Why won't we ever have cross-platform and usre friendly signing software that also has bulletproof security?

We already have many programs that are cross-platform and user-friendly while also addressing way more complicated use cases than cryptographic singing.
I've used both GNPG and Estonian eID. I have to say Estonian eID is way more usable when one needs to sign anything. The (digidoc4) software is just way more usable, nicer and designed for the task. I wish GNUPG were as good

Your answer is correct too, but the question originally asked was "what would he have gained from destroying the shorts? I understand that shorts are effectively a bet that the stock will go down but do they actually damage the company in any way?" The answer is yes, short sellers do damage the company for a variety of reasons, some reasons relating directly to stuff like stock price, and other reasons being more indirect like the one I cited.

I saw that other answers had already explained how shorts lower the stock price, but nobody had pointed out the other ways in which they "damage the company", as the original post put it.
I don't want to sound an asshole, but I will sound an assholle nevertheless.

I was damn happy as one can be at 3.5 years in my career. 10 years in, I feel like my happiness and awesomeness has been slowly consumed by corporate politics, unfair promotions and layoffs, bad work ethics and the such.

I still like my work. I really really enjoy it when it's productive, and I still feel amazed to see the green checkmark on my CI after a long and challenging git push - but after so many years and a couple companies it's just work.

There are some real cool places and projects to work though, you just need to dig through the "look we're cool let us enslave you" crap.
Thanks for the tip, I'll investigate
Time is on China's side. The US can throw a tantrum all they want.

They should play a long game. There is no benefit for them in retaliating to hurt the US as long as it does not cause issues in domestic politics. They should focus on not getting hurt too much and let time do the rest.

Maybe Tesla needs to fail in the market. After seeing how he behaves on twitter, I just cant imagine the chain of command in Tesla works effectively internally. With the leader so fragile in terms of ego, so easy to go ballistic and with seemingly no ethical limits on how he treats those who don't instantly bend to him.

He seems to care more about building personality cult around himself then about running business.

There are plenty of companies with toxic cultures, it is not like that would be unusual. But here, I just cant imagine people under Musk ever telling him he is wrong or telling him about problems. I would guess that his grasp of reality will be increasingly wrong. To a degree it is normal, of course, but
here it seems to go really to extremes.

Electric cars will come with or without them.

Because if you are in a position where you might plausibly give investment advice, and you make a statement that could conceivably be construed as investment advice by the authorities, you may find yourself running afoul of the law. So just like a lawyer making comments about legal choices, you make it explicit that you're not acting as a professional advisor.
Last time I checked, rents weren't that bad, even in Mountain View. Now, rents aren't cheap, but compared to what you'll pay in, say, Los Angeles or San Diego, the rents are not insane. I'm trying to relocate to the valley and I'm looking at about $1k(a bit less even) in extra rent every month for a comparable apartment.

Now if I wanted to buy a house... yeah, the valley sucks. But so does owning a house and I have no interest in that anymore.

Absolutely infuriating. As a diabetic a high-protein diet is just about the best thing for me. I'd quit on the spot.
I said this:

> Of course we don't know everything, but the discussion really ends there: we don't know what we don't know.

I think the guy I replied to asked about "theories" of alternatives, and there isn't really anything specific as far as I'm aware; there's just this vague philosophical notion that we don't know what we don't know. I don't think anyone's denying it (I certainly am not) but there is not much else to be said on the subject. Knowing that we don't know what we don't know doesn't help us make predictions about what we don't know.

Chalk it up to the fact that almost literally every European city developed while people still traveled on horses, and nearly every American city saw 90% of its development when cars existed. If Americans already need cars because cities are so far apart and it isn't yet feasible to rely on public transportation across states and the country, why bother making cities that resemble European, pre-steam engine city layouts unless you are dealing with a city like New York or Los Angeles, where there is no practical reason to leave?
I think this is a pretty interesting phenomenon and I often struggle with how to handle it. I have pretty severe defensive navigation requirements where I tend to require active perception of velocity change before I trust obstacles are going to behave in the manner I expect ... and I think that mentality often leads to these kinds of outcomes.

I was recently in Amsterdam where there are many many bikes and many variations on the scenarios that can cause this to occur. I felt like I started to observe communication on the faces and trajectories around me that tried to convey a message about a kind of conscious morality for influencing the outcomes that results in these scenarios. There seemed to be a kind of social encouragement toward modulating one’s trajectory when possible in advance of where uncertainties could cause delay in order to have the effect of minimizing the required velocity changes — an expression that seemed to say “if you put yourself into a situation where uncertainty about your trajectory is likely to cause a group velocity decrease, you haven’t found the ideal path. Keep an eye out for opportunities to improve the group outcome in the future and have a nice day.” (Edit: Culture in the Netherlands is rather amazing)
I have played around with qi hardware for a device in development, the best I could get from TI, and I found the entire system flakey, overheat prone, and generally rather impossible to debug and sensitive to the slightest variations.

