You log out of a site (manually or it logs you out after a period of inactivity) but don't properly lock your machine when walking away, or put your phone down unlocked, etc.: someone can now access that site as you even though you were logged out. Worse, that can take the password away and use it at a later time on an entirely different device.

It could be argued that if you don't logout/lock devices properly then you are unlikely to log out of sites, but the principal of security in depth requires accounting for partial use of best practise not all-or-nothing.

Also as described in the bug, you could accidentally create multiple accounts with the same password if you are creating or resetting accounts for multiple people (i.e. you are performing some sort of admin role in relation to local users of the site in question).

I can see the usability argument for the feature “behaving as designed” because often when a password cycle is required you have to enter it two or three times (once to set, once to confirm you didn't mistype that first one, then some password reset procedures don't leave you with a valid session so you need to immediately log in again with the new password), but it does strike me as one of those places where paranoia should trump usability.
Ask HN: What Comes After Twitter?
I feel like social media was meant to unify and unite not divide, part of me feels a lot of the division is manufactured by cults of personality.

Is it possible to create a social network that brings together people from all walks of life, like the old school social networks did in the beginning?

If so, what features would such a network need in order to be successful and gain market share?

A few of my ideas include: Gamifying moderation by making it a controversial activity. When something is flagged, it could go into a "controversial fight" where people debate whether it deserves moderation or not. Karma could be earned double for participating in moderation activities, to encourage people to use the feature. But it's more like a community involved thing. Alternately, mod teams could be elected paid positions and up for reelection yearly using ranked choice voting. It might be a cool opportunity to experience ranked choice voting on a wide scale.

Another option might be to use AI to categorize every post based on political leanings (e.g. center left, center right, left field, right field, neutral/apolitical). Profiles could act as a link tree of their own, and potentially even as an aggregator for imported online activity (e.g. RSS feeds, Facebook posts, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.).

In this politically polarized world, it's hard to predict what the next iteration of social media will look like. Will text-based platforms like Twitter continue to dominate, or will a TikTok-style attention grabbing platform for text emerge? What do you think the future of social media will look like, and how can we create a platform that is successful and brings people together from all walks of life?

I’ve looked at this a lot and the only thing that matters is dedicated right of way… because that’s how you can stick to a timetable which is very important to mass transit. BRT projects are supposed to do dedicated pavement for the buses which can make them competitive. However, for many projects that’s the first thing that goes to save costs.

The question is, will they be affected by word itself or the composition of words? Because I can probably make an offensive sentence using most of the words in this list (except tarball, I'm not that creative). But I can also do the same avoiding words from the list and still hurt specific people. So having this list doesn't solve the problem, but it can be used to harm people. You don't like some argument, lets check if we can find a harmful word in it and use that!

Doesn’t want to pay anything—submit for an exception, or pay the Hollywood price to do what she wants.

I don’t see what’s unfair. It would be unfair if she could only build the larger building, and was required to have affordable units—or do nothing.

What _sucks_ is that while her and her family were dealing with these restrictions, there has been a world pandemic, and the economy took a swing towards inflation and higher interest rates.

The family is in a worse spot than if they had paid the 77k upfront.

I’m wondering why their story is getting amplified. I guess this is a turn against cities trying to create regulations promoting affordable housing.

It's actually mentioned in the article:

"The Templars were not the first organisation in the world to provide such a service. Several centuries earlier, Tang dynasty China used "feiquan" - flying money - a two-part document allowing merchants to deposit profits in a regional office, and reclaim their cash back in the capital."
> > The claim that “accessible public transportation” can produce greater equality ignores the fact that mass transit, whether private or public, has generally been used mainly by an elite.

Yes, the elites of poor countries around the world, places with a GDP per capita a 10th of the US one :-))))

One of the first thing poor countries to improve the lives of their wretched (thing people almost starving) is to add bus, tram and train lines so these poor people can go farther away from home to get decent paying jobs.

I actually find it way easier and shorter to review code I've written in J and APL, because it is so succinct and the symbols are well defined. Having to review something that is a paragraph or one page of code is much easier than following pages of other programming languages code. You can comment APL as you can in most PLs, and with the REPL-like dev environment, you can test pieces of code for verification quite immediately and easily. I love APL and J. I am currently using April [1]. APL in Lisp for the best of both worlds - the expressivity of APL (and Lisp), and the CL ecosystem for batteries included. The mix is always surprising.

> IMHO someone being hurt doesn’t mean they need reparation.

There needs to be some kind of end, some kind of closure to hurt - otherwise we have a positive feedback loop that amplifies suffering and eventually turns violent.

> As an example, people mourning are deeply hurt, and they will also be extra sensible to specific words that are mundane but resonate differently to them.

