To say this person joined and then tried to subvert is a pretty dishonest reading of this story. They worked on something for 12 years and I’m sure there were many others similarly invested. To spend such a significant portion of your life on something and have basically no input on how it’s run, directed, etc… is not a good system. In my opinion the people forming the union had much more invested in this company than the people that just invested money. I’d say the handful of people that insist on complete control for having invested money are a cancer to the org and society at large.
I don't see how that matters. If it was fast then, it is still fast.
Well he's a hypothetical billionaire. Problem with holding lots of crypto is that you can't really liquidate your crypto without tanking the economy. That's the point of all the crypto grifts going around, to get people to buy into crypto so the whales can exit.
The idea isn't for people to review the content, the idea is to opt out of content review entirely and replace it with your own human review system and take on the legal responsibility that entails.

Microsoft’s complicated dance with open source
I used to subscribe and they were generally good, but they made no account of cost.

So you might have (made up example) an Electrolux vacuum getting a score of 73, but a Dyson gets a score of 74 and wins their "recommended buy" then you see the Dyson is, like, twice the price.

I can see they might do the review price-blind, but it does make one suspicious that they get some sort of financial benefit from having top picks be vastly more expensive products.

Useful reviews though.

I think that you keep apple products longer than others, I kept my mbp retine 2013 till 2 years ago, iphones I change every 4 years or so (but they support for 5 years the mobile devices iirc), I bought in 10 years 2 apple tvs, while with google you can’t keep your device more than 2/3 years because of updates, most cheap laptops are thrown in a year or two.

So I disagree with you, apple isn’t generating that much waste, but indeed they could generate less by opening the unsupported devices to install alternative OSes.

“The attackers had used the account hacked form/password reset form to gain control of the account through the old_twitter@packt.com email address.”

I have an Osprey Porter, the 4x liter size--pretty much the same thing--and an old Montainsmith large "fanny pack" but mostly use it over the shoulder (or in the Osprey). For business casual-dress business travel and some lightweight hiking and other recreation, I can straightforwardly go for 3-4 weeks like that. Winter is a bit tougher but can still manage as long as it's not too cold.

Overall, I don't carry as much day to day base layer clothing and just rinse in the sink, don't really have laptop stands, may have a mirrorless camera, have a small kit with repair and other small just in case items. (When I was traveling a lot it was handy to have fairly standard kit bags I could just toss in my luggage.)
I'm confused by the laptop setup picture. Does he type on the laptop while it's on the stand? Not ergonomic for me, my hands would get tired too fast and that angle would trigger carpal tunnel.

Is there an external keyboard everywhere he travels that's not mentioned? Or is he standing? Doesn't look like it based on picture.

Tucker was no friend of George's but the anarchist worldview doesn't really hold up to any serious scrutiny. https://cooperative-individualism.org/andelson-robert_critic...

"The anarchists' vagueness in attempting to define occupancy
and use was best exemplified in the correspondence between Tucker and Stephen Byington (who subsequently became a "disciple" of Tucker's).

Byington wanted to know what would happen to occupiers of land or buildings when they would be away from their premises for a period of time.

Tucker, reducing his answer to an absurdity, replied that the very last user and occupier would not only lose his land but his personal property as well."

These are not serious worldviews.

My framing isn't to actively exclude people like some stuck up gatekeeper. Its to stop lowering the bar of entry to anyone who wants to shoot off their dumb opinions online has to expend at least a little effort and brainpower to get there. Lowering the bar to allow even the most willfully tech illiterate to effortlessly post on places like twitter guarantee tragedy of the commons.

Compare the R/C plane hobby before and after Drones hit the market. Before quadcopter drones, R/C aircraft were difficult to fly and required an investment of time and discipline to master the skill. This meant the community was fairly small and dedicated. And it was able to effectively self govern for decades with basically no government intervention required.

Then quadcopters hit the market and it took not even 10 years before the FAA had to intervene because idiots who had no skill or respect for the technology were flying around airports, public gatherings and other restricted areas. Even though things practically fly themselves they were crashing into people and their property. There were serious injuries because they were flown by morons.

So the FAA had to step in and become the gatekeeper.

Is crashing a drone into a person's car or a child the same as idiots on social media? No, but irresponsible use of social media has ruined plenty of people's lives. The connect isn't as obvious but the damage is still there.

We haven't started requiring social media licenses because speech is a protected right of course. And we shouldn't change that. But that means there should be some social responsibility.
Some people just like apps. The experience can be more native to the platform and snappier.

It is funny that you mention: I don't know the source of this, but a whole urban myth was going around in the heydays (India especially for sure) that Orkut Buyukkokten had envisaged a social network in the hopes that he could re-connect with a childhood flame, a girl who he was no longer in touch with [1]. Who would have known back then :)

It's far more performative as a comment, and duplicates dilute the ability to actually read interesting comments.
it's both, competitors in the game (or just trolls) have attacked random in-game players using IPs leaked from things like VOIP chat in games (which is often implemented P2P rather than running through the server) and people also specifically go after streamers to harass them.

