I have a Yubico FIDO U2F. It works with tons of sites and services but I usually opt to using 2FA one-time codes since it's quicker (I can pull up the Authy client on my desktop or phone). My key doesn't always work in every compu

The issue with deer is that there are too few natural predators for them in many places on the east coast. The booming population has detrimental effects on the forests. Deer consume only certain plants so they end up causing lower diversit

Sounds more like there is more demand of rides than there are drivers. Whether that's from less people driving or more people riding is the question. Maybe Lyft is starting to become more popular. In my area, Lyft wasn't popular a

Exactly, car engine rebuilds are for hobbyists and mechanics working on very expensive or rare engines. But you are more likely to find a diesel mechanic rebuilding a 18-wheeler's engine.

In the real world, the guy discovering the cure for cancer received grants from universities, research institutes, and corporations. Whoever bankrolled the research, those groups own the cure and then can do what they please with it (manufa

No university will subscribe to everything so there are plenty of academics that may require journal articles that they either aren't subscribed to or can't get on loan form another university. Unless the school has given you a bu

Probably more along the lines of a ship requires X number of crew working 24 hours a day to run properly and the ship can only hold a crew of less than 3X (8 hours shifts, 7 days a week). It's not going to be a simple 9-5 job for every

Prisoners already have communication mediums that guards can monitor and if they want to talk to someone with no prying ears or eyes, they can talk to a lawyer. Prisoners should have no need for cell phones or access to unrestricted communi

UPS drivers don't start out as drivers. You have to work your way up from package handling to get to that point. $25/hr isn't reasonable for any entry level job with no college degree requirement. Even a skilled trade like an

In this case what should ad networks like Google do to make sure they are running ads for legit businesses? In your gun store example, the seller is relying on the government to provide any information that would disqualify a sale. Rarely i

The military has been buying 360 controllers to do a bunch of different things and I'm sure MS has been providing them on contract and will continue to provide them because it's easy money.

It would be easier to have a central device that could listen for any bluetooth signals that linger around the gas station all day long. Most people are gone within 5-10mins so it should be pretty obvious when there is a bluetooth device th

The people installing these skimmers aren't the ones writing firmware for them. They have been mass produced in China and sold around the world. There might be a v2 in the works that works better or is more difficult to detect but peop

It was more like the market tastes changed to products that Wham-O wasn't interested in making (video game consoles, electronics, etc). You can only make fad toys for so long until you run out of ideas.

But 18 months ago, Windows phone was sitting at a low single digit market share in the US. I can't see anyone with more than half a brain deciding to purchase a Windows phone over an iPhone for enterprise unless the only determining fa

Three systems might not fit into your design or be too expensive for what the project is. How do you combine the votes? The chip that is doing that work needs to be absolutely immune from any bit-flips otherwise the voting is worthless... T

Yes, a totally non-working fake isn't the most common thing to occur. Unless they got the counterfeits for free, the vendor is losing money on replacing the fakes with real ones. They are assuming everyone will either never use the chi

The Pentagon isn't buying chips. The defense contractor working for the Pentagon is buying the chips and either testing in-house or subcontracting that out. Almost everything is going to be legit stuff. Fakes are only really going to s

An FPGA running a soft core was out of the question? There are plenty of rad-hard FPGAs out there. Combine it with some rad-hard flash or eeprom and you've got what's flying in a lot of satellites these days.

Why not just monitor the actual beeper's voltage and alert when its going off? It seem's a lot more difficult to analyze audio and listen for specific sounds and patterns than it is to just trigger an interrupt when a beeper turns
