Consider this from the perspective of the person in charge of packaging. They propose a change requiring costly re-tooling. It also changes the product's appearance and user's experience.

What is the benefit to this cost and this risk? Could the decrease in packaging give advantage to a competitor? If you deploy the marketing dollars to promote this trend, could a competitor piggyback on that by making the switch but not incurring the associated marketing costs? If they can't answer these questions--which itself costs time and money--the proposal is D.O.A.

Unveil is programmatic so the developer can restrict the software to only perform expected behaviors. Like the earlier pledge(2) call OpenBSD introduced a few versions ago. A piece of software may have far more access to the filesystem than is needed. So it can be restricted to the handful of directories or files that it actually needs during execution. And it can progressively relinquish access as it runs and end up in a state where it can't access the filesystem at all.
I would settle for an ultraportable USB-attached reader device that scanned microfilm/microfiche, with a draft mode that lets me preview a low resolution real-time display via the USB on an app on the laptop to position the film/fiche, and a high resolution mode for scanning into the app.

I can understand the film/fiche writing machines being hideously expensive, but I have yet to find a reader that is built for the XXI century digital-oriented demographic. Of the readers built recently, they're all expensive, and are designed with firmware, instead of a design orientation of dumb manipulable hardware (preferably with open documentation) driven by modifiable software.

Well, there is a rather famous case of a rocketeer who basically went to court for asking "we are instructed to disregard any launch instruction if we believe that the person issuing the instruction isn't of sound mind - but how can you believe that a person who has just ordered an extermination of an entire country and millions of people, and potentially a full destruction of Earth, to be of sound mind"?

I disagree. There are pieces of technology that I want to try but don't want to fork up the cash for. I'm not sure if I'll actually use them or if they're worth the price.

VR, AR, 3D printers - basically anything at the cutting edge of the tech experience would be a good candidate. I can't justify spending $1,000 on a VR rig. But I don't mind paying a few dollars every month just to try the thing out.
> The outcome is racist but there's no intent to be racist.

Then why do college admissions factor in race at all?

> Their grades and scores are STELLAR!

But the complaint is that their grades and scores aren't stellar. That lower grades and scores are being chosen over higher grades and scores based apparently on race.

> What's going to happen to campus social life if half the class has a history of not being social at all?

Once again, the complaint is that people with equal or better extracurricular activities and better grades are being passed over based on race.

> No one is out to discriminate against asian people, their applications are just very problematic at scale.

But we know this isn't true. We know that college admins have discriminated before.

What is the matter with you? I said in the media, but first gave current personal testimony.

Attitudes like that are much less tolerated in public discourse nowadays, but people very much do hold such oppinions and will express them in private. Most of the people saying this in public media a few decades ago are still alive and still hold these views, but just have less of a platform. I will say again - I have heard people say things like that myself.

Your accusation of lying was wholly uncalled for and manifestly untrue. The fact that you’re doubling Down on it is frankly pretty shocking.
Another big highlight of the game was their (for the time and platform) pretty good RCS modeling of ownship against various threats. Your movements against the threat would change the threat's ability to see you. Opening weapons bay doors caused your RCS to spike.

Thanks for sharing! I'm a part of support department. We're a small startup so we don't get so much tickets, so I and other developers sometimes answer them. Usually I really forget how important and unique the whole support thing. In many cases I have any problems with an app i delete it and forget. And these people contacting you because they care. So one should take this chance and turn user into loyal customer.
Think of these headers not so much as security. Just because a site doesn't have this or other headers doesn't make it any less secure. The headers are better described as fine-tuned access-control policies. You want to be able to send your users notifications on your site? Well great, now any ads on your site have the same ability. These headers allow you to control that. The primary site has features x,y, and z - but any ads or iframes don't have any features.

> distributing untrustworthy and insecure code.

So this isn't really how things are, we didn't have the ability to fine-tune these access control features before. Either you accepted a website as a whole to give you notifications or not. On the client side it still appears the same, but on the server side they can limit which scripts/domains actually get those permissions.
Surely this header should be an allow list, not a block list? Disable features from iframes etc. until permitted, if the header's present, so that you never end up with unexpected activity from external sources.

But it is the companies creating positive PR by getting ahead of expected pressure.

I think what the earlier poster was talking about is using the relationship the other way around: the public using their relationship with the company to say "I could always vote with my feet/money you know, you might want to consider...".

It amounts to the same thing in the end (the pressure they are trying to stay ahead of is created by governments reacting to social change and environmental issues) but the earlier post was talking about more direct action. The more direct route can be quicker, but it requires more effort (well, some effort from more of the public) to be truly effective.

Toggle-Switch Guidelines
The joy of Perl (1998)
That's quite an interesting project.

I've recently discovered the OKI 78SR. It handles about 1.5A of power at 5V and accepts a very wide input range from 7 to 36 V and is easy to hook up. Since I have a lot of 24V supplies it's very ideal for my use cases.

