This is a heavily unionized industry (which IMO is insane considering how much visibility and direct control the public has into how schools are run and how much reputation matters in that industry). Pay in a school system is very seniority dependent. If you put up with BS and do an ok job strategically job hopping you can put in your last decade or two in a rich district and retire with some very nice benefits. It's not attracting/retaining talent that is the issue. People don't go into teaching because they like the money and see themselves pivoting into management. It's talent that keeps it's mouth shut and does what it's told no matter how stupid because it needs to play the system without rocking the boat in order to win the favor of the people who control how quickly their resume builds that's the problem. Just look at the teacher who was arrested a week ago for questioning the superintendent at a school board meeting. You don't order someone arrested for that unless you're a senior person in a culture where seniority = unquestioned authority.

Industry culture that obstructs identifying and utilizing talent is probably a more concise way to describe the problem as I see it.
I had a discussion with my mother regarding surveillance and privacy and how they relate to safety. I feel like she understands that surveillance when used in a nefarious manner can be detrimental to individual freedoms, but is pro surveillance regardless. This is because she believes that the benefits of keeping others safe outweighs the potential for misuse.

How can I help her understand why people fight for privacy?

Sure, there's a pressure for performance figures that makes hardware makers cut various corners, including security. Same with software.

Reality is always about compromises and tradeoffs. Now we see how the balance point is being pushed back closer to the pole of "security". A new equilibrium will eventually appear.

(You can see the very same process in e.g. encryption algorithms: tradeoffs between performance and security, and phasing out of solutions that yielded either to finding of logical flaws or increases in available computing power.)

Small advice in general, as someone who very often fail to convince people, then leave, then happens to be right in the end but withouth being there anymore to enjoy it.

Convincing people is a very different matter from proving that you’re right. Those kind of debates often happen because there isn’t a rigourous mathmetical proof that can invalidate the decision, so you’ll have to resort to different arguments than purely logical ones. Eg : in your case, saying « our product isn’t emitting anything ressembling a token, so ICO doesn’t make sense » should be enough theoretically, but it probably won’t ( they’ll probably mention other ICO with product like yours).

So, you have to think about the personal motivations of every people you’re trying to convince, sincerely and honestly understand them. Then try to find a different answer than an ICO for each of those motivations.

Good luck though, because whenever rationality is lost, things becomes emotional then ugly.

Dropbox has always been a successful company with great mindshare. While not quite a household name, if you worked there and told your family there's a chance they would know what the company is (how many of you can do that?). Yet still, dropbox was founded in 2007. It's been over 10 years to reach IPO. Just a friendly message to any engineers out of school who see the tempting offer to work at a small fast moving startup, you may get the payout like dropbox is about to, but you might have to wait a decade.

That's by design and standard iOS behaviour (it has been there for years). Tapping anywhere on the system toolbar (i.e. where the clock, wifi, signal strength indicators are) brings the main scrollable view to its "topmost" position.

There are quite a few red flags in the story, nevermind the ICO.

- Pitching before building

- Delaying release for more development

- "Tremendous growth" but no one willing to put up $$

- An investor taking the lazy approach to investing (requiring others invest first). This is so common and so lazy and not confidence inspiring.

The takeaway I got was that the author more or less wants the conversation about regulation of AI to be less of a top-down approach to a broad reaching and loosely defined topic. The scenario of a, "grey goo" apocalypse verses, say, a bank hiding otherwise discriminatory lending practices behind a neural network black-box, are radically different in terms of plausibility and likelihood. Given the esoteric nature of the topic it's all too easy to see where this is headed when it comes to representative governance. Knee-jerk legislative umbrellas based on the comments of eccentric megalomaniacs made to the news media is a fool's errand, and there's a hell of a lot of foolish people out there.

You may want to read about software defined radio. It's quite possible that it's not even extra circuitry going unused. As the others say, it's so small the die area savings isn't even worth making a different variant of the chip.

I tried using Dropbox as an alternative to Google Drive. However, just like the other alternative cloud providers it was quite slow.

True, but it seems like wishful thinking for Internet users to reasonably assess the dangers of trusting the 'Cloud' with private data.

Still, I think the most important breaches of privacy are not necessarily in decoding the messages themselves, but rather everything from location data to contact lists including time and number of communications these apps have access to by default.

You can't. Most people will choose safety over freedom every single time.
On the one hand, langsec specifically handles these problems. A program for searching through a file will produce the same results whether it runs in a tenth of a second or ten seconds, and as such doesn't need to - in langsec, shouldn't be able to - access the time. That's what langsec is. It can even identify hazards like the SharedArrayBuffer high-res timers that compare the execution speed of different programs by communicating between processes; most programs shouldn't care which thread finished first, so that information shouldn't be available! And so we build formalisms for computing that don't make that information available to the program.

On the other hand, that's probably infeasible for the real world. Humans care about time too much for it to be declared off-limits to many programs. Similarly with things like communicating processes. These attacks are so fundamental that it'd be effectively impossible to build a program that didn't throw up an impenetrable wall of critical langsec violations.

So I'm not sure. The langsec framework does offer a solution. It might just be that, in the same way that things like haskell offer their solutions, it's too difficult for the real world to apply it.

