   I had a similar concern when I used a random app for TOTP on my garmin watch, but was relieved when I considered the point I raised. To add codes to the watch you have to paste a seed into an app, and it couldn't be triggered from a QR

   TOTP seeds are only useful if you have the account they are associated with. How would the 2fa app by some random guy discern the identity associated with the seed?

   Your privacy policy mentions that you "encrypt passwords"—is there a reason you encrypt them instead of hashing them?

   How is this not directly tied to interstate commerce (and copyright law) and thus under Congress' enumerated powers?

   While there have been numerous calls for this to happen over the years ([1] for instance), I could not find evidence that it was implemented. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20180528202625/https://www.ind

    I hadn't realized they've removed apps in the past like that. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2010/06/exercising...

    It sounds like they are going after Google for _not disabling an app that already existed on users' phones_. That sounds like a horrifying precedent to set.

    In absolute terms, I agree with you. But in practical terms I would wager it is negligible.

    How far away from IPO are Apple and Microsoft now? I think parent is lamenting the state of IPOs as cashing out, if anything.

    Plus there are open source projects like Atlantis that fit the bill for many teams with regards to terraform automation.

    When my brother was getting married, the priest looked over the audience and singled me out, asking, "Do you love your watch?" I said no—it's a good watch but I don't _love_ it. He moved on to ask others about some objec

    €480 in 2005 is €738 today from inflation alone. The prices are almost on par with 2005 accounting for inflation.

    This _does_ seem to "install" things to a DOTSLASH_CACHE dir though.[1] It seems similar to tools like nvm of pyenv but in this case can handle more than just a single target language. Pretty neat. [1] https://dotslash

    Does any law or executive order say "unless invalidated by a court"? Isn't that kind of a given?

    I took it to mean that agencies no longer have the final say in interpretations of law when it comes to exercising executive power. So for instance if ATF says a banana is a machine gun and the president says "yes", then barring a

    This captures a form of existential dread I am sure all of us have felt. On the one hand, you have an ostensibly "good" job with great pay, benefits, etc. On the other hand, you have to _get punched in the stomach_ each day. All w

    This doesn't make much sense to me. Why would someone want to pay each and every open source project to see the SBoM when they could pay a single provider or use an open source tool to get that info for all of their dependencies?

    I was under the impression that reddit was charging for its API following the whole third-party client debacle that occurred some time ago—I didn't think you were using the API to power a free service if that was the case.

    How many users know how to "open a port"? UPnP exists because people don't want to deal with these things.
