That's what I do, but on occasion I've had the message "your new password is too similar to your existing one"

That's why I use GUIDs as passwords...

I would avoid such sites as they are either storing the plain text or using a really weak encryption - a decent encryption will be very different for similar words.

Similarity checks don't need plaintext unless you go with an extraordinarily slow hash function.
var variations = GetAllOneCharactersChanges(newPassword);
foreach (var variation in variations)
{
if (oldPasswordHashes.Contains(Hash(variation)))
{
tooSimilar = true;
}
}
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not necessary. Most "change password" forms require you to enter old and new password. With both at hand they can check for similarity. Now if reset password form tells you about similarity...RUN!

your initials in all caps
a loved one's initials in lower case
a single special character as *, @, etc.
month password created i.e. 02
year password was created i.e. 18
I use this for all my work related passwords. this is especially effective for passwords that need to be changed every n-months.
the important part is that the password remains the same except for the last 4 digits.

Along the same vein, keep the string the same and change the casing
AbcDef1234
becomes
aBcdEf1234
becomes
abCdeF1234
etc
etc
until you run out of combinations then move the numbers to the front and start over.

When your missus is angry with you just tell her she is overreacting, she will realise you are right and calm down immediately.

And always be honest when she asks "Does my bum look big in this?"

I think it is misleading [^] as although you don't 'see her till late, the car should have other mechanisms other than 'sight' to be able to detect her. It does debunk the earlier theory I saw in here where they said a human driver would be aware of someone near the road - you literally don't see her.

I must admit I was a little skeptical of all 'human killed by robot stuff' (humans have been killed by robots before, uprising was not triggered). From the looks of it was someone crossing a road that wasn't busy at night wearing black while not paying attension. Darwin potential?

Quote: you literally don't see her.
But that may be down to the quality of the video - you can't judge from that what a human in the car could see. But yes, as the selling point of these vehicles is their improved safety and efficiency over humans, one does rather feel they failed here.
Having said that, I find the various remarks by the victim's family to be somewhat distasteful - I get the distinct impression their first instinct is about how much money they can get out of this rather than grief for their relative.

It will never be 100% safe. But even 1 accident from time to time is still monumentally better than what we have now.
