Honest answer: Almost all 2FA deployed at scale shares one of the fundamental sins of passwords: being phishable. That is, a convincing but fake website can trick someone into giving away a 2FA code.

What passkeys do is replace broken, phishable passwords with something that's always strong.
did 2fa not solve the password problem?? do we really need passkeys?

So I did this (I think) handy flow chart to help navigate the all-important question that stems from fiscal-monetary-exchange rate interactions.

People who let their dogs sit outside barking so the neighbors have to listen to it instead deserve harsh and deliberate punishments

Tezzla drivers have stickers like “I swear I didn’t know he was this bad when I bought the car” and then drive like they own a Dodge

the WaPo thing isn't just because of one decision, it's built up ire against years of perceived spinelessness by US media about Trump, *worsened* by the WaPo's positioning of itself as a champion of democracy in 2017 and the feeling of hypocrisy

His wife being of Indian descent will never not be funny and somewhat sad to me. She probably deserves to see some of this repeated back to her for a response.

If DC was a state and the governor was a Republican the police absolutely would have been told to stand down and let the rioters run

as someone who calls the stadium “the largest monument to pederasty west of the vatican” I find this binary delightful
as a disgusting penn state slob I’m pissed off at harbaugh’s suspension, not because he didn’t earn it but because now the two possible outcomes of tomorrow’s game are “penn state only won because of the suspension chaos” and “lol penn state couldn’t win despite the suspension chaos”

All the people who said SBF would never be charged etc. because of his political donations. Probably one of the clearest examples of what is a very common phenomenon, where the savvy people who want "the real story" tend to be the biggest dupes who fall for the dumbest ideas.

The grim thing is that indiscriminate bombing worked in Chechnya and Syria. Just have to be insanely brutal in a way the US wasn’t.
Incredible to me that someone can live through the last 20 years and still think that indiscriminately bombing a population is a plausible way to defeat terrorism.

As a historian, I cannot help pointing out that, once upon a time, in 2008 to be precise, it was possible for Vanity Fair to publish a lengthy exposé on US government involvement in the horrible mess that brought Hamas to power in Gaza. archive.vanityfair.com/article/2008...

Would gladly take a lot of UK talent here so they can escape the endless Brexit-past-the-post feudal system Little Englanders made for them
The Tories have created in England a HE system that is radically unaffordable for young people, in an economy which is unfit to make use of their talents.

I really, honestly, don't know why more of them don't just leave.

“Washington is broken” is such weasel language. It’s not the city itself that’s passively broken, it’s that people get sent here from Pensacola and Knoxville and Texarkana to come actively break it.
