Thank you for indulging my curiosity!

Out of curiosity, what would happen to you if you were swimming in the water nearby and a transmission cable was exposed to seawater? What path would the electricity take in the vastness of open sea?

Also an administration that has been wiretapped (maybe illegally? Let’s see what Durham finds), leaked against, and the recipient of other unprecedented behavior (such as anonymous Nytimes op-eds). Does everybody here know the #2 at the FBI

You threaten that and they say “go pound sand in the courts”. And even if you “win” in the courts you still lose because “the process is the punishment”.

I think they do backup if you do an offline (e.g. iTunes) full backup and restore on the same device , which of course is never what people do.

The joke is a thief will get ahold a live person and still be easily able to social engineer account access, despite best efforts to lock it down with technology.

I’m extremely skeptical about ANYTHING put out by this group, and Jim Baker in particular. This guy was general counsel for the FBI at the same time they were abusing FISA warrants to secretly spy on Trump admins. You think they’ll stop a

I’ve mostly disabled 2fa via phone where alternatives exist. Unfortunately some services (such as twitter) require you to verify a number (you can sign up, but you’ll quickly be account-locked without providing a number) I’m still wondering

That 100-mile border thing really bothers me, since it includes basically every major city in the US. Does anyone know if there's been any legal challenges to this ruling in court? And now an annoying aside. I really wish the ACLU was

The key to these types of solutions is always to follow the 80/20 rule. For example, it’s foolish to say and attempt “I will automate all of your data entry people” because there will always be weird idiosyncrasies that are better fit

I sincerely hope I never hear the phrase "Russian dossier" again in my lifetime. The CIA seems to follow every place this phrase shows up.

Thankfully the war in Iraq was the last time our intelligence agencies mislead the public.

The 0 and O are fairly ambiguous in that example. I pretty much require strikes or dots in the 0 for any font to be considered unambiguous.

I read back some of your history. I hope the dark clouds break in your life and you get some much needed warm rays of hope. It’s sad what happens to people in this country stuck in the kafkaesque twilight of our medical system. And then to

Fortunately there's great study and statistics so we don't need to rely on conventional wisdom: > Married couples have on average sex 5 times a month[1] Under 30 it's even higher, over 8 times a month. Honestly consider yo

Blaming this on budget cuts is absurd. There didn't even use to be something such as an "STD clinic", let alone easy access. In many states STD testing is totally free and anonymous. How long has that been around? Besides, ha

This study is funny to me because there's such obvious answers to the trends: Having less sex: more and more people are putting off marriage. I'm sure happily married couples are leaving even their most promiscuous peers in the du

For those that think Apple can't pull this off, remember that they dominate the developer laptop market. They just need to incrementally slip it in via software and hardware. For example I recently found myself doing some video encodin

Why not? You just bought a car and paid by sending $XX to $COMPANY. But why are they still waiting for it to settle? OOPS! They were hacked and you actually ended up sending that to North Korea. You think they're going to still give yo

They should do exactly what’s been done in Mac/bsd variants and make both of them the same CSPRNG via fortuna[1]. Then the only thing the system ever need to worry about is getting a few bytes of random data seeded and you can read s

I think the likelihood of being hacked is far greater than the likelihood of being skimmed.

For all of the praise of diversity, all I see is a monoculture in Silicon Valley.
