I am not sure what you mean.

If the drive is not encrypted, then anybody can read any data. <- OK, that is incorrect. DPAPI is supposed to protect from this by deriving encryption key from your password.

If the drive is encrypted you'd have to know the drive encryption key, which likely (if not necessary) means you are the administrator.
Adding wind or solar is currently cheaper than adding coal. The marginal costs of renewable energy are pretty low. The investment costs are also lower than the damage climate change will cause. If we really wanted to we could switch to 100% renewables, for example by printing more money. But just stopping subsidies for fossil fuels or setting up a carbon tax would be good steps.
It's not like email providers get hacked all the time. Individual email accounts do get hacked.

Find an email provider that provides decent support, i.e. you can call and talk to a real person. Make sure they support 2FA (ideally the non SIM variant). Also recovery tokens that you can write down and stuff like that.

Personally I run my own mail server but I understand that's not everybody's cup of tea.
I compute in metric in the lab, and imperial in the garage. Seems to work out just fine. I don’t really see what the big deal is about switching to metric. Adding fractions of an inch is really not that hard.

And until they can get time into base 10 (60 seconds to the minute, 12 months in a year, 24 hours in day??) it all fails on consistency anyway.

When I recounted the story to a friend who is a drug and alcohol recovery nurse, she snorted and said these kind of pink elephant episodes are common in recovering alcoholics. Although to play the spiritual devil's advocate, one could argue that mortifying the flesh has long been a mystical practice (accessing the etheric plane, if one believes in that modality).

Jung's Red Book [1], written and illustrated during a (debatable) psychotic break and only recently released from his archives in 2009, is also a fascinating attempt to integrate the spiritual with the scientific.

This is what I first thought, but here the auto-login is not enabled by the user, but configured automatically by Windows Update so that it automatically logs in the previous user (and immediately locks the session) after a reboot for installing updates, so that the lock screen apps work.

For the user, everything seems fine: the account is locked after reboot, not auto-logged-in. But the credentials are still readable on the disk.

People are pessimistic precisely because they are aware that if we don't do something about the climate crisis, everything will come crashing down. Being optimistic about it, you might say "don't worry, they'll work out a plan" (whoever they are), and then carry on as before, but being pessimistic, you're more likely to think "we'd better do something, and NOW!".

When you realise that Live Aid was one of the earliest reactions to the climate disaster, and that it was OVER 30 YEARS AGO and no real progress has been made: CO2 emissions have continued to rise exponentially, almost unabated.

When you realise that, you realise there is no cause for optimism.
I've found my raises to be really good (base >10% annually, total comp closer to 25% annually). So the impact of my initial offer would have been not super impactful. Certainly it mattered (10s of thousands of dollars at the start of one's career is valuable), but it hasn't affected my raises positively or negatively, so the overall impact is limited.

As for raises, that's almost right. Given two people performing equally, one who makes more than the other, the lower paid one will get larger raises, until the salaries are approximately the same. If one performs better, they'll get larger merit increases.

This is all subject to the assumptions that the system is fair at rating performance, which I try to ignore when explaining the mechanics to people.

You probably need an SS or Stasi (Nazi / East German secret police) to get people to actually understand and value their privacy. It's just too invisible and intangible of a thing to properly recognize and value, without the "aid" of losing it and experiencing the result.

It's a bit like news sensationalism. It just doesn't get processed because it doesn't trigger your brain's "simple" circuitry. Since you don't notice Google or Facebook building their huge databases with all kinds of information about you, it seems like it doesn't concern you. It doesn't hurt and in most cases doesn't incite fear. And you can't quite hump or eat it either.

Maybe we need some huge privacy disaster to learn this the "hard" way. Seems preferable to a bout of fascism at least. I'm not sure how else we can make headway on this. (And don't get me started on GDPR... it's an annoying dialog box that people click "Accept" on.)
In the Developed world, we don't have to hunt our food. We don't freeze outside. We have comfortable lives in that we have are physiological needs taken care of. Yet, happiness is at an all time low and our psychological needs are neglected. I believe that OP is onto something in that humans are programmed to struggle with something, and if we don't, we start having issues. In my mind this is similar to an autoimmune disease: when our bodies don't have to fight outside pathogens, out white cells start attacking ourselves; this is one theory out there among many of why we develop autoimmune diseases.

Yes, I tried before I wrote my comment :) My experience informed everything I said.

>SlackApp, unfortunately doesn't allow you to be efficient, because it's not meant to be used without a mouse.

I don't disagree it's probably primarily built with mouse users in mind. But nobody here is concretely discussing what Slack (and by extension, all web apps) can do to make their applications more accessible.

The Ethiopian famine, like most modern famines, was largely a failure of government, not a climate problem. People starved because food couldn't move due to strife, and much of that was intentional. Yes, there was a drought, but droughts happen all the time and all over the place, and in a functioning, non-warring country, it's not nearly as calamitous. Live Aid very probably made the situation worse by funding more conflict.
Oh wow. And now that I read this, it dawned on me that any memory technology that is based on storing charge (like DRAM) will have actual, albeit also very very theoretical, mass differences depending on bit value as well...

