Did you read the article? It's not about security best practice. It's about human nature and how that relates to security best practice. Until human nature changes this article is going to be pretty close to timeless.
- bargl 11y agoSorry I wasn't clear in my comment, but at the end I state the same thing. The Schneier article is still true, but the linked microsoft research article needs an update. >That all said the sentiment of the article still stands true. Users (like my family) hate worrying about security. When I said "article" I was talking about the full document which gets directly into security best practice. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cormac/papers/2009/SoLongAndNoThanks.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cormac/papers/... Also HN Comment guidlines indicate you shouldn't ask Did you read the article? > Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- zaphar 11y agoYou are correct. I usually don't start out my comments that way. It was an off day. I'll leave it as is so your reply still makes sense :-(
- bargl 11y agoI was also having an off day yesterday specifically around HN, but seeing your comment made my day. Thanks :-) I hope you have a much better day today as well.
