In universe of perfectly slippery spherical cows, I wouldn't mind. However, in this universe bikes experience wear, I wouldn't be able to spontaneously decide to use it, etc.

Yes, but it only has to be done once.

It's interesting to see the epistemological differences at the frontiers of knowledge.

"These results suggest that diffusive motion [random walks] in Mexican jumping beans does not optimize for finding shade quickly," the authors concluded. "Rather, Mexican jumping beans use a strategy that minimizes the chances of never finding shade when shade is sparse."

I'd be way more concerned of someone who doesn't change their mind.

I found that a big jump in my quality of design was when I started thinking about what state was necessary, what transformation needed to be done, and by what entity. Before that, I used to code for the task at hand, and create data structures mostly for the task at hand. Thinking about what each program might need to know and in what format relative to it's role just made things smoother.

It wasn't a large leap conceptually, but the mental model change came from a long lost hacker news comment along similar lines.

Yeah, my argument with the knives was pretty weak and I was trying to make the point you make in your last paragraph. I think I meant to type "lying around children". I should've said bombs.

I'm convinced that this idea that technology is completely neutral is wrong. It is not neutral in the face of human psychology. The human species is a different animal that the human individual, and it is powerful, but does not make truly conscious decisions.

Once you let the genie out of the bottle, a wish will be made. A technology might not be inherently bad, but neither are knives, and we don't leave those lying around.

That said, it is the human species that develops technology, rarely is one human individual capable of holding back a technology.

I wonder if this could be the first step in harnessing lightning energy.

Same, but I imagine doing it in a country house with a table looking out into a lovely garden, and a mountain path nearby for long walks thinking about things.

I really don't think that's the case for router manufacturers.

Or have fewer attack surfaces. Like notoriously buggy routers.

> it would be much saner to expose an SSH server with pubkey-only access or VPN

It would be safer to leave open to the public only a secure protocol based on strong cryptographic keys instead of a password. Or you have to be signed in to a VPN to see the page.

> brute forcing protection

Try too many passwords? Try again in 1 minute. Again? 30 minutes

> allow tunnelling to the router UI only from the LAN side

I think this one means don't expose it to the internet at all. Just from your local network. >

Where'd you find this? The study?

I ctrl+f'ed a bunch of the links and I didn't see the word smoke.

I'm very surprised at how much data costs in Canada.

In India, it costs me 7.43 USD for 84 days of 1.5GiB high-speed 4g data per day (plus unlimited calling). After that it drops of to a lower speed, but you can top off cheaply.

That's $0.058 per GiB or $0.00005 per MiB

Somebody had downvoted you, not the article. I wanted to know what they had against your point :)

I'd rather someone explain if/why they're wrong than downvote them please.

Works perfectly for me on fedora 33!

I'm not convinced. The criticism against the agencies is that they grossly overstep their bounds and commit atrocities. Not that they have bad intel. Trump quite clearly saying whatever was politically expedient.

For me that means that I can be intensively productive in intense bursts when I am engaged.

Pre-treatment OP sounds like me now.

I am arrogant in that I am always confident I can finish the tasks I have later. The problem is that even though I consistently do, it doesn't feel good, and sometimes unexpected outside influences will kill the tight margin I've left myself.

Nice thought, but browser extensions should be installed extremely selectively. All it takes to compromise your browser is one extension author taking a huge bribe to pass control to a malware author. I only install for critical functionality. Mild conveniences begone.

I'm here can counterspam this with tools they have on-hand. Please?

Crypto noob question: Wouldn't it be prudent to switch to something like ECDSA(heardsay that it is stronger) if there was even a hint that it was possible?

If a major government got wind that such work was going on, wouldn't it be prudent to publish before you are disappeared? I assume high-profile crypto research people are spied on.

Full disclosure: I work for RH, my opinions are not theirs, and work with K8s operators, not OS stuff, and I did not write this post.

It's a generic API for automated provisioning. It asks you to make some decisions up front (what do you want to do when an instance goes down or has a new version available), and lets you forgo making some (like which nodes your instance should run on).

It's not more complex. If you're small, the overhead is probably not worth it. If you're big enough, you manage the k8s control plane, and you don't have to manage your tenants infra.

Is a programming language too complex for hello world? Perhaps, but that's not all it does.

That article is about WhatsApp being used to coordinate a lynch mob in India (a villager suspected them of being kidnappers). Tragic, but not relevant

This is disputed.

They're shouting at you not to buy it!

> I'd say it's not only a tautology, it's plain false.

And that, my friends, is a contradiction!

That's what is being threatened, other browsers. Google is throwing its weight around to try and enforce browser standards that are bad for a lot of people. Just like with amp.

> It's much, much safer, because the app can't see or hijack the login process - it doesn't get access to the login form and can't phish you with it.

Apps that try this shouldn't be running on your computer. This is not much safer, it's negligibly safer with a significant cost.

The irony.
