  • Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords

  • Most of the sites I've seen use it as the single auth source. That said, using multiple forms of authentication in a layered model only improves security.

  • I use Bitwarden and it syncs it all up between devices.

    The biggest annoyance is disabling Firefox's popovers that tend to cover the Bitwarden popovers.

  • That's the root of the problem. Nontechnical people don't use good passwords, but all the ideas we have for replacing them are only usable by more technically minded people.

    There are a variety of other reasons why passwords are bad, though.

  • Utah judge rejects GOP-favored map, handing Dems another redistricting win

    Jump

  • There's some math here that may work against them. The mechanics behind gerrymandering are such that you give your opponent a couple of safe districts of 15 to 20 points in their favor, and then give yourself a lot more districts that are 7 to 15 points in your favor.

    What happens if the whole thing shifts out from under you, and suddenly there's an extra 10 points against you? What happens is you lose almost everything.

    The elections held last week were sometimes shifting 20 points in favor of Democrats. If those numbers hold for next year's midterms, Republicans will be absolutely flooded out.

    Wisconsin's 2024 state assembly map isn't as gerrymandered as it was, but still pretty gerrymandered. Here's the list of results of that election:

    https://www.wpr.org/election-results-2024-state-assembly

    If you switch 20 points towards the Democrats across the board, I count that Republicans would end up with 11 seats out of 99. Some of those are even granting them the win on three way races or where they ran uncontested.

    This will work very well as long as Democrats don't do anything stupid. Such as caving on the government shutdown. That might be a disaster. Good thing they know to avoid doing that.

  • Which could be seen as a way of defining the mechanics of how emotions work.

    I think there are very good arguments that Data does have emotions, but they get expressed in different ways. If curiosity is considered an emotion (I've read competing ideas on that), then Data certainly has at least one emotion.

    The Orville explicitly ran with this idea.

  • ‘REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY’: Trump threatens to replace absent air traffic controllers with ‘true Patriots’

  • 200 flights per day are what Chicago Midway does. Chicago O'Hare does 10 times that much.

    Combat controllers can only go so far.

  • Last time was a disaster that put the ATC system on a long term downwards spiral. They can't afford to do that again.

    I mean, they could. It would end with the complete collapse the US air transport system.

  • Duffy: ’15 to 20′ air traffic controllers retiring daily during shutdown

    Jump

  • There likely isn't a way to do that. Not while maintaining a reasonable level of air travel safety and scale.

  • ‘REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY’: Trump threatens to replace absent air traffic controllers with ‘true Patriots’

    Jump

  • They can pull up some people from the military who run ATC on bases. Those bases don't have anywhere near the traffic levels that large commercial hubs do, but they might be able to move people around and fill in capacity at smaller airports.

    That said, the shutdown is only accelerating issues that have been there since Reagan fired the striking ATC workers. Trump can bloviate about "TRUE PATRIOTS" all he wants. Patriotism can't direct a plane to the right runway. There's a certain level of reality that gets in the way. Ending the shutdown won't change the long term trends. Doing the same plan a second time would only end in disaster. It barely worked the first time; it's what put us on this long term downwards cycle on the whole ATC system.

  • What do you think is the best course of action to address cult movements, either as a whole or on an individual level?

    Jump

  • FWIW, being an ex-JW, I've very rarely heard any other ex-JW suggest banning them outright. Besides moral concerns, nobody really thinks it would work. By all means, come down on them for specific crimes (like hiding pedophiles), but blanket bans are a no.

  • What do you think is the best course of action to address cult movements, either as a whole or on an individual level?

    Jump

  • Anyone can get wrapped up in a cult, because just about everyone goes through a phase in their life when they would be primed for that mindset. Such as loss of a job with nowhere to go, or loss of a loved one.

    Jump

  • Realize that you can't convince someone to leave in the course of a conversation, but that you can make the little crack that opens up years later.

    The loss of the guy at the center of a cult of personality can quickly disperse the cult. Very rarely, they're able to transition into a cult of an idea rather than a personality. That's a difficult transition to pull off, and there's usually planning ahead of time.

    There's not a lot of quick solutions otherwise.

  • Several designers pointed me to Ian Storm Taylor’s article, “Design Tip: Never Use Black.” In it, Taylor argues that pure black is more concept than color. “We see dark things and assume they are black things,” he writes. “When, in reality, it’s very hard to find something that is pure black. Roads aren’t black. Your office chair isn’t black. The sidebar in Sparrow isn’t black. Words on web pages aren’t black.”

    Taylor was correct. The problem is applying it badly. You can back off from absolute black and white while still having good contrast. This is especially true for dark mode.

    The author later compares things to newspapers, which are traditionally black on white. Except not quite; newsprint paper isn't bleached white, and I'm guessing the ink isn't quite as deep black as it first appears, either.

    More importantly, there's an important distinction between newspapers and computer screens. Newspapers only reflect light around them, while screens give off their own light. This means screens can be significantly brighter than the environment around them.

    That's why dark mode works so well. It keeps the bright points on the screen to the parts you need.
