Assuming the hardware wallet isn't following convention and impliments RFC 6979 (a huge red flag) that is. At that point the hardware wallet can be considered to do all kinds of messed up stuff - what about a wallet that deletes the private keys after X transactions?

This is actually a realistic failure mode - hardware wallets do fail even if rare.
If you're using it personally to connect to your own machines, try looking up the remote desktop assistant. I use this in combination with the VPN built into my router.

I really wish there was a way to set up an RDP gateway without Microsoft server or other complicated setups. There's an open source project rdpgw[0] that provides an RDP gateway, however it requires the use of docker, a web server, and other software. It's not suitable for small use cases like mine (once a month or so, I need to start wsl while away from home, or restart BubbleUPnP service). VPNs and docker add quite a bit of overhead to a system that's already running close to capacity.

It doesn't just make them "feel like they are in control", the driver is in control of manouvering the car.

I guess you're arguing for the fact that not 100% of crashes are avoidable by the driver? Yes, that's true. But a very large percentage is very much avoidable by the driver and the choices they make.

In contrast to a plane crash where the passengers literally have nothing at all they can do to avoid death.

- People who conduct all of their Zoom meetings in front of said bookshelf.

The funding for one year from this one agency amounting to 1.6 billion dollars is a stunning.

Mostly its a "no one gets fired for choosing IBM" thing.

Imagine the position of the CTO if the project went to a smaller sized, not so well known, consulting firm, and it failed. The CTO would be responsible for the failure.

But with firms like Accenture, it would be the firms fault as they "are the experts".

Sadly, IT knowledge is low enough in the general population that this shifting of blame will be the norm for the foreseeable future.

Sorry, but I don't want to be tethered to SaaS solutions or the problems with latency. You can't have cheap, reliable internet over the entire Earth (at least not yet) and low enough ping to work efficiently. Satellite is a no-go for latency, it's primarily an emergency solution dwarfed by the speed, low latency, and bandwidth (speed and bandwidth aren't the same.. channel capacity) of fibre. It's simple physics.
You can certainly take pride in your work and build a good product all the same though. Big consulting companies usually deliver bad products because their structure makes it almost impossible to do anything else.

Consider bitcoin wallet M, that erases the private keys after n transactions? Either you trust your wallet does not do this, or you make copies and trust location/security/something else.

I feel like there's probably some market for something even smaller than today's FPGAs.

I'm picturing situations where you might use a handful of 74xx components to perform a task, but start getting bogged down by factors like "I can't fit 15 chips on my breadboard and even if I did, I'd probably mess up the wiring accidentally".

A full "software at runtime" microcontroller solution introduces its own nuances (having to load and initialize, potential timing factors), even if the price is right.

A still-in-production commercial-grade FPGA means replacing $10 of parts with $100, so it's not really hobbyist-friendly, and may be wildly overkill for the task.

I guess maybe the PAL/GAL ecosystem is sort of what I'm envisioning, but it seems like a dead-end of obscure tools and parts labelled "not suggested for new designs". Or maybe there's a yet-to-be-tapped market for a small-scale hobbyist FPGA that's priced accordingly.

> When a plane or train crashes, we stop everything and redesign the entire network to prevent this from happening again. But each individual death from car accidents is not enough to trigger the same response in cities, planners, and civil engineers.

I used to think this was very dumb and irrational. but eventually I came to think that the statistical death toll doesn't capture the full impact of a problem. how people feel about it is just as important, if not moreso.

yes, driving is pretty high on list of dangerous things we do. but in my whole life I've only known two people that died in crashes and one who was lucky to survive. I take appropriate precautions, of course, but it isn't something that I think about every time I get in a car. on the other hand, if a few guys flew another plane into a skyscraper, I'd be thinking about that every time I got on a plane for a while, even though I'd still be way more likely to die on my way to the airport. doesn't really make sense, but that's how humans are.

the things that make us happy, sad, or fearful are pretty arbitrary in the grand scheme of things. it's not unreasonable to optimize for the things people actually care about. or at least it's not less reasonable than a more "scientific" approach. either way, your goal is to improve the lives of a bunch of intelligent apes.
What gives you that impression? Replication is a too-often neglected aspect of the scientific process, but I've never heard anyone ascribe it to the peer review aspect.
That is completely inaccurate. They didn't say anything like "humans have already discovered all of the “major advances” in the sciences".

They said that the big obvious discoveries have been discovered. There's very little in physics now that doesn't require thousands of person hours, millions in equipment and unbelievable amounts of computing resource.

The stuff that could be discovered by someone working alone has pretty much all been done, because we've already thrown millions of person hours at it.

That's not to say there aren't major advances to be made, it's just REALLY HARD.

Have you heard of Geohash? My mind was blown the first time I learned it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash
TBH even quadkeys are a fun answer to OPs question, many people aren't aware of them.

Simple explanation:

If you have data with x y coordinates and you know the bounds.

To compute the quad key for a point:

1. The key starts as the empty string. (I've also seen it start with "Z" to handle points outside the bounds)

2. Divide the space into 4 quadrants

3. determine which quadrant the point falls in, append a letter (A-D depending on the quadrant) to the key

4. Repeat step 3 using the quadrant bounds (i.e. recursively smaller area) until you have desired accuracy

This can then be used to efficiently find points within rectangular bounds.

Where is this the case? Federally-funded research generally involves experts. When Congress ascribes budgets to research agencies, those don't come from a vacuum.

Just to complain that on top of being a bad heist with the lamest of twists, Oceans 8 explicitly featured an all female crew, but who discover that at the end of the movie a single man pulled an even bigger heist than all of them together with no direct help and without them noticing, substantially undermining their already strained gimmick

Trains are a tough sell, at least in the western US. So much wide open space, trains are slow, high speed trains too expensive to justify given the sparse population.

I remember once doing the math and finding that there are many times when our local light rail is less efficient than just putting four people in a sedan. When the train is full, though, it's unbeatable.

EVs throw another wrench into that math since they're so much more efficient than ICEVs.

> Want to make it less risky personally? Drive less, or drive a safer car.

In addition, avoid doing the things that cause most accidents. Don't drive impaired (sleepy, drunk, etc), pay attention, get some car control training (not required in the US so most people don't).

It'll never get you to zero risk of course, but you can have far lower chance of car crashes than the national average if you make all these choices.
There is also rack rate and discount rate. The rack rate can be insanely high. The discount will take into account several things.
1. How much does the consulting company wants to work with a client? If it is seen as a high profile client or has long term potential then the discount rate will be better.
2. How long will the assignment be? The longer the assignment, the more billable hours for a person and the lesser the company is still paying a full time person when they are not billable.
3. How much is the sales person trying to make a sale? It's the delivery teams' issue to deal with not enough margin to deliver under budget =or just change order the heck out of the client after the sale.
