I don't think you can claim a loss when the reduction in revenue is due to a reserve. But I'm not a tax lawyer, circumstances may vary, yadda yadda. Accrual of Reserves for Estimat…

Not the original poster, but the book "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One" by William K. Black (former bank regulator during the S&L crisis) might shed some light onto the S&…

One of the only reasons I'm still with Google Voice is because having your number with them mitigates (far as I can tell) SIM swap attacks. Yeah, someone can swap my SIM, but effec…

This point, mentioned in the article, bears repeating, especially if you aren't familiar with Lastpass or their 2FA: Lastpass uses Yubico's one-time password, which is more similar…

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense in the context of Secure Value Recovery (to be rolled out, I think); it sounds similar in concept to how 1Password uses a user-derived master…

I'm hoping someone here has some insight they can share, because I've not really seen it addressed elsewhere. As per the linked article: > Another new feature it's testing, called …

I was a paid user of LastPass for about a decade. I don't mind a subscription-based model, especially if there's cloud-syncing involved (I've evaluated the amount of risk I'm comfo…

The situation in the linked article is way different than what's happening to me. In any case, I appreciate the response and link.

Would you happen to have a link? I'm going through the same thing, and support is no help.

It might be even more vulgar than you described, depending on regionalities. In my experience, 'año' indeed means year, while 'ano' literally translates to anus. It's that extra bi…

> GDPR compliance can be extremely expensive to implement, especially for complex software comprised of thousands of microservices that handle customer data. And imagine working in…

Take this with a grain or two of salt, as I don't recall the source, but it seems plausible - I read somewhere that when it comes to businesses like bars, at least in the US, there…

>...ordinary Titanium-based alloys would melt or weaken over time leading to rapid, unplanned disassembly. That's a rather understated way of saying "She'll fly herself apart!" I s…

Thanks for that. Some of the news sites I had been reading had neglected to mention this (and to be fair, I neglected to catch it) this, and I could swear some had reported that Bi…

I'm in the same boat you are. I'm considering alternatives to Lastpass, mostly because the client has gotten worse over the past few years (since they were picked up by LogMeIn). I…

To add context, the original awarded amount was calculated to be the revenue of a single day of coffee sales for McDonald's. Stella Liebeck had originally sued for ~$50,000, to cov…

Forgive any ignorance on my part; I'm not a dev, just a lurker with a moderately above average familiarity with tech. I mostly type with 6 - 8 fingers, with my attention split 50/5…

I've noticed the similarity between speech writing/delivery and comedy as well, and find it quite fascinating. The really compelling bit for me is watching a skilled comedian get a…

I'm not entirely certain you need to go that far. My issue is that most trailers, especially the ~two minute ones, show the majority of the story arc, and either contain spoilers, …

That's never how it works, though. Instead of offering a cheaper TV, they will instead offer a TV priced at what they can sell it for, and make money on the data sale as well. If t…

There are multiple positive and negative reports on Uber's financials in several publications, but the one(s) I've found most convincing are those put forth by Hubert Horan. He's w…

>The company as whole will never say anything positive or negative for fear of legal reprisal. It may depend on the field, yes, but this doesn't reflect what I've seen. From my vie…

Removing the telemetry on Windows 7 (or 8.1, where I'm at) is far easier than the questionably effective flaming hoops you have to jump through to do the same on 10. It's a matter …
