The point of machines is that they do a single task better than us. A dishwasher is superhuman at washing plates but nothing else. If we model machines to be more like us they will end up with the same disadvantages of a normal human. At that point why not employ real humans in the first place?

So, how about tagging individual comments and then voting for the tags?

Oh shit, my code is O(1), looking at it in the profiler tells me that it's not a bottleneck (it says < 5ms). Yet this single function call somehow takes 78ms in wall time when it should at worst be 1ms (and even that is too much). The reason? JVM classloading/JITing. This quite annoying when you have shortlived applications.

Because in most cases n is a very low number. If you only have 10 elements the algorithm doesn't matter.

You know it's kind of ironic. How is the customer even supposed to know how insecure these systems are without blog posts like this one so they can avoid bad companies?

I think you might be late to the party. It's widely known that these systems don't have any kind of security at all. The potential criminals already had this information for a long time.
