<p>MCP auth has been a huge pain point for us at C1 - both for our own internal MCP use and in our in-product MCP Gateway - so very glad to see this landing.<p>We launched support today for C1 to act as an EMA identity provider (we mint the short-lived scoped tokens), so I'm excited to hook this up for Linear and some of the other MCPs we use, and get out of the business of constant OAuth flows. Claude has been doing this magically for some of their built-in connectors (at least Slack I think) and the experience is pretty great.<p>Disclosure: VPE at C1. We wrote up how we’re approaching it here if anyone’s in the weeds on this: <a href="https://www.c1.ai/docs/product/admin/enterprise-managed-authorization/overview" rel="nofollow">https://www.c1.ai/docs/product/admin/enterprise-managed-auth...</a></p>

<p>I think the argument would go that if people are clicking through certificate errors and you're in a position to MITM their traffic, you can just serve them a different certificate and they'll click through the error without noticing or understanding the specifics.</p>

<p>I don't quite understand the goal of this project.<p>It says they're preventing 15,000 tons of emissions, but there are all kinds of ways to prevent or offset greenhouse gas emissions for under $10/ton. So at a glance this project appears to be <i>allowing</i> almost 2 million tons in preventible emissions in order to... pay people to bike around and collect food scraps?</p>

<p>At least in the Pacific Northwest most Electrify America installations are in Walmart parking lots. These have caused me to spend more time at Walmart the past two years, honestly its a pretty good experience - aside from EA reliability issues, which seem to have improved but still far short of Tesla.</p>

<p>This looks great!<p>At risk of harping on a tired topic, have you thought about embedding an AI query generator? For ad-hoc queries like I mostly use DuckDB for I’ve found it’s almost always fastest for me to paste the schema to ChatGPT, tell it what I’ll looking for, then paste the response back into the DuckD CLI, but the whole process isn’t very ergonomic.<p>I think I’m sort of after duckbook.ai, but with access to a local duckdb.</p>

<p>It doesn’t sound to me like the boat actually sank. In the article it mentioned that they heard the rescue helicopter from within. Wouldn’t that imply that the pressure inside would be one atmosphere? Am I thinking about the physics of this wrong?</p>
