Well, since the repo more or less took the contents verbatim from the original author (unless they are the same), and here presents it _more_ clearly than the original, I'd say the repo owner failed.

At the very least it should be presented in a more unmaintainable way.

I think you are kinda missing the point. The blockchain would define a secure protocol for voting, which you could independently verify. In such a distributed trustless system, you could even vote with your own device, provided you have the "keys"/"id" to submit your vote.

>It's not that Alex Jones is off-topic it's that he's saying disagreeable things.

I think this is the central disagreement. He _is_ breaking the rules of twitter, by any interpretation, but even were he not, I don't think you can just wipe away concerns with that the things he's saying are "disagreeable".

We're having a lot of problems currently around the fact that we have people who have gotten very good at propagandising and communicating in malicious, duplicitous ways. Alex Jones and friends aren't coming to the table in good faith, and asking to be treated as if they are is one of the tools they're using to twist polite discourse for their own profit.

While it's incredibly important that anybody who has something to say in good faith be allowed to say it, we still need to be able to protect ourselves against people like Alex Jones, who is simply trying to extract profit from a gullible audience.

Just another level of obfuscation
Oh give me a break, read my other comments below if you think I'm talking about "small talk". I recently had an interview with a 45 minute section for answering questions about my interests (with questions as trivial as what music I like, what all of my hobbies are, why I like my hobbies, etc.), and in my experience these type of questions are not uncommon and are often asked with a degree of interest that surpasses small talk. I'm the kind of person who talks w/ my barber and neighbors and I avoid writing code at home as much as possible. This idea that engineers have to prove they have interior lives that are harmonious w/ the goals of a company is sociopathic. If you're early in your career, let me give you some advice: employers are not your friend, and these kinds of questions are not innocuous.

EDIT: Nevermind, you're a founder of a company, so I dunno, it sounds like you're too deep in the kool aid or too disconnected from the position of a regular software engineer to understand why this is a problem

Are there any distributions where the command pip just works with Python 3?

I've just switched over to using the Yubikey Neo, so I'd love to chime in here.

My first and primary use of my key is that I use HMAC hashing on the Yubikey to unlock my KeepPassCX database. This solution works very well for me because it works seamlessly on multiple platforms (Linux and Windows) and is also compatible with Keepass2Android for my phone. I've looked into GPG only solutions and the ones I looked at didn't offer either the cross-platform compatibility and or browser integration, which is nice. The strong advantage of the Neo (vs the other hardware keys) is the use of NFC, which means less plugging things into my phone. In an ideal world, I'd love to get NFC working with my computers too.

I also use the PGP/SSH smartcard capabilities of my Yubikey on Linux (Ubuntu) and that's been flawless. I don't use SSH on Windows, but I hear the integration there is fairly solid as well.

I've not yet begun to use U2F for authentication, yet. My focus is on my most important services first, which is my passwords and logins. I'll be moving to U2F soon though.

If there was a way to store my passwords easily using PGP instead of HMAC, I'd be interested in that. The issue isn't the storage, but the interface to that storage being easy to use and cross platform (which is not the domain of the hardware, obviously). If I had that, I could consider not needing the HMAC.

I've heard that there is a way to use U2F offline for SSH, but I haven't looked into it. I'm still using SSH keys for things like SSH and Git. Perhaps if there was a solution to that, I might drop the GPG requirement, but I'd need either HMAC or GPG for decryption of my password database, so in any case, FIDO alone isn't enough.
Frankly an organization's "style" is a bunch of unexamined, calcified social biases that companies screen in interviews for because they don't like to be challenged on them. Or in the more malevolent cases its outright bigotry that's given cover as something else. Heterogeneity of methodology is actually good (especially at startups, which often operate in ways purely driven by the whims of inexperienced founders), and the people you interview can often teach you a lot. "Culture" is a joke, there's nothing cultural about these things.

