stop using Artificial Sweeteners because they are poisonous - they're saying that Artificial-Sweeteners aren't part of a long term weight management strategy. If

Agree. The lede "Don't consume artificial sweeteners" reads like "they're poison". They're not. The better title should have been "Artificial Sweetener Use Is Not A Long Term Weight Management Strateg

by jwally 3y ago
So people shouldn't use it not because its poisonous (like lead); but because people think it's part of an effect weight management strategy - which for most people it is not?

It might be possible - but it doesn't seem probable since: 1.) The current framework fits the data so well (muons, gps) 2.) the current framework (Lorentz) makes ftl travel impossible

While the idea of anonymizing product reviews might seem a tad idealistic, it could potentially reduce the prevalence of paid reviews. By concealing the identities of verified purchasers, it becomes more challenging for manufacturers to ver

I just asked it to make an itinerary for a 45 minute long 6 year old boy's soccer practice. It was almost perfect. It needs to be tweaked (3 minutes for cool down?) but it did 95% of the heavy lifting. I also asked it for vacation idea

Kind of agree. The last time I think I was this stoked to play with a mass market tech tool like this was street-view, and before that Google Earth.

Dumb question as a non expert, but if I'm trying to prevent bad thing from happening on my employees phones, why am I blacklisting "bad" apps instead of whitelisting "good" apps?

Maybe a dumb question: Is it more probable that the UAP are extraterrestrials OR is it more probable they are an ancient civilization with advanced technology like Atlantis or Wakanda. The latter doesn't have to find earth or violate t

The point I was trying to make is that conflating POSSIBLE with PROBABLE to me smacks of click bait; my opinion. It doesn't really tell you anything meaningful but sounds extremely scary. Weasel words. A more useful quip from the gener

Possible? Sure. An asteroid ending all life on earth is possible in the next two years. Better question is how PROBABLE is war with China?

Thats a really good point. I'm working through this space right now so I'm kind of myopic to stuff like this. I use a self hosted VPN (digiOcean); but under duress, I'd be a jerk to me. tbh; most sites are, lol. I've giv
