Dude, relax. Can you post proof to the contrary? If you cannot, then your position is indeed weakened. In any case, those links are in line with my own studies at four colleges and universities in Norway. If you can document something that disproves those links, I'd be quite happy to see them! :)
This must vary by location. My box was purchased initially by the neighborhood but is maintained by the USPS. My mom's house gets walk-up service with mail through a slot. Aside from buying stamps or paying to send a package, I have never directly subsidized USPS infrastructure. Excluding the punitive pension requirements Congress uses to make USPS look like a money pit, they'd probably be profitable.
Same in the US. Most bills are structured as diffs to the United States Code.
first time i am using a throwaway account lol. but, hey, i do read the bible on a daily basis or at least try to. i don't consider myself the most "devout" tbh. but reading the bible daily is very easy!

i mean everyday readings comes in my email along with a bunch of other newsletters. i read all that stuff every morning, so it is definitely not hard.
Seems like doing this with a rooted phone would be even sneakier. You've got everything you need built in: battery, modem, etc. When it eventually does get opened, the mailroom person is going to think "oh someone ordered a phone" instead of "holy shit, this bunch of wires and circuit boards is maybe a bomb and definitely something I should tell the police about".

Just got this email from apple:

Dear $firstName,

As we announced at WWDC19, we're making changes to further protect user privacy and prevent unauthorized location tracking. Starting with iOS 13, the CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo API will no longer return valid Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID information. Instead, the information returned by default will be:

SSID: “Wi-Fi” or “WLAN” (“WLAN" will be returned for the China SKU)
BSSID: "00:00:00:00:00:00"

If your app is using this API, we encourage you to adopt alternative approaches that don’t require Wi-Fi or network information. Valid SSID and BSSID information from CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo will still be provided to VPN apps, apps that have used NEHotspotConfiguration to configure the current Wi-Fi network, and apps that have obtained permission to access user location through Location Services.

Test your app on the latest iOS 13 beta to make sure it works properly. If your app requires valid Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID information to function, you can do the following:
For accessory setup apps, use the NEHotSpotConfiguration API, which now has the option to pass a prefix of the SSID hotspot your app expects to connect to.
For other types of apps, use the CoreLocation API to request the user’s consent to access location information.

Learn more by reading the updated documentation or viewing the the Advances in Networking session video from WWDC19. You can also submit a TSI for code-level support.

Best regards,
Apple Developer Relations

Find someone who's out on leave for a while (just look for who's having a baby on IG) and ship the package to him/her! They won't discover it for weeks and you'll have plenty of time for your package to sit in the mailroom or on someone's desk. The danger is when the package is opened, the company may realize they've been hacked.

Or have it there permanently: Ship an executive a fancy illuminated globe or desk clock from the local "Chamber of Commerce". Put a camera and mic in there too to try to get passwords via audio or video surveillance. (Audio recordings of keyboards typing can be surprisingly effective if you have a big enough training set)

That is considered billing fraud. Lawyers are not allowed to apply "multipliers" to time billed to the client if they are billing hourly...unless they are using the multipliers to reduce the time billed. I.e., administrative work is billed at 0.25x of normal rates.

Going along with the tangent, if you're into recent essay collections (as someone who has been very much looking forward to picking up Trick Mirror myself), you might like Impossible Owls by Brian Phillips which came out last year.

Yeah, my main complaint about Webflow is the lack of a standalone tool. Last time I was designing for a client, I was travelling in east Africa, and simply couldn't afford to pay refill cards for the data needed to use Webflow online.

The closest competitor I've found that is standalone is Pnegrow. It is pretty cool, but still not nearly as intuitive and fast to learn as we flow, sadly.
Or you send it to a vendor who has written the code to do that.
I am not sure exactly how Amazon structures the pay for drivers, but even if it is time-based instead of package-based, there have to be >0 packages to deliver for the driver to get paid anything that day.

You guys are still thinking in terms of the phone system with publicly accessible numbers!

In future networks you’ll have to have an invitation path from the user, and if it gets abused you just mute a subpath so those people’s invites don’t result in auto-accepting messages. Simple!

A -> B -> C -> D

D attempts to send a message to A’s mailbox

A’s mailbox automatically accepts the message

If too many messages were sent from the subtree of invitations of B or C, just mute that branch.

Then the others have to jump through hoops like proof of work or pay crypto to be whitelisted and start a conversation to you.

Fixes all SPAM.
You can make this compatible with an email gateway where the invitation is added as an email alias such as “foobar@dontspamme.com” and then emails to and from “foobar@“ would be proxied as messages to the actual non-email system I described, where foobar was the gateway corresponding to the “path A -> B”. It was compromised? Don’t accept emails from any new unknown email addresses sending to that endpoint without jumping through hoops.
Probably better to just get better at using office products.

I do use "programmer skills" in my law practice, but I was a SW developer for 15 years before going to law school. I use emacs for initial editing and I have made some crude "lint" tools that help me proof my documents.

