Tavern on the Meta

I was just looking at Unihedro's election flag spreadsheet, how do you get disputed spam / offensive flags I thought they were always diamond mod handled so either helpful or declined? Or can they mark them if disputed if a bit borderline?

Jan Dvorak

They can

It seems like they're literally selling snake oil right here?

Same with the stupid password policies around the world - you know, the ones that state "at least one capital and small letter, at least one number, at least one special character".

Computers can break it in no-time, and no-one can remember what the heck password they have.

I prefer saying that passwords must have at least eight special characters.

Then they all look like swearing when I store them in plaintext

J. Steen

Oh. My favourite policy is "must be atleast 4 and no more than 15 characters".

There's a bank here where 4 < length < 8 >:(

Hard to fit unique passphrases in 4 to 15 characters. But everywhere else, I do.

Only time I see the captchas is on the data explorer where I don't bother logging in normally, but assuming they are the same they seem to have gotten easier over time and would have thought they were probably machine readable, only seem numbers lately come to think of it.

Osmosis

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis can be made to do work. The osmotic pressure is defined to be the minimum pressure required to maintain an equilibrium, with no net movement of solvent. Osmotic...
