Samsung has this on some phones called intelligent wi-fi...

https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterpr...

>Intelligent Wi-Fi provides four features that aim to improve consumers’ Wi-Fi experience:

Network Bearer Switching

Auto Wi-Fi

Suspicious Hotspot Detection

Enhanced Power Saving

>Intelligent Wi-Fi is the new brand name of the existing “Adaptive Wi-Fi” which had been applied to models older than Galaxy S10 (e.g. Galaxy S9 or older models). It has been improved by adding a new feature such as Suspicious Network Detection and also enhancing existing features such as Network Bearer Switching.

>Auto Wi-Fi
>People use Wi-Fi differently based on their location. In places where Wi-Fi is available, we turn on Wi-Fi to avoid being charged for mobile data. On the other hand, if Wi-Fi is always on, we are subjected to frequent, unwanted connections and higher power consumption. To solve this problem, we have introduced Auto Wi-Fi, which turns Wi-Fi on and off depending on your location. Auto Wi-Fi addresses these connectivity-related pain points.

>Auto Wi-Fi pays close attention to your connection patterns and remembers your favorite networks. It turns your Wi-Fi on when a favorite network is available. When you leave the area and the network becomes unavailable, Auto Wi-Fi will automatically turn off your Wi-Fi.
It's definitely obscure.
If you've got 8 weeks of runway left, you're dead in the water regardless. You should be spending time looking for a new opportunity, not trying to police the CEO of your failing startup.

Like is what they're doing right? Is it legal? Can you do anything about it? All interesting questions, but, none of the answers are going to meaningfully change your situation.
Oh, you're right, it does spam history in Firefox. Safari and Chrome too. I'm using Edge and it doesn't - theres just one entry in history.
How many co-founders are there? Is the CEO a co-founder?
Edit to add: feel free to email me (address is in my profile) if you'd like to discuss this with someone in private. I've co-founded multiple startups, but don't have any experience with a bad situation like this, so could give general perspective only, but if you just need someone to talk to I can be that person.

---

The first question to ask is, what would you like to see happen?

Considering the short runway and the apparent problems with the CEO, do you see value in the company and would you like to keep it alive? Are you ready to write it off, and you just want to manage the endgame to ensure that yourselves, other employees (if any), customers (if any), investors, or other parties are treated fairly? Is there some other outcome that you'd like to optimize for?

Separately: who are the members of your board? I've never dealt with a situation like you're describing, but at a high level I imagine you have basically three channels for action:

1. Call a board meeting, fire the CEO.

2. Legal action. I'm not sure whether this sort of action is something you could sue over, something you could ask the police to press criminal charges for, both, or something else. Consider, however, that filing a lawsuit is expensive, and it's not obvious to me that either of these actions would benefit you in any practical way (aside from revenge, if you're looking for that).

3. "Soft power" – threaten to do (1) or (2) above, or to quit, or do other things, in order to coerce the CEO into leaving / behaving better / whatever else you'd like to see.

One other note: while I'm off the edge of my experience and expertise here, I can imagine possible scenarios where you could wind up in legal trouble if you're not careful. (For instance, if you're on the board and fail to take appropriate action now that you're aware of the problem?) You might want to consult a lawyer for this reason alone.
> Quite frankly unless there is a US intervention in Mexico (never gonna happen as the US would lose)

This is such a strange hypothetical. The US is not expansionist, why would it attack Mexico? Helping people with the barrel of a gun was tried in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a very large part of the US population did not like that at all. But you could say that the Iraq and Afghanistan regimes were enemies of the US. Mexico is in no way an enemy, the idea that the US would start a military action against Mexico is baffling. I never heard of anything like that. And if the US starts such an action, but the popular will is against it, it's a certain recipe for disaster. The defeat in Vietnam was not due to the US being beaten on the battlefield, it was due to the domestic anti-war protests.

Don’t see how those prevent tokens from being misused? They just prevent anyone from issuing tokens as you. Not by themselves, but if you implement your server correctly.
> from the UAE, purchasing a city for $35 billion

Ras al-Hekma for those curious. It sounds like a terrible deal on all sides. It's a bad vehicle for UAE money, it leaves Egypt with "35% guaranteed profits" on a planned city, and the UN is busily green washing the entire affair to curry political favor.

