Here in the UK, sports channels are always an optional (and quite expensive) extra - it seems to work. Same with movie channels.
The thought of going to space is certainly enticing, but since I don't like turbulent flights or rollercoasters, this is probably not for me.

English overloads vowels to the point that almost any vowel or any cluster of vowels can be pronounced like any other given certain contexts and there are far more vowel sounds than there are letters to represent. E.g. Despite being the most common vowel sound in the language, English has me symbol for schwa. Better representational symbology better aligns pronunciation with orthography and regularizes spelling.
> But it does protect against the exact threat model you proposed.

Encryption doesn't protect against traffic analysis. Knowing someone is present or that some device is in use is significant information.

Does the device you are proposing authenticate the reader before transmitting anything? If not, it's not particularly difficult (probaly by modifying a reader) to test if people have a security device on them. That only requires a ping, no crypto needed.

> I'm a ham

I used to be, for many years. (I wish I had more time for such things these days)

> large, awkward, and expensive antenna

That depends entirely on what you want to do. If you want to read the entire crypto transaction from the next building, then yes, an expensive antenna[1] will be required. If I just want to detect who is carrying a security device, you won't need a particularly accurate antenna - it just needs to have a decent gain.

My point with that example is that it's never a good idea to underestimate how much time and effort people will put into an attack. If criminals can add a man-in-the-middle chip piggybacked onto a chip-and-pin smartcard[2], they can made a decent cantenna.

> So do you or don't you think RF communication in a security device is an inherent problem in and of itself?

RF is an extra risk that should be avoided whenever possible for security devices, especially when effective alternatives are available.

In your linked video about the hospital, the smart card was slotted into a reader. This would work well and has no need for RF. It's certainly a far better solution than memorizing bad passwords.

Yeah but in the UK consumers are used to public viewing in pubs. The USA has a far less developed sports bar market.
Except for locally blacked out games, which are the most interesting to people. So, that $200 deal is not that interesting to many people.

Also, for the less technological among us, a cable subscription is required, which adds quite a lot to the price tag.

My takeaway point was the nearly $40/mo each cable subscriber pays towards sports programming in aggregate. One of the reasons I cut the cord was the transparent fee Comcast had added (and hiked) related to Chicago-area local sports.

As people that don't care about sports on TV ditch cable for streaming, that will just increase the budget pressure on all sports networks.
Instead of having a case like this, I would settle for an iPhone than was a little thicker. I see diminishing return on going thinner. Just put some more battery in the phone.

Sequoia Invests $13m in Lemonade to Transform Insurance
The question is too vague to give a good brief answer. Narrowing it down, I believe that it is possible for a good driver to reduce the stop-go element of heavy traffic by following the car in front at a judicious (more than average) distance and then braking more slowly than the car in front as the traffic in front is reducing speed. When the traffic in front starts to accelerate again the driver then accelerates more slowly until a sufficient distance is achieved between him and the car in front such that the slower braking technique can be used again as necessary. I know from personal experience that it is possible to reduce the stop-start nature of the traffic in this way.
There are lots of people who would pay to do it!

Btw, I am a dev. But I have to sometimes go in production see servers because I need to help production sysadmins troubleshoot the weirdness of todays mis-performing easy to use solutions (selinux, systemd, rsyslogd, packaging).

No, can't do it. No NFL for me.
But why do we (they) keep on calling them GPUs?

And why not improve their form factor? Currently, a GPU hardly fits into a server slot. And a typical desktop can host at most 2-3 of them.

As a radical idea: why not design this type of auxiliary computing power as separate boxes that can be attached to a desktop or server computer by a cable?
Can you just add the reason in the response? Don't need a super specific error code for this. Could also be a 400 since users should not be asking for information on people they are not friends with, that seems like something is wrong with the request.

No, the myth of the young computer wizard is alive and well, and a lot of kids believe the legends themselves.

