That both sides are playing singing traditional victim songs is mild surprise.
To someone disinterested in this exchange in particular and more curious about the trends across iterations, it's an unusual sort of conflict. They're wars with battles that aren't determined by power or numbers, but appeal. You win an exchange by vilifying your opponent as the violent, uncivilized barbarian, not with weapons. Today's weapons are the words "rights, protected, freedom, defend" - no matter which side you're on. You all sound like the histogram of a lobbyist.
It's like a bunch of athletes rolling around, clutching their knee and making the most grotesque face possible, while their counterparts throw their hands back and shoot innocent faces at the referee. Clowns, all of you. Look at these posts. "You're not the victims, we are. We're not the violent ones, THEY are." Us-them thinking is psych101, tribal banding for simple minds, easily confused (into more screaming) by splinter groups and gray classes and everyone crowding under the same noble banner.
If either of you are worried about the state of the world, the future, society's blah blah blah maybe do something about the terrafoam we'll both be living in 50 years from now. This might as well be a pissing content. In another dimension.
"get em while they're young" is no joke. The phrase implies long-term, but kids are an expense as is - an expense you can "leverage". And you can be damned sure Disney will want to know which animals get their attention, which shapes/colors, which GUI elements. They can sell it, but they're their own biggest customer.
Enforced or not, it will just be written off as the cost of doing business. Rounding error hand slaps, same shit new company.
If you'd like to make the argument that (common) passphrases are words in a larger alphabet yet, I'd allow it. But the scale is exponentially higher than when I used the same logic to claim "correcthorsebatterystaple is a four-letter password". I didn't decry it because it's popular (at this point it's long since been manually added to tables, the verbatim form checked very early).
If we're overlooking a gap that large to indulge an argument against phrases, then the gap between superman and Sup3rm@n is even more trivial, and does not warrant mention.
Tables used by crackers have long evolved since 1991. That tool you describe is now their first millisecond. Yes, "superman" would shatter, right in the first sweep - no rainbow tables no hybrid mods just an instant dictionary pwn - but "Sup3rm@n" would be right behind it. Dan Goodin has discussed these tables in the past
The other variable was the account holders' decision to use memorable words. The characteristics that made "momof3g8kids" and "Oscar+emmy2" easy to remember are precisely the things that allowed them to be cracked. Their basic components—"mom," "kids," "oscar," "emmy," and numbers—are a core part of even basic password-cracking lists. The increasing power of hardware and specialized software makes it trivial for crackers to combine these ingredients in literally billions of slightly different permutations.
Steube was able to crack "momof3g8kids" because he had "momof3g" in his 111 million dict and "8kids" in a smaller dict.
It will be a while before google's AIs (who else but Alphabet) have catalogued all human speech and phrases into a database and a well-rounded cracker integrates it usefully into tables the scene use. And unless the whole chain is kept frequently maintained, pop culture (spongebob may be a bit stale) will be easy to remember while resilient. Yes, phrases are still made of words from dictionaries, but saying "technology will catch up to phrases" is like saying "technology will catch up to nine-character bruteforcing".
It will be - oops, you're too late - before crackers are aware of common substitutions and methods everyone is using worldwide. Swapping an 'e' into a '3' does jack fucking shit. And yes, they know exactly what qrafzvwtsgxb is on a keyboard, even if we don't (hint, left hand moving downwards).
puzzle and dynamite are equally good (equally poor) passwords. dynamite isn't length 2 longer than puzzle. Both are length 1 from an alphabet of 2000 common dictionary words.
This. correcthorsebatterystaple is a four-letter password in a bigger alphabet* without mods. Most of which offer little resilience gains for their complexity tax.
superman is a weak password Sup3rm@n is equally weak, fuck your fucking retarded website so0p!$erm^an is strong but has too much complexity tax
More recall tax means its going to be 1) reused more [the true pox] 2) forgotten more 2) changed less often 4) more likely to be written down, under keyboards, notecard, stickies. Mental recall is only good for N passwords with Z complexity, even less if you have to start all over again at F frequency.
rrrybgdts is a nursery rhyme. I will always advocate for passphrases. Does your child like spongebob and Bob the Builder? Don't use his birthday; wliapcwfi will never be in the tables. I find this to be the best resilience-complexity tradeoff possible.
*yes, I know, it's still resilient by being at the fourth power, but it's more abstract than phrases and more complexity tax = more bad practice. Get over the length hype, cracker tables don't give a fuck, no one brute forces past ~6 = wasted fucking lesson.
It's just good business. Self-optimizing systems trying to squeeze onto the capitalism glacier. It literally makes the most sense to push your work conditions until they're shitty enough that you're able to take advantage of the eight student loans, four immigrants, and unconvicted "felon" waiting outside. All in short order, to make room for more. We haven't had working AC since 1997 and they're lined up around the block to get in, lol.
Yes, it's disgusting. We don't even treat machines this way. Run it as hot as you can, even when it's creaking and cracking, run it until it breaks.
But it's optimal. And won't stop until otherwise. We have incentivized this and the system answered.
