> the front doors both open when the handle is pulled, locked or not

Unfortunately, this is not anymore warranted. Already in models of ten years ago, there do exist "full lock non mechanically overridable" and "lock which is unlocked through the handles". Disabling the "feature" requires intervention from the manufacturer - if it can be disabled at all.

Look, I am informed that in at least many of the current cars with RFID based keys, it is impossible to lock yourself in the car... (And the idea seems to have spawned from manufacturers coming from the territories in the world most notorious for carjacking.)
Mobile phones, at least some models, used to have an antenna connector to connect an external antenna, and it was quite common to install such antenna in cars.

Passive antennas do not increase transmission power, not least because that is regulated, but does increase the gain.

One reason that is no longer the case is probably that it is simply no longer needed.
Thanks for your response! I edited the original post to make it more clear. I'll follow up to your points in order:

- It's a simple app and backend. I worked on it full-time for 6 months, learning how to build apps along the way. Is there something else that doesn't make sense?

- Not even at the earliest stages? I'm envisioning having a cofounder that covers sales, marketing, fundraising, and business. I do product, some design, and engineering.

- So your opinion is that you don't need experience as a software engineer?

- It sounds like you agree with me that technical founders are more in-demand.

- I did work at a large tech company for two years as a systems engineer (see original post). I'm also about to go work for someone now. Founding my own company is what I want to do long-term.
I think I would prefer lootboxes. With lootboxes once you get the fob it's yours to keep, rather than having to keep paying for it.
Things of possible note:

* This is a survey published in 2018 with (survey) data gathered in two months of 2016

* mobility data comes from a different source for each country and they vary wildly in the period covered. Notable Italy and US data is post 2008 and the others pre 2008. Looks like there’s as much as a 12 year difference in child earning data across countries.

* sample characteristics (the income question mentioned in other posts, not clear these are used for quintiles):

* US 20k, 20-40k, 40-70k, 70k+

* UK £1.5k/mo, £1.5-2.5k/mo, £2.5-3k/mo, £3k+/mo

* FR (UK ranges but €)

* IT <€(?)1.5k/mo, 1.5-2.45k/mo, 2.45-3.35k/mo, 3.35k+/mo

* SE (SEK) <33k/mo, 33-42k/mo, 42-58k/mo, 58k+/mo

* population samples per bracket differ most between US and EU, EU comparisons are pretty similar. Nearly 2x income bracket 1 pop and sample % in EU(.27-.33) vs US (.16/.18)

* From what I’ve found 2004 (UK data) £ conversion rate to USD was ~1.9. (2012)€ was ~1.34. USD and Italy are from 2011-2012, a 2012 $ is 0.82¢ in 2004 $s. So 70k=57.6k and £3000/mo=04$68.4k=12$83.1k, €3000/mo=12$46.8k

* age dist differs non-UK EU has fewer under 30.(~.2 vs .27)

So the lowest UK rate is ~2x the lowest US rate, the US rate is a smaller portion of the pop/sample, and the US upper rate is nearly 1.5-2x of the sample as the Non-US (.39 vs .17-26). The EU top rate is ~0.56 the US top rate when converted to $ using 2012 numbers.

There’s also another important dynamic here. 2011-2012 was the European debt crisis. Italy, in particular, saw a big unemployment spike over the course of the selected years.

Embargoing is very tricky and often harmful. Attackers know how to catch embargo'd vulns, it's often really easy, like in the case of the Linux kernel. If attackers have advanced notice you're only hurting defenders by hiding things from them.

We know that two weeks before disclosure there are attacks using this exploit. Somehow had clearly figured it out, so hiding it was only going to cause problems.

This wouldn't be new. People have been "jailbreaking" their cars since the 80s. We had a BMW in 1990 that we replaced the transmission chip on with a 3rd party chip so that we could unlock extra functionality that they only had in Europe.
What I'm really worried about is the people who think this kind of damage is good per se, either out of general misanthropy or some sort of tribal hatred. Meeting these kind of challenges are well within our technical capability, but I fear not within our moral/financial/political capability.
Hamburg, Germany: the public transport services released a new app a few months ago which assumes that the request failed when the app has not finished receiving an answer to a route query after a given time span. The problem: It is normal to have a data cap that, when reached, limits the rate to 64 kbit/s. That is too slow for the answer to be fully transmitted in time...

