> I dont know if i will watch this video of it, because books always contain more than a video can express so i am almost always disapointed.

Granted I am only 3 episodes in, but I am very happy with the series so far. Episode 3 spends nearly the entire episode covering the countdown timer, so that gives me hope the important elements will be given the time they require/deserve.

There are three books in the series, if you don't remember half the stuff described maybe you stopped after the first?

You forgot to divide by 100, it's an increase of 18.4 (at quick glance the conversion appears to be "add 100, then divide by 100" anyway). Which is why they report is as they do. 1740 sounds much more impressive than 18.4

Can it be done automatically? Sure. Will that result in it being done correctly? Absolutely not. But I guess human-reviewed redaction isn't perfect either, so the question is whether an automatic process can be created that is as good as or better than humans.

I remembered reading this comment when the story first broke, which points out just a couple edge cases that would need to be considered. There are many, many more, which is why it's such a difficult problem.

It's definitely a drawback that "honest" 3rd party clients can't function (and they shouldn't even function by copy/pasting the return url into the client -- if that works, then that means the server isn't using PKCE, and that's bad).

But it's vitally important that the redirect uri be fixed, otherwise an attacker that tricks a user into using their malicious 3rd party client would then have an access token for that user, and could do who knows what with it.

Preventing that malicious use-case is orders of magnitude more important than supporting legitimate 3rd party use-cases.

The N word, which he admits he did say, but he claims he did not realize it has a significantly different meaning and connotation in the USA (he had recently moved from Ireland).

Whether he was a racist or not, it seems a little extreme to pull the son's sponsorship for something the father said...

While I'm sure you didn't intend for your post to be funny, I laughed out loud anyway, because it EXACTLY describes the feeling I had when I (a Canadian from Southern Ontario) traveled to Finland a few years ago.

Initially I didn't want to go to McDonalds, because "we have those back home", but my travel partners did and I was outvoted. And on subsequent days we did find other local restaurants to try instead. But to be perfectly honest, I would have been happy to return to McDonalds every day, because their menu was just so much better than ours, and the burger I had was restaurant quality and not at all what I would ever expect from a fast food joint.

Imagine if slashdot had an http login form that submitted to https.

If I use the free wifi at the local coffee shop, then an attacker could change the submit location from slashdot to a location they control, so then when I put in my password and hit submit it gets sent to the attacker.

Not the end of the world if my slashdot account is compromised, but it would be a bigger deal for gmail or my workplace web portal, etc.

What's the point of commenting if all you're going to type is *******?

That's not right. It was "Feel my skills, donkey donkey donkey, donkey donkey"

Oh wait, that was the English-Japanese-English translator...

Reminds me of when I was listening to the audiobook copy of Door Into Summer, and upon getting into the car with my kids one day the reading resumed with "never, never, never stick a pin in the baby".

Sounds like these inventors opted for disposable diapers, so I guess no pins stuck in babies here either.

The same happens to me. I have a rule that filters mail to myname@, so then only my.name@ hits my inbox. Conveniently 99% of spam gets sent to myname@ so gets filtered out along with alternate me's misaddressed email.

You can search on domain, as long as you can demonstrate some sort of ownership of the domain (receive email at a certain address, add a file or meta tag to root website, add a TXT record to DNS)

Excellent explanation. To answer the question you only sort of asked, it's not the shortest way. No matter which of the 6 possible orders you start with, the best you can get is a list 9 elements long. Optimal would be 8 elements (the initial 3 you decide to start with, then 1 more from each of the other 5) but no matter which order you start with it wants to repeat that initial order on the 3rd addition.

For example 123 should be followed by 231 resulting in 1231. Follow that with 312 for 12312. Next should be 123, but you started with that, so next-best-thing would be 213 for 1231213. Then 132 followed by 321 to get 123121321, one of the 9 element solutions.

My favourite was a company who emailed "me" to say they received the replacement for their broken part, but it was the wrong one. I replied back saying something like "No, I'm pretty sure we sent the right one". She replied back with a picture showing the broken part, and "my" replacement part, which was the same shape but probably 3x larger. I replied back "Looks OK to me". She didn't take kindly to that.

Then I googled the company and discovered they make assistive devices for disabled people, so then it wasn't my favourite anymore.
