He didn't just post the passphrase, he also posted this: "If someone figures it out, I will send you free sias" I'd call that a clear invitation/authorization for anyone to try to crack his passphrase.

Imagine you were the person who decides whether or not to bring charges against Mr. Lynch. Would you? Alternatively: imagine you were selected to sit as a juror in such a case. Would you nullify?

I don't see why this matters at all -- the disposable juice packs are what extract money from the consumer. It's the razor / replacement blade or printer / ink model. If someone finds out that they really only need the

Most of the time, in my (admittedly limited) experience. The two exceptions have been: A giant site, who already had an API & had deliberately decided to not implement the API calls we wanted. I should add that another giant site have

Yes. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, either. Demolishing the building would be an expensive undertaking, and it might cripple a useful organization that needed the building to operate. That's not to say it's the wro

Better solution: pay target-site.com to start building an API for you. Pros: * You'll be working with them rather than against them. * Your solution will be far more robust. * It'll be way cheaper, supposing you account for the on

I like your analogy, but what's missing is that the vim interface is much (much!) more powerful than the DF interface. Any number of DF players who are also UI designers (hey, there have gotta be a lot of 'em) could propose a doze

You're thinking of Earth, where the polar ice builds up perpendicular to the sun, causing tidal effects to wobble our axis a bit. In this case, the ice is building up in such a way to make the planet even longer in the direction that t

Services like Android Pay quite reasonably elect to not work if the device appears like it may have been compromised. It's not easy to tell if a device is rooted because the user wanted root access or because a virus got in. But suppo

I'm fond of Yoda conditionals, but not for the commonly cited reasons. Mostly I just like that they promote the interesting/unpredictable part of the comparison to the front. I consider the safety from unexpected assignment, fro

That's going to be a hard question to answer unless Gushue or Howard weigh in personally. I can say as a curler that the curling world is very small. If you want to curl against high-level players often, you need to travel regularly

That doesn't hold in curling. Sponsors aren't putting together teams. Teams are self-assembling. Some of those teams then look for sponsors to offset their costs, but others don't even look for sponsors; the $ amounts are

I remember that whenever a printer crashed at my university, its queue would fill up as people kept queuing additional copies of whatever document they were trying to print. Thankfully the permissions on the print queue were loose enough th
