Either side learning that one of their customers is also a customer of the other company would be a significant privacy issue in some scenarios. If comparison identifiers are derived from an email address then there would likely be cases where one party also learns a portion of the login credentials their customer is using at the other company.

I know the spin-offs catch a lot of shit—and the first Black Ops was awful—but Black Ops II, for all its problems, does more interesting stuff in both its single- and multi-player than I've seen in another console FPS since Perfect Dark.

I don't believe the data on that is available; at least, I haven't been able to find it[1]. I'd love to be wrong, if someone else has information.

I'm glad your frequent travels are eased through customs to the point where you don't see what happens. But allow me to suggest that a frequent traveler through one port once a month is an insufficient data set from which to draw conclusions?

If nothing else, you have available the fact that a software vendor sees sufficient demand to invest in this feature, to go along with your google skills to find counterexamples to your experience. I don't know if that's sufficient to get you past your blithe dismissal of others' concerns and lived experience and on to a skeptical but open view or not.

[1] Which would be typical; one of the easiest tactics to steer public discussion is to pick and choose what data to collect and release. The US has a long history of this tactic, especially with issues that touch on law enforcement. The lack of decent data on killings committed by police is well-known; categorical refusal to allow studies on various drugs is too. But this is a frequent problem; hammering on killer cops with video is provoking grudging, slow change on the first and incremental legalization of pot is changing the second. But there are lots of issues over which this happens.
I remember two years ago I was playing a fun little game on iOS and it felt nice and fast and I had no problems with it.

Until I got complaints from the network manager at my work because it seems that when you skip the video ads it continued to play them in the background and used up the very meager bandwidth we had at the time.

It's very easy for a simple accidental mistake to cause all sorts of issues while the app still feels "fast".

(I'm still kind of surprised/disappointed that got through app review).

Also, just because something is fast enough that people don't complain doesn't mean that it's fast enough that people are happy. I'm used to the speed of my TiVo, it could be MUCH faster.

The truth is: people are used to poorly designed things that don't go very fast. That doesn't make it OK to give them more of them.
The article states:

“Current lidar systems can’t see a black tire, or a person like me wearing black—Velodyne’s [Puck] wouldn’t see a 5- to 10-percent reflective object [30 meters away]. It’s the dark car problem—no one else talks about it!”

How are the current autonomous vehicles from the Google, Uber et al compensating for this shortcoming?

If anyone has some recommendations for learning more about Lidar that they could share I appreciate it.
The basic point of the article is that if you want a basic feature phone, you can get them for £20 or less while this one costs £50. I suppose the extra £30 could be worth it as a fashion statement for a festival phone. But, the people who are nostalgic about the 3310 must be 30+ by now, and few of them are spending a week in the festival mud. Is it for younger hipsters who want to pretend they are being nostalgic?
I'm curious, do you occasionally try dressing up before working? There is a definite placebo affect when you dress up.

The latest version of iOS runs on all iOS devices back to the iPhone 5 -- introduced in 2012. How many Android phones still get updates from their manufacturer 5 years later?

Just a thought, the friction using Electron might create for the vast majority of people in the future is preconditioned on potential early adopters trying it now. The feedback here from potential early adopters is that installing an extension to allow violating same origin policy is blocking consideration.

On the one hand, a browser extension may be the simplest thing that might work. And it probably would work if there was an established relationship of trust (and probably why it works for your team). Out beyond the bounds of your team, there is no basis for trust and installing a browser extension that goes around browser security doesn't make much sense when people have not yet seen a reason why they should use the site.

It's worth noting that JSFiddle does not require a browser extension to allow unsafe behavior and the comparison may set expectations that cannot be readily met.

Finally, people might be more engaged and therefore likely to install the extension if the link was to a landing page that explained what the product is, provided technical details of how it works, provided technical details of the extension, and provided examples of successful use before they were taken to the interactive demo...if the demo ran in a sandbox on your server without an extension that would be even better.

Well, I said 'finally' but I took one more look at the site and the names of the people getting shoutouts do not inspire trust in an extension that wants to circumvent same origin policy. They may be nice people and white hats, but how would I know?

Good luck.

Putting celebrities on professional boards isn't anything new, and the Economist covered this in 2010 [1], showing that it has a positive affect on share value.

I guess it's kind of like how rich celebrities never pay for anything (comped meals, free valet parking etc...) because their mere presence is payment enough.

Looks like SurveyMonkey is going public. As a public company it's important for the CEO to have a pliable board made up of people who owe their seats to you. That's how the big comp packages are awarded.
I've done React Native, it is beta but Ive dealt with XCode builds breaking when upgrading versions multiple time, also XCode builds need to pass and bad builds are not hard to come by, fixing XCode builds can be painful, for example you have to download multiple gigabytes of Xcode to support the latest iOS version, Android isn't that much better to be honest, but shipping makes it all worth it!

District court judges are still bound by precedent from the Fed. Cir. and Sup. Ct. in patent cases - that's only part of the story. They also have wide latitude in how they organize and schedule their courts, giving rise to the so-called 'rocket-docket' phenomenon. Speed favors the plaintiff, especially in patent cases, and the EDTX has local rules that favor speedy trials.

Kind of. There are two types of dysgraphia, physical, and cognitive. For people with physical dysgraphia, they do effectively sidestep their limitations.

