My issue with that saying is that it prejudices people against Free (as in libre) Software.

Free Software is free, and you aren't the product when you use it. In most cases its the only software that actually puts the user first.

Saying "If it's free, you are the product" tells people that the only way to get good software is to pay money for it. When in reality lots of payed software harvests your data just as much.

"Lithium-ion batteries contain little lithium metal and in case of a fire they can be dowsed with water. Only lithium-metal batteries require a Class D fire extinguisher."
Yeah I look at it more as a learning opportunity. Nothing inherently wrong with something having a catastrophic failure by way of user error, I mean, speaking from a safety expectations standpoint.

I remember when the Courier[1] demo came out. I was excited about it... Then deeply disappointed when it was unceremoniously shelved. It's speculation whether it would have been a successful product, but I think the idea back then had potential but Ballmer was unwilling to gamble on it.

[PS] On the other hand, he did gamble on long-term things like Azure, so it's not like he made all the wrong bets --but it seemed like an obvious bet to go with something like a Courier, specially after all the buzz it created.

I think that most people (not teenagers) cannot hear past 15 kHz, especially with other sounds playing. This is reproducible at standard sampling rates you mention.

Harmonics are integer multiples of frequencies. Harmonics of an ultrasonic signal are even more ultrasonic. If there's any aliasing, those harmonics might map back to audible frequencies. However, no matter how cheap a speaker is, no aliasing happens. Perhaps there's another reason why an ultrasonic waveform might be audible when played through a cheap speaker, but not because of harmonics, right?

It'd be interesting if tobacco could be safer, but isn't, because the manufacturers don't want to incur the expense and anti-tobacco folks want to keep people from smoking at all, not make it safer (c.f. vaping, which is — I think — basically harmless and yet is banned as much as smoking is).

Not necessarily true, as the effort to miniaturize the package size for use in ICBM warheads proceeded, they've successively reduced from the "soccerball" style of lenses in the trinity device down to only a handful (it is a design mandate that a bomb retains "one-point" safety in the event that it is detonated by an external source at a single point, but referencing Command and Control here, there have been flawed bomb designs that had a 15% chance of a 40kt yield in an accidental one-point detonation).

Not all other areas. Some products are inherently unsafe, and that is precisely what the costumers want. Alcoholic beverages are unsafe, even lethal if you drink too much. They could be made safer by removing the alcohol, but that is not what most people want. The same applies to fast food and sugary drinks: could be made much safer, but people want a certain flavor at a certain price (and most know it's not healthy).

Inhaling the smoke of burning tobacco leaves can cause cancer. I am fairly certain nobody has as strong of an incentive to create cancer-free tobacco as tobacco companies do. That does not mean it is possible, right?

Anyway, by all means, continue smoking if you think it's going to give you some sort of superpowers or immunity that you can pass on to your progeny. Most likely it'll just give you a disease.

Yes, this is what I was talking about, and yes, specifically for VLC. Plus it's not like playback is so taxing that all cores are pegged at 100% during playback. When I seek, VLC should get off its ass and scramble to come up with the correct full frame then. I'll wait.

I'm working on an app that passively picks up ultrasonic tones generated by SilverPush and sends out garbled data.

Doesn't sound 'comprehensive' to me- they didn't review every one of the billion ballots, they only reviewed a few that they got what they determined to be a credible report of voter impersonation.

As someone else has pointed out, voter impersonation would be a slow and difficult path to stealing an election, so I am skeptical that it takes place on a large scale, but I have reservations about the claims made in this review.
When I moved my message board to HTTPS, we had mixed content warnings on avatars. After adding a Content-Security-Policy header to upgrade insecure requests, we found that most sites without HTTPS failed quickly. But five or six people had domains that would "load" for 10+ seconds before finally timing out. Which had the effect of making forum topic pages take 10+ seconds to stop showing the "page loading" animation.

Any site lacking HTTPS should instantly close connection attempts on port 443. But some it seems choose not to respond at all, making the browser unsure if the site is just slow or if an HTTPS service doesn't exist.
uTorrent was great because it was optimized to be small and fast: a single exe file upx'ed.

> To be honest I'm not sure what you're arguing.

I'm not talking about illegal aliens voting.

My point was that it's unfair to claim voter fraud via impersonation never happens because we have little evidence of it happening, while acknowledging nobody has to verify who they are and fighting to ensure they never do.

If movie theaters don't employ security to pat down people and watch attendees over security cameras, candy will continue to be snuck in. They choose not to, and that's fine, but by no means does that suggest nobody is sneaking candy in. It just means they've chosen not to enforce it, just like we've chosen not to verify people are who they say they are.

If we were handing out money this way, it'd be abused instantly. If we verified identity this way before doing background checks for buying a gun, you guys would immediately point out how ridiculous it is. Yet voting is different.

> We get it, your estimate will be off.

Many people don't get it. And if you genuinely don't know, then how is claiming you do anything other than writing a cheque against an account of unknown balance? If you feel like you don't have a good handle on how to estimate the project, that is an important sign that:

- The scope of the project is actually not well defined.

- The tools you are going to be using are ones you don't have a lot of experience with and you have a high probability of running into an odd bug that takes a long time to track down

- You haven't broken down the task enough.

- The task is large enough that you should actually be biting off a smaller piece of it and estimating that.

If you think that there is a significant chance of missing a deadline, you should indeed communicate that as soon as possible. That includes during the meeting where you give your estimate.

> Stop procrastinating at the start

If you find that you do actually have a bunch of time that you're losing at the start, ask yourself what the causes of that are and seek solutions to those causes.

- Consistently get good food every day and good sleep every night

- Use https://freedom.to/freedom to block HN and reddit.

- Make sure that you are clear on the projects' goals and the tools you are going to use.

- Make sure you know whom you can go to when you need to get clarification on things.

But be aware that there are other causes for deadline slip.

> this is 100% your fault

If you find yourself in on a software team or a state of mind where your top-of-mind question is "who's fault is this?" get out of there. Pointing fingers prevents organisations from making systems-level changes to avoid them.

Furthermore, if you get yourself into the mindset of "I failed and am behind on this project and it is my fault and I need to just buckle down, catch up, and fix it." then you will not do yourself or the project any favors. Take a deep breath (or even a brief walk), find a senior engineer that you trust, and ask for their help in thinking about how the project is structured and how it might be estimated.
Regardless of Kotlin (which I don't feel inclined to learn at this point), would you say Scala is usable for Android development?

True, but you can hardly call a company you only own 11% of - your company. It's someone else's.

But then again depends what and why your doing it. If that 11% is worth enough to you (and the company is otherwise healthy), then you might not even care.