Take a look at the Qi standard, it is mind bogglingly complicated.
Owning mansions is an investment in real estate. Vehicles are the assets that aren't a store of value
My sense is the general argument goes: if you, as a member of the dominant race/class do something (adopt a style of dress, way of wearing your hair, style of music, etc.) which, when it is done by its originators leads to discrimination against them (for example people of African descent wearing their hair in dreads) but becomes cool and even profitable for you (think Elvis playing R&B), that's appropriation. I agree it's tricky because I don't think we want to advance essentialist arguments in general, but the focus is more on the unfairness than the "only X can do Y".

That is very silly. How would a descriptive fact about the world (e.g. what is of evolutionary adaptive advantage for humans) ground an objective moral 'ought'?

What you are really saying, I'm guessing, is that humans have certain altruistic or moral capacities, and that there are certain game-theoretic principles that suggest how we might act in our collective self-interest.

Note that both of those things depend on false conditions: we are adapted to an environment which is not our present one; highly idealised game-theoretic situations tell us little about the complex realities of politics, history, economics, etc.

And what is valuable is not what is in our evolutionary advantage hundreds of thousands of years ago, or what is game-theoretically in our collective self-interest. And again, neither of these things can possibly ground an 'objective' basis to morality. You are confusing the descriptive sense of morality (as a feature of animal systems) with its normative sense.
People who are about engineering solutions to tough problems would worship an engineer that spends his time actually working on tough problems.

Elon Musk is business man. His actual occupation is organization, management, negotiation, finance and public relations.
Personally I think the crazy notion is that governments have rights. They are an embodiment of power. They need and have limits not rights. If the people stop the government from having an army - circumstances of the practicality of doing so aside its rights haven't been violated. It doesn't have any and the notion they do is absurd.

Even the transience property of personhood for corporations (regardless of one's opinion on the matter) doesn't apply to them for several reasons. Anyone with sufficient actually trivial resources can form a corporation. Forming your own government (in a non-parliment sense) is generally known as treason.

The people may have a right to self determination but that is a very big distinction.

But in reality there is a limit. The jury can say $2 Trillion. What is the largest award ever that made it past appeals? Being called a pedophile publicly by Elon Musk is as bad as it gets, but it's still a personal thing, not a loss of $Xx billion in sales or brand name.

Personally I think Musk needs an intervention, something not right with him and he needs to chill out, detox or whatever for a few months.

If Musk offers a huge reward, you'll see Pattya Beach hotel and bar owners checking decades old security cassettes.
The US would need to implement tarrifs of several hundred percent to make a difference. A 20% tariff China can just make a small change to the price of their currency and ride it out. An article today has a quote from Jack Ma that he thinks this trade war will last 20 years.

At the institutions, I was affiliated in fact it isn't. Most paychecks get covered by research grants. It is usually events, and perhaps minor constructions that get covered by tuition. The main input streams are from donations, fund raising and grants. For public ones, there is also the public/state expenditure, but I think that stream, can not support top institutions. Tuition can be pocket money for a lot of institutions.
Does anyone have any idea of when I'll be able to do a full-wipe re-install of iOS 12 via iTunes? I have a super-annoying bug in Youtube and I'm hoping this step will resolve things, but as of last night, my iPhone 7 wouldn't re-install via iTunes because the version wasn't available from the software center.

I will never, ever deploy AMP on my website or any website I have any control over. One poster in this thread made a dismissive statement about ideological criticism of AMP "(e.g. "Google is trying to destroy the open web")". Well, I am absolutely happy to stand by that criticism. AMP is diametrically opposed to the open web. The web is built upon three fundamental technologies, any of which—if replaced—constitute a platform OTHER than the open web: HTML/CSS, HTTP, and URI/DNS.

Google seems keen on breaking down that last bit as recent updates to Chrome demonstrate, and AMP is essentially a replacement for HTML. I don't see the open web being appreciated or respected by the Google of today, and I plan to do everything in my power to stand against this shocking land grab of influence over the web not seen since the bad old days of 90s era Microsoft.
I guess we're just interpreting the question differently.

"I'm feeling pretty confident my phone will last me another year"

That's great to hear. I used to be one of those people who got every new iPhone release (or at most every 2nd release), but I've been keeping my trusty old iPhone 6 going for a couple of years now and I have very little interest in getting a new phone any time soon. My 6 is getting a bit slow, so if performance is better on iOS 12 that's great news
I have been using scienter and intentionality interchangeably. I think it is you who is throwing around fancy-sounding terms like "legal interpretation" without really knowing what they mean.

Again, every CEO dislikes short sellers and literally everything they do to talk up the company hurts shorts, by definition. You don't need any tweets to establish that. It's a given. And every CEO misstates things and makes errors and in big companies every statement moves the stock price. The issue is intent.

What you are doing is focusing on the misstatement, adding in fancy sounding terms like "legal interpretation", and whipping that up into intent to defraud. But as the SEC explicitly addressed in the cited comment, they set the "state of mind" bar higher than mere misstatements. You are going to need more than that to establish scienter.

