This is so believable. You copy a few examples out of a textbook using cout and cin and it seems reasonably inline with other languages.

Batman in an interrogation room pins joker to the wall.

Batman: “I’ve only got one rule”

Joker: “Then that’s the rule you’re gonna have to break to get what you want”.

Now I hate Marvell and all super hero movies but I do find that quote applies to a lot of things.

If you’re truthful or law abiding then law breakers have an advantage on you. They’ll try and undermine free and fair elections.

If you’re a pacifist then people will use violence to try and control you, such as terrorism, or simply ignore your laws.

If you have socialism then people will pour in from other countries or try to exploit the system in whatever they can.

If the police or strict or lax in either direction it causes upset.

Whatever you say is a law, or a line you won’t cross, is something that people will exploit.

You Underestimate people’s unwillingness to cooperate. We’re all born different in ability and attractiveness and this breeds distrust that undermines what people are willing to contribute or take.

You have to configure the users device at the start to give you your own codes back…

I think it’s because TOTP requires some sort of initial token sync that is more complicated than entering a telephone number. There’s also no need to have people backup codes etc. To use Authy for example I need to photograph a QR code and have a smart phone.

Text message as a solution works on older non-smart phones so it’s possibly the “most widely accessible” solution.

From a backend perspective as well it’s just an API text $random to $phone.

In London we call an empty bus a “poor man’s Limo”. I was lucky enough to enjoy that this morning for a few stops.

Solving the car problem might be easier than solving the capitalism problem.

I hate Elon musk but Tesla is the best thing that happened to this planet because no other car manufacturer was bothered to do the groundwork required to get electric cars going. They lie and spread corruption before Elon came along.

Uber has never turned a profit for 14 years. I’m guessing it’s windows central who is facing bankruptcy, intellectually speaking.

I can’t find it now but I saw a meme that was the same template but it said:

Dude: I took a screenshot of the database Woman: you mean a snapshot …