I actually disagree with the notion that games are what separated the "wizards" from the mooks, and instead just the basics of what made computers interesting (Web Browser, Chat Room, simple applications) are what made the wizards of the 80's and 90's. Parents at the time were already familiar with games by and large via consoles - most of them probably had some version of Atari at least or knew someone who did, and the parents probably thought that all gaming was the same; just stick in the cartridge. I know that personally I had a heck of a time explaining why we needed computer upgrades for various games, or why DSL was essential for my Diablo and Warcraft experiences.

Often it's the simplest of tasks and knowledge, such as knowing how to quickly get accurate search results that aren't from Google/Amazon/Facebook or comfort with whatever office suite that elevates someone to the status of Wizard. A lot of folks have a surprisingly small comfort zone when it comes to computers and online, and being able to operate far outside of that tiny comfort zone is what gives them the impression of wizardry.

Yea, the Red Wings are the one thing I miss after cutting the cord. The only option for me other than GC is going to a bar, and for a few reasons, that is not an option either. So, I catch the highlights online, go to the rink when I can, and try to make sure that taking the kids to my parents house to visit just happens to line up with a game night.
When I was taught by a GM, and the way I teach kids, start a bit different.

-Basic moves and tactics
-Very simple endings (RR+K, then Q+K, finally R+K). Without this, many games between kids just can never even finish!
-Strategy
-Basic opening theory: Nothing memorized to even 5 moves, but evaluation of the first 2 or 3 opening moves in basic lines, built upon the basic chess knowledge we had been taught. This way we avoid very short games that teach little, because white was silly and started with G4, or moved their queen 5 times in a row.

After that, kid's games look like chess: They have a beginning, a middle and an end in a sensible number of moves and many moves are about gaining material. Once we reach that point, we really can start talking about higher level topics. It's only then were openings are left for the end, because understanding things like tension and weak squares is far more useful. Kids probably have played over a hundred games too, so they can also start to see patterns, so they start having to have some intuitions about combinations all by themselves.
Sports is the main reason I don't have cable. Would I pay $20 for a few HGTV channels, and a few Discovery channels, and HBO? Sure. Would I pay $50 for the same + 20 sports channels? Nope, sports have 0 value to me.

Not a huge loss though, netflix helps make up for missing content.

What's the official stance of historians on this? I thought that it was an intentional biological strike.
Putting things in perspective: half million makes up to about 20-25k per month once you take out taxes in Europe. While huge, it is not incredibly huge. A semi-decent doctor can get close to that amount (it's easy when you charge euro 100 per visit and you forget to pay taxes).

I am just saying that paychecks tend to be overestimated by people in the low to medium income brackets. Most of those half million folks work 24/7. Once you divide by the amount of crazy hours they work, they are making more or less like a decently paid engineer...

I am more upset by how much doctors make, for many of them in the end do an office job (they don't have hundreds of families futures in their hands). Also because, in many cases, those incomes are high because of stupid laws rather than market value. While CEO do tend to be more on market value.
I've started something like that too. Instead of a templating engine I am just providing a jsfiddle-esque interface that smashes all the parts together with a bit of magic on top to get tracking and forms.

Tesla's site says "Each Powerwall has a 7 kWh energy storage capacity, sufficient to power most homes during the evening using electricity generated by solar panels during the day."

As long as you're not turning on every light in the house, I'd imagine it could handle a couple hours of outage, particularly in Vermont where the need for A/C is limited. Might not want to run an electric stove, but it'd certainly power a few lights, phone chargers, and a gas furnace.

Anyway, it's almost a 100% certainty that a utility company won't throw massive amounts of cash into a capital project just to "be seen as hip"...particularly when they're operating in a state that doesn't have a de-regulated consumer energy market (such as Vermont, in this case).

Couldn't an equity crowdfunding investor spread their money around hundreds of companies as well, making smaller sub 1000 dollar bets. Or is there a minimum investment amount for this?

The main reason I'm skeptical of this approach is that I think the most promising companies won't do it, so the pool of companies doing equity crowdfunding will be low quality
Without sign on, how will your company validate that bug reports are generated by people who actually use the software? How will your company reliably attribute multiple bug reports to the same customer/site/version?

