From your link: > An activity that it is easy to learn the basics of, but difficulty to gain proficiency in, may be described as having "a steep learning curve". That matches QWERTY exactly.

I'm not an expert, but if they sell their dialog as complying to the GDPR and you buy it and get fined, you can probably sue them for fraud. Unless, of course, they have some weasel note in the terms, which is far easier to do in the B

I actually implemented one of those. It's not as bad as the Google one, but still asymmetrical (accept is just a large button and reject is small, non-highlighted text next to it). The customer in this case was rather non-technical and

You actually can't mix hardware tokens and OTP apps. You're only option is to scan the code twice and skip hardware tokens entirely (which is quite reasonable, as the recovery for an app would be easier than for a failed/lost

I agree. You can say a lot of bad things about Google, but they definitely have some of the smartest and highest paid engineers working on their search. Plus there are already a lot of people trying to compete with Google and so far, no one

Well, if we go down that route, you could just as well dump a few passengers down there. But I guess that wasn't the spirit of the above question :) Allthough the motivation for overfilling a plane waste tank seems dubious overall, so

It seems very likely to me that they carry more than 1L of fluid per passenger, plus there's also the crew. So yes, they could :) Of course, if they dump all their drinking water, it'll be hard to reach the maximum pee capacity pe

> Does a small plane pilot have any reason to open the door other than anticipating a jump? Additional ventilation, especially in older planes (according to comments on the original article). So that's not a dead giveaway.
