Hey! Author here. After talking to folks who have taken on similar projects at their jobs, I realized there wasn't much discussion around how to happily pull off a UI refresh or redesign, and I wanted to share the philosophy we used to make ours a success. Happy to chat and compare notes about how folks have executed similar projects.
Maybe buy-your-own-tools hackerspaces are the way forward. This would also generate revenue and presumably facilitate the mushrooming of new hackerspaces.
Wonder if progress on reversible computing tech is being stymied by the NSA's own ambitions in this area? They have an annoying habit of plucking promising talent out of non-classified R&D environments that they feel would be useful for maintaining the computational competitive edge that they need in order to keep ahead of the rest of the world. They have done this for decades in areas like VLSI design and cryptography.
> Edit: just because it’s pretty doesn’t change the fact it’s vandalism.

Also, just because it's vandalism doesn't change the fact that it's pretty. You said you don't like Banksy any more, that has multiple meanings. You don't like his art, or you don't like him as a person? Because the former would be unjustified. As for the latter, you could say that Banksy (not the guy that vandalised your gf's truck) actually adds value to the objects he paints on. So maybe you should have disliked him at the beginning, but should like him now even more, as a benefactor?

One major issue that you're glossing over is that Alexa is easily triggered, even when no one explicitly says "Alexa". So audio clips of private conversations are being sent to Amazon.

Actually, this particular black hole is (probably) not exactly spherically symmetric but only axisymmetric since it is rotating (i.e. it is a so-called Kerr black hole). But disregard the lack of spherical symmetry for a moment (it can still be approximated quite well by a sphere for our purposes, see below), the crucial points are the following:

1. Along with its rotation comes the fact that the black hole drags the surrounding spacetime along with it (whatever this means), including matter. So matter near such a Kerr black hole will start orbiting it automatically. Closely related(×) to this is the fact that, in the close vicinity of a black hole, you typically find a so-called accretion disk of matter that is orbiting the black hole and slowly being eaten by it, while also emitting light because the infalling matter is heating up in the process. Now, the important point is that the disk is really a disk, though(!), meaning that it doesn't completely surround the black hole in all directions, so there are (lots of) angles from which you could actually "look at" the black hole and your view would not be (entirely) blocked by the matter (and the light it emits). I hope this answers your question as to whether the light "should not […] be all around it".

2. In the case of M87 it seems like the axis of rotation is pretty much parallel to our line of sight, meaning that we're actually looking at the black hole "from above" and that our line of sight is pretty much perpendicular to the accretion disk surrounding the hole. In particular, this means we get to see the accretion disk and the black hole's "bald head" in their full glory. Moreover, since we're looking at the black hole "from above", its slight deviation from spherical symmetry doesn't matter and it still looks like a disk to us due to its rotational symmetry in the direction in which it rotates. (Think of how a cylinder looks like a disk/sphere from above.)

(×) To be precise, infalling matter often carries angular momentum (as measured with respect to the black hole's location), i.e. it doesn't fall into the black hole exactly radially but rather sideways, possibly after having orbited the black hole multiple times. This means that when it finally gets absorbed by the black hole, the latter will absorb the matter's angular momentum, too, and start spinning.(××) So the rotation of the black hole, on the one hand, and of the matter outside, on the other hand, are tightly coupled phenomena and disentangling what came first is a "chicken or egg" kind of problem.

(××) Side note: Infalling matter transferring angular momentum to a black hole is the reason why we expect most, if not all black holes in nature to carry angular momentum, i.e. to be of the (axisymmetric) Kerr type instead of the simpler (non-rotating and perfectly spherically symmetric) Schwarzschild type.

'Extinguishing' aside, there are ways to essentially devalue shares, simply by offering up a lot more, at a low price to current investors, thereby washing away the relative value of old shareholders.

Once investors do this, they can take control of a company, and even issue new equity to current employees to keep them happy.

This is a tricky thing in normal scenarios because obviously the shareholders getting wiped out might sue, unless they are 'in on the deal' and coughing up more money. There are legal obligations around valuation as well, it can't be 'made up'.

But if a company is effectively bankrupt, then the board can basically nullify old shares by making them worth 'near zero' and issuing new shares cheaply.
“Наркотики” for illegal drugs and “лекарства” for legal. I realize that the first one translates literally as “narcotics”, but it is used in russian language exactly like “illegal drugs” is in english.

On a side-note, until I saw your reply, I didn’t realize how bad it was. It is absolutely crazy to me that something like “acetone” would fall under this law. Thanks for posting a concise summary.

For talent as in demand as elite engineers, your's or your team's network is critical. Following that, paying a recruitment firm is runner up, but its a big step down from network (and a big step up in cost).

During the early days of my previous company (which currently has a ~30 person engineering team), the founding team scoured our networks, reached out to people personally, and did everything we could to share the inspiration we felt about the company. That plus fair compensation, allowed us to bring on some awesome people.

The good news is elite talent tends to know other elite talent, and if they love the company, they become natural evangelists. A generous referral bonus also helps, however means nothing if your people don't already love your company. The end result is this attracts more talent!

Occasionally we'd supplement this with recruiters, but our network was 5x more efficient, and wayyyy less expensive even with referral bonuses we paid to employees.

I'm in the process of starting my next company, and while I'm not hiring engineers for another 6+ months, I'm meeting with everyone in my network and anyone they recommend to let them know about the company. People are already excited, and it's also just plain fun to meet smart people and catch up with friends. From there, I keep people in the loop and also try to support them in their endeavours. This leads to a lot of 'serendipity', where your company is top of mind for people as they plan their next move, which hopefully aligns with when you're hiring.

