 The answer is tautology. Thanks for playing.

This argument is stupid. You want to talk about yak shaving, theoretical
nonsense. FWIW I agree with you and think that password requirements are dumb,
but you live in the real world. These are the legal realities of IT policy.

What I hate is the impression. You can have mitigation controls galore. I
trust that they all do. However, it's difficult for average customers to
understand that. When even NIST has longer password recommendations, people
who hear that "long passwords are safer" should have that option. Banks are
relatively arbitrarily depriving security conscious people of that nominal
opportunity to try to practice good password hygiene. The line is that
password resets increase with password length. I'd be fine with that.

Show HN: How to stop iOS9 daily prompts for iOS10 upgrade - walterbell
iOS9 automatically downloads iOS10 and then prompts daily for permission to upgrade.  The dialog only allows deferral of upgrade, no option to decline.  Since it usually takes a few point releases for Apple to stabilize a new major version, you may not want to spend the next few months postponing this dialog box every day.<p>To stop the iOS10 upgrade prompts:<p><pre><code>  Settings
  General
  Storage &amp; iCloud  
  Manage Storage, scroll down through the list 
  iOS10 Update -&gt; Delete
</code></pre>
Go back to enjoying stable iOS9 workflow and battery life.  Avoid security threats for which fixes were disclosed in iOS10.
