I'm partly speaking out of my ass from second-hand experience 10 years ago but...

Wavelet-based codecs turned out to be much harder to implement in hardware that fourier-transform-based ones (for which we have FFT!). That disincentivized development, which is why you only have Dirac (an open-source, non-HW-industry-backed effort) that uses it.
Exactly. So the police and government were never able to catch criminals before 1990? Terrorism or kiddie porn are just red herrings to scale people into giving up control. When someone asks for this kind of backdoor, I want to ask them to hand me their unlocked phone. "But you have nothing to hide, right? You aren't breaking any laws, right? I promise not to share this information with anyone!"
A few edge cases don't discredit the general case that physical presence is mostly useless for programmers.
I wouldn't.

Which is why I view the situation as hopeless, but not serious.
I used to maintain a couple of systems that between them were around 4 million lines of C++. Initially, in 2004, it would take about 16 hours to do a clean build. By the time I left that job, due to better hardware, precompiled headers and reduced dependencies, and smaller code for same functionality, clean build was down to 45 minutes.

The biggest winner, in my experience, was reducing dependencies in headers. Use forword declarations, etc. Precompiled headers helped a lot on Windows, but less so on Linux for the same code (but it still helped).

Incremental builds were fairly snappy, a minute or two (pretty good for a large C++ project).

What industry are we talking about? Most commercial real estate used for offices spends almost nothing on marketing (they put a sign in the window perhaps).

I don't think SaaS is at all relevant. Typical SaaS gross margins are upwards of 60%. WeWork's gross margins are under 10%.

Edit: found a source[1] that states "5% of broker’s cut is standard" for commercial real estate marketing expenses, with a broker getting about half of the commission which is around 2.5%. Even if you went with 10% of a 10% commission rate that would only be 1% of the total.

I'm not sure how reliable this site is but in general, it is accepted that most luxury German cars have reoccurring issues. The reason why I say "accepted" is because in most cases, they are pushing cutting edge technology and with so many parts, something is going to give.

I do not know common Mercedes issues but with BMW SUVs the most common issues are plastic parts near gaskets (leaks), electrical systems, and ventilation (especially in X3).

Of coarse there are exceptions and not all cars are created equal but this seems to be the consensus year after year.
They can't read my no-index if they obey my robots.txt. Do they break the robots.txt to be able to read my no-index or do they assume my "Disallow: /" means I'm fine with them indexing/linking?

Without the noindex part of robots.txt (which google decided to ignore not so long ago) this is not solvable.
Exactly like, except for the lack of windows and insulation? Obviously those can be added, but it takes a plasma torch, not a hammer and a saw, unlike traditional building materials.

I've hurt my ears at more than one occasion because of this. It's surprising how loud a porcelain lid can be.

Here's the post you're referring to: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/979583605637877760.html

The TL;DR is that from his calculation the lid dropping could generate noise at 138 dB, and hearing loss happens at around 140 dB.
It's not a niche edge case, there is an entire industry that revolves around securing BYOD devices. If I bring a compromised device on your network and it uses some rdp flaw to access another machine it's gotten a foothold in the network where it could spread further. I don't need code execution from an existing internal resource.

And yes, security is a layered approach. That's why we recognize that the internet isn't the only threat vector out there.

Edit: Why wouldn't you patch internal servers for this anyway? Let's say there is an existing threat with code execution like you say. Now he can trivially access all machines on the network because they share a common vulnerability. At least make him work for it.

From the linked thread:

"""
5. The stupid toilet bowl lid only fell about 8 inches. How could it damage my hearing so badly? I looked up the speed of sound in ceramic, divided by the length of the toilet bowl lid (and divided by 2 since the fundamental vibration is a half wavelength). This predicts 3.5 kHz.

6. This frequency is in the audible range. Using the short dimension of the toilet bowl predicts another (higher) frequency. The toilet bowl lid probably resonated at both those frequencies and their harmonics, putting all the energy into just those specific wavelengths.

7. The toilet bowl lid was not chipped or damaged, so the impact energy went mainly into sound (& internal heat) Maybe like half the impact energy went into sound energy. This lid was concave up like an antenna, near my face when it hit, focusing the energy into my face.

8. The energy travels into your inner ear and the cochlea. The pressure wave is strongest at some distance down the cochlea depending on frequency. Since the toilet bowl lid put all the energy into SPECIFIC FREQUENCIES, it was concentrated onto specific spots in the cochlea.

9. Apparently, this concentration of energy was enough to damage the hairs -- to bend them over like trampled grass -- and I was concerned it could be permanent. My hearing was only slightly better the next morning. It was like everybody was still talking at me through kazoos.

