Agree, but then again, most of the parroting that has taken place with respect to this entire debacle has served to expose people to many of the issues and practices around online privacy, so there is that (albeit under poor circumstances, but lemons -> lemonade).

What's with the weird goal amount though? Is there some significance there that I'm not aware of?

It seems to be 2^16 * 3

No idea what that means.

It's a regular Hamming number. The 363th. Yeah, not sure what's the significance either.

Maybe the three of them working on it want 64k each because they like round numbers.