While I think outsourcing the bug reporting infrastructure is a good long term strategy, at the early stage of a company, talking directly to the customers on the phone may be more valuable, while outsourcing and/or "anonymizing" the identities of bug reporters increases the odds that a customer's bug report slips through the cracks.

There's a sense in which the value of bugs is high. They allow the business to connect with customers who care enough to report a bug rather than switching tools.

Good luck.

You have a good point, but it's clear that CEOs do have a huge effect on company fortunes. When you get a rockstar CEO, the upside is obvious. And when you get an idiot CEO, so is the downside.

Kind of. One problem is that Wall St isn't great at distinguishing between idiot CEOs who sweat companies in the short term but kill them in the long term, M&A shopaholic and management-by-rebrand CEOs who flap around doing a lot of useless stuff with no actual clue, rock stars who grow companies with a vision, and bullshit CEOs who churn through investor cash and wishful thinking but create no real profitability.
Because of the wonderful way copyrights work on photographs. When I take a picture, I own the copyright of that picture, even if it's of a copyrighted thing. That's how photographers stay in business (think about school photos, or wedding photos, with studio logos and expensive "packages").

If I take your picture, your image belongs to me. So it follows that if I take a picture of your picture, that also belongs to me.

Isn't copyright a wonderfully logical instrument?

I can't speak for the US but in the UK the primary driver for satellite television is sports. People don't pay almost $200 a month for what can be had on Netflix and NowTV.

In fact I remember the panic from Sky when courts forced Sky to basically give up some of the EPL games. Sports is huge in the pay tv arena.

Sports packages are already unbundled if you look closely. There's NFL, NBA and I'm sure NHL and MLB streaming packages for European customers. They are pricey compared to what we are used to but if that 40/month for ESPN is accurate it's a decent deal.
I pay 280 Euro/season for the all access NFL package. Nice HD streaming with lots of extras, access to all archived games etc.
NBA is 250 Euro iirc.

[And no blackouts etc. for Europeans...eventhough I'm not sure I think UK customers had some blackouts since the NFL is a pay TV option there...blackouts are a silly concept, glad we don't have them]
> no one moving physical stuff around in a warehouse could [move large company's revenue by 10%]

Sure they could. They're the feet on the ground, so to say, and so they have the best insight into inefficiencies which are occurring on a day-to-day basis. You can bet it wasn't a CEO who discovered UPS' "only make right turns" trick. Or Bezos who optimized Amazon's warehouses.

A 10% reduction in costs is very realistic for these kinds of finds, and those reduction in costs are worth more than a 10% increase in revenue.
Pension funds and mutual funds are some of the largest crowd funded entities on the planet. The former lacks transparency and has too many middlemen, and the later is far more limited in it mandate and typically is restricted to public markets.

If congress wants to bring small non-accredited investors into the private markets and increase access to capital for small companies, there needs to be mechanisms in place to do it as a pool vehicle that invests in one or more underlying companies managed by a platform because companies don't want to disclose IP, not deal with a lot of small investors.

Moreover, the regulatory, compliance, and accounting overhead single investor needs to be very low (sub $100). Any broker-dealer model will carry a significant tax unless the SEC/FINRA lighten the regulatory burden for broker-dealers (which is very high).

I haven't looked too much into this space, but what about this rationale: the existing model pushes startups into 1000x-or-bust behavior, which contributes to the low success rate, which reinforces the need for high-risk growth followed by a spectacular cash-out. This could be driven by many factors, not least of which is the "brand name VC" model in which venture funds need a couple household name home runs to attract the best deals.

Perhaps the "crowd" model would allow the creation of smaller, lower-growth companies that could dominate a niche or region, and generate long-term dividend returns for investors rather than immediate capital gains. It could fill the space between debt and growth equity for companies that have ambitions beyond the lifestyle small business, but no potential to be breakout hits. Is there already a name for this kind of funding?
