From the employer POV, employees cannot be trusted to discover their passwords are compromised, so updating them limits the duration the leaked password works.
That sounds like a somewhat pragmatic approach. Curious to see how that plays out in practice. I presume the total number of consumers that are interested in running their own ONT is limited. In Germany the situation seems a bit different. There customer owned Fritzbox devices with integrated ONTs are very widespread making the situation for an ISP quite different when it comes to upgrades.
This is mostly due to historical reasons and the way Western music has been written.

The hierarchy in a symphonic orchestra is highly structured. Each section (a group of musicians playing the same instrument and part) has a leader, who usually plays the solo part (hence the title "solo violin" or "first chair"). The leader of the first violin section is the "concertmaster," typically seated next to the conductor and responsible for leading the entire string section. In orchestras without a conductor, the concertmaster often assumes that role.

Each string player follows their section leader, who, in turn, follows the concertmaster, who follows the conductor. This is why they are seated at the front.
I don't understand you, the term "Consumer Reports Best Buy" has been in use since at least 2004, which implies CR permitted the term to be used.

Do they actually bury PON components? Because around here they don’t. Fiber runs from homes to their concentrators and those house both the PON splitters and the OLTs. There’s some roadside boxes as well but afaik they’re only for splices, because those aren’t buried, either.
I’m not sure that data point constitutes evidence that anyone was opposed to commercial uses of the mark that avoided creating confusion around the mark and the project.
Math isn't a science, it is a tool we can use to construct coherent arguments. We can do this about our world, which science aims to do, but we can do this about many worlds. We can consider correct deductions within a mathematical system as fact, but they do not represent facts in the "real" world.

Your costs and deployment pattern are your problem, customers don’t care about them.

Saying it is serverless means nothing to customers unless the serverless aspect applies to them, which in this case it doesn’t. If you’re only selling access to your product for a fee, then whether it’s serverless or not, customers couldn’t care less.
Lets say its 2001 and you are writing some hot e-commerce stuff in plain php. You want to filter data depending on multiple fields in the submitted form. If some field is there, you add one more "AND" clause to the "WHERE", like this: if (isset($_POST['product'])) { $query .= "AND product = " . $_POST['product']; }. So in order not to check every time if the added clause is the first one you start with "WHERE 1=1 ", as "WHERE AND ..." would not work.

I'm still waiting for NIST to deprecate plain-text* passwords in favor of PAKE, and W3C to come up with a mechanism for that.

*) plain-text here means any and all methods that give the attacker access to the original password, including modifying client-side JS.
In this very orange website. Any EU regulation seems to be anathema and a barrier to innovation, and that extends to things that improve user privacy and such.
It is true that for many (especially concurrency/distributed-systems-related) bugs, reproducing the issue might be the hardest part... but that's not always true.

Long time ago, I was working on a C++ compiler for an embedded processor. Customer complains that when they turn on optimization, code fails. 100% reproducible, just put "-O3" and it fails, with "-O0" it works. Now, we're used to these bug reports, it's often a bug in the original software (like relying on undefined behaviour), but we manage to get the code, it looks good / we don't find anything strange. Can't run it, it only works on the customer board (which is their custom proprietary hardware, using our microprocessor). We look through the assembly, can't find any obvious optimization error that the compiler made. After much (remote) debugging, it turns out that it was a fault in their memory system.
Roger. Definitely some Poe's law here mocking regulation in earnest, so it's hard to tell.

I’m on your boat, but I don’t think there is any reason to oversell yourself as the pioneer of the social web with statements which are blatantly false. If anything that will only hinder the mission of what you’re trying to achieve.

To me it’s so unnecessary to sell the project as being run by the inventors of the social web, when the mission to decentralise control over social networks is brilliant on its own. I still don’t think any elected officials in Denmark should be on social networks where they don’t control the policies. I don’t agree with some of the outrageous stuff some of our less professional right wing politicians post on social media which gets them banned, but the very fact that a foreign tech company can chose to ban elected officials is just wrong. It would be much better if our Government ran something like a fediverse instance where they would control it and still reach the wider social network. I frankly think any news organisation should run their own server instances as well.