Thanks for the feedback, you bring up some really interesting points.

1. I think what you're saying (and please correct me if i'm wrong) is that we could go after people who aren't about to buy a home but who already own a home and may want to sell it in 2-3 years. That is actually something we already have done and are open to doing more! We could certainly make it more explicit on our website that this is an option.

2. This is a really cool concept. As you have noted we aren't so much in the business of encouraging people to optimize the cash flow on a home and partnering with them on that, but this is a common way to make money of real estate and is certainly something we could branch out into.

This would complement our goal of not having to just become a fund and help solve real pain points people have in purchasing homes really well.

Again, really appreciate this feedback - the phrasing sparked some really cool insight and will definitely think about this more going forward.

> Always keep in mind: the US spends more per capita on public healthcare than any other country in the world, except Norway

Perhaps more important, the US spends a bit more as a share of GDP on public healthcare than most developed countries with a mainly-public universal system. (And on top spends even more on private healthcare, but the combination still isn't a universal system.)

Per capita costs are going to be higher just because incomes are higher. But that doesn't explain per GDP costs being so high.
I think it's misguided to talk up individual action over government regulation. I'm sure it feels nice to "do the right thing" but it's not impactful. In some cases, it frees up resources to be further wasted by the problematic % of people who just don't give a damn.

My suggestion is always to elect better politicians and write better laws.

Indeed. I was doxxed over a religious position I hold and underwent a 3 month investigation at work for it. It was absolutely horrible and very stressful. I have a family and small children. Some psycho who just couldn't handle that someone diaagrees with them spent the actual time to call my employer with the malicious intent to get me fired. That this type of behavior is tolerated by corporations is a gross injustice and it should be illegal.
I'm not talking about stress in general, but specific stressful situations. International relations, for example.

A leak of the private key for a SSL certificate authority (or even for the server itself with modern TLS) doesn't allow decrypting past messages, while these backdoor proposals aim to allow precisely that.

> These two statements contradict one another and the second one sounds awfully like moving the goal posts because the data doesn't support the conclusions.

The abstract I quoted reads: "Some leading analysts claim that although fewer drugs have been discovered worldwide over the past decade, most are therapeutically important. Yet a comprehensive data set of all new chemical entities approved between 1982 and 2003 shows that the United States never overtook Europe in research productivity, and that Europe in fact is pulling ahead of U.S. productivity. Other large studies show that most new drugs add few if any clinical benefits over previously discovered drugs."

The first snippet you pulled out is prefaced by Some leading analysts claim. This study's meta-analysis concludes that those analysts are incorrect.

Porcelain toilet lids and the metal plates on weightlifting machines are among the most dangerous common objects when it comes to hearing damage.

I've heard of cases where the plates on the machine were stuck together with grease and the user had selected a much lighter weight than usual. A number of plates below the linchpin were all the way up by the bonds of the grease before slipping and falling back down. The metal on metal impact rings out like a bell, right next to the user's head (in the case of bench press). Really nasty!

The Management Engine is very a different beast, if only because its code runs long before the main x86 CPU is even started (and UEFI can run). It also seems to run Minix these days (and before they moved the ME to the tiny Quark-style x86 core, some RTOS on an ARC core).

Unlike the ME firmware, SMM code is usually built with, shipped with and loaded by the x86 firmware.

He is correct about carrier aircraft requirements. The navy was forced to accept the JSF.

As produced, the F-22 is obviously not a naval aircraft. The tail hook is single-use, the landing gear is not reinforced, and the more modern stuff for carrier approach is probably not installed. All of that would be easy to change, and in fact a carrier version was proposed.
Could this be it?

My first CRM implementation in a large enterprise was back in 2004, so 15 years ago, OMG. Since then, I have seen and heard of many implementations that failed miserably because one critical factor: data entry was too hard/complicated. Just look at any CRM solution out there, pick up any entity, let's say, an Account. Click 'add new' and you will see 3 thousand different fields populating your screen, for those you won't have 30% of the data to fill in. Some process will mandate that you fill in at least 60% of that data somehow, so you cancel that creation and move ahead using a workaround.

In my opinion, CRM data entry should always be incremental/progressive, very granular, allowing processes to flow without frustrating users. That is key to user adoption and to any project success. Just my 2cents on this.

Nope, that's not accurate at all. The native apps support push notifications, in-app payments, native UI elements, proper lifecycle management (storing in-progress doodles across the app being killed in the background, or the device being restarted, for example), and more offline support than would be possible with the website. Among other things.

The things that are in the native wrappers are things that would be iOS-specific or Android-specific regardless of zero shared code or maximum shared code. In my case, the bulk of the app is shared -- everything that can be a common code base is a common code base.
