"17.63 bits of identifying information" for me.

Strange, that they do not make use of the fact that browsers leak your local ip:

https://browserleaks.com/webrtc

This is one of the most glaring privacy holes build right into the browsers.

On the other hand, I am surprised they correctly identify my "platform" as "Linux x86_64". Even though I used a windows user agent. How do they do that?

Also: What does the "Share on Google+" button do? It prompts me to log into Google. What would happen if I do?
Should you start a new company during a pivot?
Our original product was in the b2c space. The team worked on it for close to a year and got some early traction. However due to graduation and new job offers, majority of the team left to pursue other goals. 2 of them had vested equity totally approx 6%. Around the same time, I found a few others with much more experience to join the team as founders.

2 months ago, we spoke to a industry veteran and decided to pivot to a new product which will be in a B2B SaaS product. The solution can be used together with the b2c product we previously built or can be a stand alone product.

So the question now becomes should we (current team) start a new company for the B2B product, since the inactive members that worked on the b2c product did not actually contribute to the B2B product?

If we were to create the new company, What should I do before announcing the new company?

We currently have a few letter of intent from corporations, 2 of them wanted both the b2b and b2c product together in the solution. How should we divide the revenue from the deal between the 2 companies?
Thanks, didn't know lack of formula was prove. I thought it was simply not found yet.
I did the experiment in 1989, closing individual slits and everything. There are entire fields of material science based on photo electron interference (ARPES, XPS and other photo emission spectroscopies). Quoting some clown who claims "well you never did it my (irrelevant) way" is not useful here.
I'm not sure where you're going with that comment.
I don't think Purism is malicious, I just think they are just not sufficiently competent. There is just too much "fake it till you make it". I think they have had some very competent employees over the past few years, who joined due to the mission, and later left for various reasons (and they may still have a couple). But the management is not sufficiently competent with the technology. They see the need for marketing to keep the company alive, but they just don't know what claims or plans they can reasonably make.

I was a backer of the original Librem 13. I can list lots of little details which individually should be forgiven for a company like this, but together are just ridiculous. It seems like every little thing was botched at least a little. Here's a really trivial one: in the initial news posts (before anything was shipped) it was written that the touchpad driver would be licensed gplv3 and submitted upstream. I sent an email "hey, you probably want to correct that typo (should be gplv2, or maybe gplv2+, obviously)" and the response was "we will consult with the FSF". Sure, consult with the FSF in general on the project, but who could be involved in this company, announcing details like this, and not know the license of the linux kernel? On its own that is nothing, but there is so much more. When I received the laptop, it came with slightly customized debian testing, and a broken apt/sources.list so updates did not work. I can fix that, of course. But they didn't have any working repo for a couple months, back then. (Which I only really needed for the kernel builds with the rather crappy touchpad driver. Later models switched to a different touchpad, and I suspect use no drivers that required any development work.) They hired the guy who did the majority of the coreboot customization and fixing needed, after I received the laptop, like 2 years after the project started. He no longer works there. And there's more.

I haven't been following the phone project closely. I can imagine that some (many?) supporters are very familiar with these technologies and issues, and when they read the news and claims from this project, they translate it internally to what it really means, given what is plain impossible and what is very unlikely. But still, it is ridiculous, and a bit embarrassing, for others who support free software and open hardware.
Speaking as an employment _provider_ I fully agree nomad != remote. I'm actually hesitant to employ nomads if they are likely to move without warning to time zones that aren't convenient for the rest of the team.

For example, one of the things that makes distributed teams work is to have a small number of very stable meeting times that remain invariant for long periods of time. The reason is that people need to structure their lives (e.g., dinner with family) and if you change things capriciously it affects relationships with families or other things in their personal lives. Having team members suddenly move and then want meeting times changed for everyone is a real non-starter for me.
Not if you program the cars to charge overnight. It requires more smarts, and grid interaction, but the cars could be made to obey instructions from the grid operator.

There would have to be compensation, of course.
I think the OP might have a point. Most of these pieces barely make it to the front page. Just take a look at the number of comments on the links you shared: the USA Today story has only 1 comment and the WaPo has 46 comments. Compare this with a typical Trump impeachment story which gets thousands of comments. So either the coverage is not good, or the audience of these papers don't care much about what's going on in the rest of the world.