Now compare that to a random job post or inmail message on LinkedIn.
Do you know where that first term comes from? It's strongly related to the second.
> The Policy Host DNS name is constructed by prepending "mta-sts" to the Policy Domain.

All the adopter has to do is set:

or

mat-sts.his-domain CNAME HOST-NAME-OF-MAIL-HOST

And the mail hoster can take care of the reset, including getting a certifiacte for mat-sts.his-domain, and hosting a web server.

It's just more DNS records.

I was in that general area. I was in a farmer's field that had sold overnight parking spots for $50, and allowed sleeping in your car. Here's where it was [1].

I heard the first cars starting to leave the instant totality ended.

I waited until about 4 PM to leave, but still got seriously bogged down on 26 heading north only a mile or so away. It stayed bad through the reservation, then got pretty good until it turned to stop and go for large parts of the way through Mt. Hood National Forest. Cleared up well before Portland and was doing great up until Washington, at about 7 PM, where it was crappy most of the way to Tacoma. I'm on the west side of Puget Sound, so that's where I split off to 16, which was fine. It looked like 5 going from Tacoma to Seattle was still terrible...and this was something like midnight.

I see how you are using "free speech".

Not sure what you mean here. If Jewish person were allowed into restricted clubs, and people could talk to them and evaluate them on their character, then the true spirit of Free Speech would have been served by this. If a woman would be allowed into the old boy circles, allowed to succeed on her own intelligence and merits, then the true spirit of Free Speech would have been served by this.

Free Speech is important on a purely Epistemological Basis. Sometimes, it's the unpopular ideas which turn out to be the important ones. So long as we can protect Free Speech and the Right to Hear, the unpopular ideas can have a chance to be heard.
True, but I think they are both symptoms of skimping on medical care, which I don't think people should have to do in general. (I would be happy to pay more taxes to make that happen.) I especially think people shouldn't ration medical care where I work; I suspect the median annual income here is closer to $200k than to $100k.

When you are sick, don't go to work. If there is any question of if the doctor can help, talk to the doctor. (Via phone or video chat, if necessary)

Agreeing that relevance and importance are important isn't political.

Nor is journalism.

Nor is transparency.

We can't make everything "political" simply because we lack the will and wherewithal to approach it otherwise. The willingness to give "political" that much importance is simply another symptom of the problem. We're lower expectations i instead of raising them. We're rasing to the bottom, for what? To look "political" in the face, eye to eye?
That's an admirable goal. No idea about Ann Arbor but I suppose the first step in herding cats is finding or attracting them. Figure out what they want (other cats, fun toys, bonus lives) or where they live and maybe go pillage the local hackerspace/academic/arts crowds for characters. Intellectual social clubs like botanical, aeronautical, mushrooms and so forth can also turn up interesting types.
For now, we recommend having an enterprise policy for the browser configured. That is the best indication we have that the browser configuration is managed and this kind of issue might occur. We're also open to recommendations from admins on other things that might clue us in that we're in this situation. Finally, we're discussing the possibility of establishing a network standard that signals more strongly that "name shadowing" is occurring... like maybe there's some DNS response that can be configured locally that we can look to proactively and then disable DoH.

That would be great. I've seen too many people coast off of prestigious degrees, while other hardworking people struggle because they do not have the same access to quality education.

Note, that OP isn't suggesting that the educational process be centralized. Just the funding.
Unlike K-12 public schools, universities will still maintain full autonomy on how they want to go about teaching or structuring curriculum.

European countries offer free education, and their quality is still great.
Tim Pool was falsely tarred by the SPLC as a speaker at a Holocaust Denial conference. The only citation given by the SPLC for this was an unvetted web page from a white supremacist website. Turns out, this was (yet another) bald-faced lie.

So much of enterprise software is awful and successful because of "industry standard" brand recognition, platform integrations, and buckets of money to outspend upstarts.

Salesforce is a prime example, which until Lightning rolled out in earnest late 2017/early 2018, had UI and UX that killed productivity (and employee happiness). There were and still are tons of alternatives that are better to use, however, can't unseat the giant. Platform is a huge reason for this, however, is only one factor.
It'd be indeed nice if this was open source. Having a server yourself somewhere using a VPN that you could run some stuff on while working on a slow laptop would be nice.
The main argument should be that the OS controls what DNS is used.

The user of the OS can then set their own DNS. If applications just ignore this and use their own it takes away power from the user. Sure Firefox lets you turn it off, but a lot of people won’t bother.

MTA-STS policy suggestions do not seem like a serious differentiator for Enterprise GSuite.

Secondly: it'd be awful nice for ease of deployment if GSuite would just like, host that policy file for me? That way I still need to set 2 records (the TXT record and a CNAME), but at least I'm not in the business of hosting HTTP.

Everything for working with Emacs is baked into the environment.

By that logic, any device with a microphone and potential to record should not exist.

Smart speakers are not telephone calls, and even if they were, federal law only requires consent of one party to record (11 states require all-party consent).

In public spaces, you generally lose any right to consent to recording. If you're in someone else's home and they record you with their smart speaker device, then your beef is with that person whose private property you're being recorded on. Same as if they were recording you with their phone's camera in their private residence, vs recording you in a public space.

I don't know why you think people aren't paying for data. I pay for data every time I pay my cable/internet bill, and every time I pay my cell phone bill. Both even refer to what I'm purchasing as "data", unlimited data in the case of broadband, capped 5gb/month in the case of my cell plan.

What you describe from the early internet days is simply the transition from data plans that charged by units of time instead of a flat fee.
