As someone who never comments on HN, I would like to voice my absolute disapproval of this new policy. As these decisions are not made in a vacuum, I have no doubt the recent developments in the political landscape have contributed to this decision (e.g. UK Online "Safety" Act, EU Chat Control, EU Age Verification solution, probably others). Coupled with the recent "mandatory" (read: forced) upgrade of my Pixel 4a, I get the impression Google's attitude towards phones has become equivalent to Apple's: namely, the illusion of choice.

Since there are no viable alternatives, I guess it's time to go back to owning a cheap corporate/government approved phone for official business (i.e. banking), and another one that I actually use.

As an aside, the presentation[0] doesn't really go into the details how they will enforce this (on-device? Remotely? If the latter, can I just remove Play Services from my device to sideload whatever?), but you can apparently submit feedback about the verification process here[1].

That's funny, my first thought was that it's a reference to Star Trek, where Q is an omnipotent and annoying know-it-all entity (which is what I would expect from an AI).

There's also the fact that you can't auth using pub keys, and are consequently stuck using password auth (as a workaround, I usually just set the credential cache expiration to some huge value). Despite this, it's only half-annoying, but again, as you pointed out, only if one of your collaborators happens to have the premium version.

I really hope the typst webapp gets git support soon so it at least gets feature parity with Overleaf in this department (issue tracker: https://github.com/typst/webapp-issues/issues/25).

I'm a researcher in theoretical cosmology with extensive experience in coming up with theoretical models, making statistical forecasts, and working with numerical simulations. At the moment, I am working primarily on making better scientific software tools, as well as making forecasts and applying machine learning techniques for upcoming galaxy surveys. I enjoy solving complex problems, building maintainable and customizable software, and automating tasks using command-line tools. Currently on the lookout for new opportunities in a more applied setting, either in research (development of scientific software), or industry (backend or data analysis/engineering).

I'm a researcher in theoretical cosmology (6 YOE), working primarily on scientific software tools and forecasts for galaxy surveys, currently looking for new opportunities, either in research (scientific software development), or industry (backend or data analysis/engineering). I enjoy automating and optimizing stuff, building pipelines, and being pedantic and thorough, especially when it comes to software development. Not afraid of complex math or statistics!
