If you mean on Ubuntu, then sure. Ubuntu's target audience is essentially people who want an alternative to Windows/macOS. Not people who want the freedom to use their preferred tools. You think systemd is a sane default and advanced users "just have to change it if they don't like it"? Try replacing systemd on Ubuntu, let me know how it goes. You don't want snaps? Well it looks like it may get harder and harder to not use snaps, because people like you think that it is fine to enforce the most used tools as "the standard". You want to use a tiling window manager? Well many apps will just suck, because people assume that the "standard" is Ubuntu. Same for those apps that require network-manager, or the gnome keychain, etc. The "Linux way", IMO, would be to create CLI tools with minimal dependencies, and then build GUIs on top (maybe even specialized for the latest Ubuntu). But that's not what's happening. You want to use Firefox as a browser, and have a lightweight calculator app next to it? No luck, chances are that your calculator app is shipped with Chromium, because people decided that the standard is Chromium and webapps. And that's if you're lucky, because your calculator may be shipped with a full rootfs in a docker container.

So from my point of view, there are people coming from Windows/macOS to Linux for some reason (apparently not the freedom of Linux, because they don't even wanna know how their system works), and argue against my freedom, because if I don't want the Windows/macOS experience, then I am a weirdo.

> So, yes, there is a set of defaults on Linux.

You mean "the defaults of Ubuntu, which represents most Linux Desktops"? I don't want it. I want the choice to choose the distro closest to my preferences, and let Windows/macOS people choose Ubuntu. But that means that those Ubuntu people should not insist on everyone doing what Ubuntu does.

If it's an epigastric hernia (which is most likely, considering it's caused you no issues and hasn't been operated on) then it most likely developed during the very early foetal stage. Epigastric hernias are largely a cosmetic nuisance as it's just fat from the abdominal wall (not intestinal tissue) that's poking through. However, sometimes that fat can get trapped and cause the area to become sore and red, but the body prunes the trapped fat off and reabsorbs it, unlike an abdominal hernia where trapped tissue can quickly become a life-threatening situation due to sepsis.
You're throwing around accusations of abuse despite the fact that you admit you haven't read literature on it. Why are you contributing your admittedly uneducated opinion on this? Go read some of the literature instead. Stop judging parents you've never met (and yes, despite you saying you're not judging, you obviously are). Just because something worked for you doesn't mean it works for all babies or families, and it's profoundly arrogant of you to assume otherwise.

That was my original thought as well, but reading the article again, it looks like they are talking about putting 5G "cells" on the actual airplanes. Given how much cheaper satellite broadband access has gotten, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Cell phone providers will negotiate with airlines to get their "micro-cell" installed and connected to the existing internet uplink. Once this is fairly ubiquitous, cell phones will be "whispering" to the in-airplane tower, and hence won't bother the cell towers on the ground. A cell provider's goal is to provide access in as many places as possible with as little work required by you as possible - this is one step better than inflight wifi from that regard.
For reading at night it is a delight to invert colors.

Interesting fact: the magnetic variation in Canada changes at a more frequent rate, and some northern airports got tired of updating their runway numbers every year or two so they now use true instead of magnetic headings (I believe indicated on the runway numbers like 17T to indicate true instead of 17 which would indicate magnetic).

We still found ways to have fun.

The Chromebook model issued to students at my middle school powered off when a magnet was placed over the top right corner. After this was first discovered, it because common practice to carry a small magnet around and turn off people's machines when they weren't looking. If you wanted to be subtle, you could use the corner of another Chromebook to pull off the same trick.

Chromebooks use (G)-mail sign-in, and the school generated us all accounts that had the format

e-mail: <firstinitial><lastname><student ID sans the first digit>@schoolname.com

password: <initials><full studentID>

I figured this out a few weeks in, and we had great fun logging into each other's account and sending ourselves incriminating e-mails. Admin figured out after a while and for all successive school years we had random phrases.

All machines had a remote-viewing/tab managing utility installed so that teachers could surveil us as we did our work. Many ``bypasses" came and went over the years, by my favorite was simply abusing Chrome's ability to play flash .swfs and disconnecting from the internet. Once that got out teachers often forced me to sit next to/facing them as I worked.

Another was that only ``real tabs" showed up on the admin viewer -- `New Tab's and similar Chrome-isms would just be a blank screen. You could abuse this by opening Inspect Element on a new tab and writing in an iframe for the website of your choice.

Web filters were often bypassed using interactive browser compatibility testers like Browserstack and Browserling[0]. Not terribly interesting, but it worked just fine for our purposes.