Given that teachers with summer break I doubt it in itself. Although that level of generosity usually has a cost, perhaps logistical passed on or factored in.

Like expecting longer "on hours" or a bit lower pay in exchange for the benefits. Of course as always it could be circumstances which give it cheaper or "free" like if there are down times where there isn't much meaningful work available.
> But consumers are already making this investment by switching en masse to EVs

"En masse"? Maybe if you live in Norway or something like that.

According to the data I was able to find online, only about 2% of the new cars sold worldwide in 2018. are EVs. If we take the number of all cars currently on the roads worldwide, it's around 0.25%.

India does not surprise me after having been there. A lot of very poor people and infrastructure that has not grown with the population.

Like a 10 minute drive (I was not a driver) from the offices of pretty famous western companies one could see improvised disposal sites for trash; sometimes burning and people going through them and seeing what they can find.

There seemed to be way too little organized trash pickup so people just threw their trash somewhere and after a while either the government acted or people decide to burn it to get rid of it.

I assume if there is a river nearby many will take that option instead of burning it.

That's a solid excuse as excuses go, but remember that this was in the 60s, and spy satellites had to send down landing capsules with _film_ back then, and, therefore, had very limited usable life. They were also extremely expensive, difficult to control, and the USSR wasn't really known for its brilliance in optical tech.

Indians Will No Longer Require Visas to Visit Brazil Says President Bolsonaro
From all the previous failed crowdfunded hardware projects (like KDE Spark tablet, Jolla tablet and so on), I know one thing. Making mobile computer hardware is hard, when such companies depend on third parties for assembly and manufacturing. Those can pull the rug from under you at any point without even a blink. Especially when it's a tiny fish, which is nothing for them in comparison with clients that order magnitudes more.

So when dealing with such crowdfunding, don't get frustrated, treat it as a high risk investment and learn to be stoic. Most likely it fill fail. But if you are lucky, it won't.

Why do a good job for a company which is headed by jerks who don't give a crap about you? Ultimately the proceeds of your great work will go directly into their pockets. If they're real jerks, I'd much rather dedicate my energy to screwing them over on my way out. These sociopaths never reciprocate good deeds no matter what anyway, so the cost of burning the bridge is 0. However, the satisfaction from watching them fail after you leave and the added self-respect you get out of it is priceless.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I've been remote the past several years, and have lived in apartments the entire time.

This fall was the first time I was able to find a suitable single family home for rent in my desired area. The house has a comfortable, fenced backyard with a large glass slider in the living room. One of the first things I have noticed while living here is how big of a difference it makes having access to that outside space. Being able to step outside, see the sky, take in some fresh air, and best of all to do it with relative privacy, has done wonders for my mental health.

I highly recommend a house, preferably with outdoor space, versus an apartment if you are a stay-at-home remote worker and have the means.

Pretty much how we built client-server applications on Oracle RDBMS 25 years ago.

When your application grows, you'll have a large number of stored procedures. Oracle has packages which significantly eases the way you work with a large amount of stored procedures. Packages enable you to group related stored procedures into one object.

Packages have an interface (stored procedures and custom types available outside the package), and an implementation (package body). You can manage security at the package level, and you can hide the implementation of the stored procedures in the package body.

The postgres alternative, to use schema, isn't very good: a schema is more like a package in java, an oracle package like a class. Doing java with only packages, and no classes feels very limited.
Aside: if you're using this on a platform where it's easy to actually share the code itself, please don't use this. It might look pretty, but you can't copy from it easily.

In an office, I can intersperse social contact with programming. And the socializing requires almost no effort, since there is more common ground (job, commute, lunch, etc)

At home, I'm isolated for 8-10 hours straight. By dinner time, I'm mentally exhausted, making it harder to drum up energy to go out and meet new people.
> was designed to work from home 40 hrs a week?

At all time in history before the industrial revolution? You worked at home, which was right next to your field, or in front of /under your home. Commuting to work wasn't even an option ; usually only merchants traveled.

