How are those multi factor? Aren't they all just the single factor of "something you have" if they're passwordless?
comment
This wouldn't work either. It would just make users bounce between 2 passwords: foo100 -> bar200 -> foo101 -> bar201 -> foo102, etc.
comment
Those are all "coming soon". Tesla and Elon Musk are 100% clear that today , you still need to be an attentive driver while using Autopilot.
comment
> Tesla drivers are probably younger Don't younger (hence less experienced) drivers generally have more accidents? If this is true, isn't it more evidence that Tesla's safety feature…
comment
Nitpick: there's a difference between "will not activate" and "will deactivate if it was already active". (For the record, my opinion is that this was entirely the driver'…
comment
A human and Autopilot working together is safer than just a human driving. Autopilot by itself is currently less safe than just a human driving (which is why it's still level 2). There's no…

The problem is that Facebook selectively enforces these rules.

If that were the case, then why did btrfs work perfectly on them all until this update?
comment
Why does it matter how much of the US is vaccinated? For any given gathering, doesn't it only matter whether the people at that gathering are? Suppose 20,000 people, each from different household…
comment
If you believe good public health policy requires that there be restrictions on gatherings even where everyone is fully vaccinated, then what do you see as the path back to full normality? Or is this …
comment
Yes, with the key point that the people who are most at risk of dying from the vaccine are a different set of people than those most at risk of dying from COVID.
comment
> it bars its use in software that will only run if signatures are required It's a little bit more nuanced than this. It's okay to require signed code as long as the end user has control …

If an article said 2+2 is 4, and people commented "no, it's 3", "no, it's 5", and "no, it's 6", they'd all get downvoted. Would you say that article i…
comment
Your chance of dying from COVID is heavily dependent on your age and any preexisting conditions, so any comparison that uses a single probability for everyone is totally wrong for a very large number …
comment
That seems like it'd be easy to fix: the government just needs to say "as soon as you're fully vaccinated, you don't need to social distance or wear a mask in public anymore".…
comment
I assume it was by saying something to the effect of "if you want to do business here, then you have to follow our rules globally" to the manufacturer, and that one of the rules was that the…
comment
Most people agreeing with an article means that it's biased?
comment
That's not what I meant. My point was that Dubai has a regulation that prohibits their efficient LEDs from being sold anywhere else. If not for that regulation, then the efficient Dubai bulbs cou…
comment
Yes, those Dubai bulbs are better than the ones we're all stuck with. But isn't that because of a regulation rather than because of the market? In particular, when Dubai accepted those kind …
comment
I think you missed a joke there.
comment
Historical social shunning was the majority of people in society choosing to exclude people. Today's cancel culture is vocal minorities bullying monopolistic companies into excluding people.
comment
> Switching from gas to electric is something I can do all on my own. Even this depends on where you live, though to a lesser degree. In particular, if you live somewhere that you have to park on t…
comment
Okay, that's another way to fix the problem then: break Twitch up into 100 baby Twitches, and don't let anyone have ownership/stake/control of more than one of them. If all 100 dec…
comment
If you shut it down, competitors would immediately spring up and become way more popular. If you "just" ban someone you don't like, that won't happen.
comment
Because Apple only cares about keeping devices secure from their owners, not about security that benefits the device's owner.
comment
That was never intended as a threat and was clarified years ago: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999415738967277568 TL;DR of the thread: he was warning that UAW would ge…
comment
> I would argue that that chance approaches 100% until we reach herd immunity That seems unlikely. For one thing, after more than a year, there have been 130 million cases out of a population of 8 …
comment
> I haven't seen any proof that the rate of deaths caused by this is anywhere near as high as the IFR of covid. This is a key flaw in your logic. The choices aren't just "get the AZ …
comment
> The fatality rate from Covid is much higher, even for young people. Are you taking into account that these blood clot deaths are happening disproportionately in younger people? Also, are you assu…

If it has DAC override, then it can read your credentials file just as easily as it can the environment.