At least the website works, even though it transmits the full site for every request...

> Aside: IMO std::optional in general is disappointing because it doesn't actually solve the worst problem with nullable pointers: dereferencing a null std::optional is still undefined behavior. I wish the standard had gone with a design that forces the developer to write an explicit check when unwrapping the optional...

You can use `.value()` to deref an optional instead of `operator*` or `operator->`. It will throw an exception on empties.

IMHO the primary purpose for a function returning a `std::optional` instead of either returning a value on success or throwing an exception on failure is that you can use it in codebases where exceptions are disabled for whatever reason. If the behaviors of `.value()` vs `operator*` were swapped, such that `operator*` throws exceptions and `.value()` is undefined behavior, all the people who wanted it for the purposes of eschewing exceptions, the crowd who wanted `std::optional` the most, would be getting the verbose code.

> Your link shows the US has 4x the homicide rate as the UK.

That isn't germane. If the rate of something fluctuates without connection to the action taken to change the rate, then the action isn't effective or is confounded by other more significant factors.

Izzard's implicit conjecture is that if guns are not present, then murder is less likely (please let me know if I am misunderstanding it). Izzard's country of primary domicile is England which has a recent history of making guns less available. However, the murder rate in England appears to increase and decrease without regard to the timing of key legislation. Since a murder may or may not be performed with a gun, if murders do not decrease in the absence of guns then it follows that a gun may be a particular method but is not necessary for the commission of a murder.

I suppose a counterfactual could be asserted: the murder rate would have been even higher without England's gun laws. I suppose that is possible and would be plausible with more information about the natural variation in murder rates of various methods. Maybe something like Narwal tusks aren't a replacement for guns but have their own natural rate of usage in murders.
> Paying out ~100% of the take equally per-person to make it so it helps rather than hurts the poorest, a "carbon dividend". Poor people use less carbon on average (directly+indirectly) than wealthy people, so they will usually be net beneficiaries.

I think there's an argument that this is impossible to sustain, politically. Once there is a huge new tax, it will be too tempting to redirect growing portions of that funding to other projects. California, for example, has an energy rebate, but the money has also been diverted to bail out the high-speed rail project, for example, and if the state faced a fiscal crisis who knows where the money would go?
> It absolutely is $0 free to pick and use.

What is? What's the "it" that "absolutely is $0 free to pick and use"?

A: The software, as-is (as-was) at the moment they downloaded it.

What does that "it" not include?

A: Any guarantee of support, bugfixes, maintenance or future development.

Those all cost extra, or one is free to go without.

That, as I seem to recall someone repeatedly pointing out here, is how the free market works. HTH!

I'm not a security researcher, so I'd like to know if (probably "why") this is a bad idea:

It seems like there should be some intermediary stage between logging the vulnerability & full public disclosure. Something like a partial public disclosure that says "Hey, we have a CVSS 10 about to come down on Log4j, everyone carve out a chunk of time to get their systems fixed when we publish to full disclosure & patch."

And security & sysadmins around the world can get ready to work before exploits can get too much of a hold.

No, you are still vulnerable, even with just what we know today and we're still finding more ways to break this library.

1. Attackers can still load code in your class path.

2. Attackers can steal environment variables, VM information, system information, etc.

3. The issue isn't specific to LDAP in any way, that was just a particularly brutal way to exploit this vulnerability. There are other ways to achieve RCE.

We may find even more ways to attack this in the future. It is absolutely not a good idea to assume you're safe right now - if you have log4j in your dependency tree, you should keep a close eye on the discourse as it evolves.

edit: I'll just say that I think it's really premature to tell anyone that they're safe.

