What does Linux have to do with this?
Even so, I wonder if they might do better not to draw attention to the disaster that "easy car sharing (or similar concepts)" + "self-driving car" could be for car sales. Maybe I'm underestimating car companies in assuming that the haven't already anticipated this (although in that case, why aren't we seeing resistance), or maybe Google holds them in even lower esteem.
The c64 did, but could you download a basic program from the bbs and run it in place without stopping the modem software? Could that BASIC program then proceed to, in place download more content to view, from same, or any other BBS? We're talking about BASIC here :)

Now, if you wanted to move forward a few years then the Amiga could do those things using some proprietary graphical modem software and a bespoke graphics/interaction language whose name totally escapes me at the moment. It wasn't BASIC.

But, you know, you needed an Amiga to use it, and almost nobody had one.

One reason is overhead. Being a publicly traded company involves lots of legal filings and paperwork ($$$). Typically, you want to stay private for as long as you can. For example, Facebook only went public when they were legally obligated to because they had reached the limit on private shareholders. (I'm not saying that was the only reason, but it was a factor in the timing)
Going public requires a vast investment in accounting and lawyering, before you can think of how to make your shares seem like a deal. There's a whole new set of laws that suddenly apply when a company is about to go public.
It's really hard to get a cab in San Francisco and not it's not easy in New York either.

Contrast with Toronto, where it's a no brainer on major streets (and we have Hailo here, which works pretty darn well but uses regular cabs), or in Montreal where I've had cab drivers almost get into accidents fighting over who saw me first.
Sarbanes-Oxley made it much more complicated to sell to public investors than to private ones. You pretty much have to hire staff whose only job is to ensure being compliant.

Maybe. I feel like you’re completely missing the point of my post too.
> On top of that, several vendors were exploited VMware and Microsoft.

I haven't really kept up on the latest news about this hack so perhaps I missed an "official announcement" but I had assumed that both Microsoft and VMware were likely additional "attack vectors" as well (after initially "getting in" via Orion).

Microsoft had that NETLOGON issue (CVSS 10.0) a while back and VMware has had at least two (CVSS ~9.8+) "critical" (a.k.a. "drop everything and patch now") issues that I know of in the last several months as well.

Any one of those issues would almost certainly have given an attacker "the keys to the kingdom" (and, from my own experience at least, domain controllers, ESXi hypervisors, and vCenter servers don't typically get updated immediately!).

> I’ve fought for the federal government to create instead of buy.

Unfortunately, that just leads to the Government paying way too much for designed by committee software that isn't compatible with anything that anyone else uses. We've been there before and, IMO, the shift to COTS software was one of the best things to ever happen to U.S. Government agencies.

(On a side note, I've lost a lot of faith in VMware. For something they claim to be "secure by default", there sure have been a shitload of CVEs in the last year or two! Also, just a few months ago, they had to "re-release" patches for a 9.8 because the original patches didn't completely fix the issue!)

Sure if you try to go up in quality you hit diminishing returns. Not quantity though. $80k and you're working for the rest of your life. $8m and you retire at the end of the year.
Not an expert, but as far as I understand with COVID people were not in major distress breathing even with very poor O sats, which is confusing.

The standard was to move people with terrible O2 sats at the start of the outbreak to ventilation immedatley, even if they did not seem to bad.

That seems to be replaced with providing high levels of O2/CPAP and only moving people to ventilation when that is not sufficient, even if O2 sats would normally indicate ventilation. This is why vent usage is a lot lower this second time round, even with more patients in hopsital.
Yes but it does have e2e if you “want” it and for 99.9% of people that’s enough. The other 0.1% who “need” it are more willing to learn/adapt to Signal/Wire/etc.

I use Signal with tech friends, and Telegram with family/non-tech friends. I feel like the latter using Telegram is still better than them using WhatsApp, so I’ll take what I can get.

They have a pretty well set up shop. Big (enough for what they need) lathe, mill, welders a multitude of presses and typical power tools. What they don't have is ubiquitous power tools for each and every job. Those are characteristic of high labor cost environments. All the "crude" stuff is just job specific tooling that you amass over they years.

