does this mean that all passwords for osx-encrypted-drives have been 'recoverable'? e.g. if I created an encrypted drive using El Capitan, someone else can crack my drive's password without even cracking a password-hash?

Or is there a bug also in high-sierra's 'create-encrypted-disk' functionality? (but not in lower-versions)

The bug would be that for encrypted APFS volumes made using Disk Utility and similar applications, the password hint was accidentally set as the password itself.

High Sierra is the first OS X release with APFS.

Only in the passwords created using GUI version of the new Disk Utility (command line is safe).

thank you! thought I was screwed...

maybe it's time to augment peer-review with some other stuff instead of completely getting rid of it?

maybe 3d-cameras can help? anyway, this forgery stuff is getting scary...

as a user? some milliseconds of latency maybe?

that's not very customer-friendly... I wouldn't want to remember username/password for your website, when the App Store can just let me re-download your app without going any hassle.

'humanitarian crisis' - isn't NK already the very example of 'humanitarian crisis'? just that NK gov. is good at 'containing' its people & let then starve...

It's currently a humanitarian crisis that China don't have to (and to a large extent can't) deal with.

Right. It’s a disaster but it’s contained. As soon as the government can’t enforce it’s borders (there are some leaks now but it’s not open) then it’s going to become a huge issue in China and SK and anywhere else people can get to.

Of course China and SK could arm up at the borders and start shooting people but... that’s not really an improvement is it.

I've been wary about the Chinese gov's honesty after the economic reparations after THAAD deployment in Korea. (NK made nukes, so US deployed THAAD to defend against NK nukes, and PRC gov. got angry for some defense-only 'weapon')

Moreover, the Chinese gov. has been sending NK refugees back to NK, even though it knows those people won't end well.

But anyway, +1 for Chinese gov. on this stance - I guess this might be a start for a morally better China, a real Big Man country.

> NK nukes, and PRC gov. got angry for some defense-only 'weapon'

This "defense-only" weapon upsets the decade-old nuclear balance of M.A.D. because the THAAD radar is sensitivity and location weaken China's nuclear retaliatory ability.

then the Chinese gov. should have forced NK to give up its nukes in the first place. It can, but didn't, so US and Korea have the reason to deploy THAAD.

Chinese gov. should explain why it let NK have nukes before blaming 'power balance'

turtles all the way down...

Hey kid you now where to get a hair cut and home cooked meal?

well, more stuff:

> South Korean manufacturers have been not allowed to bring production facilities back to South Korea

also, the Chinese gov's stance (and BTW, gov != people) on THAAD is ridiculous at best: China has nukes, acquiesced to NK having nukes, but are opposed to other countries having defense mechanisms...?

China's response to ROK's THAAD deployment provides obvious proof of complicity, even support, of DPRK's nuclear program, and should be treated as such.

wow this is a super troll idea...

getters that change value... muahahaha