> concerns about how these funds are managed

Egypt seems completely squeezed. It's uniquely impacted by both the war on Ukraine and Gaza with the IMF having to step in and give them $3 billion later upgraded to $8 billion in emergency relief. The money is going to evaporate. My concern is there won't be any local economy or businesses left under these policies when it all dries up.
this is my way out of the "what is truth?" questioning

"the truth" is conceptually an adjective. to treat it as a noun is to get into philosophically tight spaces.
I, for one, look forward to a strong trend of innovation in billionaire-crushing machines.

er, "luxury submersibles", I mean :P
The battery replacement meme seems like mostly propaganda. Lots* of 10 year old EVs have 20% or less degradation. That's very usable.

Excluding cars without active thermal management, which mostly means the Nissan Leaf.
It's semantics and definitions all the way down.

"Green" as in Plato's form, an external perfect entity surpassing out physical word, probably doesn't exist.

"Green" as in a specific frequency of electromagnetic spectrum we choose to label thusly, exists
Why does this even need a server?
> I have often thought about writing a blog from my experiences, but after I write the thoughts down seem like common sense in nature or just plain ranting.

Same. Trying to get over that and just write anyway.
Anecdotally, all of my friends renting have had their rents continually raised with no breaks. Perhaps there is a wider trend, but if so, their landlords do not seem aware of it.
I feel that empty houses and apartments should pay more taxes after a year or two of being empty.

I also see a lot of empty properties for years on end in the middle of town.
To make people less interested in AI. They are the leaders in non-AI search.
How? They receive IR but can’t transmit it!

Even if it was possible to propagate with the bands themselve (I think the vendor’s website mentions there is a Bluetooth version, maybe you could with that), you still have the problem of not knowing where any are, so if you actually want to show anything meaningful on a group of these, you can’t really. You can just make annoying flashes.
That would assume the cost is borne by the attacker, and not every smart thermostat in their botnet.
And now we are running very short of buildable volume. There are not many places left you can build a tower. We need to allow a lot more. Also, in the meantime, we have added more time to the permitting process, all in the name of aesthetics/design, not safety.
> It's semantics and definitions all the way down.

all the way out to measurement i.e. measured data i.e. inputs.
As many have noted, the problem is largely Byzantine zoning regulations, NIMBYism, and a "vetocracy" system that makes it extremely hard to build housing in so major metropolitan areas. For example, NYC likely needs at least half a million new homes to keep up with demand.
I can't be the only one curious - How much is locked up?
opaque apart from that you should verify that the JWT token is issued by a trusted party and fulfills claims that your service requires? :P (Unless those parts are handled by a library you've configured to check this).
Also, my grief with DF is they aren't typed (typing module) by column. Maybe that's changed though? It's been a while.

The only way to understand what's going on with DF code is to step it in a debugger. I know they can be much faster, but man you pay a maintainability price!
Giving them money is unlikely to help. They do not have any incentive to go faster.
The size didn’t seem to make a difference
> The reason Home Ownership is desirable is that the pricing of houses go up faster...

No.

No.

The reason it's desirable it that I've lived in three flats in three years because subsequent landlords wanted to sell their property. I don't want to buy because it's a good investment, I want to buy so I can actually settle down in an area, and not be constantly moving.
And also, EV charging would a lot better than it is now. Gas stations are everywhere because the cars are everywhere. If EVs were the bulk of cars on the road, the charging experience would be better than it is now in the same way.
Maybe that's why "The Next Industrial Revoluiton" is in quotes. The media is not doing us any favours by publishing more hype.

Perhaps this speculation will eclipse the real Industrial Revolution in terms of damage to the environment.
This is true, but I wouldn't underestimate the tax advantages property investment has relative to other investments in many countries.

Take Australia for example. People in NZ often say a CGT won't help because AU has one and it doesn't seem to make a difference. What they forget is that there is 50% discount on CGT there, so the relative advantage of property investment remains. Also negative gearing.

In the US I believe there are two obvious advantages given to residential property investment - 30 year fixed mortgages and tax deductions on interest payments.

