Gnu screen can connect to serial ports so you can use any terminal emulator as a serial terminal.
The terminal is used to contact the constellation as well as Starlink's backend servers.

If the remote machines have the assumption of trustworthy terminals baked in, then this isn't a low threat hack.
Oh wow I had no idea they emulated a VT100. That's awesome!

Actually, I'm glad its a method with a long-ish name. Operator-overloaded string concatenation makes something that can ruin your performance look innocent.

Tolerate speech. Don't tolerate violence.

It's not that hard in practical terms. Most children know this... it takes academic philosophers to turn it into a quaqmire.
Assuming this for the sake of argument, it might not be cheap. Maybe we're talking about small portable fusion engines that cost half a trillion dollars a piece to make, and have a very short, single-purpose shelf life.

Remember the Area 51 lawsuit where workers sued over being exposed to toxic fumes and chemicals, and as a result the facility was exempted from all environmental laws? Maybe the byproducts of creating this energy are more toxic and dangerous than spent nuclear fuel, but it's the government and the government doesn't give a damn, but there's no feasible (much less legal) way to mass produce the technology.
Yeah that is kind of what I was low key trying to impart. That I couldn't be sure it was working. Certainly it was no silver bullet
Handwave all you want, but the topic at hand is a possibility of securing devices against physical access attacks. And it's not only possible, it's pretty straightforward if you don't suffer from NIH syndrome.

And as an example satellite TV providers did it (or acquired a license for it). If you're saying that incentives to hack them aren't there anymore, then that's just wrong because the foundation on which such security is based on affects many things.

Declining popularity of SatTV as a whole in a particular country is neither here, nor there. If a hacker mentioned in the article could hack a CA system, he would've.
Except wind and solar are intermittent, and require burning fossil fuels during periods of non production. Thus, wind and solar still contribute to climate change indirectly, due to their dependency on fossil fuels. This will continue to be the case until some massively scalable storage solution is developed, which remains unsolved.

I just learned so much from this post's comments. Thank you all for sharing in this.
It's so very sad watching this all play out again, having tried to warn people but they insisted programming was recession proof, there was no bubble, no recession, etc.

This is why we keep repeating the same mistakes. Those in power do it knowingly and the younger generation of workers knows no better.

Just a few weeks ago I warned of this in the uber hiring freeze post, and there were staunch deniers.
I think it is much more mundane. The mythology around secret aircraft makes them out to have super-performance or strange advanced characteristics, when these things probably weren't true at all.

I would believe exactly the opposite. Things like "flying saucers" were attempts at secret advanced aircraft which worked, but not particularly well, and never really went on to be anything more than experimental aircraft. Leaks happened from time to time to prod adversaries to worry and try to develop competing technology to waste their time and resources.

The F117 looks pretty alien, that one worked though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-117_Nighthawk

There are probably a handful of other examples, aircraft that were tried but never made to work very well, work on new principles of design that haven't been figured out yet, and are still on the drawing board with various attempts to make them work ongoing.
The value of this attack isn't breaking into the terminal itself, but that it allows the end user to modify the control channel to the satellite. It allows internal inspection of the protocols, authentication, data formats, etc between the terminal and the satellite itself.

I assume that the actual received and transmitted packets from the terminal are encrypted so "outside in" inspection is very very difficult.

The CMBR requires the existence of a dense, optically thick, hot state early in the universe. That's pretty much the Big Bang. There's nothing speculative about that, it follows from rather simple physics.

But anyway, give an alternative model that explains it. I'll wait.
Unfortunately it won't display without JavaScripts. You can easily fix this by a <noscript> block with the link to the Markdown file; if it is not possible, instead include a description about how to find the Markdown file.

Another alternative that I would suggest is to just serve the files directly (in Markdown or Gemini or PDF or whatever other format they might be). To allow working in a web browser, one idea is to try to implement my idea of a Interpreter response header in web browser, which would be used if the web browser does not understand the file format (if the user has not disabled the use of the Interpreter header). This way, potentially any file format can be implemented.

