  • Not so much password requirements as just a completely removed implementation:

    To access payment stubs in a data center (not us) that I worked at, the user account was our public email address and the password was a personal code, sorta like SSN, but that code could be easily looked up as it was public info.

    I showed the director of HR, who authorized this her own payment stub as evidence that this was baaaaadddd

    So she asked me to check that system for more issues

    Turns out it stored passwords in blank (wtf) and would authenticate with two queries. First query would check if the username (email) exists. Second query would check if the password exists. If both exists, you’re in! So i could login to any account with MY password…

    This is a tip of a very big iceberg there











  • Yeah.

    And that would never happen. Same goes for communism. On paper its all pretty but in practice you have to deal with han beings who want their own thing.

    The only way to push through communism (or anarchism, for that matter) is to force people to follow it. This inevitably leads to the dictatorships we all know and love where people were murdered by the thousands only for disagreeing. Corruption will flourish because you’ll keep having a richer class who just hide all their crap better, and those backroom deals are just awesome for a system corrupt to the core

    Just acting as if the current problems with capitalism only exist because most people are blind while you “opened your eyes” is an attitude I’d expect from a 15 year old who is just repeating slogans
