That, and the terms of service.

Yes. The Boy Who Cried Wolf has other issues, as well, though; I remember thinking (as a child) that it was as much the villagers' fault for not believing the kid as it was the kid's fault for lying before.

Calculus.

Independently before they were 30 by both Newton and Leibniz. Good example!

That's irrelevant for two reasons. First, the life expactancy for someone who is x years old was higher than 38, which is the life expectancy at birth. Second, there's no obvious rule of nature that people will accomplish amazing feats at an earlier age if their life expectancy is lower.

Third: That was the life expectancy at birth across society in general at the time, not the life expectancy of somebody fortunate enough to be able to go into academia.

Most of the people mentioned in this thread from that era in fact lived into their 70s or 80s (70 for Leibniz, 84 for Newton, etc). That might be a coincidence, but I suspect that reduced occupational hazards played a significant role.

Did you read the whole thing that you posted?

Yes, and I recommend the article: it confirms that life expectancy was 38 and only 8% of people reaching adulthood lived to be 60.

The article is trying to say that life expectancy is reduced by high child mortality, but that's a pretty harsh adult life expectancy too. Surely almost everybody alive was under 30.

Actually, that's still true: a majority of people in the world are under 30.

Newton himself lived to be 84. He published Principia Mathematica aged 45. As the article explains, life expectancy is just an average.

But it is relevant here: if most people alive are under 30, most stuff gets done by under 30s.

And they do. They aren't being silenced.

And neither is Eich. Freedom of expression does not indemnify people from how people react to your expression.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Miranda rights are for interrogations.

Clearly you haven't been to many comp sci 101 courses.

actually we learned this in AP comp sci in high school.

It was posted here on HN a few days ago, but you might find the DEFCON talk on single bit domain errors relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPbyDSvGasw

In summary, some data centers are run hotter than recommended, which leads to a lot of mostly ignored domain resolution errors, which leads to a security risk.

You can just torrent users.tar.gz (the leaked list of encrypted passwords) and then grep the file for your email address, which will give you the encrypted version of your password.

...which does not really help without the crypto-key - even if you know a list of possible passwords you cannot test them.

Well, funnily enough, if you know your password and it was in the leak, you can test it against your own password.

lastpass.com/adobe will show you the list of hints of yourself and other users that used the password.

Wonderful. sarcasm

In pre-university school I would always wish that instead of trying to describe a complicated procedure/formula in words (and failing), that the teachers would just write a program. Code can be a very effective means of communication between humans as well.
