I would love to be a fan of Yubikeys, in fact most people would say I _am_ a fan of Yubikeys, I think I have like 10 of them (due to product evolution and always buying a few when I buy one). Unfortunately most of the sites I use do not hav

This exact situation occurred a couple years ago to some people in the US. I don’t know their names, and I didn’t investigate the situation internally, so I don’t know just how smart the phishers were vs their victims. What I do know is tha

Then they would have those keys. Phone security has gotten a lot better in 14 years, but it hasn’t always been great, and desktop security is still not so awesome.

Reading, and I guess I'll take the time to explain why it works this way. Unfortunately I have to keep it at fairly high level. Long story short, we don't trust the transport mechanisms by which our customer's data gets from

More seriously -- I can't really talk about this in great detail. What I will say is the obvious: Google engineers have been hired in the past at Fitbit and vice versa. Leveling systems aren't perfect, and there's no perfect

None of our engineers had to do a coding test to get their Google offer. :)

That's a noble goal, but one of the reasons companies hire contractors is to give themselves flexibility. Often they aren't even the company on the pay check the contractor receives. I fully support contractors and employees being

I forget exactly when I first encountered the web. It was sometime in 1992, and the standard "publishing" mechanisms of the time were FTP (super common), Gopher and WAIS. Later in the year I remember showing my boss the alpha NCSA

So I guess Apple really put them out of business, right? Oh wait, no, they’re worth $7.5B as of Friday. /s Definitely Drew should have taken the money and run. I mean, he’s only a single digit billionaire!

Apple has tried to put Netflix out of business and so far isn't succeeding. They sort/of tried to put Facebook out of business and failed so miserably they may not get over it for another 5 years. They haven't even been able

SnapChat and TikTok were both created well after Apple achieved its current market position. Not to mention the fact that I have only picked a few examples from a few categories. What will you say when I add Uber, Door Dash, AirBnB and othe

Personally I subscribe to the NYT and I only heard about this story because of the retraction and investigation that they published in the newspaper. So at least from my perspective as a NYT customer, they have done enough to let me know th

The original target for Java (Oak) was set top boxes. Arguably Sun was trying to commoditize the set top box industry so that they could sell expensive servers to cable operators. Then someone decided to open source the result (engineers ar

The fire in Japan is kind of a big deal. They turn out to have been the only supplier for that part and the result is that a ton of downstream manufacturers are affected. Your GCM team may have thought they had second sources, but when they

In games, most of that kind of work is off-loaded to the GPU. In some non-games, too.

I agree if you add the clarifying statement ...not an AMD/Intel killer for __some__ compute-heavy workflows... It’s clear there are other workflows which some people characterize as “compute-heavy” where the M1 is superior.

I would posit that you don't use that data to decide whether or not you should buy Instagram. You use that data to decide if you should clone Stories, build an events platform, etc. IOW, it's incredibly valuable to be able to see

I think you're using an overly broad interpretation of GDPR here. When Tinder/Match, which is a US company, processes the PII of US citizens, there is no federal law that is in effect. Of course if you live in CA you have CCPA to

I don't think you're truly economically "upper class" if you have to worry about student loans. I was paying off loans into my 30's, but my children will never have to pay a dime for school unless they make an activ

Sorry, gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t try a lot of wines. Australia has some really great wines, both reds (Shiraz) and more recently whites (their Chardonnays are as good most of Napa’s). Their wine production is ~half of the USA

I think he had a pretty decent chance either way honestly. He was in a survival suit, out of the water, and managed to go for 3 hours without ending up in the drink. Add the fact that it isn't open ocean, I think he's a pretty res
