There are companies that value their trade secrets. If you employ an engineer for ten years and they know the ins and outs of your process and then go to work for a competitor, soon the competitor has a better product because they have all their own secrets plus yours.

In theory you could try to use an NDA, but the problem with an NDA is that if the employee goes to work for the competitor and then suddenly they have all your secrets, there is no easy way for you to actually prove that they weren't independently rediscovered by some other person at the other company, and nobody there has any incentive to tell you different. You may not even know that they now have any specific one.

The restriction is obviously unreasonable to the employee, because it prevents them from switching jobs to another that uses the skills they're trained in, but now it's politics. Who has more political power when a bill prohibiting non-competes comes before Congress?

Excluding professionals makes it so those companies no longer really care and makes it a lot easier to actually pass the bill.

The whole AirPower saga is a weird event in product development. AirPower compatibility was highlighted as a feature in the packaging of the just-released AirPods 2: https://twitter.com/itsnicolenguyen/status/11106569269650636...

There has to be something that caused this abrupt cancellation.
> One or both adversaries can escape.. it can happen in seconds with two supersonic aircraft.

Which is mostly useless if the one escaping is in a defending role. Good job saving the aircraft and pilot. Unfortunately your adversary is now clear to proceed to the actual target.

In war, it doesn't just matter which soldier is better. It matters how quickly they can get to where they are going, how many of them you have to field, and whether they are defending or attacking, and whether they can be easily detected while moving. Different attributes have different values in different circumstances, but being able to field an order of magnitude or more covers up a lot of downsides.

What's more powerful, 1000 trained soldiers with combat gear and automatic rifles, or 10,000 conscripted citizens with hunting rifles? It depends on the specific circumstances.

The challenge is that, at least in the US, these platform have sought to secure themselves the "public space" status through Section 230 immunity under an economic difficulty argument. So, yes they are private entities, but they have been claiming to be public spaces who shouldn't be burdened with this.
Even if you're the CTO of a US company that's being infiltrated by a foreign intelligence agency, there are only three possibilities:

* You are a foreign intelligence asset and and any denials on your part are lies.

* You are not a foreign intelligence asset, but you know that strange things are afoot and have informed the FBI. In order to not jeopardize the counterintelligence investigation, you have been instructed to play dumb, and hence, any denials on your part are lies.

* You are not a foreign intelligence asset and you have not noticed the infiltration. In this situation, you're not lying when you deny that anything's going on, you're just ignorant.

Of course, if your company isn't being infiltrated by foreign intelligence, you will also, correctly, deny that the company is being infiltrated. I'm not saying that his company is being infiltrated or compromised; I'm saying that there's virtually zero informational value in someone in his position denying such a thing because no one would ever admit it.
For anyone interested in the challenges of true wireless charging (i.e., actual wireless, not induction-based), I highly recommend this blog from Paul Reynolds, who formerly led engineering at ubeam: https://liesandstartuppr.blogspot.com

I have nothing against sixel, of course. But to put things in perspective, Sixel support by itself is not great. Definitely more supported than iterm's, but not universal.

But when developing a new program that wants to output graphics to the terminal, OSC1337 is damn easy (you'll likely not need any new dependency or image handling routines), while for sixel you'd probably need libsixel or write your own encoder.

As a developer, I vastly edge towards iterm's handling.
(and to be honest, as a user as well. png encoding is faster too!)

They were wrong and caused the death of an innocent person. And to answer your question, I do believe I have more regard for human life than these people. Reaching for something unknown is not a reason to kill anyone. They had multiple guns trained on him ready to shoot at the sight of a threat, which did not exist.
I've always thought that one of the ways to stop such stupid ideas/companies is to follow the money and potentially black-list the VC's that are helping to propagate a bad idea.

Digging into this on Crunchbase, it turns out that some of the funders behind W3W are HUGE names[0,1]:

* Intel

* Daimler

* Sony

To me, this lends credence to the idea that many investors are either just in it for the money--despite what their mission statements say, or just plane stupid.

I desperately try not to talk about my vegetarianism with others as it is a personal matter. It’s amazing how many people who would never social question another person’s beliefs in say religion feel free to jump in and aggressively debate my dietary choices. “Aren’t plants alive too, etc...”. Prostletyzing vegetarians are I’m sure annoying but on my side I would love the basic respect that other personal ethical choices are given to mind my own business.
There's definitely something to be said for the rate at which you can learn to be a strong developer in SV / similar tech hubs, because there's a lot of good mentors in the area to absorb knowledge from.

If you think PragerU or ReasonTV are "extreme right wing" content, respectfully I think you might be lacking perspective. I would describe PragerU as mainstream within the conservative sphere. Their presentation is almost always high-quality in terms of production, respectful in its delivery, and even-keeled. You might disagree with the content (or their values), or find factual errors, but it is easy to find flaws with a wide range of content producers on the left as well. ReasonTV is even closer to center, and is near-right libertarian, and definitely not extreme right.

