> It’s hard when you’re told you can’t be yourself because you have to play the game

This plays on "don't ask don't tell" themes of not being able to freely express yourself; But this is the norm for the environment, you might not normally wear a suit, or cover your tattoos, but you are often expected to do these things in a business meeting.
This hack shouldn't work against iPhones, right? Even with full physical access to the phone, power analysis with physical tools was unable to extract keys from the secure enclave. Moreover, since the key is physically burnt into the silicon, shouldn't that mean it shouldn't be extractable via power analysis anyway?
True! Good point.
Your two suggestions are good - either that or a non-linear curve.

As far as Greenland goes, this year is beating last year's immense gain in surface ice coverage (just past the middle of summer there), and is on track to do even better than 2016's 5th-biggest-on-record gain in surface ice coverage.

So far this season, Greenland is gaining about 50 gigatons PER DAY in ice -- and the rate of gain is INCREASING.

"Soft skills are vital for team lead and product management but being able to write a good email and butter up your superiors isn't too important for other developers."

No, unless they work very individually. Especially not I freaking agile situation - or any other situation where developers cooperate closely or have to communicate with customer. Thinking that soft skills don't matter in team tend to be entitled.

A developer without soft skills means that all the other developers need to use twice as much soft skills whenever dealing with him. It may mean everybody else having to defend against constant attempts for micromanagement and bullying.

It means longer meetings, because that person does not read situation despite being explained it already three times. It means feature being implemented badly, because that person can't understand how someone different might want it work differently then he would prefer. It means major temper tamtrum cause team did not agreed exactly on his coding style. It means days or hour long arguments about petty differences.

It means dude claims other people "produced bad code" and team members being accused of incompetence or mocked in front of managemnt instead of being asked why they did things certain way - all the why the dude act puzzled when they are pissed when they find out their solution is actually right (but management is not there already). It means juniors afraid to open mounth.

"This is a product manager's job and if you're pushing that job onto developers then it's almost guaranteed to interfere with their other work and to be done poorly."

Unless the product manager completely micromanages the team, which tend to be ressented and tend to push out more experienced people, you have a level of autonomy around tasks prioritisation. If you can't do it, pm will do that for you, but you will be considered higher maintenance and less capable.

What You Need to Start a Great Healthcare Blog
I want people to remember US in late sixties. If somebody has good enough memory, he will recall that US citizens were legally forbidden from owning gold and even simple golden jewelry until 1974 (Nixon struck the gold standard just 3 years before).

The schizophrenic policy was "We redeem FX dollars in gold, but not let any of our own citizens have it. Instead, the treasury will own your own gold for you."

China tries to do the same trick with savings and assets of its citizens and companies.

Except that for gold and silver, we have luxury apartments, lumps of jade, exotic industrial commodities stockpiles, bitcoins, FX certificates, and other novelties.

I would put it the other way: if you can't afford insurance to cover the potential damage you're doing, then you're not allowed to do it. And I don't mean unforseeable events, I mean something obvious about your business, like creating a single giant repository of data about other people and then not securing it.

Of course the hackers are directly responsible for the damage, but Equifax's negligence sure didn't help. Maybe a fractional multiplier for sharing responsibility.
That would be true of a real BI as well, as you dont know if the government will cut it on the next election!
> Right but surely a public credit registry would have the same risk of being hacked, no?

No, I disagree. A public agency would have the same value as a target. But its incentives would be better aligned (no profit motive), which could result in better practices and less actual risk.
I think the way budgeting and management works the people in charge want to have an upfront price and timeline. It would probably be better to say "let's spend $x/year over the next years and see how far we can get".

Apparently I'm the only person who thinks the host blew it in regards to that. The guy who said "boobs" in a bad effort to be shocking and funny actually tried to keep the conversation on topic.. going so far as to talk over the host when she kept trying to get him to clarify what he said. Yea he's an asshat but she blew that entire bit. And she wasn't helped by the apologist who couldn't move past it either.

She should have just moved on and then at the end of it informed him he's a mysognist and wouldn't be allowed back on the show.. not just declare she's cutting the mics because she's so fragile and mind blown.

This is a joke. You need standing to sue. You can’t sue unless you have actually suffered a harm.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld a lower court ruling on Crawford et al concerning FATCA; the 6th Circut overturned the precedent set by Susan B Anthony List v. Driehaus by adding a heightened requirement for standing; harm doesn’t need to just be credible to give rise to standing, it has to be credible AND certain.

Interestingly the recent 6th Circuit decision on Crawford gutted Roe v. Wade as well — essentially making the standing of any woman suing doubtful. Crawford rewrote the standing requirements of Roe v. Wade — and if applied to this current case, the cities will have the case thrown out because a harm from rising sea levels might be credible, but it definitely isn’t certain. That seas levels will rise at all is credible but also not certain. And beyond standing, the question is: did the oil company cause the harm? It could be argued that if an oil company caused a harm by supplying oil, Oakland and San Fran harmed themselves by using gasoline and oil for years and years themselves. So who is culpable? The addict or the dealer? How about city building codes that didn’t properly address the credible harm from rising seas? If such a harm were known and Oakland et al chose to ignore it and continue to issue building permits, then it casts doubt as to the credibility of that harm. If they issued a construction permit while being knowledgeable of the harm, they are negligent; if they don’t actually think it’s a harm enough to change building codes, then it’s obviously not harm enough to get paid by oil companies.

I realize that the 6th Circuit doesn’t apply to California, since they are in the 9th, but it’s highly likely Elena Kagen will grant Cert to the Crawford case — a case that’s going to have an incredible effect on standing requirements for lawsuits such as these.

