Asking authentication service to not use risk while using phishable authentication methods is essentially asking them to not bother with any protection from phishing and various password and 2nd factor theft. If you don't like risk-bas

HTTPS already provides the same protection. VPN doesn't add anything for that. About the only meaningful feature VPN provides is presenting a different IP address to the server. VPN provides negligible extra security for most people, w

By your word and the definition, saying true things is now lying. I don't agree with such a definition. And it's not just about what a word means either. Calling someone lying is essentially declaring you won't engage with t

By that definition, everything is a lie because you can not convey all relevant information ever. I.e. all information exchange is a partial information exchange. Intent-based analysis is not useful, because you can't know the intent a

The pure, utilitarian calculation is rather simple. Anytime you beef up the security policy, it tends to decrease the (permanent) hijacking and increases the lockout. From the point of view of original owners access (i.e. availability), the

Which Gould performance ? He himself changed quite a bit in his many Bach performances over time, so it's interesting to listen and contrast his earlier, younger performances with his later works. I find many of Bach's music simu

FINRA requires retail brokers to make a report on price improvements based on a retroactive analysis vs NBBO. So, yes, they do know what NBBO was, and whether they were truly price improvements or not, and that's being monitored and t

Jumping to a drastic policy position without understanding the basic trade off involved should not be a thing.

I think MV3 critics are mostly based on a loss aversion bias, rather than a rational opposition. If those people truly think it's absolutely essential for the extension system to have the pre-MV3 webrequest API, they should either stop

It imposes a significant cost and friction to their operation and proliferation of the access to what they have, even if they reorganize. So this is a very good action in my book.

There is no way to retain or control privacy when you send some information to another person regardless of the medium - email or paper or verbal even - you lose control no matter what, since the counter party can now share the same informa

The original title is misleading, as the paper doesn't answer "why". > The researchers then looked whether factors, such as the type of school and the size and gender make-up of classes, were driving the gender grade gap.

Can you describe your experiment in more detail? Even with more detail, this seems like too anecdotal and not controlled to draw meaningful broad conclusions that you seem to be drawing, but regardless sounds very interesting.

You misunderstood what I mean by "gap" here. The gap isn't that it is impossible to produce security/reliability equivalent program using C vs Rust, which you seem to be arguing. The gap is that statistically for many co

More electric cars with V2G could become an important tool for avoiding blackouts in the future. California has 17M cars. If 30% were electric with 10KWh charge usable for V2G, that's nearly 50GWh. That would be enough to let grid surv