Someone needs to teach them how to properly install rivets (they would be substantially stronger with no additional work if they heated the whole body) and the one guy who actually welds properly needs to teach the rest of them to do so too.
This is such an uninformed view; I am surprised to see it advanced on this forum.

Any scholar of the NT knows that the apochrypha date very late and the cannon is the legitimately oldest extant texts. There is no evidence that earlier texts were excluded. You do know (you probably don't) that the majority of the Pauline epistles are considered to be authentic, by secular atheist scholars, and date to to the middle of the first century right?

Outside of the pauline works, Hebrews is dated to no later than about 45 AD by secular, non believing scholars.

You're advacing a rather tired late 19th century view that just doesn't wash in the light of modern scholarship but was the darling of many 1800s and early 1900s lutherans.
The investors have plenty of input. They don't have to own any of that stock, and can choose to own stuff where they do have control. Knowing is their responsibility. If they want to shirk it, sure, but that doesn't mean they aren't on the hook for what they should have done, which is to have control over what their money is doing.

Otherwise the argument "companies need free speech and rights because they're just extensions of the owners few speech and rights" makes no sense, because the owners have no actual say in what's going on

Why would investors sue the ceo when nothing bad will happen to them? How do they even have standing when the ceo does wrong if shareholders are indemnified?

In this banking example, it would be my fault for picking a poor quality bank? I'd also expect that the fine isn't going to be that much more than double the profits I made, so maybe $100-$1000? It's not like im making much money on my savings in a bank.
Where is Signal's owner non-profit located? Different countries have different laws regarding the status of a corporations profit or non-profit label.

- Consider doing some freelance work to build up a portfolio of actual field-related work. You could also consider volunteering to help local charities with website stuff, if you're up for it.

- Learn some buzzwords. React is hot these days, for example.

- Find local recruiting agencies, they're more than happy to pitch you to whatever clients have openings for the type of position you're looking for

- Also look for other types of agencies (e.g. marketing) and tech consultancies, as they sometimes have unadvertised openings (e.g. crunching to finish some behind-schedule project).

- Don't mention help desk experience. If you're at entry level for web development, it looks better if your resume only presents relevant experience (better yet, highlight skillset over work history). Displaying irrelevant experience looks like unprofessional filler text.
Another for you!

12 years experience here. I think I could have a geuess at what Lisp code is doing, likewise with OCmal / Haskell. I have never written anything in any of them, but have read a couple for tutorials.

Never seem Erlang, Prolog or Smalltalk code.

I am capable of deciphering Perl code as long as its not too obfuscated.
That's not due to Apple’s business model or their own choice. They were forced to hand over iCloud by Chinese regulators.
It's important to note that the substance of the article here is not about improving tracking of airplanes while they are flying (which actually does very little to keep them from disappearing if a catastrophe stops them from flying) but is actually about tracking weather more accurately by gaining real-time data from other aircraft in the vicinity. This suggestion might indeed have helped prevent the most recent Air Asia crash, and perhaps also the Air France crash from several years ago. It takes good information to respond to rapidly developing storms at high altitude over the ocean, and to advise pilots how to change their courses (along heavily trafficked airline routes) to avoid both dangerous weather and collisions with other planes.
TreodeDB a bit like Spanner, in as much as both offer transactions across datacenters. The implementations are very different. The way Treode uses Lamport clocks lets you use a simple rule to determine if your local cache satisfies application invariants. I'm not sure if Spanner's use of atomic clocks gets you a similar capability.
Coq already could, if they wanted to. Z3 supports the SMT-Lib format, which means that any theorem prover that can both output that and execute a shell command can invoke Z3. This has no bearing on Z3's specific license, unless you want to use that tool for commercial purposes. For an example of this being used in a similar tool to Coq, Isabelle/HOL's 'Sledgehammer' tactic will attempt to use Z3 (and then reconstruct a proof) where its own solvers fail.

It's all pretty nifty!

HOL4 also has Z3 (and Yices) support, but I think the Z3 support is a little out of date (in particular, it errors immediately on start).

It seems odd to that when the scripting language allows such absurd customization to hardcode the sexes of marriage, to be fair.

