> Keep it short: every recurring contributor will have to read it. Additionally, the shorter it is, the less likely it will be invalidated by some future change. This is the main rule of thumb for ARCHITECTURE — only specify things that are unlikely to frequently change. [...] Start with a bird’s eye overview of the problem being solved. Then, specify a more-or-less detailed codemap. Describe coarse-grained modules and how they relate to each other. The codemap should answer “where’s the thing that does X?”. It should also answer “what does the thing that I am looking at do?”. Avoid going into details of how each module works

"The expected rate of return[ing a wallet] was 23% and the actual return was over 80%.[38] In the same vein, the 40-country study showed actual return to be much higher than expected (1.8 times). Finally, two-thirds of 200 wallets dropped in 20 North American cities were returned, [...] double that expected by US respondents to the wallet stranger question in our 2019 data.[40] Collectively, these data on expected and actual wallet return show that people are far too pessimistic about the benevolence of others."

"wallets were returned 40% of the time when they [contained] no money, and over half (51%) the time when they contained money"

"Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure is het op een verantwoorde wijze en in gezamenlijkheid tussen melder (de ethische hacker) en organisatie openbaar maken van kwetsbaarheden in de ICT-systemen van die organisatie. Iedereen kan een kwetsbaarheid melden bij een bedrijf, overheidsinstantie of andere organisatie. Personen die dergelijke kwetsbaarheden zoeken worden ook wel ethische hackers genoemd. Na een melding heeft de organisatie de gelegenheid om de kwetsbaarheid op te lossen en te voorkomen dat de kwetsbaarheden misbruikt worden door derden. Meldingen van kwetsbaarheden dragen bij aan de veiligheid en continuïteit van ICT-systemen. Enerzijds door kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen, anderzijds doordat het bijdraagt aan het algemene ICT-veiligheidsbewustzijn van organisaties binnen en buiten Nederland."
