This issue is isolated to you. I use PayPal multiple times per day. It is working fine right now.

You’re overthinking it. Create a private key. Protect that key with a pass phrase. If you change your password, you’re really changing the pass phrase.

Does that clear it up at all?

FYI these concepts are originated from military crypto. The foundations are solid. Implementation... well you know how that always is.... one CVE away from perfect!!

I don’t mind the displays being screens as long as certain things have mechanical buttons. Eg: The AC/Max AC. Don’t make people go through touchscreen menus that take a minute just to boot. When it’s 100F outside and you need max ac, that minute is a LONG minute.

> I didn't know how fast to turn around when I tried to register an account and they insisted I needed to provide a copy of my passport or drivers license.

Hosting / pay for remote virtual stuff is notorious for abuse. I'm surprised AWS doesn't require an ID to get started these days. I understand why smaller player do, though.

Glad this was pointed out. That felt weird reading yesterday.

I really wish people (you) would read.

> The other thing that rings true in the NYT story is the detail that Google told Sonos it would pull Google Assistant support if Sonos enabled simultaneous wake words. That’s the feature which lets speakers listen for both “Alexa” and “Okay Google” at the same time. Google really comes off looking like a bully.

I’d suspect a lot of those change and go scenarios are backup/redundancy failure. Probably could have made it on a single, but thank god we have regulations saying hell no.

> I live in Phoenix; in my neighborhood it's basically the same way. City comes around, tears up the sidewalk to fix something (water main or such) - and you the homeowner are responsible for fixing the sidewalk. Yay.

What in the holy hell? That's insane and ridiculous. Is this for both residential and commercial? (I could understand the latter slightly more.)

Sounds like a great way to piss off your citizens by cutting a very small corner in what is probably already an expensive endeavor.

I never really thought about that. I rarely see station-wagons anymore these days. Great point.

Probably going to be ridiculed for this, but "clothing engineer" actually sounds "cool" in a very mature market, in my eyes.

Your perception of a typical sysadmin and their sw-dev skills is widely wrong in that case.

Most sysadmins focus on keeping things running. They are usually taxed to the point that they don't have the luxury of sitting around and writing code to be more efficient.

Sorry, but unless you provide other data I still believe this would run afoul of the computer fraud and abuse act (CFAA - 1986).

Yup have been doing it for about 3 years now. I love how much value I get in return of little I provide (relatively).

Ban me. Do it, you royal faggot.

Bonus points: you linked the same URL twice, you dummy.

These guidelines as you selectively enforce them are a motherfucking joke and the entire site knows it.

Also I was never banned, you truth-twisting faggot.

Fuck off and die loser.
