Only a few people stop using those websites, because most people will use the Apple or Google authenticators and be done with it. And if those websites are essential services, those few people who don't conform will be left out in significant ways.
Are you sure iOS doesn't do attestation? Google recently turned on requiring an iOS or Google-attested Android device with a camera for some reCAPTCHA challenges(i.e. take a photo of this QR code). They waited for Apple to support it before doing so.
I don't find this post convincing.
> If a consumer website decided tomorrow that it would only accept attested passkeys, it would lock out almost all of its own users, instantly. What website is going to do that? Besides, the guidance for consumer sites has been to not even request attestation for years now.
This isn't a rebuttal to the claim that they're a hidden dial. It's just saying that it's too early to crank the dial.
>Attestation Isn't What You Think It Is
>The post describes attestation as proving "that an approved passkey manager, operating system, and firmware are in use" which is simply not true.
>When it is present, WebAuthn attestation tells the site the make and model of the authenticator, identified by its AAGUID, with a certificate chain from the vendor to back it up. It says nothing about your OS, your browser, your extensions, whether your phone is rooted or jailbroken, your firmware version, or even what colour it is.
This point is bypassed by websites only supporting specific authenticators and then those specific authenticators only supporting specific devices/OSs/browsers/etc via other attestation frameworks.
You'll talk more when it's necessary to skip ads.
Just because a task is done with human hands, doesn't mean it has to be done with a robotic one. Our robot vacuum cleaners aren't Rosie pushing a standing vacuum.
>My challenge ahead is to move from making a living by thinking, to making thinking part of a life worth living.
Our challenge ahead is making a living at all. Who is going to be having hobbies if the economy is 100% automated? We're not going to sleepwalk our way into a post-scarcity automated economy where everyone's needs are provided for and they can just spend all their time on hobbies. If we believe AI can replace all cognitive labor, then it follows that it'll be able to replace all physical labor with robotics fairly quickly, and we're left with no labor left for humans. We need to plan for that future or else billions will suffer from the results.
This is an illogical comment. If you value nothing then you have nothing to gain by logic anyway. What's the logic in eating if you don't value your life?
Are there good guides for getting started with adding support for a device? I doubt I have time but making ROMs and figuring out bootloader unlocks are things I've always been intrigued by but have always seemed like black magic to me.
If it's consistently off, I wonder if there's a way to calibrate it.
There's plenty of logic to it, but it depends on your values. What do you value? If you care about your descendants or humanity in general, then undoing some of our destruction of habitats and the outsized impact of our predation/invasive species introduction is a benefit.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't make every effort to re-wild places. It'll slow or even prevent the loss of at-risk species and introduce resilience to ecosystems against the onslaught of climate change.
Or they move around to someplace they get less pushback.
What misinformation?
Castor beans also contain high levels of the toxin ricin. As few as 5 castor beans, if chewed or mashed, can be dangerous for a human. The oil contains relatively little since it's a water-soluable toxin, but the leftover "oil cake" from manufacturing is pretty toxic and when used as fertilizer it's been accidentally eaten by animals.
Do they? That's been a sticking point for many regarding this big push to build more. Evaporative is cheaper and these companies aren't going to spend more if they don't have to.
It should be noted that evaporated water usually doesn't rain back down in the same place it evaporated from, so increasing the evaporation in one area does not guarantee a matching increase of rainfall there.
The greenest solution is to not consume something at all. Growth can't last forever on this planet. Do we want to spend our limited resources like this?
The freshwater source might be an aquifer so staying in the ground isn't a loss to the local water supply, though it may be a loss in regards to effort to move and treat it.
Calling people's concerns a moral panic is a personal attack too.
The most fair comparison of water use would include evaporated vs soaked into the ground vs run off into rivers vs contained in the final product. As far as I'm aware, data centers are 100% evaporated while farms are going to be some percentage lower than that(though still high). Evaporating extra water can be detrimental to an area if the rainfall isn't high enough, while soaking into the ground is fairly good.
Are they actually checking for said signs? In the US, freeways have explicit no-pedestrian signs at on-ramps from other roads and streets. But those can be miles apart while potential places for a pedestrian to approach the freeway might be more frequent.
They say their vehicles have no modem by default, only leaving it as an option for fleet users. They also have no infotainment system to contain any sort of camera or microphone.
Narcissism and psychopathy are why. The richest people stopped needing to care about money to fill their lives with endless luxuries billions of dollars ago. They enjoy being richer and more powerful than others.
"It's now illegal to track government vehicles"
Until the ones at the top own a fully automated supply chain for their every need and luxury and all they need from everyone else is the ability to feel superior.
It is doing those things too, but first and foremost on most people's minds is the issue of power bills, water availability and cleanliness, other local pollution of varying kinds, local taxes, and eminent domain for private profit.
Why is the crowd emotionally triggered? I posit it's because of all the secrecy and bad faith. Data center builders and their supporters in government brought this opposition on themselves.
If they are taking reasonable steps to mitigate consumption and pollution then they should be able to clearly explain that to the public. The fact they won't suggests they aren't.
Just because people haven't cared about the environment before doesn't mean they shouldn't start now. And just because there are worse existing polluters doesn't mean we shouldn't resist new ones.
A new golf course used to be seen as a great thing to have in your back yard and now we know their pesticide use increases the risk of Parkinson's. People are waking up and caring more. We need to have a sustainable society, not a profit obsessed one.
I imagine the reasoning was to be "quirky" but the video being set in intentionally fake looking sets in a TV studio-type space gave off the vibes that this isn't a serious product for doing real things.
While it's fair to want more context, the person I was replying to clearly did not watch the video at all, which was what I was addressing. In their first comment they didn't understand that a direct quote was involved. In their second comment they asked where in a 27-second video the quote is.
