    This isn’t the sort of thing I expect people to “get in trouble” for at the time of filing. I expect that years later, if the startup turns out to be worth something and the taxpay…

    This was on an iPad. My experience before had been that I was able to register an iCloud passkey for Google 2SV when using Safari on iOS/iPadOS, but I was unable with Chrome. At th…

    I wrote about my experience with passkey support on other services here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35758918 . That experience was mostly negative. For anyone implementin…

    Update: I decided to go back and look at the settings pages for the two that worked. Kayak shows a "Set up passkey" button with no indication that I already have one or any apparen…

    I want to be enthusiastic about this technology and at first I was, but it's getting harder. I tried to set up passkeys with the sites listed here that I already have accounts on. …

    knaekhoved your comment is dead which I think is unfortunate because it seems better to inform you than bury your comment so I'll reply here: the page did mean N -> N, given the co…

    It incentivizes the welfare-maximizing result. I don’t have a short “intuitive” explanation of why handy but the math is covered in section 8.3 of Public Choice III (should be easy…

    I wasn’t there but I have seen multiple histories say that there were servers that accepted connections from anyone (most famously eris.berkeley.edu but not only that one). For exa…

    It doesn’t have *. What it has is listed in the declaration starting with “C vt[]”. Those are the names of verbs and the following lines give the function pointers for their monadi…

    It might be that the LLC is liable for the taxes and not you personally. Do you really want to pay $1600 for something you aren’t really using or do you want to abandon it and walk…

    Nothing related to screen resolution. Wifi worked via the command-line tools mentioned in the manual, or the KDE interface. Similar for other things. I didn't stick with KDE--I swi…

    I do. When I installed it the default configuration had no desktop enabled but had commented-out lines to enable KDE. I think it's best to think of it as not having a default or pr…
