  • Most can probably go through life without ever having to use the insurance or be stopped by the police.

    this is anecdotally super wrong.

    I drive like 15,000 km a year (VERY LITTLE) - in the past 20 years I’ve hit probably a half dozen ride programs and been rear ended twice by someone else while fully stopped at a red light

    While I’ve never had to actually file an insurance claim, there have been plenty of times I’ve had to present it



  • Words are the least secure way to generate a password of a given length because you are limiting your character set to 26, and character N gives you information about the character at position N+1

    The most secure way to generate a password is to uniformly pick bytes from the entire character set using a suitable form of entropy

    Edit: for the dozens of people still feeling the need to reply to me: RSA keys are fixed length, and you don’t need to memorize them. Using a dictionary of words to create your own RSA key is intentionally kneecapping the security of the key.