All incognito does is stifle some local machine stuff.
Works good if you're 14 and parents aren't savvy enough to spot your porn. If you have a shared (lolwut) machine. If you think your girlfriend is nosing around in your machine.
This. You're not throwing one wrench at one machine.
You're spewing whatever you can at an invisible army who are all using a thousand different sets of conditions, scopes, techniques etc. and you usually can't tell what sticks. It doesn't matter, throw anyway, if only for the principle of it.
Being less harvestable than the Next Guy may also help, as sister post mentions.
There might be a discussion for bootups eating battery, but if you want an app to have performance RAM (and everyone writes their "mobile" bloatstains to waste plenty) you'll need to close recent apps. Not older ones, since iOS will silently kill those sessions (the slot in Recent becomes a placebo) as it desires. Hope it wasn't anything important.
This only matters for limited cases, say a phone game. And probably affects you less if you're overpaying (either for a laughable contract or the $800 iSubscription) to always have the latest models.
Modern humans are one thing, but we were the running champions. Being undisputed masters of shedding heat and sweating led to obscenely long stalking capability. We specced for upper body strength to add points in Throw, to deliver infected wounds, then chased and harassed scared, stressed out things, haunted them day and night, in our monkeysocial packs that can navigate any terrain and run forever. We were horror movie serial killers. I'm just now adding a new thought: Maybe we captured prey live, broke its limbs and such, and dragged prizes home as they looked on in terror.
But if you're asking ME to run 30 seconds I will probably disappoint you.
It seems like a big, eventual, exposing gesture. My understanding is tapered tails are for running and balance and such, would allow more forceful or dextrous thrusts from the rest of the body/head. It's too much risk of your bipedal body ending up on the ground, a vulnerable state that probably took rexes effort to get out of.
If it's just a question of mass and assumes the rex committed to the maneuver, yeah, I say it'd wobble some body types. Knock down a bipedal.
Scroll down and there's 9000 MBAs chatting away when this whole conversation is basically "There is no absolute way to know the future." ie the viability of the investing.
This whole headline is probably the result of some pointed question from the "CURRENT QUARTER THO" gallery. Shareholders wet themselves if there isn't 9000% growth this quarter, every quarter.
Personally I'm happy when a corp moves their gains around, not piles them up and shrugs.
Capital systems are self-optimizing. They will, by definition, flow downhill towards min costs and max revenue.
Theoretically, sure, personify Apple as "Some Guy" and he could fucking buy Africa, pay enough to draw in half the continent to eagerly mine, buy Taiwan and repurpose every factory.
But there isn't "A Guy" there's just a not-conscious not-organism that can't help but profit. I'm not shooting for morality here, just measuring our expectations.
Some, probably. The masses probably use easier "tricks" like rotation. Those are easier moles to whack, but it's still whack-a-mole and still futile and the tools of commoners will nestle in the classic feedback valley that balances 1) method difficulty, obscurity, resilience (whack cost); vs 2) likelihood/frequency of mole whack from Our Betters
I've heard that they'll use substitute words to dodge filters. When they want to refer to a certain politician, location, event (tiananmen square?) they'll carefully choose words that sound similar, or use a visually-similar kanji script. Naturally there will be a list of regulars (eg "emperor cheeto") that circulate, then overcirculate and get whacked, to be reborn with a new substitution.
Every inch of commercial psychmanip is kept "secret". Music, color, placement - did you know Disneyland tinkered with smell vents in their park? Around the food areas, I believe was the plan.
You might not because they kept it "secret".
Yes, I quote clawed the air above my keyboard for you.
It's lightweight and simple on first-glance, with a whole field of gears and levers under the hood, so while slim it's capable.
I like quick yet swissarmyknife. Irfanview opens instantly, hotkeys easily, but has a pile of functionality if I want it. They're not always wieldly, but they were added by request of a geek user or outright authored by one. Same for old winamp. Same for... old firefox? Palemoon I guess. And same for MPC.
Just yesterday, yesterday, I was playing a show episode with audio that was ~600ms off sync. I knew I could find an option for it, even if poking around the menus was awkward and unintuitive, the feature itself would be simple and potent. And eventually, yes, a simple box that says "Audio delay (in ms): __"
So have your itunes, have your VLC, your chrome, I want something built by users for users, even if it's ugly.
>Consumers have spoken and prefer Uh, no, reduced sales at greater margin means exactly the opposite of that, but with more profits. The part that matters, far more than your illusions.
Preference means shit. Profit means all. I'm not saying there's a solution, I'm not recommending regulation, I'm not even rebuking worship of the commercial altar, I'm just making sure we're all clear about a very old, very permanent reality:

Just simulate all the things.
It's what we do now, look at 500,000 player hours and say "lol no one above 10th percentile is using ice bolt oops we wasted time developing it"
Simulating them overnight lets you polish it before even launching. And save money from making QA slaves play for 5,000 hours.

Do the companies realize we flocked to netflix so long ago because it DID solve the problem?