This going private thing is a strange idea. Sell Tesla to the Saudi sovereign wealth fund? The one dedicated to keeping oil a viable industry?

The sheiks and leaders of most of the Mideast oil producers know their oil will run out eventually, and one of the mandates of their sovereign wealth funds is to diversify their economies. Dubai is probably the most progressive in this respect, but Saudi Arabia and the others are as well to some extent.
As someone who has come really close on several occasions to buying TSLA puts (the options version of shorting) I think I can answer: the shorts aren't haters.

The shorts don't want Tesla to fail. The shorts don't even think Tesla will fail.

The shorts just think the market cap of Tesla is insane. It's higher than much larger, profitable automakers who can provably make and sell cars at scale.

For Tesla to be worth its share price it has to grow by two orders of magnitude. I won't even say that that won't happen. It could. But it'll take years. And when it does the stock won't be worth more than it is now.

On top of that there are risk factors. What if energy density of batteries doesn't substantially improve and all electric vehicles continue to be unappealing to large chunks of the population due to range anxiety? What if all electric does win (it's going to eventually) but the other companies are able to compete well enough and Tesla just becomes another Ford?

Their share price is just out of control. The market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, but I can totally see how someone with very deep pockets could find shorting Tesla a good bet even if they don't want it to (or even think it will) fail.

> Do we actually want Tesla and SpaceX to fail?

There are billions of dollars invested in Tesla's demise through shorts. Yes, quite a few people need Tesla to fail. A lot of those people also own media companies. Musk isn't being hyperbolic when he says the short sellers "are desperately pushing a narrative that will possibly result in Tesla’s destruction."

> what kinds of people it will take to lead the next generation of such companies, and how we can identify and develop them.

This was something I was thinking about the other day as well, except I wasn't thinking about Tesla. I was thinking about Apple and how Jobs clearly didn't prepare for his inevitable death. Had it been anybody else, I would have been able to explain it away as not being able to predict the future, but Apple has suffered through Jobs leaving once before. More or less the exact same thing happened both times (to the company after he left, I mean. Not to Jobs himself, obviously). So why didn't Jobs do a better job of finding and cultivating a successor?

When I finished my studies I was sold as a trainer for Microsoft training
When I was assigned a course, I had about 2 days to a week to discover the technology and prepare the course. Often I didn't even know the name of the technology I was supposed to be an expert on.

When you looked at the official conditions of the training, you had to have 10 years of experience just to have the right to follow it, I was supposed to have passed diplomas to have the right to line up. I finally realized that my company had to produce fake degrees with a fake resume or I must have been 10 years older developpers.

It is obvious afterwards that employees, or even managers of training centers were in the scheme, there is indeed in my country a law that obliges companies to spend money in training every year.
The company was doing this scheme on a large scale, we were 40
The worst part was that most of my colleagues were younger trainees than me, only three or four of us were officially employed and had real diplomas, so we were sent to the most difficult cases.

The advice we received was to be aggressive with the students to prevent them from asking too many questions, to be impeccably dressed and to be "handsome".
It was not easy to teach to 15 years older
So that my classes were not too pathetic and to make a minimum illusion I often prepared my courses the day before until 5 o'clock in the morning.

The trainees who gave the training deemed easier were recruited on the line, preferably if they were foreign, they were sent to give a test training and if it went badly they were sent back on the spot without remuneration.
I don't know how or why, but I did about nine months of this before I left.

Yes. To be clear, Telstra has installed devices of mass surveillance. So, this new bill is about undoing the 'snowden world' as you suggest.

From this article: https://theintercept.com/2016/10/23/endace-mass-surveillance...

This clearly shows how an Australian company was giving assistance in the construction of the hardware for a NZ company, Endace: https://theintercept.com/document/2016/10/23/medusa-weekly-s...

"Both prototype boards have been returned to Sourceman in Aussie with DDR memory issues and PCB baord issues" [Their typo].

