If they're an expert in medical simulation or sonar, aren't they likely already working for a relatively small company, and one that's located near, say, a hospital center like Boston, or an ocean? That's still a service

Yeah, I'd draw a hard line between "SMS 2FA is better than no 2FA" and "SMS should never become a single-factor recovery method." I agree SMS should never be an option for single-factor recovery.

I think this is true of businesses that outgrow their local economies. And since that's what most people see in their feeds and interact with every day, that's how they expect every company to function. When every company that has

For a long time (still?) Kraken also refused to add SMS 2FA as an option due to its weak security. I still don't see how that's worse than no 2FA at all, which was an option, but I appreciated that they were banging the "SM

Thank you! I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on with the bracketed words. I didn't try very hard, because the post was already heavy down voted and I thought maybe there just wasn't much sense to be made of it, bu

Was really expecting something more substantive from Harvard here. This is barely even a summary. Growing up in Evangelical church circles in the '90s and '00s, this was the only kind of leader you were allowed to (admit you) wa

Well, there are only 27 ratified amendments total, the first 10 of which were passed at once, so 17 in 248 years makes 32 a little more than twice the average amount of time, but they also tend to happen in clusters, and gaps between cluste

Once a quarter, I scan all my accumulated paper with a similar setup and tag it all in Logseq. I almost never need the archived docs, but when I do, it's a breeze.

This is the same problem that comes with my desire to give up a smartphone. Getting rid of my phone doesn't make other people know how to give me directions to their house without GPS (among other problems).

It wasn't until I started seeing ortho keyboards that I realized anyone had ever been taught this, and I still can't figure out why. This placement was normal when I learned to type, and it matches much more closely the shape my

I've yet to wrap my mind around two things that are extremely common on "ergonomic" keyboards: ortholinear keys, and the positions of the C, X, and Z keys in the columns. I type those with my index, middle, and ring fingers,

Interestingly, my first thought was, "This sounds like one of the most dangerous, misguided things I've ever seen." Not everyone's grief journey is the same, and I'll be the first to acknowledge it, but in my own ex

It was scary to me how fast even my doctor wanted to medicate my grief to put it behind me. I was seeing her six weeks after my sister and nephew had died, only two weeks after I had returned from their hometown 1500 miles away where I had

This is...not realistic on any level. I've been professionally investigating cryptocurrency scams/thefts/fraud since 2017. This is at least twice as convoluted a process as is necessary to separate people from millions and mi

This reminds me of the arguments against teaching kids to use calculators in school, at least at the elementary ages. Yes, it's now probably safe to assume they will have one in their pockets their whole lives, but understanding the
