This is correct, which is why I am a big fan of FIDO U2F software like https://Krypt.co . This requires your phone which is essentially a second workstation to authenticate. So now you need to exploit two workstations.

Alternatively, you can just repeal the second amendment. I’m unsure why anti-gun advocates don’t just argue this. The constitution can be changed. Justice Stevens argued this in an op-ed: https://www.google.com/amp/s&#x

This is a horse that has been beaten to death. It’s well established what militia means. Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard

If you’re trying to solve malware at the DNS level, you’ve already lost. In this particular case, it’s far more likely that keeping the state out of DNS management is a good idea. A stronger argument is trademark infringement and consumer p

This is correct, however in theory the NSA is not allowed to spy (let's not argue about "wittingly" here, I get it) on American citizens without FISA or 702 approval: https://www.newamerica.org/oti/blog&#

I understand that the astronomers are disappointed, but isn’t that because the period we are in right now is immediately before it becomes 10x cheaper to launch telescopes into space? Won’t it be so much better to observe directly from spac

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you that management doesn’t understand what security means. Shocked. The military and cyber security just don’t mix. It’s simply too complicated. The military is a blunt tool. Security is nuanced. It’s going to g

Cellphones unfortunately are not compatible with privacy. A laptop connected to the internet via WiFi is the only secure mobile option. Even with an open source GSM FPGA, you would be limited to 2G, and you probably want 4G. The option just

I think the issue here is that culture should on some level be free. This is why libraries are free. Personally, I want to financially support media creators, but every time I get a forced prereel commercial, or Hulu inserts ads in a servic

Cardano, although still not ready for primetime, seems like a likely candidate. EDIT : I do work for IOHK and I am biased.

PoW is arguably ecologically irresponsible, but PoS consensus should fix that issue. Have you read the ouroboros papers? https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/378.pdf