Apparently one can marry a piece of furniture with the scripting language, so long as the sex be appropriate.
Relax, everybody understands that code written in one hour is going to be shit. We will know you care about fixing things because you point out in what ways the code is shit. If you are uncomfortable talking about shitty code, especially your shitty code, we don't want your commits.

If you happen upon a company where people will judge you for writting shit code in that situation, consider yourself lucky they let you know early. And leave.

Anyone comment on whether this is widely used?
Shop the deal.

If the market value of your company is greater than your current terms, you'll find out.

As a datapoint from Spolsky here he is talking about his decision to shop the deal rather than taking the first offer. And keep in mind that his first offer was so called "smart money".

Malemployment is very subjective. I can't see how you could effectively measure it and it mean that much.

I think a job happiness index would be better. You could just ask, "From 1-10 how happy are you with your current job (1=couldn't be more unhappy, 10=couldn't be happier)," would be enough. If this score dipped, morale is lower overall, and productivity will suffer.

Inflammation in the body has been correlated with a lot of diseases believe it or not. Gluten is one of the big contributors to inflammation in the body. A lot of people laugh at the whole "Gluten Free" thing, but there's a good bit of evidence that significantly reducing or removing it from your diet can make a serious impact.
Wechat has the concept of "public" accounts, with an API for managing conversations and interactions with customers. THAT is the secret sauce. See grata.com for an example of what is possible with a chat API. Facebook will surely add an API to WhatsApp.
I blame the WiFi protocol. Since the routers are already broadcasting their SSID why are devices themselves broadcasting sensitive information back to them before the user has shown any interest in any particular hotspot?

This over sharing should be addressed at protocol level.
From the FAQ: https://github.com/owin/owin/wiki/faq - OWIN is inspired by rack, WSGI and node.js.

I'd say there are plenty of alternatives to OWIN (and the .Net stack) for *nix. That's probably why there's not much interest around Mono, too.
Fantastic! Gotta love the people who salivate at the mouth with talks of litigation. Just tweak the UI and this product is a great alternative. Congratulations on your launch

Compartmentalization addresses scaling. In particular, it addresses scaling group interaction between the members of a group with a common group goal but heterogeneous skills, responsibilities, and individual goals. It can address this problem well or poorly, but all the good solutions (and probably all the solutions) involve some amount of compartmentalization, and allowances for cross-compartment interactions. The really good solutions don't have huge downsides, but they all have costs. And there are tons of ways to do it wrong.

If you are a small start-up, you do not have this scaling issue yet. You shouldn't bring in the solution if you don't yet have the problem, especially because the solution is costly, treacherous, and difficult to do well.

The rules were probably the same or worse when you were younger.

Not quite true, according to what I've read. The BSA had no official policy on homosexuals or atheists until a few years ago. No position is definitely better than a position of blatant intolerance, in this case.

Admittedly, "reverent" has been in the Boy Scouts Law forever, as far as I know. It does not define "God", though, so it's a pretty flexible sort of thing. The Order of the Arrow, and its borrowing of lots of Native American mythology, seems to make it clear that "God" means whatever your conception of God might be, probably including a simple naturalist concept of greatest good, which I'd have no trouble professing reverence for. Jewish and Muslim kids are welcome in the Boy Scouts, so it can't be merely the Christian God.

Consider: refusal to participate and let youth see your good example hurts only the boys. And really helps no one.

Valid argument. But, the fact that the official position of the Boy Scouts is now against gays and atheists, the only example I could set would be one of lying in order to participate. Being an atheist, I am explicitly prohibited from being involved in Boy Scout leadership. I would have to profess beliefs I do not hold, either actively or passively, in order to take part. I'm not willing to do that. I'm not an angry atheist, or anything, and I don't really care to trumpet my beliefs (or lack thereof) from the rooftops, but I also won't pretend to believe in something I actually believe is generally a destructive force.
find some hobbies or things that get you excited on a daily basis in your free time?

honestly, this is so personal and subjective all you can really do is try a lot of different things

maybe you want to be comfortable, "happy", or "make a difference"

as long as you reach the point where you feel truly satisfied and truly happy with what you are doing, it probably doesn't matter what you're doing (unless you hurt others, I suppose, lol)

I don't think that the question should be so much "how to live life" or "take a risk", it should be more about how you can be satisfied about who you are, what you do, on a daily basis because you've found a place/position in this world to call your own

of course most of us will have a hard time figuring this out and actually finding where we can be happy is a constant search
Yes! Cancel the referendum and replace it with one that has this option as well!