> Usually MDMA has the backlash of lowering the amount of serotonin release in your brain the days after you take it, which makes you feel down. The so-called tuesday blues

Usually MDMA has absolutely no observable backlash (it may still harm your brain though, even if you don't feel it, I don't know if it will or not) if you don't take it more often than once in 3 months (or 1 month if you insist, but absolutely never more often), avoid taking too much of it, take enough piracetam, magnesium and antioxidants (acetyl-l-carnitine, acetyl-l-cysteine, vitamins E and C, lipoic acid, CoQ10, green tea extract, grape seed extract etc) before, during and after the MDMA trip, take L-tryptophan+piracetam after the trip, smoke some weed (but don't do it in advance - this can cause a panic attack and nausea), drink enough water, sleep well and take L-tryptophan+piracetam again when you get up. What will follow is usually going to be a rather pleasant state called "afterglow". Taking emoxypine, piracetam, magnesium and St. John's wort during the days after to actually restore the receptors can also be a good idea. I have also heard eating some psilocybin shrooms can prevent MDMA hangover too but I doubt combining psychedelics is a good idea for everybody.

DISCLAIMER: The above is a piece of theoretical knowledge provided for harm-reduction purposes only and not even proven scientifically (I'd be glad if the researchers could consider checking it). Use it at your own risk. Don't take what is not legal in your country. I don't recommend taking MDMA without a prescription though I do recommend to consider harm-reduction measures if you decide to take it. Anyway, make sure you are not allergic to any of the substances you are going to take, are not taking any drugs that may interact with them and don't have any other contraindications.
I think the issue with music theory is its actually an after thought. A bunch of guidelines to reproduce something that is often first developed by simply pleasing subjective taste. Example: Tonal harmony didn't really lend itself to 'blues' Idom7-IVdom7-Vdom7 but the later jazz harmony was developed to accommodate it.
It's not a popular analogy but (for me) it's similar (though clearly not the same) to saying the same thing for alcoholism. I'd still have kids but I'd make sure they were aware of the facts - and the main thing I'd let them know is that they did have control over how the acted if not - according to the scenario - how they felt.

A related question would be - would you have kids if under the same scenario conditions - there was a 100% chance they'd drop dead at age 10? Or 5? That potential child has a chance at life and everything wonderful and terrible it entails but not in any way that you conceive it. You'd think it horrible but maybe they'd feel grateful for the chance. Maybe they'll be the first 10 year old to cure cancer.

It's not the same thing but for it gets at the spirit of it. I mean, my child will have different problems then me. Heck, they might not even view things that I see as problems as problems. It's still my responsibility to raise them to live the best life possible as I see it and then to give them the chance to do that.

> the end of a period characterized, and not incorrectly, by the opinion that a safe programming language guarantees...

I don't think that there was ever such a period. Provable correctness always had the caveat of highly idealized assumptions, and we've known from the start that hardware vulnerabilities such as timing attacks, rowhammer, gamma rays, and power loss can undermine those assumptions.
For some reason having the (non business) Skype is not hard to sell in a big "old school" enterprise, because it's microsoft.

I'd have a much harder time selling Discord because of how they market themselves. They could make "discord for business" that is literally the same app and have great success.

Other than that my only complaint is that it's a bit electron-y.
Wow didn't realize it was the first...not sure if that's more depressing than exciting tbh!
AM has a much longer wavelength. AM is super simple. It is Amplitude modulation. You take a signal and multiply it by a sinewave. The issue is you need a bigger antenna, and probably need to block noise better since AM has lot of issues with noise.

What industry are you currently working in? If you have accrued good domain knowledge, then you might have an edge.

Learn programming on the side (self learning, bootcamps, Coursera etc etc) and (Python probably) and aim for software jobs in the that industry based on your domain knowledge. Someone might be willing to offer a junior programmer role, allowing you to learn on the job? Or even your current employer might let you transition to their internal IT etc?

Please try to leverage what you have, instead of starting from zero. Hope this helps. Best.

Security did not appear a feature worth spending money on in many cases.

As devices become more powerful and more connected, thus increasing the attack surface and the potential losses form them being cracked, the cost-based analysis will start to prioritize security more.

The tools for writing dramatically less brittle code are there, but there's the cost of switching. It needs to become lower than the potential losses. And with the current state of the industry, the losses and lawsuits are surely coming. Remember what it took to make an average e-commerce website become reasonably secure.

Here's an opposing view, from someone a little older and maybe a little wiser. In the big scheme of things, you're not that important. Your company is also not that important, and whether or not your company chooses to adopt this coin is not that important. If it's a "fraud" by your definition, then many, many other coins (and companies, for that matter) are also fraudulent, and it's not a very important fraud, so don't worry so much about saving the world from it. If you have any interest in working on blockchain technology, go with the flow. Leverage what skills and advantages you have in your life, don't burn bridges, and especially try to keep from burning your bridges because of ego issues. Remember, you're not that important. But you are important enough to do what you enjoy, important enough to have people in your life and career who look out for you, and important enough that every single day you learn something or work on something that progresses your ambition in some way. Maybe this coin offering can be a part of that and maybe not, but the answer is more likely to be found within your own psychology than the details of this particular technological/business crossroads.
