I read your post on twitter and absolutely loved it. But Pebble needs to make it accessible. Maybe a special dev version (not everybody will need/want to hack their Core).

I love it when a product gets a new use through mostly a marketing change rather than anything technical.
Apple Prepping a Siri SDK and Echo Competitor
The force-multiplier for experienced users would be even more powerful if each convention covered more utilities, and in the optimal case if there were only one (I can dream, right?).

I agree that it's very useful for an experienced user to learn the genealogy of all these tools for command-line wizardry, but they shouldn't have to.

It was way oversold at first. It was going to be really cheap, and flexible, like a sheet of paper. It ended up being a front layer on an LCD-like device. Early versions were dark grey on light grey, like cheap newsprint. The contrast has been improving, but it's still not as good as printed paper.

Other than E-readers, the big application has been retail price signs.[1] With a passive display, they can be battery powered and have a long battery life. They only need to wake up and rewrite when the price changes. (Most of the ads for these displays show something like "30% off!")

Here's a 2014 analysis by Kaspersky of this rootkit: https://securelist.com/analysis/publications/58278/absolute-...

Here's Absolute Software's reply: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/17/kaspersky_computrace...

The Kaspersky post focuses on the PC BIOS rootkit, these days they seem to have added "support" for smartphones and tablets, though it seems as far as Android is concerned, only Samsung is along for the ride.
That's a bad comparison, because Palo Alto is not representative of housing prices in American metro areas, it's an exception.

A better comparison would be someplace like northern New Jersey, or any such suburb, where you can be an hour away from a big city and you can get a house for ~$350k or so. Then you can enjoy having decent access to the big city, and also having lots of nice amenities very close by, enjoying a much prettier environment (there's a reason it's called "the garden state"), and there's better-paying jobs than anything you'll find in the midwest.

If I were stuck in STL for some odd reason and someone gave me $1M, I would not stay in STL, I'd move to someplace where houses cost $300-500k most likely.
I don't live anywhere near SOMA. I live in Canada in one of the ten or so "tech cities" where one can reasonably get a job as a programmer.
> I've never understood why people make such a big deal out of that deduction.

It contributes to economic unfairness. Paying less taxes just because one owns a house is not optimal use of tax dollars when people who can't afford a house are doing pretty badly.

A homeowner pays less in housing costs (mortgages aren't subject to rent increases by a landlord) and pay less taxes than someone who rents who makes the same and they get to keep all the equity. It's incredibly unfair.

The historical reason for the subsidy is to increase home ownership. It's not really helping anymore.
Apple is not on the compatibility list. I am pretty sure Apple is not a "partner" like the link URL suggests. The web page only says they deliver App Store calibre solutions. That is a different sport than firmware "solutions".
That long commute only happens when you live outside of the expensive coastal city, but insist on working there.

I can probably drive to all those places (work, school, grocery) faster than you can walk to them. Had I been willing to live on a street with cars passing by, I could have been within a few hundred feet of work+school or the grocery store. As it is, they are all within 3 miles without really any traffic. Getting to work is 3 minutes. Getting to groceries is about 7 minutes, and I can actually bring back enough stuff for a large family. School would be 1 or 2 minutes.

Oh, as a bonus, I never face the threat of personal crime.

My point is that most of these metrics just use sticker prices. If you say something like wages have decreased in relation to housing and automotive prices, you can't ignore that houses are bigger today and automobiles are more reliable. If the median car price has stayed the same but your car now lasts you almost 100% longer [1], that is a stable sticker price but a 50% percent reduction is the yearly cost. If the median price of a house has increased by 75% [2] but the house is 50% bigger, the effective price increase is barely above inflation.

By spending 5 seconds on google, or alternatively by using your intuition.

Googling "hidden service multiple ports" instantly answers every single one of your questions, and the answers are rather obvious.

Who would've thought that adding a new port is as easy as just adding another port definition?

Honestly, if this is a problem you shouldn't be trying to host hidden services by yourself anyway. Even if Tor took literally one click to set up the other software will still fuck you, like apaches mod-status.

No, it isn't.

