Any shortseller with a lot of money would have an interest in bringing them down sooner rather than later. Their financial trickery was exposed in early 2019 and then was overwhelmingly confirmed by the end of 2019. If you were trying to ma

I like your ideas, but how do you retain control of your account? How do you prove that you are the owner? If someone manages to log in as you and takes over your account, how do you get it back without giving some method to contact you.

SMS 2FA is insecure because companies implement it in a way that it becomes one-factor. Forgot your password - reset your password - get an SMS When there is no second factor involved, it's not 2FA despite people calling it that.

If it's any consolation, it's common that children labeled 'gifted' early, either don't live up to the label or are affected by the label negatively. Even in my own adolescence I watched the most 'gifted'

It's only failure if you side with the overly dramatic guy on twitter complaining about non-interactive screens. Everyone that's been to a shopping mall knows how consistently broken information touch-screens are. Suggesting they

It's not about trusting the encryption, it's about trusting who does the encryption. If you are encrypting a password store and using the cloud only for sync, you're trusting an encryption standard. If you are using a cloud b

I don't follow any of his arguments. The author suggests that Jira is partially to blame for people who don't fully understand Agile software development. I would argue it's not the software that's the problem. Bad prac

These days, I believe all auto manufacturers that make three wheel cars (peugeot, etc.) .. make them with two wheels in the front. I believe the majority of three wheel motorcycles are also made this way now as well.

Personally I've felt this has been in the works for some time. If you look closely at how the founders exited facebook, and what was said at the time, it seemed (to me at least) that they left over exactly this. I mean, that aside, can
