You still need 2fa
I think most passkey implementations incorporate multiple factors already. The session factor is considered distinct from the device factor, even if it’s all on the same device.
Which isn’t super different from the traditional USB key procedure, where a user would activate a FIDO biometric after clearing an SSO portal, or what have you.
I’m not really concerned about the security of it. Moreso the inconvenience…
Honestly, convenience is security (change-my-mind lol) insofar as it measurably impacts rate of user adoption/adherence and thus outcomes.
It’s the annoyance you describe that leads most users to skip 2FA setup until it’s forced on them, for example.
Honestly I’d take that as pretty strong evidence against the idle talk from that thread. If only because kids who grew up during and shortly after the war grappled with these ideas earlier than most, and did so during a period where WS was suddenly condemned quite publicly.
Thank you!
Thanks! I lost motivation after a few lines lol
Thank you!
And honestly I don’t know that they do, since that thread is the only example I have off-hand where it was implied, and no one took time to explain.
These days I’m not terribly surprised to find WS ideas lurking in high-fantasy and scifi of yesteryear. (I mean, beyond the most pedestrian forms invited by the very notion of differing races/species coexisting.) ETA: I just don’t want to “cancel” some author I don’t know about without knowing why.
I was asking about this author recently (in this post) because a number of people referred to “Stormbringer” as an obvious white-supremacist reference but I couldn’t confirm with a fair amount of digging what everyone else seemed to know off-hand.
Is this author associated with WS? Or is this just an unfortunate result of an easy assumption that anything “storm-x” is WS-adjacent? Since I haven’t read any Moorcock, I don’t yet know. I’m just curious because I try to be aware of such things.
SO ANYWAY, IN THE ETERNAL CHAMPION ITERATION HE'S CALLED EREKOSE AND HE COMMITS THE ORIGINAL SIN WHICH SETS THE CHAMPION ON HIS CURSED PATH. BUT IN COUNT BRASS IT'S REVEALED THAT IT'S NOT HIS FAULT AND HE CAN FINALLY REST AFTER DESTROYING THE BALANCE USING THE BLACK SWORD IN IT'S PUREST FORM. YOU SEE, IN MOORCOCK'S UNIVERSE, THE SWORD IS THE CHAMPION'S NEMESIS BUT HE HAS TO USE IT TO BREAK FREE WHICH IS MOORCOCK'S BIG ANTI-WAR STATEMENT ABOUT THE FOLLY OF FIGHTING FOR PEACE. THIS IS ALSO EXEMPLIFIED OF COURSE IN ELRICS'S STORY WHERE STORMBRINGER LITERALLY DRINKS THE SOULS OF HIS ENEMIES AND WILL DRINK HIS IF HE STOPS KILLING. BUT IN CORUM'S TALE THERE'S A WHOLE CLASS-ELEMENT TO THIS THAT REALLY SHOWS HOW MOORCOCK WAS ALSO AN ANARCHIST. HAWKMOON IS ALSO LIKE THAT, HE'S A PARALLEL TO THE NOBILITY OF THE SWORD WHEREAS
I’m no Fahrenheit expert, but I’m coming up with -175 C = -283 F, so… not a typical typo but perhaps an LLM discrepancy, which doesn’t inspire confidence in either figure.
And in fact, it turns out the original paper gives as their cryo temp 77 Kelvin, which is closer to -196 C or -321 F.
I’m not sure from where the other temps in that report originated but more than likely they were just hallucinated at some point and included with subsequent summaries as confidence-inspiring “datapoints.”
Oh damn, you’re right! Apparently still a thing.
I’m not old enough to have used it but I read the ISO about DMAIC at some point and my impression was that, as with agile and other hype-jerk methodologies, there are some legit useful ideas to learn from at the start.
But once middle managers start treating it like a religion and pumping certifications it’s time to call the honey wagon.
In case anyone wants to know why, IIRC that format was popularized online by the Despair Inc demotivational posters of the 2000s.
Which themselves satirized the banal and pompous business inspo decor of the dotcom six sigma era that was ubiquitous on the walls of fart whiffer conference rooms, executive offices, and the like.
Funny. Hadn’t seen these yet and didn’t have an opinion. I do have opinions re: what constitutes good design, however, so I was curious to hear their take. It turns out we disagree about everything.
Their fundamental criticism is that the older icons were better pictures. They were more “detailed,” more “photorealistic,” more “exciting,” less “bland,” had more “soul” and, my personal favorite, less different-than-what-I’m-used-to. But none of these describe good icons, the virtue of which is in the name itself. It should represent something uniquely without attempting to fully depict it or suggest anything qualitative about it beyond what is necessary to ensure it remains distinct and clear.
To my eye, the old icons generally appear far too busy and conceptually-loaded. The tournament-spec chessboard is a particularly extreme example since it will degrade to a mosaic pattern (though I bet the smaller size/DPI variations simplify the illustration to avoid it). The criticism of the new Finder icon as “meaningless” is especially choice, since that glyph is commonly “Go To” whereas the old icon is just a fun smiley face scribble that is, in fact, meaningless to anyone not yet familiar with the antiquated trademark.
Overall this just has a lot of old-man-yells-at-clouds energy, which isn’t useful. Change != bad. The new icons are fine. Chill out Paul.
Yeah you get it. It’s a “slow = fast” type of spiel, just a bone to pick with colleagues who embrace anti-user practices needlessly.
