    So ahead of their time: For security, the commit command will use one-time passwords. This way, even if someone gets the ordinary password of a user, they can't modify the catalog …

    Although most people will read this and think, oh more shenanigans from UBER, the reality is (and as a Colombian I know), that the government has failed for years to regulate this …

    Founder of Authy here. I've been thinking a lot about this lately and came to the conclusion that the only sensible way to do 2FA are U2F hardware key's. Here's why: First, SMS 2FA…

    This unfortunately is useless. Account recovery will still allow the hacker to use the phone number that has just been swaped to logon to the email. The weakest link is what matter…

    another shocker. The smell of "Chlorine" in the pools is not caused by "chlorine" but by the urine. Chlorine has no smell when mixed with water. Add urine, and you get the "Chlorin…

    No assumption here. The expected return of an asset class like shares and bonds is higher than the annuity, which is always $60,000 and nothing more - this is a fact. But as you sa…

    You chose the wrong one. No matter what the article says, the $1M is more valuable. First, the safe withdrawal method of 4% is actually not safe - the safest method of withdrawal i…

    I'll go the opposite of most of the comments here. Assuming a NO attitude right from the start is probably not the way to go. Telling them to "Pound Sand" or just plain NO is not i…
