Owning a private island definetly requires you to be super-wealthy, but aviation doesn't necessarily require that. My dad wouldn't even qualify as upper-middle-class, and he has a private grass strip for an ultralight. In many parts of the country, 40 acres isn't that expensive (my father paid 40k for the land, the entire place was under 200k. And many airports aren't towered, I guarantee there is an untowered airport within reasonable driving distance if any metro area in the US; most private pilots can't afford hangar space at a towered airport, and the larger airports aren't very friendly to small private planes anyway.

Note however that aviation almost requires you to have at least a middle class income now due to rising costs, even for a homebuilt. Whereas my dad was able to afford a used piper cub in the early 70s while he was a student, with no financial help from his parents.

My bets are that the firmware developers never had a problem because they're JTAG'd, simulated, or running insecure firmware with a built-in back door, and it wasn't until late in the product cycle where the need was even discovered (likely by a QA team.) At that point, this is the best they could come up with.
This connotation is entirely your own reading. Both politically-motivated killings of the sort that may have occurred during the Cultural Revolution, and cultural cleansing no matter how destructive or how close in its goals to erasing any group's distinct cultural values or self-perceived "integrity" as people, are very clearly excluded from the most common definition of genocide as adopted by the United Nations. And while one could definitely make the case that the most rabid haters and vilifiers of so-called "whiteness" (not the same thing, strictly speaking, as "white privilege", which is part of a slightly less radical memeplex) are pursuing something practically indistinguishable from cultural cleansing as described above - and indeed, that this sort of hate and vilification is something we should be quite concerned about - that is, again, not genocide of any sort.

They’ve been showing up in my circles a lot recently. I work in the public sector and we’re pretty much all windows, and that’s sort of the problem with it. Or at least my problem with it. It’s genuinely a great device, I’ll admit that I’m not a Mac power user as such, but the trackpad feels on par with my Mac and the keyboard and screen are better. The fact that it also doubles as a mbp and iPad Pro for things like note taking makes you wonder why it’s not made by Apple. It’s windows though, and I realise that I may be one of the few people who doesn’t like windows 10, but I just don’t. I can’t put my finger on it exactly, I even like CMD and powershell as is, but it just doesn’t sit right with me for some reason.

I’m personally regretting getting a MBP 2018, but the resale value is still so high that it will be able to pay for most of the XPS that I’m considering replacing it with. I’m just really worried that Ubuntu won’t be able to plug and play with my 4K monitor.

If you don’t mind windows, however, I think the surface books are everything the mbp ought to have been by now.

However, they recognised the complexity of the reset process, and that customers may have a more-significant-than-none need for a reset. (A simple example that occurred to me: Lost/destroyed phone).

This video was the result.

A professionally filmed video, even with low needs such as this one, also come with significant costs, as well as the PR fallout when people realise it's absurdly complicated compared to pressing a button with a toothpick. (As well as the support fielding they may have to end up doing).

The BOM cost of the hardware in the bulb is closely accounted for in most products like this, but it seems the cost savings on the BOM weren't accounted for elsewhere.
He cashed almost $1m.

He WOULD have lost $117k. So after all the chips fell, that was his ill-gotten amount.

But he didn't know that at the time. He knew the stocks were going down. How much is anyone's guess. The externalizations of their failure are a multi billion dollar matter. It wasn't a small issue. There was a real potential their stock would plummet.

From his perspective at the time, he was getting almost $1m, which he might not get otherwise.

Furthermore, the reason for the stock going down in the first place was HIS fault. He was the CIO. The information leak was directly on his shoulders.
when people look over my coworkers shoulder and see his 23K HN point count at the top of his screen, they acknowledge hes calling the shots in code reviews.
I don't think he said Microsoft "deserved" to win. He said he regretted that they didn't. But he was totally accountable for that loss.

You might be surprised how laser focus can be just as ineffective and dilettantism. It only works when you laser focus in a place that happens to be the right opportunity. I’d venture that most laser focuses just fail on a longer timeline and maybe with less fun along the way.
I don't see why this is so bad. You just have to follow along with the video for ~1 min. and depending on your lighting setup, it allows you to reset many lights at once without getting a ladder or stepstool and physically poking each one.
I originally bought these because you used to be able to pair them with the hue, but Phillips did some firmware update nonsense where it’s technically possible but you need to repair on power interruptions. So I became very aware of this procedure, until I tired of it and now use the bulbs as “dumb bulbs”

“I want to believe.”