I think it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to guess that all of those countries I mentioned earlier have different reasons for residential property investment being favoured relative to more productive investments.
>> If you throw 1000 dices, is it possible to get all one? Yes. Is it likely? Not at all.

> That's literally as likely as any other possible outcome.

???

If you want any outcome, they're equally likely.

But the prev post chose a particular outcome, and any particular outcome is rare.

There's no contradiction.

So what's the insight?

This distinction is popularly represented by the "Monty Hall problem": should you take the offer of the other door.

The problem involves 3 doors with a prize behind only one, where you choose 1 of the three, then Monty shows you what's behind 1 of the remaining 2, which is not the prize, then asks you if you would like to switch to the remaining door.

You might think that your odds won't change because nothing behind the doors has changed, or might get worse because the offer is a second chance to pick the dud.

But instead of 3 doors, imagine 1000 doors. You pick 1. Monty shows you what's behind 998 that aren't the prize and asks you if you want to switch.

By switching, your 1-of-1000 odds become 1-of-2.

The particulars matter.

They also have to remove that "golden visa" in Spain due to the same problem. I wonder if Italy, Greece, and Malta will also remove/reform their law due to the same problem...
Same. I've been scraping PDF'ed magazines, etc. and keeping them locally. In addition to feeding my byte-hoarding tendencies, I like the idea I could be off-grid in my van/RV somewhere and reading a "Popular Electronics" magazine from 1972 on my laptop.

Similar systems were proposed in the late '90s/early 2000s (hashcash/micropayments) to combat spam. The big problem isn't a technological one, it's that it presupposes some "sweet spot" price (negligible for legitimate users, yet prohibitive for abusers) that has never been shown to exist in reality.

(also, you're arguably just moving the problem to DDoSing the payment processing / firewall mechanism)

Dns A/AAAA record = IP address

Dns SRV record = IP:port

Not sure why SRV never really caught on for most internet stuff.

(Edit: SRV records are hostnames, not IPs, so I guess it takes two lookups?)
No, it's a necessary feature if your credentials get stolen, which wouldn't surprise me considering how many people just cram JWTs into local storage, which is not the same as a secure cookie and has weaker security. Either you're setting the expiry time real low (which still won't stop someone who has four minutes 59 seconds left to wreck your stuff, because computers are fast), or you're maintaining a blacklist, which means, congratulations, you've just reinvented overly-complicated session tokens.
Another weirdness: for Mac's Option key to work as "Alt" in VS Code (and many other programs IIRC), you need to set the keyboard layout to "Unicode Hex Input" instead of "US". Otherwise, the Option key enters accents and variations of letters (and there is no Alt).

Also trading up comes with stamp duty, which is a damper on moving house unless you absolutely have to. Not only is your new house bigger and more expensive then anything you've ever bought before with that extra bedroom, plus the large expenses and hassle of moving in general, it's likely another £10k or more in stamp duty unless your new 3-bed is somewhere pretty cheap in the country. You don't get the first time buyer discount either, as you already have a house.

It's basically a tax that punishes labour mobility and not oversizing property.

Of course, you have to pay to heat and maintain that bigger house and pay higher council tax on it, so your saved stamp duty will probably be used after a few years, so in an ultra-rational way, it comes out in the wash, but it certainly doesn't feel like it at the time.
The advantage of redis or similar kv DBs / caches comes in being lighter and faster than a full second database, mostly.

The secondary advantage is you don't need to deal with cookie storage, sticky sessions or anything else along those lines.

If you're manually hand crafting a server, go for it. If you're treating them like cattle not pets, going stateless with a bearer token tends to be easier.
Strange they call it an HOA when it sounds like the basic concept of “home ownership” doesn’t actually exist.

First thing I did when I bought a house was smash a nail in the wall and hang a picture. Well I guess the second, I ripped down walls and painted first.
My EV charging, at 32A, draws more power than the rest of the house combined at peak load. The battery capacity is also equivalent to the house's max power usage for an entire day. Even when the low temperature is 90F/32C.

I hired an electrician to come out and install the 240V 50A circuit. I'm sure I could've, but our local code requires it, I don't want our insurer to deny our claim if something goes wrong. I, obviously, think people should be pretty careful with 10kW (or more) continuous load for hours at a time.