The weird situation is when you have to move away from your family in unfamiliar cramped apartments just so you can work in a factory nearby and perhaps send them back money. It's not "normal", it's rather abnormal but cities have adapted to this abnormal situation. The trend to economies becoming 100% services is helping to bring people back to ancient normality.

> We should be focusing on creating more flexible office environments

No we should be working to make residential areas more social and turn them to mixed residential/commercial, just how it used to be (and still is in most of europe). Offices are a relic.

This is actually going to happen spontaneously as soon as everyone has 4-5 neighbors who also work from home. It's a matter of time

> you still can’t use XPath 2 portably because libxml2 never implemented it

That's not the fault of the XML community at large, but just a lack of resources for the implementation of an unpaid open source project.

You can happily use XPath 3.1 with Saxon, BaseX, eXist. All three use Java, so, it's not portable, but Saxon has a C library, that mirrors the Java version 1:1, and that C library is also available as open source, though, it lacks some XPath 3.x features, like higher order functions, then.

For the command line, there is a partial XPath 3.1 implementation with 'xidel'.

But I agree, libxml and libxslt being at XPath 1.0 for so long, did not serve XML well.

It's interesting to see Fresh Direct figure so prominently in this because they're kind of the original two day shipping company in NYC. They've been delivering groceries to online shoppers since the early 2000s. Also their warehouse has always been inside the city in LIC, Queens. The complaints about them and their trucks with loud refrigeration units are just as old. This is from a decade ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/nyregion/25fresh.html

It's not like these delivery issues came out of nowhere. There was plenty of time for the DOT, the state and city council to look at data, study these trends and adjust policy accordingly. But like everything else it needs to reach some crisis level before any appreciable action is undertaken.
>On the other hand, I am surprised they correctly identify my "platform" as "Linux x86_64". Even though I used a windows user agent. How do they do that?

probably because your user agent faker only fakes the http header and not the javascript environment.

Super cool. How's it work?
I've worked directly with several people from Purism. I can confirm hearing about similar internal issues from first-party sources, as early as well over a year ago. I cancelled my Librem 5 pre-order several months ago, and it'd probably be wise for anyone who doesn't want to lose their money to do the same sooner rather than later.
I'm on a fully remote team. I do like the convenience of not wasting time with rush hour commuting and such. That being said, the next time I have the opportunity to negotiate an added perk I'll be hoping to get a small budget for a local co-working space. Once or twice week would be perfect.
Honestly? Maybe we need to call a constitutional convention.
For me:

1. No clear agenda, or "standing meetings" for no reason.

2. Clueless people in the meeting that need to be brought up to speed when an email could have been enough.

3. Being in a meeting when you shouldn't really be there - a total waste of time. Musk is onto something here.

4. Meetings that can easily be an email.
The ideal remote work situation to me would revolve around the ability to travel, want to go to Hawaii for two weeks? No big deal. People who talk about using a remote job to move to X city seem a bit detached from reality in my opinion.
I totally agree with you. I like all-remote teams. I’m wary of teams that are part remote and part collocated, especially when the leaders are part of Team Collocated and I’m not.
I need both. And most of those who don't sell FLAC also don't want to sell DRM-free. Since there is no reason not to sell lossless if someone is already selling DRM-free.

Do some elementary, Wikipedia-level research — Python was at 1.3 then if I recall correctly. As I’ve written many times, the management order was “make it look like Java”, so none of the languages you mentioned was practical.

Neither of those is exactly true. GraphQL has support for user-defined scalars and we’ve defined a `JSON` scalar that is used to transfer arbitrary JSON objects as JSON-encoded strings (we also have a `map` scalar that renders as a JSON object at its field, but accepts a JSON-encoded string for input formats; we are shifting away from that because _some_ clients don’t have the flexibility of producing inputs like that).
We write most code in backend (go), but we DEFINITELY spin up a new, real SQL database in for every test in our automated test suite. ("CREATE DATABASE" is rather cheap; use a fresh docker DB instance for each suite run, or run it permanently while developing.

Mocking away DB is both an inefficient way to work and lets the tests cover less. I will never write software without running tests against a real DB again.

Our setup totally would let you test anything in stored procedures (although we do not use them much).
fastmail supports a variation of this:
