It's a grift, taking advantage of a grieving person's desire for it not to be so final, for there to be hope of seeing their loved one again.

They all have cloud sync too, and in a pinch you can look up the password on your phone and type it in.

I get not bothering when it's a throwaway account, using the built in password manager is usually the path of least resistance.

I don't think it's just that people are bad at passwords, it's that they don't care. If their account gets compromised, it will probably hurt the service provider more than it will hurt them.

Gen Z are particularly sensitive to this, because they have noticed that most of the advice they get is bunk. If they are told to protect something like a password, they are more likely to evaluate if it actually matters to them to protect it, rather than just blindly following the advice.

That said it's a little surprising that password managers aren't having a bigger effect. All the major browsers offer to create and remember strong passwords for you.

Our government seems to mostly react to Facebook posts these days. I'm sure China, Russia, and others are all busy spamming Facebook in order to destabilize us.

The plant is over half a century old, and it was originally shut down supposedly because the state cut off the subsidies. It seems very marginal to restart it now, especially if they are relying on a single customer.

I never had a LinkedIn account, but they made one for me anyway.

Are these hypothetical babies likely to vote Republican?

If your code allows an attacker to just hammer the authentication API, you suck as a programmer and should be fired. FTFY. ;-)

I'm not even a programmer, but if I was tasked with working on authentication I'd make finding a way to limit failed attempts a high priority.

Sure, they had to sell their stock, including the parts needed to make the machines. At that time they were also still at least assembling them.

IIci September 1989, Quadra 700 October 1991, in almost the same case. Two years, one month.

Let's see what that link provides:

"This category explores how manipulative groups regulate and dominate their members’ actions and behaviors through strict rules, rewards, and punishments, limiting individual autonomy."
Hijab, burka, yarmulke, baptism, circumcision, the wearing of 'mixed' clothing

Examining the tactics of manipulative organizations to control information flow through censorship and propaganda, restricting members’ access to outside perspectives.
- I give you the Church of Scientology

Focuses on psychological techniques used by such groups to shape beliefs and attitudes, suppressing critical thinking and promoting conformity.
- I give you the Mormon Church

Explores how manipulative organizations manipulate emotions, fostering dependency and loyalty through love-bombing, guilt, and fear-based indoctrination.
- "If you're bad you won't see your family in heaven" really hard to say that's anything other than fear-based coercion

I am by no means an expert on religion(s) but to say religion isn't a cult is to whitewash it into respectability. Hence, 'A large *popular* cult'

That statement was stupid, even absurd the first times that it was used — by the Reich wing. The entire reason I'm still using it when speaking to them is to rub their noses in how fucking stupid it was.

You're two steps behind me as usual, but at least you're getting there.

Insert Travolta looking around meme here. This is me, looking for fucks.

1. That's why I gave two sources, dummy.The second source is a detailed dataset and says in the FAQ: "Around 68% of UK households have access to off-street parking."

2. Who mentioned AI? i didn't. I said "rando YT". The notion that your paltry 24 hours in the UK plus watching some YT videos gives you insight into what off-street parking is like in the UK is completely absurd. You cannot seriously think this gives you any kind of meaningful insight. You might aw well pick out Templewood Avenue on Streetview and declare that every house in the UK has off-street parking, or Mabfield Road in Fallowfield and declare none does. I've lived here all my life, and I wouldn't presume ot guess what percentage of cars are parked off-street on the basis of what I've seen with my eyes, because there's 30m+ cars in the UK and 800,000 streets!

3. Once again, you fail at basic reading comprehension. "Will be able to" does not mean the same as "Will". It means "have the possibility". I say this because modern houses have electricity and houses with off-street parking have... off-street parking, and those are the only two pieces of infrastructure required for a household to able to provide home charging. You keep trying to make out this is really hard and really complicated, and it's not. 70% of cars are parked at houses with off-street parking. The owners of those houses could, if they choose, put in a home charger, and then those cars could be charged at home. It will cost the owners about £1000 and ... that's all there is to it. I'm not claiming that all households will do this, I'm saying it's not physically impossible for them to do it, whereas it is physically impossible to put in off-street charging at a house that doesn't have off-street parking (or doesn't have electricity, but that's basically zero houses).

Part of raising capital is convincing everyone that you need the money and have a good plan for it. We're probably better off if these companies don't actually buy even 10% of the things they are saying they will buy. The hype funding schemes are incredibly harmful to business long-term, but the short-term pay off is too attracted for them to ever stop doing it.
