1. I'm super curious what your tweet said. I suppose it's gone forever now, no?
2. Re: password brute forcing: Do you have any idea for how long hackers actually try? If I have a pw that's hackable in 2 weeks, does the hacker give up by then? Their computing power is limited, right? So would it pay to keep going for 2 weeks with uncertain payoff, or go onto others with potentially shorter pw's? Also, the hacker has no idea that my it'll take 2 weeks. What if it's 2m years?! All things being equal, better computing power is bad for our pw safety b/c it lowers the cost of hacking. More computing power = more need for better pw's? Feeling safe with my sentence-long master pw and 40-character mixed pw's right now!
Screenshot of the tweet is here. Was a reply to a tweet about Putin going into negotiation without stopping shelling and basically offering nothing and asking for Ukraine to surrender:
On passwords, I'd turn on 2-factor auth everywhere you can and install an app like Authy on your phone. Much better. Passwords often leak and then attackers have a master list of passwords that they try on various sites, because people re-use passwords.
So say your password leaks from some crappy little site, but attackers can get into your Gmail because of it, and then they get banks to reset passwords to that Gmail and then have access to your bank, etc.
I think you commited the "beginner mistake" of warfare/confrontational twitter accounts.
First, it is a good that you are a beginner in "confrontation twitter" since this is not a place to stay, it gets dirty quickly.
What I mean is that people who share horrible ideas and make propaganda know very well that they can hurt you by forcing you to violate the TOS of twitter. They know exactly what to say and keep "walking" a few inches from the red line of the twitter TOS, but someone who gets triggered may make a mistake that pushes him/her to tweet something that they know can cause an account suspension.
Good to be aware -- though in this case, it wasn't the case. Who I was replying to isn't a troll, he was sharing some news and I was agreeing with him by paraphrasing the bit of news in my own colorful way (war is horrific, so yes the metaphor was horrific, but in no way a threat...).
But you make a good point, and I've certainly had my fair share of Kremlin trolls pop up in the replies lately, trying to waste my time with their non-sequitur stuff... I just mute or block them and move on.
Not wishing for you to be a analyst, but would love to hear your thoughts on valuing a company. What's your approach for something like Snowflake or constellation.

I think it was kicking that dog that got you sent to the slammer.
I use Keeper. On master and different pw's for everything, usually 40-characters with symbols, etc.
Twitter can't do anything about propaganda troll farms and scammers and spammers, but they sure banned me quickly.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was very effective in getting you banned.