You don't know the market, you don't know the product, and you're making a lot of assumptions.

Why this doesn’t seem as a technological failure but a political struggle? I can’t understand what is wrong with the system, but definitely see what’s wrong with these public servants and unions.
There are a lot of armchair comments here, so let me throw in my 2¢: the market is bigger than you think, customers will place a heavy premium on new over used, they are willing to spend more than you think, and they aren't especially happy with the existing offerings. Making hardware is difficult, but that isn't news, and moderate success could end in a quick sale to an established player. Yes this is timed to be good PR, but isn't that how you play the game?

The common failing of these reforms, as admirable as they may be, is their reliance on the very same people who depend on the current rules for their position.

IOW, politicians don't change the rules because they suddenly grow a conscience. It has to be presented as an existential choice.

The only other bone I have to pick is with the term "centrist." Meaning what, exactly? Predisposed towards compromise? Absolute neutral in the D&D sense? Unabashedly quantitative utilitarianist?

The way HBR defines it, to be a centrist, one would have to know the extreme positions on a topic and programmatically move towards a middle or compromise position.

impressive, but i feel like this is why we invented computer models and have technology (maybe) to start returning immediate results.

We're basically saying here that $60M (plus the other group) is better spent to see what weights to give to models to see how UBI scales-up rather than spending it to run a full gamut of Test Cases through the models and figuring out which outputs to motivate people to do with the money.

I mean, why are we spending money to figure out what people will spend the money on when we can already envision all the possibilities. Or am i wrong, and no one has modeled this yet??

The insurance only covers the pump up to a certain dollar value. The fancier pumps, you have to pay for, but I think you get a rebate from insurance.
So a $200 pump is probably free, but this $1000 pump, is probably still going to cost you $800.

If "being sued into oblivion" is such an existential threat to these corporations, why does this keep happening? Nobody is getting sued into oblivion, so I don't see why that's part of the argument. It's not "suing to destroy a corporation" vs "trying to sue the government", it's "free credit reporting and a BS 'we are REALLY sorry' letter" on both sides.

Also, OPM does not get to decide if you have standing to sue them. That's up to parts of the government so far removed from OPM they might as well be a different entity entirely.

I never asked Equifax to keep me in their database and send my information to creditors.
> it's the criminals who have caused millions of dollars of damage.

Yes, that's true. But as the poster above already said some things are simply not safe to do. If I wanted to warehouse explosives, I wouldn't be allowed to do it near a populated area, I'd have to put my warehouse far away from populates areas. But absent that prohibition, let's say I found a cheap space in town, and so I loaded it up with tons of explosive material. Then a homeless fellow breaks in one night and manages to start a fire, burns the place. He survives, but the explosives were set off and half the town blew up. You'd think it's okay if I shrugged my shoulders and pointed at the homeless fellow?

Credit reporting bureaus have free reign to screw up here because there's no oversight like the BATFE and no reasonable way for them to be sued into oblivion when they screw up so badly as Equifax has clearly done here.

>Credit bureaux facilitate comprehensible risk management,

How anyone can trust Equifax to do anything anymore is beyond me. There is still no corrective force here to cause these companies to become competent with data security. This is a farce.

> Additionally, you can control the type of vehicle you are in. A Miata is a deadly vehicle. A large modern SUV is safer.

This is inaccurate. SUVs have a vastly higher rollover rate compared to traditional sedans, and the Miata's handling is far superior.

When a collision between an SUV and Miata is imminent, the Miata driver can take evasive action while maintaining control of their car, but the SUV driver often loses control and rolls the vehicle over, with high risk of head injuries. What's worse, they may hit someone else while out of control and cause even more injury.

SUVs are dangerous to be in and dangerous to be around.
What you forget in your analysis is that oil producers are not necessarily happy to exchange oil for dollars. They do that out of necessity, for the lack of an alternative. After all, any holder of wealth would be more than happy to diversify their holdings instead of "trusting" on the miraculous power of the dollar. The petrodollar is just the canary in the coal mine. Once countries are able to create an alternative to the dollar in that very crucial market, other industries will follow, especially at a moment when China is becoming the number one market and offsetting the industrial production of the US.

> Women don't breastfeed their entire lives, so the units hit the used market pretty quickly, generating pricing pressure. Sales figures might look spectacular year 1, but what about year 5?

I think people who purchase $1000 pumps are not the type who go shop on Craigslist’s for used breast pumps.

Co-founder here, proud to say we're getting ready to launch our first sales bootcamp next month online and in San Francisco.

I would love any and all feedback, happy to answer any questions.
This. Exactly. A breast pump at the cost of 4x the regular price, which is already expensive, that adds a thing you can easily do yourself and don't really need at that. If you would like the functionality there are a large number of (good looking) apps that keep these statistics at the cost of entering 3 digits every pump session.

But even worse. You don't need the functionality at all. You don't pump just because stock gets low, you pump to relief yourself. Breasts don't follow your app, it's the other way around. It's not like you can skip two sessions because you have plenty in the fridge. No matter what an app tells you. Your body will simply produce. It's a beautiful thing really, our bodies.

Overal it's a product that tries to follow the IoT hype. Guess what, the market is changing and connected boots that buzz you to go left or right (OK kinda cool), connected shavers that tell you you need to shave (O my God, how did I survive? I was doing hand to chin, yup need to shave all this time. So stupid!), and connected breast pumps are simply not good enough.

For giggles. You can buy the medela and buy the iphone8 and use a free app To track your production.