A lot of these suggestions bear the hallmark of that endearing village crank (pun intended). But at least two things are worth considering:

1. The tendency to have electric appliances for every thinkable mundane task does our bodies no good (nor the environment). While we can go to the gym once in a while to alleviate some of the ill effects, it is much better to incorporate some physical exercise into our daily routines.

2. To be totally dependent on a centralized grid is a recipe for disaster. Many million can be put at risk by a single hacker in a basement as it stands, not to mention when state actors are involved. Electricity should really be supplied by local semi-independent grids fed by local renewable energy sources that are resilient to a collapse of the centralized system. Pedal power could play one (minor) part in such resiliency.

What's wrong with 1553? It's reliable, battle-tested, and the latest revision C was published 28-Feb-2018. In contrast, the RS-232 PHY dates back to 1960, yet it's quite alive and well in modern commercial devices. As a consolation, be glad you've never had to deal with the monster that is STANAG 5516/MIL-STD-6016...if there was such a thing as a "modern" interface standard whose sheer page count (11,410 pages!) would make any sensible engineer reconsider future career prospects.

> I have never understood why siri and google voice assistants have a feminine voice.

Except that they don't. They both use feminine voice in the US market, but Siri is male in many countries. Countries with British English, French, Dutch and Arabic all have masculine voice as the default.

That siri and google voice assistants is a reflection on user studies. Apple apparently did unique studies in all countries which they customized their phone for and thus they use different defaults depending on where the phone is sold.

I think voice is a better interface for setting navigation, music selection. I used it quite often with the google assistant through android auto. Its intergrated into my steering wheel i hold the button and I tell the car what I want. Im not losing focus on the road to find the knob/touchscreen whilst I perform the interaction.

I’m still trying to figure out why every major costs the same. Most non-STEM majors are using the same methods, and devices that were used 50, a hundred years ago.

$50K per year for an English degree vs $50k per year for a Mechanical Engineering degree, the English majors are getting jobbed. Think about all the majors that don’t require the underpinnings of constant technology upgrades, or need the latest and greatest technology.
The "$2000" monitor does not have a BOM anywhere near $2000. The biggest expense, the panel, is the same as the cheap TV, and the PCB isn't that different. You might be paying for calibration and hand-selected panels and likely for being able to sell to businesses as a purpose-built product-- it would look weird to see a TV on your graphic designer's desk next to a new Mac Pro.

The cheapest sets-- the off-off-off brand ones-- are still not smart here. I suspect this is because they're being pitched by bottom-feeder pure-hardware firms-- they don't have the resources to do a software stack (and there's not really an off-the-shelf package with monetization to buy) or the connections to sell the data.
The loss of privacy was not the issue with SS. Then being elite soldiers of group that believed in lack of empathy, domination and valued ruthlessness and loyalty above all else was.

Likewise, the issue with Stasi was torturing, imprisoning and killing people.

I get what you mean, but there is too long slippery slope between privacy on web and these. And they did not slide that way anyway.

I agree. I did contribute to Wikipedia once or twice, but that was quite some time ago and I don't remember the prevalence of any editors at that time. I would like to have political content separated because 90% of contested articles are opinions while common articles have a steady quality. It definitely is a problem, so the current ensemble of editors might be too. They should at least flag it as such.

> When someone complains loudly about censorship, you may be certain they are up to no good.

No, you probably did censor them. You wouldn't even need to promote their views. Just put it in the criticism section and be done with it. It may be value added for every reader, even if the editor already dismissed the opinion.

Wasn't the top admin banned by the foundation few days ago? Someone told me there were controversies... again...

The attitude is indeed disgraceful and pretty much against anything Wikipedia once stood for.

You are implying that we need container migration. I give you one example of how you do not need that. Let's set up an autoscaling group with node count = 10. On node error you terminate the node in trouble. Autoscaling detects that you have less capacity than required. Creates a new instance. You are good. This is a much simpler solution to the problem than trying to think where you container fits, avoiding cascading problems and trying to track the state of your cluster.

Security is very often if not always a trade-off with usability/convenience. In this case the security threat of having your service credentials potentially exposed on a consumer device when it has been physically compromised is traded with the convenience of having your notifications and appointments work when the device is on.

You can debate which side of the trade-off you would prefer to be the default in which case. Microsoft has made choices here, which you might or might not agree with, but at the very least they seem to have thought about it, and don't seem to be 'hiding' their default choices made or forcing them.

The good thing about WireGuard is that it doesn't really have any "complexity and [...] internal mess". A simple WireGuard setup with one client and one server has a 10-line configuration file on each side, with each side knowing their own private key and its peer's public key. I have not used WireGuard for the public VPN scenario, so I don't know if additional firewall rules are required to route traffic from VPN into the public internet, but I would guess as much.
