But when someone tries to attack such a password, as long as whatever the user devised isn't represented by an entry in the attack dictionary, the attack strategy falls back to brute force, at which point a repetition scheme is irrelev

If we will have a lottery, then it should be a sensibly managed lottery, not a scramble gamed by bots.

Ah, I see. So what kind of capture hardware could read from that point? I assume it's a digital signal taking the form of 2-voltages, flipping on the order of 3.6 MHz (16 billion pits to read over 74*60 seconds). With Red Book audio at

The "unmolested data" would still have undergone error correction though, wouldn't it? I don't think a bin/cue rip would contain the redundant stuff, which GP seems interested in, nor the subcodes (of which some a

I think you're probably right, but the thing that always gets me is this: if nothing in their terms or UI prohibits you from encoding data into your name and changing it as often as possible, then is doing so actually unauthorized? I c

Suppose, for simplicity, that you've got 2 types of people: price-sensitive (your 17yo) and price-insensitive (let's call them rich). In reality it's a gradient, complicated by emotional aspects, but I think just 2 cohorts is

I have no idea what connectivity options are available in current scanners, but it sounds like a viable solution could be to use an RF band that customers don't overwhelm, similar to wireless microphones perhaps, with a little hub situ

Hm. So I guess at a small venue that has 3 door people with offline scanners, you have a 2/3 chance of success if you're the second of two people sharing a barcode. Combined with the obvious 3/3 success being the first person

I don't think the hired help is any more absurd, given that the primary perceived problem would be the increased likelihood that a bad actor exploits the system. I think that's what would keep a landlord up at night far more than

Most company bathrooms probably don't have many babies coming through though, right? So this test is limited to just places like stores, restaurants, etc. which is a tiny subset of companies.

How about "N remaining"? Anything that isn't zero means it's still in progress or stalled. Only abbreviate (via thousands indicators like K, M, G, etc.) when it actually shortens the text meaningfully, so there will be n

When someone of age consistently buys liquor for minors, they'll eventually get caught in many cases, due to the likely rambunctiousness of inexperienced drinkers. Would the same be true here?

I love that. Unsolicited but quite possibly authentic email from my bank? No auto-fill means no-go, start over from a known URL. It would be funny if this behavior isn't a guarantee in certain adverse conditions.

Interesting! If I used Firefox (et al.) more, and if my passwords stored by Google aren't available there but they would be if stored in Bitwarden, this new-to-me information just might lead me to switch. But I do still intuitively put

My guess is advertising CPI is much higher for authenticated traffic, and crippling the anonymous experience is found to maximize authenticated traffic. But now I'm speculating on why the developers of the site do what they do. In my p

I want to agree, except that I believe when people authenticate to a particular site and post something, they're only really concerned with readership by other people who authenticate to that same site. Like if I have a car problem and
