   I'm not a security expert but this seems like are giving out a coarse approximation of my username (that has no password protection). I would think it is significantly easier to break into FaceID starting with the coarse depth map than

   I admit that I am pretty ignorant to the really technical aspects of security but it seems that using authentication data for anything other than authentication is poor practice. I can understand the desire to use facial stuff to make inter

   I've heard this idea mentioned recently. Is there suddenly a consensus that bitcoin (or crytpo in general) will never be used as currency? To me it seems pretty arbitrary to say it now. Outside of slow transaction times, I'm not s

   I am guessing that your actually ideology isn't as hardline as the question you asked would imply. But just incase it is; consider a country like North Korea, certainly the black market there provides a lot of social utility.

   Could the patch also handle this case? Can you create a root account in OS X? If it was previously possible to create a root account then I guess there's no way to tell the difference between those who created the password as a respons

   Seems like you are splitting hairs here. Clearly, the point the commenter was making is that people that have now set the root password as a result of the tweet are more secure than they were before the tweet.

   Both interesting thoughts. I've thought about the transparency bit before. I guess keeping it opaque has the effect that you can't have a vendetta for someone who down-voted you and in general the down-voters has had to acquire en

    @wavefunction I can't comment on your last message (I guess to prevent flamewars?), hopefully this doesn't get too confusing to follow. My understanding of the argument is that EM frequencies in a geography are a limited resource

    I think the Austrian school is considered legitimate school of economics though, right? It's not like these are amateur economists or anything.

    I just heard about the Provider pattern this week when reading about using react-router and mobx. That being said, it is a solution to a "problem" that I noticed fairly early on in my react usage.

    I've thought about the idea that the value of a cryptocurrency is in its network. Since bitcoin has a large network it has some value that can't easily be copied or replicated. I have wondered if the value is actually closer to so

    My anecdotal experience is most believers in the future of crypto believe that there will be a number of cryptocurrencies that will be used.

    $63 billion to produce 400 companies seems like a statistic someone would cite if they wanted to argue against this funding. That is roughly $150 million per each new company. That seems like a very high number, particularly when their is n

    I also think that SecondLife stands on its own as far as scale and ambition. And although I can imagine it being engineered better, I can't point to any other project that is similar enough to use as a legitimate example of better qual

    I like the idea. I think it could benefit from some transparency into the calculations.
