It's another case of "if you want something, you have to pay for it".

The senior executives at my company are very responsible people, however, how could they be irresponsible? They make millions/yr, they have secretaries, and they a lot of autonomy in deciding how they should be judged. It'd be unusual for someone to be irresponsible in those conditions.

Meanwhile, worker bees balance sick kids, uncooperative coworkers, shifting priorities/deadlines, and taking the time to be price-conscious because they can't really afford to waste money. Is it any surprise that sometimes things fall through the cracks?

Sure, there are people who turn up on a tuesday and that's ill-advised. But presumably they're an at-will employee. If it's a problem, replace them with someone better. IF you can't find someone better at the same price, that's your sign that you're not paying enough for what you want. If you like the person, make the investment in their responsibility.
Google pretty much solved this issue with sideloaded apps.

Nobody is stopping you from downloading only from the store. But if you want, you can also download from outside of the store. As a bonus, Google even checks those apps for malware (but like any antivirus, it's mostly based on signatures + some relatively weak machine learning that won't stop original new malware until it gets reported by someone).

The Play Store may also be slightly less secure than the App Store, but that's mainly a factor of Google not doing any manual reviews. But this is a different issue. My point is that there's no reason why Apple couldn't allow sideloading, too.
Grep source code buddy.
It appears that wikileaks did work directly with Trump Jr. to coordinate pro Trump leaks and campaigning [1]. Whether wikileaks was actually pro-Trump, or merely playing the part with the hope of developing a relationship which could lead to their acquisition of confidential information is unclear.

"“Hey Don. We have an unusual idea,” WikiLeaks wrote on October 21, 2016. “Leak us one or more of your father’s tax returns.” WikiLeaks then laid out three reasons why this would benefit both the Trumps and WikiLeaks. One, The New York Times had already published a fragment of Trump’s tax returns on October 1; two, the rest could come out any time “through the most biased source (e.g. NYT/MSNBC).”"

I don't remember FLL having a teleop mode. Back when I did it, it was fully autonomous, but things may have changed since then.

However, FTC, supposedly the grown up version of FLL, had both teleop and autonomous, and with the way it was scored, all you really needed was a solid teleop to crush regional competitions, so we ended up doing way less programming than in middle school FLL. I believe VEX worked the same way, but I only did it one year, so my memory of it is fuzzy.
I think most companies don't expect to burn cash in needless ways that most startups are expected.

"We" could farm the "others" for nutrients and trace elements (until "we" become "others" thanks to future automation), or the "others" could kill "us," or the species as a whole could find a different arrangement than trading labor for food.

It's probably an overzealous enforcement of the Hacker News Guidelines[1], probably the portion that says "Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say."

With that said, I do feel like it is incredibly relevant to this post. From what I could tell, it's at least not a grossly inaccurate claim[2] and could partially explain the increase in lower class wages.

thanks for posting this - it's always useful to see how other people adapt these systems as I believe they can be too constrained in their proscription of how to use them. I think that's one of the main things that caused me headaches in GTD - it's such a systemic process that it's hard to adopt gradually or partially.
That I understand but in the article there's a clear anti-Trump agenda and it's just I had a higher opinion about the Economist than them pushing their agenda in an article.

It's basically: "The economy is getting better (but not thanks to Trump) and there are more jobs (still not thanks to Trump). There has been an increase in wages (you might think it's thanks to Trump, but it is not)..."

Just what exactly is your definition of an "actual, productive endeavour"?

Is it really that ridiculous that we dedicate a lot of resources to keeping track of who owns what? We're a mostly capitalist society, right? In a system where private ownership reigns supreme, you absolutely need to keep track of who owns what or we'd have even greater wealth inequality than we have now. Personally, I'd like to see some kind of anarcho-syndicalist structure but let's be honest our greatx10 grandchildren will probably still be capitalists.

This article is a little over-the-top in some spots, but the main point is correct. Cryptocurrency is an innovation in accounting: https://hackernoon.com/why-everyone-missed-the-most-importan...