That is a good mission. I’ll support anyone who works for it, but I also think it’s stupid to over present yourself with false claims.

On the flip side of this, they turned on the (at least at first, fictitious) view counts for the opposite reason - despite being costly to calculate accurately, they provide an ego boost.
I ran into that with Paypal. Login limited my password length to something small (I think 20 characters?) but the signup page accepted my random 32 characters just fine.

I found out I could just enter the first 20 characters and log in. I've had other websites that simply broke. The worst one had a password reset page that also didn't verify their own password length limits, sending me in a frustrating password change loop.
That leads to a philosophical question: How widespread does dangerous misuse of a tool have to be before we can attribute the "fault" to the behavior/presentation of the tool itself, rather than to the user?

Casting around for a simple example... Perhaps any program with a "delete everything permanently" workflow. I think most of us would agree that a lack of confirmation steps would be a flaw in the tool itself, rather than in how it's being used, even though, yes, ideally the user would have been more careful.

Or perhaps the "tool" of US Social Security numbers, which as integers have a truly small surface-area for interaction. People were told not to piggyback on them for identifying customers--let alone authenticating them--but the resulting mess suggests that maybe "just educate people better" isn't enough to overcome the appeal of misuse.
It seems blogs weren't social networks in the way Friendster was. Average people didn't have a blog. Creating a Friendster account was much easier.

This could be a great comment if the tone was different. I'll try to give my perspective.

SQL, unfortunately, is very verbose and has a strange mix of super-high and very low abstraction. There is also no SQL formatter out there that does a decent job, and no real consensus about how good SQL is supposed to look.

If I look at the 'indent' guideline, it contains e.g.:

, IFF(DATEDIFF(DAY, timeslot_date, CURRENT_DATE()) >= 29,
LAG(overnight_fta_share, 2) OVER (PARTITION BY timeslot_date, timeslot_channel ORDER BY timeslot_activity),
NULL) AS C28_fta_share

Immediate SQL failures: 1) it has no easy facility to pull that DATEDIFF clause in a different variable/field. 2) The LAG line is verbose, especially if your DB doesn't allow to pull out the WINDOW clause.
It is a bit silly but I think it just helps with code readability some people.
I think https://github.com/uwdata/mosaic is really promising here. See the example https://idl.uw.edu/mosaic/examples/linear-regression.html where the user can recalculate a linear regression based on their selection.

You'd still need to implement any custom selection widgets, data transformations (like other statistical tests) etc. still missing, but i like the technical design to build on top off. It uses https://github.com/observablehq/plot under the hood, which aims to have just as flexible a grammar as ggplot (already quite capable) but with interactive features (built by the creator of d3 and uses it under its hood).

Yeah but the point of the deepmind video is there is an advance. The robots in your video are kind of pathetic at it with humans needed to stop them falling over. The deepmind ones here (https://youtu.be/ET-MmoeSvXk?t=219 same vid different part) can keep playing even with someone pushing them over. It's kind of gone from geriatrics with carer level to small children playing level.

My solution to this attack is to generate random words (what 1Password calls a "memorable password") instead of something totally inscrutable. Most security question fields are long enough to accept 4 words (occasionally 5). I think it should be much harder to convince a customer support agent with "it's just 4 random words from the dictionary" vs "it's 32 random characters, do you really want me to go through it all?".

(I'm sure a determined enough attacker will eventually find an agent willing to accept the former excuse, but if it reaches that point, I think I've already lost this battle.)
Agree with many comments here that we have been programming this way all along and called that microprogram functions. Tangentially, I like the design of the blog https://breckyunits.com/ quite a lot. No wasted white spaces.
The only employer I've had which had a dumb rotation rule was of course a huge American Credit Reference Agency which due to ordinary incompetence lost a lot of people's personal information.

