Yes sorry, man-workyears not man-hours. > "Our automated review found nothing wrong with [this ad that implies a young child performing sexual activities]" That's also a screw-up, …

Perhaps, but when you're operating at any significant scale accidents become a statistical certainty. 0 screw ups, ever is not a realistically achievable goal. And if some limited …

Yes it's meaningful, and the fine amount should reflect that. But hypothetically, if it's (just throwing a random number out there) 1 image in 50 billion, and Facebook gets more be…

As it should be. If the cost of fixing the problem is greater than the amount of harm the problem is actually causing to society, then it shouldn't be fixed. Set fine amounts accor…

> there are many streams that no one ever canoes down, because it would be an enormous pain. There isn’t a way to represent this is OSM today Had you considered `canoe=discouraged`…

You could store the ID in a tag. They already do this for e.g. wikidata[1] and gnis[2]. Though I kinda doubt they want to support maintaining these for every single project that wa…

I agree with you in principle, but from a practical perspective if you make piracy that trivial you'll get a lot more pirates, maybe even accidental pirates. I think as a compromis…

Yes, and as I said that's a problem with the laws, which "put the onus on Google to verify the user's age". If it were legal for the device itself to somehow determine the user's a…

You're seriously proposing letting governments decide which of their citizens are allowed unrestricted access to the internet? Of all the 3rd parties who could be responsible for t…

Well, the API itself seems fairly well designed from a privacy perspective. It only shares age ranges, not specific ages, and only if you allow it. The data is also fuzzed to preve…

This is the same mentality that drives companies to sue cybersecurity researchers for exposing vulnerabilities in their software instead of fixing the software, or to insist on kee…

If you can convince a jury with that story then it might work. Personally I wouldn't buy it. Would you?

The government can throw people in jail too but if you kidnap someone and lock them in your basement that's a crime. This is no different.

Yeah and to be more precise the problem isn't really that individuals don't get tax incentives for buying their own plan, it's that employers don't get tax incentives for giving in…

Yes. Employers get huge tax incentives for providing insurance, while individuals don't. This ensures that the only economical way to buy health insurance is through an employer, w…

Yes, the title gave me whiplash because I went in expecting an argument for socialized healthcare, then read a couple paragraphs and realized the article was actually presenting an…

The passkey design does take this into account, it's only the implementations that don't.

Because as I just outlined, passwords, even when stored in a password manager, can be misused. (Phished, set to something weak/guessable, reused on multiple sites, leaked in a data…

"A better version of password syncing" is exactly what Passkeys are and ought to be. Just like passwords, but unphishable, unguessable, not reusable across sites, not vulnerable to…

> 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 It would, if the people implementing it …

Compared to multiple competing privately run systems, which you can opt out of even if you're in the minority ? Yes.

Yeah this is basically my take as well. The problem with not having eminent domain is that without it, for any project of sufficient size you'll end up with ~100+ land owners who e…
