It's still two factors. If someone has only your phone but not your password, they still can't log in. The problem here is that the phone number was also used as a password recovery option, which effectively means you…
To those who don't like the use of this law, I think this is OK. Here's why: You live in a democracy where the popular opinion decides who's in power. You agree that's a good idea because you aren't moving to an…
Pedophile behavior in online communities doesn't harm anyone, and doesn't need professional help any more than homosexual behavior needs professional help. It's the illegal production of the product that causes the harm.
Blaming the customers is what we do with pedophiles. It seems to work even though it's immoral.
Users don't fix bugs in open source software. For evidence, look at OpenOffice and LibreOffice, both riddled with some horrifying bugs that have been repeatedly documented for years. There's even a guy complaining about…
He makes some dubious efficiency claims. It's true the colored LEDs have always been pretty efficient, but that's no use lighting your home. White LEDs have surpassed incandescent bulbs but still have a way to go to…
Ronald Pelton was an NSA spy who's been in prison longer for participating in war. Except he's being held in the US and is still locked up today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Pelton
There's an obvious bias here. The piece ends with "localisation may keep small languages alive". Isn't that adding to the problem? We don't try to keep small programming languages alive (except a few diehards). Many…
Is there are reason this language exists? They're solving a problem that's been solved many times over for at least 2 decades in the form of managed languages.
It's debatable that H.264 and MP3 patents are bad. These were non-trivial to invent and are worlds apart from slide to unlock or hold-the-shutter-button-to-record-video. They don't patent the general process of…
Filtering doesn't work well enough at all. The fact that you can't be sure if your email was received is a problem. Many companies have over-aggressive spam filters and the recipients sometimes never even see the emails…
Not just TOR but in China you have to use a VPN to access about half the internet, and many sites restrict your access because you're connecting to them from the VPN. Paypal threatened to ban me if I ever forgot to turn…
It opens doors for some people who wouldn't have been able to otherwise. But more importantly, I hope this type of cheating leads universities to change their selection processes so applicants don't have to play this…
Don't confuse Fukishima with a nuclear disaster. Yes there was environmental contamination, but 10's of thousands of people were killed by a tsunami. Nuclear accidents aren't nearly that bad. What we need is more sea…
He waited a day or two to be frozen after he died. Doesn't that mean his brain will have already suffered massive damage from oxygen deprivation and be unrecoverable? I thought you would have to freeze yourself before…
With a resolution that high you must be used to small fixed pixel width sites. Pity they can't all just be doubled or quadrupled in size.
Whenever there are ambitious plans for a poor country, people think of all kinds of reasons not to - the environment! the culture! the local economy! people's family homes! But they forget "these people are already…
Is there actually any evidence that keeping a language alive does any good to anyone? I know people say "it gives us different ways of thinking" and "expressing different concepts" but I've yet to see an example of…
What happened to the old idea that when you observe a quantum system, its wavefunction collapses? Is that not true anymore? It seems like these guys observed it "gently" enough that it only sort of mostly collapsed with…
Do Americans realize their country works like a criminal gang?There's an innocent man still in prison today for trying to help the victim (Russia) detect being illegally spied on by America. Why is he still in prison?…
If you use CAN-ON it's only 12 chars. But if you already know you're in Ontario it's only 5 including the dot. So that makes the difference between saying it to someone and having to write it down. Mapcode is massively…
I'm surprised they still use glass incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs. Perhaps it's cheaper?
Ah right there in the article :)
Sadly popular opinion seems to be that languages and other traditions must be preserved because, well, we can't lose them. It's certainly good to preserve them in museums so people can use them for research, etc. But…
The instructions ask you to choose what feels right, not what you learnt at school to be grammatical. So you should expect poor results if you rejected right-feeling sentences.
