This is a really horrible policy and I personally know a fair few people and families that are going to have their lives upended by this. On the other hand I've always wondered if most of America's competitive advantage at driving

I'm not sure reCAPTCHA is really trying to detect automated vs human interaction with a browser. The primary use-case is to detect abusive use. The distinction here is if I automate my own browser to do things for me on sites using m

I don't see how a Google breakup can be operationalized. There's just no way the company's stack can support it without decades of work. It'd be like dismembering a person and expecting all the pieces to go off and thri

They placed farms right in front of my house on a pristine part of bantry bay. Nobody wanted them and now the water on the shore is covered in orange scum. I don't dare swim anymore. They never should have been allowed because the flow

I recently left a long career in FANG to roll the dice on an early startup. I was pretty surprised by the uneven terms between founders and early employees. From what I could tell the early employees takes more risk than the founders be

Does anybody wonder if these attacks aren't performing a public good in the long run by hardening our tech infrastructure in the West? It seems like hostilities with Russia, China, et al are likely to just get worse over time, and the

My daughter stopped reading when her school forced an ipad on us with no way for us to administer our own screen time controls. Now I never know if she's doing homework or trapped down some YouTube shorts rabbit hole.

The hardware is so great but mac os is so far from my liking. It's such a shame that the OS options are so limited on these machines. (I'm aware of asahi)

This has been pretty obvious for a while. Whenever I do product searches on Amazon the prime eligible results are more expensive by exactly the shipping costs of the non prime vendors. The only reason I keep it is for the video service whic

Sorry I didn't know about /s. I don't judge one way or another. Subject hallucinating the material world, or object hallucinating a subjective experience. I love you all.

After having spent a fair amount of time using various different tools to attempt to control their screen time, my conclusion is that it was a mistake to have any screens in the house in the first place. A library of great books, good games

I only started digging into this space last week, but I think cosign, rekor, and fulcio are not related projects but rather critical components of sigstore. Cosign is the cli for signing and verifying artifacts, Rekor is the transparency
