Agree. The UI/UX is atrocious at present. The concept has flaws, but IMO it substantively raises the floor security-wise.

Don’t know why this was downvoted. It’s a compelling hypothesis.

I’ll second this. A combo of KeePassXC (desktop), KeePassium (Apple), and KeePass2Android plus manually synching my .kbdx file makes the passkey experience relatively smooth for me.

Unfortunately, none of this matters to Wall Street, which wants eternal profit growth.

Two words: nocturnal bottleneck.

Yes. If the profit motive is all one cares about, a race to the bottom is inevitable. In the long run, not only are we all dead, but everything eventually turns to shit. Our sacred duty is to prolong that fate for as long as possible.

It would be nice if the original year of publication had been included in the tagline. Too bad HN doesn’t automatically extract and include such metadata.

He’s bribing kids to play CoD on his behalf, so he can’t use ‘staying at the top of league tables’ as an excuse.

Why is he disillusioned? He got most of what he sought: sweetheart insider deals and near-total immunity from federal regulation for his companies. I guess his disillusionment is that he fought Donald for ‘Lord of the Universe’ and lost.

I think most of us can agree that Jack Welch's tenure was one of the worst things ever to happen at GE, and his odious management ideology was one of the worst things to happen to Corporate America. He was a glorified used car salesman

Wealthy parents often hire tutors and consultants to guarantee that their intellectually mediocre children get into those élite schools.

Universities are the epitome of institutional inertia. That is a bad thing.

I don't know why this keeps getting downvoted. I only mean that as a member of the EU, Sweden is hosting members of more socially conservative societies.

Judging from efforts in the US to make health care harder and harder to obtain, I'm betting on the former, especially if other countries follow suit. Slowly letting people die from untreated chronic diseases may be seen as more humane

I love what you're doing. Philosophically, I'm behind it 100%. The problem: all that most customers really care about is price. They're willing to eschew all other concerns (e.g., security) if they can shave a few pennies. At

A decade ago, I held out hope that Nadella could rejuvenate Microsoft and allow it to recover from its complete miss with Windows Phone and the flirtation with mobile-first. A decade on, his repeated lapses have left me feeling Microsoft ne

A rebirth of mercantilism. Peter Navarro is a huge fan of it, and in his heterodox fever dreams, laments that most of the world abandoned it several centuries ago. In his mind, a net surplus of currency is every bit as important as having a

OJ is glorified sugar-water. Eat an orange and drink a glass of water. It won't spike your insulin nearly as much.
