Debian has key distribution system. Every critical password/key/etc. is divided into `n` parts, where `m` parts (obviously m < n) can assemble the data back.

These are used primarily for repository private keys, revocation keys and like.

In this scenario, in case of emergency, secondary level officials can assemble the key (or secret) if something unfortunate occurs to the top level management.

For Debian FTP Archive secret keys, Debian uses 3 out of 5 arrangement, as can be seen in https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys.html. See SSSS holders section.

There are a few differences: employees are invited to the meeting where quarterly financial performance is shared; they have to do the yearly goals; they are invited to the the year end holiday lunch; and they sometimes get a bonus. The last one is contractors are first cut when there are financial hard times.

Many employees skip the financial meeting. Contractors are often ignored when they sneak into the holiday lunch. For most contractors the bonus is the biggest difference, and the courts tend to agree that is not enough and force the contractors to get the bonus as well.

Vuex Pathify – ridiculously simple Vuex setup and wiring
The 20th century considered puns the lowest form of humor. The 21st discovered a lower one: The reference. That is, the bare version of the reference in which one is simply referencing a thing that was funny before, not adding any other spin beyond "hey, wasn't that funny"? Entire movie franchises have been built on this.

No puns. No joke here.

Carv | Android Engineer - Junior | £35k - £55k | London ONSITE | https://www.getcarv.com/pages/careers

In 2016, we broke the sports wearables record on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. We delivered a v1 of Carv in Winter 2017 and have since helped over a thousand people improve how they ski. With a thin and intelligent insert, Carv measures your movement and weight distribution then relays actionable feedback through your earphones in real-time.

You have a passion for the outdoors and have some experience skiing.
You’ve had at least 1 year of experience with Swift or Kotlin and at least 2 years with software. If you have shipped or iterated on at least one app on the Play or App store then that's a bonus!

I think a lot of sites could learn from how they do their newsletter subscription, an non-invasive part of the site rather than a pop up window preventing me to use the site until I close it.
Great so it's just like Uber apart from I also get to have an argument with an aggressive lying driver while captive in the back of his taxi!
I think the primary measure is simply "think about it in advance". The major requirement is just to make sure that multiple people have the necessary admin accesses; this is seldom technically tricky. You just need to take an afternoon to list up all the resources your project has and for each (a) who has access and (b) who has permissions to change the access rights. Then review it occasionally to make sure the list still has enough active members on it to be safe. It's also a useful document to have around so that when somebody says "who do I need to talk to to get access to our foo servers" you know the answer.
> Although I don't have access to any data, I think there might be a subset of casual users who would prefer the screen to do nothing when touched.

+1!

I loved my original non-touch Kindle. Newer paperwhite is nice, but touch screen is a disadvantage for me. I rarely interact with it and older Kindle with buttons was perfectly fine for those tasks. Yet it sucks when pages are scrolled or next is selected if I accidentally touch/hold screen in a wrong way.

I’m seriously considering spending extra $$$ to getter expensive version purely to get away from touch screen. But I’m worried that it wouldn’t allow me to lock the screen while reading with hardware button :(
If we're talking about significance though...

Dr. Martin Luther King wrote and delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech more than fifty years ago. When he obtained copyright protection on the speech in 1963... the copyright on the “I Have a Dream” speech will not expire until the end of 2058. Because the Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. and its affili- ates have closely guarded the speech in a copyright enforcement and li- censing sense, the public seldom sees more than snippets of one of the most highly regarded speeches in history.

https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/iplj/vol25/iss4/2/

And there are many more examples like this. Copyright was supposed to foster creativity and the distribution of knowledge. Know it's used to stifle competition, and to protect corporate interests.
I agree with the authors argument. The physical buttons is why I still haven't upgraded my Kindle 4. But one interface is unlikely to be the best fit for everybody.

Older gadgets and programs exposed more settings - either through UI and access to the system files. Many cheap phones even had themes - something now impossible without root on the Android phones. The power users could improve productivity or appearance. It often came at the cost of less polished design for some settings and higher UI complexity.

My ideal next Kindle would come with hardware buttons and touch screen controls that have good defaults for the average user and can be configured.
I think Android fans like the idea of total control more than the actual application of it.

Most of what I've seen are people who just change the system font.

I know there are some people out there who are doing really cool things, but they are in the minority. The majority of the fanboys are people who parrot the line but instead don't do anything "the other side" doesn't do.

I'm familiar with my ecosystem of choice, I prefer its conventions, but if you like the other, it's cool. Of course, I'm a software developer, so I have all the control I want.

