We have a 2 year old and we don't use our phones or devices when she's around unless it's a video call from family or an important phone call.
We're happy with the results so far since she's turned out to be a very patient, intelligent, and attentive child. She finds enjoyment in books, puzzles, drawing, cooking, gardening, cleaning, unloading/loading the dishwasher, laundry, and all sorts of activities her overstimulated peers would find boring nowadays.
2) In the Android app, do you know if there's a way to use the fingerprint feature without storing your master password or an encrypted derivative of it to non-volatile memory?
For those scratching their heads at #2, it's motivated by my lukewarm trust of vendor-implemented components of Android Keystore. Some competing apps address it by making you authenticate with the full password the first time after boot (or after the app is closed by the user / memory management system / configurable timeout) and just tie your fingerprint to an "unlock" pin of sorts that only works when the database is "hot".
Which apps handle this better? I'm not supremely concerned about my password being pulled from memory, from an attack surface perspective, but I am curious which apps address this best and how.
Not saying it's the best out there (and the UI is a little clunky as it often flashes a pin input screen that gets skipped over when using your fingerprint), but I like how Keypass2Android can be configured to do it. When you select "Enable Biometric Unlock for Quick Unlock" (and don't disable the PIN feature) you can use your fingerprint as long as the app is still in memory, without it storing your master password.
I know the Android Lastpass client would often prompt for a Master Password if it hadn't been used in a while, then let Fingerprints unlock it. I assumed it did something similar but haven't deep-dived the implementation.
For frying, I usually use a mixture of olive oil and butter. The oil slows down the process of the butter burning. It's certainly not as good as ghee, but ghee tends to make stuff greasy.
If you put butter into a pan that is too hot and it starts burning, it can be useful to cool things down by adding some oil. But the milk solids will always burn at a given temperature. A mixture of olive oil and butter won't let you cook at a higher temperature than just butter.
I lived in CDMX and this sound (among several others) made me resent the city. All the Mexican's I knew didn't mind it and seemed to tune it out. If you like peace and quiet, living in Mexico City is not for you.
Glad I'm not the only one! I visited with my girlfriend recently (she lived there a few years ago) and I immediately hated that recording. She seemed somewhere between indifference and endeared.
I actually really liked CDMX, but I also resent that sound.
I've had a few occasions that employees thought I worked for the company based on my email.
On one occasion, I was checking into a Hilton hotel and the employee thought I worked for corporate due to my email, hilton@domain.tld.
In the past, I used to explain to them how I control the domain and I have separate emails for every company due to spam reasons. However, this usually caused confusion so now I sometimes go along with what they think or hint that I'm some 'mystery shopper'.
I lived in Mexico for a few years but decided to leave last year after getting married and having a child. It's an awful place if you value things like safety, health, education, infrastructure, and most importantly, the rule of law.
For me all the news reports of kidnappings and violence were just background noise until it hit close to home. My wife's sister-in-laws family was kidnapped and badly beaten to the point where her brother developed a permanent mental handicap. They were released and are now scrambling to immigrate to the US.
In a separate incident, the person who organized our wedding was also kidnapped but never found.
These types of cases are so common here that they don't even make the news, whether local or national.
Every state and city in Mexico can be a different story, but it seems to change every year. Guadalajara seemed safe a few years ago and is now considered dangerous, for example. Yucatan seems like it has been safe for a decade.
Previous administrations have clearly abused their power with the DOJ, just look at how DACA was passed. Just because the large media outlets did PR for previous administrations or you agreed with their politics doesn't mean that abuses did not occur.
Other comments have explained why DACA isn't an example of DOJ overreach. I'd like to take a magnifying glass to the underlying reason to bringing up DACA in this context.
It's an Obama-era policy that has been shown to have wide, bi-partisan support across the country. Bringing it up here is a means to say "Look, Obama also did bad stuff. You can't call Trump out on his bad stuff" which is an asinine way to frame anything.
It reminds me of an old conservative response to progressive/leftist ideas about American foreign policy.
Leftist: "... and that's why the current administration should be considered as war criminals"
Conservative: "By that logic every administration since World War 2 were war criminals"
Leftist: "Yes"
Whether or not the argument posed by the above comment is even valid is, for the purposes of this comment, irrelevant. What is more interesting is knowing why the supposed crimes/overreach of the Obama administration excuses the overreaches of the Trump administration.
But in your war criminals dialogue, the “Yes” from the leftist provides cover to compress all administrations on the dimension of war crimes, dismissing LBJ/Nixon/GWB by saying “Carter was a war criminal too.”
He didn't say previous abuses didn't occur, he said he doesn't trust this administration to not have ulterior selfish political motives.
Edit: Also, poor form or not, I see the same patterns here as I do on threads about china and the people that took over bitcoin - votes up in increments, then all comments are downvoted multiple times in batches. That and lots of whataboutism.
Yes, that's whataboutism and what I was replying to. Instead of saying why the current administration can be trusted to not have ulterior motives, someone says 'other people also abused their position'. This isn't about comparison, it's about the motives of this move.
The same people that want voters to provide ID when voting are very against free national ID cards. There are plenty of games that you can play at the state level in discouraging or somehow confusing the ID issue (does the address have to up to date on your DL, or even the right state for college students?), which doesn’t apply when a national ID is considered (none of that info is on your passport, but it costs $100+ to get that).
You can say the same thing about the "far left". After hearing about how groups like Antifa are operating in Portland, I can unironically only think of one word to describe them: fascists
