So you bring out “this is my second language” after telling someone else “you might want to put more effort into reading”. No, that does not fly. You put “sorry, English is my second language” first. Lashing out like that is not a good look.

I can’t load a stress how bad your proofreading is. Don’t blame that on others.
Yeah, just need to make some measurements and plan some things around other planned tattoos.
Shoot me a DM.
I would love a tattoo of this.


Axiom Verge. I don’t know how they managed to improve on the feeling of Super Metroid, but they did it.
Some years ago, they had to raise the limit on the number of classes in an Android app in order to let Facebook work. That should tell you everything.


Quantum encryption will be “broken” the same way as conventional crypto is: side channels. It’s nice to have, but it doesn’t solve the most common attacks.


If money is going to be irrelevant, then he should give his all away right now. Get ahead of that curve.


I’m sorry, is this thread under the misconception that the X360 outsold the PS3? Because that’s wrong.
https://www.vgchartz.com/charts/platform_totals/Hardware.php/
X360 did win in North America, but PS3 had a small lead globally. The PS3 was completely dominant in Japan, and had a sizable lead in Europe.
If it wasn’t for the Red Ring of Death, the X360 probably would have won. In many ways, Microsoft’s gaming division never recovered from that.

Our long nightmare of commodity hardware and open ecosystems is finally coming to an end!


I usually put it at $10M, and there are specific arguments for this.
The Trinity Study used a standard retirement portfolio and then studied its results using a sliding window starting from 1925. Let’s say you retire at 60 and expect to have another 20 years of life. This time period covers good stock market performance and bad, high inflation and low. It’s a very robust result, and the US and even worldwide economy would have to fundamentally change for it to be invalidated. (You could argue that Trump is driving things in that direction, but that’s a whole other discussion.)
How much of the portfolio can you withdraw each year and be safe?
The study starts with a percentage withdraw rate, which is increased by the rate of inflation each year. It then checks if the portfolio would have run out of money before the person is expected to die. This resulted in the 4% rule where you start withdrawing 4% the first year and then increase by inflation. It’s extremely unlikely that you’ll run out of money in a standard retirement period.
If you withdraw 3% or 2%, you won’t run out of money even if you live forever.
So let’s take a 2.5% withdraw rate. This is extremely conservative and should basically last forever. US government bond rates are typically higher than that (but not always), so we’re not even that tied to the stock market on this one. If you had $10M, take 2.5% the first year and increase by inflation each year after, you would perpetually have the purchasing power of $250k/year.
If you have $250k/year, you can live very comfortably anywhere on Earth. This is the part where someone always chimes in “what about the Bay area or New York?”
First, with this plan, you can live anywhere. You’re not tied to an area by a job. Maybe don’t chose high cost of living areas.
OK, let’s say there’s family or something else that’s specifically tying you to those areas. Median income in Manhattan is $106k, and the other burrows are significantly lower. San Fransisco median is $136k. I’m quite certain you can live comfortably on $250k in those areas if you absolutely had to for some reason.
Also, don’t forget that unlike all us working stiffs, you wouldn’t have to put another dime into a 401k or any other retirement plan. Your $10M already covers that. Feel free to spend it all on luxuries.
So that’s the limit. We can increase the $10M based on future inflation, but higher than that is just wanking about how much you have, and there’s no reason society should respect that.


How did Denmark end up being the bad guy in this? Volunteering for the role seems out of character, but who knows.


It’s been a very seamless experience with Bitwarden. Pretty much “click passkey, now logged in”.


Most of the sites I’ve seen use it as the single auth source. That said, using multiple forms of authentication in a layered model only improves security.


I use Bitwarden and it syncs it all up between devices.
The biggest annoyance is disabling Firefox’s popovers that tend to cover the Bitwarden popovers.


That’s the root of the problem. Nontechnical people don’t use good passwords, but all the ideas we have for replacing them are only usable by more technically minded people.
There are a variety of other reasons why passwords are bad, though.
Because humans are really, really hung up about sex in general, and we make it complicated. The idea of a potion that cuts right through all the bullshit sounds pretty good to just about everyone at some point in their lives.
