I share the same thing. In fact, being a commissioner he was probably explicitly warned against taking any action into his own hands. A commissioner can easily mess things up and get sued trying do work on their own. Say they try to “repair

Maybe it’s ok to email a person after they click a button that says “mail me my 2fa” code? Not a lawyer but it feels right that if I say it’s ok to send me a one off email explicitly, it can omit an unsubscribe

This boarders on self-promotion but I'd like to say, "Bitcoin fixes this". We're launching Bitcoin payments available to every Square point of sale with 0% transaction fees for next year. 1% after that. Available Nov 10t

We built the pilot to show a standard lightning invoice with a QR code and NFC. Any wallet capable of paying that invoice could pay. Whatever wallet you use did need to have liquidity on the network that can reach our routing node, c=, but

Thanks for building this. I am going to try it out next time I can use it!

For anything that is important enough, I put passkeys on 2 separate FIDO2 key devices directly. Services that come to mind are things with recovery backdoors; like email or device backups. Unfortunately many banks and financial institutions

This is the exact reason I self host vault warden. I get all the convenience of syncing passkeys, but know that I am the only one with access to the back-end. I am also slightly paranoid as a security engineer, and admit that whole heartedl

This is a very cool project, happy to see the costs of this stuff coming down a little bit. When I was an intern 15 years ago I worked on a software library for this https://www.embeddedts.com/products/TS-IRIDIUM Board

Python was first released in the early 90s. If you compare Python packaging to other languages of its time, its not so crazy. For comparison, C++ was released in '85.

Or go a step beyond and get typer (which builds on click IIRC) https://typer.tiangolo.com/ If you use Poetry and a pyproject.toml, you can even make your package installable with something like pipx straight from Github. It

Is this sarcasm? I disagree vehemently. These are things that should be the most repairable.

This is awesome, I ordered one. Please bring this display technology to larger formats if it ever makes sense economically, this is like the dream for a wall calendar.

If I recall correctly the ordinance only barred the city's police from "acquiring or using" the software without approval and reports to a committee. Merely asking someone else to use it on their behalf is probably ok (per th

It means at the very least that the buyer is affluent enough to have that kind of liquidity available. That's out of reach for a lot of people, but yeah, it does summon this image of suitcases full of cash unnecessarily. Maybe its the

Complicated video games, especially ones with transactions or multi-player aspects, require a lot more security code than you might expect.

While I agree with you, this is an inherently political discussion. Having a phrase thats easier to remember (due to alliteration) and easier to conceptualize (of course I should be able to repair something!) might give it ever so slightly

The Iridium satellites are in what you might call "parallel" orbits, if you stretch the meaning of the word a little bit. The wikipedia link above explains it well: """ Orbital velocity of the satellites is approxim

There were some experiments with communicating over Iridium to small cube-like sats back in the day, but we couldn't make the system on a chip beefy enough to do the Doppler shift calculations on the fly and survive a launch; it was cl

More concerning to me is that there isn't anything better out there to buy anyway.

Protip, use something like a https://diceware.rempe.us/#eff password with 6 words. They never seem to mind when you just say "litmus secrecy ruckus nest reason send", they don't even skip a beat.

That doesn't work with iPhones, the Secure Enclave in the only thing that can unlock the phone, and after the attempt limit is exceeded, passcode-protected data is erased by Secure Storage. I guess if they really wanted to they could a

This point is brought up in the article but I think it is at the real heart of the issue. QA is almost always seen as a 'cost center' by the business and upper management. I have a hypothesis that you never ought to work in a depa

The problem is security is a "Market for lemons" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons . Just like when trying to buy a used car, you need someone who is basically an expert in selling used cars.
