They have offered this since 2017, in response to the Podesta email hack. It's free, but it's not the default, because traveling to a Google site is prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of their users. https://

My Google account is set up such that account recovery requires me to actually travel to Mountain View and present several forms of ID, and that's just how I want it to be.

If they're in your Google/iCloud, you're already in a game over scenario. The point of all this is to prevent that from happening. You can try to recover by revoking all your passkeys and starting over with hardware tokens, b

No one said that. At the time there was a massive gaping hole in the OS market begging to be filled. OS vendors were gouging everyone, and GNU/Hurd kept experiencing delays.

Ha, I started using Bitcoin in 2009. There was maybe a three month mania back in 2021 where everything was valued 3x higher than it should have been, and now we're back to the mean. The idea that a 60% dip from ATH is "obliteratio

I was thinking that one of the PoS papers might fit, but the Tendermint paper was 2014, and the Casper FFG paper was 2017. Do you think Groth16 counts? So named because it was written by Groth in 2016. Groth16 introduces the first really pr

It's a quote from the movie Hackers from 1995. The line is "Snoop on to them as they snoop on to us", which is actually the name of the article, and the talk, but for some reason the title on Hacker News got mangled. Not sure

That one looks like an actual blog post though, not just a blind link to a website that's trying to sell some random product which is completely unrelated to news or hacking. The link here is literally just a video advertising the pre-

People have been making a ton of noise and leaving the large predatory for-profit retail banks for years. There was a massive uptick in 2008, and again in 2011 with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Find a local credit union. They are better

You realize that if one password leaks, then the attacker learns the rule, and the rule can be used to get anything else? You haven't really made any improvements over standard shitty passwords. The passwords are different, but that do

First off, GPUs haven't been used for mining Bitcoin for about a decade. There has been a lot of work being done to crack brainwallets, also there are a number of leaked/hacked/shared wallets that people are working on cracki

By continuing to be a Chase customer, you are supporting their predatory stance, and signaling that it's okay for the rest of the industry to adopt the stance as well.

To debate a Nazi is to give them a platform, and thanks to the the joys of negativity bias, given equally talented speakers, hatred is about 4x more likely to to spread than positive messaging. Nazism is a brain parasite that feeds off supp

Yeah, I'm pretty novice, but I took that hourish long Andrew Ng class on LangChain, and they covered recursive summarization as a standard memory management technique. https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/lang

The Ministry for the Future is a very cathartic book along these lines. Basically, there is a weather event that causes mass fatalities, and then eco terrorism gets super trendy.

I noticed earlier today that thepiratebay.org seems to be down for the first time in a while. It's just a cloudflare error page at the moment. Really curious what's going on there.
