What is her pedigree? It says she has known an early investor VP partner since 19 — yet she took out student loans herself so wasn’t from a wealthy family? https://www.crainsnewyork.com/awards/40-under-40-2019-charli..

So don’t you have to secure this recovery phrase as well as the hardware wallet? So if someone doesn’t have my wallet but has my recovery phrase they can regenerate my keys and brick my hardware wallet as it sits in my home safe??

And it has a notes field. Has it always had that and I just never clicked through somehow! I’m a little unclear on what is authentication here. You need iCloud password — if I lose my phone will I need my old PIN as well? I remember going t

Haha, wasn’t trying to do that at all. More just “does knowing that X person uses a particular password manager make them more vulnerable”. I’m not in cybersecurity and I know they discourage security by Obfuscation so perhaps not sharing p

So all these people are posting with likely their normal accounts and announcing their security posture to the world… feels insecure ironically. I miss having a solution that was locally synced across multi platform.

I would love to use iCloud Keychain, but it doesn’t have extra fields, support OTP, or even really have a proper GUI. Rumor was Apple uses 1pass internally???

For a while I used an encrypted excel spreadsheet (AES-256 but no idea about other tuning) and stored in OneDrive. Could open just about anywhere since Office is everywhere and OneDrive pretty ubiquitous (I’m guessing no Linux though except

Decentralized crypto fails more quietly and spread out overt time as people are hacked or simply forget and lose their private keys. Being your own digital bank is high risk, and most people barely can keep their email secure. I can’t belie

Sure use outlook.com or iCloud.com with own domain. I found gmail the best for my huge storage needs of mail, and takeout makes backups so much easier (iCloud is nearly impossible, Outlook seems okay but not as smooth).

I thought companies had to provide 60 days warning (the WARNS act?), so half would be the minimum required by law. Or they could notify people of layoffs 60 days ahead, giving people ample time to look for new jobs, plan accordingly, perha

Oh yeah sprawl is induced. If you only have to drive 2x week — you may tolerate a 50 mile commute vs before you aimed for 10 mi. In that scenario no reduction in miles driven (maybe even more if you run errands during telework days) and gre

Anecdotally I see many people traveling more enabled by remote work (and a single flight can equal a full year of car commuting). And I feel many people use telework days to run errands or go to lunch more frequently often nearly matching

Don’t VC always say they invest in the founder not the company? It’s all about how that person makes them feel. Some argue that is why there is less diversity in VC funded companies.

So you don’t have any Linux or Windows machines? We run off icloud calendar and use iCloud custom domains so this is great. The iCloud sync is a travesty.
