I don't think you realize how easy it is to setup a new website. The apple store doesn't have a lot of friction to sign up as a developer and get an app approved, but it has some. Websites are far far easier / quicker etc, an

That's not how this works on apple. Basically your fingerprint scan is not sent to the browser, just the authenticated result of the scan (ie, yes, the fingerprint was so and so's). There have been some past complaints here about

Every time I read these comments I realize that apple is going to dominate again. A PWA is not vetted! If you complain about a PWA apple cannot take it down! In your PWA / QR code utopia, after someone sticks a few bogus QR codes on pa

If you look at germanies target 2 balances (almost certain to become a bsilout of the weaker members in EU) it's hard to believe this. They are now in the hundreds of billions range. These are amounts that supposedly are just a 't

Winamp was incredible - it even had a plugin for syncronized playback that I couldn't replicate easily. You could get 5 friends to all play at the same time - so fun. Then BOOM - ads everywhere, bundled installers, crazy redesign. I di

They actually don't have to take a personal day - they get a day off work paid by facebook as a regular day. They can go on strike from home, set their auto-reply, and not even have to use vacation time.

Do you deal with fraud issues. My guess is not. "The fraudsters may adapt" is a complaint with almost all fraud fighting approaches - and yet many even older methods STILL have value even if fraudsters could work around them. Many

I agree - and I think you're seeing new products in the lidar space with a focus on cost constraint (with more limited resolutions). I really do hope tesla adopts at least 1 or 2 of these cheaper options when they get cheap enough, my

Let's be serious for a moment. A computer that is hacked and running remote access programs poses a MUCH higher risk of account hi-jacking for ebay and paypal purposes than another computer. Feed that into a system that monitors lots o

The idea that wealth won't buy other methods of access, now with no embarrassingly low test score - is hard to beleive. The rich private school WILL give donor kids X all A's. At least in the past the SAT score filtered out the s

The most direct way to get admitted to an elite university is to have your parents be a major donor. This is not a secret, but explicit. In the past it HAS been embarrassing if that admit came with a low or super low test score. So no quest

False by the way - Finland uses SAT a fair bit (often a minimum SAT is needed to even apply, ie, 500/500) if you didn't sit their entrance exams. Spots are awarded very heavily based on points that anyone can calculate. "Admi

Haha.. I think you have this backwards! If you think money can buy a good SAT score - go make some. Reality? Much easier to pay for a trip to "volunteer" in africa or at the local hospital, get on sports teams etc etc. If you have

If you want to get paid a fair bit of money and are not some name brand genius (Steve jobs etc) I think you have to be someone folks are eager to work with, ask questions etc. I'm sure the psychologists would be able to expand on this.

"Stripe records cursor movement on customer websites as part of its fraud control efforts" - that's probably the real title. But obviously doesn't get the traffic.
