  • Sure just if fully given in this way it’s basically the same as an 11 character password.

    Only of the attacker knows whether it’s a password or phrase. I’d argue that passwords are far more common and that’s what a cracker would focus on first.

    should be resistant to attacks even if there is perfect knowledge of how it was generated

    As far as I know there still is no way to create actual randomness. You’ll still have some pseudo-random number generator and a hopefully unguessable seed. If you have “perfect knowledge” about that, cracking the password is almost trivial.




  • I didn’t mean they only last 2 years but battery degradation is a pretty common and known thing.

    By a quick search I didn’t find any claim of storage battery lifetimes outside of 10-15 years, so there doesn’t seem to be a breakthrough in tech I wasn’t aware of. 15 years is hardly the lifetime of a house, so you certainly don’t “buy only once”.

    Solar panels also don’t work indefinitely but their efficiency degradation is more on par with the lifetime of major parts of the building, like the roof itself.










  • Good default, I’m of the same opinion, in general. We should only restrict entry age if simple education isn’t enough - as can be seen by teen suicide rates rising in parallel with the spread of social media.

    Sugar isn’t restricted but alcohol and tobacco are. Why is that? Because there’s a difference in addictiveness and possible harm done.
