Agreed. I would say backwards compatibility at this point hinders development and it shows in windows when you're looking at 5 different UI's. I have a 4k monitor, and the installers all look blurry because they can't scale up. We can't even get decent looking icons that were created in the last decade.

Honestly, I think a barebones, absolute minimist windows OS would be something that interest a lot of technical users. You can only stack shit so high.

But, you need to make sure the extra controls are actually providing depth.

I think in some (very narrow) cases, short session times and aggressive reauth do add depth and can be an effective part of a security program.

But, all too often, defense in depth is used to mean:

* Vendors In Depth, whereby every security tool under the sun has to be deployed (or at least purchased) to achieve “security”. Or, worse, the Noah’s Ark model where you buy two of everything.

* Uncoordinated and/or seemingly random layering of controls that either don’t add to the overall confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system being protected. Or, worse, are positively counterproductive and actively reduce the real-world security of the system.
A source for having the right of way meaning that you shouldn't exercise caution?

I don't care what the right of way rules in the UK are, I'm taking exception to your argument that exercising caution implies lacking a right of way, suggesting that having the right of way means you don't have to exercise caution. The right of way is only relevant if you survive to hash things out in court, it won't bring you back from the dead. Even if you have the right of way, you'd be suicidally stupid to not still exercise caution, particularly when doing something usual and obviously dangerous.

People often don't realize just how much energy is required to reach even the nearest star in reasonable time. Of course it depends on how long you're willing to take to get there.

I forget the exact numbers but if you start making assumptions like 1G of acceleration up to somewhere between 0.01c and 0.1c you have a travel time between 40 and 400 years to reach Alpha Centauri and an energy cost per kg of payload in the exajoule range. That's as much as 1% of the mass as energy assuming you have a perfect conversion of mass to energy. This is getting into the realm of all the energy we produce and use for the entire planet in a year.

Of course we have nothing like that. We don't even have a theoretical framework for that other than possible matter-antimatter annihilation but even then you have containment issues and have to perfectly convert that to motion in the desired direction. That is nontrivial.

Our best hope for doing this and carrying our own fuel is nuclear fusion (or possibly by detonating nuclear bombs behind you; yes, seriously). Even here the tyranny of the rocket equation [1] just kills you from the weight of the fuel you have to carry. Also, exhaust velocity limits how fast you can get no matter how efficient your energy production.

The only viable way may in fact be to capture energy from the sun and focus it at your ship to accelerate it. Photos have no rest mass but they do have (and can impart) momentum, which is what this article is talking about.

I don't know why they'd be using ground-based arrays. You'll end up cooking the atmosphere this way and losing energy if you don't. A laser array like this really has to be space-based, practically speaking.

Of course you have the issue of how you decelerate at the other end. This is a not-insignificant problem that probably rquires sending automated probes ahead to construct the necessary infrastructure to decelerate you.

So this article uses gigawatt level power to accelerate a "spaceship" of a few grams. I'm not sure what you do with that exactly but this goes to just how high the energy budget requirements are.

Even all the hopium over various FTL methods (eg Alcubierre drive, wormholes, space-folding) have no theoretical basis (eg requiring negative mass and/or energy) but even if they did the energy requirements are completely ignored. If you look into it and arrive at any numbers at all it's things like "convert 1 Solar mass into energy".

> Adding support and maintenance fees also creates this misalignment of incentives. The community wants easier and simpler configuration, debugging etc… but the maintainers get support work if the project is difficult to configure, so naturally it’s not in their interest make the project easy to fix/configure…

In my experience, if the community really wants something, they'll build it and open a pull request. The company behind the project isn't required to make things easier to e.g. self-host. Not accepting PRs that do make things easier for the community but may hurt upsell incentives otoh would be very bad, I agree with that.

Attempt at ELI5:

We cut down a tree, and not much changes (except for the sound, maybe :). We cut down a forest, and things still seem okay. We replace many forests with pastures, and everything appears fine. We prevent forests from regrowing, and everything continues to function as expected.

However, if we continue this pattern for a long time, eventually the forests reach a breaking point. They lose their ability to retain water and generate new rain, causing them to dry out and cease sending moisture further inland. With even less rainfall in those areas, the forests dry up and die out, worsening the problem.

https://phys.org/news/2022-08-global-forest-area-capita-decr...

Over the past 60 years, the global forest area has declined by 81.7 million hectares, a loss that contributed to the more than 60% decline in global forest area per capita.

We use short sessions to protect patient information from unauthorized access in systems that we build. Yes, you shouldn't leave your machine unprotected but real humans do. Sometimes, you may trust someone with access to your computer but they shouldn't necessarily access certain protected systems. Especially in HIPAA-land, short sessions are a really effective way to make systems usable while still limiting how much damage can be done even accidentally.
As a general thought - I've never understood why this pattern isn't used more commonly with existing software.

