I can describe the flag of every country in Latin America and provide one trivia fact of my choice about the country as well.
“I don’t know shit about fuck” - character from Ozarks I forgot the name of
All I know is that I know nothing -Plato
The only experience I have is in not having any experiences, and the only thing I know is that I know nothing about anything
I think that Descartes fellow was onto something…
You can test if a 9 volt battery is good or not by touching the 2 prongs on the end to your tongue. You’ll know if it has juice or not.
A basic AAA battery has enough amperage to kill a human without the ohmage that the skin provides.
One time a guy got curious and poked himself with copper wires so they would be in direct contact with his electrolyte-filled blood. Those wires were attached to a 1.5v battery, and he electrocuted himself and died.
I do know about things. Some things, many things, any things. If you ever want to know a thing about a thing I will know if I know about the thing.
Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.
This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.
Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.
It really depends on the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.
Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.
So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.
Well, I’m over 40, so I know a bit about WW2.
Mostly from the documentaries I fall asleep to in the afternoons.
Socrates only knows enough to know that he doesn’t know anything.
The reason the Oracle of Apollo said “No man is wiser than Socrates” is because no man is wise, and Socrates is only wise enough to know himself to be a fool.
“That’s us, dude!” “Oh, yeah!”
I pronounce it So-Crates because of William S. Preston, Esq., and Theodore Logan.
Most excellent!
Most conservatives can be defeated in arguments with their own statements. Just a little poking and it falls apart under its own weight.
Otoh, they mostly make it up as they go while ignoring everything around them, so your mileage may vary.
Hi yith I no thingz
What kind of experience are you talking about? Maybe I’m a candidate for having it. I dunno.
Young children don’t warn you when they learn how to open locks. Sometimes you find out when they’re rifling through your stuff or well down the road.