I have cognitive dysgraphia. Basically most people don't think about writing once they've learned to write, they just write. That is, they've automated the physical component of turning words into text.

I, on the other hand, have an extremely diminished ability to translate language into physical expression. Basically whereas forming letters for other people is always automatic, I always need to think about what a letter looks like and then draw it.

I've been trying to use speech-to-text software for probably 20 years now. It has definitely improved, but it has never gotten to where I want it to be. For one thing, written speech is fundamentally different than the spoken word. There is a lot of implicit formatting that speech-to-text completely misses. Adding in this formatting adds back in all of the overhead that I hope to avoid by speaking in the first place.

One of the biggest issues is that speech-to-text works great when your vocabulary is limited. I think this is one of the reasons why it has always been a reasonably popular option for doctors and lawyers when compared with other fields. I think speech-to-text suffers when it comes to general-purpose writing because the vocabulary is so much larger, and understanding what word is intended requires a lot of context.

I've tried recording, and it works reasonably well, but it is really slow. The best coping strategy I've found is to write down all of my ideas on notecards (or any paper really) and then arrange them in a logical order. I then type out a rough draft using the notecards. I then print the rough draft and then type out my second draft (rather than editing my first).

Fundamentally, my dysgraphia shows up in testing as substantially lower working memory when writing than when performing other tasks. (To the tune of two standard deviations or so). I think my method works because it sidesteps the need to hold information in my head while writing.
This has something to do with organizations being flat.

In a monolithic top-down hierarchical organization, employees are expected to conform. So attire rules reflects the culture where management and top-down decision making is common.

In a flat organization, decentralized decision making happens more often. So the culture might shift towards encouraging individual differences and more freedom in work style, including casual attire.
I agree, and you shouldn't ignore the speed limit or pirate music without good reason. I'm not saying follow the law at all costs, but give the law the benefit of the doubt. In a mostly democratic society, rules are often (obviously not always) there for good reason even if at a glance they seem pointless or wrong.

This is why I wish Fossil were less opinionated and supported rebase and exposed branches and tags as the light-weight names that they are underneath the covers (just like git). Fossil uses SQL, which means that all of the things @csswizardry and much more that no git developer has ever thought of.. can be done with a little bit of SQL.

But no, Fossil's UI is like Mercurial's, and it favors merging over cherry-picking and rebasing. Their loss!

Fossil does have a cherry-pick operation, and anyways, one could trivially be constructed. Which means that rebase can also be constructed easily enough. But my impression is that the devs aren't interested in such contributions. And the heavy- vs. light-weight branching model in the UI is a big turn off even if I can deal with it at the SQL level. Fossil's push/pull model ([auto]sync everything) is also not to my liking -- sure, in a corporate environment pushing every branch is a good idea, but in an open source world it's not: I may want to push some branches to one upstream, others to another, and yet others not at all.

This is what I like about git:

- the index

- git exposes the Merkle hash tree concept at the lowest layer

- git branches and tags are just symbolic pointers to commits (see previous point)

- support for many remotes

- git is not opinionated -- if you want to use a merge-based workflow, you can, and if you want to rebase instead, you can, and if you have to use e-mail to exchange commits, you can, and so on.

I'm done with the Mercurial "you do what we say" model. A model they keep half-way reneging on, adding bookmarks (which don't work well), and histedit and rebase (why not both in one command?! "because we don't like git rebase" is the answer I imagine) (they really need to be one command!! what if in the process of rebasing you must drop commits that you know duplicate others in the new base?!).

I wish Fossil's developers saw this. But they're focused on their needs: VCS for SQLite3. Since they seem to have few topic branches, they like merging.

Conversely, since Fossil's devs refuse to be non-opinionated, I wish git's developers saw the power of SQL for VCS. It would save a ton of code C and shell code, and it would make new extensions trivial. It also would make git much more power-failure safe: since it could leave that to something like SQLite3 that does a fantastic job of it (and is very well tested, both in general and as to power failure safety).

Besides this, I wish git has branch history. That is, a single push can push multiple commits by different authors, so it would be nice if one could see who pushed what commits. This would be useful as documentation in and of itself: if you see N>1 commits pushed together and need to revert one of them, you might look at whether you need to revert the rest as well, as they might go together. (Some codebases like to push regression tests first, bug fixes after. This allows one to see that tests detect the bugs they're testing for and that corresponding bug fixes fix those bugs. If one has to revert a bug fix commit, one might have to also revert a corresponding test commit.)

I'm a big fan of buses or perhaps more accurately I guess semi intelligent pipes with semi intelligent endpoints.

I have used RabbitMQ (and Kafka at times) for large portion of my career and anytime I tell people this the bring up the single point of failure.

The single point of failure arguments is getting really old and is fairly baseless particularly if your storage (e.g. RDBMS) or network (single zone or even multi zone load balancer) is also not a single point of failure.

So to avoid this red herring of a problem for many who really don't need to solve that problem they create massively complicated endpoints.

This endpoint code is proprietary and often has to be deployed at the same time and creates fairly tight coupling. The Netflix Hystrix creator (Ben Christensen) discussed this issue at length here: https://www.microservices.com/talks/dont-build-a-distributed... (its also ironic that he built Hystrix and various dependencies which are sort of the antithesis of this... I guess 20/20 hindsight).

There are pros and cons and its not always "lazy design decision".
