Personal freedoms have always had risks, but is it really warranted to take them away in this case and not offer a way to get them back in any shape or form?

Looking at recent Samsung devices, is Google Services Framework really that integral to the security of my device that I must be forbidden from disabling that package? Isn't there an alternative way to achieve a comparable level of security, but without slurping up my personal data?

The consequence of security does not have to be a complete loss of control, nor the inability to prevent in a practical way the collection of our personal data.

Not to mention the whole security argument falls apart when perfectly fine Android devices are left without security updates 2-3 years after purchase.
In case you haven't worked at a larger company before:

- nonstandard license = legal will have to review license

- AGPLv3 is a non-starter at many places

AGPLv3 software is used in some places, but projects normally license the pre-compiled binaries under more permissive terms. Example: mattermost is AGPLv3 but the binaries are MIT-licensed https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/... so it'll be easier to get approval to use the binaries.

I'm sure SharpScript is a cool technology, but some of your licensing choices really hamper adoption.

It has been very helpful for me. I am a tech guy and they have assisted in various ways for me to find a cofounder, for example with opportunities to work on mock business cases with the other people in the program, lots of time to chat and allowed us to take our time when to decide to partner up, most people teamed up after 3-4 weeks.

Speaking about other people, as I mentioned it's about 72 of us, 40% ish with tech background, the rest with business and/or industry experience.

They provided us with advice on what to do first to validate the idea, get traction with first customers, and many opportunities to do mock investment pitches where we would get comments from a committee with what we need to improve or what investors would ask.

Additionally there were some courses about different aspects of startups, from design thinking to unit economics, sort of like a mini mba.

So far it has been very valuable for me.

However, on the criticism side, it's sort of early days for them so they could not give too much advice for example on how to tell if a team works or not, with my first team that I had formed we spent 5 weeks (out of 10) spinning in circles not being able to decide on any idea. We generated around 12 but discarded them as soon as any friction came. So we had disbanded and stressed out, then I met another person who had a firm idea what to do and had already validated it, just needed a tech person, and this is going much better now.
>That's because this new devices aren't "secure" but severely limited and crippled, you can't do much with them and they are far from actually usable like a computer.

That's the whole point: for them to not be as open ended and complex as computers, while having the power to run highly feature-full apps.

>By that metric, my old Nokia was even more secured than an iPhone.

It indeed was, and that's the ideal. To make extremely feature full modern smartphones as easy to use and as complexity/trouble-free as appliances...

Most (major) train lines have fiber buried next to them that is leased by the various telecoms which helped the expansion.

Yes indeed. Most people don't know that. Here's a little piece of related trivia:

Long before wireless was a thing, people wanted to bypass the AT&T long distance voice telecom monopoly. Actually, long before voice communications were a thing, people wanted to send telegrams.

Hmmm ... as you note, there are train lines all over. Perfect for right of way to run telegraph wires, and eventually to run long distance fiber.

One can definitely make a case for why companies might choose to use WeWork. But a much stronger case is to look at the actual evidence - large companies are in fact using WeWork. E.g. where I live, Microsoft has taken out tons of WeWork space, despite also having offices.

And according to the article, 40% of WeWork's revenue comes from large corporations, so this isn't a one-off thing either.

Build a new operating system, or build an operating environment that runs on top of an existing operating system, like how e.g. Windows used to run on top of DOS? Or User Mode Linux on top of Linux?

An operating environment means you don't have to worry about stuff like device drivers. It can run inside a Docker container. (At most companies, try suggesting "let's run a brand-new OS that nobody has heard of", and you'll get an emphatic "no"... say "here's this app we want to run, it is packaged as a Docker container", and often nobody will even ask what is inside that Docker container, even if it contains your operating environment with the app running on top.)

You can start out using facilities of the host OS like the filesystem and networking stack. Later, if you want to, you can implement your own filesystem (create a 100GB file on the host filesystem, pretend that is a block device and your custom filesystem exists within it). Or your own networking stack (which can run in user space using facilities like Linux tun/tap drivers.)

An operating environment can always evolve into a standalone operating system at a later date.

All other usages of ServiceStack from its official NuGet packages are only available under its commercial license which only requires a paid developers license for its commercial products that contains free-quota usage restrictions [1]. The rest of ServiceStack, inc. all core and client libraries like ServiceStack.Text, ServiceStack.Common (containing #Script), ServiceStack.Client, etc are all unrestricted libraries that are available to use graits/for free.

It probably will have something to do with Neo electrocuting Sentries in the "Real World" and the fact that "Real World" is just another matrix.
It’s not like Multics or ITS or the Lisp machines or the IBM OSs were simple at all. In fact, they probably were more complicated. What you’re talking about are the toy OSs designed for extremely limited hardware for people who probably couldn’t tell the difference in the first place.

Completely agreed. Any realistic model of creativity has to accommodate both nature and nurture. Unfortunately, in the humanities, the idea that anything is natural is an unpopular position.

