Many of the forms are scraped from EDGAR anyway, so if you really need a standard contract you can usually find an exemplar. Typical startup docs can be had from Series Seed, NVCA, Clerky or one of the many marketing sites like cooleygo. I wish there was a more focused and well-funded effort by the big firms to agree on standard forms, and to annotate them. But people who have tried can tell you it is a Sisyphean task to actually make this happen.
That's currently a gap for small boards. The ALIX boards have been the x86/32 bit answer for a while: https://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm

I haven't seen a 64 bit solution that stayed relevant yet. Intel's Edison was the big contender, but has since died[1].

Gutting an ASUS Chromebox is a decent and cheap interim solution. They are well built, reliable, available, and cheap. Basically a subsidized Intel NUC.

It sounds like you're looking for Intel's Atom or Edison line.

> Capitalism is what you get when a) you have private property, b) freedom to trade property, goods, and services (labor)

I disagree.
We (sort-of) have your a) and b) and capitalism now but the implication part "what you get" is not obvious.

Do you have sources that show a consensus on this implication ?
Swing is the perfect example that such approach simply doesn't work.

At the bare minimum, you need to use the native widgets on each OS.

It's baffling to me that Flutter didn't even learn this lesson from 20 years of agony with Swing.
Looking Back: What Was Happening Ten Years Ago? – Linux Journal
If you worked with RPi and want more computation power, you might consider Asus Tinkerboard.

It’s not on the same level with this new embedded Ryzen. But the tinkerboard is very compatible with the Pi, same form factor, same pinout, even the DSI displays are compatible.

And it’s much faster compared to RPi, both CPU, networks, and especially the GPU.
In contrast, businesses can buy programming talent from anywhere in the world that gets Internet access. It's inevitably going to be competitive.

That the last-mile costs are so extreme that utilities must be monopolies is not obvious either. We've built out the last mile in the U.S. many times over for many things, and where we've allowed it (as opposed to preempting it a priori) we've had competition (e.g., cable). Even where we don't have direct competition, we do have indirect competition where consumers can vote with their feet (e.g., power rates vary regionally).
In the U.K. there’s such concern over being distracted while driving that it’s illegal to touch a smartphone while driving even if you’re just using google maps. Not sure a giant touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard would be any better.

What would be cool would be a long thin OLED screen where the instrumentation normally goes. And physical controls with a Taptic-style feedback mechanism for navigating dynamic interfaces.

This would allow for a more fluid, updateable UI while still keeping important info in the eyeline.

More expensive than just slapping an off-the-shelf LCD panel wherever it’ll fit I guess...
I would like to add, if the vehicles entirely depend on their AI, then there should be at least 3 or 4 compute nodes and a voting system. Should a node fail or have false information, the other nodes should override.

The default sans-serif font in Firefox for Mac is Helvetica, but the default font for macOS is San Francisco. If you want to have your page use a system-looking font, particularly if you're building an Electron app like Slack, you might want to get past the browser defaults and instead use the system defaults.

I used macOS fonts in my example, but this applies to every platform.
Ditto Chrome and uBO.

One thing that is holding me back in numpy is not knowing the runtime complexity of operations—of course I can profile code, but I should have better awareness when writing code in the first place.

Acquisitions take time. And money. If you're running out of both, the risk of undertaking a long and expensive process, that may result is nothing is risky, and in some cases illegal (taking on debt [legal fees on terms] that you can't reasonably pay = trading while insolvent).

I'm not suggesting at all that in this instance the company was in such a state, but often I've seen founders run it right to the line believing things will turn around, and they don't. At that point, there is no reasonable way to sell the assets or ownership of the company easily.
Viasat CEO Talks New Satellite Internet Service and SpaceX
I imagine most of it will boil down to this:

Follow OWASP, encrypt in motion and at rest, use key-manager appliance, implement access logging and store separate from systems, backups of data, define lifetime of data, physical controls to data storage facilities, access controls in system, manage multi-tenancy as the situation requires, sensible password policies / multi-factor authentication, background checks on employees, train staff on security, perform regular scans, restrict ports, intrusion detection system, penetration testing, have plans for business continuity and disaster recovery and practice implementing them, be aware when third party libraries are being used and have a policy for applying software/os patches.
And this is also often the case even if your money comes through Patreon or similar services rather than YouTube ads themselves. On that site, about 1% of the audience rakes in the cash, then a large portion of the rest basically makes enough for beer money every now and then (if they're lucky).

Still, it's not surprising. Unfortunately, almost any artistic (or sporting) field has the same issue as YouTube and co here, it's hugely profitable for the small percentage that break out to become superstars, and then quickly becomes very unprofitable for the millions with less luck/timing/talent/whatever.

