NotEvil··on Tell HN: SMS-based two-factor authentication is not secure
I have received advice from way to many people to not use your password manager as a 2nd factor be ause 1) It's actually become the only point if failure (your pw getting hacked). 2) Both factors protected and saved on the same spot

If they submit them from personal or anonymous email the patches may have come under more sucutiny.

NotEvil··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
Because of the nature of the research an argument can be made that it was like a bug bounty (not defending them just putting my argument) but they should have come clean when the patched was merged and told the community about the research or at least submitted the right patch.

Intentionally having bugs in kernel only you know about is very bad.

NotEvil··on Self-supervised learning: The dark matter of intelligence
I think you miss the point, it's not strictly about "it take 20 hour for an child to drive a car" and more of it can do this without external help. From your example, It's about how the child knows to stop at red light when he was never told that you have to stop at red light.