Your fancy term aside, there actually are other interpretations of his comment. He may have been overzealous. He may have overestimated his investors intent.

Let's look at it another way. Musk is a reasonably smart guy. How far was he going to get with this alleged scheme to intentionally defraud the market? How long until everyone realized the funds were not actually secured and the fraud was revealed? Like, 2 hours? That would be the stupidest fraud in the history of frauds. The conclusion is that, perhaps he actually believed the deal would come together. Erroneously, but erroneous statements are not enough for fraud; the key factor is state of mind.
Ok, we've changed to that article from https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/amazon-france-prest.... Thanks!
> It's such an odd collective viewpoint that a vehicle which virtually always travels far below the speed limit should be allowed alongside vehicles that travel at the speed limit.

Most cyclists are slower than the speed limit on most roads, but this does not occur "virtually always". Don't assume. Check the speed limit and the cyclist's speed!

As a cyclist, I find it really irritating to be dangerously passed by a driver, seemingly as punishment, catch up with them at a stop light, and then have them chew me out for not going the speed limit, when I actually was going the limit or faster. It's not hard for a fit cyclist to go the limit on a 15 or 20 mph road, particularly downhill. The problem here is that many drivers think anyone not going 30+ mph on those roads is being a jerk, and unfortunately some of those drivers believe dangerously passing slow vehicles is an acceptable response to their impatience.

But the reality is this: Going 30+ mph in a 15 mph zone is being a jerk!

As someone who identifies as a tech person but is working in sales at a large company, I'll try to give you my experiences. Keep in mind I am currently in my first sales role after 20+ years in "IT" so take my info with a grain of salt.

First, you may like interacting with people, which is great for sales, but it isn't just about walking into a company and chatting them up. If you are in a pure sales role you are going to have "targets" AKA quotas that you need to meet in order to get paid. Those targets might be on products that you could care less about, but if you don't sell them you won't get paid. You could take a sales role around one specific product, but again, you are likely going to be forced into situations you don't want to be in. Hot partner of the month? Better push it hard on your customer or face the wrath of your manager.

I want my customer to be happy. Like, actually happy, which means sometimes buying a lot of our stuff isn't in their best interest and I will tell them this. It is great to have that kind of mentality, but sadly most of your sales peers don't/won't have that and will make your sales numbers look like shit. If your numbers look like shit you won't be there long. Most of the people I work with have been doing sales most of their career and do it well. There isn't a lot of room for "guppies" so you better be ready to become a shark and think about you and only you.

When I got into sales I was hoping that everything I had heard about salespeople would be wrong, but unfortunately, all this role has done is solidified all the negative things people say about the sales folks. Like most things, I'm sure this isn't the case everywhere, but I'm at a big company and close to everyone I've met here in the sales org is your textbook salesperson.

As a tech person doing "technical sales" I honestly don't get much time with tech which is not at all what I thought would happen. I probably spend about 75% of my time on sales stuff with the other 25% being what I consider the fun stuff (creating PoCs, putting together demos, etc). I am also in the minority, a lot of my peers spend even less on the tech and are quickly to "escalate" any actual tech questions the customer has.

I really don't mean to shit on sales because there are folks out there that are good at their job AND care about the customer. Those people are pretty rare though.

For the money thing, you might have it backwards ;). If you can sell successfully you will make WAY more than a typical PM would. I've seen yearly bonuses that were close to six figures (before taxes). I've seen many folks get free trips to exotic places all over the world just for selling X amount of product. At our yearly events they bring in big mainstream music acts just to entertain internal folks. Companies put a ton of money into their sales orgs and it shows on the paychecks of folks in that org.

Interestingly, the places in the U.S. with more per capita crime, cities, have stronger support for gun control. However, crime is historically low nationwide, which may affect the relative distribution of gun control support/opposition in ways I can't predict.

There's a certain critical mass to it. We moved out to SF for five years while I worked at YouTube, then back to Atlanta to be close to family (and afford a house).

In this case it's very specific to trade secrets. It's not really cult-like to ask people not to talk specifics about your manufacturing processes, suppliers, or customers. That's also not usually within the purview of a non-compete. Non-competes generally dictate whether you can start selling competing products with a competitor or develop the same kind of software for sale with a competitor. They generally don't prohibit finding jobs in unrelated industries.

The morally reprehensible thing about a non-compete for a barista or janitor is that the knowledge of how to make coffee or clean is widely available and unless WeWork has some kind of proprietary technique for cleaning offices the non-compete is really a form of indentured servitude. And assuming there's no particular consideration given to what would happen to the janitor or barista should they lose their job and not be able to find similar work it's the kind of contract that should be illegal. It also makes me glad that I asked my employer to hold off on leasing an office for me from WeWork as I don't like doing business with companies that are that predatory.

But there's nothing particularly cult-like about it.

These two statements are quite different. Higher level programming languages than assembly are unnecessary; anything beyond the lambda calculus is unnecessary (assuming our goal is to compute Turing computable things). That's very different from saying that they're useless; just because they can be done without doesn't mean that they should.
