The GP is talking about SMS for 2fa. Much better to use an app like Google Authenticator or a secure token which doesn't rely on 3rd parties (mobile phone companies) being secure. We all agree that 2fa is good, that is a moot point.

Yeah, realistic guns and sights were only introduced to FPS several years later. Those were a major draw of Counter Strike. You'll find the same in Quake, Quake 2, Doom, etc

Most likely the management would prefer the hosts didn't hurt themselves, so took the hint from the insurance company when a show plan got too dangerous.

Perhaps because there are sources posting on Twitter? Reporters often rely on tips. It's like going fishing. If the oceans were full of fish and you wanted fish - surely spending time fishing would make sense?

Judging by the other comments, it is creative to break the rules.

It's probably because software contracting by the government is tidier in Mexico. Also, the US tax system is partially the result of lobbying by parties such as TurboTax [1]. I'm glad I live in NZ, another smaller country with gre

Indoctrination is a powerful thing. Perhaps they even believed or wanted to believe themselves. It takes real effort to push back against the disinformation of the day.

Personally, I wasn't even aware this tech was possible. It sounds like an awesome way to electrify over-water travel without the drag / instability of pushing through the ocean. I also harbor such hopes. Seaplanes are wonderfully

Careful. Remember the best gig for scientific funding in the past was to sign up with the church. It's like posting a wiki entry of those who have tenure at major universities and claiming it's because those people believe in univ

Hard to say. It appears to have eradicated all evidence. That's why we study the microwave background so much.

It seems a huge pity to drop an interesting question during your life because "Oh well, God will clear that up for me after I die."

As a semi-christian, I agree. I think that evolution is the sort of beautiful self-correcting system that God would want to put in place.

Scientific inquiry requires objective proof OF EXISTANCE. We know that humans can be deceived, both by themselves and others. You might be asking for scientific proof of non-existance, but that cannot be provided for pretty much anything. F

Personally I'd suggest they uninstall their top apps by interruption. Aggressively turn off notifications. I agree addiction is hard.

The usual justification for professional IEM is hearing protection. It's often loud on stage. There is a danger with headphones that you will turn them up too loud (esp. in a loud environment) so you can hear the signal clearly. As a m

I meant study the domain hard. Know how to solve all the solvable problems related to the question at hand.

It's likely the same power fault could occur in a single train in other circumstances. When an electric train cannot access the grid reliably it would become far more dangerous - no more regenerating brakes, no reliable acceleration ..

Here is a theoretical solution: Lets say there is a north-south train line that is shared. The schedule can create a number of north slots and south slots into which a train of a given speed and length can fit. A variety of different trains

Man, now I want to test myself against your road logic code. Sounds like a worthy challenge. Always tricky though when the hacks have both undefined features AND bugs.

tl;dr : Restarting train schedule mid-day is too hard and unsafe. So we're sending them back to depot instead.

To be fair, I think Feynman applies this in sequence. I.e Study hard, Teach it to others, Identify the gaps in your own knowledge, and Simplify/Synthesize. THEN 1. Write down the problem. 2. Think real hard. 3. Write the solution. If a

I find the best method is: 1. Figure out what needs doing and what code you need to use 2. Refactor the code you're using until the new code or change is easy 3. Make the change 4. Tidy and document. Repeat I often also document during

I believe that all children are born with a burning passion for learning. Some then have it beaten out of them by a slow, routine, inhuman education system that crushes individual creativity. I try to make up for it with my own children by

Be Team C. Team C works like team A. However every time a feature ships, someone who knows that feature well immediately refactors the relevant code to remove the prototype scaffolding. When code becomes static, an expert adds good quality
