Wish your experience was better than this. For me, sidecar is total game changer and the best!

Was more curious to just HOW it's done / been done

Anyone have a good resource of backdoor / spy / sketchy China computer manufacturing things?

I always see info about the Huawei scandal for example, and I would love to read a great write up of more specific technical details of things going on

I wish all 2FA worked like when logging in with your Apple ID.

- 2FA by default

- Push notifications for the token to all your devices instantly

- Not a text message

Yes but could be a dystopian positive for the people...

How long until someone uses this against the “oligarch“ validators?

E.g.: an AdBlock browser extension is on unless they send some microfunds to your account / transfer Libra funds to you.

If you’re not familiar with display ads it’s a literal bidding war per space per user by the advertiser. Platforms don’t care they just get a cut.

Now, I could see this: turn it around and have this “central authority” by having them bidding for you to turn on your ads based on their data’s understanding of likeliness to click.

Agree and wasn't really saying that

Agree. Just don't see it as malicious

To be fair...

The front page of Hacker News is pretty much a Google hate hangoutfest -- so maybe cut some slack on this one...

I'm sure the NYT reporter was not acting malicious.

Maybe they will even issue correction or update in time. No one would argue that speed of social media and corrections is not ideal, but I would bet they are trying to be accurate and transparent with their readers.

I just seriously doubt the reporter and editors who published this info did so solely with the goal to attack Google by "promoting" a questionable study.