Sadly, I can't see if there are any images but for any sort of "universal" power input I would consider several factors to be important;

- Isolation; The power charger should isolate input and output as much as possible, IIRC a common rule of thumb is to ensure that the device can handle a 1kV voltage without the output going above specification voltage

- Noise; Switch mode regulators like the 78SR produce a lot of line noise. I imagine a device like this won't be silent either. In some cases it means no reception of wifi or mobile during charging, worst case you get the FCC or legal equivalent in your country knocking at the door (happened once to me, never buy cheap long-range wifi routers from china)

- Protection circuits; A charger should protect against shorts and overloads or overcharging (I had a wall charger once that was able to detect phones or battery banks overcharging their cells and switch them off while being able to also run basically all normal devices like Portable Harddrives). Protection should also extend to grounding everything properly to protect the users.

- Cost; all of the above must be cheap and durable. Nobody wants chargers that die after 6 months or costs 60$. Worse if it's both.

Building and designing chargers or power supplies is hard because you have to deal with any of the above (or in some circumstances with none of them depending on target market).

> You do not want regulations forced on you, that is bad for the bottom line.

Also, self regulation can be safer in terms of come-back.

Where under an external regulatory pressure a misstep might result in some form of fine or at least a public outing. With self regulation many things can be more easily wrapped up with "oops, butter fingers! sorry, won't happen again" and all that might be more readily kept internal rather that having some form of issue reporting requirement enforced by the regulations.
Makes sense .. I would second what you said.
> It seems getting into America's most prestigious institution on merit is incredibly unlikely, compared to if you happened to have rich relatives.

It's mostly prestigious for business. Not saying it's right, but business is almost entirely who you know. The allure of Harvard is networking and name recognition. For tech, you can make amazing contacts at CMU, CalTech, MIT, etc and there systems are at least partially more of a meritocracy.

>Athletes I guess are a special American thing where universities are involved.

While it might be a raw deal for basketball or football where there is a ton of revenue, this is amazing for athletes of less popular sports like swimming, track and field, softball, etc. Also, athletics give people an outlet. It's at least partially why people walk on with no scholarship.

> You can't work your way out of poverty over two generations. If anything is the American Dream (arguably there's more people outside of America who have one of these, but I digress), it's being able to see your kids succeed. But they want 1st gen immigrants according to the article.

Granted this was a few years back, but parents were 1st gen from an Eastern European country. It helped me in the admissions process at a top tech school.

>Do they have a drop-down for ethnicity?

Yes, but pretty vague (e.g; White, Pacific Islander, Asian, etc). I wrote about my parents in my admission essay. I honestly think it helped me get into the school I wanted to go to. I'm not disagreeing the system is shitty, but where you go to school isn't as important as building your network in the US. The school on my resume may have gotten me some first interviews but the people I met at jobs have gotten me every other one. I'm not a super social person, so I never liked playing this game, but people liking you is far more important than what you actually know or where you went to school most of the time.
When hiring, I’d eagerly interview the design-build-fly candidate, and immediately reject candidates with 6-12 extracurriculars. You want problem-solvers with strong interests, follow-through, and real teamwork. Not superficial resume padders.

"What's going to happen to campus social life if half the class has a history of not being social at all?"

Sorry but what makes you think students with stellar grades have no social life? My memory of my four years at an "elite" NYC high school is that the students with the best grades (I was not even close) were just as social as the rest of us and participated in plenty of after school clubs and whatnot (more than I did).

"Who's going into investment banking to pull down big bonuses 10 years from now?"

Ironically that is a career path with a reputation for attracting anti-social psycopaths (but maybe this is a myth -- after all, Harvard admissions committees are there to find the applicants who proved their pro-social personalities by participating in exactly the sort of extracurriculars Harvard is looking for).

"No one is out to discriminate against asian people, their applications are just very problematic at scale."

Interesting. Obviously this is challenging from a power and energy density point of view but I suspect the play is likely to be in being able to land planes at airports very close in to major cities where noise and pollution constraints dominate. If you have a plane that you're allowed to land 300 times a year at midnight at a field where you'd only be allowed to land at 50 times a year before 10pm with a conventionally powered plane you might be able to stake out a commercially viable niche.

But VCs normally try to fund genuine businesses - in this case, by suggesting they weren't interested in a "proper business" (as in a legitimate business) and were wanting something to exit in the "short term", the insinuation was that they just wanted a sham / fake business that they could use to fool people just long enough to do a 100x pump and dump.
How could a lottery produce such an outcome with tens of thousand of people in the pool and thousands being chosen? Set a threshold to get into the lottery (say a SAT score of 1200) and then choose at random.

Such an approach will likely encourage diversity as people who think they don't have a chance under the current system will apply.

I’m not following or think I disagree. Plenty of people (me and my siblings included) have gone from poverty to upper middle class in two generations. My grandfathers were literally a coal miner and a steel mill worker in rural Western PA. My parents were the first generation to attend college. My siblings and most of my cousins have achieved solid middle class or better in general.

Funny you should say that w.r.t. to reliability.

How did Apple achieve those goals? Through greater integration and reduced modularity.
