Tadashi is my favorite from numberphile. The way he presents information makes it so easy.


privacy badger is useless at best and can do a disservice. uBlock origin can do everything privacy badger does and more. Also it has been known that having both privacy badger and uBlock origin causes conflicts and issues.


Hello! Privacy Badger dev here.

uBlock Origin is indeed an excellent privacy tool. However, uBlock Origin is not a replacement for Privacy Badger (nor is Privacy Badger a replacement for uBlock Origin). For one, uBlock Origin uses manually compiled ad blocker lists, while Privacy Badger automatically learns using heuristics. Both approaches have their pluses and minuses. Our FAQ goes into what makes Privacy Badger different here[1] and here[2].

> Also it has been known that having both privacy badger and uBlock origin causes conflicts and issues.

As far as I know, the two extensions work well together. Could you point me to some of these issues?

Which websites have issues with both uBO and Privacy Badger installed?

Privacy Badger uses heuristics, so it is possible to get it wrong, but it gives you a UI to toggle with things and correct its heuristics. Since uBO uses manual filters, you rely on list maintainers for your blocking instead of a heuristic that can deal with new threats that manual lists haven't accounted for yet.

Using both in tandem should be better because you get the adblock lists and something on the lookout for more trackers.

Please, if the issues are there, let's see them.


> - an API or app to generate long memorable pass phrases (based on semi random context like a random Wikipedia page). Somewhat close - see https://www.correcthorsebatterystaple.net/ for relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/936/


I was thinking along these lines, but we could remember much longer passphrases if they made semantic sense - the words were not random.

For example, here's what ChatGPT comes up with when asked to create some short rhyming passphrases with symbols or numbers:

* "Not all who seek, find."

* "Speak with kindness - inspire greatness."

* "Wise to listen 1st before speaking."

How about this entropy? These are the final bosses of passwords.


AFAIR to choose your major you'd to fill a list of preferences - priority of majors in different IITs. These are then awarded based on merit - rank in the JEE(Joint Entrance Exam). So if you want a specific major at a specific IIT you'll have to get higher ranks in the JEE.

Have seen multiple times in CTFs


Usually the good CTFs don't stoop to stupid tricks like these, to be fair.


fwiw there's a popular symbolic execution tool with the same name https://github.com/trailofbits/manticore

Just got confused for a sec.


I have been using https://hackmd.io/ for quite some time now.


thanks for posting this comment; hackmd looks great!

awesome features, and great that it's open source.