Learning a bit of javascript, perl, python, etc. isn't going to be much use for a neophyte coder in an office full of Word, PPT, PDF, or visio documents.

I lean towards free-speech absolutism, I was against banning Alex Jones for example. However, encouraging violence, as 8-chan does, is not included under even the most expansive definitions of free speech. Nuke it from orbit.

Was wondering the same thing, the developer indicated it does via Twitter: https://twitter.com/contextsapp/status/1138209813714821120
This "egging on" has been going on throughout the centuries, and has mainly been getting more centralized. Nowadays most people seem reasonably decent, but when exposed to a repeated message of "social consensus" will still generally support going to war against a foreign country.

The novelty is that violence is now being mobilized against subcultures within larger society, rather than comfortably against foreign cultures in far off lands. What we're witnessing is the democratization of media-incited violence, from the general democratizing aspect of social media.

Previously, the privilege was reserved for large corporations that paid the traditional media big bucks to support their massive wars. Now individuals can invest sweat equity in a microcult to accomplish the same on a small scale. And the reason we keep hearing so much about it is that the incumbent gatekeepers are not happy about the competition!
Suggestions of 10% here are ludicrous. You won't get that. And you're not a founder.

> I worked extensively over the last 5 months and contributed significantly to major milestones, through which we gained significant traction with client/ VC interest.

Key word: interest.

In other words, you're still pre-revenue and in fact don't even yet have an MVP. And the company is operating on bank of mom.

This is a very, very high risk position to be in. You should ask for 6% and do not take less than 4% plus an executive title. It's not just a title for title's sake, you need to have a seat at the table.

Do your best to negotiate in the abstract, ie don't let familiarity or even friendship with the founders muddy the waters. Use your leverage as "extensive" contributor up to this point. Once you start this negotiation you have to set a time limit (2 weeks?) to complete it and be nice about it but be clear you will not be making further contribution under the old terms. It's 6% or nothing, not 6% or continue for a while longer as you have been doing.

There's no math behind the number. Any math that is out there is just rationalization.

Agreed that the surface area around the out-of-band changes is a concern. We find that educating our users around getting the extension installed team wide is the primary approach by way of policy (in GSuite orgs, you can install extensions team wide) or training (on-boarding docs/new hire orientation). Just as with source control we can commit straight to the main branch, it's through policy/training that we do things like mandatory pull-requests/reviews to not "allow" that. Long term we envision Gold Fig plugging in to your projects as a read-only member to pick up any other out-of-band changes.
Nothing says I am here for a discussion like down-voting a reasonable argument. /s
Yes, this is a design issue, but a very basic one. Simple amplifiers are enough to get bad results.

Easy resharing is, by itself, enough to make rumors go viral. Chain letters and all the other crap you see on Snopes depend on nothing more sophisticated than email forwarding.

Active content filtering (spam filters that work) is necessary, but the platforms that largely replace email don't have them.
To be fair its quite bad in STEM as well e.g http://cs.brown.edu/people/apapouts/faculty_dataset.html

Not a real surprise that MIT, Berkeley, Stanford and CMU dominate CS faculty output.
How would you be able to pull out any information out of an audio recording of keyboard typing? Wouldn't the training set differ between keyboards too? Sounds interesting it it worked, do you have any sources?
I suspect way longer than you think. Ten of thousands of small businesses don't pay attention to that stuff.
The reason people get mostly minor monetary fines for speeding is because we as a society really don't care if people violate the statute so long as they're not being unreasonable about it and it's mostly used as a revenue/probably cause/fishing tool. Ditto for public drunkedness, don't be an ass and it's not a problem.

Speeding, public intoxication, etc. in the typical cases don't have victims because we as a society have decided that we are not victimized by small increase in risk of a negative outcome.

However, writing statues that we expect to be violated and then leaving it up to the cops' discretion is not exactly a recipe for the fairest outcome.
> But in the end, nothing can BEAT^) natives, Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS

^) my edit

Note that Flutter is conceptually a completely different (and more powerful) animal, in the sense that it removes the distinction between the system code ("native") and the user code ("app").

The app basically includes its own GUI library, and only calls the system to do I/O. The OS provides the events and a drawing surface, that's all. Importantly, to the app there is no hidden state to manage (and debug).

So one might argue the reverse (also up to a point): nothing beats having access to your own state, so nothing can beat Flutter.

In theory, yes. In practice, terahertz RF technology isn't here yet. The first terahertz amplifier was made in 2014, it was DARPA-funded, and it's not a simple semiconductor device.
Webflow is different. It doesn't limit to set of templates and their styling, which most other site builders do. It's a GUI layer above raw CSS and HTML, which gives you the ability to build virtually anything. It's an order of magnitude more powerful than its competitors. Webflow's own website[1] is a great example of what you can make with it.

Considering how many marketing departments I have seen struggling to pull someone from the dev team to fix a tiny, tiny change, this is a massive opportunity.

