eekthecat··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Yubikey?
Their official response is "because not all browsers support it".

It could be a valid business decision (I.e. uneven browser support will confuse our users and increase costs) but I think they are just using that as a delay tactic.

If their economy needs you, they let you in. If they don't, you don't. Simple as that.

Unless we abolish the concept of countries and all live in a global government of sorts, that's how it works _everywhere_.

eekthecat··on There’s graft, and then there’s Odebrecht graft
There's way more from where this came from. Brazil is a nightmare in that regard.

Probably because it was never a settlement colony, just a place to explore and take advantage of everything (and that permeates society to this day).

I think this bribery scandals displays a core characteristic of the Brazilian society.

eekthecat··on Ask HN: Why no stable binary kernel interface for drivers?
Stable API or not, every time there is a new NVIDIA driver, my Win10 boxes work and my Fedora/Ubuntu ones break. I doubt Microsoft is asking NVIDIA to keep their driver inside Microsoft repositories.
