When I had a black Lenovo X1, I glued a single sticker in the center (a silver cutout of the Imperial Sigil from Star Wars) and stuck all the “other” stuff (conference logos, mementos, etc.) to the underside.

This was part of a long-running joke about my joining the Dark Side (I work for Microsoft), and was all the individuality my laptop really needed.

My last work MacBook had the same sigil stuck under the Apple logo (back when it was lit) and a couple of other stickers on the underside as well, just so I could single it out, but I never really went for glueing lots of stickers to my machines, and these days I carry a Surface Pro (which folds at the back) or a Surface Laptop (which I like for its clean looks), so stickers are mostly out (I make do with a big high-res Stormtrooper close-up photo on my login screens, which are usually the first thing people see when I set up for a presentation :))

I like the idea, though, and wonder if I will end up combining it with a large decal of some kind. Printing a partially opaque monochrome image on that big a Surface (pun not intended) is... interesting.
That's really interesting! Would you be able to point me towards some resources to learn more about this?

I think it might be as simple as a driver will not generalize about drivers, because they are one. They might generalize about categories of drivers, but not all drivers. A driver that is also never a cyclist is free to generalize about all cyclists without including themselves.
A package manager would be designed to remove any non user hostile features. Intentionally hostile behavior would be unaffected. One might hope that the packager, the person that is, might have refused to include software from incompetent or hostile developers.

Something an app store due to volume and default allow pending mostly automated checks has a problem with.
Not to mention you can get software that is unlicensed on npm, and god knows what gets pulled in when you use cargo or any of the smaller ones. This is a gigantic clusterfuck for those who are interested in using free software that encourages the user to be aware of the importance of free software.
How do you define an expensive developer though? I mean in academia you have paperwork to prove it, but what are the criteria for distinct here?
It's invalid to imply that they are the only one with bad practices. That angle is designed to turn the general population against a single entity, without context, akin to a witch hunt.
Er, sorry, ironically bad wording on my part. There was a sibling comment calling out the OP for self-promotion and I was trying to suggest an alternative wording that might have avoided that. Not really "politeness" more like... "cordial self-promotion?"

I think you are missing my point. YC model hasn't changed probabilities of success for startups too much. It has, however, democratized who can do startups. I don't have to have friends in VC circles, I don't need to visit dozens of VC offices, I don't get term sheets that takes away 20% of my company, I don't have board members who dictates and vetos over my vision. This is a big deal and huge improvement over older model - it's not just "different".

Chrome Developer Tools shows the preflight request in the network tab, as it does every other request. It's even called out as being part of the same communication, if you group by communication instead of sorting by timestamp. What's not clear is why it's necessary sometimes and why it's not, where you have to dig into a mix of history and security policy, and do a bit of threat modelling.

I won't be able to read the paper, but from the abstract it sounds a bit like a blackboard[0]

"a common knowledge base, the "blackboard", is iteratively updated by a diverse group of specialist knowledge sources, starting with a problem specification and ending with a solution. Each knowledge source updates the blackboard with a partial solution when its internal constraints match the blackboard state. In this way, the specialists work together to solve the problem"

I can't see the term Blackboard used in the paper. Probably irrelevant but just an observation.

> "nobody becomes somebody due to external event"

Pixar, StarWars, Lord of Rings, Harry Potter and virtually most other big banners use "nobody becomes somebody because they were already somebody" formula. Give it a close look and you will find lead characters in these movies didn't actually worked for their super powers or earned special status. Luke can become Jedi not because he worked for it for his whole life but because he was born that way. They were already special but put in difficult circumstances which made them not look special. But eventually they overcame and their "specialness" poped out anyway. People identify with this template because everyone thinks they are special and supressed because of external circumstances. Movie with a message that you are just as normal as anyway and you have to put years of grit to be successful - this typically doesn't go well with most audiences.

15M Android Devices in India Infected, Check Point Research Claims
Thank you everyone for this little thread. This is exactly what I am looking for when I read the comments to a video link!
You got that right. I'm from Georgia and when I bought a new car I had to get firm with the sales guy wrt no stinking stickers.

But I'm in CA now and no one has stickers; the tactful substitute is a "complementary" plate bezel with some dealer details on it (name, city). Those are subtle and I kind of like seeing where people are from.

Back in GA we have very legible county (2cm font) stickers on all the plates so that's how to geo-locate other cars there.
Those stickers match pretty much the product-tester-pack you get from sticker-mule for 1€.

