  • Commence psychological breakdown

    Jump

  • Agreed, but without showing it, it would be extremely confusing to the audience. After watching the extended scene, it would have been really bad if they left that all in. Plus the scene is funny with the eddie van halen tape, and also uses the contents of Doc's luggage with the hair dryer for another gag.

  • Ok, I think I get what you're saying. You mean have a different form input without the password, like how it's done here: https://eu.app.orcasecurity.io/login? I guess that's one way to do it, but it's not really intuitive from a user perspective, since the first thing you see is a password field, and then think you don't have access because you don't have a password. This one comes to mind because I have had to tell people to click the tab for the email only field, not email and password.

  • Not sure I'd take design inspiration from Microsoft of all places. Also https://login.live.com/ has the same workflow email -> continue -> password. Not sure where you're seeing Log in with SSO option.

  • I can imagine that the sites want to validate that you still have access to the email associated with the account, and asking people to check their settings is annoying, and they know no one will do it. I can also imagine that sites want to know as much about you as possible, don't want you to be using burner email addresses, and are probably selling the fact that your email address can still receive email to marketing firms who compile that info.

  • This is because of Enterprise Single Sign On. You can try this for yourself by going to https://gmail.com/ and enter the email of a public person at a large org, for example the CEO of Doordash (tony@doordash.com). After you enter the email, you get sent to Doordash's employee portal to authenticate. Based on the email you provide, Gmail has to figure out if you need to provide a password to gmail itself or if the email authenticates another way.

  • Is private age verification technically possible and if so how?

    Jump

  • But why create a system which inconveniences everyone, introduces privacy leakage, and which would be inadequate to curb the problem? Sure the comparison with booze and cigarettes at point of sale sounds like it accomplishes the same thing to restrict access to adults, but one kid buying a six pack with a fake ID can only share it with a few friends, and if they try to buy multiple kegs for a party with the whole school, there's is probably some more scrutiny, and of course the cost, which makes it unlikely. Compare this to a code which could be texted to an entire class the moment someone gets their hand on one.

    And from an implementation side, if platforms and services exist which don't comply with the law, for example 4chan [https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/investigation-into-4chan-and-its-compliance-with-duties-to-protect-its-users-from-illegal-content], then implementing these restrictions will just push kids to the unregulated platforms. It'll have the unintended outcomes, and take away the controls from the parents, which will do more harm than good.

  • Alcohol / tobacco / firearms can't be digitally shared or reproduced. Imagine a high school with a mix of 14 - 18 year olds. If an 18 year old can get a valid code without hassle, they can share it with their friends who are in the same class, but are still 17. Or maybe they'll share it with a sibling who is 16. What's to stop it spreading from there? It will probably take just an hour for half of the school to get access to the one code. If the system assumes that kids won't directly or indirectly share their codes with one another, then the system doesn't understand teenage behavior and is flawed.

  • Agreed, and for every site which would comply with these rules, there are 10-100 which won't and are not able to be controlled in the jurisdiction. Teenagers will find a way to get around restrictions, and will go to sites which are less regulated, and possibly not have the controls in place to flag grooming interactions, promoting self harm, etc.

  • Were you ever a teenager? This would be abused immediately, unless the codes were single use, and in that case it's a non-starter.

  • This is the way. I think this is what Apple is finally implementing, but since they took too long to do so, governments have been passing laws which require privacy invasive measures that fill the void. Hard to say if that will reverse itself now that there's a whole age-verification industry that popped up. Actually it's unclear to me if the age-verification industry manufactured a problem to push their solution?

    Had Apple implemented this in their Parental Controls setting, it would have avoided the government intervention and shady age-verification companies from popping up.

  • 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips

    Jump

  • That seems like a broad generalization, and for specialized software that requires newer hardware, you'd expect to find the rate of bitflips crashes much lower than 10%. You could argue that since Firefox is supported on older operating systems, longer than the support lifetime of the OS ^[https://www.theverge.com/tech/880781/mozilla-is-dropping-firefox-support-for-windows-7-and-8], it's likely Firefox is being used specifically to get the last bit of life out of the hardware before it gets trashed.

  • Fringe is worth it for the White Tulip episode alone. For me that was when the series changed from a monster of the week series to actual art.
