Adobe Flash (the player and authoring tool) was so good for the indie game scene! I'm pretty sure it was horrible for every other use-case, but back in the day Kongregate had some of the most interesting, inventive and well-done games I'd ever scene. I've never experienced so many novel game mechanics, and all because the barrier-to-entry was so low. I see why there was never any money in it for Adobe (btw valiant effort with Flex!) but the death of Flash still makes me sad for this reason alone.
40 days would still be amazing.

WG can live without keepalives(though it can use them), there is no real "session" concept. A peer will just connect back when the traffic starts flowing.

On the zero-trust front - it's not really meant to completely replace authentication but it does help with minimizing attack surface. It does help with encrypting traffic, especially for stuff that does not talk https.
Mark gets a lot of flack for metaverse, but can imagine world design where you start in a blank room and describe what you want around you, and it appears. Like the Matrix loading white room.

While it's true that cover-to-exercise is more cash-intensive, if it's only for the first 50 or so employees, it would seem viable for a company like Stripe that has strong cash flow. The problem with ISOs is they effectively halve the value of the award due to taxes, and furthermore can impose extremely risky tax situations on people who can't afford to lose much (e.g. employees who exercise before IPO).

Performance-based comp could follow the public CEO comp model where the percentage of the package vests as a function of share price and/or milestones like liquidity events. Usually the milestones are also KPI-related, but ignore that for a moment. The packages could be RSUs and/or cash. This way the employees don't have to deal with the risk of options, and the company doesn't have to vest shares until they're actually worth something and taxes can be paid. Not sure how the package could survive after termination. It could end up being regulated the same way AMT was introduced but ... the reason ISOs exist is tradition, not because modern tax risks. Should be open for disruption / competition.
Beautiful, is a dream to have a device that you can forget about charge it and "range anxiety", I hope it will be implemented at least in smartwatch in the next years.
You're implying "SaaS" means subscription only, and the opposite of SaaS is "pay once". But there's various pricing models available. Usage-based pricing for example. Feature-based, or a combo of different ways to structure the price. Maintenance plans is another way, where to get the latest version requires payment but otherwise it keeps working.

Pay once still works. You could have increased the price to $500 or something. It would then take 3+ years of subscription pricing to equal one pay-once amount. Many users would opt for subscription anyway in that case.

> noisy predictions from some of our customer base

When customers make noises about the pricing, you have the choice to stand your ground and fight the war on pricing. Or you could meet them half way. But you stuck to your guns, and so did I when I jumped ship back when the newly released Construct 3 was indeed Chrome only at the time. I never made noises on the forums about it because I was fairly new to Construct 2. I just left quietly.

“To my knowledge, we do not currently purchase commercial database information that includes location data derived from internet advertising,” Wray said. “I understand that we previously—as in the past—purchased some such information for a specific national security pilot project. But that’s not been active for some time.” He added that the bureau now relies on a “court-authorized process” to obtain location data from companies.
My only knowledge on modeling languages is: TLA+ exists, I've seen Lamport's introductory videos/course, I've followed along to the course examples.

At a glance, I like that this looks more approachable to write, and I like that. Can it still be used to prove properties like liveliness? The fact that Fault seems to use bounded loops seems counter-intuitive to proving those "x eventually happens" conditions. As I understand (from a distance) you can model those in TLA+.

PS. The question regards the design of Fault, not the current state of implementation.

I appreciate the hackery aspect of this but I have very high levels of doubt that this path will amount to anything significant. Aside from that, it’s slightly annoying that they repeated a false premise (or at best half-truth) twice at the beginning and left a significant piece of how it works (it’ll turn on and off) till the middle. I think everyone knows that you can harvest solar power but the problem with it is its unpredictability.

It doesn’t have to be the same experience as playing a game boy, but maybe start off with that: it’s not the same way as playing any console really, having to wait for a few seconds every ten is not only annoying, it won’t work for a significant amount of “computing”.
I've heard of AM radio being audible in non-electric structures, like an old hangar door. Some combination of geometry, metal surface condition (corrosion?), and proximity to a station.

Korea's Demilitarized Zone – Google Arts and Culture
Last mile ISPs are the wrong place to do anything like that. The middle of the network is no place for traffic mangling because it already requires state of the art equipment to transfer that much data whatsoever, much less do packet inspection on it to try to guess what's a DDoS and what's just a lot of real traffic, and then get it wrong and block legitimate flows or new applications.

What's needed is a way for recipient endpoints to tell upstream networks that they (temporarily) don't want traffic from particular sources. But that requires a new network protocol, not some arbitrary policy judgement on the part of random ISPs.

Huh, did Stripe move to RSU-based packages earlier than typical? So they would have had to move from options to RSUs in, like, year 4 of the company? Didn't Facebook not do RSUs until year 6?

Just adding on to taniwha's correct comments -- it is possible to indirectly image the charge using thermal stimulation of the laser to induce the Seeback effect. The local heating will cause the current consumption of the chip to shift ever so slightly in a fashion that's dependent on the state of the transistor's bias. [1] is where I first read about the technique.

