Possibly, although they don't seem very slowed down at the moment... My feeling is though that digital ID can have benefits which shouldn't be discounted when considering it. Specifically some people have problems with current age

I agree that reliance on non-UK based companies (Apple/Google) is a problem, but to me that's not specific to digital ID. We already have age verification relying on mobile apps, via the online safety act, just not ones implemente

Yep I was disappointed with that, but it does show that both of the main traditional UK parties have the same problems here (haven't looked into the LibDem position on this one)

The conservatives didnt need digital id to make id a requirement for voting, labour didnt need digital id to introduce the online safety act. Im not convinced that lack of digital id will deter authoritarian tendencies in uk govs…

Oh I agree a system, if implemented, should not depend on a tie to Apple or Google, however, I'm not aware that detailed implementation guidance has been produced as yet which would require that tie, although I could have missed that.

The online safety act is a terrible piece of legislation, along with a variety of other ones promoted as being for "child safety" but having serious external consequences. But they implemented that act, without needing a digital I

Can't say as I agree there. I was in the UK at the time (lived here all my life) and I'm fairly familiar with the horrors of the time. My point is we were able to get through something like that, which was very serious, without ne

Yeah i don’t disagree about the UK government tendencies, my point is more that they can be authoritarian without digital id and our current systems are not fit for purpose and a digital ID can help people who have problems fitting in with

TBH the mobile duopoly isn't a problem specific to the UK gov, and plenty of the systems already in use which have a mobile component already have that dependency, so I don't think it really gets any worse if you had a digital ID.

Put it this way, the UK managed to get through the troubles, which had a lot of events far more serious than what Palestine action have done, without needing this level of policing of free speech. The point I was making is that successive U

The legislation which causes anyone expressing support of a proscribed group is the authoritarian thing I'm talking about. The Terrorism Act 2000 as implemented is the problem. Having a law that means merely expressing support of a gro

If you're looking for evidence of the UK gov's authoritarian tendencies, you don't need to go looking at videos on Youtube, just look at the number of arrests of peaceful protestors who were given charges under terrorism legi

The thing is, to me, the powers of the government to require more identification for different things is orthogonal to the idea of digital ID. We already have to identify ourselves in a variety of circumstances (e.g. mortgages, bank account

Slack seem to be doing this to a wide range of groups. The Kubernetes project and CNCF were told by Slack that they would lose access to the paid version with quite short notice. In their case the change was reverted (I think it caught the

Another reason to avoid walls of text on slides, is that attendees will spend the time reading the slide, not listening to the talk. If you want to have something for attendees to refer back to after the talk, a complementary blog/whit

One point that's important on the "entertain" front is that it doesn't need to mean humour/jokes. More likely it's things like well designed slides, interactive elements like demos or anecdotes to break up tech

Good to see they decided to delay a bit and do some brownouts first. I took a quick look at the Docker hub stats ( https://raesene.github.io/blog/2025/08/21/bitnami-deprecatio... ) and it looks like some o

A fun idea might be to combine something like this with Tailscale & their Mullvad add-on, so you get ephemeral browsing environments with VPN connectivity, could make it easy to test from various countries simultaneously on a single hos

I think GP is likely referring to Docker Desktop, which is probably the most common way to use Docker on Windows. Running Linux containers using Docker Desktop has a small Linux VM in which the containers are run and then Docker does some m

Indeed I don't. However it we examine the pace of new features of the last several years (I can't think of a single way this site has changed over that time period), it's reasonable to surmise that there isn't a lot of d

It's interesting you suggest a two week sprint for this. How large do you think HNs development team is, do you know if they even have a single full time developer? I don't but the lack of changes in the basic functionality of the

Indeed a consequence for the individual user could be spammed posts, but for scams, I'd guess that HN would fall back on their standard moderation process. The question was though, what are the consequences for HN, rather than individu

yes it would help against some attack scenarios, no argument there. The question is, do HN regard it as sufficiently important. Changing the codebase to implement MFA would at the least require some development effort/additional code,
