I think smart bulbs had a nonobvious way into our homes - pioneering, younger folks with less or no regular income would treat a 30 dollar bulb as a significant investment, a great way to get some social buy-in by augmenting one key area of a locale, one they probably don't own - as a cool place.

And then as the look became popular to have a couple of bulbs sprinkled throughout various dorm rooms, nerd spots, lairs, et cetera, maybe parents relented and bought more for uniformity or even just the same social buy-in with their kids. Whatever it was, it was done a light bulb at a time, and rarely as a lighting improvement project. A smart switch is something rich people buy, but a smart bulb is something everyone can buy.

So we're stuck with this lousy inverted model for a while yet.

i've visited a number of private telephone collections and Don's is absolutely massive by any standard. i can't do it justice, nor can any photo album. but he has, among other treasures, some highlights from my memory:

- autovon equipment
- several generations of digital switches
- electromechanical switches too
- loads and loads of paper documents on compact shelving
- bell labs prototypes
- phones that i never knew existed
- the first switch from Sprint's long distance network

i sincerely hope that he finds homes for all his collection.

Agree, I once had a trip door to door between Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and Haidhausen (Munich‘s Prenzlauer Berg...) in 3 hours and 10 minutes. Everything worked beautifully and by chance I hopped between different modes of public transport in no time... Compare that to a trip from London‘s city center via Heathrow. In 3 hours you might just have worked your way to entering the plane.

About having to leave light switches in the on position…

Your pain has been felt. Searching the web for "smart light switch cover" will find secondary switch plates which snap on top of your existing switch. They prevent anyone from turning the physical switch off, and instead present a switch or dimmer control for your smart home to use.

Much cheaper for people not comfortable with swapping a light switch, and probably much safer for anyone that doesn't want a piece of low end garbage grade electronics from a mystery vendor inside their walls. Actual UL/CE approved in wall smart switches through a trusted supply chain are still kind of pricey, especially since the compatibility wars are still being fought.

I bought a few Hue smart bulbs out of curiosity, and liked it so much that I bought more. I did not buy a smart switch.

First, let’s talk about switching on instead: It turned out that there are a lot of situation where I really want to switch the bulb on using the button. However, you can set up what the bulb should do when it starts getting power, and I set it up to turn on at reasonable brightness. So when I come into a room, I just quickly switch the switch twice (off-on). This works very well.

As for turning off, which was your complaint, it turns out that even as an energy conscious person, I rather want to turn off the light when I reached my destination. Usually, I will at least quickly be on my phone, iPad or laptop anyway, and it’s very easy to flick the control center to turn the light of the room I came from earlier (plus a few others maybe) off.

And while I don’t have a smart switch, I don’t see why you would “remove” any reasons there. One great thing I like about the smart bulbs is that they turn on when I come home, and turn off when I leave. I also have smart sockets by now, and they conveniently cut power to all my entertainment stuff when I leave, eliminating standby power.

The other benefit is sitting on the couch at evening, realizing that everything is too bright right now, and just turning most lights off and dimming the remaining ones from where I sit, not having to get up and go through the entire house.

All this - being spied on 100% of the time - ostensibly to prevent something that has about a 1 in 600,000,000 chance of happening to you, ever. Oh but it must be a real and ever-present danger - I saw it on the news!

By that logic we should have facial recognition too, just to make sure JLo doesn't walk in. She's been all over the news for 20 years, so it must be an epidemic.

The critique in this article focuses on technological unreliability without addressing the profound wrongheadedness of the idea in the first place. Perhaps that's been discussed plenty elsewhere, but I for one could stand to have that part of the critique repeated ad infinitum until it sinks in.
> Yes, governments make mistakes; but most governments work somewhere between “well” and “adequate” most of the time.

Yes, and they could meet that standard with 20% less tax revenue, too. There's zero reason that any government needs 42% of anyone's income.
>Simply stating that "this game copied our idea!" is all well and good; but in a court of law, the case has to be proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

This sounds like patents or copyrights can grant monopoly on an idea. As far as I know, this is not the case. (Well, at least not in principle.)
Whether that’s clearer or not should be a matter of debate. I find the introduction of a function for this a potential source of confusion, when it just serves to turn statements into an expression. But it’s not an unreasonable solution.

However, I’m not sure how this is supposed to be “written far more concisely”? It’s more verbose, involves more different constructs, more levels of indirection - pretty much for any definition of “conciseness“ I can think of, it is worse.

A somewhat recent update to Hue bulbs lets you set up what they should do when they receive power, including the ability to tell them to just revert to the previous state. As stated in another comment however, I prefer them just turning on at (almost) full brightness, as I use the regular switch for turning them on when coming into a room.

Smart bulbs allow the automation of controlling the full color spectrum and intensity of the bulb. Buying smart bulbs only to use them as binary on/off lights is a humongous waste of money.

Pardon the probably stupid question, but is that (splitting into several files) really necessary? Isn't supporting HTTP range requests enough?

Or is it because clients tend to download the whole file, even when the listener is still at the very beginning and might skip, meaning wasted bandwidth?
> I won't use Emacs because I want a smart editor or IDE, not an editor construction toolkit. I have no interest in micro-optimizing my editor.

Pretty much all "smart editors or IDEs" that are available are editor construction toolkits bundled with add-ons which make completed editors using the toolkit for a variety of special purposes, and with an ecosystem (first party and/or community) of additional add-ons available. Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, IntelliJ and its various cousins, etc., all fit the model.

