The problem with sports scores is that it would be trivial to procedurally generate signed messages ahead of time for thousands of different team names and scores, and then select one that matches the eventual reality.

There is a solution for which time is running out but is currently still possible. You can find someone selling a used, perfectly good television made in the era right before every single TV was a "smart" TV.
He says he noticed while watching Vasilevskiy that after having dropped he did not immediately spring back up as his team carried the puck out, but eventually did before the other team regained control -- "but he didn’t really need to", because Dryden, wrongly, thinks that when the team returns to the zone Vasilevskiy should face them from his knees.
Every NHL goalie plays much of the game on their knees, as they should, because they end up there in response to low shots and close-approaching shooters. What Dryden is wrong to imply is that they should adopt this as their default posture.
As I reread I see that even worse, he downplays the danger of adopting this position leading to taking a slap shot to the helmet, saying a modern goalie mask protects the head "as much as a catching glove does the hand". Just utterly false. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-concerned-by-rise-in-goalie-concussio...
Of course I read the article. See the paragraph beginning: "Really, the biggest reason for a goalie to get off his knees is that if he doesn’t, people might notice.", and the two paragraphs preceding it.
And that is what makes it so disappointing. Dryden -- who is a genius, a brilliant writer, and one of the most accomplished NHL goaltenders ever -- is absolutely wrong on the point that goaltenders should just stay on their knees all game.
NHL shooters have no problem hitting the uppermost part of the goal at will, and a goaltender on his knees simply doesn't cover enough of that area. This is a 6'5" goalie in that position (presumably having dropped down from upright after the shot is taken): https://www.1stohiobattery.com/columbus-blue-jackets-news/20...
If the shooter is 5 or more feet away, and has a couple seconds to set up a shot, and the goaltender is on his knees, it is virtually an automatic goal. Someone employing the strategy Dryden suggests should be the standard would lose every game for their team.
This takes away from his other very good commentary about the aesthetics of the game changing.
Good idea. Unfortunately any 2FA using a phone number (SMS or phone call) is highly insecure -- see Jack Dorsey having his Twitter hijacked, or any number of people having bitcoins stolen from Coinbase. That implementation should be marked with a big red X, not a green checkmark.
It's not the same. If you're used to typing without looking at your keyboard, a fake key on the touchbar does not compare to an actual key where you can feel without looking that your finger is in the right place, and can know by the key travel that you've actually pressed it.
It's pretty much the same as the difference between a car where the air conditioner and radio knobs are a touch screen vs. being real knobs that you can safely adjust while driving.
The author of the OP lists in his LinkedIn profile things that he wants and does not want in a job, but saying "I am not interested in X" is a little counterproductive if that causes your profile to come up in keyword searches for "X".
For related reasons I no longer mention on my resume that I have Magento experience. :)
Thanks for the kind words. The ability to improve people's daily lives, as you described, was a big reason a lot of us chose to work there and something we were hoping to see at a larger scale eventually. Today's news came as a shock to most of us.
Good point, although the report states 3 billion user accounts were breached but this doesn't mean 3 billion people. I am guessing the vast majority of accounts did not contain any sensitive information.
And maybe insurance isn't the right word; the risk should probably fall to the company holding the data, not a third party who would never be able to audit every single step to ensure there is no weak link.
This could be a voluntary insurance that companies purchase on behalf of their users. If the company suffers a breach, they will be bound to pay X amount to their users depending on the data lost.
Dress it up with a fancy badge to slap on the front of their site. Maybe a silver badge means user data is insured up to $10 each; a gold badge is up to $100; platinum up to $1000.
You could add a "tip jar" to allow followers to support someone by buying Tweets for them, so that high-signal accounts would seldom have to pay that fee.
The LAY-trobe phenomenon is real and something that outsiders have picked up on in my speaking (as a fellow Latrobean) after I moved away. My theory is that Latrobe as an adjective is "LAY-trobe" and the noun pronunciation is "lah-TROBE"; not really sure if that holds up to scrutiny though.