Do you have any evidence for that bold claim?
That's not correct. He gained $550k by selling his stock. That was money he could have cashed out at any time.

By trading on insider information, he saved himself $117k in future losses (though not really because over time, I'm sure the stock will fully recover if it hasn't already). Thus the fine of $117k claws back everything that he gained due to his insider trading.

Plus, an additional $55k in fines. Plus who knows how much in lawyer fees. And then of course a criminal record that won't help with future employment prospects.
Great book. And this was my guess for the ISS too.
Labeled Buttons >> Unlabeled Hieroglyphs >> Morse Code Button >> Morse Code Side Channel

Why do I so often find products where the designers have chosen a less usable option even though size constraints would have easily permitted a more usable option? Here it's debatable, but every time I find a desktop app / website that has replaced labeled buttons with hieroglyphs in a hamburger menu I die a little inside.

Also, while this light bulb is bad, I feel like bluetooth earbuds still take the cake for having the worst interfaces. They combine the undiscoverable and difficult-to-actuate morse code button with a slow, obtuse interactive voice menu and bluetooth's unreliability and incompatibility to create a modern interaction hell like no other.
C levels are making multiple millions per year and could retire anytime. They don't need to get a new job.

The $1M from this sale alone is about what many people would earn in an entire lifetime.
The restitution was exactly equal to the profit (and there was a fine imposed on top of that). If he had made $1m instead of 117k then he would have been made to pay back $1m. Your assertion that the restitution structure would have allowed him to pay back less then the amount he profited by is nonsensical.

The person in the video actually doesn't follow the timing precisely, repeatedly turning the bulb off after ~7 - 7.5 seconds. I wonder what tolerances are on timing in the firmware?

He had to pay back everything he earned due to the insider trade plus $55k in fines. Plus prison for 4 months and a permanent criminal record. Doesn't sound like a slap on the wrist for trading on inside information.

But I don't disagree that lots of other crimes are way overcharged.

This idea that you can find any multicellular organism without any dependency on another organism is without merit. One cannot achieve a "pure system." At the very least, evolution depends on variation within the genetics.
A company could achieve quite a big market share, but it's nearly impossible to hold it for a longer period of time without a government's protection.

It's a simple common sense: either you continue to provide the best service, and gain nothing from your market share, or you start to milk the consumers to squeeze more profits. The greed would simply mandate the latter strategy, hence monopolies don't last.

>what about classic monopolies like standard oil or northern securities company?

The former wasn't a monopoly at the time of anti-trust case.

>Standard Oil’s share of the market had declined from close to 90 percent in the late 1800s to about 65 percent at the time of the court’s ruling

The latter was operational for how long, less than a year?

>so does that mean that googles search monopoly, or amazons almost soon-to-be monopoly are cause by the govt?

>isn’t it more like monopolies that are allowed to survive do so by the ‘protection policies’ of the govt?

No, it's the monopolies which actively exploit the government, especially amazon.

>back in the days of near zero regulations huge monopolies continued to walk the earth

Examples? For example before the deregulation, there were only 6 breweries in the whole US. After deregulation their number grew.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E3bPU0g8SA

Regulations are burden: they increase the entering threshold leading to monopolization. You also need a regulatory agency, which is either run by bureaucrats who don't understand much in the industry (hence not adequate laws) or the industry people (hence regulatory capture).

And anti-trust is no different here, the standard oil history is a great example of how it punished a non-monopoly.

Microsoft picked up much of the functionality in OneNote. Even if the cut and paste between other MSFT apps is awful, once you have Office it’s kind of hard to justify paying for something else. Seems like an old pattern resurfacing.
My impression from the article was less that they'd personally made the decision hostile world governments were their adversary, and more that they'd ended up looking after some poorly-understood software none of them really knew how to change that made that decision 20 years ago.

How to create a custom Ubuntu live from scratch
Stop buying smart bulbs. It’s an absolutely horrible idea from beginning to end. What people want is a way to switch a lamp on and off. For that you need a smart switch. For it to work you can’t have a dumb switch in your wall first - because when the dumb switch is in the “off” position, the smart lightbulb doesn’t work!

