When product websites are more focused on getting investors than customers the whole system breaks down

The passphrase to my bitwarden database is in my will. And a bitlocker decryption key is right beside it.

This is not much simpler than they think it is.

But you're not going to lose it, because you use a password manager, and the passkey will be stored there and synchronized to all of your other devices

That's just wrong. I use android, my partner uses ios. If he creates the passkey in safari, it's not going to get synced over to my phone. And that's just the first of the family sharing passwords issues. Same person issue is also present if somebody uses an iphone and a windows laptop, or chromebook.

It doesn't help that all modern browsers eagerly try to step in and offer their implementation of passkeys for logins, and they're not featured enough to support the type of shared access or synced access many people would expect from a password manager. How useful is your firefox passwords on an iphone? Or Mac OS's keychain I use as a daily driver on my windows gaming desktop?

Major password managers don’t even allow you to export your passkeys to a file that you can read/backup yourself

This is wrong. Every single major password manager supports export. Lastpass, 1password and bitwarden all do that.

It's past time to move off of LastPass. LastPass lost all of your passwords again last month

That just isn't true. Last month, their third party customer support portal was breached. That did not involve passwords.

I think you're crazy. It's not just bots in chat rooms, it's bots in chat room with an AI Investor Hype Money™

I read and read and read and he never got to a point other than some nebulous "this is wrong and we can change it" without specifics. DNF

what it actually means is that we don't know enough to say one way or the other.

To take another illustration: nobody can prove that there is not between the Earth and Mars a china teapot revolving in an elliptical orbit, but nobody thinks this sufficiently likely to be taken into account in practice. I think the leukemia claim just as likely.

Why DC lines? AC is by far the better technology for distance transmission.

Or the romans or the Mongols?

Why would that be funny?

Available year round and seasonal isn't an oxymoron. Something can be both. Just look at potatoes, we learned a long time ago how to store them. Doesn't mean there isn't a time in the fall with they're the freshest and cheapest.

Hey, parsley has it's place. Especially in a butter or chimicuri sauce. I believe the listing was for flat parsley which is not the fancy garnish one.

Actually, you can rely on the customers. They're the only ones that can tell you.

I thought it was a belt and suspenders conclusion

What would a space hurricane look like?

Your honor, I only murdered one person, that effect size isn't large, there's 9 billion people on earth. You should dismiss this case.

His reasoning isn't valid.

Not only is he wrong that it doesn't impact him, because VTI is impacted, but the whole premise is wrong. "I'm not harmed" does not mean things are fine. If I go murder your neighbor, will you come to my trial and demand I go free because you weren't harmed? Should the judge let me go because he wasn't harmed?

Okay? Just because you don't have access to that investment vehicle doesn't mean others aren't using it. What type of reasoning is this? "I, personally, am not too badly effected, therefore it's not a problem"

And guess what, your VTI which does track NASDAQ as part of it's index is effected by this inclusion rule.

Literally the index. If you track the NASDAQ as part of your index you must obey it's inclusion rules.

Thanks! I'm cured! I'm glad you told me to man up, I'd never thought to do that myself.

I know that this is a glib response, but really that's the only way to respond to these comments. They're farcical and we have long known them to be unreasonable. Mocking them is the only way to get some people to learn it seems.

People are different. What you find easy and trainable, someone else will find it doesn't require training and someone else will try as hard as they can and won't succeed.

should we give them a break for split second mistakes bearing in mind what we're asking them to do - also yes

I disagree. Those we empower to take life must be held to the highest possible standard. After all, there is no returning from that path once it's taken.

Something's wrong with all of them. Uncanny valley freaks.

The subheadings are all full of AI tells.

The closure problem, honestly accounted

A thermodynamic framing

All of those read like AI, especially considering that the subsections aren't consistent. Some are numbers, some are not, some are framings some are problem juxtapositions.

EM dashes everywhere, AI tells in subheadings, "It's not X it's Y" all over the text of the body. This is clearly AI writen.

Notice also the article has two by lines. At the top it's "by Paul Gilster" at the top of the text it's "by Peter Marinko"

Also note that the "metallugrist" they're interviewing that they claim "his current work explores the thermodynamics of technological civilizations" at Uppsala University, but the university's page for him says he's only involved in Animal Research Ethics Committee

That's an importance nuance and makes the previous statements even more clear. I have the full picture now.

Cannot they still don't write

Amusing to see someone complaining about not using their definition of "proper language" when they themselves are not using proper language.

Please explain how drones reduce crime?

How are you defining public? When a drone flies over my backyard and records me naked in my hot tub, is that public now?

Mind you that scenario is explicitly forbidden by law, the drones are only supposed to record at the scene but the police are illegally recording for the entire flight.

Should the police be allowed to break the law when they feel like it? Or should they be held to the same (or higher) standard as the general population because of the extra authority we give them

I mean sure, if you do it that way. But its easy to encode the page starting index and pagenate from there. Its even exactly the same algorithm as infinite scroll.

Paintballs are destroying public property?

Flock cameras are public property?

run around doing crime

This is begging the question. You have not established that someone being surveilled by drones is engaged in crime.

You are absolutely giving up privacy (essential liberty) for security in these cases. Drone cameras don't stop observing just because you're in your backyard, or in your house, or in a private area.