In defence of nurture, 28% of Nobel Prize winning physicists come from families where the father was an academic professional. From the same book (The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity) we learn that this number falls to 6% for Nobel Prize winning writers. However, a whopping 30% of these writers lost at least one parent through death, abandonment or desertion. In contrast, physicists lead fairly normal lives.
I think that once the people running Hollywood realized they can make a consistent profit from running the same stories over and over again, they lost all appetite for risk and for trying out new things.

I wish Hollywood studios would create more new original stuff. There was a meme circulated around a few weeks back with a movie theater sign with Childsplay, Toy Story 4, Godzilla, Aladdin and Men in Black on it with the title, "The 90s called and want their movies back."

I get that older movies with established franchises can be secure bets to bring in money, but there's a lot of diminishing returns. I feel some people just see these releases in the theaters because there's nothing else released.

OSQuery is pretty powerful and the SQL-like query makes it easier to correlate various system metrics in 1 step.

However compared to a central metric system that can aggregate metrics across all the hosts, its use quickly becomes less important.

Also there are some CPU considerations, as OSQuery is not as lightweight as other metrics gather tools. Several times I've ran into OSQuery interfering with the actual application, competing for resources. So if you do run it, make to renice it to mitigate this, especially if you're running time-sensitive apps like video/audio.

How to Scale EF Core Apps to Extreme Performance?
You'll find that knowing different systems helps your career. Every new bootcamp grad knows React. You can learn React on your own, and know React + Outsystems, making you more unique.

It is counter-intuitive, but knowing non-trendy platforms makes you more valuable. When projects come up needing to integrate with the newer platforms, or if they drop Outsystems to move to node/React, you would be one of the few people who know both sides.

I've spent most of my career on platform transition projects, migrating Lotus Notes to .NET and SharePoint, and building web front-ends over them to replace their old UIs. Now, I am modernizing older .NET MVC and jQuery apps to React running in cloud environments. The tech list I work with would make most people run away screaming, yet I'm extremely valuable to my team because I know every piece of tech on both the old and the new platforms.

Spoiler Alert:

In fact, Morpheus was in charge (by the Machines) to search for people in the Matrix who thought something was wrong. He would then offer them a chance of waking up in the "real world". But this real world turned out to be yet another Matrix designed by the Machines to deceive those people into thinking that they're actually fighting the Machines while in fact, they were still in another Matrix! It was a perfectly designed illusion. This idea gets more serious when you realize how absurd it is for the Machines - that basically took over the world - to need human brain power to operate. Then again, maybe this whole Matrix is not designed by the Machines and only follows a script written by humans to predict possible future scenarios. I'd be willing to watch the next Matrix film!

I disagree with both points. I'm a small business owner - I was also a small business owner in 2012. (Two different businesses). One of the biggest changes that have helped me out nowadays vs. back then, is the fact that WeWork exists.

In 2013, when we decided we wanted an office, we started to look for one. This was a super long process, and in our specific case we eventually gave up and stayed with a previous arrangement (unimportant to the story - that's usually not an option). The reason this was complicated was:

1. We needed to actually find a good location and a place
that looks decent. This a) took time, and b) wasn't easy for a decent price.

2. Once renting a place, we'd need to decorate it / etc to make it actually usable - most places aren't immediately ready. This also includes furniture/etc, without which the space isn't useable.

3. We'd also need to take care of a lot of related payments and setup - internet, electricity, etc. Internet alone is annoying, as you have to setup office routers/etc.

4. To make everything really complicated - we had no idea how much space to get. We were a 10 person company, with plans to grow. But leases are for 2 years - do we get a space for 10? Of course not, if we grow we are in trouble. For 20? That means we're paying for a lot of excess space for a few years.

Compared to the above, setting up servers is much easier :) And as you can see in point #4, WeWork can smooth out capacity.

In contrast, last year my new company (2 people) moved to a WeWork. It took 3 days - we looked at 2 locations (also non WeWork), picked WeWork as it was the best combination of price vs. space provided, and moved in a week later. WE recently grew to 4 people - it took 3 conversations, and we found a new room in the same building that can house 4 people, we moved a week later.

It's just difficult to study for various technical reasons related to how we sequence it.

Sometime the mistranslation is even intentional! (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25220850)

As you mentioned though, there are also quite a few safeguards.

* trans-editing factor example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28737471

Damaged tRNA is even repaired (a bit, sometimes). (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28901837)

From an interesting (2018) review of tRNA in general (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6103721/):

> Surprisingly, a perfect proteome is not a pre-requisite for cellular viability even in the context of human cells. Lant et al. demonstrated that a single tRNA mutant can lead to significant mistranslation in human cells [17]. This was accomplished by expressing an Ala accepting tRNAPro G3:U70 variant in HEK 293 cells. The authors visualized a rate of ~ 3% mistranslation using a novel green fluorescent protein (D129P) reporter that fluoresces in response to mistranslation at proline codons. In contrast to previous studies in yeast [18], human cells in culture did not mount a detectable heat-shock response and tolerated the mistranslation without apparent impact on cell viability.
