No, he's not. Autonomous vehicles and household robots existed when he made these predictions. The predictions are about the ubiquity and widespread, mass market adoption of these things - which has not happened. Yes, the robots and driver assistance systems are better, sometimes hugely improved, and more widespread than 20 years ago, but the operative word in the predictions is MOST and that is where they fall down, and fail to be true.

Why does the average Norwegian need a roof rack and a tow bar?
Why would you arbitrarily reject a token refresh? The question here is which token to reject. That's where the state comes in. If a token is compromised, you have to know which one. Hence, stateful.
I think it's just that the disability added another layer of empathy for GP. Sort of like when people react more strongly to children suffering, or how D.C. freaked out over the Kashoggi murder. Everyone else's suffering is just as bad, but humans aren't logical about our emotions.
If you're on an H-1b and your union goes on strike

You are still employed, you're just not getting paid. There are laws that state, in effect, that you cannot get fired for going on strike as part of a lawful strike. Well, if you aren't fired, then you must be employed, right?
There is a problem with that is how do you define what is "law breaking" / "unethical" - its not a Unions job to be judge an jury here also it would make it hard to recruit widely.

And can we not use the term guild in TU history has some very negative connotations.

Normal troubleshooting for intermittent issues is to add logging and diagnostics around possible areas it's happening and have users send in traces when it bites them again.

Of course, the success of Tesla isn't based on Musk alone. There are thousands of Tesla employees contributing to it. Be it in engineering or production. However, Musk is the glue which ties all of this together. He set the direction, contributed quite a lot of his personal money in the beginning and is at the steering wheel.
You are correct! It is a fully time tested method that can work for anyone.
Hold on, I'm a lefty - and don't particularly like that brush you're tarring me with.
Now before we go on, I do agree with some of your points. The results we observe are driven by many factors and individual choice is one of them. I object to 'positive discrimination' and the like as it's personally unfair.
However, I do have that deep troubling feeling that there is bias all over the place. I'll just go with gender, as you mentioned it (and yes, this is all anecdotal).
I'm in the UK, working for an Israeli company. The UK office (and US) is a veritable 'sausage-fest' - however Israel and India have a far higher proportion of women doing these technical roles. My point is that these "personal desires" seem to vary by geography, rather than gender.
Now, why would this matter, if everybody gets to do what they want?
Well, income. Many western industries seem to have massive gender bias within them - and women always seem to end up in the ones that pay less (which for want of a better metric is our best indicator of 'value' we have).
Now within a job role, once you balance in hours worked/flexibility/anything-you-care to include the gender pay gap isn't too bad. It's there, but not enough to annoy me.
My quibble is that if you/I had two children, one male, one female, equal in every way - the male child is going to earn more.
The article uses transit as an example, as that is the area of expertise of the author. It is tangential at best to the idea of 'elite projection,' and yet it is far easier to make arguments about transit than to consider whether we are looking at problems from an 'elitist' POV.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Intentional code obfuscation in combination with strike action would likely be the threat tactic of choice for developers.

Employers will likely react I a counter productive manner to this threat - e.g. mandating 100% unit test coverage which would be achieved with cryptic tests that actually make the code even harder to work with.

This could lead to a decline in overall software quality in America if the relationship between developers/ops and management really sours.
It is not like you couldn't do crypto handshakes before this if you wanted to lock down your system. Now it is just standardized.
These were also the years where the soviet union was at its most threatening and keeping workers happy to reduce the attraction of communism was at the highest. After that threat vanished the gains in productivity have been used to reward investors rather than workers.
As a professional interviewer and reporter, I agree that the production values and the questions were poor. But as a form of marketing and a way to connect to the Nobel "minds" through the web, it's not a bad first step to a more richer program.
The issue specifically arises when using third-party chargers and/or docks with the system docked. In docked mode, the Switch draws more power than when undocked, and requests an amount of power which is not the same as the amount of power that it actually expects, or that is delivered by the first-party charger and dock. This can result in bricking your system.

In short, the Switch does not properly implement the USB-PD standard.
This form of "authentication" smells like DRM, especially as they're using it to limit power and they're using Digicert to sign devices. And if you're speaking X.509 or something on both sides I'm intensely curious to see how vulnerable the attack surface is.

The "authentication" that would actually help is to default to only allowing charging through ports (and allow charging without authentication - who cares where I get 65 W of power from? are there malicious electrons?), and show a little "new device" authentication screen with a Bluetooth-style pairing process when I connect something new. Then either burn an asymmetric key onto the device or generate a random symmetric key (and leave the CAs out of it), and on the host, bind the key to the current function of the device, as displayed on the pairing screen. If I clicked "Trust this keyboard," don't let it turn into a CD drive. If I clicked "Trust these headphones," don't let it turn into a keyboard. And so forth.

If sounds like what you're arguing is that the cost of innovation can be partly measured in human suffering. I disagree -- there are innovative, unionized companies (someone else mentioned Toyota).

But even if I did agree that worker rights and wellbeing decrease innovation, then it sounds like a worthwhile tradeoff.

Front (YC S14) | Software Engineers | San Francisco, CA & Paris, France | ONSITE | FULL-TIME

Email is the universal communication tool for work. It’s where you discuss work, answer questions, and talk to all your customers, vendors, and partners. But email wasn’t made for business and hasn’t evolved with the way you work with a team. So you’re dropping the ball, missing important context, and relying on many siloed apps that make you less productive as a whole.

Front is reinventing the inbox so people can accomplish more together. We’ve created one place where you communicate internally and externally, gain context about customers and projects, and access all your other tools so you can be more efficient, more fulfilled, and ultimately happier at work. Today, over 4,000 companies rely on Front to power their communications, and we’re just getting started.

