If you initially parse everything after the comma as the aside, you then have only the fact that "two onlookers" is not something that George coul be to allow you to understand the…

And with your clever repartee, no one will be able to contradict you. Sarcasm aside, your comment is useless. I think that there is still significant ambiguity in the sentence as w…

If I read this correctly, the main negative point was that the author was not paid as much as his colleagues, though he did get the position. The author suggests this is because of…

I don't think anybody is saying that you shouldn't strive to understand crypto. I think the overall message is don't build systems with crypto unless you understand it, or have som…

Does the author not know how to write quotations? The use of parentheses instead of square brackets to denote the alteration of the quotation is confusing and painful.

The something you are (which generally doesn't apply to web-based authentication) are biometrics. So something you are - the pattern of blood vessels in your retina - is something …

There are also some very important facets to Information security that you are missing. You describe security as being "based on knowing, doing, or owning something that no one els…

How would it be cheaper if the refueling stations are free?

did you mean "who DDOS'es Github"?

In that case, wouldn't the 200x200px square with the anomaly still be highlighted as unique from the rest of the sand, since none of the sand would match it?

You managed to, in more words than the original article, completely miss the point of the original article... None of what you assume a "fuck 'em" mentality means is suggested in t…

So they finally got rid of those pesky creative writing classes, huzzah!

I totally mean skewed right. The big part of the curve is on the left.

Even if you take 78 birthday candles to mean reach the age of 78, then there is still an issue with that statement. Likely to reach the age of 78 implies that the median age is 78,…

Your logic is infallible... I mean fallacious!

You hit the nail on the head... "an appropriate forum with as many readers as SO/SE" Stack overflow on the other hand is for people to: [A]sk practical, answerable questions based …

I have a real problem with this: "I guess my point is, that if you want to become a programmer, you have to be comfortable with having to learn new things constantly for the rest o…

The comparison is spot on. You do not need to "become a developer" in order to understand what is within the realm of possibility for developers to do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to do something when someone corrects a person, but is wrong themselves. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves!

Post-holocaust is perfectly correct. The event of nuclear war is often refereed to as a nuclear holocaust. Note the lack of capitalization on the 'h' making it not signify the prop…

This font: TiemposHeadlineLight - was VERY difficult to read and made me want to run for the high hills.

While I love the pointing out of logical fallacies, this is not necessarily an ad-hominem attack on the argument. I think this post provides important context for the reading of th…

It wouldn't necessarily 'just happen'. From what I can glean, the idea is that if you are trying to play the game as well as possible, then the portion that you originally learned …

There is a chance that if your DB is compromised, your code is as well. Additionally, what if you want to change your work factor, how would you handle doing that? If you upgrade y…

I would only say that you would want to immediately reset all user passwords if the passwords were leaked, not necessarily if the algorithm that you are using is bad for whatever r…