Emacs fits in with the rest in this regard (in fact, its one of the earliest inspirational models for what the field has become, probably the earliest example of the now-dominant model that is still actively maintained and widely used.)
I've got smart bulbs and they're great. We recently did a reno and wanted dimmable leds. The cost to properly rewire the existing circuitry to support low voltage dimming exceeded the cost of the smart bulbs. "Normal" leds with a traditional dimmable switch would have worked, but flickered. Additionally, the cost difference was minimal. So we swapped everything to smart bulbs (2), under-cabinet lights (2), and cans (5).

My dumb switches works fine. I can turn it off when I leave the kitchen. When I return and flick it on it sets it to a default brightness/color. If I am entertaining I can have it pulse with the music or set the mood with a specific brightness/color. When guests visit/stay they have no idea it's a 'smart bulb' and it works as a normal light switch to them.

If I forget to turn it off at night I can turn off the bulbs from my phone. If I'm not in the kitchen and the light switch is off, yeah I can't turn it on, but who cares? A normal switch would be off anyway. When I actually go into the kitchen I just flip it on and it returns to a pre-set brightness/color.

Additionally, the Hues in particular support a wide temperature range. So if I want 'warm' or 'cool' light I can set it. With a normal LED I'd have to pick at the time of purchase.
I'm just replying to the demo animation showing on the front page:

- the user gets a notification from Bárbara, and taps it, then

- the tap triggers Jami to open to the list of all contacts, presented in some order that apparently is not by recency of communication, because

- the user scrolls through the list down to Bárbara, who is below the fold, and whose list entry shows no obvious indication of unread messages

- the user taps Bárbara's entry and goes to the chat pane

- then, the user clicks the phone button to call Bárbara, which is beside a camera icon

- yet the next screen looks like a video call

My take: a person would have to value privacy and openness of source very highly to put up with this unobvious UI. It doesn't seem like it should be necessary to have to trade-off security guarantees for good design in theory, but in practice it frequently seems like that's the choice given.

Thanks for letting me know. I still have one Hue bulb in operation at our current place, though I unplugged the Hub and just deal with the ugly orange. This will be a good motivation to finally update the firmware (which I was avoiding for the past year), so that I can just fix the default color.
>He has to pay back about $175k and go to jail for 4 months.

He also lost his job, has a felony conviction that will harm his ability to find another one and likely paid a fuckton in lawyers fees that exceeded any gain he made.

Not saying this was a fair sentence - I think it was lenient - but the top of the line number isn't the whole punishment.
He wasn’t the global CIO, he was the CIO of a business unit, and the application that was exploited in the breach was NOT under his department.

I worked for him when this happened - he was a smart guy who happened to guess right. He hadn’t been informed of the breach when he traded his options, he just make an educated guess based upon things happening. I don’t think it was right, but it definitely wasn’t malicious. The company could have closed the trading window which would have prevented it.

The worst thing for him is that he would have been made the global CIO if he hadn’t cashed in his options. The money in this transaction is peanuts compared to what he lost there.

Edited: app was NOT in his dept

In Germany non-competes are legal but restricted by law as follows:

- max 2 years

- employer has to continue to pay at least 50% of the salary the employee last earned for the duration of the non-compete.

- cannot non-compete minors

- must provide reasonable argument for the non-compete (hard for interns)

I think this is a good balance.

I'd label it as a music player and a store. You, as a listener, can browse the site and purchase music to add to your collection. Artists are listeners to, so they can do the same thing, but they also can upload their own music and monetize it. Aside from that, it has the basic functionalities you would expect from a site like this: favoriting tracks, creating sets, commenting - the typical stuff.

Honestly, I wasn't sure how to label it myself: I'm terrible with describing things. I'll be sure to give it some thought though.
Maybe that's the point. You can either be more selfish or altruistic.

My Dad spoke very highly of Paul. Bill and Paul were invited to BPA to program a PDP-10 computer to manage power station operations [1].

The affordable housing crisis, explained
While what was going on in the 1960s is indeed suspicious (though it was very obviously a time of political upheaval in the South as a whole, and this may have very well been what was being "reacted" to, more than civil rights themselves!), the 1910s was well within living memory of the war itself as well as the rather problematic "Radical Reconstruction" era. What's more interesting in the chart you link to is the way the monuments drop sharply in the 1970s and especially the 1980s, precisely as the "New South" starts really taking off. Not exactly consistent with the common viewpoint that "politics in the South didn't really change in that time frame, they were always dominated by racism and white supremacy"!

> The fact that it is simultaneously a "hobby" and an "attempt to help activists communicate securely" is emblematic of the whole problem here.

Isn't that the way it usually gets done for most non-profit altruistic efforts, though? If I'm a church and run a soup kitchen for the homeless, the volunteers who come in an prepare meals and serve patrons are probably not going to be trained professional chefs. They are going to be people who just want to help and are volunteering as a hobby to try to do some good.

I'm sure soup kitchens deal with this kind of situation all the time, where you have a volunteer complain about this or that, and then an outsider say that soup kitchen is a shit show. That doesn't mean soup kitchens shouldn't exist. It's just the drama you have to deal with when running a soup kitchen.

For me to have 100% freedom of my property, it must be legal for me to bribe government officials, foreign and domestic, in order to gain an advantage. That's certainly anti-competitive behavior. Competition law, consumer protection law, absolutely limits freedom of property. You don't get to say anything you want about the merits of your product. You don't get to artificially create scarcity in order to drive up prices. To have 100% freedom using my property however I want, I can commit fraud. Clearly anti-fraud laws are in conflict with that.

The world and the US had monopolies well before there were strong regulatory regimes. Businesses variably ask for regulation to give them more legitimacy when they've betrayed trust, and they ask for regulation to create barriers to market entry by competitors, and so on.

I disagree all of the problems are new or that they exist only because of government regulation. The pure free market nonsense is exactly that, nonsense.
