I have no idea why you'd been downvoted. Everything you said is common sense. I guess this is a case of "it's hard to get a man to understand something if his paycheck depends upon him not understanding it."

Right. It's the same debate about how long authorization cookies or tokens should last. At one point in time--only one--authentication was performed in a provable enough manner that the certificate was issued. After that--it could be s

For mobile, it might help if the developer had a clearly-indicated long-press circle somewhere near the block.

Hardly a rant. You're just describing the "move fast and break things" ethic (or should I say unethic ). Or said another way: "all of the convenience with none of the responsibility."

Lots of people of a certain ideological persuasion view it as their religious mission to invade spaces--all spaces--and force their ideological perspectives on everyone. To be sure, they're a very, very vocal minority, but you know wha

As someone with a Filipina wife and who's traveled many times to the Philippines, your characterization is exactly correct. Facebook is the option, not just one option. Interesting side fact: The Philippines is #1 in social media usa

They are being exploited. I've traveled to Cebu City where many of these call centers are located. My wife is from the area. To Filipinos, it's a good job, but the quality of life for these workers is still very poor. It's no

Agreed. We (meaning the United States) used to have this for the most part. It doesn't scale to mediate all human interactions with authentication/authorization.

Exactly! Biometrics have never been less secure than they are now. It's approaching Social Security number levels of insecure. LOL

This is the advice I give to everyone who comes to me for digital security advice. I let them know that building habits of using lengthy PINs (my own personal PIN is far more than four or six digits) takes some time to get used to but makes

To know "how far," you'd have to know the exact location of your destination. We don't know that; therefore, your question is not possible to answer.

I, for one, love my low-density agriculturally-rooted Massachusetts town founded in the eighteenth century. Not everyone likes what you like.

Oftentimes, the homeless themselves don't want to be fed or housed. In fact, they--especially the ones with mental health and/or addiction problems--often destroy public housing. Reality does not match the propaganda that all home

The high-trust Boomer brain cannot comprehend the actual low-trust society of grifters in which we live.

In high-trust societies these things work, yes. Not all societies are high-trust. Often, they once were high-trust but are no longer thanks to sociopathic, non-empathetic actors.

No, it's not 100% anything. The content you're looking at is what you see.

I've been calling it "the last great bubble" whenever discussing it with my family and friends. This is Peak Grift.

My wife is Filipina. In the Philippines, there are specialists all over the place that keep things running long after they have any right to. That could be ancient computer parts, motorcycle engines, tires... If you can imagine it, they can

The problem is, it's never not been this way. That's why it's called an "upgrade treadmill." The treadmill never stops accelerating no matter how many times we redouble our efforts to catch up. New devices with hi

Your last paragraph reminds me of modern dating and relationship-building: people demanding everything from everyone else but nothing of themselves. Wanting it all and giving nothing. I guess we can chalk this up to living in a failed world