These days I work in tertiary education, so there's a complete spectrum from people who probably have memorised a unique sixteen alphanumerics password twenty years ago to folks who needed a service desk worker to help them walk through resetting after having forgotten their password was the name of one of Henry VIII's wives. And there's likewise a spectrum between "I hand-built this optical splitter and splice so that I could steal the exam answers without any trace on the network" and "I wrote the formulae on my thigh in permanent marker and then wore a skirt with a big slit down one side" in terms of the technical sophistication of attacks.

Edited to add: When I did work for the CRA with the rotation rule I would write down each of the passwords in columns in the back of my log book since otherwise I might forget one and that was a huge pain to get reset, it's just not realistic to memorize "random" values you'll have to replace frequently. And of course they had two "Single" Sign On systems because of warring management, so that's two passwords to rotate.
You can get a SIM without an Aadhaar in India. I have one, and the author does have one as well.

It’s just that while it is legal to get one, each telco will make it extremely hard to do so.

No need to write any of them down! Work smarter, not harder: WelcomeDecember2023! -> WelcomeJanuary2024! -> WelcomeFebruary2024! -> WelcomeMay2024! -> ...

(don't do this, obviously)

The funniest password sticky note I've seen was someone whose password was the name of their child and their birth year. Not a great password in general, but apparently they didn't know their kid very well because they had to write it down and stick it onto their monitor.
Argh... Firefox and gitlab (I hate web-"apps") is dumb. When you click on the file it shows "download" (because gitlab can't be bothered with preview) and when clicking on it firefox open new page as "preview" without anything on there and while trying to save it saves as "html" file and not the actual jxl file... obviously, because gitlab is shaite "app" it's not possible to click on any download button and select "save target as"

EDIT: Managed to save it and Finder preview (space) worked just fine :)
I dunno, some people¹ clearly care about the meaning of words, and are pained when the meaning doesn't align with the idea the words are picked to communicate.

Perhaps we could allow ourselves to be unhappy when spotting such abuse in the wild (ranging from "OpenAI" which isn't open to "genocide" resulting explosive population growth), and all of us will be better off from it.

Mark has been really successful in reframing his public image, but the reality? In 2023 Meta was the 9th largest spender on Washington lobbying, and the 2nd largest public company behind Amazon. It far outstrips Lockheed (14 million), Boeing (14.5 million) and General Motors (14.4 million). It spend 19 million in 2023 on lobbying, reflecting the sustained YoY increase since it spent 10 million in 2014. An undisclosed amount of that went to a firm that lobbied to ban TikTok, after it was leaked that among teens Facebook was being killed by TikTok. But testament to how effective his PR team has been is that far more people probably know about his haircut than his lobbying.

Austria requires consumer subscriptions to allow to be cancelled by email and the result has been a free website[1] that maintains a list of all the places you got to email to, lets you sign a cancellation letter with your government electronic id. I cancelled probably pretty much everything this way over the last 10 years and it has been great.

Is this a process whereby the researcher is forced to submit the thesis (null, etc) of the research, ahead of the study and its findings?
LOTR was a work of passion , The Hobbit was a mess.

With The Hobit , there was a change in directors (originally Guillermo del Toro) and lots of studio meddling (eg pushing for 3 movies when the original is a 200 pages book, inclusion of LOTR actors for wider appeal).

I think Peter Jackson was brought in to try to salvage what he could.

On small sub-reddits even something like -5 votes will have a huge impact.

If you are on a bigger forum, block a few because you just don't want to see their posts. Or they are bots. Suddenly you have huge problems on small subreddits.

And I don't see a huge benefit to it. People clean up their block list maybe? But for what.

