Come on, this is basic stuff. You can sell your product without selling at Target, you effectively can't sell your ios app outside the app store. It's not so much about the markup (which should come down since modern digital business capabilities should have efficiencies that reach the consumer as a benefit), but the practice of closing out alternatives.
I left one job to switch to another. A year later, my new job started using a cloud-based task management app. When I went to sign in, my 1Password auto-filled the credentials I'd used for the same app at my previous job, and there I was looking at all of my old employer's current projects and other confidential info. I called my old boss (who I got along with just fine), told him what happened, and asked him to please cut off my access immediately.

When you leave a job, it's in your own best interest to make sure that all of your access is removed. It's a lot harder for them to blame unexpected happenings on you if you can't even log into the thing. (Not that this happened here. I just wanted to point out a gotcha you might not have thought about.)

If you find out that they missed something, report it to them immediately and keep that paper trail demonstrating your good intentions toward them. Then hound them about it until they get around to fixing the situation. And for the love of God, don't ever, EVER log in "just to look around". Absolutely no good can come of that.
This is not what people write in Python or PHP, but this is what people write in C extensions for Python or PHP. Having your JIT be that fast allows you to forego those extensions and write the low-level hot loops in the same language, and that's a huge improvement.

You usually don't care how your matrix multiplication/regex matching/unicode normalization/JSON parsing is implemented, but people had to make those, and they are users of the language too.

Even though it might not change the bottom-line for your high-level app.

The average selling price of cars, uh, I mean SUV/CUVs is getting higher and higher. Pickup trucks average selling prices are practically in luxury sedan ranges.

As stated in comments, cheap financing definitely helps this, as does the fact that current cars really are so much better than cars 20 years ago, to say nothing of cars from the 80s or (shudder) 70s.

A lot is the luxury feature set, but a lot is just people buying very gaudy horsepower drivetrains.

EV drivetrains will rapidly eclipse ICE drivetrains in price, and they are almost trivial to design for very good acceleration (which really is all that gets used daily for "sporty" cars). The joke is Americans buy horsepower but drive torque is very apropos. A simple EV drivetrain can deliver very high torque at the low end, while equivalent torque is really expensive for an engine.

So that will leave software (which commoditizes quickly as well) and luxury features. But I think the average price will come back.
Do me it reads as if he was fast and loose with something, and didn't really care whether it affected other systems, but didn't intentionally seek to damage systems. That sounds like it would be a hard situation to have happen, but there's so little real info it's hard to tell.

Was it a script on a personal machine he had that was connecting to an old account he didn't thing would work? They say "deployed code", and that can be frightening easy to do in a cloud centric workflow (and if it's old code, who knows what would happen).

Something like that would also explain is current employers reticence to fire him. A mistake where you run something you don't imagine will even work, much less cause major problems that then does so because your prior employer forgot to remove credentials is something that might be looked on with a bit more understanding (and a lot of schadenfreude about he other company's lax controls causing them major problems).
Nope, but my siblings had their first and I witnessed how life altering of an experience it was for them where they had to put their careers on hold and nothing else mattered other than this new born (justifiably so), pregnancy was also rough for the wives so the husbands has double duty, taking care of newborn at all hours and recovering wives from c-section and complications. Not looking forward to the first year.

Got any tips?

There's a related problem: for most phones with removable batteries, you can't buy replacements. And each model is carefully designed for a unique battery and terminal geometry.

This doesn't prevent battery recycling, but it does junk the entire phone, which as you saynis harder to recycle.

That seems like a lot of resources to delete... It’s “possible” but I’m not sure they I find it plausible. Is there some magic terraform or cloud formation that just destroys everything? And a Cisco engineer with devops like experience wouldn’t at least sniff around before running it? Doesn’t seem realistic.

Cisco should wear this too though, this is shockingly negligent. The only reason I can think of suggests a lot more problems and likely noncompliance with regulations and standards I’m sure they claim to comply with.

Especially given that they haven't had working 2FA for the longest time, it's not fair to say that OP allowed it or gave someone the keys.