I think that's incorrect, public funding is included in revenues.
In 2021, out of ~10B revenues, 4B came from state aid. In terms of operating income, traffic revenues are roughly equal to public sector funding.

Both. Currently I work in supply chain security with a focus on Ruby. I also spend a lot of time cooperating with others in OpenSSF working groups.

I'd had in mind to write about CVSS for some time. I wrote a few paras and created the first plot, but that's as far as I got for about a year. One Saturday morning about 2 months ago I started thinking about it again and got the itch to finish it. It kept growing as I went because I kept finding more to write about.

Edit: the original ambition for my site was more about applying what I have learned about statistics, psychology and economics to general software development and ops. But now that my dayjob is mostly thinking about security it has veered off in that direction instead (for the moment at least).
On the contrary I think it’s a good system. If they want to control the company they can buy 51% of the shares. Those shares are valuable for a reason.
Where is that setting? I've never seen that?

Edit: Never mind, it's "Block offensive words" under "Text Correction". Easy to find, strange I never noticed it. Thanks!
Your belief system isn’t congruent with US labor law. Why leave when you can make your existing job better?

Your other comment indicates they should have to amass 51% of company shares. Ridiculous. Their ability to organize and vote to do so comes from their labor rights, and is precisely why they don’t require capital (per labor law) to have a say.

Businesses can be built without capital. They cannot be built without labor.

Agreed. I'd never really thought about it that way. I have been contract architect... and while it was a better position, I would say the work suffered for my personal lack of intra-company relationships.

Going forward I would probably avoid contract work with those responsibilities.

On the other hand, call me a consultant, hire me from a higher level sponsor, and at least I have a clear remit.
There is just no way the SEC can deal with all the new projects coming out every month. It hasn't even gone after most of the ICO's of 2017.

Why do you think it will be smaller? There are more VC funds than ever before pumping more money into the system.
In my opinion, if you are starting a company in the US, you're supposed to follow labor law. Founders who create a company and then try to ignore the rules they signed up for are a cancer to society.

The comparison to "cancelling" is coming up a lot, but I think this is a reasonably simple way to distinguish the two:

Employment requires sustained two-way consent. An employer should not have to pay someone money only to have that person make their lives more difficult than otherwise. Just as an employee should be free to quit a company whose goals they find disagreeable.

Cancelling is when a 3rd party comes into an otherwise consensual employer-employee relationship (or publisher-author relationship, really any business relationship) and demanding that to end.

That air filter will move such a small volume of air, it's basically useless unless you're in a small closet.
I am no professional but air quality as been a pet peeve of mine, here is my advice.

The main problem with air purifier is that they create a false sense of security while doing only part of the job, and in many cases the job can be done better by opening the windows to change the air.

The step number one if you care about your air quality, is getting an air quality monitor. They are quite cheap, and should display temperature, humidity, PM2.5, TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), and CO2.

Then you can treat the problem adequately if you have one.

If your home ventilation was well designed and you live in a non-polluted area the numbers should be OK.
Then you only need an air purifier if you create some kind of dust and/or not ventilate during cooking.

If they aren't : try opening windows a little and experiment to see if you can maintain the number in the correct range throughout the day and year. If you can't you'll probably have to have some form of professional installation to get the ventilation done properly or need to move.

HEPA filters in air purifier, only remove particulates but have no effect on TVOC or CO2. HEPA filters are expensive and need to be changed regularly.

TVOC and CO2 only grow indoor, the only thing you can impact is how fast they grow, and therefore how often you will have to change your air to maintain good enough quality.

To reduce the growth rate of TVOC the first thing to do is track the sources of it and remove them (for example avoid bad paints, glues, remove clutter (the less object surfaces you have the less they emit and use inert surface materials), chemical bottles...), and then make sure that you keep temperature and humidity stable.

To remove CO2, the only way is to have adequate ventilation (either by opening the windows or by mechanical ventilation), (and you can only get as low as the CO2 concentration of the outside air (which is growing...) ).

This ventilation will bring fresh air from the outside. Then it all depends on where you live and the quality, temperature, humidity of the exterior air.

For example if you live in a cold place, opening the windows will lose lot of heat, so you can mitigate this problem by using a ventilation that recover part of the loss heat. If you live in a humid place bringing you probably need some ventilation that dry the air. But the key is to ventilate as little as possible to maintain the number in the good range.

If you live in a place where the quality of the exterior air is bad, you probably should move, but in the mean time you can use an air purifier to mitigate the PM2.5 problem.

If you live in an old place that was designed without ventilation in mind, it will be quite expensive and may create some noise, and you probably should move.

People thought the news feed was creepy.
