    What is wrong with banks asking to make passwords i cant remember

    I consider the necessity to use password vaults like LastPass to be a failure in its own rights. No properly built system stores the actual password ever, even in encrypted form. They only store a cryptographic hash of some sort which is a one way transform and cannot be reversed. Typically...

    Buy PS4 Pro now or wait for PS5?

    https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-says-youll-be-able-to-play-ps4-games-on-plays/1100-6466282/ As expected, since there is no architectural change and PS5 is just a upgrade on existing hardware like PS4 to PS4 Pro, looks like backward compatibility with PS4 games will be maintained.

    What is wrong with banks asking to make passwords i cant remember

    Many banks have policies that prevent users from using parts of their name in the password. Asking user to choose a password with alphanumeric and symbol combination is also fine. The problem starts with expiry and recycling restrictions. That is what forces users to chose weak passwords. As...

    What is wrong with banks asking to make passwords i cant remember

    Overzealous security/password policies tend to be counter productive. There are studies and reports on it. The tendency of programmer when pressured to implement over zealous security policies is to lose sight of the actual goal while focusing on adding layers and complexity that serve no real...

    The whole argument about the security of EVM seems to be hinging on the fact that our indigenous EVM's are so primitive and custom designed that they do not have any conventional networking capability. But the point being ignored is that the staff responsible for assembly and maintenance and...

    Here is the thing. The US govt never openly admits to snooping not can it do it formally. They may do still do it behind the scenes, but there is big difference between govt doing it without knowledge of the people going through a lot of trouble for it (back doors, breaking cryptography etc) and...

    First of all, USA is not a complete democracy. It merely follows some of the structure just like India. The fact that the president has so much power that he can bring the govt to a stand still and stop a democratically passed bill stands testimony to that. No single person in a democracy should...

    Ambedkar's lofty ideals of democracy were indeed meant for human beings capable of intelligence and understanding. He however had this doubts because in the same speech, he mentioned that India had failed at this in the past and was warning that merely creating the constitution and declaring the...

    @toocool6600 Intelligence and IQ are not one and the same. IQ is a relative scoring system created by humans and it takes into account several aspects of creativity and cognitive abilities to give a loosely comparable score. I hope you know that creative people tend to have better IQ's on this...

    Words of Warning from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1949 If we wish to maintain democracy not merely in form, but also in fact, what must we do? The first thing in my judgement we must do is to hold fast to constitutional methods of achieving our social and economic objectives. It means we must...

    The difference between humans and our evolutionary ancestors like a variety of apes is that humans possess enough intelligence to have independent thinking and action despite living in a society with other humans. Apes on the other hand typically formed groups and usually, the most aggressive...

    To be honest, Political support can be summed up with the example of pyramid schemes. 1. The kind who don't buy that bull shit at all because they know better than that. 2. The kind who get into one or two of them and realize that its a scam and get out and warn others that its a scam. 3. The...

    There was a guy couples of years back who store from the bank and after getting caught, rambled on about how politicians were the real thieves as if what he did was right. You sound exactly the same way. Do you know what civil disobedience meant in India before independence. Maybe you should...
