The common argument "copyright period should be shortened from 95-120 years down to 10-20 years" is compatible with a criticism of the described activities because the described activities took place in less than 10 years. The com

But in c++ when there's undefined behavior, the spec specifically says there's undefined behavior. It doesn't sound like the spec is specifically saying there's undefined behavior in this case.

Yes, but malicious intent for the purpose of having fun watching the reaction. Not malicious intent for the purpose of personal gain, long term access, or government intelligence.

So you're saying that it was an intentional thing, and not just a bug? PhasmaFelis was agreeing that it was just a bug, and that's what I was replying to.

So if I have a banned account I can cause arbitrary people to be banned simply by following them? It doesn't seem like a good idea to give me that power.

But this isn't some random person like it is with someone messaging a youtuber. This is someone they have a previous relationship with, receiving and rejecting proposals, and who they took a specific action against, to block on twitter

It does effect the people who want to watch those videos, because once the humans at youtube are alerted about the problem, the videos are put back up, as in the case of the blender videos. But if it was an intentional human takedown, the v

You're right that rm won't be enough, and the "Success!" isn't really a success. But likely shred won't even work, because SSDs overwrite other blocks when you perform a write operation, for wear leveling. I&#x

It's only on by default in windows if your computer has a TPM, is instantGo compatible, and has a microsoft.com account. I don't think this combination is very prevalent.

I'm pretty sure bail is different than parole. Bail comes before sentencing, parole comes after the jail/prison time.

What is an attacker going to do with the hash? The attacker will try to crack it, to get the original password. As long as the user's password had at most 64 bits of entropy, it's just as easy to crack a truncated sha1 hash as a f

In most programming languages, including python, true is represented by 1 and false is represented by 0. This script is changing it to be backwards, and python is flexible enough to allow that. But I would expect this would break most pytho

By "flat" I mean a fixed percent of your income. A fixed $200 isn't a flat tax, because it's not a fixed percent of your income. Yes, apparently-flat taxes can sometimes be regressive, for example a flat sales tax can be

It takes 64 bits of a sha1 hash, which is effectively the same as a sha1 hash for most users' passwords.

by Buge 8y ago
That's effectively the same thing. 16 hex characters is 64 bits. Most users have a password with much less than 64 bits of entropy. So for most users truncating the hash to 64 bits provides no benefit.

I don't see how it's possible to have 0 false positives. I thought it was inherent in the nature of a bloom filter to have false positives. This site is a false positive rate calculator: https://hur.st/bloomfilter&

If it's a fixed based on your salary, it would be neither regressive, nor progressive. It would be flat. And that's assuming the government takes the money from thin air. If the government gets the money via a progressive tax, the

Yes, I do care. Because if Trump ordered it, then likely Linux, Windows, Android, Mac, and iOS also were ordered to have these, and nothing is safe. But if Google decided to put a chip in their computers of their own initiative, then that&#

If the NSA is forcing Google to install chips in Chromebooks, then that's a sign that one group (the NSA) is getting a ton of power, since they likely also compelled chips in Android, Windows, iOS, Mac, and even Linux computers. Wherea

No you can't. "null" isn't a specific thing in c++. There's nullptr, NULL, and 0. NULL is just a fancy name for 0. If for example you have a function with a return type of string, it must return a string. It cannot

Wow, that seems bad. Does Digital Ocean provide any guarantees about data reliability? A 2 month refund seems way too low, maybe a refund of all money paid in the past related to storage would be closer to fair.
