Of course it matters. Even if we assume someone figured out how to own the 2FA system, that knowledge doesn't magically make its way into the brain of every script kiddy capable of credential stuffing a login form. They're two totally different vectors with different surface area.
My thought is that it’s not really 2FA, and 2FA means temporary tokens, and there’s a method to gain entry with just login+token, e.g. via password reset.
If you want to deliver security then MFA is an interesting strategy that needs careful consideration and planning, you might end up building things like Security Keys so as to solve real threats. You might fix real problems (Google eliminated phishing) at your organisation.
But if your goal is to bamboozle fools into giving you their real money in exchange for Itchy and Scratchy money that you may or may not then "lose" then you don't need all that hard work. Take whatever nonsense you cobbled together and say it's "Two factor" because that means "good" to people who don't know any better.
This is hilarious. This company is literally at the apex of the crypto industry and this is the kind of mistake they make. Yeah, immutable smart contracts written by their fellow proponents will also save the world lol
Calling crypto.com anything near "apex of the cryptocurrency industry" is a very broad lie. Crypto.com is for people who just "wanna invest in crypto and get rich", others who are actually involved in the space (developers, companies and others) are nowhere near crypto.com as they have proven time and time again they are not serious about anything, even the basics like security.
I would argue that by you giving the torch to crypto.com as the company that caters to casual users that "just wanna invest and get rich", it is indeed one of the apexes of the industry. A product successfully marketing a fringe and specialized technology to the average consumer is just that.
Is it? I'm not sure of numbers of total accounts but anyone who knows anything about crypto is suspicious of crypto.com as a platform and I don't know anyone who uses it when things like coinbase are available. They just bought an expensive URL and spammed a bunch of ads. If that makes them the apex of the industry I guess CALL THE GENERAL AND SAVE SOME TIME is the apex of the car insurance industry.
This is a common play in several industries. Art of Shaving markets itself well to casual people interested in traditional shaving products but they take regular products, mark them up by a lot, rebrand and then upsell. Nobody claims Art of Shaving is the apex of shaving. Best Buy does similar marketing in regard to electronics, but Best Buy certainly isn't the apex of electronics retailers. What makes you think cryptocurrency companies would be any different?
It's basically a digital gold standard and the gold standard hasn't lead to an enlightened society either.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
For me there are really only two alternatives. Negative interest on cash or competition among currencies (free banking). All those people shouting that Bitcoin should become the global reserve currency don't actually understand that a global reserve currency is a terrible idea and are only in it for the money.
Isn't this equivalent to saying the entire health industry is fake and untrustworthy because of Theranos? I don't it looks kind of same to me, and sounds absurd.
And you are not asked to do this while logging in again. It is assumed you know why you have to reauthenticate and that you have to re-add 2FA in your app settings…
As a Snr Eng in one of the FAANG, my _personal_ list:
- interesting problem domain (which does not necessarily mean trendy): this is about selling to others why the problem and your company matters
- equity/career progression: (controversial comment incoming...) a strong Snr in a FAANG will most likely be a CTO/VP type of leader in a startup, so provide generous equity
- freedom in terms of decision making: present (business) problems and let people go and tackle them, you don't want to be micromanaging
- freedom in terms of work/life balance: let people manage their schedules, being fully remote, location independent - stuff that most FAANGs will struggle to compete with
Does anyone know how exactly is the Police integration done with Rekognition? I mean, they must have it integrated into their IT systems, right? Who did that integration? AWS itself? Or some consulting companies? Or the PD's Tech Department?

The politicians as well as activists involved in this train-crash showed what the consequence is of electing and pandering to people that think it is possible to be factually wrong while morally right.
You can't be morally right while lying, and lack of interest/humility in search for truths relevant to important responsibilities you are taking on is no excuse. Living with someone that believes in that is not a good life, and being governed by such people is even worse.
It's not enough to hold a belief... in our system, action is required. I think this is why young people are so frequently screwed by political decisions and policy - we are, uncoincidentally, the age group that votes least often.