Drug dealer blames addicts for substance abuse. No shit Sherlock, but you're not accused of coming up with the filth or consuming it - you're accused of being a primary trafficker. In fact, the comparison with a dealer is mild, as Facebook is to a typical drug dealer what Walmart is to your local convenience store. Escobar has nothing on Zuckerberg.
I think a lot of people would already consider the cases you've declared to be relevant - where dying due to bounds failure is unacceptable - to be niche cases which need to do their own work to stabilise and not act like this is everybody else's problem. It isn't, for example, as if explicitly checking bounds isn't possible in Rust if you want to do something other than give up.

For example I would consider it acceptable if feeding badly corrupted MP3s to the MP3-capable CD-radio makes it stop working... until I disconnect the power and restart it. Nobody dies, if it's very annoying I should remove the offending MP3 file. Whereas if it causes random mayhem that's a problem because now troubleshooting is impractical and most likely the apparent solution is to replace the entire device.

And remember that such "turn it off and on again" is considered acceptable even in some systems you probably deem safety critical, so long as it needn't happen when actively dangerous. For some years trains in the UK with a beacon-based safety system couldn't handle waking up next to a beacon, their firmware wanted to start by not seeing a beacon, then encounter beacons while travelling - so waking up next to one was confusing and they'd go into an error state. The fix? Mostly "don't park the train there when it's to be switched off", but when it happened inadvertently, they would move the train a few metres with its safety systems disabled, turn the power off, wait a few seconds, turn the power back on and no longer able to see a beacon it was now happy.

I'm not sure what your point is. Rentier capitalism is a subset of capitalism:

I fail to see how capitalism and free markets, which optimize for profit above all else can have any incentive in reigning in climate change.

There is zero money in preventing deforestation. There is zero money in carbon capture. There is zero money in keeping ocean’s level low.

But there is money in building levees and relocating sea-side communities.

So technically capitalism will favor burning fossil fuels over not doing it. And later when problems like these start to arise, capitalists will create companies to cope with the broken climate and make money off it.

> I've yet to understand where you got that idea from, or what it has to do with all of your nonsensical followup comments.

Which of my comments do you find non-sensical, specifically?

> original claim was “If it were not for central bankers printing money into existence, a person could work their life, save a portion for retirement in a bank account or other fixed income product, while enjoying a positive return on their investment, without taking on market risk of loss of funds.”

Let me lay out my logic:

- If not for central bankers, artificially printing money and putting it in circulation, there would be no inflation. No printing by central bankers = No dilution of the purchasing power of everyone's money -> therefore no inflation.

- In a no inflation environment, any nominal gains are real-gains because there is no inflation to worry about

- In a no inflation environment, for a banker to attract deposits from savers, they would have to offer savers a nominal rate of savings in order to attract those deposits

- In a no inflation environment, any nominal rate paid on savings is a real return, since there is no inflation

- In an FDIC insured savings account savings are insured, therefore not risk

- Unfortunately in our current environment where the Fed is printing money at 25-40% increases in M2 y/y, and CPI reaching 6.8% at last reading, and bank savings accounts paying 0.1%, it is hard to appreciate that a bank account could ever pay a real rate on savings, net of inflation. However, in a world without central bank money printers this is exactly what we would enjoy.

It's fine if everyone is stupid, or most of us choose to engage in stupid things from time to time. I paid $17 to see Transformers. That was pretty stupid, but oh well, no one got hurt.

People want to be entertained and engaged - I do not think they aim to harm. So I think we need to develop alternatives to entertain people - these alternatives can still be stupid, they just shouldn't be harmful.

Several of the features regarding merging, synchronisation, metadata handling are available now (not in the 'DOpus 12 light' release from 2017 I was using).

I will gladly pay my money for the pro version and look forward to using the latest version with my own cat videos.

(Still consider the features as too configurable and not easily 'discoverable' particularly for 'normal' rather than 'tech' users)

I also recognise how amazingly talented the small DOpus12 team are. They've implemented something that Microsoft should have done....
