Google has an ownership taking process, the user gets informed and during next login their address changes to a gtemp account and they are informed

It's written in the linked article actually, there will be new lower privileged apps that can do this

It's just an older design from a more innocent time, newer specifications don't allow this, but to maximise compatibility Bluetooth stacks left the new behaviour off.

The pr seems to suggest it's not the filename though given the new file was named the same and didn't crash.

I would guess grammarly is hooking chrome and potentially trying to read metadata about images, and the particular gif had metadata in a format they hadn't expected.

Issues don't mean downtime though, and GitHub has lots more features. For example an issue noted here was stale commits of up to 7 minutes in 9% of new pull requests... I'm willing to bet such issues aren't acknowledged by most platforms

Even by 2005 design standards this would be a terrible logo to be fair, it looks more mid 90s

Sure, but where does the energy come from to actively remove? Because that's usually the point, the energy creation created more than the removal removed.

I mean, if you abuse formatting enough I suppose... although I will say, the pipeline/bind operator has been in proposal for a decade at this point.. it's depressing that some version hasn't shipped, because C# extensions and similar in swift can really help shift how from what.. it* could really help JavaScript a lot

Do you have a source for the 14%?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an Azure related issue, given some of the similar madness I've experienced on Azure

Exactly, the phone number thing is quite an illogical jump.. I think the author has a problem with Microsoft more than anything - I can't help but think you'll enjoy life more by not looking to be outraged, all the best to this individual.

Even if that's true (apple is a bit ambiguous here because they say passcode login is enough), this is still connected to a need to login physically, it sets a much higher cost of acquisition for most.. plus this isn't relevant.. the tech is still aimed at proving real human interaction, even if it's not perfect at that today..

Again, you need only research and find they are designed independently not to allow this https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10077/

Where's the incentive to block your potential customers?

It actually does, that's entirely it's purpose.. I know it takes a little effort to actually go and research yourself, but here you go https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10077/

This isn't a watermark though, the idea of a watermark is that it's inherently embedded in the data itself while not drastically changing the data

Some of the takes about why attestation is bad seem purposely false because the author dislikes the feature. If attestation isn't triggered then prior behaviour will happen (captcha etc).. this is a progressive feature.. and the point of the attestation isn't to prove you're using an approved device, it's to prove a human is actually present, of which, a verified software stack is needed, otherwise the feature is useless..

Almost like it might be a scam, odd

This article is evidence? what?

This gets brought up every time this concept is floated. As if web developers don't already face this challenge today, and as if web browsers aren't developed with huge amounts of regression analysis. Not only that, but today browsers are considerably more consistent between them.

Why do you say this is one of the coolest part?

That's fair, I suppose my point is there are easier ways, I don't think there's any way to technically achieve full privacy on the current design of the internet that couldn't be circumvented by operational changes. But perhaps the point is more that technologies like this are maybe used more to provide false assurance through obscurity. Although it does sound skeptical and bleak given there is no real solutions to that.

How far does this scenario go though? it would be easier for Google to just deploy a changed client app (chrome) that skips the blinding infrastructure, or just sends the user information to them at the same time anyway. In the end, unless you're reading and building every line of code (and maybe even hardware) you are delegating trust.

It doesn't need to be 'sentient' to follow logical reasoning, in fact-this kind of logical reasoning is often the thing they excel at.

Agree, there's truly very little value add here.

Given that JavaScript syntax evolution seems to have stalled again (a decade of proposals for bind operator?) I feel like I know why languages like this are appearing, having written quite a bit of swift and kotlin recently, JavaScript really would benefit from shipping bind syntax.

Having used an adblock for a decade or more, it's actually shocking to browse without one these days, it actually feels like I've got malware, with many many sites having LAYERS of ads, like they are buckshotting and expecting most to be blocked.

This is pretty doable with mapped types in TS, to make it work without a compilation step though is pending on https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/32063

Although in practice the mapped types to do this do slow down the typing service non trivially.

Poetry ended up being mostly a disappointment having used it for the last 18 months. First time installs were eventually an hour long to resolve, and lock files were platform specific, making using them for reproducibility almost useless. The wider python ecosystem is frankly painful to productionize even today and it really does need some focus and governance.

Kind of wild they don't require domain ownership proof in this case though, if I'm displaying one domain but actually linking to another, I should need to prove I own the original domain
