> UUIDv4 is explicitly forbidden for a lot of high-assurance and high-reliability software systems for this reason. Hmm. What do those systems do for cryptography? Just assume it won't work and not rely on it at all?

It's a near certainty that something is badly wrong with the RNG, and, yes, probably in how it's seeded. It's probably messing up the cryptography, too.

> Uhm no the whole point of captchas is that it requires (or used to anyway) humans to solve them, thus limiting the rate to human speeds. The CAPTCHA challenge page itself has to be served to a client that has not yet given any evidence

How do you "determine" individual clients to show them CAPTCHAs? Yes, you can, and probably should, make some use of IP addresses, although that would work better if idiots hadn't polluted the Internet with quite so much NAT.

Um, I realize the Trump administration doesn't pay a lot of attention to what it does and does not have authority to do, but I'm having trouble imagining what they'd even claim their authority was...

How about empathy for the other people they'll make miserable if you encourage their worldview , and maybe the people they'll make miserable if you further embitter them?

Especially annoying because if I remember correctly people gave Google some irreplaceable backup tapes on the promise that there'd be a complete archive, and within a couple of years it'd turned into Google Groups...

1. Don't run Windows. That's just showing your abuse fetish. 2. Keep your fucking OS up to date. At this point, there is no excuse for exposing unmaintained, unupdated code to the Internet.

That's nice, but the rest of us didn't accept anything to agree to provide a legal system that would enforce it... and there's no reason we should.

They make a lot of money off of the cloud services and their layered "enterprise" applications. Selling "just the database" isn't what Oracle's been about for a very long time.
