So something like correcthorsebatterystaple is a bad password now?
I said "like", actually using correcthorsebatterystaple is obviously a bad idea.
"Your password is stored in a hash of type XXX that is ### bits long, hashed for ### rounds, and salted with ### bits during each round." would tell the user all they need to know about how well their password is going to be protected, and they can make a more informed decision.
Why isn't that part of the meter? Because 99% of users have absolutely no idea what any of that means. It would be a good idea to have that information available to anyone who cares* but it would confuse most users, maybe even put them off signing up.
* Of course users SHOULD care but most don't or at least don't have the time/inclination to learn.
The report, which took one full year into account, found that complaints against police have fallen 40.5 percent and use of “personal body” force by officers has been reduced by 46.5 percent. Use of pepper spray has decreased by 30.5 percent.
Two benefits can be seen immediately. First, the police are being harassed less from false complaints. Second, and more important, the police are finding ways to settle most disputes without the use of force, which means they are abusing their authority less.
These statistics do confirm what many on both the right and the left have begun to believe in recent years, that the police have been almost certainly using force against citizens inappropriately too often. In San Diego at least the cameras are serving to stem this misuse of authority.
