The only country I could see doing this successfully is China. They're the only ones with enough foresight and competency to do something like this. Of course, it will probably also be super totalitarian with an algorithm that penalizes political dissent, doesn't allow participation of gay people, etc.
Taiwan's treatment is a result of pressure from China, which the WHO, uniquely or not, apparently kowtows to.

It's either Mossad or Not-Mossad.

>My point is that security people need to get their priorities straight. The “threat model” section of a security paper resembles the script for a telenovela that was written by a paranoid schizophrenic: there are elaborate narratives and grand conspiracy theories, and there are heroes and villains with fantastic (yet oddly constrained) powers that necessitate a grinding battle of emotional and technical attrition. In the real world, threat models are much simpler (see Figure 1). Basically, you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you’ll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don’t respond to emails from ChEaPestPAiNPi11s@virus-basket.biz.ru. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled with tumors, they’re going to hold a press conference and say “It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US,” and then they’re going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them. In summary, https:// and two dollars will get you a bus ticket to nowhere. Also, SANTA CLAUS ISN’T REAL. When it rains, it pours.

There’s certainly plausible reason to wonder about it. Consider how many women take it, for many many years. Many women go through multiple different types of pills due to the effects certain pills will have on their body, from weight gain to period frequency.

You do that for 5, 10, 15…20 years…it’s reasonable to wonder what it will do longer term.

At the same time, as you age and have older friend groups it’s hard not to notice a correlation between the friends you have who never took birth control or minimally took it who also have no anxiety issues and those that don’t.

Maybe it could be something else but IMO it warrants further study.

I see touch ID for sudo as the equivalent of 2FA. I am on my computer, I'm logged in in the account that has admin permissions but we want to confirm that it's me and not someone else that is logged in to my account, so touchid for sudo acts as a 2fa.

> your gaming PC

If you have the spare cash and room, it's not a bad idea to keep gaming devices separate from work or personal devices.

Gaming may conflict with security in several aspects:

- Performance optimizations (eg. this website)

- Installing various closed-source drivers, peripheral utilities, or custom installers

- Granting privileged access to legitimate anti-cheat software

- Or even, perish the thought, installing pirated games and cracks

If you enable 2FA on your Steam account, backup your saved games to the cloud, and otherwise keep your gaming PC devoid of any remotely sensitive or valuable data, you can mostly have peace of mind as you blissfully install all kinds of untrusted software on what is essentially a glorified gaming console.

If you want to use your nice 38" curved monitor for non-gaming activities on a secure computer, a KVM switch is pretty cheap.

(Of course, if you're happy playing DRM-free games on Linux with a sufficiently powerful AMD card, you don't need to bother with any of that.)
Killer, thx !
Can't wait for tinkering with OCaml when 5.0 is stable. Pretty sure the community will invent amazing libraries for parallel computation as well.

Maybe finally Rust+tokio projects will have some actual competition!
Terrible idea. No matter how much time it would save me, I do not want “my” computer doing any work designed to snitch on me.
Just give the attorney a sealed printed list of 10,000 numbered passwords. Someone with the passwords won't know what they are for. Even if they can guess that one of them is for your email account and they know your email account, they'll have to try thousands of passwords before they find the right one.

In your house, and maybe with trusted friends, keep the instructions sheet with logins and a reference to the relevant password number. "To access my email account, username is foo@gmail.com and use password #5122 from the password list".
What? So there's no added security by using TouchID as some here seem to think? So it's a pure convenience thing ... if so then well, I'm personally not very annoyed by having to enter my password when my hands are on the keyboard anyway.
For such case, if I were to use this service I would hope the owner's own dead man's switch has been set up properly.
Isn’t that the whole “system 1” and “system 2” thinking? One being your logical brain and one being your practical brain. Hence why some supermarkets are testing shelving layouts in VR because if you survey people they’ll tell you one thing but in practice they’d actually do something different :)
Sorry but I have to nitpick here. Nobody was ever able to verify the fingerprint was the same as the German defence ministers.

What the attacker was able to do was take a high resolution photo of the defence ministers thumb and then produce a "fingerprint" that they could use to register as a "fingerprint" on their own phone and then unlock that phone with the "fingerprint".

It could be nothing like the defence ministers actual fingerprint but just look enough like any real fingerprint to register with a fingerprint scanner on a phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. We do this for all cloud-based installations. The case I'm talking about involves only legacy infrastructure.

Quote or reference the lines in the Dublin agreement that state this. Also, point out where IN U.K. LAW the Dublin agreement and these lines apply.

Your first sentence is irrelevant because this applies to refugees claiming asylum.
That's a fine 2FA unless your threat model involves physical coercion. The nice thing about passwords is that giving it is, with the exception of some drugs maybe, voluntary. You don't really have the same agency if someone forcibly makes your finger touch the device. And I think fingerprints work even on a dead body. And can be lifted from inanimate surfaces like a glas at a bar.
It's back up now.