Like, why is it so important that your database run on a separate server from your api code?
This is definitely the fault of the fire truck. Look at the intersection:

There's no way that a car going through a green can see a fire truck coming from a side street.

That the fire truck hit the car instead of stopping means it was driving too fast to safely go through the red.
>You will own nothing. And you will be happy.
In linguistics these are called "phatic expressions", and are far from unique to American English. Similar to idioms, phatic expressions don't have the literal meaning implied by their component words and instead serve a social purpose (in this case, serving to signify the beginning of a communication protocol). In British English the analogous phrase would be "you alright?"

https://youtube.com/watch?v=eGnH0KAXhCw
Also good to keep in mind as a driver is that fire trucks are often also tankers. They are big and heavy to begin with but very well might also be carrying a couple of thousand gallons of water. They cannot stop quickly. That's why they are always blasting their horns in addition to the screaming sirens. So get out of their way.
I love my X1 tablet gen 1, but I need to repair the screen on it. Not sure if it's still true for the gen 3, but the gen 1 had a lot of modular parts you could add, like an extra battery that also gives you an HDMI port. Plus, I had this ridiculously nice solid carrying case.

> Such requirements kill fiber development. Laying fiber is expensive, and having to lay it through neighborhoods where most people won’t or can’t subscribe just increases the price for everyone.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. I've worked with and for several telcos, I know the value of a customer that is locked into older infrastructure. Fiber is not more expensive, it's upgradable and properly done it's reasonably future-proof and Telcos know it. So no, these requirements do not kill fiber. These requirements force telcos like comcast to be competitive and not selective where fiber is installed. I know this because directional drilling is a very low-cost installation at about $10 a foot, permits for a neighborhood run you about $5000 and fiber runs will cost another $6 a foot. Now fiber network gear can be expensive, but again I remind you that I've worked with telcos... they already have most of the big bad gear in place and only need to put in more expensive singlemode runs to rural areas. So I call bullshit.

So heres my life because of telcos that make these complaints and politicians just don't give a shit:
I've been in my house for a few decades and until this year my only choice was Comcast for anything over 100mbit internet. I spend $250 a month because Comcast forces me to bundle my internet with TV and Phone (and they call often to have me add cell and security). Then a local company came into the neighborhood this year offering Gigabit fiber for 1/4 the cost I'm spending now.

All of a sudden, Comcast, Centurylink and even the local utility company are out spending money I guess they didn't have to upgrade their networks to support fiber. 7 months of my yard (easement and telco junction) has been home to a variety of heavy machinery, as they run new upgraded infrastructure using directional drilling.

Somewhere in June I get an email from comcast that my internet was upgraded "for free" and now I have 1.2gb/40mbit, doubling my paid speed and if I sign a 2-year term today (with 6mo payment penalty for canceling), I'll pay 50% less and receive unlimited internet if I put in their modem. Let's just say I signed up with the local company and that activates this next month for synchronous 1gb fiber for $59 a month.

> It’s not just the traditional telcos or cable companies. There is a reason Google Fiber has this concept of “fiberhoods” where you need a certain level of demonstrated interest in subscription before they’ll build in those areas.

You know why google fiber wasn't successful? It's because people are lazy. If I wasn't motivated to kill off TV and Phone services that I NEVER use, I'd just stay with Comcast. Comcast will match the Internet only service price of $59 for 1gb internet the day I call to cancel. I have zero reason to change, but amazingly I can and NOW Comcast is flexible with pricing and options.
Strange because around there SF fire trucks are super cautious: many human drivers ignore them and keep driving. And there are often random humans in dark clothing shuffling around in the middle of the streets. This is not an area where fire truck charge through. It would take some effort for a human driver to get hit by a fire truck.
I know this is purely anecdotal but Cruise cars have begun testing in my neighborhood in Austin (they've been in the city for months already) and in two separate incidents on two nights this week I've seen one completely roll through a stop sign. In the first it seemed to know there was a stop sign because it was going along at the speed limit, slowed down like it was going to stop, and then just didn't stop. I was driving through the intersection and I had to move into the opposite lane to avoid the Cruise car. The next night I was just out for a walk and observed the same behavior at a different intersection. I've had several unpleasant run-ins with these cars over the last few months. Not sure how to feel about it all.
Designing cities for walking? Sounds like COMMUNISM!
The biggest question is what is the point? A gram-scale probe is nice, but how is it going to return ANY useful data at all from even the nearest star system 4ly distant? Skimming the paper seems to make no mention of it

Also, they're saying that it is 100GW of total power and the "ground-based laser array will be need to be kilometers in scale". Say we're talking 10 square kilometers, that's 10GW/Sqkm.