In this and similar cases (bad breakup, loss of health or future prospects or sentimental property, etc.), other people are making a time-limited concession to let the grieving person process their experience. Beyond that time limit, one should not expect others to keep carefully controlling their language for one's sake. One should especially not count on making those concessions permanent.

> That’s an extreme example, but I would see a lot of steps on the spectrum, including for instance my boss hurting my feelings by coldly and factually pointing out how bad of a job I did.

Happened to me the other day, and while I did suffer internally, not for a second I thought they should've been prohibited from saying what they said, or from saying it the way they did. It's not the words that hurt me, but awareness that I'm seen as less reliable in the eyes of the other (coupled with anxiety/fear related to the prospects of my future employment).

Two things strikes me about the article…

1. It oversimplifies too many things. That includes public transit availability, costs, etc

2. It’s US centric. The numbers are based on U.S. numbers. Far too many people think other places are like the U.S.

Where I live public transit doesn’t go where low income folks live and work. While there are exceptions, that’s the rule. So, low income earners often have cars that are at least 10 years old to get where they need to go

At this point, definitely is near linktree, but:

- linktree shows their logo on each profile if it's a Free plan. Veonid does not show a logo, just profile info, so there's less distractions.

- linktree process for creating and editing a profile is not very simple and quick. There's a lot of forms to fill and a lot of buttons to click.

- linktree link requires a name or username, and if you change a username the link will become invalid or misleading. Veonid uses an ID which will never change.

- linktree requires a personal photo as an avatar by default, and if you don't upload a photo, they show a circle with initials. Veonid requires only text — a name and description.

- linktree shows a username on page by default, which is unnecessary for a professional who just wants to show a name and bio.

- linktree's branding and appearance theme options are mostly designed for young audiences, teens, musicians. Veonid is more simple and universal, making profiles more presentable for personal or professional use.

- linktree offers a lot of options which can be overwhelming when you just want to edit content.

- linktree allows just 1 profile per 1 account. With Veonid, you can create multiple profiles from 1 account, each profile with its own URL.

And this is just a v1 for Veonid. The plan is to make it more capable in the future for showing more types of content rather than more appearance themes. The ultimate goal is to make it easy to create and manage personal websites as your own space or stage from which you can present yourself and publish your work and your thoughts, without anything blocking people from accessing it such as platform branding or requirements to sign up or subscribe, which is what most website building, publishing and social media platforms do.
Why any VPS provider doesn't delete my VPS outright, instead nagging me for the payment?

Why any e-mail provider doesn't delete my account if the payment weren't received in time?

Why AWS/Az should outright delete my services as soon as the money on my pre-paid account hit $0?

> Storage costs money too, simply shutting down the services won't quite cut it.

Until you give AWS/Az $B in storage costs it costs nothing for them to store your measly couple of TBs of data for a month, till you sort out your money situation.

And to give you a perspective on the situation: I have a service in AWS. Every month AWS sends me tons of letters of how it can't charge me for the service, how this can lead to a service cancelling, what should immediately run and punch in a working card to the account or else.

The thing is what the cost of the service is ... $0.51/month. For $6 I could've had a year of nag-free service, for $60 I could've had a 10 years of nag-free service. I would happily thew not even $60, but $100 to AWS so I could just forget it about it, instead they spend more resources trying to charge me every month and sending me all those scary letters.

> complex cloud services are not.

There is absolutely nothing what would prevent something to alert you (or disable, if you wish so!) if your current spending is 5x or 10x of your previous month. In OP's situation this is 66x difference.

He's not advocating for "commoners to live an ascetic life". On the contrary, he keeps pointing out that we want the few billion people who currently live in Africa, Asia, South America and consume one tenth the energy consumed by the average American to be able to increase their standard of living, and thus, their energy consumption.

Where are you on this topic?

If you then envision a doubling of energy consumption, how do you square it with achieving net zero? Bill Gates has a plan, and he bothered to write it down in details.

As for his personal carbon footprint, he's rich enough to afford carbon offsets, which he buys [1]. Does that constitute "setting an example by the life he leads" ?

> but is still just a web page

Isn’t that exactly the point? Please, no pagination on a screen. A web page will do just fine. In fact, that was what the www was conceived for: publishing science.

> open the accompanying PDF, […] of much higher quality.

The only thing that is higher quality in the PDF is the justified alignment and pagination. The figures have the same (poor) resolution.

The bottom line is:
* it is perfectly possible to publish technical papers in a format that is accessible on a phone.
* non-paginated, free flowing output also works better on larger screens (e.g) I can resize the window and have my note-taking app open next to the paper.
* PDFs are still great for annotating and printing, if required.

c. Poorer communities just aren't a priority for most cities, at least not until recently.