IMX the usage isn't quite the same. In sports, hustle seems to mean extra effort to be in the right place at the right time - e.g. to seize an opportunity to make a shot, or challenge an attacker to block/prevent one. In business, right place and right time are part of it, but there's also an aspect of trying something novel or non-obvious. In some cases, that means pushing legal/ethical boundaries. That connotation, absent in the sports version, seems to be what the OP is objecting to.

P.S. Also, what gr3yh47 said. That's a whole different meaning of "hustle" that's probably not meant by people who describe themselves that way but which often applies to them nonetheless.

> You can completely be responsible enough to enjoy some cannabis on personal time, while also doing your 40 hours productively.

The problem is one of information from the POV of the employer: they are ultimately responsible for what the worker does on the job.

Even if P(no problem | drug use) = 0.99, the amount of negligent liability they will incur if an accident does occur, the person was intoxicated, and the employer could have checked for drugs, but didn't, is probably so high that they can't take that route.

> Listening to him, I think the big companies are going to fight hard & have popular opinion on their side when it comes to securing data.

I'm glad they are thinking this way. But over the past few years, Silicon Valley companies have also made themselves more hated and less trusted by the general public. This won't bode well for the "final fight" between them and the government, because they may be surprised to find out that people won't show up to support them anymore.

So tech companies, don't be Uber, is basically what I'm saying. Stop being so non-transparent with your data collection and your aggressive and shameless tracking, while also making it very hard for users to either know what you're doing or to disable your tracking.

If all companies would revert back to a "first, do no evil" mantra by default, I think they would find it much easier to have the support of the general public when it comes to big government fights.
Hey amir6. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding Security, you can count on two level of isolation, one being provided by the browser sandbox, the second one by a docker layer. Regarding the trafic, everything is https.
Access is protected by a passwrd provided in the url. this password in gereted randomly when starting your own browser.

Regarding history tracking, there is no build in mechanisme to keep track of history. In this demo, the image is destroyed after 15 minutes.

Of course, if you want use a remote browser for long period, you might want to get history. For now, this is only build in mechanismes. I did not do anything particular in order to keep track of it, or in the opposite hide it.

One more point, which application do you have in mind for it ?

That's very dependent on geography. A counter example: a train up or down the east coast (DC, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston) is often equal to if not greater than the cost of a flight. At least $100, usually a lot more. By comparison, buses are about $30, often less.

And that's to say nothing of extended networks - Amtrak is great if you live near an Amtrak station. A lot of people do not, and buses serve them well. Ish. For many places in the country, Amtrak is comparable to a slow plane, not a fast bus.
> Because if iOS didn't prohibit installation of apps from anywhere but it's app store then this would be much less problematic.

I love Android and I love the fact that I can sideload apps from f-droid or elsewhere. But I've seen firsthand that (by children, e.g.) sideloading apps can result in a cascade of horrible device security problems.

We can blame the user or we can save them from themselves. shrug this seems like a genuinely hard problem and I wish there was an android-but-requires-several-command-line-adb-steps-to-permit-sideloading.

In any case, I don't think Apple's decision is strictly motivated by "being able to take a 30% cut". Apple has shown a commitment to security in their public statements and their devices' design. However, I'll grant that profit was certainly part of the motivation.

Thanks for the link. While the 2014 article you linked does mislabel The University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne as "Illinois University", it conspicuously does not even mention the specific details you chide it for: population details, NSA vs NCSA, so many IP addresses, or number of airports.

As such, it seems like an odd "last straw" regarding RT's accuracy in reporting facts. Did you maybe link the wrong article, or am I maybe I'm failing to understand your sense of humor, and in fact you are making a subtle joke about the implausibility of using apparent IP address location to assign blame for a DDOS?
For many routes, it is dirt cheap, but like anything, you get what you pay for. I take it semi-regularly from Walla Walla to Seattle (approx 5 hours by vehicle) and it is about $50. If you plan ahead, there are flights (45 minutes) for $60, but they can run as high as $200. By and large the Greyhound consumer is of an income bracket where that $50 is a significant expense, and an airline ticket would be a serious stretch. Also, Greyhound appears to have a deal with the prison system, as released convicts from the state prison are regular passengers. Frankly it isn't any worse than an airplane and you get regular stops to stretch your legs and get a cup of coffee. All the busses have wi-fi and some also have power outlets.

