This is what Mozilla has been doing for a while. They enable advertisers and bad actors to profile you without any sane safeguards to prevent websites from running JavaScript code that is used in a nefarious way. If they were actually focused on protecting users, they would be working with IPFS and building other tools to help hide user identities through a permission-based system. Chrome is just as guilty, but it's not like Mozilla is trying to define new web standards to prevent this type of activity. They may as well be working together.

They do have "Cloud hosted" ones available too, which don't need the electronic fob. But I don't know anyone who'd trust their electronic signing keys to "the cloud". ;)

Another solution for the 2.4GHz range and if you have a slightly more advanced router: switch to channels 12 and 13 in low-powered mode. In the US you'll be operating on channels that I would suspect 99% of APs don't operate in by default. Channel 14 is only allowed in Japan - illegal in USA.
My family's done this drive a couple times for vacations. Much easier / cheaper than flying and renting with all your gear, etc.

In the United States I routinely am in the car for 8-10 hours each way to visit family, but most of my daily driving is short distances. I don't want to own two cars.

I agree with you completely - buy the car you want. What I am hearing from a lot of folks here though is "I bought the car I wanted (for most of my driving) but I'm also saying it's the same or better on long road trips"

Other reasons for working at a start-up:

- way less big company type politics

- you won't get lost among the crowd at the big company

- if you join early enough you get to define how work is done, instead of just going with whatever process already exists at the big co

- you will know the CEO personally and have chances to discuss ideas and concerns with them in person, at big co there is zero chance of that

Also, the stability argument is interesting. I've actually experience more stability at the start-ups I've worked at than I have at the big companies. Big companies re-organize often and your manager, manager's manager, etc. might change several times in a single year. Lay-offs happen seemingly willy-nilly for reasons peons will never be told. Start-ups don't have any organization to re-organize, and don't have the people to be continually shifting things around and laying people off.

Big companies have multiple projects running in parallel, waiting to see which one will pan out. If you are working on one that doesn't pan out, it will be cancelled without a second thought (often with lay-offs involved). Start-ups have one project and it better work out or the company dies. It will not be cancelled lightly.

There’s not much time left to develop reversible machines, because progress in conventional semiconductor technology could grind to a halt soon. And if it does, the industry could stagnate, making forward progress that much more difficult. So the time is indeed ripe now to pursue this technology, as it will probably take at least a decade for reversible computers to become practical.

I believe the opposite: companies should wait until performance improvements in mainstream processors have really ground to a halt before investing substantial resources in reversible computing. Otherwise it will be a financial sinkhole like many prior attempts at exotic computing hardware that couldn't make a sustainable profit.

The only path suggested in the article that could be pursued right now involves superconducting devices, requiring cryogenic cooling that will never work for phones, tablets, or laptops. A company would be trying to catch up with a tremendous head start enjoyed by CMOS plus conceding that the new hardware, even fully realized, will never address markets as broad as CMOS.

I've been using Emacs since 2013. The only critical use I have had for eLisp is in my .emacs (configuration) file. That has always been for 'one liners' based on something I've looked up on the web. Often it's copy and paste with a little tweaking.

My only extensive use of eLisp was a three/four week project I did in eLisp in order to learn it. Sometimes I will use ielm (interactive eLisp mode) REPL but usually I am running an another language's interpreter under Emacs and that's the language at the front of my brain.

While eLisp is a great tool, most of the existing tooling is much more mature and stable than anything I might write. And there are good tutorials on the things I am most likely to write such as a mode for some obscure language (but a language has to be pretty obscure not to already have a mode in Emacs). Good luck.

These observations could pertain to any software methodology (Rational unified process, XP, something to get to CMM level 3, etc etc). That is, if a process gets followed without some kind of internalization or understanding or knowledge, that process risks turning into a cargo cult.

Having seen several things (a Telcordia system call "QMO", and an XP system) fairly rapidly turn into cargo cults, I'm not sure what to offer to prevent that. Maybe it's not possible, maybe you have to have a cargo cult for business folks or whoever that don't understand programming.
Like anything you will need to focus on your differentiation and doing what others cannot or will not do. For instance Google requires you to bring your data to them (GCP).

Hold on a second (and thanks for this!).

If I read your document right, it says:

The Company expects that the proceeds available for
distribution to the holders of Preferred Shares,
including the full release of the Indemnity Escrow Fund,
will be approximately $0.5816 for each Preferred
Share (the “Estimated Per Share Consideration”).

And in another portion, it says:

before any distribution or payment of merger consideration
is made to holders of
Common Shares, the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled
to receive $2.66 per Preferred Share (the
“Liquidation Preference”).

And

The holders of
Common Shares will not be entitled to receive any merger
consideration in exchange for the cancellation
of their Common Shares because the maximum potential merger
consideration payable to the Stockholders
pursuant to the Merger Agreement is less than the aggregate
amount of the Liquidation Preference.

