Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-21 23:06:14

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management. Similarly, let’s just imagine away the vague grey area between consumers and businesses

Trump’s Proposed Budget Threatens Key Part of Mission to Send Astronauts to Mars

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-02-22 00:55:50

For more than 20 years, NASA has relied on a network of spacecraft circling Mars to send data to and from the Red Planet. Without the constellation of five orbiters, the agency would not have been able to land its rovers on Mars or guide them through its terrain. Although the White House is keen on advancing human missions to the Martian surface, it also wants to get rid of that vital lifeline The Mars Relay Network is a fleet of orbiters equipped with radio systems powered by the Sun to mainta

How and Where to Recycle Your Old Computers and Printers

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-22 00:15:48

Everyone's got old, unused devices sitting around their homes. It can be weirdly difficult to get rid of your old laptop, desktop or printer -- even when it's been over a decade since you last switched it on. But recycling old tech can free up a lot of space in your home. A recent CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto unused old devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them. The survey also found that 19% of respondents just toss old devices

Tinder is mandating face checks for California residents

Tinder is requiring new users in California to verify their identities by using facial recognition, according to a report by Axios . The policy goes into effect today as a test program. The obvious reason behind this is to make sure people are who they say they are. Dating apps, after all, are a haven for scammers .

Data Centers, Temperature, and Power

It’s easy to open a data center, right? All you have to do is connect a bunch of hard drives to power and the internet, find a building, and you’re off to the races. Well, not exactly. Building and using one Storage Pod is quite a bit different than managing exabytes of data. As the world has grown more connected, the demand for data centers has grown—and then along comes artificial intelligence (AI), with processing and storage demands that amp up the need even more.

In these leaked images, the Nothing Headphone 1 appears once again with its retro-futuristic cassette-inspired look.

The Project Hail Mary trailer looks like The Martian all over again (in a great way)

Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors. That's what happened with The Martian, which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation — thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. And I have a feeling the same will be true for the latest Weir adaptation, Project Hail Mary, judging from the first trailer released today. It's got everyt