There are fields (recommender systems in particular in my opinion) where you will not get published if you report a strong baseline and your approach does not outperform it, but you may get published if you use weak baselines and your approach outperforms it. This doesn't make sense to me as surely it's possible for promising new approaches to not yet outperform current state of the art methods.

These peer review aberrations incentivise these bad research practices I think.

>there is a noticeable difference between clicking that highly optimized C++ button and going through XML, as seen in Mozilla's XUL or typical web apps.

Really, did you measure it? Since we are, scientists and everything? Where are the numbers?

And how do any differences you've found compare (timing wise) with human initiated action and perception latencies -- like those required to click an on-screen button and see it being depressed?

>as seen in Mozilla's XUL or typical web apps

You see button being pressed time/action as a problem in "XUL or typical web apps"?

(Memory consumption when the drawing is done with DOM, or slow rendering of large scene graphs, I'd buy -- but this is not the model we're talking here, where JS calls a native control directly, and doesn't render through DOM/web rendering).

>I can't even imagine why you'd think that reading and parsing XML and constructing a UI would be cheaper than any other way of building UIs.

Actually that's the way tons of native apps work, from games, to Gnome, to Windows and so on.

Second, if you think the "parsing a XML UI declaration" is in any meaningful way more expensive that imperatively calling a bunch of UI functions directly, you have a distorted idea of what makes a UI slow, or of the time needed to parse an XML file and initialized controls based on it...
Agreed: this is an IBM "offensive operations unit" publicity piece. Key items from TFA:

* TFA quotes Charles Henderson, "who heads up the IBM offensive operations unit."

* "This newly named technique — dubbed “warshipping” — is not a new concept."

* "All of this could be done covertly without anyone noticing — so long as nobody opens the parcel."

A much more practical implementation of this attack vector is the "Malicious Raspberry Pi Power Strip" (article posted in 2012):
https://hackaday.com/2012/10/04/malicious-raspberry-pi-power... Those could easily be shipped to end users who would be pretty likely to plug it in. Add a note in the box "from" the IT department and I bet it gets a very high percentage success rate.
Could you look at the wireless MAC, contact the manufacturer, figure out where it was sold, contact the seller, and ask for sales records?

You get a week's worth of typing; you cluster the sounds; then based on statistical frequency analysis you decode which cluster maps to the spacebar and which to the letter 'x'; then you can transcribe the whole typing history and decide which of all that is a password.
You could just run it in an emulator. And microsoft has written a virtual 8086 emulator for virtual PC. Virtual 8086 mode was just a virtual machine anyway.
Most of the development is outsourced through so many levels it might as well be done on mars. "Hardware design? Yes we do that all here in Germany. Oh about the software? No we don't do software."

Manufacturers still have not realized that the software is crucial and cannot be regarded as a cost-center which needs to be outsourced at the lowest possible cost.

And it's quite obvious that they don't do much testing at all, either (even without knowing they don't, it's obvious). It's the only way how you can end up with for example a reversing camera that practically never works if you start the car in R.
Does it really matter who uploaded it? The manifesto was posted and shared there, and the discussion was encouraged. The issue is with the kind of activity going on in 8chan, not who uploaded it first -- which is an absurd activity of finger pointing.
Only the main question remains: why do you need this if you could simply crack your neighbour's wifi by using a high-gain antenna hidden behind the walls of your own flat?

Tightening Nickel Supply Threatens Electric Vehicle Boom
I’ve worked with offshore dev teams in india, ukraine (2 locations) and romania.

India was definitely the worst. I don’t think we ever reached a point where the work lost to that team (hiring, training, coordinating, spoonfeeding, mess cleaning) was outweighed by actual productivity from them. In other words, I had the feeling that they should have been paying us instead of us paying them.

Ukraine and romania were different. Still many problems inevitable to outsourcing, but at least the ROI made some amount of sense.

Still, I don’t think offshoring is generally worth it. I saw firsthand how the CEO was looking at only half of the numbers (wages) while they weren’t factoring in losses caused by offshoring. I tried to argue this with him at one point, and his argument basically boiled down to: all these big corporations do it, and they can’t all be wrong. I figure all the CEO’s think that.
To be fair, reading your comment again, it doesn't make sense to me why the reselling price to Althea network is 10x the normal price.

I don't quite see why ISP's would treat a commerical subscription to an Althea network differently than a residential network.

Sure, if an ISP knows that the Althean network is trying to optimally squeeze the most out of the backhaul, then it makes sense to increase the price. But in that case, surely an Althea network would never "reveal" itself?
Yep. You can do the same thing sitting outside on the street with a high gain antenna. Or one of the many rarely updated, vulnerability-ridden Android phones that are inside the building in people pockets.
That isn’t a false premise though - look at what a few tech companies trying to undercut one another did to the music industry. Not that artists were making the money before Spotify, but there was a lot more money in the system then than there is now.
