@barriecassidy If David Smith had actually spent any time on the ground in Bean, they wouldn't have missed it. Jessie's campaign was huge, she was everywhere. David Smith in contrast is known here as the "invisible man", most haven't heard of him even though he's represented us for 6 years.

@JamesWard Isn't that how it's always been done?

@MaxDerakhshani @fireflyspace @NASA What that shows is that Clementine's filters covered only a small portion of the visible spectrum. These filters were selected to pick up the reflection spectra of particular elements, and combining them together in a full colour image produces an exaggerated colour effect.

[James Roper @jroper]

@MaxDerakhshani @fireflyspace @NASA Those photos have the colours exaggerated. And they are not even close to full colour - Clementine had a monochrome camera, colour images were produced using narrowband filters, you can see the spectral response of Clementines filters in this image:

@MaxDerakhshani @fireflyspace @NASA Because the lunar surface is black. Find a space/science museum with a lunar rock in it, you'll see that the rock is black like bitumen (which is actually not that black, it shines brightly compared to a black piece of plastic). The whole lunar surface is made out of that.

@fireflyspace @NASA Clearly that's a fisheye lens, we all know the moon's flat.

I detected this because I have CI tests for an API client that was testing that that password returned less than 100 results, and they started failing.

[James Roper @jroper]

@troyhunt Interesting (or maybe not) piece of info for you... your latest import of passwords increased the number of occurrences of "correct horse battery staple" from something less than 100 (it was 5 a few years ago, not sure if it was still that) to 187.

@Matthew__Neaves @archi_tradition Stone bridges are not innately beautiful. They are beautiful because you know there is history in those stones. They have seen centuries of people walking over them, of lives lived. But not in San Antonio. They're fake. There's no beauty in fraud.

@vkrajacic @ThePrimeagen AI is not as smart as they say it is.

[James Roper @jroper]

@TheRealEdDawson https://t.co/RDXQkgNt2z is an excellent criticism of what happened.

[James Roper @jroper]

@TheRealEdDawson Have you not read into the whole Boeing 737 MAX saga? The shocking thing is not the individual issues, like only one sensor, but that time after time the issues should have been caught, but Boeing's drive for profit undermined each one. A real systemic failure.

[James Roper @jroper]

@TheRealEdDawson Nah, redundancy is over-rated. Just ask Boeing. This is an official statement by a Boeing spokesperson: “Single sources of data are considered acceptable in such cases by our industry”.

@octavioqueiroz @Rainmaker1973 Ever heard of working out? Or of doing something just because you enjoy it? A small boat or dinghy is more efficient and/or practical than standup paddle boards, kayaks/canoes, swimming, windsurfing, and many more water sports, yet all of those things are popular.

[James Roper @jroper]

@TheRealEdDawson I'm about to start building games with my son on Arduino. Got a 64x128px oled display, a directional button and some other push buttons. The fun thing is only 2KB of RAM and 32KB of program space to work with. We'll start with Snake.

@ScottsViews89 @MrRexPatrick I'm sure the role of lobbyist will be defined - in particular, by the level of access they have to politicians and senior government officials. In that context, an individual that does have a high level of such access should not be advocating without registering.

[James Roper @jroper]

Bins floating down the road in Malaga at the moment. We've been kicked out of our meeting room for safety reasons, and are sitting on the floor in the hallway of a higher level in the hotel continuing our meeting.

[James Roper @jroper]

@NelProgrammer @javascripted @hot_girl_spring Properly hashed and salted passwords are of no value to anyone if leaked. They are not useful in any way. You can't determine the password from the hash, so you you've got nothing. You can't log in as the user.

[James Roper @jroper]

@javascripted @hot_girl_spring Publishing your full plain text password list to the internet is worse than just storing plain text passwords in the database. Storing plain text passwords is a disaster waiting to happen, but at least it hasn't happened yet. Publishing them is a disaster that has happened.

[James Roper @jroper]

@javascripted @hot_girl_spring You've missed the bigger issue. They're not just passing them around in plain text in code. They're passing them TO A WEB BROWSER in plain text, and then checking them. So anyone can just download the full list of usernames and passwords.