"A government bond issued in the countries own currency has no risk of default"

That is very far from correct.

The first workaround also crossed my mind, but it had a couple of drawbacks. First, it required contractual work with a CA and they can easily say: it's not our problem, it is the browser. The amount of time required to set this up would be around a year, maybe more. Also, like you said, it is fragile.

The second workaround I didn't think about. Do you mean we'd change the resolver to resolve 'local.yourcompany.com' to 127.0.0.1 on the local machine? That would work, but would introduce quite some extra latency and add some fragility.

I've seen no evidence of true repentance here.
They get to put it in the pile of completed cases and not have to start a long process of figuring out what's what. I have had similar experiences.

One time I even included in the report the full photo ID of the driver, the name and phone number of a witness, and I got a letter back saying "We're not investigating this case further for two reasons: 1. lack of evidence, 2. not knowing whether there's a traffic camera in the area." I called the witness and they had never been contacted by the police. And why is it ever a reason that they don't know whether there's a traffic camera in the area? Can't they at least just check that first and then say that there is no traffic camera in the area??
As has been mentioned before, that's not how it works. Your desire to be laid off is (often) an incentive for the company to keep you on. Eventually, you'll tire of waiting and do the reasonably thing (financially speaking, from the company's perspective) and resign.

If you're unhappy, develop your exit strategy. Do not dally, do not add to your discontent, do not make your own life more miserable in hopes of some payout, or favorable employment status, or some sort of guilt free closure. Go for what you want and accept the consequences.

FYI - mainly sharing based on my personal experiences. I do not know your situation nor the source of your desire...

Hollywood has often claimed to be in the process of dying. While I think the current content is mostly boring, it still generates profit. Predictable scripts but the industry demands it like this. Remakes are popular because they have a somewhat predictable return of investment because they provide a fanbase from the start.

If engagement suffers further, movies are going to change again. But on the other hand rehashed content is always new content for new generations.
I would hate to be in a situation where anyone could profit billions of dollars if I die or can't access a computer. People have certainly been murdered for less money than that.
Second most doesn't mean anything when you're talking about three arrangements, realistically.

I would like it to be true that solo founders have just as much chance of success. I have been unable to find a cofounder for years, and I am not biased against solo companies. People are unpredictable, and even wildly successful companies have some disheartening back stories. I've learned that from books like Idea Man (Microsoft) and Masters of Doom (id Software) where founding members got screwed by morally challenged cofounders. In the case of id, Tom Hall received nothing from id in the end, and forfeited all of his equity when he was fired. Because they decided he wasn't needed anymore, despite him being there from the beginning through the tough times.

But it stands to reason that you are better off if you can find someone who is honest and is going to work hard with you, simply because two heads are better than one. When used together at least. Emphasis on honest, I would rank trust and ethics over experience and intelligence.

If you can't find that person, and you are determined, then may as well go ahead and go it alone. You only live once. Just realize the odds are stacked even higher against you. You are only lying to yourself if you refuse to accept that truth.

And you can be a cofounder of a successful company, but still fail miserably and have it all taken away by a bad cofounder.

Absolutely. But even the flattest earplugs aren't flat because not all the sound goes through the canal they plug up. Bass conducts through your whole body so you end up with 110dB of bass, 90dB mids/highs, 70dB noise. The unattenuated bass isn't damaging your ears, but it makes a non-flat experience.

This is why I recommended some -12dB earplugs in another comment.
Small folding e-bikes solve that “last mile” problem for lots of people.

They allow people to quickly reach mass transit hubs when none are near by, fold up and hop on. What’s missing is normalisation and support from transit providers.

I’d add, that it would be nice if Google/Apple would add multi-mode transit routing for maps so that you could tell when it’s quicker to cycle direct and when it’s quicker to cycle to a station and catch a train or bus.

>There are a million reasons why people put stickers on laptops. And also a million why people don't.

Well, let's not get carried away. There are a handful of reasons at best:

1) they feel the laptop is drab/empty and want to decorate it

2) they are fans of an artist/band and want to promote it

3) they want to broadcast the world the company they work for and/or their choice of frameworks and tools

4) they want to cover some scratch

And that's pretty much it

Requiring user confirmation for updating malware signatures would make them a lot less effective.

And in any case, there is a checkbox in the software update preferences labelled "Install system data files and security updates" which presumably allows you to opt out of these critical security updates.