I also have devices from both ecosystems, so there's that as well.
Venezuela Offers India Crude Oil on 30% Discount, If It Agrees to Pay in Petro
The landlord can try. But when you introduce land tax and all those vacant apartments and lots come to market suddenly, I'd wish him luck with succeeding to shift the tax burden onto renters.

It's known that land tax together with similar antimonopoly taxes can't be shifted. What's nice is that not only this type of tax doesn't slow down the market, but on the contrary makes it more effective. Essentially without rent capture (antimonopoly tax) there is an open sink in the economy, so no matter how hard people work, all this value exits out of the economy, mostly in form of parked money in real estate.

As George predicted, all technological progress will just yield higher real estate prices and everybody will be working even harder than before.

False advertising laws?
A few hundred extra dollars for something you use many hours per day for multiple critical tasks is hard for me to nitpick about, so I think whatever people like to use (evidenced by what they are buying) shows what provides them the most value.

Unit sales don't say anything in my opinion, other than people who can't afford seem to be going with Android. If you want to make a statement about which user experience is preferable for most people, then the high end phones, which are the phones being chosen out of preference, is the data you want.
didn't allow tab-completion

What does this mean? I didn't know there was any other kind!

I don't know if it's slower, I haven't used zsh in a while, but the completion support for git (e.g. branches) is pretty fast for me.

SEEKING WORK - remote (United States based)

Have you gotten your company past the first stage or two to where it's profitable? Have you been thinking about starting to collect data and optimize? Then let's discuss!

I will instrument your software to produce the necessary metrics and data points, store them, analyze them, view them on dashboards, and best of all: optimize and grow! Both now and down the road.

Another common scenario I can help you with: have you created a monster Excel spreadsheet fed by your database? I can replace it with dashboards that show the same information in a much more useful format so that you won't have to squint at that spreadsheet anymore!

TLDR: C was close-to-the-metal on the PDP-11 but since then hardware has become more complex while exposing the same abstraction to the C programmer. That means that hardware features such as speculative execution and L1/L2 caching are invisible to the programmer. This was the cause of Spectre and Meltdown and it forces a lot of complexity into the compiler. GPUs achieve high performance in part because their programming model goes beyond C. Processors would be able to evolve if they weren't hamstrung by having to support C.

Defense MicroElectronics Activity (DMEA) | Electronics Engineer, Embedded Hardware Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer | Full-time | Sacramento, CA | Onsite | $70 - $120k

Who: A Department of Defense (DoD) field activity that has been operating since 1997. Small and engineer-centric: ~200 employees of which ~180 are engineer/scientist.

What: Provide solutions to other US Government agencies and allies. Some tasks are engineering brand-new products and some tasks are re-engineering devices to keep legacy systems running. We do not compete with private industry but regularly work side-by-side with industry to get stuff done. We also have the only semiconductor foundry (90nm) still operational within the federal government.

Why: US Government agencies sometimes want products built that are so technologically risky or low-volume that private industry does not want to do them. Wes step in to fill the gap.

Where: Sacramento, CA -- California's fourth largest metro area. Home to two major state universities (CSU-Sacramento and UC-Davis). The farm-to-fork (and regular) capital of California.

Benefits: We are federal employees and receive federal benefits (google "opm benefits" for more info). Time off starts at 36 days/year (13 vacation + 13 sick + 10 federal holidays) and grows to 49 days/year over time (26 + 13 + 10). We have flexible schedules and most of us work a "9-to-5.” Hiring is for GS-11/12/13 engineers (google “gs pay scale 2018” and look at the Sacramento locality).

==Interview==

Must be a US citizen. Must be able to achieve and maintain a security clearance.

This can be expensive and time-consuming in the US, at least.

I see no reason why a legal entity is needed here. Just set it up, keep all your credentials in a place that's accessible in a contingency, and move on with life.
The development is still continuing, there are 10+ contributors with write access to all repositories in the organization.
The only missing bit is permissions to change/add new team members to the organization.

There is nothing to take over, it would just be nice to not have to move the repository and notify the 700+ github forks of our repository to change the upstream.

Could be both. I have some Irish ancestors, too, and in the same subtree as the Scots.

I have a reverse psychology detector, though, so if you forbid something in an attempt to get me to do it, I'm then more likely to be stubbornly obedient in whatever way I have determined would punish you most for attempting to deceive me.

Nagging me about something I was already planning to do is the worst, though, because that means I have to delay doing it until it is apparent I'm not doing it just because you told me to.
