Well, it wouldn't be very fun to be in an organization at CMM-3 as I recall, that's a stage where the organization is serious about it but doesn't really understand why they're following these processes, more of a cargo cult than the real thing. Level 4 is what you really want to strive for.

And maybe CMM-2 is where an org pretends to follow a process, but when crunch time hits throws it out the window, so you get the worst of both worlds (or maybe that's typical of CMM-3, can't remember).
> I wonder if there's a correlation between the downturn in interest in RSS and Google Reader being closed.

Google Reader was a great app, I didn't believe Google one second when they basically said that nobody used it anymore.

RSS is still the best way for me, personally, to get my news from the internet on a whole range of subjects. I don't like Twitter or Facebook which are mostly noise and spam. With RSS I get my news right from the source, without a third party.

I also use RSS in APIs I write for pub-sub endpoints.

Google could have integrated RSS in Gmail for instance,the same way they integrated a chat inside the email client. They didn't because they don't believe in open tech that much anymore. It's all about messaging apps with proprietary protocols these days. Yet RSS is part of the web.
a) the sockets all connect to a central server in China
b) the sockets identify themselves to that server with their MAC address (kind of makes sense, it's a readily available, global unique (more or less) identifies)
c) if you send a message to a socket (identified by its MAC address) from the app on your phone and your mobile phone can't find it on the local network, the app sends a message to the central server in China, which sends it on to the socket, if that happens to be turned on and is thus connected over the internet to that central server

So, it's not that you can suddenly magically access devices by MAC address over the Internet (MAC addresses are still local network only), but since the sockets are all connected to a central server who knows them by their MAC address, that makes it possible to send those messages.

This would all not be a problem with good crypto for authentication (and secrecy), but apparently they put pretty much none of that into the product/app. So it should be realtivly easy to find out the MAC address and then very easy to talk to the central server and tell it to send messages to whatever device.

(It's a little like an open relay mail server, and bad for similar reasons)

gadders has a point. It'd be leaving one union to 'gain independence' only to join another, with a corresponding loss of sovereignty. Indeed the main reason (according to Lord Ashcroft's poll) people voted to leave the EU in the refendum was to regain sovereignty.

These emperor has no clothes posts are very popular, and some may ask what's the point. It's a question worth considering. I think by instinct people especially programmer/engineer types like the idea of purity.

But if you consider that every decision must be put through a cost/benefit analysis, I think the appeal is that - I (or anyone in the future that will ever touch the code) must learn JS. OK. Now they must also learn framework X. That's the added cost.

I covered this in the post you're replying to, but having to beg someone to let you leave vs. saying "we're leaving" shows a clear disparity in sovereignty. Most of the claims of loss of sovereignty to the EU were in fact nonsense.

This video by an expert in EU law covers it in detail:

https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2016/06/16/watch-dishonesty-ind...

> So let us start with a couple of myths. The first is the myth of sovereignty, there is no doubt whatsoever that the United Kingdom is a sovereign state under international law. There is no doubt whatsoever that the parliament in Westminster is the supreme law making authority in this country.

> Conversely there is no doubt whatsoever that the EU is not a sovereign entity, far from being a sovereign state, it is not even a sovereign entity, it has only those powers which has been given under the EU treaties. If the UK courts sometimes give priority to EU law in the event of a conflict with domestic law, it is purely because our parliament has expressly instructed them to do so in our own legislation.

> So is the UK a sovereign state? Yes.

> Is parliament our supreme legislative authority? Yes.

> So why do we keep hearing about sovereignty in this debate. The fact is that sovereignty is not really an issue in the debate, it is about power and influence and sovereignty is being used as a shorthand to talk about power and influence.

So, they will end up like Greece.

And they will decide to not allow scotland to use it.

Getting rid of unnecessary dependencies can have a huge impact on site download performance, especially on mobile. Even in the case of having the site cached, every resource you link will have to perform an HTTP request to at least receive NOT-MODIFIED. It can add up, especially if you're on a semi-spotty connection and trigger TCP congestion avoidance.

In most places it wouldn't be hard to just declare that the workplace is English-speaking.

The problem is that if you want to attract non-local talent, it's harder to attract them somewhere where they'll have trouble with day-to-day life. English-speaking countries have a big advantage here: no matter what nationality a professional has they probably speak English well enough to be comfortable living there.

As another poster mentioned there are cities where the overall English proficiency is so high that it matters less (Stockholm, Berlin, Amsterdam, ...)

Well, they could, theoretically, print their own pound(as they already do) and tie its value to that of GBP. Or maybe don't do that, and have it separate, like US and Canadian dollars. I know you are going to say that if they join EU they would have to take the eruo - but I don't see why it couldn't be negotiated away, there's plenty of countries which agreed to take the Euro(Poland for example) but after the 2008 crisis, suspended the adaption indefinitely.

This happens a lot - Scotland gets painted as a financial ruin, too poor to join the EU. With oil prices low and a deficit it's not exactly Norway - but suggesting it's too poor to join the EU is farcical. I live in Czech Republic and it's a FAR worse off place than Scotland, yet it's one of the more prosperous of the newer EU countries. Comparing Scotland to Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Croatia (all beautiful places, no disrespect) the gap is even wider.

That the bonuses are paid for with tax payers' money?

The banks fail, then get bailed out... and from the bailout money they continue to pay themselves bonuses when they actually shouldn't see a dime.

Banks had to be bailed out a bit too much recently to still be allowed such high bonuses.

If you only need a couple of functions though, and makes your JS bundle just a few bytes bigger, getting the whole thing from the CDN is kind of silly.

