This only works if you use a small subset of usernames and passwords. A person who actually wanted to do this in a secure way would use a password manager and just record every username and password there.

Ask HN: How would you design password storage for a service like Mint.com?

Or, he could take the down payment he put on the place and invest that and come out ahead. Granted this person probably does make more than $1, but if they didn't, there are other better uses for money.

Right but exploiting Heartbleed to dump memory of the target webserver is most likely "unauthorized use of a computer system" and thus in violation of the CFAA.

1.) If it was made in the US, probably not. Reading the memory of a webserver would be pretty easy for a lawyer to argue is "unauthorized use of a computer system." That is the basic definition presented in the Computer Fraud and

wow that level took me forever. Ended up using things along the lines of if( me.getX() < 15) {move down then right} elst if me.getX()>15 and < 30 {move up then right} etc.

Being a little loose with my estimates and a bit of Fermi Math, thats only about 300 years of computing time on a small home built GPU cluster. Basically tells me that 4 random words are definitely crackable and 5 are theoretically possible

Modern password crackers are pulling all of wikipedia and youtube for seed words. If your words are in either of those, don't expect the password to stand to a dedicated attacker

Yes it is, so Uber should be MANDATING with documentation that their drivers maintain insurance that covers them at the appropriate times. They should actively be filtering out drivers who do no have a commercial insurance policy. But Uber

I also agree that these services are a net good, but I think what the original article was trying to say was "why don't they just suck it up and insure their operators?" Then the "net bad" argument disappears.

by pilom 13y ago
>"the benefit users get from these products" By being exposed to risk by uninsured operators? The operators (drivers or hosts) undercut current offerings (taxis and hotels) by not being insured.

The answer is cut your spending and start saving a huge percentage of your income. If you can save 50% of your income you are about 15 years away from never needing to work again if you don't want to. At that point you can work on what

In the case of the shirt, there isn't confusion about if it is a soft drink, but a lawyer could successfully argue that a customer might buy the shirt thinking it was a coca-cola shirt. If the coca-cola trade dress did not exist, it is

A second example of trade dress is Coca-Cola red and white with the cursive font. For instance, this shirt [1] in red almost certainly violates Coca-Cola's trade dress. [1] http://www.cafepress.com/mf/34611212&#x2F

As a CMU alumn, I have to add that part of the reason that the CS department has the 3 levels is that most majors at the school require a programming course. I'd guess that your intro course had more non-CS majors in it than the other
