A better example is to explain the chaos of having to go to the grocery store and pick up some hot dogs and buns. You know the pain.

100k voters attended. Not surprised it doesn't look the same as 100k people.

I'm not an expert, but can you not be both?

And even if it was, it would be the right move. The last thing we want is to stop risk management because there's only 2 hours left and the door hasn't fallen off so far.

I was a mix-up that was quickly resolved because the baby they gave my mom had the wrong bits. It happened again with my sibling. And my other sibling. For the exact same reasons. We all joke that none of us are really related.

But it really makes you think...

From my understanding it's the concept of trust. Basic passwords are complete trust that both ends are who they say they are, on a device that is trusted, and passing the password over the wire is sufficient and nobody else tries to violate that trust. Different types of techniques over time have been designed to reduce that level of trust and at a fundamental level, passkeys are zero trust. This means you don't even trust your own device (except during the initial setup) and the passkey you use can only be used on that particular device, by a particular user, with a particular provider, for a particular service, on their particular hardware.....etc. If at any point trust is broken, authentication fails.

Remember, this is ELI5, the whole thing is more complex. It's all about trust. HOW this is done and what to do when it fails is way beyond EIL5. Again, this is from my own understanding, and the analogy of hardware passwords isn't too far off.

Or what? A slap on the wrist?

Given that Chinese fortunes aren't fortunes and are usually proverbs....it'll probably be something like "You can walk on water too, if it's cold enough."

I was always told the bugs use moonlight for navigation, and artificial light of any kind throws them off. But as a kid, I didn't question it and there was no reason to verify or prove it. It was simple and made sense. I'm not saying my interpretation was common sense, but I also never heard someone say bugs fly to light for warmth. My 7 yr old ass would probably question how bugs existed before fire or something stupid.

No. The fallacy is believing that the stories of military service will straighten people right up is flawed. Certainly it has the potential to do that, but you ignore:

  1. Most people already know empathy before joining.
  2. The worst of the worst get kicked out.
  3. Lessons will stick after the fact.

What you get is survivorship bias. Of course the people who aren't getting entry level discharged or dishonorable discharge have the qualities needed to have or learn empathy, following orders and working as a team.

Fact is, military isn't a perfect fit for everyone, and forcing people to do so runs against cohesiveness, morale and effectiveness. It should only be used in the most dire of situations.

Mirroring this onto service industries wouldn't be effective at all for the people that need it. I would argue it would make it worse, as these people would see it more of a punishment than a lesson, and only serve to drag down and consume resources for the vast majority of individuals who don't need the lessons.

Bought stove last March. Was cooking on it in Dec and the glass top melted. It's clearly melted and the glass is not cracked. Called it in, and they lost my claim. I sent another and they sent out their own specialist. The guy was a Samsung shill, and he only looked at the stove and, without talking to me as I'm standing there, called it in and said it was cosmetic damage caused by user. He then left telling me that my stoves warranty ran out 3 months after I bought it and that I had to call it in again to get their determination. I did, and they said the claim was closed out citing I caused the damage.

So, either Samsung thinks I took a blowtorch to it, or they refuse to perform a proper diagnostic or send an independent technician. They would prefer my house to burn down, than to admit even a little bit of fault. Worse still, I don't know what to do, because any action I take would get ignored (they haven't responded to bbb or states consumer protection reports and both have no legal authority to make them). Trying to repair it myself would allow them to push harder on user fault, and I don't have money to take legal action.

If that wasn't bad enough, my sister is going through the same thing with a dryer she bought that died 4 days before the warranty expired.
