I work as a consultant and spend five out of eight hours a day in Excel, and I want the features in this app so bad. Sadly, the only way I’ll be able to use these features is if Microsoft bought them out and integrated them into Excel. It’s

Take any ‘motherlode discovery’ announcements with a grain of salt - whether it’s gold, rare earth or diamonds. They’re almost certainly exaggerated, and are often announced to satisfy investors with a healthy - temporary - uptick in stock

The app is ‘something you have’, which you can only use after you authenticate into your phone with ‘something you are’ (biometrics), or ‘something you know’ (a PIN/passphrase). I’m fairly sure the app does require you to enter a passw

I like that each tweet/paragraph can have its own commentary. Provided it isn’t anything political or bait-ey, the discussion following each tweet can be insightful, and are more contained and targeted than those usually found at the e

I don’t have the same problem with long threat tweets, and in many cases prefer them over blogs as they’re forced to include only the most salient points.

A few years ago there was an amazing site with graphs laid out like yours, with historical data for any location. Sadly it was flash based, and the author decided not to port it across to some other framework. I really miss easy to use grap

Isn’t this just a phishing attack? Almost any MFA service is vulnerable to this, but it’s not at all insurmountable if the user is sufficiently trained during the onboarding process. They even have an app which can leverage to help train us

I agree. Sure it’s fun, but some people will either be turned off by it as it brings up negative connotations, and it can impact word of mouth effects if people don’t want to recommend something that the other party might think sounds juven

People were gainfully employed during that period, and are receiving generous severance by any measure. The alternative is that those people aren’t employed at all, or working in another job that might be just as risky. Crypto has a lot t

I’m liking this dam analogy thread. If rain and rivers create more volume, would printing money be like placing large boulders to raise the dam level, without creating more actual value?

your first paragraph is just a reflection of the way the world works. You can take sides - most people do - or not. Either way the ethics are steeped in a complex of nationalism, ideology, media, state control, and everything in between. Yo

I’m still in awe that windows has had similar functionality available at a single press of the windows key, but you still can’t do basic arithmetic on it.
