The article does a bad job explaining what exactly J&J is trying to do here and what exactly the appeals court won't let them do. J&J's plan was to split into two pieces, which I'll call Goodco and Badco. Goodco got t

He said there wasn't much value in the wallets. Doesn't strike me as crazy to keep a small amount in something convenient. You see a similar convenience/security trade off made by big players, with immediate transactional nee

Supply and demand is not driving the price of Harvard. As you point out, there are many more people willing to pay the current price than are admitted. This indicates that the market price is much higher than the current price. In other wor

In most implementations there's only a key or two on the device that you have to sync. The webauthn protocol requires a site that accepts it to store a small amount of arbitrary data for each registered device, which is then handed to

If a public company's auditors find irregularities they work with the company's management to resolve them. If, eventually, the auditors decide there are irreconcilable differences, they will resign, and provide reasons for their

That's not really how auditors work. Auditors either give the client a letter saying what the client wants it to say[0] or decline to provide the client with that letter. They do not go public with their reasons. [0] Companies want the

Not a professor, but my undergrad classes were generally graded as 10-15% homework and 85-90% exams. With grading like that cheating on the homework is basically pointless, so few did it.

Big customers don't pay list prices, they get negotiated rates. To the extent Azure and GCE are interested in competing on price, it's the big customers they're after. All cutting list prices would get them is a bunch of pric

The U2F spec https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-v1.2-ps-20170411/fid... has a clear description in the "Allowing for Inexpensive U2F Devices" section. For webauthn, they don't use key handle te

You sign up directly with the relying party and are authenticating to a hardware device which then OKs you to the relying party. Each relying party gets a different public key. The corresponding private keys can be stored inside the secure

I think that for the cases where you're authenticating on one device in order to allow access on another device, this is done by bluetooth communication between the devices, and as a result you have to be within bluetooth range of the

The missing important details: for reasons I do not completely understand, FIDO uses very non-obvious definitions of the words password and PIN. To them a password is a text string provided to an online service for authentication purposes a

Buyers are often only interested in buying 100% of a company. If an all or none bid comes in, either the people who want to accept or the people who want to reject are going to be unhappy. When setting up a company you have to plan how to d

From a backwards compatibility perspective, HTTP2->HTTP3 is really very similar to IPv4->IPv6. HTTP3 isn't really backwards compatible with HTTP2. The client just establishes a lower version connection and then the server (which

I know it seems moronic, but I think it might actually make sense from the advertisers point of view. Some percentage of people who buy a thing are going to return it and buy something similar in the next week. That percentage is almost cer

Cops can't always prove a suspect has committed the crime they actually care about, and in such cases will look for other crimes the suspect has committed that might be easier to prove. The most famous example is that Al Capone was con

I have the exact same power issues with my Dell XPS laptop running Windows 10, and a few more. I think my favorite is when I have to restart the computer before it will shut down. Point is, Windows is no guarantee of a functioning system.
