That’s what your business phone is for.


Burner business phone?

Maybe just reuse the phone number?

Edit: looking at your post history you have a pattern of making shitty one-sentence comments. Why even bother? You come across as a troll.


OK, thank you.


The point is that it’s not a compliment to call something the “chess.com”.


What’s the median among non-obese women?


It means rent the beach house.


No, because I broke up with Alphabet years ago.


Our healthcare system has very little to do with capitalism or free markets.


Individual passwords don’t have entropy.


You can calculate Shannon entropy of an individual password, as the number of bits per char.

A password of "aaaaaaa" will have a much lower entropy than "axipeY7".

What am I missing?


Replying to self...

I guess it's not a useful measure of password strength, even if possible. Any password that doesn't repeat any letters will have identical entropy by this measure.

So 123456789 will be the same Shannon entropy as Ar4e$hUa^


Entropy is really a measure of password length.


That's basically right for passwords.

Of course, if we impose password complexity requirements (e.g. must have a digit or an uppercase letter), it actually reduces the entropy in the password!


Entropy is a measure of the potential state space. So password length matters a lot but so does the size of the character set.

Is this the quality of education I can expect from UCSD?


That's a different school. The University of San Diego is a private university in San Diego. UCSD is the San Diego campus of the University of California.


You’re thinking of the Federation.