Congrats on building the CDN. Not sure if I personally have an use for it, but I definitely appreciate the simplicity of it which is often missing from many existing CDN/cloud related services.
That would either mean that Apple needs to maintain two separate types of display drivers or create a new abstract driver interface which sits between Metal+Vulkan and the underlying hardware. That's just adding busywork with only downsides, both technical and organisational. Vulkan just isn't that important outside of Linux and Android, especially when most games are built on top of a crossplatform engine anyway.
Detoxifying social media is like detoxifying cyanide IMHO. You end up with nothing of real use.
I would want to consider what kind of laptop it is.

For instance a number of years ago Thinkpads added a UEFI setting which can be set to disable the ability of Windows to update firmware.

Then I would want to consider what kind of gf she is.

These have been around a lot longer than laptops but the tendency of some to function primarily as an "evil maid" is still as prevalent as ever.

In that case the laptop is the least of your worries.
> the biggest lie of capitalism

This is a totem. Nobody who believes in capitalism thinks anarchy yields efficiency. (Just like nobody advocating against it does so in favour of totalitarianism.) Instead, you've got two groups of people not shouting at each other, but shouting among each other about how stupid a stylised representation of the other tribe's beliefs are. To the degree the groups communicate, it's in embracing the other's exxagerated representations as shows of conformity to their own groups.
Java is superior to Kotlin from Java 21 onwards, esp with virtual threads and no function coloring and far shorter compile times. Kotlin has the advantage of lower verbosity of-course, but that is not an advantage when code browsing at 3am.

Kotlin styles also differ considerably unlike Java which is far more uniform in comparison.

Tuning typically follows a little ritual, where (1) the concertmaster stands to indicate that tuning should begin, (2) the oboe gives the 440 Hz A tone, which by the way, they normally have an electronic tuner these days to help them nail that pitch, (3) the brass and winds tune off the oboe, (4) the concertmaster tunes her violin off the oboe, (5) the concertmaster plays the A for the strings, who tune their open A string off that note, (6) the strings tune their other three strings to their A, usually by ear.

Source: Me, playing in amateur orchestras for twenty-plus years.

Sidenote: I find the sound of an orchestra tuning to be a deep joy! All those instruments sliding into place is just delightful

I wouldn't exactly buy into the article. Its brilliant in that it puts a lot of things in your heads about Mark stepping back, but Meta's lobbying in dollars hasn't ceased one bit (its the 2nd largest lobbying spender after Amazon). Reading between the lines, Mark is preferring to use more traditional methods of influencing politics. Not that he is becoming neutral.
Wind also peaks in peaks, leading to gluts. Summarising something so irregular in a single number misses out essential properties. The peak/trough pattern is so good for heating without plenty of thermal storage (not something the UK’s buildings are renowned for).

> maybe we should force nuclear to invest in seasonal storage

Probably simpler to build a bit more nuclear, then use it in summer to drive DACCS (heat and electricity) or processes like raw material smelting. Better to have industry operating on fairly predictable schedules (summer on, winter off) than pre-empting them on a regular basis (as startup/shutdown could reduce useful work done/harm equipment).
There are lot of other steps as well. Like counting the till, depositing the big bills and possibly getting more change. As in general lot of cash users use larger bills compared to the change. Moving this cash around, guarding it. Recounting it at times. Work spend outside the transaction with the customer. And it is not like bank will always offer free deposits or give out the right amount of coins for no fee.

The social angle of sharing ones games with friends and getting likes etc. and the ability to quickly play it off a link are huge factors that keep motivation high for kids.

This is underappreciated. I've been teaching my son JS but his main gripe is that he doesn't have an easy way to share his stuff in a quickly playable format.
There's nothing in the law that says one-click.

It says, "A prominently located direct link or button which may be located within either a customer account or profile, or within either device or user settings."

I think where the interpretation that one-click sub == one-click unsub is from this passage:

"The ability to cancel or terminate an automatic renewal or continuous service pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d) shall be available to the consumer in the same medium that the consumer used in the transaction that resulted in the activation of the automatic renewal or continuous service, or the same medium in which the consumer is accustomed to interacting with the business, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, by mail, or by email."

The idea being that one-click is a medium, which doesn't seem to be the intent here.
