I'm not surprised to be honest. In the city I currently live in, since moving here a year ago, I've never even gotten the bus because an uber is maybe twice the price but 10x more convenient and 5x as fast to get to the local trai

I used to use SuperGenPass[1] to do exactly this, but what you'll soon find is that every website has slightly different password rules, so you'll have to start memorizing unique settings for each site (i.e. website X can't h

Except when you're on the home screen; long press will let you wiggle icons and force touch will let you get app shortcuts.

This is what it's like in Scotland!! People here get SO angry, thinking that you have "skipped" all the other patiently waiting people... And then they don't let you merge! And it makes absolutely no sense to me, because

I always thought of The Verge as Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, and Paul Miller... It's been kinda of a so-and-so website in the past year, so I'm not surprised he's leaving before the whole site goes downhill.. Good on him th

I've contacted AirBnB regarding several unprofessional experiences, and I've found that AirBnB themselves were quite amateur. This has changed, and AirBnB are starting to grow up. Hopefully this sort of stuff doesn't happen a

It's just too much work to type it all in all the time... (Has nothing to do with spreadsheets etc... I also get fed up of calorie counting apps and fitness apps as entering data isn't fun!)

I once tried to keep a spreadsheet (Apple's Numbers) for fuel cost / consumption / mileage, etc. for my car. I found Numbers to do the job best, but still got fed up of trying to do it all...

I've been looking for a nice Markdown editor on Mac. Hopefully this one will be it. Are there any others I should look at?

(unfortunately) The more I think about this, the more flaws I find... I looked through pastor.py and essentially you're just creating a different password. There's no difference between using this generated password and another pa

by vrikis 12y ago
But what I don't understand is, if the password is never stored, how can you allow for logins, etc.? I mean, there must be a way of comparison, or something? I think perhaps I'm having a brain melt, or I'm misunderstanding th

I'm not sure if I quite understand this - so you're hashing the pass-phrase+doorID, and then storing that? Doesn't that mean that the hashed, well, generated password is always the same, regardless which website you are on? I

The AirBnB logo is far more triangular, if that makes sense. The lines coming down from the top towards the bottom left/right are very straight (EDIT: essentially it's a fancy "A" with very rigid lines), whereas the fash

Although I've never been an active cannabis user as the study describes it, I tried the drug on several occasions in high school and at university. I've always felt paranoid whilst high, and it's always been an unpleasant exp

I agree with the first part, but I've been pretty impressed by the security used and developed in iOS: http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb14.p... At the end of the day, as you said,

You don't actually need a mobile at all. You could have this run as a browser plugin, but the point of having SQRL on a mobile is that it's seperate from what you're trying to log in with, if that makes sense..

A smartphone isn't any less secure than a laptop... I could say "lost your laptop and you give away the keys to everything" just as you said the same for smartphone... It's up to the user to decide what security they put

The ONLY reason I've ever put eggs in the fridge is because my fridge has an egg tray... I tend to put my shopping in similar places as where the supermarket had put them, so things I buy out of the fridge go in the fridge at home, and

I did consider switching to them, but the plan I looked at (Fiber to the cabinet and a higher 200GB download cap) comes in at £50 + (as far as I'm aware) BT line rental, so around £66/month... My BT bill for the above is around £4

I had that idea for a while, but I just keep separate spaces (or whatever OS X's multiple desktops are called now). In the end, I didn't find that there would be any conflicting accounts, etc. so I didn't find a need for it.