To your point -- for really long distances, air travel is likely the way to go, but for regional transportation it is a reasonable alternative. A tank of gas in my Ford F-150 is as much as $90, making a bus ticket or a flight cost effective within the region.
Not really a BUT, is it? Times changed....

Microsoft and IBM started the development of OS/2 because IBM wouldn't support Unix. (Microsoft had the most widely used Unix of the day, in Xenix.) IBM required a proprietary OS and had a long-running war with AT&T.

Microsoft backed OS/2 strongly but sales were, in Bill Gates's word, "dismal". It was a flop. However, Windows was a hit.

Microsoft wanted to go to a 32-bit OS/2 v3, which is what became Windows NT.

IBM had sold tons of 16-bit IBM PC/AT machines and insisted on a 16-bit operating system.

Hence the divorce, where Microsoft kept Windows and got a bundle of cash ($25 million, if I remember correctly). IBM got OS/2 and an ultra-sweet deal on Windows ($9 a copy, if memory serves).
FWIW that's only true if you don't mind sitting in a coach seat for 2 days. If you want a bed, it's more expensive. And for a 2+ day train ride, you probably want a bed :-)

In the world of Linux distribution, they can have multiple independent repositories. When adding another one, you usually import their PGP key to establish trust. When you install Google Chrome on Linux, you will add another repository that will be responsible for further Google Chrome updates.

In the Android world, multiple app stores exist. There are stores by Amazon, Yandex, Baidu, etc.

If Apple wanted, similar mechanism could be made for iOS too.
You are right but there are other factors too. We've been pushing mediocre students through colleges at an exorbitant price when 30 years ago a lot of these people would have gone into the trades. Supply and demand plays into it domestically too. I agree that immigrants are filling the gap right now. Nature abhors a vacuum.

But in all seriousness, this is a fantastic idea. I'm wondering though if it's 100% of a "personal preference" which platforms go in which categories. For example, I keep in touch with family/friends over Facebook, and I find twitter to be too noisy to truly lose myself in enjoyment.
But in all honesty, I should probably actually _focus_ on spending more time in twitter in my field for networking.

Have the same monitor, it's my third Dell monitor since I bought my 2405fpw back in 2005. I've always gotten excellent performance from them and the 2405 lasted 12 years.

The 4k resolution and scaling can cause issues with some apps as you noted. This is especially true if you use multiple panels with heterogeneous resolutions, connect with displayport and occasionally turn one monitor off. This causes windows to move everything to the other display which is a mess. However after futzing with it for a few days post-purchase I had it all working well enough to deal with, even though I occasionally get slack in an over-maxed window on the smaller display. Btw this program is really useful for smoothing mouse movement between the larger and smaller displays in windows 10: https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse
I don't think it is the professionalization of the industry that is making this culture feel less alive, quite the opposite. A lot of the "fun" of such features, or trivia, of past times is that it reflects the work that went into those projects. Today anyone can code up a small script with a clever name and adore it with funny messages and an edgy readme. The meaning of it all, the hard work, the culture and team behind it, the contrast between being serious and funny, and often the funny part itself is lost. Left is mostly a sort joking cargo cult type culture that might even be a hindrance to people trying to make new achievements that will potentially create new cultures, jokes and all.
Indeed. I would rather take an excellent monitor, keyboard and mouse over a faster machine without them. Sadly this means I am pretty much limited to desktops as finding a laptop with a colour accurate 120Hz+ display with excellent keyboard seems to be impossible unless I look at some gaming laptop monstrosity that weights 5KG and has a 1 hour battery life. If anyone reading this know of a good laptop for development please let me know!
I tried to fix numerous issues with my car and in my apartment by following very clear and detailed YouTube videos.

Unfortunately, it's the little things that usually push me to give up and hire a pro - wrong tools, don't know the tricks to get a tight screw loose, etc.

It's not dissimilar to how many non-technical PHBs watch developers typing away, and figure they can just get a random worker for half-price to copy the same code from a book or website. In reality, it's not the actual code - many times which can just be copied - that makes a good developer worthwhile, it's the years of experience to know what to do when something goes wrong.
