Why don't they just give each star a UUID? It doesn't make any less sense, and it allows them to be uniquely named without requiring a centralized registration process.
Don't come to Korea. Every banking transaction requires you to punch in your PIN at least twice with a randomized numpad. Well actually it's a 4x3 numpad with 2 spaces randomly inserted into it.
Land Value Tax would fix this
You're only up 383 points of material. Watch that you don't get too aggressive and overextend 40 of your queens.
reddit does not pay its content creators anything. Unlike every other big tech social media platform, they also do not pay their moderators anything. They require all moderators to do all the work for them, for free. On top of that, they blast ads everywhere. And they sell sponsored posts and upvote blocks. And they somehow tricked users into believing that giving reddit money was an appropriate way to reward a different user for making a good post.
And despite all of that, they are unprofitable? Something doesn't smell right.
Sorry I just realized I should have said base 62. That's all the letters and numbers, plus digits, too.
The hashing step gives you a binary sequence, so you're actually converting from base 2, not from base 10. You treat the result of the hash as a giant binary integer and then repeatedly divide by 62, keeping track of the remainder. 0 = 0, 1 = 1, ..., 9 = 9, 10 = a, 11 = b, ..., 36 = z, 37 = A, 38 = B ..., 61 = Z
Yeah I wrote the code for it. It's simple enough that I could write it again if needed.
By "hash" I mean SHA256 (though if I were to do it all again, I would probably use a different hash algorithm these days, but whatever, good enough). "base52" means turning the SHA256 binary code into a sequence of letters/digits. That part I wrote, too, but it's quite straightforward.
I rolled my own, actually. I don't store any passwords (even encrypted). Instead, I just append the site name to my base password (which is in my head), hash it, and base-52 it. (I also start each password with the same uppercase letter, lowercase letter, punctuation mark, just to ensure it gets past any bullshit filters)
I like that there's nothing that can be leaked (except what's in my head) and nothing to be lost and nothing to back up.
He's not completely wrong in the powermod=landed gentry analogy (and the implied spez=king analogy, for that matter). People have been (weakly) protesting and trying (not very successfully) to leave over the powermod situation for years, and it's true that the powermods aren't friends of ours.
But he seems to be suggesting that the protests are just the actions of the powermods, as if other users (and smaller mods) aren't also leaving. I think he's going to be disappointed when he discovers that the peasantry are also upset. They just don't have has his ear because he's so removed from them, so all he hears are the powermods.
Thanks for the suggestion! This works much better!
