It also potentially protects the passwords from their web servers if they implement it like that. They can pass the encrypted password to a separate service that has the private key and decides to give you a session or not.

Regarding the rotation timestamps: My guess is that the rotation is implemented as a "generate a new key when needed" rather than a cron: When someone asks for a key to issue to a user trying to log in, try to fetch a cached one.

I think you're misunderstanding the ACLU's arguments here. They're fairly consistently pro free-speech, mostly regardless of what that means. There's not much handwringing from them about "bad" speech because t

There are lots of different levels of classification. Not all interaction with all classified information needs to happen in a SCIF.

Where is the profit on a 0% loan? Who would pay more than face value for a stream of payments going into the future?

It's a perfectly reasonable example. Most complex systems share those properties. It makes glaringly obvious that isolating blame/personal responsibility has limited effectiveness in preventing accidents. While we need a blame ass

You should find more effective charities. In the US at least they all have to file fairly detailed forms (Form 990) with the IRS that include the compensation of their executives as well as the major ways the charity spends its money. That

As much as I want to find yet another reason to hate the Trump administration, this was done by the independent FTC, by a vote of 4-1, with 2 of 3 Republicans and both Democrats voting in favor it.

Even still there's nothing about trademarks to prevent someone from building such a replica. Trademarks prevent selling such a replica to someone else, though.

What? the Atlas thing is recording what a set of people do, passively. These extensions are actively scraping extra data from web sites beyond what the user is doing.

FB asks you explicitly if you want to upload your contacts as part of helping you find your friends. That's a far cry from "scraping your data everywhere on the internet" from the your grandparent post.

The Empire Builder is one of those vacation trains. That it actually does something useful between Minnesota and Chicago is basically accidental. Because it's government-run it has to run these completely unprofitable trains.

The term inauthentic is more accurate. Someone paying 100 people to go troll or like things is causing "real" activity, but it's not "authentic".

Cognitive dissonance is a single person holding two contradictory views at once. A person holding views that contradict yours is not cognitive dissonance. "The values that build up a society" are not a universal truth.

That's the point. Saying there's a pipeline problem when you ignore where the pipeline you're looking for is actually located is being silly. In general there's an extremely strong belief in the bay area that it's n

Something like Require-Recipient-Valid-Since from SMTP? That would be neat. Does SMS have the necessary protocol flexibility to allow that to be added?

A good grocery store will waste less. They'll have someone merge multiple cartons of eggs to refill ones that have one cracked (assuming the carton isn't soaked). They'll see they have a bunch of inventory about to go past se

Arranging different pricing for foodstuff that looks less than perfect happens all the time. How do you think very low price grocery stores are able to sell produce way cheaper than fancy stores. They buy lower grades[1] of produce for peop

These things are not linear. As your scale grows, the amount of attention from bad actors you receive goes up (from what could basically be 0 for something small). Coordination also becomes more difficult, as does managing the fleet of cust

That number can't be right, though. They have a billion in revenue per month. You wouldn't describe a 1% decline as plummeting.
