Don’t they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn’t exactly a successful strategy.

Understanding and responding to microexpressions in context and in real time is a skill like swimming. You learn it in your body, you don’t think at all, you just do it. Good luck out there.
- Comment on Is it OK for middle agers to hit on young staff? 4 months ago:
You’re welcome. It took me 10 years of making mistakes to figure out so it’s maybe not as easy as I make it sound. Really the key was getting out of my head and paying attention to them. Learning happens much quicker when I’m paying attention to the feedback I’m getting. Microexpression are powerful teachers.

If they flirt with you it’s cool the flirt back. Just don’t ask anyone out unless you are ready to be cool when they say no and be sure you are 100% interested in taking them seriously.
If you can’t take the no it’s creepy.
If you’re just trying to get a number to stoke your ego it’s creepy.
If you ask and accept the answer it’s fine.
If you flirt without hitting on or asking out you’ll often make their day. And if the vibe is off stop. It’s not that tricky.

Precisely. So much added expense for zero, or rather negative, added value.

Voting isn’t the answer it’s just the minimum required effort in the USA. We need unions and to strike and all kinds of solidarity and resistance. But compared to those voting is cheap and easy. If everyone votes in their own self interest all the hard actions like striking will be easier and more effective.

You’re using the word ‘stolen’ which doesn’t fit. It would be accurate to say 'every answer comes from possibly unlicensed material '.

Amen!

Yep! Like gender. It may be a social construct but obviously that social construct is very important.
The only reason I can think of to remind people that something is a social construct is to help them remember change is possible and entirely within our control as a society.

Obviously, you change the law to match reality :P Thanks for the giggle.

Of course crime is a social construct. No examples are necessary. What else could it be?

++ Totally. 10€ a month can’t be close to the value of the data. If the cost was actually based on the value of the data it might be a valid choice.

I’m still curious where coercion comes into it?

You choose to visit Facebook. They’ve always provided services funded by your data. Now you get to choose between that model or compensating them directly.
Where does the coercion come in?
PS, I hate Facebook and don’t use it in case that matters somehow.
- Comment on 𓍊𓋼😿𓋼𓍊 1 year ago:
In this case I’m not confused. Fungi isn’t foundational the way this meme implies. Monera and protista existed before fungi and would go on even if all fungi were to vanish. In fact were monera and plantae to vanish nearly all fungi would parish. It’s pretty simple to tell which kingdom is more foundational. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Everyone is living authentically so there isn’t the friction you imagine. Riker isn’t shamed for liking sex. Troi isn’t shamed for liking sweets. People are done shaming each other for being themselves. At least that was the idea.

- Comment on Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts 1 year ago:
Thanks for the civil discussion. While my views haven’t changed I have learned a lot about possible objections from informed people.
Let’s hope this new auth standard is implemented responsibly by all the major parties and that weak passwords and phishing become relics of the past.
- Comment on Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts 1 year ago:
But that’s the whole thing we are trying to solve here. We are trying to eliminate human factor and by extension bad habits people have when it comes to security. So expecting people to use good passwords and pins for keys will be the same as expecting people to have good passwords for accounts. Perhaps even worse because of claims it’s better security so people might even relax more.
I feel like it’s 2001 and I’m trying to convince my users to switch from passwords to RSA keys for SSH. Yes there are potential weaknesses. Yes it’s still much better.
Also timeouts with pins and passwords mean very little once someone has your device. This is why I don’t consider it good two-factor. PIN might be in your head, but nothing is preventing someone brute forcing it. Once you image the device you can do whatever you want. With credit cards, you’d need ATM to keep doing it and lockout is a serious problem there.
Even if all we’ve done is reduced potential attackers from everyone with an Internet connection to people with physical access to the device we’ve still massively increased the average user’s security. And we’ve done more than that.
Also unless you can clone the device somehow hitting max guesses and losing access just like an ATM is part of the design.
It’s a step in right direction for sure, but I’d prefer if keys didn’t depend on PIN or password.
I lost track of your suggestion over the weekend but what was your suggestion for second factor other than a pin or password?
