> In other words, it's staffed by Israeli kids who made the choice most of us would have made under the circumstances. It seems a bit unfair to hold that against them more than 10 years later, no?

You could say the same about the guy in a call center in India trying to pull a tech support scam on you over the phone. Yes, he's probably making the best choice he can for his own livelihood, probably the same thing you would do in his position. No, that doesn't mean you should trust him.

Just as you have to treat all Chinese companies as under control of the PRC government and all Australian companies as compromised by their security services, you have to treat all Israeli citizens as under the control of the Israeli military. Any adult can be conscripted and they have a history of disguising military operations as civilian ones. Someone might tell you they left the Israeli military 10 years ago and they're probably telling the truth, but if you make a habit of believing that statement you're going to get burned.

- Start open device companies?

- Develop open software that competes with walled gardens in quality and ease of use?

- Sponsor open software?

- Use open software?

- Engage in lobbying?

- Drop exploits (that would be worth a pile of gold) to let people jailbreak devices?

- ...

It only takes one student to lose an arm, face, life and their parents will sue the school into oblivion and start PAPT (parents against power tools) or something "for the kids!"

I'm on your side that I'd rather see the tools at the school. At the same time, I took an auto-shop class in high school and the majority of students in the class were dipshits and were lucky not to get more hurt. The teacher managed to stop them just in time from trying to turn over an engine on a rack that would have crushed them if the teach had been 5 second later.

> always writing "black" (as in African-American) with a capital B

Not really agreeing or disagreeing with your overall point, but I'm fine with this practice. I used to think it was weird, but I've come to realize some things:

1. "Black" is not acting as a descriptor of color. Black people do not have black skin. Black people with even the darkest of skin in the spectrum of "Black person" still do not have black skin. So the word is being used in a very different way than its common meaning.

2. "Black person" has become a proper noun of sorts, in parallel to "Asian person", etc. I also see most (all?) publications that capitalize "Black" to also capitalize "White" when talking about race, which seems reasonable through this lens.

I've been in the author's shoes and your comment reminds me of how people would blame me for my own social failures, often with bizarre rationales. It's obvious that the author is not happy with his social life. Nobody wants to be around a bitter person. But his problems are real and caused mainly by him not being accepted by others, almost certainly because of his looks. And he need not look worse than the average man or worse than the women he is pursuing to get a lot of rejection either. It sucks but unfortunately just being aware of this doesn't fix anything. You can always try to look better, but looking better than 90% of guys is not in the cards for most. At least being aware of it as a guy can help you avoid overthinking and to break free of the white lies people say to avoid telling you basic stuff like maybe you need to do <insert uncomfortable thing> or maybe you're just one of the unlucky ones.

They were really expensive, but people confused quality (why else would it cost so much) with convenience and were happy not knowing about anything else.

It's a good strategy, works well for other companies. But when you remove the convenience part of it everything else falls apart too.

No, Amtrak trains are always prioritized. Well, almost always.

Every train journey is planned in advance, so that each block of rail is reserved for a specific train and only that train. When those reservations are made, Amtrak trains get priority over freight trains. However, in recent decades the average length of the freight trains has increased greatly. This results in trains that are too long to fit on any of the sidings. This means that it is possible for a freight train to be in a place where it cannot pull into a siding and allow an Amtrak train to pass or overtake it. The law simply does not anticipate this scenario, and it cannot force the freight companies (who own most of the track) to extend their sidings to accommodate the larger trains or to change the length of their trains. I believe that the FRA has tried to resolve this for some time, but unsuccessfully. At this point it will take either a big lawsuit or an act of Congress to fix the problem.

It should also be noted that if an Amtrak train is forced to stop and wait on some other train, that this does not delay the Amtrak train. The stop is part of the train’s schedule so while it makes the trip longer it doesn’t make the train late.

On the other hand, an Amtrak train that is _already_ late loses its reservations and therefore could get delayed even more by freight trains. No guarantees though; sometimes they make up time simply because there are no freight trains in the way.
Quietly being your best self doesn't give us substantial change, though. Consider that all of the big gains in civil rights for various groups came from people being loud about their belief in equality, and insisting that people who felt otherwise were wrong.

We make embedded devices, the higher end are running linux.