I'm working on something related to this. If you like, I would enjoy sharing my project and discussing marketplaces further with you. (My email's in my profile.)
Very informative, thank you!

Something I've been mulling over for awhile now is... what does it mean to represent a color with numbers?

That is, every pixel on our monitor is RGB 0 through 255. But what about in physics? Well, "color" is a photon whose wavelength falls between 400nm (short wavelength; intense energy; "ultra"-violet; and violet = blueish; therefore 400nm = "the blue side" of the EM spectrum; this is how I remember that) and 700nm (red).

So on one hand, we have three numbers, R, G, and B; on the other hand, we have a single number, wavelength.

Obviously, the answer is that R, G, and B have some significance to the human eye. But wait a minute; every human eye is different. Some people are color blind, for example. So these RGB values can't really claim to have a physical basis.

Now, what is the meaning of a combination of colors? Let's say, RGB(50,50,0) + RGB(0,50,50). Is the result RGB(50,100,50), like you'd expect?

I think not.

RGB is not a linear space. In the same way you can't add two points on the Richter scale, you can't add two RGB values and get a meaningful result, I think.

So then we have something called "sRGB", which claims to be a linear space. But really, sRGB is merely RGB space "warped" to conform to the gamma curves of standard monitors. It still has no physical meaning, as far as I can see.

I believe perhaps the correct answer is...

When a light source emits light (for example an incandescent light bulb), it's really emitting many different wavelengths along the EM spectrum. The final color is the result of our eyes combining those wavelengths.

So, to add two colors A and B, we must first convert them both from RGB back into the EM spectrum (think of it like a histogram, where the X axis is wavelength from 400nm to 700nm, and the Y axis is the intensity of each wavelength); then add the two spectrums; then finally convert the resulting spectrum back to RGB.

Will this produce the same results as (A + B)? I don't think so, but I haven't tried it.

Food for thought...

The point is taking advantage of matter phase transitions: a lot of energy goes into converting a solid into a liquid, without changing the temperature. Ergo, you can dump a lot of heat into something without then having to move the something away fast to keep the heat source cool. Only works insofar as it only takes so much energy to melt the solid (wax, ice, whatever), after which you need to either resume a classic moving-coolant process or otherwise stop generating so much heat and let the now-melted substance cool via ambient surroundings and re-solidify.

An interesting variant on this is Coffee Joulies http://www.joulies.com which are metal balls you drop in your too-hot coffee to rapidly cool it to a desirable temperature, then keep it at that temperature much longer than it normally would stay. The initial heat is absorbed to melt the ball's contents, then is re-released back during the reversed phase transition. Kinda neat.

A limited solution, but easily quantified and quite applicable to a narrow but popular range of use.

I first thought the title's point was Apple would be stuffing the phone's interior with wax to either make it waterproof or further frustrate reverse-engeineering attempts.

The poster is an advertisement for the paper. Same goes for oral sessions. Almost all talks include the phrase "for details, see our paper".

Posters are a nice middle ground between an abstract and a full paper. Spending 5 minutes at a poster talking with the author is almost always enough information to decide if you want to read the paper carefully. This is especially important in theoretical fields where it can take hours/days to fully comprehend difficult proofs.

Poster sessions are also important for meeting people in your niche.
I'm fairly sure this is also just the latest in a series of articles the Guardian have run about "movements" that are really just trending subreddits. I might be misremembering that but they definitely had one about r/antiwork, which in fairness was also covered by other media and had a lot more potential to turn into an actual movement than this.

I think the new strategy is just to write about any and every internet phenomenon as if it is the harbinger of a revolution. 1% of the time (Qanon, GME) you'll get it right and look like incredibly prescient. The other articles will be forgotten.