Strongly agree. I used to be a long-haired, long-bearded, t-shirt wearing nerd, and when I started remote work a decade ago, I used the default laptop camera, which gave a great view of the interior of my nostrils.

At some point, I decided to spruce up my appearance. Shaved the hair and beard, bought collared shirts, switched to an external webcam on a boom arm, with a green screen and software to generate a soothing backdrop instead of my cluttered electronics lab. Added a decent quality directional microphone (also boom-mounted) and installed better lighting.

I also replaced my profile photo, taken with the same up-the-nostril webcam, with a professionally taken photo.

The level of respect and engagement from my colleagues went through the roof. Best tech lifehack I ever did.

Because shares in a company represents something of value. Just because a company’s shares are privately held doesn’t make them worthless. The IRS has ways to estimate valuations of privately held companies.

The problem unique to folks likely to be reading here is the exponential growth that can happen in early stage start ups. The options might’ve represented 100k in value when they were granted, but grown to 1m in value by the time they vested.

If you exercise you owe ~300k in taxes. Even if you have that cash the exercised shares could become worth 0 and you’ll just be out the money.

I thought this paragraph was super weasely. He is specifically saying that they don't buy directly from internet advertising sources, but there are private intel firms[1] that act as middle-men. They offer an interface and tooling that is geared for national security purposes.

The wording of this comment specifically excludes a conclusion on private intel firms. Private Intel middle men would still evade application of the Carpenter decision, and it is obviously superior for the government to work with an agency like that do to human rights and what-not.

It's my understanding that now ubiquiti used to be a good company/solution, but they ruined that recently by introducing a lot of "phoning home"-like "features" for their routers. Given that the tech group is almost always more privacy/security oriented than typical, and that's Ubiquiti's target audience, it was a very poor choice on their part and probably removed a significant portion of their customers.

Perhaps the solution that the tech-oriented crowd will move to now is just making things from scratch, I haven't seen the clear consensus on it yet.

This is the Petitioning Portal for the ASSU, Stanford University's student government. It replaces the need to get signatures on a paper petition, and is automatically validated.

Petitions are uniquely valuable as compared to primary elections, because meeting a petition threshold requires active participation on the part of the candidate, and you can't succeed on name recognition alone.

None of that actually seems to contradict the claim that SSDs encrypt everything by default. You're just pointing out various ways that the encryption keys are not kept secure. If you haven't configured your system to make use of the drive's encryption capabilities in a secure way, the drive can (and all evidence points to does) still pass the data through the encryption for whitening without attempting to use the encryption process to provide security.

> Counterintuitively it’s the very prescriptive laws that allow companies to more easily come up with loopholes because legislators can’t possibly conceive of every scenario in advance, whereas the vague laws allow the courts to decide each new situation case by case as it arises.

If the law uses the words "purposely harm the network" instead of "harm the network" then it's harder to claim it applies to services that e.g. increase congestion by sending a lot of legitimate data. Being clearer narrows the scope of the excuses their lawyers can emit.

Letting the RSUs expire is even more scammy.
Yes, that is exactly my point. You cannot start threads at 0/25/50/75 if your data is in CSV format. But what I am saying is that, if you could do that, then your performance difference will be negligible, compared to using a single thread that parses the CSV into rows and passes chunks of rows to 4 separate threads.

In fact, the single-thread parser approach (with multi-thread processing) might even be better, because it is not trying to access your hard disk in 4 places at the same time. Then again, if your threads are doing some non-trivial task with each row, then IO will not be your bottleneck either way.

Obviously starts to break down if you aren't reading the whole file and you wanted to start some meaningful portion of the way in and never process what comes before it. The point is, the benefit of being able to, effectively, implicitly shard a file without saving as separate files-- might not be as impactful in practice as in theory

It's absolutely not crazy talk that electrical current in the body is likely relevant to the healing process.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that makes people extremely vulnerable to infection, though I don't think current medical science knows why. It's a salt wasting condition and salt is an electrolyte.

The most common test for CF is a sweat chloride test which basically determines how salty you sweat is. A lesser known test is the nasal potential difference test which measures how out of whack your body is for electrical current.

https://cysticfibrosisnewstoday.com/cystic-fibrosis-diagnosi...

The only immediately obvious problem I can suggest for the idea of e-bandages is the same one I so frequently have with modern medicine: it strikes me as being pursued or optimized for making money, not healing patients.

The article cites issues with diabetes. Cystic fibrosis puts one at risk for a little known form of diabetes called Cystic Fibrosis Related Disbetes (CFRD).

It seems to me that there is plenty of room for upping our game on understanding how and why the body chemistry gets out of whack such that it interferes with electrical current in the body and providing dietary suggestions for how to prevent and/or reverse such.

But, of course, that's probably not going to lead to a patent that could potentially make someone very wealthy, so it's unlikely to be pursued, promoted, etc.
Honestly though, this is sound advice sometimes.