But, they developped the linux devices as it was a desktop computer, the biggest latency hogs we have are multiprocess architecture over dbus, and event based UI which fetches live data.
The result is a slow and hanging UX, which gets slower after each update, and is irritating customers.
The lower end devices we sell are bare metal, and they are liked by our customers due to their swiftness. They just have a different architecture that focuses on end result (monolith, and a cache of data to display).
We do keep finding new bodies of water. Unfortunately, they come in the form of hurricanes.

Talent or skills is essential but alone is not enough. while the size and quality of the talent pool helps it is not sufficient to explain the success rate, considering that there are similar or better quality talent pools which are larger in many countries around the world, but they don't have the success rates Israeli startups and 8200 ones specifically have compared to their home market and talent pool size.

It is not some conspiracy either, success as founder has strong network effects and positive feedback loops, right mentorship, access to talent pool, or access to funding and people who can open doors all becomes easier when your network already has some success. Similar reason second time founders have it easier they can tap into their personal version of a network.

It is not unusual to Israel/8200, the valley itself benefits from this effect heavily after all.
How exactly do you use what looks like work-planning software non-commerically?

>that's bad because the income is first taxed when the corporation declares it as income and then again when the shareholders receive the dividend.

Why is that bad? The first case is income to the corporation and they pay income tax on it. The second is income to the shareholder and they pay income tax on it. How is it different from the corporation's employees paying income tax on money received from the corporation?

>If instead you don't issue the dividend, but re-invest to grow the company, then the value of the shares can increase without creating a taxable event for the shareholders.

That's true as long as the shareholders never sell their shares. Once they do, it's a taxable event like the dividend.
Engineering led companies can also be pretty miserable as well. Look at Google, for example.
> Put another way, if foreigners could only buy unbuilt units, would you still say they're resulting in fewer houses for Spaniards? Do the countries shunned by foreign investors have affordable housing?

Exactly, and to further drive the point home the real estate investments driven by foreign investment are targeting entirely different markets, such as luxury homes and tourism, whereas the complains about lack of access to housing come from those who already struggle to buy the cheapest units in working class suburbs, where the foreign investments are clearly not being made.

So the question you should be asking is how come you're not seeing investments in affordable housing across the country at a time where you see foreign investment in luxury and tourist areas. Then you'd realize that you're discussing two entirely different things that bear no relationship.
This probably costs a fortune. Certainly there is a market.

We absolutely are.

I think that in itself is the problem, you dont need to be cis, white or male to be the problem, its just a group that is the target of choice.

Targeting straight white men this way isnt going to be the solution to the problem, especially those that are the problem. I don't have a good solution to this but pouncing on a large group for the actions of a few isnt a great idea.

If they want to radicalize a group, this is a great way to go about it.

If you roll it back upon seeing problems, then you're doing something meaningful, at least.

Nice article by Andy. It's astonishing that they released that magnitude of change, and that they didn't provide a way to roll back once it showed itself to be a car crash. It should have been an opt-in beta, then opt-out, and maybe then after the bugs are squashed, incrementally rolled out.

I understand why they'd to remove this big clatter of legacy protocols, simplify it, and encrypted everything. A tech-focused CEO would surely want that too, but perhaps might respect the amount of work and testing involved. What they forgot is that in a Sonos is a clatter of legacy protocols on top of speakers that are sonically "ok". Wasn't that their unique selling point? Why wouldn't a CEO with a sales background understand USP?

I would say it is on similar to criticism of TikTok or Huwaei and China.

It has less to do with whether it malicious intent from the start of building an organization for explicit intent of capturing core infra. It has more to do with how the Government of Israel operates and the legal requests they can make of their citizens and/or veterans.

Perhaps concern over Israeli products should be probably higher than for China as Israel more well known incidents of exploits as a State actor like with Stuxnet, Pegasus or more recently with pagers etc.

China no doubt has their own share of operations but they either have not used them as publicly in a large scale overt operation or been more discreet about it.

Point is the concern is valid just as it would be valid for China.
>While Chinese developers are focused on building great products, US developers are focused on pushing politics.

I disagree. I believe Chinese developers have more problems due to CCP's censorship. For example, the new NetEase game, Marvel Rivals, has censorship built in.
