A lot of my ebooks are sitting in Apple Books for the convenience of syncing, this looks like it has the ability to do better library management and metadata editing. Fingers crossed it continues to thrive.
Really? We're talking about a transformation from a fixed and time-bound asset, the live experience of being physically present, into an entirely digital experience which can be replayed.
Doesn't this change the potential customer pool from people within traveling distance at the right time with enough money, into a global market?
Consider this: Sell the live courtside seat for the same 1000+; Open up sales for the virtual experience for 20% and sell it to anyone you like -- and, the next day, put the same no-longer-live experience available to pass-holders at $x/season and on-demand for $50 --
Haven't you just transformed your $1000 seat into some hugely increased figure?
I wouldn't know, but doesn't the point still hold if I can sell (let's say) 1000 tickets at movie ticket prices, which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to sell? Call it $15 * 1000 people ... ?
I think the made up hypothetical figures distracted from the main idea, I was questioning the position that NBA would lose value when it seems like technology like this would open up a new audience of consumers who might now be willing to spend some money that they wouldn't otherwise have spent.
Just chiming in to ask -- the immediate need for account recovery is in cases with lost or forgotten passwords. Am I right in assuming that account recovery becomes a much smaller attack surface when using passkeys? Or are there scenarios I'm overlooking?
It’s mostly how sites will likely still allow full account recovery with just sms-based authentication, making account recovery the weakest link. It’s still required, though, in case someone e.g. signs up with a passkey on their Windows desktop then forgot to enroll one on their phone before taking a vacation.
So you're covered for "forgotten" - but "lost" is still an issue. What happens when a user loses their passkey? (stolen phone, no backups, house fire, etc).
Got it, thanks. A blind spot on my part there. It's funny how quickly the concept of losing access to a phone has taken root, I'm fortunate to have never had that happen to me and I need to remember how easily it could.
I would speculate that roles which are filled through networking never get to the posting / interview stage. If that were the case it would make sense that being involved with interview boards would lead to seeing very few candidates getting a position through their network.
Oh, this is 100% true. Or if they do have a posting, it’ll be for legal reasons only but the person they are hiring has always been planned from the beginning.
While that sounds like it would unlock some very cool experiences it also scares me to think about the potential abuses of making personalized voice models fairly easily available. It seems like the sort of thing that would need to stay secure on your own device. It would be great to see some kind of middle ground where a text to speech mechanism would generate audio output and send that, rather than make the model itself available.