Telstra has Endace hardware installed for the purpose of monitoring Australians: https://theintercept.com/document/2016/10/23/sprint-endace-l...

"The packet capture abilities... sold to Telstra"
"1,337 people have signed up so far."

Is that just boilerplate or was I really lucky?
I think that some of the social power of viewing sexuality as an innate characteristic is to respond to discrimination and the work to add sexual orientation as a protected class (along with race, religion, etc).

There are other protected classes that are mutable like religion and creed, but the argument that discrimination based on sexuality should be illegal like race is stronger if it’s not something that people choose.

Of course discrimination should be minimized regardless of innate or not, but the loud arguments I’ve heard are about how sexuality is something born with. The whole idea of sexual fluidity, to me, means that there’s a whole malleability and I assume there’s some conscious ability to impact it.

But the big disadvantage is when the hype will work against you, there are many examples like the No Man Sky game that was a decent game but because of the hype it will be forever remembered on how not to hype the product, in the present the game has the promissed features but very few will take a look at it.

I understand that a company wants good PR, but I think you need to keep it real, like if a dude posts a video of Tesla self driving on some roads instead of Musk sharing it they can not do it or share but put a include the message that you mustk keep your hand on the wheel and pay attention.
The reality is that now a Tesla has a non zero chance of driving you into a large object and killing you, when this happens your public image suffers when you promised autopilot but if you instead market this as a drive assistant that collects and learns how to drive and in future will become autopilot then the backlash will not affect you.

I know that in small print and the big TOS this things are very clear but the PR and social media activity of Tesla and Musk contradict those terms.
ha, I've been building a similar system myself recently! If you ever have need of it, I'd strongly recommend upgrading your use of Promises to RxJS Observables - this way, you can provide endpoints that emit values multiple times (say, a progress bar on a file upload or a realtime connection) and the UI will update in response.
This is suppose to be funny , unfortunately this is the sad reality of what you'll find in 90% of Enterprise / Startups environment as well as THE majority of open source repositories of popular open source projects.

I've noticed this especially true for JavaScript and Go.

In JavaScript , because the language is still evolving and there is no real standard about how to architect code with this language unless you are using a entire "platform" like Angular / Vue / React witch will highly influence your coding style.

In Go because Go developers are performances obsessed , coming from C/C++ background and do believe that naming their variable with one letter will save 1GB of memory allocation , 1000 CPU Cycles and make their code "Clear and Concise"

Ultimately , because there is very little standard in this industry in terms of code governance and a large percentage of projects are outsourced to other companies , we end up with what is described in this repository.

Not sure I make the same bet. Generally you don't outsource your core competencies. Design and software are Apple's core competencies. Assembling hardware is not.
Calling it a 19th century idea would be scientifically disingenuous since there's still consensus that sexual orientation is stable and not a choice. Generally it's more common for a person's orientation to be stable rather than change over a long period of time.

Sexual fluidity could be attributed to a larger portion of the population being bisexual. For example I would consider myself bisexual but my preferences over time can shift a fair amount.

That tweet was a classic non-apology. He tried to shift as much of the blame as possible for his actions onto the British ex-pat; I can't understand how people think that shows genuine remorse.
I'm afraid his health will be impacted by several years of unimaginable stress caused too much responsibility, real and perceived attacks on his business, sometimes unrealistic promises - and trying to follow up on them, long hours and lack of sleep. Not to mention the trade offs he has made with family/friends vs work.

I think we should all be very grateful to the hugely important work he is doing to advance electric vehicles and space exploration, literally forcing two slow moving industries to move much faster, in the right direction.

"You mean, like, the return key on my keyboard??"

No.

The difference is that if you're using your keyboard you're very likely not to bother doing things like implementing defensive checks, reproducible and deterministic steps, good rollbacks that you've actually tested, etc. You're using your computer, so just tweaking a setting or adding in something you forgot is easy. If you're connecting your deploy process to a button then you need to automate everything in the process, which makes the process much more robust.