Can anything be done there? Eh, probably not. At the end of the day, the idea of running a YouTube channel as your full time job is just so attractive to so many people that competition is almost always going to be sky high, and with the formula for success being pretty random in general, I suspect it'll always be a field where supply heavily outstrips demand.

There are examples that more severely show the limits of Popperian falsification. Such an example: Godel's incompleteness theorems are unfalsifiable. E.g. the second theorem can be proved in primitive recursive arithmetic, which means that its falsification would demonstrate the inconsistency of the theories that it applies to, but this is an even stronger result than it claimed.

So it's not even the case that empirical evidence is the ideal standard of evidence that we deviate from due to practical considerations. It is limited, period. Scientism is a philosophical sickness.
A similar experiment (but to only detect the effect of altitude, not to measure it) was done about 12 years ago, described here: http://www.leapsecond.com/great2005/

What does this mean for existing Ring customers? Considering the privacy implications and the fact that Amazon can/will do a lot more with this data than Ring did, is there a way for Ring customers to opt-out of future integration into the Amazon ecosystem?

I imagine there are a decent chunk of Ring customers who would have not purchased the device had it been sold by Amazon in the first place.
Some people may find that a valuable trade-off, because the alternative would be to permit their customers to demand that they rewrite their logs at any time. I, personally, believe that logs should be fundamentally append-only, and thus will not be doing business with EU subjects (since the GDPR requires that I delete records from my logs on demand).

Facebook's servers are computers, not people.

A human might read that book and be unable to control how they react to that information (maybe you might look at your brother differently if you knew what he wrote).

In contrast, a computer could read the book, do a bunch of processing on it, run it through a few neural nets, check your brother's privacy settings, see that the book is marked as private, then erase all its "memories" of the book from existence; the result being absolutely no different from if it had never "read" the book at all.

So even if it were true that "Facebook will run face recognition on the photo regardless", that would be irrelevant as long as it does nothing with the information obtained via that algorithm. And if you don't trust Facebook to honor your privacy setting and do nothing with the information, you shouldn't trust them to not run the facial recognition algorithm in the first place.
I work for Booking.com. Amazon entered the hotel reservation business in early 2015 with Amazon Destinations, and then inexplicably shut it down a few months later[1].

At the time there was the expectation that they'd drop commissions to the floor and compete on ultra-thin margins, and there's certainly a lot of room for that in the travel industry.

But they didn't, and then just left within a few months. Weird.

1. https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/14/amazon-shuts-down-its-hote...
I find it really irritating when project like this decide to just shut down without any alternative. Why not give your users some options? After all, your users are the people who generated all of the free content for your site. It's the least you can do.

For example, instead of shutting down, you could open source it, or at least allow people to download and host their own mirror.

If you aren't willing to do that, then why not offer some kind of paid option or donation option?

I get it. Their dream was for the site to be free and ad supported. But if their hosting costs are that high, at least give people the option of pitching in! It would take 5 minutes to post a paypal link or a bitcoin link. But nope, they haven't even done that.

Ugh. So irritating.
Or they look at the tradeoff of:

1. I could dive into the code, find the bug, submit the report and hope the developer accepts the patch. Hopefully this bug isn't there because it is required by some other feature the developer actually cares about.

2. That module wasn't doing that much, I can just redo it by hand and dump the dependency.

3. I could hunt around for a different module that does basically the same thing and use it instead. This might be necessary if the module is doing a lot of work, like an ASN.1 parser or something.
The same psychological pricing cues also apply to businesses. After all - there's people making the purchase decisions and they're affected by this as much as anyone.
> Dart just pivoted language styles 7 years after being in stable?

Yes, we are migrating to a new type system, previously called "strong mode". This is the main reason for the major version number bump to Dart 2.0.

> So all old Dart code won't work now?

Most Dart code works the same as it did before. A significant but relatively small amount will need a little love and migration to fix type errors. These are usually straightforward fixed.

We have a lot of experience migrating code like this (Google's internal corpus of Dart code is now using the new type system). If you are other users run into problems, we are happy to help.

Most external Dart users have already migrated their code to strong mode over the past year or two. It went as smoothly as you could hope and most of the feedback we got was really positive.

For me, one of the main pieces of evidence in favor of moving Dart from optional types to the new static type system was how easy this migration was (relatively speaking). I'd claimed years ago that most Dart users already wrote in a fairly static style, and this helped confirm that.

> This seems much worse than the Python 2 - Python 3 jump.

Oh, heavens no. Most of the pain in Python as I understand it is around strings. Between 2 and 3, Python changed the meaning and runtime behavior of an existing very commonly used type. That's basically the hardest possible change to do (though I understand why they made that change).

Dart's migration is more annoyingly in your face because it's tightening the static type system. Existing code may now have type errors and you have to fix them before the code can be compiled.

