   I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by.

   Uh, does it run, like, on regular unleaded gasoline? Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick. Plutonium.

   If you don't care about privacy at all, why would you be interested in a Yubikey? Also, not everyone has or wants to have a mobile phone.

   Yubikey is very useful as a 2FA authenticator. I wouldn't use it for SSH and GPG. I wish there were more websites that supported U2F out of the box, or supported using Yubikey as an authenticator without first adding a mobile phone num

    I don't think it's an issue, but it'll be harder for your tool to be at the top of search engine results, so some rebranding might be beneficial for your visibility.

    I think these kinds of antagonisms are central to American society. Other parts of the world often find them alien and incomprehensible.

    Javascript is a very handy language, it's held back by all the gymnastics it needs to do to get over browser/www limitations, and an influx of low skill developers with no diploma.

    That's okay, but it's not enough - it's easy to swap two letters and do similar substitutions to fool many users. If a package is downloaded 10,000 times every day, surely once in a while someone will misspell the name someho

    NPM is extremely vulnerable to typosquatting. Be cautious with what you install. The install scripts can execute arbitrary code. NPM's team response is that they hope that malicious actor won't exploit this behaviour. According to

    The last time I tried to make a throwaway account for an android VM, Google blocked it in minutes (for "suspicious activity") and demanded a phone number to unlock it.

    There are drug dealers living in New York City, does that mean that everyone else should move out? It's just a tld, there's a million of those. If somebody likes it, why shouldn't they use it? The .cx domain was ruined by one

    Intel PR monkeys are trying to take AMD down with them, let's make this clear: For the 3 bugs, the biggest one only affect Intel CPUs, for bug 2 and 3: AMD bug only affects THE SAME PROCESS, unlike Intel, which allows exploits to cross

    At some point the bot presents a false scientism-based dichotomy that boils down to: either you have evidence for something, or it's not true. This conjecture grounded in empiricism is self-refuting, as you by definition cannot have ev

    Terry A. Davis of TempleOS fame has been dong something similar: awake for 32 hours, then sleep 16 hours. Judge the effects on his sanity yourself.