I definitely don't think people should lean on janky solutions that are technically feasible when it comes to EV power.
DNS SRV. So much promise. Ultimately just became "I know where exchange is!"
Worth keeping in mind that the UK has quite a lot of social housing, more than most of it's European neighbours and Anglosphere offshoots, yet still struggles more than most with housing. Social housing is not a silver bullet.
JWT make the most sense for zero trust machine to machine authentication, where you might also want to authorize certain verbs/actions/roles after confirming the requester's identity. For example, I use a JWT-based authentication and role-based authorization scheme for a fleet of Raspberry Pis communicating with each other on a LAN or network overlay, and also with a multi-tenant API on a public internet-facing VM. The Pis manage 3D print jobs.

For users/people/apps, I usually rely on session-based authentication. Sometimes I need light RBAC at this layer too (users, teams, admins, etc).

Another benefit that hasn't been mentioned yet is menu bars (e.g. File, Edit, View, Help, etc...)

Having a visible menu bar helps with feature discoverability.

While it's true that terminal-based editors can have menu bars (e.g. nano), they're more limited overall than what you'll find with native OS menu bars.

Egypt is an amalgam. Those people stayed and became Egyptians and interbred. That’s like saying Western Europeans have no claim to Western Europe because it was settled by people from the Caucasus who bred with the natives. Or that the British have no claim to the UK because they were taken over by Romans.

We can do things remotely, but trying to do complex things with lots of expert input and less-than-perfect management is _way_ harder to do remotely than in-person. We evolved to work things out with other people, not via a low-res video and slightly out-of-sync audio.
About the biggest delay in Seattle permitting is the requirement to get a board of volunteer assholes to approve the visual appearance of the project, which is estimated to add an average of 8 months to the permitting process but is allowed to last for an indefinite period. The average total permitting time for these projects (over 35,000sq ft) is about 18 months.

Hopefully they will be thrown out soon. The really fun note is that these boards are almost entirely made up of architects who are getting the chance to single-handedly destroy a competitor’s work.

> ...the best option for that is ULA...

I have both globally-routable and ULA addresses assigned to the hosts on my LAN. The ULA addresses are in my local DNS, and I update global DNS whenever the site's global prefix changes. Aside from the fact that the global prefix changes way too frequently (like once a quarter) it works great for me.

> ...so we end up randomly generating them (and rotating them!)...

Yeah, I turn this shit off whenever I have the power to. This was a fucking stupid-ass thing to have on by default. Hella buncha ways you can be tracked that give zero shits about what your IP address is. (This is one time when I wish the Net Heads would have consulted with the Web Heads and learned about how trackers actually work.)

> NAT is here to stay, unfortunately, and so is DHCP.

Nothing wrong with doing DHCPv6 and SLAAC, or just DHCPv6. My network just uses SLAAC, but folks who need more features than that provides have another tool they can deploy. This is a good thing.

And you __can__ use NAT if you choose to, but if you're being assigned a publicly-routable prefix, there's no real reason to. Set up your border firewall to deny inbound unsolicited traffic, and set up uPNP (or similar) to hole-punch and you end up with the same security guarantees.
Part of that is also a fact that renters face the pressure that real estate firms now use big data to manage the rent accross a set of units. They know people will keep paying to avoid the skids so they can keep both rents high, and vacant houses because the over under makes them money.
If you had the state / city charge rent to owners on vacant property you'd see rents fall through the floor as realestate companies would quickly pack anyone that could pay something into an structure.
Sorry for the confusion - they have advanced their payroll for a total amount of 13 weeks (accumulated through multiple pay stubs), while they have requested still getting paid weekly like the rest of us. So their behavior seems like they are trying to max out the values before they check out.

Their advances will probably last us another 2 weeks, and we only have 8 weeks of runway left because we are at the end of our pre-seed incubation program, and we are about to raise our seed round with our lead investor in a few weeks.

I can't agree more that this will eat up our time and resources very fast, but we also want them out before we pitch to our lead investor for the seed round. We have already spent a week investigating this issue ever since we noticed something wrong, so we have a very narrow time window for us to take actions, ideally by early next week.
