Why is that hard to believe? If you only have a few shows that you want to watch, and each is on a different streaming service, is it unreasonable to balk at having to pay for several different services (each at over $10 a month) just for a

LastPass only collects data on how you use the product and how well the product works. It doesn't collect info about your sites or browsing activity.

The vast majority of people don't have the same threat model, and unfortunately just want the product to work, or they won't use it at all. If you can't provide relevant information for the current website, you just won'

Password managers don't hold your password in plaintext, so the liability there only exists if you don't think the latest encryption methods are enough.

It's disingenuous to imply that most extensions are just replacing "cloud" with "butt". There are plenty of browser extensions that are necessary and vital for millions of people. I agree that extensions do need to

It also works well for normal useful extensions. We can figure out ways to eliminate stealthy malicious extensions without removing the most useful feature of extensions.

It allows for more questions for the team leads and ad-hoc pair programming, which likely cuts the productivity of the team lead (or more knowledgable workers) while benefitting the members on the team with less experience.

In my experience, open offices help out the team's productivity and rapport, at the expense of personal productivity. I get the desire to have one's own semi-private space to focus on their work and not be bothered. But if you

Where would manufacturers store and display these timestamps? Would each manufacturer host their own proofs, or share a database together? Who would pay for that, indefinitely? The economic reality is that no one would ever pay the costs fo

Temporal order is absolutely critical in determining the truth of an event, as deepfakes could be used after the fact to distort the facts and mislead a viewer. Blockchain allows for the use of public key cryptography with a guarantee of th

LastPass recently made a change to how they save generated passwords, it'll prompt you right after filling it instead of waiting for the login to succeed.

The case against Clinton was flimsy and grasping at straws, whereas the case against Trump looks to be incredibly damning. I think that'll make a difference this time, though party lines have become even more ingrained...