Walmart or any other nationwide retailer isn't going to give you lower prices on TVs or clothes or groceries because you're in a low cost-of-living area. It all costs the same, nationwide. Same goes for anything online. ISP/telecom costs are not any lower in the midwest. Gasoline is not significantly cheaper. Cars cost the same no matter where you buy them. What else is left? I suppose you can get away with paying someone less to mow your lawn there, but that's about it.

There are a few reasons you would do this in CPP, though I'm not sure whether they apply to this case.

You might put function definitions in headers to (1) avoid linking a library (2) explicitly declare a function as inline, maybe (3) it's simple enough that you don't lose readability by inlining it.

The one about putting large classes entirely in CPP files: I wouldn't do it this way for readability reasons, but putting it in the CPP file directly does restrict anybody else from using what is supposed to be a one-off helper class. I think that's the intent here.
It was not a midnight vote (or at least, not what the term implies), but yes, it was definitely rammed through. I've never seen such an absolutely-will-not-take-no-for-an-answer ramming job ever on anything.
Which is fine. But, at least in the US, many of the even "urban area" tech jobs are not within a city's public transit system etc. Personally, I work for a tech company which is about an hour outside of the local major city and that's pretty typical of many of the major tech jobs in the area.
In the interest of helping fellow devs:

Reasoning presented was basically handwaving about "people wanted different compensation (read: divide and conquer)"/"we don't have to tell you this". I pointed out that, under my reading of the applicable law, I could exercise one of my vested shares and then check the books for myself--they didn't like that one bit. CEO got flustered when I brought the whole thing up--I'm sure they could've dealt with things more reasonably, but being on the spot they fumbled and erred on the side of "let's say as little as possible until we understand what we're doing".

By contrast, I asked a friend of mine what his company cap table looked like and he showed me the whole spreadsheet--a company with more investors, more revenue, more customers, and more traction than the one I was working for at the time. So, I couldn't by the "well we can't show you this" argument, because it was obvious bullshit.

The main takeaway is that one of their senior folks (me) said "Hey, you're paying us below market wages and are refusing to make up for that with competitive equity: why?" and they failed to provide a satisfactory explanation. If you choose to be secretive about that sort of thing, more power to you--but you can't be surprised that you'll be seen as untrustworthy, dishonest, and sheisty by people that ask the questions. If an intern wants the cap table, then I can understand not spending the cycles--but people who are building your teams, building your product, and doing the work your C-level should be doing (grump grump) actually do need that information to make good decisions.

As for your last question, upon my departure my options were bought back for a reasonable amount. You have to watch out for who pays taxes in such cases, but that wasn't an issue. I'm pretty sure they did this so they wouldn't have options outstanding to people that weren't working there anymore, because reasons. It's pretty silly if you ask me. There are reasons for that sort of thing, but those reasons didn't seem to apply.

No my argument is this particular design is both unjustified for the use case and poorly thought out/implemented. The uuid as varchar(50) is a dead giveaway of amateur status.
Of course there's no followup discussion. The fact that software engineering is "destroying jobs" is the wrong problem to focus on, but any discussion that approaches the right problem -- capitalism -- is practically taboo in United States.

Peter Thiel Has Been Funding Hulk Hogan's Lawsuits Against Gawker
Similar results have been known for years, but this is good stuff. I guess I'll keep reading news.y....
I found that really interesting too. My comment from there:

Throwing money at the problem of poverty, ironically, is actually being treated as a serious answer by international NGOs these days, where for ages people tried everything else on the assumption that the feckless poor would spend it on drink. Build infrastructure for them, food aid, subsidized goods, food stamps, workfare, every which way but "here have some cash". But when they actually tried the cash, it worked. That's one reason I'm optimistic about a basic income. Another, is that I feel that a whole lot of creativity has been stomped flat by, basically, living one paycheck from the street. With an inflation-pegged basic income that's enough to subsist on, and protected against creditors, effectively that fear would be gone. Bad news for employers wanting cheap poor people to do awful jobs. Good news, for all those individual people. I have a feeling they'd rebuild their local economy. I have a feeling, too, a lot of people stuck in the city by the necessity of the next paycheck, would move out and join them.
Perhaps you should be running the LTS version then?

