you're doing this

implicitly comparing the treatment of Jews during the holocaust to the treatment of cattle today

also, you can compare two things without equating them

I think if you actually cared about the words you wrote, you wouldn't have used them as the basis of a lazy strawman to win an argument on the internet against veganism

Humans evolved to eat animals.

humans also evolved to die from cholera before the age of 3 what's your point

B12 is an essential vitamin whose primary source is meat and dairy

so add b12 to foods, or take b12 supplements

I am child free

not having children because you never wanted children isn't an argument unless you avoided having them specifically for the climate

you're allowed to eat meat, but can we please stop with all the limp-wristed excuses for why it's actually morally justifiable and just own it?

Sisyphus is rolling a boulder towards Monty Hall, who controls a switch that will open one of three doors at your choosing, reveal what is behind that door, and then allow you to choose a second door instead or stay with your first choice.

Behind one door is the Grand Hilbert Hotel, which has infinite rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accommodate Sisyphus or his boulder.

Behind another door is the Ship of Theseus, which may be destroyed by the boulder. However, the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship.

Behind the shirt door is a box containing a radioactive isotope, a container of poison, and a cat. If Sisyphus passes through this door, his boulder will break open the box, causing the state of the cat within to be observed.

Is Sisyphus happy?

There's a security stack exchange on this exact question here.

Storing your credentials in plaintext would be insane, illegal, and would never pass any kind of audit.

They all do it. It's perfectly secure if you don't implement it in a naive way.

No, they aren't storing your password in plaintext.

A bunch of European banks.

If you have the password hashes, you almost certainly have the salts. Salts prevent the same password used by different users having the same hash, but if you're bruteforcing, they don't really add to complexity.

Bruteforcing 2 characters + a salt is computationally the same as bruteforcing 2 characters.

Less secure if you come at it from the perspective of cracking the password, but probably more secure in real-world terms.

If you type in your bank password and somebody's compromised your browser, they now have your entire password.

If you type in the third, fourth and eighth digits and somebody's compromised your browser, they still can't access your account.

Obviously full 2FA is probably better, but

• A bank requiring a smartphone to bank with them is probably a no-go
• A bank probably has to deal with some of the least technical users that are out there

If it's too hard for certain users to engage with the system correctly, they'll try to sneak around it in ways that could compromise their security more than if the bank had just gone with the specific digits thing in the first place.

There's a security exchange thread on it here

It looks like there are certain kinds of algorithms you can run that give you this property.

Also, I've seen this when you have an alternate form of authentication like a password you type in full, or an existing session token. In those scenarios, you could probably use some sort of symmetric key encryption to encrypt the secondary password with the primary password / session token in such a way that you aren't storing the key and can't decrypt it, but that you can check specific digits on command.

that doesn't explain the scenario described in the post

guys stop downvoting some of us like to piss ourselves in the pool and we should be free to do so at our leisure

who said anything about "water"?

you're only starving yourself of warmth
