   100 times yes. The mere presence of a single character from a different class does not increase entropy. It means that most common passwords move from 8 lowercase letters to 6 lowercase letters plus 1 number plus 1 symbol, which is even e

   Agreed that it seems unlikely an average child would grow up to use $80k less in police/court/prison services, but much more persuasive to me would be a case that they produce $80k more value to the rest of society, from less use

   Are there any known sha-1 collisions yet? If not, and the cost is that cheap, I'm surprised.

    While uncommon, it's not ridiculous. A site could, for example, decide to generate a user's password rather than allow them to provide their own, thus guaranteeing it be long, random, and unique. However, it's still not a g

    They would have read access to all of the database. However, if they also have the password, then they have they ability to impersonate that user and take actions as well. As an example, if you're a bank, if someone gets your databas

    No, it doesn't. This issue is not technology to store and search data from the client. The point is not wanting to download everything to every client in the first place.

    Not true - there are reasons not to do it on the client instead. Consider a web email client instead. It's not feasible to login to the site, download a full archive of your email, decrypt it, and index it before being able to do a s

    If the data is opaque to the provider, then there are many services they won't be able to provide on it (without some major advances in homomorphic encryption). For example, spam detection or search. Sharing is also made much more di

    Thanks for your perspective. It's interesting that there appears to be ambiguity in the terms and a diversity in what is being taught.

    There is an implied penalty because it says about the answer box "Make sure you’re right; you won’t get a second chance" in contrast to "You can test as many sequences as you want" about the sequences.

    The puzzle is not "Find a rule that matches everything you tested". It's figure out what rule they are using. It may be true that there are multiple ways to state the rule, such as "x_2 >= x_1 + 1 and x_3 is >= x
