It’s 100% to prevent citizens from becoming organized. The regime is most fearful of this.

Blockchain fees are too low. How much would you pay for a transfer?

The Aptos blockchain introduces a Passkey Authenticator that enables users to sign transactions with their Passkey

What is the adoption like of macOS Ventura?

burnrate — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 02:07:09 +0000

Does anyone know any good sources for where I could find this information? All of the sources I've looked at have been unreliable, I've listed two of them down below who both also admit to being unreliable.

Unreliable sources:

1. https://www.statista.com/statistics/944559/worldwide-macos-version-market-share/ states

Note that the source has indicated the fact that Apple has been reporting Big Sur 11 as Catalina 10.15, making its reported market share incorrectly high.

2. https://gs.statcounter.com/macos-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide

Apple are incorrectly reporting Big Sur 11 as Catalin 10.15. You can read more about it [here](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216593).

Seems like no one really knows what the actual numbers are?

Ask HN: 1Password passkeys don't require authentication

burnrate — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:10:39 +0000

I'm a little confused how 1Password's demo is registering a passkey without asking for authentication (like Yubikey or Touch ID).

For context, 1Password recently announced they were trying to support passkeys for password-less login and created a demo site for users to create passkeys with 1Password: https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/

I'm a Mac user, using chrome, and I was trying out the demo and I'm really confused how they are able to register a passkey with the user without making an authentication request for the user (like Touch ID, Yubikey, etc.). In the demo, when you authenticate, an overlay appears in the top right hand corner and registers you in automatically if you have the 1Password extension on your computer.

Additionally when I navigate to my chrome passkeys, (chrome://settings/passkeys), none are registered there with the rpId of the demo website.

For safety / security reasons, I'd like to better understand how they're stored if they're not stored on the device's secure environment. If anyone has any insights on this would really appreciate it.

New comment by burnrate in "Easy SaaS Burnrate Estimator"

burnrate — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 09:38:54 +0000

I’m Andrew, creator of https://burnrate.fyi. Thanks for checking out my product! I'm a bit of a noob to the hackernews scene, but here’s a brief overview of why I’m making this:

Problem

Cloud SaaS products (ie. AWS EC2, GCP, etc.) have very complicated pricing options and are difficult to compare. Because of this, it's also time-consuming to generate quick, relatively accurate burnrate estimations for your business.

Solution

Burnrate.fyi, the PCPartPicker of SaaS products. Imagine being able to estimate your cloud spend in 5 minutes across service providers, products, and stacks. Burnrate.fyi is here to help you do just that. We have a simplified, curated list of products and categories from Relational Databases, Servers, Authentication, and more. You can easily configure your product and add them to your imaginary cart to see a breakdown of how much you'll be spending per month. We also include things like data transfer (data egress) that aren’t usually factored into pricing estimates. We’re working hard on getting many more products and categories on the platform soon!

How it works

1. Pick a category

2. Configure your product and add to cart

3. View your cart!

Some neat features

- Dark mode

- Sortable and filterable pricing tables

- Imaginary cart with expense distribution

- Chart for comparing different services (ie. servers, dbs, serverless)

- Embedded on-hover definitions for technical jargon and pricing overviews

Thank you in advance!