They are not backtracking, HSBC have never said they would move their HQ out of London. Since 2/3 of their business is in Asia it doesn't make as much difference if London is in the EU or not compared to many other banks.

What HSBC have said is that they may move about 1,000 jobs to Paris. That's because those jobs are tied to services that by law must be provided within the EU legal and regulatory environment. When London leaves that environment those jobs will go, not just at HSBC but across our financial sector. See my other larger post on this page for further details.
The referendum was for leaving the EU, nothing was said about what would happen afterwards, so keeping the free movement of those 4 things could still be on the cards, in which case the whole thing was a complete and utter waste of time (which I believe to be true anyway) and the idiots that voted purely because of immigration will be sorely disappointed. Save for actually not exiting the EU (referendum was non-binding), unless the risk assessment guys at financial institutions are complete morons it's a foregone conclusion that they'll be relocating.
As someone very excited about this space, I unfortunately have to agree that Tesla is playing fast and loose with autonomous safety (and more importantly, public opinion!) to be first to market. You can't be half in and half out, which is what these "assist" features are.

They're adding new features to inadequate/improperly configured hardware for what they're asking the car to do, and waiving away all liability for stupid peoples' actions with disclaimers (always be ready to take over).

Whether that's right or wrong is really subjective, especially when you take natural selection into account.

Tesla's (only!) radar sensor is located at the bottom of the bumper, if I'm not mistaken. Compare this with Google's, which is located in the arguably correct position, the roof. Also compare other manufacturers' solutions that are utilizing 2-3 radar sensors, as well as sonar.

> Another is the LSE/Berlin stock exchange merger which was going to see the German exchange hosted and operating from London. That deal will not now happen.

DAX is in Frankfurt, not Berlin.

What will be interesting is if the deal does go on, but happens in reverse. It might provide an easier path for LSE-listed companies with a heavy European interest to move to DAX.

> we cannot even start to negotiate any deals with anyone until _after_ we officially exit the EU, which will probably 2 years after invoking Article 50

The two year window post-A50 is specifically for such negotiations. However I'm also pessimistic since I don't think 2 years is enough nor will the EU want to extend it (which would need unanimous support for member states)

This isn't as simple as it seems:

1) The investigation that led to these fines (and now to freezing Facebook's funds) begun in January 2015, way before widespread encryption was implemented in Whatsapp. Whatsapp received several requests to cooperate from the first month, apparently without reply. So the argument that E2E encryption is the reason why they do not cooperate doesn't really hold. [1]

2) On the other hand, our judges and the police have flirted with the ridiculous notion that Whatsapp should "disable encryption for some users" or "find a technological solution to get around encryption" (meaning: a backdoor). [2] While this is obviously possible, it is also clearly unethical and a judge shouldn't punish the company over this possibility without there being a large discussion - possibly laws - on the subject.

People have been quick to blame the judges because of extreme court actions, but the truth is Whatsapp is no saint; some of these investigations could hit high profile criminals and obviously getting to their communications would have been a lot of help to the police, and this was possible at some point. It isn't possible anymore, so I think what we're seeing now is a backlash from those early requests.

> Another example of a hidden "cost" of Rust comes from things like Unicode support. Recently I tested a regex-heavy algorithm that used burntsushi's regex library for Rust. In initial testing, Java blew it away. What I later realized was that the default Java implementation I used did not support Unicode characters. When I enabled that support, and enabled incremental GC (to support the scale of testing I was performing), the performance was similar.

Could you explain a bit more about this? I find it surprising. If you can't share the code, perhaps you could share the regexes? Which Java regex engine did you use? (There really should only be one case where Unicode support causes performance problems, and that's when you use word boundaries.)
> Since canceling the free movement of workers was the defining issue of the referendum,

I don't think there's any valid inference from "X is what a lot of people thought they would get by voting Leave" to "X is at all likely to happen if/when the UK leaves the EU".

A lot of people thought that by voting Leave they were voting for an extra £350M/week that would go to the NHS. Nigel Farage admitted within an hour of the result that that was never going to happen, and I haven't heard anyone from the Leave camp saying anything different.

A lot of people thought that by voting Leave they were voting for the UK's businesses not to have to comply with EU regulations. But I think the most likely paths forward involve the UK continuing to do that, in order to be able to continue trading on favourable terms with the EU.

A lot of people thought that by voting Leave they were voting for much lower immigration. A bunch of senior people from the Leave camp have made it clear that that is unlikely to happen.

You talk about "totally betraying many key issues in the referendum", but that's already happened, and it's pretty clear that in so far as there was any coherent plan on the Leave side it was always intended to happen.

(... But: A lot of people thought that by voting Leave they were giving a big fuck-you to The Establishment and communicating their dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in the UK. That, they managed just fine.)

I'm not, for the avoidance of doubt, saying that if/when the UK leaves the EU we will still have free exchange of goods, services, capital and workers, or that London will keep its passporting rights. We might well lose those things. But we can't tell that we will just because keeping them would mean not giving Leave voters what they thought they were voting for. Leave voters aren't going to get a lot of what they thought they were voting for, and they never were.

Whilst I wouldn't use the word 'devastating', this is certainly a well-written review pointing out the glaring flaws in this IoT device.

It's not devastating because there's enough 4- and 5-star reviews from people who have evidently overlooked these flaws (or who have iPhones or old Android devices that allowed setup to work). This word of caution is likely to get lost among the noise.

The author has done a steller job highlighting the awful quality and attention to security of an innocuous IoT device. Granted, a wifi-controlled socket is likely to only power a table lamp or something similar, so anyone brute-forcing the MAC addresses isn't going to do horrendous amounts of damage, but the inability to prevent someone doing this is a clear illustration of the little control the end user has over 'smart' devices.