We are hiring for software engineers across all parts of the stack. Apply at https://frontapp.com/jobs#openings or email us at jobs@frontapp.com.

The real impact is that offshoring would get even bigger. Those guilds only work if all of the best talent is a part of it. (i.e. the Directors Guild, SAG, WGA.) however top talent in software write their own ticket anyway so what would be their incentive? Convincing some startup to become signatory to a guild would be a non-starter for most. If they were to become signatory to a guild, are the founders going to be forced to pay themselves union scale for a side project that doesn’t yet have traction?

Off the top of my head:

- Paid support from the official development team.

- Paid features, plugins, or addons that primarily serve enterprise users.

- Paid hosting

- In-app advertising
> At least from what I've read, the primary problem have been a lack of financing for maintaining the current system. The subway does need to move to a more advanced signaling system, but there's no reason why the old-fashioned signaling system has to be falling apart.

Since 2010, Cuomo has raided the coffers in order to fund his own personal projects (like an upstate ski resort), yes. But it's not just a matter of funding: due to corruption and a complete lack of oversight, costs are out of control because the MTA and TWU, as well as private contractors, are able to siphon off absurd amounts of money by inflating costs or even committing outright fraud: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

Ineffectiveness in this sense is leaderships fault. They hired without vision for why the role was needed, what’s expected, and established accountability. Combine that with a culture where you’re expected to be real friends with everyone results in a lot of people sitting around drinking coffee and playing ping pong.

Elixir vs. Ruby and Phoenix vs. Rails: What to Choose and Why
My first thought too. Every standard seems to eventually add DRM-ish features if it's been around long enough. This won't stop maliciousness/determined attackers, but instead it will just become another hurdle of proprietariness that restricts users unnecessarily while protecting the profits of the big companies.

(Of course, it's always done "for your security"...)
See I sort of think historically, US unions were reactions to strongly abusive management at some point in company history. After they become entrenched, I agree that worker management relations can end up confrontational, and likely less efficient. But it's a two way relationship at the root there.

But this isn't a forgone conclusion, for example worker relations seem to work fine in general in Germany which has actually institutionalized worker representation at a fairly high level in corporations.
All in one profits

> Comes from a PHP consulting firm, promoting their own alternative proposal (which hardly anyone else seems to discuss or use). So I think #1 above is really about drawing eyeballs and selling services, more so than providing clear information for a newcomer to follow.

There was a recent (November 2018) talk at London Gophers about JWT Alternatives (slides here: https://speakerdeck.com/hako/exploring-alternatives-to-json-...).

Keep in mind that PASETO didn't exist until the middle of 2018, so the main reason "hardly anyone else" seems to use it is precisely because it takes time for standards to be adopted.

If you take a look at https://paseto.io, you'll see that there are implementations of PASETO (our proposed alternative) in multiple programming languages by other companies and individuals. All of these implementations are open source and under very permissive licenses (MIT or ISC).

Additionally, a great deal of time and effort went into the PASETO documentation, so that developers can understand not only how to implement it themselves, but also why it was designed the way it is. https://github.com/paragonie/paseto/tree/master/docs

Given all of the above, is it really fair to write PASETO off as an attempt to sell services?

Claiming that the original article is meant to sell services doesn't make sense either: If developers keep using unsafe tools, they will continue to be less secure and I'll have an easier time selling "make your products/services more secure" services to developers. The best thing to do, to meet such an incentive, is to say nothing publicly and let the easy money keep rolling in.

So one of two things is happening:

1. You don't correctly understand our intentions.

2. We're really bad at understanding our own incentives, and it's a miracle we've been in business for 4 years.

BitMEX | SF |Sr Security/K8S/Node/API | On-Site | Full-Time | Visa
The Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange (BitMEX) is the world’s most advanced Bitcoin derivatives platform and the 26th largest exchange, of any type, on Earth. We have a hundred thousand active customers across the globe, particularly in Asia.

Developed by ex-bankers well-versed in computer science, financial engineering, and traditional finance, BitMEX launched in 2014. We’re new (but so is everybody in this industry) and we’ve been humbled by our success so far.

Our innovative, secure, and very liquid platform currently trades between $2 and $5 billion USD a day of crypto derivatives (futures and options only; we are not a spot exchange where you can buy Bitcoin with USD or other fiat currencies).

By offering the crypto-sphere’s greatest price discovery marketplace, BitMEX also expects, over the long term, to spur Bitcoin adoption by consumers and merchants.

Culturally, BitMEX defies the stereotypes of both the old-fashioned, testosterone-drenched Wall Street “boys club” type of firm, as well as the politically correct, “snowflake-coddling” Silicon Valley tech outfit. In truth, we are pioneering a new model of corporate culture, and learning as we go.

For example, as Angelina Kwan, chief operating officer of BitMEX, put it: “In addition to being a true market leader among trading platforms, BitMEX shares my values of gender inclusion, particularly in STEM fields. Cryptocurrency markets present an exciting new opportunity for women to get involved in the intersection of finance and technology.”

All BitMEX employees have at least three things in common: they buy into our core values unequivocally, they are effective in their roles, and they own up to their actions. No workplace is free of internal politics, but we are as much of a meritocracy as you’ll find in this cruel world. And you can be almost anything you want to be at BitMEX as long as you make your mark with your work.

If you like what you've read, visit bitmex.com/careers or email people@bitmex.com. We are hiring across all departments but our most pressing needs right now are for Node/API Engineers, Senior SREs and Kubernetes Engineers.

We look forward to hearing from you!
