As the vendor you can sell it with the promise that awesomeness is coming "just around the corner" with the next software update. You can also seek investment without committing to an actual concrete business model.

What I have noticed in Australia is that this kind of enforcement seems to happen in 2 situations: A) A foreign company is not doing something the government wants. This might be taking down certain information from the Internet (facebook,

I'm not sure how you maintain hidden ground stations while providing a commercial service that justifies many $MM in capital and requires state support to get launch permission.

by xyzzy123 1y ago
They don't need to do that if they go after your ground station operators. To escape the law you need to hide or protect something on earth (your ground station(s), downlinks). If you can hide or protect that infrastructure on earth, w

I don't think "maybe it's benign" is where anti doomers are coming from, more like, "there are also costs to not doing things". The doomer utilitarian arguments often seem to involve some sort of infinity or re

Now we write graphql adapters over dozens of microservices to get back the capability to express queries and lessen the burden of hardcoding every possible query for frontend. N+1 is just more fun at the party and with a bit of effort you c

This is not quite true, what you are describing is "dumb" fuzzing. Modern fuzzers are coverage guided and will search for and devote more effort to inputs which trigger new branches / paths. https://afl-1.readthed

The bic clic (not cristal) is the iconic pen of my childhood. It's hard to explain how popular they were in NZ, if you asked kids to draw a pen that's what they'd draw.

I might agree with the author's thesis that tax code changes are the cause of the "tech job meltdown" BUT they don't provide any evidence for their claims in the article :/ This makes it punditry, not a serious eco

This depends on your "world model", that is, what situations do you anticipate the people using your web site / application are in? The assumption that basically, device = same person (browser session really) over a long peri

You make a good point, but there's a lot of money in sequels and IP.

A weird thing I've noticed that I've never seen discussed anywhere is that when kids are concentrating / thinking hard, they start breathing heavily. I wonder what is going on with this.

The main benefit IMHO is deprovisioning. With straight up fed you can autocreate users etc but as the relying party you don't know when their access has been revoked. Sometimes this doesn't matter, but... often it does. People co

by xyzzy123 1y ago
Metal engraving fairly accessible these days. Fiber laser in 100W range would do it, maybe $10k? You could do photochemical etching but would be more fuss and wouldn't last as long as a laser engraving. Probably looking at order of 1gi

This makes me wonder if there's a class of software that doesn't exist yet. Like, a structured reasoning assistant? We have all these assistants for grammar and spelling but nothing for the actual thinking bit. We could go a lot f

It often is, but the schema might be written against a language-specific ORM. That code might in turn have plugins or feature flags that mean you don't know the concrete sql schema until runtime. Same for seed data and migrations. So i

One way (not the only way and I get this won't work well for people with medical needs or kids) to handle this is stock up on rice, beans, nonperishables and have a good first aid kit. You go out to get your "freshies" but it

I feel like the religious explanation is a copout (the rest of the details are in the spiritual realm lol) and maybe there are practical ones. Like maybe coins are rare enough that they're not completely fungible, there is a slight pre

What if you could have 2x or Nx the services for the same public expenditure if you didn't have to pay drivers? How important is PT really? Should we cut pensions or cancer care to enable more PT? How hard-core are you about this? Wha

by xyzzy123 1y ago
Fair. Pay attention though to the safety systems in place and the cost of those versus drivers. I suppose in the end these are hypotheses about human behaviour in specific situations and we will find out who is right in due course. People a

Yes. The difficult problem is "antisocial behaviour". Also, to be fair, we might call them people who happen to be experiencing mental health incidents. What are you going to rob? There's no money. Most PT systems recover ha

Yep, I agree good outcomes are possible and an e2e sync'd passkey should have better privacy properties than a federated login. It's a nuanced discussion because in practice today, email provider is regarded as ultimate source of

It seems like the obvious endgame is most people will use very strong auth between their devices and Google / Microsoft / Apple and then federate to everything else. All other workflows will become niche because it's not in m

My issue with this is the NxM problem, if you want to do this on 10 websites with 5 devices you need to maintain 50 passkeys.

It doesn't seem like stealing to me? Highly optimised software generally takes more effort to create and maintain. The tradeoff is that we get more software in general, and more features in that software, i.e. software developers are m
