If it is ubiquitous anyway then why isn't it blocking malaria in the wild?

That's not insecure-by-default, that's just you having a (legitimate) issue with the distribution chain. Insecure-by-default is installing software that has known weaknesses. That the process doesn't work for you doesn't

Why? Companies need to control what goes in and what goes out.

It's basically the TSA of corporate networks. They need to inspect traffic because they can't control what devices show up in their environments and what malware might ride along side legitimate traffic.

Thanks to 9/11 it's already been studied, and surely this pandemic will add to that body: https://news.psu.edu/story/361041/2015/06/18/research/jet-co...

My personal experience has been that the weather forecasts have been consistently colder/wetter than the actual weather over the last 6 weeks, which has been surprisingly sunny almost every day. (Oregon, USA)

To wit; if my wife gets sick and I care for her, does that mean I am experiencing "prolonged exposure"?

EV airplanes are simpler to fly than a gas powered one, so it could be great for a new student who mostly wants to focus on the actual flying and not so much on how to manage the engine. The current market leader, Pipistrel, is selling an E

But not economic on any known horizon. For some reason fuel cells have repelled good economy (in dollars) for 15 years now.

U2F/Fido refers mainly to doing through the browser, but as you probably know, the browser is only the end of the line of a long chain of usability oriented changes. It's been a decade in the making. Now SSH is using that mechanis

That is very cool. What cells are you using?

Using a hardware token as the authenticator for SSH sessions. Taken to the fullest, this allows you to completely avoid password authentication for SSH, except for the initial upload of your public key.

This is a form of critical thinking error. "They" wanted to build a safe destination in case of a multitude of possible conditions come to occur. You are looking with a historical lens on what has happened and then labeling them &

Some of the specific performance enhancements are quite remarkable. Almost double the performance with PHP? Wow, that's quite the optimization for a long-lived (legacy?) technology. And the improvements in ML number crunching are in so

YEAH!! Finally. Trying to assemble my own rube goldberg machine for key access is exhausting.

Personal fans that run all day. Tiles that keep working for decades. Traffic lights that can be deployed by police wherever they're needed. E-Bicycles that can outrun and out-range most bus routes. Electric airplanes make air travel si

I wish I could slap anyone who gives a hoot about tabs vs spaces. Fortunately modern languages like go are removing the version control problem that not caring about style and using auto-formatting IDEs produces.

It's common in federal departments. Each department has an "Administrator" who then represents the entire department to those closer to the President, and represents the President to those farther away.

End-to-end encryption is still a very challenging problem almost everywhere except for direct connection server-side TLS. Yet, everyone has a problem that encryption solves, which is that you actually cannot if some entity has been interfer

It is unclear if anyone has broken through the crypto on the battery pack firmware (at least for newer cars, Model 3 and Model Y). Similar for the motor controller firmware.

And Tesla does it today, many examples of this in the Model 3. Most directly, the Model 3 Long Range and the Model 3 Long Range Performance are almost entirely exactly the same car, with some firmware differences. The thing is, though, Tesl

Moving people left and right has absolutely zero effect on the controlability of the plane, because the ailerons can compensate for much larger movements than that. What it might have an effect on, though, is the overall efficiency with whi

I think this is actually not the case. A Boeing 737 totally empty and in the smallest possible configuration is 61,864lbs. If 20 people move up to 1st class that is less than 7% of the overall weight. With the engines and fuel in the center

Exactly. When I was a junior I had plenty of side projects that I rotated through. Then that got old, I developed deep passions for other non-computer things, have a family, enjoy knowing people, and what do you know? Not many side projects

Yeah, it's a mystery to me why this is so hard. Put a barcode on all receipts "order this again". Go online, scan in your barcode to place the order, bam problem solved. For 90% of people this would satisfy all the normal gro

Sure. They might pull it off though. It does seem consistent with their ethos to at least try.

Well, except there's a big issue here, which is that Tesla can really only manufacture from parts that Tesla has, unless there are clear parts availability that can be quickly ramped up and delivered to the specific factories and in th

That's not an excuse. Sooner or later it'll become a faux pas to mis-use basic security terminology. Obviously most of the public doesn't care about most of the terminology. But "end to end" has been trending for a
