    What a silly post…

    First, where are you going to find a 8% treasury bond? Even a few months ago, when they were giving record yields, it didn’t even get close to that.

    Second, if you borrow $3m with high interest rates (needed to get high yield treasurys) you’ll also pay a high rate on your loan. Duh.

    This is correct. Ive helped a bunch of people (in Linux) complaining that chrome was eating all their ram when in fact it wasn’t. Memory management is hard and it’s easy to look at the wrong indicators.

    It does love its ram but not as much as people think.




  • It’s a circus out there…

    One of my financial institutions supports yubikeys, but does not have the option to turn off sms 2fa. A chain is as strong as the weakest link, as usual.

    Another only has sms 2fa and bizarrely allows me to specify any phone number at login time to receive the code. WTF?

    Most only have 2fa via sms. When you talk about using an authenticator app people bitch and moan because they have to cut and paste those digits into the login page. Oh, the humanity…

    Don’t even get me started on sites with “roll your own” schemes, like forcing you to install their app (which requires all permissions under the sun) just to accept a push message and allow you to login on their website.
