He says he noticed while watching Vasilevskiy that after having dropped he did not immediately spring back up as his team carried the puck out, but eventually did before the other team regained control -- "but he didn’t really need to&

Good idea. Unfortunately any 2FA using a phone number (SMS or phone call) is highly insecure -- see Jack Dorsey having his Twitter hijacked, or any number of people having bitcoins stolen from Coinbase. That implementation should be marked

The connection between the subject of the story and the publisher of the story really ought to have been higher. However, news is currently breaking that Ito has since resigned from The NY Times Co. board as well.

Thanks for the kind words. The ability to improve people's daily lives, as you described, was a big reason a lot of us chose to work there and something we were hoping to see at a larger scale eventually. Today's news came as a sh

Good point, although the report states 3 billion user accounts were breached but this doesn't mean 3 billion people. I am guessing the vast majority of accounts did not contain any sensitive information. And maybe insurance isn't

This could be a voluntary insurance that companies purchase on behalf of their users. If the company suffers a breach, they will be bound to pay X amount to their users depending on the data lost. Dress it up with a fancy badge to slap on t
