This has been true since platter systems took over in the 80s and 90s. Back in that era, I saw so many movies that had completely broken projection and the staff had no idea what to do. Like now, it was so automated that all they knew was

Yes, that's a security feature. It's also true for Google Authenticator, by design. You cannot officially back up/share codes because of the potential vulnerabilities that a backup would open up. Yubikey has the same problem

I'm surprised more websites aren't taking advantage of TouchId. It's so easy for people to use. Even login.gov supports it! https://www.slashgear.com/chrome-is-adding-touch-id-and-fing...

Duquesne, which is mentioned in the article, has a $40K per year tuition for undergrads (higher for nursing, etc). They have 9,344 students and their operating budget of $300M, so $32K per student. Their employee budget is $186M and 2,632 e

They're priced this way because they're 80-90% cheaper than the previous treatment. Previously, with no cure, HepC patients would have eventually had a liver transplant. Liver transplants cost between $500K-$1M. Of course, it also

FWIW, she didn't say it was _deliberately_ slow. Just that paying him hourly ended up costing more than his fixed bids because he worked slowly.

Exactly. Also, hourly quotes for even the most basic things around the house are a poor idea. Someone recently told me she had to move to fixed bids for everything with her handyman because he would just move really slow when it was hourly.

I mean, do you own a nice house or car? If you do, you've already experienced this sizing-up. A contractor comes to the house and sees you can afford 2x what they'd normally charge. A mechanic for your Lexus charges N times as muc

This does look a lot better. I often wonder if carmakers purposefully make non-IC cars ugly so too many people don't order them. And if that's true, it's probably main thing that Tesla changed: make those cars look awesome.

We already are on the hook, either as taxpayers or as customers. What I don't understand is why we'd want the regulators that let PG&E get so bad take over the place.