Voting alone is not enough. In some parts of the world, like Australia, voting is mandatory and as a result lot of people just vote randomly.
A good education in civics and history is necessary, as is a belief in the political system and a desire to make a difference in the world through political action. Finally, a strong and independent media that does a lot of deep investigative journalism and does a good job of providing context and background on important issues instead of catering to the lowest common denominator is key, as without it people are much more easily manipulated and mislead.
As a politics major from an Australian university, and as someone who now lives in Norway. You’re about 50% right.
Yes in Australia mandatory voting has some people who “donkey vote” or as you call it “vote randomly” that percentage is almost all the 18-22 range. It’s not till they have to sit through a full one or two election cycles before they start to give a shit.
As such my generation has seen the bullshit that’s been handed to us, we won’t stand for it. It is generational because of the two major parties, their “young” version hasn’t had anyone transition from the young party to the major party for members of GenX. It’s only now when the boomers are retiring are we starting to see some younger blood. Why? Cause those that didn’t give a shit, now care and it’s a huge wave of people.
Politics are so much more left here in Norway, because people are educated and give a shit. The fucking Christian Right party just came up with the policy to decriminalise all drugs because putting people in jail and fining them wasn’t working. So why not try to help them with counsellors instead. No fines, no jail time... just help if they want it.
What’s Australia doing? Well we just voted to dump a bunch of shit in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef because it’s inconvinent for the super rich assholes to ship their exports around it. Got to make a way through it for the ships.
believing in a system where you have to be vigilant 24/7 is very counterproductive.
The fact that our system was corrupted to the point of requiring it is not a point to elate! it is a point to contempt.
> the age group that votes least often.
That's a very disingenuous argument that you yourself refuted in the first paragraph...If it doesn't matter only voting, does voting alone matters? At which point is political participation enough participation? voting, attending every single local and federal meeting? at which point will it suffice? Should everyone drop their profession and become professional politicians just to have a modicum of voice in the system?
As long as we allow absurd amounts of money in politics, nobody will have a voice. no matter how much you vote or post online.
When you are filling your taxes, after writing the "owned amount" in box 22 or your 1040, say it out loud "it is OK i am paying 40% of my income, because amazon deserves to pay zero since they did participate in politics, unlike me".
>because amazon deserves to pay zero since they did participate in politics, unlike me
Stop repeating this meme. Amazon paid no income tax because of carried losses, which has absolutely nothing to do with its involvement in politics and carrying losses is available to every business (including sole proprietorships).
Amazon makes money: I suspect you would say "they make too much money!"
Amazon loses money: you say "they lose on purpose!"
What position would you be happy with? Your position reminds me of arguments I used to have with religious zealots in my family - when people have a religious or moral objection to something (large businesses in this case), then whatever the offending party does is 'sinful' in some way and must therefore be criticized, whether it makes logical sense or not
The fact that my argument reminds you of something doesn’t make the analogy true. But I appreciate the rhetorical device of calling me a religious zealot. Well done!
Amazon is wildly profitable, if they ever have a loss, it is manufactured. An accounting trick. When they start having real unavoidable losses, we can talk again.
the context is the ny deal and I extrapolated a little too be more realistic representative. do the exercise with your state tax, if it will help you not think this is a meme.
2) "that 'to be a progressive, there must be progress.'"
Lately (the last couple of decades) I believe that politicians should shut up, and that technocrats should take over. Especially "progressive" politicians, they are the ones that make me hold my wallet tighter in my pocket. I am just tired of cheap words and no actions.
Note: I am 100% pro-democracy and pro-elections, without interference by ANYONE, and that includes any three-letter-agencies of this world (KGB, CIA, xyz) meddling anyone's elections.
I don't live anywhere near NY, I understand the frustration of the people who feared that the local economy would be disrupted/changed dramatically. A cousin of mine keeps saying "it's better to share a bowl of honey than having a bowl of poop all to yourself". I think that those who forced Amazon to flee will enjoy their bowl of poop, no matter how they will try to spin it.
