My bank has been using this for a few years now, and it quickly became my preferred method of logging in. Open the bank app, scan the code, punch in a PIN on the phone and the browser bank opens almost like magic. Very easy to set up for non techies as well.

Tried to sign up with a 100 long password, was told max length is 32. What is the reason for this limit?

Dissolve land-use regulation, pay residents to allow developers to build new structures, and distort the market in favor of the renters by levying a land-value tax.

Is The Economist starting to support Georgism?

It definitely tickled some of the same parts of my curiosity. Grinding hard sci fi.

If by chance you missed it, there is a glossary at the end of the book. (I've seen some comments from people who didn't notice until they finished it.)

Also, if you enjoyed the Shaftoes and Waterhouses of Cryptonomicon, consider putting the Baroque Cycle before Seveneves.

27 here ("Wow, you have excellent colour vision.") with fairly typical red/green colorblindness. I also fail the the Ishihara plate (dots) test like clockwork.

Does this test different hues (or brightness even?) of the same color rather than the red/green blue/purple of the dots? (Can't tell myself, am after all colorblind.)

For some reason I believe that cosmetic gene modifications will be more readily accepted than GMOs.

Wow, TIL. Any idea why?

It is not a secret. It is a basic day to day task to optimize this. If you didn't you'd be out of business very quikcly.

Was expecting the usual story about air traffic control, an F16 and ground speeds, or the one with the flyover way too close to the tower, but this one was new to me. Thanks!

Time would only slow seen from their perspective. You would still experience 10000 years of travel time.

There is no way to live longer by traveling fast.

Is it still defaulting to "reply all"? That was a showstopper for me.

Which also lets you caclulate the weight of a document (say for shipping):

Standard printer paper is 80g/m2: A1 = 40g, A2 = 20g, A3=10g and A4=5g.

Or, alternatively, crumple up A4 sheets for quick 5g weights.

I think the claim made is that the powers that be are actively working against Bitcoin, here by tarnishing its reputation with sensationalist research.

From a guy selling cold fusion? Nah, it's legit.

If Rosling read this he would chide you for using the term "Western World" just like that, with at best an assumed definition. It is one of his pet peeves to stress that the world is no longer divided into the Developing world and The West.

I've been trying to contribute for over a day now, and I only get the message "We can't process your payment right now, so please try again later. We're sorry for the inconvenience."

In the meantime, the price is rising... Grr.

My bad, you are indeed correct.

The PP.no claims they are scheduled to meet him, something I have my doubts about.

The Pirate Party in Norway is claiming he will land in Oslo en route to Iceland.

UV fluorescents make it harder to find a vein.

Any plans to accept Bitcoin donations?
