It's a real strength of Gmail and some other Google interfaces — undo instead of warning dialog.

> Actual riots, insurrection, disruption of government, assaults on law enforcement, damage to government buildings, theft of government property, violence, and deaths, have occurred.

This describes the past half-year in Portland, Seattle, and more sporadically in many other cities.

I believe that no accounts on the Left: organizing, not merely advocating - have been permanently shut down.

So, I'm very skeptical that anything legitimate has changed. It feels very political.

Absolutely. The title isn't just sensational, it's misleading. OP's browser is opensource and uses a P2P-like architecture. It sounds incompatible with current rights management.

OP sounds like he feels entitled to others' work and efforts. If he wants to play videos in his browser, he can make them. Or find people who will make videos for free for him.

A very misleading title. But the content is nothing to get upset about. Reasonable people can easily disagree:

* Google didn't can can't block a new web browser from working. * OP is making an _opensource_ browser * OP's browser is specifically made for showing videos in some kind of P2P architecture. * OP is upset because he can't play some other peoples' videos in his new browser.

The R in DRM, standing for Rights is relevant: this isn't your content, OP. Thousands of creatives, artists, and investors put time, sweat and blood into these. They've chosen DRM as the way to get paid. You have no right to their content. If you don't like DRM then vote with your feet - watch others' content, and find another way to compensate them.

Taken literally, the article only highlights a correlation - introduction of the physical keys + absence of phishing. But Google may have introduced other security changes as well. The article doesn't go so far as to say that the switch to physical keys from SMS 2FA actually solved the problem on its own.

> ...thieves can intercept that one-time code by tricking your mobile provider into either swapping your mobile device’s SIM card or “porting” your mobile number to a different device.

Are these theoretical attacks? Has this ever actually happened?

The article only correlates the end of phishing with introduction of the physical keys. I'm wondering if it's really necessary - if typical 2FA via one-time pw to SMS is easily sufficient.

I wish GitLab would take whatever resources this has and put them all on site reliability.

They have a ton of open positions listed, but none are for Site Reliability Engineer.

Frequent slow requests and 5xx errors keep me from giving GitLab a real try.

I really doubt that's actually happening. For a long time there was a Vine forum, and the culture was definitely about reviewing as honestly as possible. I'd posted many positive but also many negative reviews before being selected for Vine.

It also seems like there are many more products needing reviews than reviewers. I've never worried about being negative.

And finally, the item is definitely not free:

* Amazon displays the tax value of each item we're offered for review, and reports it to the IRS if we choose it. So literally, the product is taxable income.

* Some items, like books, take a lot more time and effort, compared to their monetary value. But all items require time.

* Some items have collateral costs. Just a couple of examples: I once reviewed an AC/DC converter for the car which blew a fuse when I tried it out. That cost me a trip to the repair shop. Another time I reviewed a floor lamp which arrived destroyed in the box and left my living room speckled in glass shards and styrofoam pieces.

tldr; To me, it's a contractual relationship that I'll continue doing as long as it makes sense to me.

I'm an Amazon Vine reviewer ... Ask me anything.

I've been one for years. It's an odd insider culture, which is pretty hard to talk about with anyone else. There's a lot of competition among the "Viners" as we call ourselves. And there's also a lot of decision-making. E.g., is the tax-value income and time required actually worth it to me? Many, many times, it's not.