Later, in high school, I wrote a script that autoran on a single machine's local storage no matter who logged on, copying itself to the shared storage. Next, when that user logged on to a different machine, it copied itself back to local. It didn't do anything flashy or obvious, so by the time I graduated, I had a calling card on maybe 75% of the machines in the school. I also aggressively portscanned the whole district, and found some IP cams and Cisco phones that had open (And seemingly unpatched) RCE CVEs. I never got around to doing anything with them, and my only regret is that I didn't pass the knowledge along to someone else before graduating.

If you think that revealing the name of a business discloses the vulnerability, then I question whether you are using "vulnerability" in the standard way or that what you have found is a vulnerability as understood by the software community.

Unfortunately many people do this, thinking that a potential bad outcome of a business process is a "vulnerability" - perhaps they are using vulnerability in the non-technical sense, as in "we're vulnerable to supply chain disruptions".

If you want to do Pelé any favours, I would stick with the ball carrying.

My theory is that InfoPath killed Access. People wanted to use the "easy interface for Nancy in Marketing to submit a purchasing request" and got bogged down with XPath and SharePoint/ActiveDirectory fuckery, and weren't quite to the level where they could grasp MSSQL (or IT had disabled this or that, forcing the one ambitious "computer guy" in Finance to cludge together something with the tools available). Using Access would have been ideal but it was a time when MS was pushing things like InfoPath and Sway and the like, and simultaneously there were issues with concurrency and "omg macro virus" cybersecurity focus. Access got better but it was already tainted.
Unfortunately, solving a cultural problem is the second most difficult thing to do, after changing laws of physics. Or, as some web article I read the other day put it: society is fixed, biology is mutable.

And it's not just about two-income households. From my personal experience I can say that, even with one parent working, a poorly sleeping child can bring the parents to the brink of divorce, or depression, or both. Given the importance of loving, caring, supporting family for a child's overall health, happiness, and future prospects, it's fair to consider some interventions as trade-offs for the sake of the household. The article mentions this near the end, but then mostly dismisses the concern.

> the behavior you exhibit may simply lead to more harm if everyone did it.

This the same justification that is given for all nanny state laws. And I don't find it any more convincing than the justification that is given for encryption backdoors.

The correct way to give people an incentive not to cause harm is to punish them if they cause harm. Not if they do something which you or the government thinks might cause harm if enough people did it. Actual events trump guesses.

> Traffic laws (red lights, speed limits, etc.) provably save lives

Compared to what?

Compared to a society where we didn't punish anyone even when they did actually cause harm, probably yes.

Compared to a society where we did punish people who actually caused harm, but didn't interfere with people who hadn't? I don't think so.

The problem with punishing people who haven't actually caused harm is that they know they didn't actually cause harm but you punished them anyway. That weakens people's respect for the law in general. They start to view the law as a game, where the government tries to catch you breaking an arbitrary rule and you try to avoid being caught. That is how speeding laws, for example, are treated by virtually everyone.

Nobody counts the costs of that when judging laws. But we should. And if we did, I think we would end up just where I am advocating: we would only use the law to punish people who actually caused harm. Sure, put a sign on the road that says "maximum recommended speed 55 mph", as long as it's only a recommendation--if a cop can't randomly pull me over for exceeding the limit just because he happened to spot me, or because it's end of the month quota time and the municipality needs some more income. If I actually cause an accident, and I get penalized more because I exceeded the recommended limit, that's fine; that's what the law is for. But not until I actually cause harm.
If you're a small operation it's not stupid to keep your passwords in a google spreadsheet. Google accounts are seeing attempted cracks 24/7 for the last fifteen years (or more) by nation states and it's been a long time since any of their accounts have been hacked. Remember when someone spliced their optical fiber under the Atlantic Ocean? That's what Google is up against.

If you follow this. Keep your passwords in triplicate because if you fat finger the mouse over a cell it can evaporate (experience speaking here). Three copies means very little chance of losing a password. And keep a backup of course.

Share the spreadsheet among your team. It's very easy to add and delete users.

Yes I know this seems cheezy but sometimes the simplest way is the best. Good for up to about ten team members in my experience.

I haven't seen a single top level comment that demonstrated a complete reading and understanding. Some even willingly admit an inability to process the information. Funny, because I thought this was actually remarkably good scientific journalism! I guess this demonstrates why this technical reporting is rare. It took my wife and I about an hour to read and discuss the entire article.

My main takeaway is the low fidelity of existing studies and methods.

I found it interesting how small the studies are. Maybe they are challenging to operate at scale? What is the point of even talking about a trial with 43 participants split into 3 groups? That seems little better than the anecdotes presented here.

Also interesting to me that cortisol level and wrist actionography are the only quantitative methods... As mentioned in the article (and intuitively) both seem deeply flawed! Perhaps new methods are the next frontier for this research.

“recycling abroad”

It’s not being “recycled abroad”, it’s just being dumped into the third world. China banned imports of plastic waste but no doubt plenty of other countries happily take it.
