European business culture also contributes in some small part, so given enough growth it would have eventually been a problem anyways, but it was exacerbated by importing tens of thousands of primitive terrorists.
I admire your diligent concern, but I thought the same thing for a split second and dismissed it.
I can't imagine even a corporate churn machine with the most reckless abandon designing a device like this and missing the most basic obvious attack vector.
It might be possible if you find a hardware or software bug in the USB interface on the chip, but the Yubikey uses a chip designed specifically for security applications. Those sorts of chips are designed and tested explicitly for security applications are tested for all sorts of attacks and and exploits, both physical and in software. I doubt it's even physically possible to craft a USB packet that is able to interfere with the ADC on the chip enough to look like a touch event, but even if it was it'd be exceedingly difficult due to the nature of how USB signaling works. You don't have much direct control at the electrical level of what actually goes down the wire.
What an incredible journey the team has had this far. A very approachable group of people involved with the project have tirelessly given their work to the Julia language and finally, FINALLY the 1.0 is ready for consumption.
As if I wasn't psyched for this weekend enough already!
One consequence is the reduction of trust and perceived-value in the global economy, which reduces our capacity for investment and growth*
As far as I can tell, as long as the economy runs super well and everybody trusts that it'll continue to do so, we are all able to collectively defer debt among ourselves to invest in augmenting our production capacity right now. In practice this means people trust that the work (or product) that they are doing (or delivering) now can be payed later, so they can wait to be paid. Meanwhile that work (or product) can be put to use _right now_ to increase production as a whole.
I'm certain someone with a more formal grasp of macroeconomics can explain this better.(Maybe even yourself, if that was a rhetorical question)
* many caps apply, and IMO foremost the accelerated consumption of natural resources is the most critical one. Eternally growing economies mean eternally accelerating change of the natural environment.
That's beside the, point. If the website has links that don't work, generally poor UI, you're losing the audience of people coming to the website. If the docs are on github, then put a link on the website to the docs!
Dart excommunicated server side dart. If I were someone who has already been let down once by that decision and is already frustrated by the extremely lackluster library story for server side dart, why should I use dart?
Flutter is the only reason. I don't care about mobile. Hell, if they take android to flutter-only, it'll finally give me the fire to switch to iOS. I been meaning to anyways.
I'm happy that Bracha got out of there. What a shame such a bright man's work has been so foully steeped in Google nonsense.
> I remember when opera used to have an IMAP client built in and you could open up an IRC chat tab, it had so much cool stuff!
Don't really understand those two comments. You're saying it hasn't gone to shit yet but then you're describing the features from Opera 12, before Opera switched to the new Chrome-based browser they ship now without any of those features.
I was a long time Opera user back when it had all those cool features, and dropped it when it dropped them. Many of its long term users did the same and many of their internal devs left too. I'd say Opera very much went to shit in 2013.
> Mozilla is the single most toxic thing in software culture in the past fifteen years, imo.
Curious about this view; I've been a bit lost since the Opera exodus, looking for a decent alternative. Mozilla's got some problems, but they're the best I've found sofar. What's toxic about them?

Horse and carriage drivers offered jobs in Ford factory, Horseback Union said no!
Six horse carriage drivers committed suicide in the past year.

Most taxis are horrendous. They barely speak English or have some sort of hygiene issue or try and take me on some wacky route like I don't live here,
With uber starting to do stuff like upfront fares and uber pool, it's pretty much over with. I've seen a LOT of new yorker trends over the past two decades, and I can safely claim that Uber has reached an indispensable point for the average upper class new yorker.
The last linchpin imo for uber will be something like uber pool with better dedicated routes. Like a bus, but without all the people that ride the bus. That will be awesome.
>The last linchpin imo for uber will be something like uber pool with better dedicated routes.
They already launched a feature called Express Pool in some areas (at least the Bay Area) which does something like that: it's like Pool, but you might need to walk a little bit from/to your final destination. The routes aren't fixed, but the spirit of the idea is the same.
Do countries like Germany, with rich, relatively recent military history have schools where people go to learn all the different models of bomb that they used back in WW2? How do they keep all that important knowledge circulating for defusal techs after all these years?
In Germany there's special training run at least partially by the same places that do other kinds of explosives training. And some defusal experts had explosives training from the military beforehand.