Stretching the analogy, it's more like OP had the room keys lying on a table at a cafe, someone managed to copy the key after sniping a photo and then abused the room while OP was out for the night, and then OP notified the hotel staff once they got back and realized what was going on.

In both cases, OP was unaware of anyone having unauthorized access and it wouldn't have happened (as easily( if the business had better security.

Not withstanding having been corrected above, I believe his points accrual is funded by chumps. I also pay no fees in my card, and have no points. I dont think my card is spotless either: the product can only work because there is revenue in the system. If its merchant fees we're all paying a non tax impost on purchases which is out of relation to the cost of electronic cash services, and if its the 23% apr its usery.
There might be some purpose for fuel cells for really long distance shipping and maybe seasonal storage use, but overall, I agree.
Yep. It may just be a fact that he ran terraform and it said to delete all VM instances, only he forgot he had his old credentials in the environment variables, and who would have ever expected them to work.

That said, the lack of details on this do leave a lot to be imagined - it’s just as easy to read this as revenge, and that large companies don’t bother to publicly shame people most of the time.

I think the lottery and MLM both tap into the same dreams, but a key difference is that the lotto ends at the cheap thrill, while MLM is a spiral that sucks you down forever.

The lottery is tolerated because it raises revenue without raising taxes. Here in California, ending the lotto means cutting public school funding. I would welcome higher taxes to end the lotto, but politics is politics.
If you have a free game with IAP, I think the analogy holds even if it’s in-game.

There's always more to lose than just what you own. There's who you are, there's relationships with family & friends, there's time, there's opportunities. All should be put on the scale & weighed against the risks.

Different set of laws involved. Different level of scrutiny during the investigation. And very very different punishment if they are ever caught.
Yep. Going to try that along with general content marketing.
By that argument, all Apple is saying “we don’t have to sell products that would violate this clause.” And that’s what people appear to be up in arms about.
At this point just let the app crash and burn in the US without an acquisition.
Isn't transmission lines and substation information public by necessity?

My takeaway from this story is that a saboteur cell of as little as 10 people could take down multiple substations in sync, causing way more serious consequences.

Attacking substations is a hard way too, one could just mix up some thermite and bring down some 500kW transmission towers.
Typically “your health” is not considered part of what “you own”, but more often than not is very much on the line during big bets. Not for everyone, and not for every bet, but the loss of it can have an extraordinarily disproportionate time-multiplied impact far beyond losing what “you own”.
"The Rise & Fall of the Dinosaurs" by Steve Brusatte is a great book that describes chronologically the beginning of dinosaurs through their end - by means of a young scientist telling about his various digs in his own (non-chronologically) experience. One thing I found important and unique about it was that it put the dinosaurs in the context of their geological environment.

It's relatively up to date, easily accessible, teaches quite a bit, and is fun.

Birds are dinosaurs...
Actual substantial longevity - beyond quality of life enhancements - is something I greatly fear. It would change everything.

Imagine life with no kids and the joy they bring, a stagnation in all societal structures, no turnover of ideas (loosely quoting "agendas don't die; people die").

I'm sure such a civilization would be very stable, but won't have any extreme sports.
Currently remaining battery %'s aren't exact because I'm assuming there is a linear coorelation between voltage and capacity (Which is wrong). I don't plan on fixing this, as the exact % is unimportant to me.

There are dedicated ICs which will give the remaining charge accurately, which may possibly be even cheaper than this ad-hoc solution.

> there’s just better uses for a nuclear weapon, like you know, air bursting in a city.

If your choice is completely annihilating one city, or destroying even just 10% of computers (including industrial control systems) in 50% of the country, which do you think causes more damage?

Destroying even a small fraction of individual computers makes most larger systems inoperable.

