(updated 2017-03-14)So this blog is no more.First I've moved to squarespace, which doesn't even exist anymore.Then moved to discourse, but that's not really a blogging tool.For a while, I've tried building up one with GitHub Pages, which may come back later but for the meanwhile is just an experiment.They all mostly offered incremental benefits, except for discourse looks and lack of many blogging features on github, which could theoretically be built up.Right now, I'm moving everything to medium. 2017 update: https://medium.cregox.com/fuck-security-questions-90a7a52551f0Then FUCK SECURITY QUESTIONS, DAMN!Also fuck those password requirements!And fuck the whole form, in fact. Use some openAuthID already, such as google, twitter or even freaking facebook, for fucking sake!Security questions are the *easiest* ways to make a security flaw. Apple learned it the hard way. All you need is gather a little info from your prey. The people who are most likely to get hacked will be easier targets with this bullshit.Password requirements, such as "at least one number, one capital letter and one non alphanumeric character" are like "security" doors in banks or metal detectors in airports. They are only an annoyance theater. The only requirement you should ever ask is "type in at least 16 characters" but, even that, fuck it. If the person wants to have a weak password, fuck them! If it's a "poor" old person, fuck them!Fuck. Tell them to go learn to live a little and quit whining. Close the telephone support doors (Google) or make it long lines (Apple).Mother fuckers!You want to alert them? Then ALERT THEM! Do not REQUIRE everyone to do as you please. Make a popup "YOUR PASSWORD IS PROBABLY INSECURE - PLEASE TYPE IN AT LEAST 16 LETTERS" or something.If you HAVE to make that form, if someone is pointing a gun to your head and telling you "MAKE A FREAKING LOGIN FORM", then do it properly. It's not that hard.But it would be better if right after that, you get a gun back to that someone and say "I WILL NOW USE OPENID, FUCKER", and delete the whole thing. another reference: http://www.quora.com/How-do-intelligent-and-accomplished-men-who-prefer-to-date-less-accomplished-and-intelligent-women-deal-with-that-Better-yet-why/answer/Caue-C-M-RegoOnce I wrote a philosophy answer that could probably still turn out to be very unpopular on the usually difficult stack exchange community which addresses this question.We have every reason to believe our universe is deterministic, don't we? We can already predict almost everything that happens when it does happen far enough, from macro to micro, from past to future, everything far away is very deterministic. We can't predict almost anything that's too close, like the Yet, we are daily eluded by mind illusions of reality. Science is, at its core, a procedure to protect us from ourselves when trying to better understand reality. Do read that link.To me it's blatantly obvious free will is an illusion, the future is just as already determined as the past and we have absolutely no choice in determining our life path.That does not take the fun out of living it, at all. I can still jump around thinking I am changing something, and it's surprisingly enjoyable to be eluded.In a way,
