I agree with you, but at the same time, I have to point out that not everyone might have that perspective (anecdotally or not). I'd argue sometimes that the rewards from grind in real-life might seem so marginal such that some people feel as if they have made no effective progress.

>Apple has been caught lying in the past about other things like battery life.

That's a stretch to say that they were lying. They weren't lying about the battery life nor did they claim that they weren't changing the clock speed of the device. They simply claimed to have different motivation for doing so (namely, to keep older phones from completely turning off) than what others assume was the motivation (intentionally slowing phones to gain more sales).
It's as difference from that as Dropbox is from mounting an NFS share on your computer.

Apple has been openly evil for most of its existence.

When they keep on being evil (within the boundaries of the law), no one flinches, it's business as usual, and the Apple fanboys keep on submitting to being mistreated by their favorite toy-maker so they can keep on secretly caressing their shiny new Iphones in their bed at night.

But back in the days, Google set the moral bar for themselves very, very high.

Now that they are openly failing to meet their own standard, the world is sorely disappointed.

Vesting is bad for everyone. The company buying yours gets to keep you around but you are the least motivated employee. You get to waste a few years as they figure out how to replace you. That's the best case.

Usually you leave and are given the option to buy the shares within 30 days at some price without a way to cash out.

Will these shares go up? perhaps but not really. What happens is new investors money will reduce your percentage. Your shares will be put in a non-protected group while the founders/investors take preferred shares with 10x the voting power.

If they gave you cash you buy google shares you sell when you want and you have the choice to put the money anywhere.
It seems like more and more services are being moved under the Firebase umbrella (Crashlytics for example), signalling Google is committed long term to Firebase. It is a considerable form of cloud lock-in if you get your data into Firebase (firestore) and a competitive advantage over AWS, so there is good reason to believe this is long term strategy as well.

I'd have to go back and read the Apple and GCHQ (and .. was it .. Google?) denials more closely, but...

I found it really interesting how pointed and specific the denials were, rather than blanket denials or refusals to say anything.

I wonder if the technical details that were wrong in the article ended up giving cover to the denials. Maybe the hack never was in hardware, and Bloomberg totally screwed that part up, due to a misunderstanding of what it means to "manufacture a board with vulnerabilities" and that ended up giving inadvertent cover to those parties wishing to deny that a hardware hack was found in products in their datacenters?

EDIT:

Okay, maybe my theory's not so great.

>On this we can be very clear: Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server. Apple never had any contact with the FBI or any other agency about such an incident. We are not aware of any investigation by the FBI, nor are our contacts in law enforcement.
re: "I am saying that these devices can cause issues for normal poeple who don't have other severe issues."

Yes. But don't you see the irony in that statement? How "normal" can you be if a device and a few swipes "makes" you into something else? Sure, maybe without the device you could bottle it up? But for how long? And at what cost? Where does that "energy" go (to other bad habits)?

If what you said was true then EVERYONE would have this problem. As it is, that's just not true. In fact, the media often spins reports of those not on social media as being abnormal.

Don't get me wrong. We do have a collective problem. But it's bigger than just these devices, and simply blaming the devices is not going to help solve for the root.
> the bull market can't continue indefinitely

The question is, is GDP growth always going to trend upward, or will it trend downward at some point in the future. If the former, the bull market (with some crashes) can continue. If the latter, then nope. The stock market isn't the economy, but it certainly is a distorted reflection of the economy.

Look at the factors of production:

* land: not building any more of it (except the Chinese in the South China Sea :) ). Unless space travel becomes economical, then there's a ton of "land" available in terms of satellite habitats, the moon, etc.

* labor: human population looking to peak in 2050 last I checked. Not sure how climate change will affect this (could be a strong negative in 100 years).

* capital: lots and lots of capital and more efficient ways for it to move around the world.

* energy: fracking + renewables have changed the game and the west is far more able to control their energy supply than in the past (see "The Absent Superpower")

* intangibles (ideas, patents, etc). Lots of room to run here. The internet + youtube + google has made the cost of distribution close to zero. This means that new ideas (both inane, like dance fads, and useful, like new ways to organize teams) can spread far more quickly than in the past. (see "Capitalism without Capital")

I'm voting yes, the bull market will continue indefinitely. I'm long the human race :) .

No one cares. The entire tech industry is built on producing products people don’t need to connect you to people you don’t like. The masses of people don’t care about any of this, and that includes the people that have the luxury to spend extra money on privacy.
Though reading the specifics there, it looks like Google's adapters in particular should work with any other phone because they can handle analog or digital signals. So they're doing well.

Yes that's also a very good question. I think if you combine the two, you get "would you prefer to give email access to your friend or to a random stranger" - it's actually a tough question for me to answer.

In this case, no - Pokémon Red+Green were the two games released together in Japan, and Blue was a special edition released later.

When it came out in the US, they based Red and Blue on the updated code+artwork from Blue, but with the catchable Pokémon split that was there between JP Red/Green (e.g. Electabuzz/Magmar were exclusive to JP Red/Green and US Red/Blue, respectively). (This is also why on, say, Bulbapedia the sprite lists for Gen 1 list "Red/Blue", "Yellow", and "Red/Green" as different entries.)

