Signing everything is not terrible advice. But here the problem Fred is trying to solve is very simple. He is an investor in mirror.xyz and needs to make his money back. This is the only reason someone interested in signing something would

Normally iirc oauth will just transport the token in a browser redirect to the allowed domain that linked to the login page. evil.com will not be allowed, or if it is the token will end up scoped to evil.com.

I thought this at first but now I’m not sure. My understanding is they have gotten rid of ~70% of the workers (7500 down to 2700 [1]). Speaking generally, IMO 20% would have perhaps been a fitting haircut after a couple years of excessive

Jesus, this is exactly what happened. I swear I clicked the headline, but somehow ended up on a tab about “Coinlist halting withdrawals”, not “Coinbase having withdrawals”. No wonder I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Well. looks at t

Yes, correct analysis. Again, my point is that regardless of whether either of these things is a “good idea” or “bad idea”, it is not fair to call exchange insolvency a good thing; *one* reason here being that the second “thing” “has to e

Agreed. Unfortunately many parts of the world call this “money laundering” and impose stiff penalties.

See my replies below. You could 100% use Coinbase and plan to use an offline wallet the exact way you have prescribed, and still lose everything due to exchange insolvency. To save time on replies: “you’d have to be unlucky for that to happ

I 100% agree with you that this is what OP intended. My point is it’s a base trivialization of the facts, and regardless of whether you use your own wallet or not exchange insolvency is a viable risk to users of the ecosystem. There is noth

Correct answer here (no /s). Now unless youre a bitcoin maxi (props if you are), your coins are probably being fixed all the time by “authorities”, but I digress :) The problem is of course most people do forget things, and regrettably

Correct. Anytime an exchange becomes insolvent, some number of people end up losing everything - just by trying to onboard their money into the system (even if they plant to move it to hardware wallet ASAP). By your own admission, there is

Send what from where? Consider: You had to send fiat to an exchange to buy the coin. Unfortunately before you have a chance to spend it, the exchange halts all withdrawals. How did your hardware wallet help you here?

This argument (editing for clarity: “the argument that exchange insolvency is somehow good , because people will finally learn ”), as good as it makes you feel to type, always ends the same way. These two questions are illuminating: 1. Ho

Can you expand on this claim a little? Why does eye contact make a huge difference in a VR office suite software?

This is better. I always equated web 1.0 with “before web 2.0”, I did not know of Berner-lee’s description. There were lots of dynamic server apps between 1.0 and 2.0. For SSO, the link does a good job presenting various pros and cons. I do

Almost stopped reading after web 1.0 was explained as “readonly”. Eventually got to this: > People who think a single-sign on is somehow a good thing. I would love to see this expanded on… I stopped reading after that.

No one is asking for “perfect security”. We all agree with you, that is impossible. What many security professionals want from this product is a stable network transport tunnel with well-defined attack surface. We understand defense in dept

Saw that when it came out, yikes, but here it makes my point for me. The zerotier software failed - as such you could (in the simplest terms) bypass the transport “firewall”. At no point could you execute code on my machines. At no point co

Yep. Same boat. Absolutely zero interest in granting them ssh authZ; transport wrapping is all I want to outsource. Just deliver my bits and I pay you, tyvm. My suspicions have been proven correct here. Unfortunately reading about this remo

Yep. Although I don’t understand why anyone thought that would amount to anything WRT Twitter itself. I honestly laughed when I read this take a few weeks back: https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/15861665355925094

Probably flight crew resourcing issues. Incredibly common on all airlines lately unfortunately, this year I’ve had it happen on American (twice!) and United, but surprisingly not Frontier yet. United at least let me know before I went to

Personally I’ve always seen them allow you to get up and relocate as soon as cabin doors closes. But yea, you didn’t pay for a seat assignment so you might get stuck where-ever. They’re pretty clear about this… Flown Frontier many dozens of

This comment thread = hn insanity. Putting aside your misplaced outrage here, I recommend actually reading the article. Granted it’s incredibly winding and full of the buzzword “zero trust”, but they explicitly mention adding support for p
