Yes and no, in my opinion. Attackers can keep a list of all compromised passwords, and try it even for accoints that may not be associated. This is a much smaller search space than to go through every possible password of length <= 32 (for example).

EDIT: I was wrong. The minimum seems to have been 7 or 8.

~~Why are the exactly ten, the minimum number required to advance the vote?~~

In the same vein, Musk didn't make billions. Tesla workers did.

So, soo close to supporting vaccines.

Exactly. They aren't even attempting to scare Tesla customers themselves. It's all about tarnishing Musk's image, sending a message, and damaging his cashcow.

Just fyi, there isnt just one liquor monopoly. Not sure about other provinces, but BC has BC Liquor and Quebec has SAQ. I guess LCBO is Ontario's.

I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.

The connection also looks like a RAM stick's. I think.

 

I am genuinely curious. Some of my passing thoughts are below, if some context is needed.

I strongly believe that PR is a much better and fairer system than FPTP, and I hope it passes in Canada at least at the federal level.

The question. Are there any real disadvantages to PR compared to FPTP?

PR is obviously not a peefect system, and it has downsides compared to other forms of representation, such as Direct Democracy. But i cant find any real downsides when compared to FPTP.

I heard about:

  1. PR allows extremist ideas to be represented. This is maybe true, but I think it is blown out of proportion It is also probably not a negative. Allowing their representation means that these ideas can be challenged in public, rather than simply censored. It also could reduce feelings of not being represented among the public, feelings which might be a strong contributing force to the rise of authoritarianism.

  2. PR could effectively freeze government by not allowing anything to pass. This could be a negative, but in many cases it isn't. In case the majority is the extremist party, PR allows a sort of damage control.
