Good points. What do you think about a 2FA-type of setup where if someone tries this then it sends a message to the device that asks if you are trying to access something through a webapp and if you say no then it blocks access until the co

What is stopping companies from implementing timers to prevent brute force attacks? Limit password entry attempts to 3 then if still wrong then wait 1 minute. One more wrong entry then wait 3 minutes then 15 minutes then 1 hour, 4 hours, 8

Is this fundamental attribution error? Perhaps the reason it is more expensive is because it presents much less of a risk to purchase vs. on the street? It could also be that there is not a lot of competition selling legal weed. Maybe it is

Be forewarned: A lot of these kits only test for the presence of, not quality/purity of, MDMA and other forms of E. That being said, someone would definitely pipe up and say "this killed my friend" if something were to go wro

I would liken Yelp to be closer to organized crime than Uber. Yelp subtly shakes down businesses as part of their revenue through the "People love us on Yelp" program to earn the sticker on their business and because of the percep

The organized part in organized from refers to an organization. The crime part obviously refers to the crime but the actual definition refers to the fact that the organization gets its revenue through the commission of crime. It isn't

It seems to be prevalent in Baltimore. I couldn't find the "many" places that hacks are common names for illegal cabs. Chicago, Philadelphia and NYC all use hack to refer to legally licensed cabs and they're all much lar

It might appear that bvanslyke is correct because if Uber is understood to be breaking the law and that revolves around the core of their business then they could be considered in the business of organized crime. I can't help but quest

"Hack" is a slang name for a taxi driver in general not necessarily a gypsy cab. Livery cab might be the term you're looking for.

Uber cars aren't gypsy or livery cabs because the difference is that gypsy and livery cabs often try to shake down the passenger for more money than what was previously quoted or agreed on. I had the exact experience that monksy outlin

Advice to attempt to find a loophole or skirt the law in some way probably won't turn out good for Amazon. A better approach would be to cooperate and participate in discussions with the FAA and for Amazon to perhaps help pioneer new r

If you change the passcode from simple to complex and then set a 4-digit passcode it doesn't automatically try after you enter the 4th digit. It asks you to press OK. This means you could enter 4 digits but not know whether the passcod

I've noticed a vicious cycle much like many of you that I'd blame on the manufacturer more than the consumer. It goes like so: consumer buys expensive product, product lasts 10 years then breaks, consumer can't buy same produ

Wiping a phone in dfu mode removes the password as well. I learned the hard way when I forgot my pin and had to wipe and restore. It also bypasses activation lock because phones sold overseas are usually sold to countries that do not subscr

The nothing to hide idea is interesting because it works both ways. If I have nothing to hide then I shouldn't worry about the NSA, according to them. On the other hand, if I have nothing to hide then they should have no reason to surv
