Cached local credentials and saved rdp credentials have existed for a long time and both have gpo settings to modify/disable - you just don't do it because no caching requires some kind of sase/ always on vpn, etc. I think most systems have disallowed rdp credential saving for years.
Furthermore, how does one connect to the domain with an invalid password? I'm inclined to think this was tested on a workgroup and not a domain. If you go long enough your trust tombstones and you lose all access anyway, cached and saved or not.
I'll speak as someone who is part of the problem. As groucho Marx says, I wouldn't want to be a part of any club that will have me as a member!
HN is a victim of its own popularity. Things just get diluted and more mainstreamy by people like me, who are perhaps hackers in spirit but don't have much to show for it.
I work in IT at an international company everyone knows the name of. I've got a garden and there are meals in my fridge made of meat from pigs I raised. I've got furniture in my house my wife and I made years ago in a different state.
I'll submit random articles, but never a show HN. How could I? Woodgearsca built a woodworking shop out of his woodworking shop. No one cares about the tables I built. I try to speak only when I know I can contribute, but im very unsure i raise the quality here.
Similarly, the US Navy maintains banks of pressurized air flasks to air-start emergency diesels. Total Capacity being some multiple of the required single-start capacity
GCCH is typically 6-12 months behind in feature set.
It's like a tragedy of the commons, except there's only one party destroying all resources for themself
What words would you write that would as uniquely identify this tree from any other tree in the world, like a picture would?
Now repeat for everything in the picture, like the time of day, weather, dirt on the ground, etc.
Im just a layman here, but i don't think this is true. Language is an abstraction, an interpreative mechanism of reality. A reproduction of reality, like a picture, by definition holds more information than it's abstraction does.
Aside from the point you made, it actually IS a contradiction. Paraphrased:
>> Athena knew where it was relative to the surface of the Moon, but Athena did not know how far it was above the surface of the moon.
Relative position includes height/altitude? One understands from context, but this sentence does not carry meaning itself.
Well that depends on what your intuition about randomness is, doesn't it?
Flipping a coin is not random, but you can't tell me the answer before it happens.
Similarly, galaxy orientation is not random, but predicting the world we perceive is perhaps not so easy.
Hm, this is the same way to treat stingray wounds. Something something bloodflow vasodialator?
I love the dialectical equivalency here, Feels exactly accurate. At least 4chan plays you laugh you lose, federal politics seems to omit the first half.
> dominance, including groups of chimps
Indeed one of the most fascinating lessons. "Alpha" by force is almost tautologically impossible; leadership is built on inspiration and willfullness.
I suppose flat earthers make heliocentrism and the laws of physics politicized theories too, then.
Why do you assume conspiracy instead of unilateral political maneuvering?
You say that, but...
> There was one day we knocked out windows and purchased box fans because servers were literally catching on fire
This happened to Equinix's CH1 datacenter in Chicago Jan24 (not the literal fire part). Took down Azure ExpressRoute.
Apparently it got too cold and the CRACs couldn't take it? I'm told they had all the doors and windows open trying to keep things cold enough, but alas. As the CRAC goes, so goes the servers
Members of congress were texting and emailing with execs from Twitter and Facebook to request post suppression. During an election.
"Useless" is grossly incorrect. Bitlocker is not invincible, but it lowers your threat surface by a huge %.
In real terms: if i get your unbitlockered hard drive, i own your shit. It's not a hack you pay crypto for on the dark web, it's a trivial compromise that every person in IT has known for at least a decade. If you google it, you'll find it. Ring 0 access to all nonbitlockered windows installs. Takes like 2 minutes and a usb or cd.
With bitlocker, at least every idiot on the planet can't login to your profile; that's not nothing
It's been confusing since the first trump term how many dems held this position. How can you call trump obviously reprehensible and irredemable... and then lose?
I made the mistake of debating politics with a then-friend who called all 75 million trump voters "drooling fucktards". Word?
We don't talk anymore
>There are more computers running Linux
You did not address the claim you replied to. Users get compromised, and users use windows desktop.
The number of DB clusters or whatever running *nix isn't relevant.
> This isn't some "freedom" issue, it's an incredibly huge power asymmetry
ive been fiercely libertarian most of my life but, like you, im starting to realize its just not practical.
libertarianism made sense 100 years ago; you still needed a limited but powerful government to monopoly bust, but the consumer was close enough to the source of all information. smart people could invent products and whole industries from the ground up. you could know whats going on.
this is no longer the case. god help me for the pseudomarxist thing im about to say (and believe), but individual people are helplessly separated from the source; everything is insulated by layers of abstraction. the gift of reduced margin via capitalism and globalisation has cursed us with powerlessness.
how many information wars are you prepared to fight? teflon, ddt, pfoas, bpa, bpb, bps, bpf, bpaf, lead, asbestos, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, psychedelics, birth control, opioids, hormones, climate change, plastic waste, electronic waste, landfilling, recycling, antibiotics, urban planning, housing development, GMO food, monocropping, wastewater, topsoil, algae blooms, overfishing, deforestation, AGI, LLM, ad tech, social media, diet (sugar, cholesterol, fat), msg, processed foods, radiation (cellular, microwave, electromagnetic power lines), conflict minerals, 3rd world labor and global supply chains, slavery (theres 10s of millions of literal slaves in the world, remember?), human trafficking, israel and palestine, north korea, china, Uyghurs, russia and ukraine, ongoing gender apartheid in parts of the middle east, war torn africa, local state and federal politics.
plus the hundreds i didnt think of and the thousands i dont know i need to care about.
I don't think the missing mechanism is unions, I think it's an aggressive monopoly-busting government. What we're talking about is an industry outstrippinng it's competition and harming people - basically the definition of a monopoly.
Totally free markets are self destructive. Well regulated free markets are the greatest driving force for human quality of life we've found.
I believe the general concept is called hysteresis(1). Many systems require some prior state knowledge before acting to avoid cycling near the setpoint. As you said, the simplest solution is often a deadband around the setpoint so that action can never result in a state requiring action.
You're saying people evaluate and react to checkbox feedback faster than 4 times/sec? I'm not a UX person so this claim seems laughable. I might believe twice that as beyond reasonable, but there is no way the average person waits less than a quarter of a second before assuming their input failed and duplicate the effort. One can hardly even observe and process that quickly - even when paying attention.
Doing a thing is a different skillset than teaching how to do that thing. Nothing more to it.
If there was a self reinforcing loop where greatness begat greatness, it would be everywhere: every sport, every politician, every martial art, every resource, every industry - for centuries, millenia.
Greatness and teaching greatsness are merely correlated in the best case, and are just as often counterfactual.
Thats because Trump agreed to get us out of afghaniston. Biden oversaw the absolutely disastrous execution, abandoning untold millions of military equipment in the hands of the taliban.
I mean I just can't read this. I'm far from a literary person, but this is awful.