Sure does make this line in Thiel's Wikipedia page a bit awkward: "The Thiel Foundation is also a supporter of the Committee to Protect Journalists, which promotes the right of journalists to report the news freely without fear of reprisal" Oh, but I'm sure this wasn't reprisal against Gawker (and specifically Valleywag, which was always extremely critical of libertarian VC techbros in general and Thiel in particular), he was just so moved by the plight of a pro wrestler suffering immensely from a leaked sex tape.

Look, I'll get out in front of people accusing me of bias and just say it: I've always hated Thiel. I hate his politics, the behavior of several of the companies he founded, and his smarmy "drop out of college!" advice. But even if you don't share my bile, you should be deeply disturbed by the fact that at least one Silicon Valley billionaire is talking about freedom and innovation with one side of this mouth, while using his money to try and destroy insufficiently sycophantic press outlets. We're moving ever-closer to a world where our industry leaders are not very distinguishable from 19th century robber barons (maybe not to you, but increasingly to the general public)
> Michael Schumacher and your 15yr old new driver need very different UI's

The UI isn't different because the users are different. The cars are. An F1 car is crammed for a reason. This is a deeper problem than adjusting for users. And this is what most still don't get.

This UI vs functionality dichotomy does not exist. Any compromise is artificial. UI must be purely functional, and from function emerges pure form. A good designer is focused just as much on function, as is a good developer on design. In other words, they are the same person. And this is basically Apple's design philosophy in a nutshell.

A UI designer didn't design the cockpit of the F1 car, nor the Camry. They may have chosen the font, the shapes, the icons... but everything was already there. Function necessitates it. And the interfaces of both cars are incredibly simple.
I was wondering the same thing. Just speculating about possible mechanisms: if the different colors have different particle sizes, then they'll move at different speeds. So if you modulate the strength and duration of the charge that you apply, I think you'd have some control over which colors end up at the front of your pixel.

I don't know how you'd do different shades of 3/4 colors though.

From my previous comment:

>And that is how you end up with another XP fiasco.
My thoughts:

1. If you bring out LEGO while introducing yourself to a new team, you're going to seem less down to earth and approachable and more like a children's social worker.

2. I feel that hiding serious topics behind infantile representations is only going to jade your mature staff, and lead to a lack of trust as they would feel patronised and discouraged from straight and open conversation.

3. Not that I work in such an environment, but it seems like a lot of startups go for a light and playful atmosphere but end up with a very forced 'have fun... or ELSE' culture in a failed attempt to Google themselves. I feel the same failure often occurs with service industry companies trying to follow the Disney management style.

Just my two cents. For the record ping pong tables and rubik's cubes rub me the wrong way also.

>After giving clear public statements of their future support cycles? Good luck being the lawyer defending that one in a nine-figure dollar lawsuit with a Fortune 100 or ten.

Yeah, so what happens when they pull support for Win7 Home and maybe Pro, and continue it as normal for Enterprise, so that the Fortune 100 companies aren't affected? Home users aren't going to sue MS, and SMBs aren't too likely to either.

Don't forget, MS can claim they don't need to offer support to these smaller users, because they're giving them a free "upgrade" to their latest and greatest! You're right about the F100 companies, but they're a totally different market. MS is still supporting XP for some companies remember; they'd likely do the same (but maybe without any extra cost for a while) for their enterprise customers running W7.

>Now who's joking? Apple owns the high end of the laptop market and has for years.

The headline undersells the article - it has some good advice with general applicability to protocol design, not just crypto protocols.
Spend some time in some of these communities and figure out how to help? I don't think technology or software should be taken only to mean automation. A lot of fertile ground is opened up by easier communication, and many enterprises fail by inefficiency. Anything to help rural marketplaces or small businesses or healthcare could be very valuable.
That would depend very much on how the wealth is consumed I would guess. If it is used to finance vacations to Mexico and throw away imported consumer goods, that wealth will be lost. If it was used to build nice cities and finance great art, it would be preserved.
But what's the alternative?

Removing the incentive gradient of capitalism doesn't create paradise, it just creates a new incentive gradient that can be even more perverse and horrifying than the last.

OK,

Actually looking at your data, it's the size of newly built houses. So definitely the houses themselves are getting bigger.

But with the occupants of all the houses, old and new, getting on average poorer, I'd be most interested in the average and median square footage that Americans live in and I don't think your data really gives data on that.
On the other hand Intel hasnt done anything groundbreaking in the last two years either.
