why doesn't Mint have is kind of valuation? I guess I don't understand how they differ, I do get that they both rely on giving your bank credentials to a third party and that they both scrape your financial history.

Bloomberg reporters clearly need retraining. As I've stated a few times regarding this story, "photo or it didn't happen". It's a pretty simple standard, maybe Bloomberg will think about applying it now. Or maybe so

+1 on this. My whole reason for using NC has been to remove anything like social features, and let me control sharing. Maybe all this will be optional, but the direction seems opposite to my needs. And the risks from 'extending' t

I'm a little lost on why the need a new root CA cert on a computer that already has a cert store. Can't they safely communicate with whatever.sennheiser.com using the existing certs? Afaict, this isn't a stand-alone device tr

Goo.gl was deprecated in March. Not that the world was wanting for yet another url-shortener.

Noooooo! I hope not anyway. They injected some time into in the last year or so. I'd be curious to know the number of users; it's still free to get a number afaict. It's probably their least profitable service, I suppose. May

I think all these visions for micro payments have been swamped by advertising as a source for revenue. I dislike that fact, but I don't think most people care. So micro payments are just a way to make less money than advertising-based

I'm not sure people need a lot of ways to exchange tiny amounts of money either, but the existing ones like Venmo work really well. Without a blockchain. And fast, too!

I will second the slack factor. Semi-synchronous communications are a trap for distributed workers. It makes it feel you are more accessible (actually true of course), but it drives the discourse to the trivial and makes raises decision thr

Curious how this will pan out. It's a shocking contrast to be in or near a city and have broadband speeds, and then be just a few dozen miles outside one and have... literally nothing. I just loaned my Iridium phone to a friend who was

Hmm. Maybe it's time to give SA a try again. I had very little luck in keeping SA performing well over time. It would go for a few months doing a decent job, then just seem to fall off the tracks for a new particular reign of spam, eve

How are these results more (or less) significant than the stellerator (Germany) achieved earlier this year? I thought the stellerator had already achieved 100M Kelvin?

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to start a nit-pick on whether or not all software contains bugs. My response was too glib. The GP asked: > If I have UPnP disabled, am I safe? The answer is yes: If you can disable UPnP, your router

I'll try a recommendation: https://www.flashrouters.com/linksys-wrt1200ac-ddwrt-router No need to install DD-WRT yourself, just pay a little extra and have it shipped to you pre-installed.

Ancient reply, but... Even if Firefox "encrypts" before syncing, they must decrypt in order to provide the clear text password from another browser, no? They don't send "blobs of bytes" to password form entries.

Another option is to buy a pre-configured router from someone like FlashRouters.com (not affiliated, but a customer). They provide routers with DD-WRT or Tomato pre-installed. Yes, you should probably know how to update your router at some

Vulnerable to this particular exploit? Your router is either vulnerable to this exploit, or it's not. Afaict from the article, the exploit relies on a UPnP-enabled router; if UPnP isn't enabled, I don't believe your router i

I was unaware that Firefox / Chrome can own all your passwords in their cloud.

I was just about to type the same response. I can also write down passwords (unencrypted) to sites that I use infrequently, and for which I have low security requirements. For many such sites, a password reset is reasonably implemented and

Doesn't WebAuthn require hardware? I can't find any user examples that don't mention a phone or yubikey or whatever.

Password manager? That's what I'm trying to eliminate because they are inconvenient. But I totally agree with your point about limiting special characters and length.

I just wish there were a more universal acceptance of entropy. I.e.: Use at least one upper case letter and symbol OR Use a password that is at least 20 characters long Passwords are fine, it's the differing standards that are nutty. E

Where does 2fa replace passwords? It's two FA after all. And I'd assert that password managers haven't exactly taken off; I'd be curious about their numbers, but the dozen or so people I know who use one are all softwa

I'm curious about this. As I mentioned in another comment, I think the concept of hierarchy is somewhat difficult to understand initially. But it is a key abstraction for almost everything having to do with computers, and especially pr