What do people that buy smart bulbs do, tape their light switches in the “on” position so you can no longer use the most convenient way to switch off? Or do they eventually get a smart switch also thereby removing the need for a smart bulb (yes I know there is things like dimming and rgb, but let’s face it the killer application of smartness is switching).

If someone had pitched the hue to me 20 years ago I would have laughed. But apparently I misjudged what people want - so why are they popular? Has anyone met everyone that said “I switched all my bulbs to smart ones with dumb switches and it’s great”? Sorry for the rant but I just feel that this isn’t what’s stupid about smart bulbs. The idea itself is fundamentally flawed or I completely missed the point.

I like the look & feel and the technology seems to work just fine.

But I don't really understand what the texts want to tell me.

- Is this for people who like to listen to music (a music player)?

- Is it for people who like to create music where they can upload and sell it (like a store)?

Somehow I have a feeling it is both, but 'music delivery service' feels to me like an abstract term (what is the difference to 'website for sharing music'). Might be worth iterating over those parts again.

Nevertheless, cool project :-)
> Depends on the use case.

Indeed it does. At her last-1 job, my wife could probably do most of the spreadsheet-related stuff in GSuite, except for that one spreadsheet that brought desktop Excel to its knees, and would totally explode the browser if you've ever tried it.

My experience from watching other people and occasional summer jobs is mixed. Some of the stuff you technically could manage on GSuite. Others you wouldn't, not because the files were too big/complex, but because the office computers were underpowered.

Sure, I can admit that I was wrong about his "net profit" for his crime, because that number was eyeballed.

However, the pedantry I made myself vulnerable to doesn't really change my point that he's getting a disproportionately easier sentence than a drug offender would get.
> I'm not saying he's escaping unscathed - I'm saying he's getting away RELATIVELY unscathed compared to what lower-income convicts go through.

Makes sense. I’m totally in agreement here.
I think that's not an accurate description. He avoided $117,000 in losses by trading on inside info. The gain is just sale price - purchase price. If he hadn't traded on insider info, he would've been able to gain $500k - $117k since Equifax stock did not go below his purchase price.

So he had to pay back what he avoided losing plus $55k, plus serve time. I think the monetary fine is pretty low, but the gov't is not stupid - they made sure he came out negative.
Most are processing information and communicating. A CEO may have a goal. It takes and army of middle managers to break that goal into actions for individual contributors, and communicate progress against it. And then they work on process improvements to make the above work better. It’s a mix of analyzing, meeting and communicating.

The architect, Meinhard von Gerkan, wrote a book about it, Black Box BER, back in 2013, after they were fired in 2012. It's a bit self-serving, unsurprisingly, but highlights some of the issues arising when you change plans mid-construction.

For example, an airport has very carefully designed zones: land-side and air-side (after security), Schengen and non-Schengen (after immigration), staff and non-staff, etc., that must be separated. It also has carefully considered passenger flow, escape routes, fire sprinklers and smoke vents, etc.

Then, after all is agreed and construction had started, the airport company requested much more space for retail. That's obviously going to lead to problems.

One thing I must say, though: I am glad that the officials responsible for fire safety are not afraid to deny certification. There was a fire at DUS (Düsseldorf Airport) in 1996 in which 17 people died. So, good job in standing up to the immense pressure.

I have a button on my keyboard (F16) that turns on every smart light in my apartment. I also have a button on my keyboard (F17) that turns on the two lights in my "bedroom" in red colour and then fades them out in five minutes. This allows me to still see around when I turn off the monitor, but doesn't require me to go hit the light switches in the bedroom before and after.
I agree, but you can't resell smart switch over and over again. ;)

Sure. The site is billed as a delivery service, thus you're able to upload music (that you have the rights to) and monetize it. You could, of course, opt to give away your content for free; there's no requirement to login or perform an action to download a free tack. The site does allow remixes and mixes, but they have their own rules.

In terms of interaction, it's similar to SoundCloud. I've been using SoundCloud for years - just right after they transitioned to their V2 site. I've also used Bandcamp for selling my own music, and always felt their approach was transparent and fair when it came to monetization. When I started this project, a little bit of both went into the design and structure.
