This is actually the reason I switched back to Android for my primary phone -- complete lack of auth token support via USB or NFC.

I only do TOTP on my phone. The Yubi Authenticator app is a drop-in replacement for Google Authenticator, but it adds significant security because the keys are stored offline in the yubikey and the crypto is done in the fob. Your phone is

I don't think that the people complaining about the price of this key appreciate all that it can do. Most of those people would probably be better off with the cheaper FIDO U2F Security Key. I haven't found anything else that man

The US Market 1981 to present is something of an anomaly that isn't likely to repeat. The same goes for the post WWII era. I'm not saying going long everything is a bad strategy necessarily, but like all investments, it's n

The criticism here is silly. There's a big difference between timing the market and looking at p/e ratios or debt load for stocks (or entire indexes) and deciding that they are way over valued. If you also think bond interest rate

The quality of education varies between institutions. I graduated from DeVry a little over 10 years ago. I got a decent education (ABET accredited B.S. Computer Engineering Technology) and was able to put myself through school and get a g

It's really not all as bad as you perceive. This is more a problem with the mental state of the people in that line. The misery (if you see it as such) of vacation photos predates social media. You can go through some old family pho

I don't really 'trust' either company, but the fact that I'm in so deep with Google already makes me less hesitant to add this one thing. Google already knows me. I've basically slept with Google, so seeing me nake

I'm a big fan of hp calculators and use an emulated HP-48 most of the time.

The main point to take away from this is that very few things can be said to be all bad or all good in chemistry. The dose makes the poison.

I've been running PFSense on an old Acer Aspire (now called veriton) and it's worked decently well for home use (100 Mbit downstream internet). It's only real downside was a single gigabit NIC, so I had to use VLANs and a ro

I think (outside of the other effects mentioned related to being health conscious) that protein restriction has something to do with it. Autophagy may be an important cellular cleanup process that never happens with three square meals a day

Also, it appears someone finally got a hold of a Truecrypt dev. The project was just shut down from lack of interest. No drama about auditing or, crazy NSA conspiracies after all: https://twitter.com/stevebarnhart/st

It's difficult for me to empathize with publishers in the same way that the author has done. Wasn't this entire situation created by book publisher's love for walled gardens and DRM? Concentrated power seems to me to be the

I agree completely that corn subsidies are out of control, but it's not clear that getting rid of corn would solve the health problem. It would likely be replaced with 'high fructose' <some other starch>. Fructose has

Wow. I think you severely miss-read my comment as some formal argument and you are holding it to a much higher standard than your own comment. Your first paragraph is an ad hominem attack that is subsequently withdrawn adding nothing to the

I don't understand the mechanism here. I thought sucrase, the enzyme that breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into 1 fructose and 1 glucose (same as HFCS), acted almost immediately -- at least on the timescale of nutrient absorption. I

I wanted to Cancel Netflix for using SilverLight, but I was too busy canceling Time Warner and AT&T for being evil overpriced monopolies. Now that Netflix has gone to HTML5 things are better. I'm renting the content so I don'

I suspect Snowden has the data encrypted meaning that copies are not of much use anyone without the key. If you are suggesting that Snowden gave up the encryption keys to Russia or China, that is a very serious accusation without any proof

There is quite a big difference between what a spy agency might have access to and what it releases in an AP article. The latter is motivated by self preservation. Truth, when it happens, is a coincidence.

I've only been registered for about 15 min, but so far it's good. It's very basic with a decent layout, but it's really fast. That might just be because no one is on yet, but the UI seems faster than reader. I also agr

Yet another example where perverse incentives lead to unintended effects. The problem with Obamacare is that it doesn't address the primary problem: health insurance is tied to employment. Until we get past that we are going to have a

I really don't see where all of the Linode hate comes from. That last hack was a pretty messy situation the way that I read it, but they seemed to do what was best for their customers when the shtf. I've also had very few network outages o

I don't know that this is as cast iron as you think. It really depends on what the market does, but I would rather have a large lump sum in a diversified investment than a fixed monthly income. Generally investments return at higher rates

I'm actually getting a bit tired of having to evangelize google reader and RSS in general. I personally don't believe that this is the end of the world, and I believe that the most harm was actually done by Google when they neglected reade

I really miss the social aspect of Google reader before they axed it back in 2011. It's not really social in the traditional sense, it's social in the sense that I could outsource the job of scouring feeds on various topics to other people