With 1,000,000 m^2 per km^2, that's pumping 10 kilowatts per square meter up through the atmosphere.

That means a crow-sized bird, with a wingspan of ~18"/50cm x 7"/20cm is 0.1 m^2 and will absorb a kilowatt of radiant energy. Like spreading it out on top of ten 100-watt incandescent bulbs, or directing a 1000-watt hairdryer at it. It won't fry instantly, but will rapidly overheat in the few minutes they claim it will take to accelerate the craft to 0.2c.

Since they're detecting atmospheric disturbances, perhaps they could route around birds by momentarily turning off beams that would be wasted anyway?

Even assuming this is a cover for an array to fry satellites or incoming ICBMs, it seems kind of frivolous... I'd love to be wrong because it'd be cool to generate those kinds of speeds, but...?
As a Firefox partisan since back when it was still Phoenix, of course I'd argue it was IE 5's box model that sucked. But the real problem is that there wasn't one box model that behaved identically across all the popular implementations.

> Current security advice is to use quite short session timeouts, such as after 15 minutes of inactivity.

I do not remember a web application with 15 min timeout.

Some banking apps have short timeout, even shorter than 15 mins. But normal apps usualy had 30 mins, I think. Many simply relied on the browser session cookie - on desktop that meant until you close the browser.

15 mins would be inconvenient.

Aslo, most web apps with limited session duration had the Remember Me checkbox, that extended the session cookie duration to about two weeks.

So, the user experience costs are not so big, as the article presents.

> However, most mobile apps and big web applications such as Gmail or GitHub don’t adhere to this. You can be logged in seemingly forever without authenticating again. Are these insecure? Do Google and Microsoft know better than NIST and OWASP?

I can not compare to NIST and OWASP, but I do not see Google and Microsoft as ideals everyone should blindly follow.

I suspect, these companies started to use endless sessions - a security degradation imho - after they adopted two factor authentication. Authentication process had become too annoying for users, and corpanies introduced endless sessions - zero factor auth.

Similar as an often password rotation was recommended as a best practioe for years, and then it was realized as making more harm than good, because users are annoyed and take shortcots. The two factor auth lead (I suspect) to zero factor auth.

A similar claim in the article, about short sessions, is not supported by evidence:

> However, short sessions have disadvantages, both in user experience and in security. If someone needs to log in again every 15 minutes, they are going to make authenticating as easy as possible. That means keeping the password vault open, choosing an easier password, or putting the password on the clipboard every time. Reauthentication comes with its own risks. A shorter expiration time does not automatically reduce the overall risk.

Thats not how it worked for me. Sometimes I maybe used the Remember Me checkox, but often I prefer to type password manually - I like to be prompted for password from time to time, to refresh it in the memory. Some people use passwrod managers

As a user, I am OK with Hacker News having endless session. But not email.

Ideally, I would like each authentication factor to have a separate cookie / token, with its own user-controllable expiration time. So instead of an old Remember Me checkbox to have two Epire In duration inputs. And instead of the Sign Out button, to have the two tokens represented separately, with the expiration interval and remaining time, which I can change / termintate.

My understanding is that the climate will be overall warmer and wetter but that this will not be uniform and, in fact, the variance will be much higher (on both geospatial and temporal axes).

So we can expect some areas to be much wetter and some areas to be much drier and that areas will have a higher temperature variance (colder in winter as winds from Arctic north are stronger to blow colder air deeper south etc.)
I see that makes sense. I feel it's also a little misleading from the original post. An exceptionally specific binary from 1993 works but the implication here is that the compatibility is more than this.

I understand you would like it to not be a thing.

The town doesn't want to connect few streets to the internet.

The town wants internet available everywhere because even if boomer parent might not care, their kids when grow up might want to have stable internet for work, same with any new developments, good internet becomes number one priority for many people buying homes.

It might be difference between small town slowly dying and prospering (because people moving in to work remotely will spend in local economy).

Yeah there will always be cases of cities not being reasonable and wanting telco to fork in on putting 10km of fiber per farmer living in vast area (which would be better served by radio), but overall giving for-profit big corporations so much power for city development is insane.

The commonly used phrase for such a scenario is "head-on collision", while "collision" just means objects coming together with a solid impact - could be one object moving, could be both.

>You wouldn't say anything object at rest collided with something else.

No, but you'd say that the car collided with the tree rather than the tree and the car collided. In this specific instance, both cars were moving, and they collided with each other.
