Such strategies are remarkably effective, and maybe arguably describes all security in a nutshell.
Every time I notice an obscure feature in a Google product or service and go "hm, I wonder if that could be exploited", I then always go "...meh, it'll take too long and require too much concentration to figure it out."

- exikyut 6y agoWow, this guy is mad https://twitter.com/jonaslyk https://twitter.com/jonaslyk I can't help but picture him as a sysadmin walking away from a bunch of servers that are mysteriously 40% faster than ever before, but then he gets stopped at the door of the datacenter by some unimpressed looking lawyers who glare at him until he puts everything back Thanks for the reference, and fair point, yeah that's not how it works at scale.
