I use a Yubikey for access control for my personal laptop. My experience:
* I bought one spare just in case I lose the main key. This is recommended by Yubi.
* I got another spare just in case either of the two primary keys blows it's cookies. This is recommended by me because I used to do firmware for rotating mass storage devices. Hardware goes bad.
* All three must be configured identically with the Yubi Personalization Tool. Relatively easy.
* Now I've got 3 keys, none of which can fall into enemy hands. This is more work, worry and responsibility than a single key, but I think the pluses outweigh the minuses.
How ironic, in so many ways, that someone named after Mary Magdelene would lead a team creating the initial phase of artificial humans. Philosophy students and scholars are going to be busy with that.
I am SICK AND TIRED of moderators being abusive and censoring my posts to -1. Nobody addresses my posts and explains why they belong at -1. My posts are of a high quality, yet they get censored very quickly and nobody ever bothers to justify the censorship....
* From what I've seen, Slashdot moderators are accused of being both pro and anti President Trump, pro and anti Hillary, pro and anti American and pro and anti matter.
* Consider:
Some people regard themselves as perfect, but only because the demand little of themselves -- Hermann Hesse
... The usernames of moderators censoring these posts should be made public....
IVF and women say no. They don't really care about sex, yeah they enjoy it. But they really want a kid.
Sexbots for women will open jars, kill spiders, and take out the garbage. Then humanity really will go extinct.
And clean the toilets before they really need it. Put on a new roll of TP the "right" way. Empty the dishwasher. Laugh while watching reruns of "Friends", "Sex in the City" and "Seinfield". Cry during movies like "The Notebook". Talk about their AI feelings. Volunteer to sweep and vacuum. And clean the cat litter box daily.
If my wife that had one that did 80% of that she'd sic a slaughterbot on me.
The lithospheric mantle is composed of politicians; an incredibly dense material. Sound waves and thermal gradients pass easily through this layer. Money, on the other hand, is readily absorbed by the same material. Strangely, truth is reflected but with, as yet, explainable phase shifts or distortions.
No such thing as global climate change.
Even if there was such a thing as global climate change,it's completely irrelevant because it's definitely not caused by humans. It happens all the time.
Even if humans did have something to do with it, it's completely irrelevant because there's nothing anyone can do at this point to eliminate, reduce or remediate it.
Even if there was something we could do about it, it's completely irrelevant because that would cost too much money.
Even if, in the overall scheme of things, it would cost less to do something about it than it would cost to not do something about it, either of those might cause my taxes to go up, and that's completely unacceptable. Bottom line - my 401k is more important than the future of humanity. Tough s**t guys. End of story.
The problem with that is that kickstarter is full of half-baked ideas and people trying to sell some random thing they dug up on Alibaba as their own creation.
Personally, what I would want to see instead of a list of very well curated kickstarter projects. A list somebody went through and determined that:
The project is actually physically possible.
"It’s kind of fun to do the impossible." — Walt Disney
The project is actually doable with the skills and tools the maker has.
The project is actually novel, and not simply reselling an existing one.
The project as described makes sense to experts in the associated discipline and seems workable
"The world doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?" — Pablo Picasso
The maker actually understands what they're getting themselves into and have the knowledge and resources to produce it.
"We had no idea what we were getting into. We thought we were just doing this little vampire movie in Portland. There was just a lot of silliness, a lot of hijinks and bad behavior." — Elizabeth Reaser (actress in the "Twilight" series of movies)
(optionally) The product actually has some sort of practical use to it.
"Things don’t have to change the world to be important." — Steve Jobs
Such a list would go a long way highlighting the people with a good idea that can actually be realize, and bring more money to those who are truly deserving.
...snipsnip... a regular complaint... will go straight to the company whose offense triggered a consumer to lodge a complaint....snipsnip...
Which is totally useless. The f**king swine who call me don't ever give their real name or use their real phone number. None of the calls are from the company they reference or claim to represent. I do not have the resources or knowledge to track down the parties responsible.

That second socket was innocent man, it was collateral damage.
This represents all the people who suffered from the fake penicillin. Collateral damage.
The bag is their terrible plug
Yea. The second plug. This is definitely Harry Lime. Orson Welles. But who is Anna (Harry's girlfriend) in this tale? Tired Legs? Weary Buttcheeks? Man, you got my head all turned around.
People just love conspiracy theories and will make up facts to create a better story and further their agenda.
We're all story-tellers at heart.
Pathetic little people.
No need to get judgmental. The facts can speak for themselves.
But the truth is that the ending of this investigation just proves how corrupt the FBI is and how the Deep State has taken control of our government.
Bravo. An excellent demonstration of your conspiracy theory proposition.
And I'd also like to point out that we haven't heard much from Stormy Daniels lately. Coincidence?! I think not!!
Stormy Daniels has had a sex-change operation and is secretly married to Hillary. Their offspring, conceived using alien DNA, are the templates for a clone army being created, raised and trained on secret child sex-worker enslavement camps on Mars. When the time comes, they will board fleets of DC-9s and travel to Earth and unleash their ungodly mental powers, turning all Americans into zombie-like zombies.
No[. H]ardware is harder due to having to deal with physical reality, and getting less chances to fix
That "physical reality" bit is correct but IMHO really glosses over the vast number of physical limitations and constraints that hardware has to deal with. Beyond the electrical design there's the physical layout (real-estate) kingdom. Limitations in layout, or any of the following, sometimes require changes to the electrical design which then modifies the layout. This loop can repeat.
* Power consumption limitations
* Voltage and ground routing
* RF constraints
* Timing constraints
* Providing for embedded testing
Then there's the material physics and chemistry required for fabbing the freaking thing.
Considering that this tool could be used by the various gov't TLA agencies, physical security features of the device may be a requirement, like features to prevent or forestall reverse engineering or obscure algorithms implemented in the circuitry.
I think if software had similar constraints, a program would have to be written in assembly language, SQL, APL and Javascript, all combined and interspersed in the same file, where each language would be restricted to a different subset of alphanumeric characters. Code would have to be written in rows and columns. "If" statements would not allowed to be near looping constructs.
You say "BSD" more than my preacher says "God" or "Jesus" or "Blessed Virgin Mary" combined. Almost as much as he says "I need a fu*king drink" or "get them pants off, boy". Not that it matters. I'm just sayin...
How much did the gov't spend to recover that $3.6 cash? And they tracked $20 million in total transactions? That seems pretty light-weight. One US state had over $600 million in MJ sales the first year it was legalized. Ok, so they recovered some opioids and fentanyl, much to dismay of Trump supporters, but damn, guys. Show me the cocaine.

Moderation is censorship. It needs to stop.
One thing I have learned about chores. If you want some alone time where no one will interrupt what you are doing, go do the dishes.
No one dares.
The guy next door puts on headphones and runs his riding mower on glacial speed. He gets hours of alone-time.
There's no shortage of soyboys these days for women who want effeminate men.
Yea I drink soymilk. Should have mentioned that my wife is essentially house-bound due to health issues.

Not really "Classic" unless it's corded. Serial or PS/2 DIN. I might accept a USB 1.0.
All it takes is one yahoo with a backhoe who decided to get an early start on his Fourth of July party.

If I burn the hydrogen + oxygen, say in a kiln or furnace, would the net cost per thermal units be cheaper then burning natural gas or propane?