As for your experience with recommendations - I am not sure why you would not see recommendations similar to the videos you like. I see videos from multiple ideologies regularly and get content recommended from all of them. I haven't had my feed dominated by one side. What I think is happening is that people _notice_ videos that incense them, and incorrectly perceive it as being dominant when it truly isn't.
Fulcro can be too sizable to consume in one bite, most importantly the three core concepts (ident, query, state). Personally I find it useful to start with just EQL which is an Clojure native alternate to Graphql. In fact, Fulcro's predecessor, the famous Om.next was inspired by Graphql.

Two of the reasons in this era were prioritizing which filesystem you wanted to overflow first, and because you necessarily used network mounts for lots of stuff (home dirs, project dirs, GNU tools, expensive software), even on workstations.

Sun was hugely into NFS, which was both a blessing and a curse -- you'd spend 4-5 figures each on a fleet of workstations with only 105 MB local drives, and they'd tend to all end up hanging frequently, because of a server burp or network burp. It didn't even have to be a burp on a filesystem you were using -- it only had to be (stale) mounted.

(I'm not this old, but I had the excessively good fortune to have access to super-cool computers and Internet as a kid.)
Except we can't in most cases; It's disallowed by vendors. The reason used to justify these arbitrary lockouts? Most users are "more likely to be harmed by allowing" it... Tautology much?
It is a slimy move to wait a week after the wireless charging Airpods were released before announcing this. You can't tell me that Apple didn't know this was coming. What percentage of people who have bought new Airpods in the last week wouldn't have made that purchase if they knew AirPower was never going to be released?

EDIT: Several people are responding that other manufactures make wireless chargers, so what is the big deal? Sure, you are right other options exist. There are also a wide variety of USB-C laptop chargers available that could charge your Macbook. There would still be plenty of complaints if Apple stopped selling their USB-C power brick. Two of the primary reasons people buy Apple products are because of the ecosystem and their standard of quality. Now people are forced out of the Apple ecosystem and must buy a product from 3rd parties that don't have the same quality requirements. What happens when that $5 Qi charge from some noname brand fries your devices battery?

>...their good decisions...

I think saying this is disingenuous. It's not about good decisions. I bet if we looked at these people's portfolios it would be diversified to cover pretty much every bet. They are able to do this solely because they already have money. There is no good decision that me or you could make that would have the same outcome.
Why isn't more effort being put into making these processes safer for civilians?

I think the initial presumption, was that no one would be such a douchebag as to make such crank calls. In today's world, this is obviously a bad assumption. In today's world, we should presume that people are going to make such false assertions, and if there's a way someone can exploit an unconfirmed assertion, someone, somewhere will.

This is also why trials in the media are bad, and why due process is important.

As I suggested elsewhere, what if a plainclothes android could walk up, knock on the door, and calmly ask questions? (While SWAT are out of sight and not yet aiming their guns.) I think this isn't too far outside of our current abilities. Uncanny valley would be reduced in this context. All you'd need is a stone faced, but calm and pleasant demeanor. We already have walking robots, but the walks would have to be humanized. (The Uncanny Valley would be in full force for the body language part.)

EDIT: Actually, you could completely avoid the Uncanny Valley and even eliminate the need for AI. Just make the bottom part from a Segway. The top could be a literal teleoperated Muppet.

It seems like they could have cancelled the multi-device charger and just released a single-device charger branded as AirPower.
It is falsifiable. E.g. you could sever dogs olfactory nerves and repeat the experiment.
Just don't forget about these aliases since GNU grep and the builtin grep can vary in what they support. I once ran into a head-scratching afternoon where `sed` would work with GNU extensions from the command line but not inside a shell script, and it took far too long to figure it out!

> The officers were acting under the impression the man they saw was an unhinged person who just shot their own father. In this case if you saw them reaching for what could possibly be a firearm many people would likely react in a similar manner. Our survival instincts are incredibly strong.

Wow! That’s scary, I thought SWAT was trained to assess the situation to be able to react accordingly. Now I’m afraid to visit the US in fear that the police will kill me just because I look suspicious. I didn’t know they were so afraid to the point of firing their guns in fear of being hurt.
to be honest I was never onboard. I have phone chargers that hold the phone upright and this orientation made it easy to just glance over when texts and notifications popped. If I owned a watch I would want something similar; think how many watches are displayed in a stand up case; to keep the dial easily visible.

plus in the end, the predictions of price were all elevated and in a world of ten and twenty dollar chargers the idea of a product near a hundred or over just doesn't make sense.

edit: will be interesting for those who bought the wireless charging version of the airpods or the case seprately.
The second one isn't that hard for common cases - I've got `grepr` for `grep -r --exclude-dir .git --exclude-dir .mypy_cache --exclude-dir __pycache__`. Adjust as you like for the particular sorts of things you commonly need to ignore.
My issue with a single-payer system in the US is that it won't get rid of the middleman. You are essentially replacing a bunch of insurance companies with one insurance company, which is the government.