Commercial aviation is generally well known for having redundancies in place for a lot of problems they can potentially face, so I have to wonder how big the issue was that they had to shut down an entire airspace. Could have been a one-in-a-million glitch they couldn't account for. The subsequent investigation report will be an interesting read.
But that wouldn’t work with TouchID sensors right? They also check for “living tissue”. And at that point the attack becomes _very_ expensive to perform

I've experimented and varied my time to ask out for a date. I've asked out after a few texts after matching, and also after a few days of texting. For me, it has mostly worked out when I gave it more time.

Most of my matches have indicated they like to get more familiar before going out with a stranger. But then again, I live in India, so that probably has a lot to do with my experience.

OCaml is possibly my favorite language, along with Rust, and what I hope from the Santa is projects like https://github.com/tezedge/ocaml-interop to become mature.

I think all these "properly typed" languages should aspire to have great interoperability: after all, they have types to help. But I realize there can be big technical difficulties in making it safe, in particular with garbage collection..
I heard that 5.0 does not include (user visible) effects (yet?).

Is this planned for after 5.0? Anywhere I can learn more?

Getting an effects system with handlers in a (semi)large and mature language is a pretty big step.

The Koka language [1] has a brilliant implementation of algebraic effects. Sadly it's a research language that doesn't see much development.

No it means only that the fingerprints are present. Your finger can be cut or you might be forced to unlock the device.

Wasn't the problem with opioids in the US that doctors already did prescribe them too freely? The fact that there's now a backlash after it caused a massive problem cannot be the reason that doctors have historically been sceptical about pain (and not just in the US but elsewhere where prescription opioid abuse has not been a problem!)

This is something you should bring up with your bank. In Finland if you have a joint account with your spouse there is a difference if the account is listed as "X and Y" vs "X or Y".

> It went away with the upgrade to Android 10 [1] probably because Samsung didn't want to spend money when only a few people was running it.

Just to clarify this: From my experience, the cost to maintain this would probably be 4 full-time very competent system software engineers, because pretty much every pieces of Android will be fighting against such a use, and Google certification for Android devices will forbid most changes you'd want to do to have Android allow it. Also, you'll be much more likely to delay the project (either release or even simple upgrades, because Google's tests are often upgraded with new tests), making it liable for all other features as well.

So yeah, it's sad it went away, but I can't blame Samsung for it.

The author and a lot of other people in this thread seem wistful for the days where game design was a lot more weird and experimental and are pointing to the indie game scene but I have an alternate suggestion: try Roblox.

Roblox is (rightly considered) to be a gaming platform for young kids but its unique mix of:

- portable identities/avatars/friends

- easy to use dev tools

- platform distribution

- built in multi-player

Have made it a virtual riot of creativity and fun and odd mashups of things. Here's just a sampling of things I've seen my kids play.

- social potion making + adventuring (to get components for portions) + you drink the potion and are a giant

- social tower defense but it's also a platformer

- survival game / city builder where you build out a peninsula and islands in hexes but can also send out attacks on other players and sometimes you're attacked by sharks

- adoption game but with kidnapping as an emergent behavior

- 3D character brawler (ala Smash) but it's a circular island and it's centered around slapping. Each time you slap someone off your hand gets bigger until it's the size of your body and has lightning.

Interesting. I've heard recovery from jaw surgery can be trying. What was your experience like?
It’s definitely possible I got the order wrong. I still feel reasonably confident that documentation, and the general ideas sketched out on the VisiCalc reference card, were a core part of the start of the project, before the code was anywhere near finalized. I’m trying to find an update if I’m able to, but there was a copy I saw in my research of the VisiCalc reference card made before the program was finished, with a sketch instead of a screenshot, and then it showed what changed and what didn’t between that and the release. And Frankston comment about that if the code couldn’t match the card, they’d change the code, seemed to me that at least the docs set the tone for the code, and not the other way around.

Fadell’s writing the press release before building the Nest and Raskin writing The Book of Macintosh to kick off the original Mac, though, both are directly documented so we can be certain there.

At any rate, appreciate the push back—definitely want to have the story straight! Will dig a bit more on VisiCalc and see if I can find more confirmation.

Not every change affect other people, but isn't that my call to decide? Also "simple" in quotes implies it isn't i.e. you aren't trusting what you are told.

> What looks like a small change to a developer is never actually a small change.

Not true, this is hyperbole. If the lawyers need to be consulted to change dependencies this is something a developer should know and account for. Why keep devs out of the loop?

I consult with other devs, QAs (if needed) & external teams, perhaps with a ticket if deemed necessary, other times just a PR. I run the (CI) regression, I schedule/announce and perform deployment (we have platform team, not "devops" which is generally done by the app devs), I write the app docs, we have no legal documentation that lists the licenses for the dependencies.

I do this as a dev - why should I not be able to recognise if a change is small or not? let alone never being able to.