Without industrial control systems, power plants can't operate. Without power, cities become unsurvivable for a majority of the population within days, industrial output becomes effectively zero, and immediate issues like starvation and resulting unrest become a much bigger priority than fighting a war. Most importantly, recovery efforts will be extremely slow without power. How do you call the supplier, or other places that might have spares, when there is no phone network, no cell phones, no Internet? How do you call the experts that could diagnose which of the hundreds or thousands of control components need swapping? How do they get the fuel for their vehicle to get to you? And food and water to survive until you put everything into place? And safety so they don't get murdered by the looters?

According to http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.p..., a peak field strength of 15 kV/m is expected to cause permanent damage to computer equipment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse#... shows a single explosion (of unspecified yield) covering most of the US with a 25 kV/m field.

> which is the very act that triggers a full scale nuclear response because of launch-on-warning.

AFAIK the US doesn't practice launch-on-warning. Even if it did, a peaceful low earth orbit satellite launch is hard to distinguish from a not-so-peaceful low earth orbit nuke launch (unlike a conventional ICBM that's supposed to come back down). It would likely still result in nuclear retaliation, but if e.g. a dictator was already being invaded by the US, they don't necessarily have much to lose.

It's not just in tech.

You hear responses from younger generations like "Ok Boomer" to their elders' opinions and it is so cringe-worthy.

I don't think everything my parents taught me was perfect or even always correct but there's an irreplaceable amount of wisdom that comes from being alive twice as long.
The best time to be alive is when longevity break throughs first appear. You have the advantages of experiencing the old ways of living and get to live unexpectedly longer and see the world adapt to the new normal. Fortunately that is what we are positioned for.

Guess Apple could let developers disclose the 30% iap fee, but only if they disclose the margins they make off of each user/transaction/etc.

Herbalife's products work, but they're just vitamins, and a protein shake with vitamins. It's nothing special compared to the hundreds of competing products that exist...today.

But when it was founded 4 decades ago...there weren't any products like it on the market. It basically created the market, and it's had 4 decades to expand internationally into countries where there is similarly little to no competition. It's basically the McDonalds of protein shakes.

Herbalife stays in business because most of the "distributors" (in the US) are just end customers who buy in bulk at the "distributor" discount, which is why so many of them don't try to sell it on to others. And that was pretty much what the FTC concluded when they investigated Herbalife. (But note: Herbalife was determined to have operated as a pyramid scheme in several Latin American countries, and was forced to reorganize its operations in those countries.)

Just know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your children are so helpless and require constant attention and mine woke up hungry basically every 2 hours for almost the first year. You get through it. It helped that my wife took a year off. My kiddo started sleeping through the night at 11 months and that made everything much better. A lot of newborns will do much better and maybe only wake up once per night after a few months. The hard part is also that they can't communicate with you outside crying for like at least 18 months. Once they hit 3 though you should be able to communicate very easily about anything troubling them and that makes life so much more rewarding. My advice is to read to them a LOT and talk to them even more. Do so like they're an actual person and not a child. If you're kid is falling behind in milestones, look and see about early childhood speech therapy. My kid was a good bit behind, but someone working with them helped (probably would've been fine regardless) and they never stop talking now. My in-laws are always confused that I stop and spend time explaining stuff to my kid as they always treat children as things that should obey them without question. It is a little surreal, but parenting method norms have changed a lot in the last 30 years. Reading to them, talking to them, singing to them every night, and doing counting and other activities helps them learn and bond with you.

I'm not going to speak to specifics. Let's just say, you'd be surprised. It's more about the cutting force than it is say about the mass. Yes, a large boat will make even the dullest anchor a strong knife via force. But a small anchor that is sharpened could do the trick.

You don't need to split the wire in half. You merely need to expose it enough to cause it to go to ground with a significant enough amount.

The facility in question could see any boat on the water, and if a boat stayed over the lines too long. Authorities would have to be notified. After I left this exact thing happened by accident, and it was in an area where large boats did not enter due to the water being too shallow.

Bubbles are round because of air pressure. But that doesn't really apply to large holes in the ground. The ground is a lot more difficult to move than a thin soap film is. Most caves aren't round. Most mountains aren't round, and when they are, it's for different reasons.