There is also question about different variants of Markdown. Well, the way to indicate that is by parameters in the MIME type, I think; you can specify if it is Commonmark or something else. This way you can tell which variant it is.

One problem with MIME is that indicating multiple file formats does not work very well. UTI specifies that it is a specific kind of another file format but it must be specified in another file instead of this one and does not have parameters, and has other problems, so UTI is not good either. That is why I wanted to make the "unordered labels file identification" which you can specify, in the same identification, multiple types/parameters, e.g. "text[367]:plaintext:markdown+commonmark".
There was an interesting idea in my country that predictably got massacred in the media:

A CO2 budget. High enough that poor people could still fly to Spain once a year low enough to block yuppies from sightseeing Nepal or New York.
Obviously the wealthy would never allow it- virtue signaling on HN about how long they use their iPhone is one thing.
Better now than to be fired or forced out due to personality conflicts in a year. Sometimes a bad fit is invisible until you are in the trenches - insufferable bosses might be hard to see before. Is it worth slogging on? I don't know your bosses, perhaps you will learn to tune it out or they will back off when you aren't new any longer.

(And it is refreshing to see per se used correctly. Thanks!)
The government tends to include operation costs. The 2 billion per plane includes the cost to run the things over their lifespan. so the equation to get it is something like.

I like what I've seen of Objective-S; I completely support and appreciate the thought you've put into it, but I don't think that's a great claim to make.

Implicit is the claim that C, Lisp, Modula-2 are not general purpose languages, which is ridiculous. You may not want to deal with C's various problems, and it may take pages and pages of code to do in C what one line of Objective-S could do, but doesn't mean it can't be done.

If you are concerned with waste, don't buy a new phone.

Instead of being stuck with a phone from 5-6 years ago, you can buy last year's flagman device for half the cost, if you feel like it.

I did not buy a brand new phone for last 14 years. Keeping the same phone for all that time would be rather limiting.

(I have a working Motorola phone from 2007, it runs Linux and has a web browser! It lacks 4G connectivity, GPS, wireless charging, and the camera is so-so by modern standards.)

Carbon steel works great! The first time I used it I was kind of shocked that such a simple solution isn't the standard way it's done. Cast iron can be a little bit inconvenient due to the weight but carbon steel is literally no different from cooking in a teflon pan, you just clean it different.

I agree with the AD part. A lot of the comments in this thread seem to focus on applications. Sure, that's a little bit of an issue. MS Office is a good example of that. But applications aren't the main roadblock at this point - most things are web based these days anyway. And I'm sure with enough work you could setup a perfectly acceptable user environment, too. What I'm surprised not to see mentioned are the management capabilities - things like group policy, SCCM, WSUS and the like. I just can't imagine trying to maintain a fleet of hundreds or thousands of linux desktop computers. I imagine it would be like herding cats.
Gun ownership has a long-term downward trend. Part of this is non-government factors like change in population from rural to urban, changing demographics, occupations, etc. But we can't rule out that part of this drop may be contributed by the additional barriers placed, such as great expansion of who is a felon, expansion of domestic violence firearm restrictions including some local agencies charging someone every single time a policeman is called out for DV no matter what actually happened, NICS (which can wrongly deny people who then have to appeal), increasingly difficult to navigate carry laws such as the gun-free-school-zone act that can incriminate someone for merely being within 1000 feet of a school with a gun. The no-fault divorce era has also seen the weaponization of spousal restraining orders during divorce, which have the effect to disarm while also being a bargaining chip and ace during divorce proceedings and a way to beat down your spouse with the court by leaving them helpless and disarmed even in many cases where the spouse has done nothing criminal. And then there is the attack on anyone who happens to have guns and gasp pot at the same time, as is seen in the federal charges against "FPS russia" who was disarmed because the feds didn't like he smoked a vape pen with his girlfriend.

There seems to be a somewhat slow boil in the United States, starting with the NFA, then the GCA, the hughes amendment, and a myriad of state and local laws.

Excel excels as an exploratory / rapid prototyping tool.