(I _think_ it was just that they preferred the red/blue contrast? I'm not sure I ever heard a definitive answer why, other than perhaps the fact that they mashed up the Blue and Green version.)

This only comes up if you have data that isn't bundled with logic: as long as there is some logic to test, even enums end up with full coverage.

The outstanding issue with Java code coverage tools is switch statements, because there are unhandled paths generated by the compiler, but there is an easy solution: don't use switch statements. Enums are basically always a better option anyway.
When pressed to give specific details, Enright refused, saying that he was “not clear on the contours of what is in scope or out of scope for that project.”

I'm not sure what is more intellectually offensive: that an executive would say this, or say it and actually believe it would fly. A senior manager? Okay, sure. You might not know what project outside of your division is working on. An executive really shouldn't be this oblivious to their organization working with a foreign government.

They don't. The era of top notch engineers picking Google because of the company's vision and ethics are long gone.

Right: "Our total medical expenditure came to $50,138. This works out to $686.82 per member per year." They don't break the membership down by age, but that's a number for a young healthy group, and completely unrealistic for forward planning. Medical contingencies can be huge. One serious accident with farm equipment or a pregnancy gone sour and they're bankrupt.

And I can't find anything about insurance costs in that article. Surely accident and liability insurance is needed?

Universities give preference to community college students for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the education they have received.

They tend to be older and more focused on their education; to have already demonstrated that they can complete 2 years of basic coursework without dropping out; and have mostly completed their general education classes, meaning they are much less of a drain on the institution. None of these reasons demonstrate 'better-than-average' quality of community college education, just the quality of the kind of students that pursue it successfully, and where they are in life when they apply somewhere else.

The very strategy of doing your first couple of years (ie - the general stuff you can teach yourself from the text book) before going somewhere else to your final degree belies the argument that the education is 'better than average'.
The only complaint I've heard about AirPods is the audio quality, in that that they're typical of Apple's earbuds. Better than the $10 generic ones on Amazon, worse than $150 wired earbuds from Sennheiser etc.

Bluetooth reliability is better than any other headphones, battery life is impressive for how tiny they are, pairing (with iOS/macOS) works better than other bluetooth devices, the charging case is better thought out than other "true wireless" earbuds. Customer satisfaction surveys are ridiculously positive (IIRC 98% or 99%).

I haven't bought them yet myself (just because they cost money), but maybe when the 2nd gen comes out I'll take another look.
I'm looking forward to Samsung's NotchPhone coming out some day. I have an iPhone X and think the notch is a non-issue, but I didn't realize Android phone makers had started coping it until the past few weeks when I noticed lots of billboards for Android phones while traveling, all of which had the notch.

So I have bought Supermicro motherboards in quantity in the past. We went through a distributor and shipping was not direct from China.

So I'm having doubts that Supermicro's Chinese CM has any idea who the end customer of any of their boards is. Maybe it's different for really huge customer, but I still have doubts- it implies they are building to order and have no inventory.

This implies that the CM installs the Chinese Spy Chip on every board, or a random sampling of boards (so they should show up in the wild) or the tampering happens later in the supply chain- in the US.

Also I have further doubts about embedding a chip in a middle layer of a PCB. I doubt the CM is going to add that much extra expense when it's easier to add a chip to the surface. You don't really buy much secrecy from embedding a chip given that it's easy to x-ray a board, so why bother?

Anyway, there are devices called optical comparators. Supermicro could buy some security by providing comparison images that allow customers to perform an incoming inspection. I'm thinking they should do this now to add assurance / help their stock price.

Here is an optical one:

The Secret to a High-Converting Lead Generation Form
When TDDing the tests are going to change a lot, just like the code you are saying you write anyway. I recommend the book Refactoring for the tools so you can make the changes without breaking the test, then clean up the now-unimportant tests, and then clean up the unused code. That way the tests stay green even when making major, breaking changes.

Being able to slice projects that way, in terms of functional behavior, is absolutely a skill that requires practice. You are already thinking about what your code needs to do: the practice is to get good at expressing that in terms the computer understand. Once you are in the habit, the tests make it easier to evolve the code rather than harder.

It is possible to be a good developer without that skill, but learning and practicing the skill will make you better.
The problem is that people who understand the value of privacy are probably less than 1% of the total population. The rest don't understand or don't care and they are the target consumers of the said corporations. So simply logging out of Facebook or start buying Apple products yourself is not enough anymore. For the same reason I can't buy your prediction about next big successful companies, even if I would like to.

I got the Nokia 6 (2017) and can confirm that the camera was also very bad there. But security updates are still coming (just updated to patch level October 2018) and Android 9 has been announced to come at the end of this year, which is absolutely fine for me because that's a much better support than a lot of "premium" phones ($600+) get. Samsung's Galaxy S9 - its top smartphone - is still running Android 8.0 (8.1 is out since end of 2017) and it will get Android 9 not before next year.

Considering that the Nokia 6 costed me only ~$170 when I bought it a few months back, this is top value.
