cool fact: until last year, the bank of montreal only allowed you to have six character long passwords, and they could only use alphanumeric characters (0-9 and a-z), and on top of that, all letters were saved as their T9 equivalent (e.g. "ABC" became "111" because those are the corresponding digits on a phone keypad), meaning that there were a grand total of one million different possible passwords, for a bank with several million users

Car discourse
Not got much to say other than I feel "ban cars" and the subsequent backlash shows the need for us to not try to compress politics down into as small a soundbite as possible. Like, I doubt anyone saying "ban car" wants all cars gone tomorrow without properly implementing public transportation everywhere. But, the nature of politics today is to have compressible soundbites, so even "ban cars *after we get good public transport*" is too much to say.
