  • As of 2023, a 16 character password with just lower case letters could be cracked in about 713 years and the average employee stays with a company for about 3.9 years. I really think we are making people work to hard to make good enough passwords and that is how we get people making shitty passwords. And then we ask them to repeat this process every three months, and because getting a password reset is a pain in the ass they right “FuckTh15Pl@ce” on a sticky note under there keyboard (I found that one under a VP’s keyboard).

    If we were doing passwords right it would be 12 characters, three character types, last until you leave the company or there is an incident. Also, by not requiring people to change the password every so often it one less thing for the IT Auditor to crab about.




  • My theory is that this is a play by the right to try an undermine anecdotal evidence and accounts used to persuade people. About a decade ago, the left tried to use data driven arguments while the right use anecdotal evidence, and studies have shown anecdotal evidence to be more persuasive. Now, the left has learned from its mistakes and is using anecdotal evidence and accounts, and it is proving to be effective in undermining the right.

    Instead of pointing out the hypocrisy of Christians saying empathy is bad, because it doesn’t work, the left should lean into this narrative. Empathy is a way people will exploit you, data driven studies are the only thing you can rely on. Then fallow that up with explaining how to know if you can trust a data source.

    If the left and use the rights own strategy against them instead of trying to fight against the strategy, it will be much more effective. They may be able to start realizing that global warming is real, and racism still exist in this country.
