Yes, and mining is the process of using as much energy as you possibly can to guess a magic number before everyone else can, leading to massive amounts of wasted energy for every wrong guess.

One time me and @hak5darren sent a fake Microsoft tech support scammer goatse after keeping them on the phone for an hour.

Imagine gatekeeping an industry where one of the primary skills is Googling things.

But while the industry still clings to things like AD, and product teams throughout tech still demand support for password, we have to support it while offering a path to the future.

Yes, we all are fully aware that the password is the problem. Thats why the best identity platforms will support many different factors and will strive to be fully passwordless and platform agnostic (supporting new factors as they are created via standards)

I'm still struggling to understand how a person with such a reasonably impressive background can think that they are offering profound insight when they are just rambling on about the obvious and getting hung up on the wrong part of the tech.

YouTube should prompt users with a “You haven’t finished watching this video yet are you sure you want to comment?” message so they don’t waste their time asking questions you already answered - or cherry pick something you follow up & expand on. Would also support watch time.

🤔 can I use it as motivator?

Not going to engage w anyone with “did:” unironjcally in the handle 😛

"OK, all done, everything packed up and.....dammit!!" :)
