Comment old school btc (Score 2) 26

This is old school pump and dump. not bitcoin, which is new school pump and dump.

Just like "unicorns", "weed stocks", "ev stocks" etc etc etc... they will valuate this thru the roof, IPO and dump.

Stock market is pure gambling now. The only advantage is that USA law requires your retirement manager to place bets. c'ching!

Submission + - Google disables usage of two-factor auth recovery code (google.com) 1

Submitted by nazsco
nazsco writes: Google is probably fighting securities issue or just regular screw up, but using security codes to recover your two-factor authentication (or get new disposable codes) is "disabled". It just send users into an infinite loop.

Who needs a working two-factor recovery anyway? Glad this is the company we will all depend on when security keys became the norm.

This is specially nice happening right after most pixel users will be losing their authenticator app installs.

Your phone company already do. and it is even cheaper as it is in bulky for everyone all the time.

Search for things like "3rd party consent". they reason that if you already gave consent of your calls to the phone company, you have no expectation of privacy for that data, so the gov can just request them WITHOUT any sort of warrant.

Comment The only documentation you need: (Score 3, Insightful) 108

the only documentation you need to write good documentation:

1. wipe out your dev environment (no, don't mean recreate a vm based your ready image)

2. recreate it only following your docs.

3. produce a full build that is usable to your use case. Again, only following your docs.

done. no step 4. no profit either. By the end of the exercise you will have good docs.

Just have to remember to run these steps every now and then.

this is nothing but a scam to give facebook some quick cash flow.

that service is garbage and only exist (and have users) because it is integrated on whatsapp and facebook.

the second fb have to sell it, they will spin off something else and use that, and the old service that they sold will be worth zero.

wrong.

The reviewers should not hunt for validity of data!

And the problem is exactly the journals themselves. They publish paper A. then they restrict access to paper A based on a time when publishing actually had a cost. So all scientists just email paper A around their friends. Now what happen if journal retracts paper A? nothing! because the journal is irrelevant after the paper was first published, even for distribution.

the journals dug that hole themselves.