But on the other hand, the type system will basically tell you all the code you need to fix to complete the migration without having to run anything. There are few scary migration bugs hiding in your code that you won't discover until much later. Once your error window is empty, you're almost completely done.

And, in return, you get a much tighter static type system — a sound one, unlike, say, TypeScript — that finds more mistakes in your code than the old one did.
While I have to say I wholly disagree with your viewpoint on the NRA, I don't really disagree with your thesis, which makes me wonder how I'm "part of the problem".

I am not a dog person but I know plenty of people who feel the same way. We should be doing more to support emotional support animals in general to help those afflicted. Mental health is something we as a society in America should be trying a lot of things to improve.

It's a nice symbol, but not nearly enough emphasis is being put on these values (and how to defend them, in work day practice) as part of the curriculum.

Undergrad engineering culture elevates the ring into a mythical embodiment of the deliverance that is graduating. Then, naturally, the moment you have it on your pinky, it's a status symbol – you're 23 now, old enough to act real casual about it, but man, shit feels like you're 13 and just emptied a can of Axe spray on yourself. The noble humility is very shortlived, in my experience.

Somehow those in medicine seem to be doing a bit better, with their Hippocratic oath. Maybe it's a maturity thing. But yeah, I think actually teaching these kinds of practical ethics more would have a bigger effect.
Direct3D isn't the reason why OSX and Linux are second class citizens for AAA publishers. If those platforms had higher gaming market share publishers would do the work, but as it stands Steam is at 98.3% Windows users, 1.31% Mac users and 0.25% Linux users (http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/). Linux has an extremely disproportionate amount of work involved for the user base, and Mac OS X is questionable for most titles. The Linux gaming audience is largely consists of tech people that aren't really gamers, but buy games to support Linux gaming, effectively for political reasons, this isn't a sustainable market (Humble Bundle helped indies briefly but the support has faded). Mac OS gaming is largely casual users that once again, aren't really gamers, and it has less to do with Mac's software stack (vulkan vs. metal vs. dx is irrelevant) and more with Mac hardware having underpowered GPUs for AAA games. PS4 and Switch don't support Direct3D, and plenty of big publishers port titles that make sense to mobile as well (neither major mobile platform supports Direct3D).

On my machine the "pretty" underlines are conspicuously uglier than the standard ones. This kind of thing is why I hesitate to re-implement standard browser behavior for the sake of improvement.

Don't think of it as a call for a quote, think of it as an initial sales contact. An unsolicited inbound phone inquiry is about the strongest possible lead you can possibly get. The potential customer typically won't expect you to provide a full quote on the spot, but will expect to have a brief conversation and either a follow-up email with pricing details or a follow-up formal sales/demo call scheduled.

In terms of pricing/value, you should already have estimates of value for different customer sizes/use-cases and put together prices based on those estimates. On the call, it's your job to learn as much as you can about their problem so that you can determine how best to solve it with the products you offer and where it falls on your pricing scale.

Don't do on-prem unless they pay you a boat-load more and SaaS isn't an option they're willing to consider. It's way more of a headache.

NDAs are usually fine, but better to pay a lawyer a couple bucks to throw together one for you and try and use that one all the time rather than having to review a bunch of different ones coming from other companies.

Travel is case-by-case. Definitely not necessary for just a quote, and not strictly necessary for sales if your video demos/sales calls are on point, especially if your customers are tech-inclined.
I'm curious what Utopia you live in that has network coverage reliable enough in subway tunnels or on trains going through rural communities to make teleconferencing from mass transit a tractable solution. ;)

(No, but more seriously: I'm a bit envious that this is working for your teams. It's completely impractical in the East Coast US cities I've frequented).
Right, but the point is that you KNOW the country your bridge or tunnel is going to be used in, because you build it there. If I build a web app and deploy it on a server in California, it can immediately be used by people in almost any country in the world.

Is it my responsibility to follow the censorship rules from China on my webapp in California? Is it my responsibility to know all the regulations on web apps from Sri Lanka?

Building software with care and professionalism is unrelated to understanding all the rules in place all around the world.
I don't think it's just that.

I have complete freedom to use any cloud solution in my organization, but I almost always choose AWS. Mostly it's a seal of basic quality. I know it had documentation, I know it has uptime, and I know it has packages for any environment I want to use it in.

I've had mixed experiences with less established SaaS, and mixed experiences means more dev time on average.

For a one-off shipment what you want is a freight forwarder. They will arrange the truck pickup at origin, rail transport, and truck transport to offload at destination. Truck transport at destination will need to be customized because you probably need a self-unloading trailer that can set it down on the ground, not a regular truck such as if it were going to another container yard.

You might have difficulty shipping a standard 20 or 40' container by rail within the US unless it has a standard set of ownership markings on it.
