Ok, fine, 33 bits 😂 Wikipedia says the world population is 8 billion, and python tells me that math.log2(8e9)
is 32.897.

Remember, kids, it only takes 32 bits to uniquely identify any person on the planet. That’s 32 yes or no questions. Of course, they have to be perfectly crafted questions, but identifying power of fingerprinting must not be underestimated.

Stupid question probably, but what’s stopping actual criminals from putting a bright orange tip on their real guns so they won’t get shot by cops? Pride?
I take it from the downvotes that this is not a place for discussion, this is a place for confirming your biases. Carry on.
It’s a meme, I’m not writing comprehensive policy here
I’m responding to your comment, not the post. This part:
If a disabled person … their disability should therefore …
You really can’t make generalizations about disabilities like this.
Lots of people think disabilities are visible and easy to categorize. They’re not, and this attitude leads to scenarios like random people harassing actually disabled people for using a handicapped parking spot.
My point is, like, mind your own business and don’t make judgy proclamations about what disabled people can do.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Disabilities are really diverse and the US at least has shit healthcare. I can totally imagine someone using the last of their strength or energy to get back into their car. I wish everyone returned their carts, too, but I have empathy for people who just hit the end of their rope.
The darned neural implant generation doesn’t even know how to doomscroll with their fingers. Kids these days smh no cap.
This all hinges on when you count the number of problems you have. But that’s why you have two eyes! Read the same page of books 1 and 2 in parallel and obliterate 100% of your problems.
I think the judge would know it when they see it and laugh them out of the court room.
This headline sounded familiar. The article’s from 8 months ago, folks.
You know, the reason this happens is that you can ask your database to execute a string type, but languages usually don’t distinguish between a static string and a dynamically constructed string.
Not to proselytize, but this is a place where rust’s lifetime annotations can shine. The DB interface should take a &'static str
( and a variable number of parameters to insert) so it can be certain that no untrusted user input has already been injected into the query string. Assuming all static data is trusted, the sql injection vulnerabilities just went poof.
Sadly, it looks like rusqlite’s execute()
takes a non-static str
. I wonder why.
Understandable. I’m more confused why Bruce ripped off the original blog post.
Cool username, btw
The beautiful thing about string injection vulnerabilities is that they will never ever stop happening. It’s just too easy to sprintf untrusted input.
Why not post the primary source? https://ian.sh/tsa
In fairness, kids these days will have all sorts of formative memories unfathomable to previous generations
I think you mean “$EDITOR”. Gotta have that variable expansion.
Am I being dense? I don’t get it.
There are a select few where I want notifications. Basically email, chat, calendar… and nothing else.
To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.