Does this indicate that the company sold for an amount low enough that not even the investors recouped their original capital (selling shares at $0.5 instead of the $2.66 they were at least worth according to the liquidation preferences, so overall a significant "failure")? Because if that's the case, it seems completely normal to me that common shares were nullified and it's fundamentally different than saying that shares were extinguished for "no reason" (i.e. out of pure corporate greed), like I interpreted GP's comment.

If not, this is instead a horror story.

C++ and Spark as a Continuum
There seems to be two camps for technology broadly now: "Humans should control technology" and "Technology should control humans." There are some middle camps like Humans should control technology that should control humans like China, but roughly thats still nets out to "technology should control humans".

I'm starting to see designers, whether systems, UX or Eng flavored, as the last defense against the "Technology should control humans" camp, but ironically, they have the most to gain from that camp as well in the middle term, a la China.

I applaud the IEEE for tackling such a high level topic like this and framing it so clearly. As a designer myself, I'm fully in the camp that Humans should control technology, its a tool that should be clear and discrete. This in itself is a key part of "well-being" as I believe the other half results in things such as addiction, abuse, and unwilling control.

However, when it comes to corporate environments, its becoming harder and harder to define humans as the control point, since there are so many corp benefits to putting technology in control. How have you seen this yourselves? Have you come up with defensive tactics or evangelized human well-being? I'd love to know how.

It means they have more competition.

It also means the way the company operates is different. Public markets don't allow (at least they're currently extremely intolerant of) high risk-reward strategies in practice, or cultural weirdnesses.. especially in a major stock. See: Tesla's issues, contrasted with spaceX's "must not be listed if we want to go to mars" stuff.

So, in practice, buying 2015-ipo Uber stock is a different investment to what Uber investments actually were.

Also (possibly the real factor) it goes through different channels. VCs and PEs business is investing people's money in investments they can't just buy on an app.

The funny thing is nowadays if you want your kid to come out of school with less debt disowning them is probably a pretty solid strategy. Either way the kid's gonna have debt but if the school/government thinks you're supporting the kid they'll take your money first whereas if they think the kid's on their own they'll give them financial aid first which preserves your ability to write a check 4yr later and wipe out a lot of that debt. Kicking your kid out of the house at 18 well enough to satisfy financial aid requirements is a hard thing to do though.

I would respectfully ask you to re-read my comment. I did acknowledge that zero-tolerance would be impractical (perhaps not as clearly as I should have) but its the ideal to strive for. A sort of "shoot for the moon and hit the stars" type thing. I think that we need to deter abuse in OSS as a whole. Right now it's a way for developers to vent frustration into a faceless void which is part of where the vitriol comes from I think.

To your point, I think also that practicality dictates an escalating type of warning system such as we see in social networks. You mistreat developers in a forum you get a warning about it, next you can't comment for 30 days, finally you are just banned. If you send a direct message to a maintainer or the like with abuse, you get immediately banned. Something like that. The point is, it's not cool to abuse people who make you stuff for free that you use to earn a living. Just a giant hell no.

And lastly, I would like to tell you that you are dead wrong about assholes being effective leaders. Effective leaders are people who are right more often than they are wrong. Effective leaders have vision. Effective leaders inspire people to be better than themselves. If they also happen to be an asshole that is in SPITE of their success. Not because of it.

> Because some parents would.

Some parents complain about sex ed and vaccination, satisfying the lowest common denominator doesn't really work.

If some kid showed actually NSF-School images, such as nudity, to other kids and it was a first time offense a warning should suffice. If it's a repeated offense then maybe the kid needs psychological help.

Just as a hypothetical scenario, there's the possibility that a kid shows others a picture of for example Michelangelo's David (or similar art piece), do you think that kid should be punished for showing nudity to other kids?

I don't know how I feel about making a device so endlessly hackable a "security key".
Indeed. Whenever you go looking for something you think is already exists, as opposed to stumbling across an object, there is a danger that the parameters of your search will favor your preconceived notions. One will also tend to describe observed objects in terms that tends to fit your theory. I'm not saying that happened here just that it is a danger.

Astronomy/cosmology is one of those strange disciplines where rather than discover new objects in situ, one discovers their possibility in the mathematics and then goes out to find them. So I and many others were hoping that this image was radically different than the math, potentially opening the door to some new theories. Confirmation just isn't as much fun as raw discovery of the unknown. Example: the recent "cannonball star" observations. We are going to need some new science to explain how that is a thing.

If you want performance, buy a sports car not a Tesla. Straight line acceleration has almost nothing to do with lap time compared to the suspension and brakes. You can buy a formula car with downforce for about £15k, admittedly more if you want to take it to tracks and run it healthily.

Also, if you look for "performance" in your road car it just sounds like a recipe for wrapping it around a tree (Or ruining your back: I'm a huge motorsports fanatic, and I'd still probably take a comfortable car with reasonable performance over a "fast" one without fancy suspension to make it comfortable)
It's increasingly the case that your success in life depends on how rich your parents are.

Previous generations had less help from parents. I don't think that's because parents wanted to help less, it's because the kids didn't need the help.

ie, people in the past were more able to find success on their own, without any parental assistance, which is a better system for people who grow up poor.