Hospitals can now charge whatever they want and the cost continues to skyrocket. This is exactly what has happened with college loans.

I would rather the hospitals have to charge patients directly, which would drastically reduce costs..and then have a smaller layer of protection for people that can't afford it.
Ten minutes? How long does it take to type a user agent string into the curl command line?

> Houses cost what people are willing to pay for them. And when people stop paying what is being asked, the price goes down.

I follow that. Is there a delay in the system anywhere, though? For example, does it take a few years for the price correction to happen? Delays can really mess with a system -- leading to oscillations, etc.
> Houses cost what people are willing to pay for them

The cost and availability of new construction also influences that.
For me, virtually all of those are worth solving through whatever effort is required, as it gains one advantage you can't get on earth:

You're very far away from all the people who can't/won't/etc. go to Mars. For the foreseeable future you'd still be subject to needing resources sent periodically, but this would at least be a pretty limited interface. Hopefully science would be a good enough export to pay for it, otherwise some kind of nonprofit endowment would be needed.
Some basics, and it varies a bit depending on whether you're hiring in India versus Europe/Eastern-Europe. I have found that a certain subset of candidates in India will be very aggressive with the frequency and obtuseness of communication. European and east-europeans candidates, in my experience, will often disqualify themselves by being presumptive about requirements or solutions, or dismissive about confounding aspects. I'm not generalizing overall, but in first/second interactions with remote freelancers on Upwork. This has been very consistent.

(I'm in North America, but have lived and worked in 3+ Western European countries).

Beyond basic technical qualifications, these additional steps have helped me onboard a good sized team of part-time and full-time freelancers around the globe:

* Include 1 very broad, and 1 very specific question in the job posting (don't make them required -- see who answers them of their own volition). You'll get a sense of reading comprehension, and the care someone will use in responding. The questions should not require an essay in response, but neither can they be fulfilled by a templated response.

* For higher level candidates, offer to get on a 5 minute video call and share a calendly/youcanbookme link. Ask for a problem synopsis and see how complete it is, and check how many unclear potentialities get called out in response.

* For lower level candidates, look for 5, hire and onboard 3. In a slack documentation channel, include an on-boarding document with 3-5 steps (update avatar, include available hours in spacetime, post a hello and basic introduction in #general, add themselves to #somechannel, etc). All my keepers very faithfully followed really basic requests. The people who most vociferously wasted my time could've been disqualified at this stage of the game.

For this last step, pay for their time and set a 1 or 2 hour max budget at the start. Don't train or lead anyone through this process. That's not a road you want to spend any time on, because it will become an expansive sinkhole.

I've found that there are plenty of talented professionals out there, but those who can be useful, engaged, remote resources are a special breed. You want conscientious forthrightness.
Something indeed. I don't understand what the issue could be. I have a few $20 wireless chargers that work just fine. I expected Apple to put one in premium packaging and sell it for $150.
The short answer is no. I find people that attempt to do this without having worked in the valley always end up with some milquetoast quality to them that people in the valley can always pick up on. You could maybe fool people who are not from the valley, but you will never fool the valley.

The much longer answer is yes, but I do not have the time to explain it.
Pretty much every hostage / armed-standoff situation that has ended without a loss of life, in the last 50 years. That's probably hundreds of thousands of 'good outcomes'.

'SWATting' as an attack is a problem, who knows what the solution to it is, but SWAT as a concept is kind of necessary in a country with a ridiculously armed populace, and even in countries without such a populace, there is usually an analog for situations that deem a similar response.

Newspaper stories used to have a “dateline” which
gave the place-of-origin and the date the story was
written, usually followed by the writer’s name. The
AP style guide had detailed rules, abbreviations, and even
disambiguation - which Portland, which Springfield?

Nowadays, TV and newspaper web sites frequently make no
mention of the date of a story, and the location is rarely
given. Worse, the geographic area served by the medium
is often maddeningly vague, with general hints like
serving “the five valley area”, or “the gateway to the
Snake Navel river,” or “the tri-county rural-plex”.

Those are nice for the local readers
and the advertisers/chamber of commerce, but for the random
remote internet reader they convey almost no useful location
information. Please, old-media web-site admins,
put your medium’s location somewhere close to the top
of your home page. A state or province, a town, or even
an area-code. Also, get off my lawn.