Excel fails as an app development and execution platform, and specifically one integrated into a core business process.

Everyone who's worked in enterprise long enough has seen both. It'd be great if there was an enforceable "modern mode" Excel flag that kept people from going nuts with macros and programmability, while retaining all its strengths.

IMO, the biggest risk is infant exposure. Infants are exposed to more micro plastics than adults [1]. Bottle fed babies may be exposed to over 1.5 million particles of microplastics per day on average [2].

We avoid plastic in our kitchen (especially heating it in the dishwasher and microwave) but plastic is difficult to get away from when pumping breast milk. All pumps on the market, aside from silicone hand pumps, have plastic parts that require sanitization after every use.

Right, but while that's a bunch of stuff the syntax here isn't intimidating.

It's a mutable reference to an Arc of a Mutex of an Option of a Box of MyStruct.

You presumably could build yourself one of these in C++ although since the standard mutex in C++ can't actually protect anything (you're supposed to just remember to lock it anywhere you need to, you know, because C++ is a language for people who never make mistakes) you would need to build that part yourself.

And if you did build that yourself in C++ the syntax for the type would look rather similar, although I guess C++ allows you to just say auto meaning, "I dunno, guess" for the return type in a function signature whereas Rust insists you must actually write return types and don't leave them for the compiler to figure out.
Also neighbour. Somehow I suspect the inclusion of those words wasn't entirely coincidental.

Over the years I have probably tried (and used) every feature that was added to Excel.

With growing wisdom I came to the conclusion that I will only use the most basic features (i.e. simple formulas using adding, subtraction, multiplication, division) when I need to share a sheet with third parties. Nearly all users are not proficient in the more advanced features - making collaboration an error prone hell.

To make things worse: Excel by nature is not made to be audited. That’s why I tend to add a generous amount of checksums or similar (visual) flags to my worksheets in order to catch errors early.

Excel is dangerous!
I use stainless steel pans, which are great. They are pretty much indestructible and not as expensive as I imagined. I think it's less than $100 for a stainless steel frying pan and I just use butter or olive oil to oil the pans and it's great. Sometimes things get burnt but an SOS pad a little elbow grease and it's back to normal.
> That for sure is triggering folks who take themselves very seriously.

I don't think anyone in the field is triggered by some guy pursuing his interest in aliens and UFO.

What they get triggered about, is that guy using his relatively large platform to say that anyone not agreeing with him is part of the establishment or otherwise useless, or to say that there is no other possible explanation to a certain phenomenon than aliens, or to be insulting to another colleague during an online talk.
Sure but the fact that it exists and is inevitable has nothing to do with the yelling at each other about it — especially at lower levels of play where it’s generally safe to say that anyone who thinks they’ve identified the meta has done so poorly, and likely understands none of the real trade offs (if they understood it well, they’d likely be at higher levels).

And more importantly, at lower levels of play the meta is generally far less important than fundamental mechanics in terms of actually winning consistently.
Constexpr all the things is kind of a super-power of C++. Zig has an even more powerful comptime feature, but that's an aside.

Then you'd enjoy watching videos on YouTube about why shooting things into the Sun is enormously energy intensive even by the standards of putting things in space and sending them around the Solar System.

It's the exact point they are making. The union of all dislikes and eloquently put putdowns is exactly what many of us bring with us in our heads every day.
Admittedly, those items could be dealt with at the application later, and for that price you got something very fast.

And fast back then meant cheap. Hardware was more expensive than people. It’s reversed now, of course, and we want extra layers and thing to make developers more productive. But back in the MySQL heyday, that was not the case, and I for one am glad something like it was around.

You are projecting. I've never suggested anything close to every game item works with any game. If you go up to my first post in this chain you will see that I say that they even need to show up in the game.

In an open more simulator single player game there wouldn't be that much of an issue. If someone has a car that goes 1000 mph then that's what they get. As a game designer your physics system way not be able to handle that or for multiplayer the balance wouldn't work. This can be solved by putting limits on the stats.
