What counts as morally legitimate?

That's for each person to decide on their own.

I'd much rather everyone think deeply about this question than merely hope we all come to the same conclusion.


You said it's "certainly not possible to do so" so I'm curious as to what counts by your view. The way you said it implies that other people must necessarily reach a conclusion that largely agrees with you.

Inequality by itself doesn't cause bad safety. the following countries have a higher share of wealth controlled by the top 10% than vietnam and also a lower homicide rate: singapore, uae, switzerland, sweden, qatar. that's just off a very quick search i'm sure there are more. Certainly in none of those countries are people hunkering down in private fortified castles for fear of stepping out in public.

Easy practical definition: something you couldn't make in your own kitchen no matter how good of a chef you were. eg you could can beans, you couldn't make a poptart.


The article says canned kidney beans are in the ultra-processed category, and I can do canning in my own home (haven't since I was a kid and did it with my parents, but theoretically I would if I had a large garden).

Perhaps I'm just looking for too sharp of an edge on the definition. It's just that the examples in the article are something that make me doubt the entire ontology.


The lack of a clear definition is the core of why this advice is unworkable, will never see wide adoption, and will be abandoned sooner or later.

The fact that enriched white pasta isn't included on the ultra-processed list shows that they're using some criteria outside of how processed the food is to make the list.


The usual canned beans (at least here in Brazil) are not ultra-processed, just processed, as they normally contain beans, water and salt.


That's the only ingredient list I have ever seen on canned beans as well, here in the US. I tend to make beans from dry just because I like to cook them with other vegetables and spices in order for beans to be at all palatable for me.

I wish journalists would run their examples like these by the researchers directly to see if the journalist's conception of the idea matches the researchers.


What happens if you lose all your hardware factors (eg if you have a home fire)? Are you just locked out of all your accounts with this approach?


Not if the Passkey was synced (ex: you used iCloud keychain). If the passkey was not synced, then I would have to assume it would be the same if you lost a physical hardware key.


How do you access iCloud without your passkey?


Complain loudly on Twitter and hope your tweet goes viral.


Apple account recovery supports setting a recovery code or having a friend listed as a recovery contact.

Apple does not yet support Passkey for iCloud accounts login.


I use a yubikey. But AFAIK, Apple doesn't actually use passkeys for iCloud/Apple ID authentication.


Not yet, but Google wants them to become ubiquitous. So in that (far) future, backing your passkeys up in a cloud (that is also protected by passkeys) doesn't help


Call Tim, he'll vouch for you.


As someone unfamiliar with their privacy policy, can you explain what’s egregious about it?


Remember when they tried to force everyone to accept the new terms or they would disable access after a certain date? Then they walked it back after people started using alternative platforms.

The privacy policy was never "walked back", they decided to do it anyway after the controversy (on HN and other platforms) died down.

Here's a newer article showing the metadata being sent to Facebook (presumably for advertising purposes), it includes your phone number, device ID, and location.

It's a misspelling of gmail.com


Ah! That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering the same thing and had to search the comments for an explanation


There's a great SSC story about this concept: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/11/09/ars-longa-vita-brevis/


I used to use tower, but I switched to fork for two reasons - it was more performant with my work monorepo, and fork's a one time payment and tower's an annual subscription (and more expensive). I'm not affiliated with them at all but I'm a happy customer and recommend you give it a shot; they have a free trial.


I’m not the GP. I don’t like subscriptions and looked at Fork after your comment. I couldn’t find the policy on versions and upgrades. Is it a one time purchase with updates for major versions or for a period of time (after which updates wouldn’t be available) or a one time purchase forever (how would the developers and the product survive)? The purchase page says one license is for up to three computers. It doesn’t explain it there is some activation process (in which case there needs to be a way to deactivate and reassign).


Hi! I develop Fork with my wife. We don't have manager, marketing team, designers, etc. We also don't have meetings which makes us more efficient :). So, we don't need too much money to survive. Answering your question, yes, it's a one-time purchase which includes future updates. We may release a major paid update in the future, however currently we don't have plans for that. The license is cross-platform. You can activate, deactivate and reassign the license.


GP here. Thanks for your detailed reply. Please add this information on your website, maybe on the license page or elsewhere.


Found another issue - in the ipad app changing the font size doesnt change the size indicator


Yes, I can reproduce it too. Thanks for letting me know. I'll be fixing this tomorrow.


This looks really cool! Any plans to offer one time payment as an alternative to subscriptions? Also heads up clicking login on your main website didn't work for me - I had to use signup to go to app.notesnook.com and then switch to the login modal


Whoops. Good catch. Fixed it right now.

As for one-time subscription, no unfortunately not. I personally don't think it's sustainable because we'll be rolling out releases often. The $4.49 subscription gives us a good breathing room and support to work on more features. In return our users get new features and bug fixes very fast.
