Have you searched his name in LinkedIn before? If not, there is a chance that he has searched your name for some reason.

I once heard that some dentists would check patients LinkedIn profile to estimate how much they should charge them next time. And some people are just creepily curious. They look into your online profiles for no reason.

I don't use LinkedIn's mobile app. But, if the app has permission to read your contact numbers, it could be simply that.

Someone brave enough should write a handbook for average people to learn how they can do it too. Once average people start doing it, the government will finally try to close the loopholes.

> John McAfee died on Wednesday by suicide in a Barcelona prison after the Spanish high court authorised his extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges.

> McAfee said in 2019 that he had not paid U.S. income taxes for eight years for ideological reasons. That year, he left the United States to avoid trial, largely living on a megayacht with his wife, four large dogs, two security guards and seven staff.

Keep your job, hire freelancers to build the MVP, reduce your working hours once you confirmed the market fit with a few customers, switch to consultancy or part-time job when your startup makes enough money to pay your bills for at least 6 months in a row, quit your job when your startup makes enough money to make you happy but you feel it needs to grow faster than before.

I have an Ergohuman (mesh version) too and I'm quite satisfied with it. It has all the adjustments and supports that I need and the size is just right for me.

Some companies have powerpoint fetish and those are basically the exact opposite of this.

You go to a meeting and someone without presentation skills that has spent more time choosing the background picture than thinking about the content is going to give you a lot of information that nobody will document after the meeting ends. You will end up with some random notes that you won't remember after a week.

If you are paranoid enough, you would think of Password Managers as an obvious must-have business to tap into for the NSA.

It sounds like a bad idea to keep nuclear bombs in the Netherlands. A small country that produces and exports a lot of food without much usable land.

Every crisis is an opportunity IF you have business man's instinct.

Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UT8RkSmN4k

If you've watched SNL, you already know that they use Tmux too.

I'm not surprised if Tesla bought a lot of Dogecoin right after he called it "hustle". He can easily influence the market for profit.

My speculation is that Elon is worried about EV competition, and he is trying to make it up with cryptocurrency.

Anyone knows if EU supports these operators or not? Financially or different ways? The EU does support some vital infrastructure projects as far as I remember.

I wouldn't be worried about fines. I think the EU is very reasonable and flexible when it comes to enforcing these type of legislations.

A lot of things wont work, but you still can't say Web and Internet are the same thing.

I also think it isn't fair to nitpick the article for it.

I don't remember now but I thought many contracts require employees to keep it confidential! Or not?

Perhaps partly because we use marketing tactics to make people feel desperate for having all things that they actually don't need in their life. People have so much to give to have them.

I once heard a story of how a report by historian turned into cannibalism report after bad translation. Apparently he quoted the phrase "they eat each other alive for food", while the true story was that farmers kill each other fighting for land and water.

Musk's law is the observation that Tesla is always two years away from full autonomous driving.

Yes, I think we are on the same page.

I was trying to explain that having a separate monitoring infra and network group wouldn't work as a replacement for unidirectional network setup, because you sill need to open network access between critical infra and the monitoring system in your design, which will expose it to the internet.

So like you said, you still need to have an unidirectional network in place.

Because unlike their network gateways, their pricing change is unidirectional.

What you explained doesn't solve the problem. You still want to have an unidirectional network in place at least between your critical infrastructure to the monitoring systems.

Monitoring systems are usually separate and often have their dedicated network too, but they still need some sort of network connection to your critical infrastructure to do their job (monitoring).

Javascript is just the new utility knife that all devs have in their pocket now mostly because you don't need to master it to build something with it, but also because it's acceptable to write improper JS code.

PHP used to be the utility knife for a while for the same reasons. It was easy to learn, and run it. And it was ok to write bad PHP code. I remember most of the exploits and remote shells were written with PHP because it was the easiest language for hackers to learn.

Yeah I think that works now. But it isn't scalable with current battery technology if most of the cars on the road are EVs. If it was the case, perhaps you had to wait in long queues every time you want to charge.

EVs need much longer range, or much faster charging time. Otherwise it will not be scalable.

I think you shouldn't go near EVs if you can't park your car off street plugged to your own charger.

I'm sure on street charging will come, but what happens if a few neighbors have an electric car? You need to book them somehow I guess which is still inconvenient. (Or have more on street chargers around which I don't think will be available to most of the people any time soon)

Current battery technology isn't great for highway charging either. How many EVs on the road it takes to fill up all the charging stations on your path during holiday season? If you own an EV now, you should be happy that most of the road users aren't EV. Otherwise you have to stay in the queue.

If any app makes you feel bad, delete it and remove the stored credentials from your account. It worked really well for me.

Make your phone less useful. I don't have my work e-mail & Slack on my phone. So I can't even check my work calendar on it.

I used to have a few of the social networks apps and lots of utility apps that maybe I would use once a year. So I decided to delete them all.

Now, I only have some of the default Apple apps + WhatsApp, Telegram, Bank, Spotify, Lockwise, Scanner Pro, Google Authenticator, Google Map, and a few utility apps to manage cameras, smart LEDs, and my vacuum robot.

Getting top talents or investing on top talents? He has the money and he has the guts to take big risks which is remarkable for an investor. I think any scientist with a "revolutionary" idea that requires lots of capital will proactively approach Elon Musk.

Another one:

SaaS websites, don't make visitors hunt for what the hell the service does.

It's somehow hard for many SaaS websites to clearly explain what their service does. I often have to dig into multiple pages to figure out what the service does.

> Researchers from two universities have discovered several new variants of Spectre exploits that affect all modern processors from AMD and Intel with micro-op caches. Existing Spectre mitigations do not protect the CPUs against potential attacks that use these vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, researchers believe that mitigating these vulnerabilities will cause more significant performance penalties than the fixes for previous types of Spectre exploits. However, it remains unknown how easy these vulnerabilities are to exploit in the real world, so the danger may be limited to directed attacks.

> Both AMD and Intel had been informed about the vulnerabilities in advance, but so far, no microcode updates or OS patches have been released. In fact, the researchers believe that since potential attacks must use mitigations in extremely low-level caches, it will be impossible to fix the weaknesses without severe performance impacts.

I don't understand 1) Why every company doesn't use Github/Gitlab to do documentation. and 2) Why Github/Gitlab don't offer a cheaper account type for employees that don't code or even write documentation to make internal docs available to everyone.

It's easier to maintain documentation when it's closer to the project. You can also automate a lot of its parts for your projects. You can create template projects and use tools like cookiecutter every time you create a new repo to have the basic structure in place. That's already half of the road.

I think that meant to be a joke.

I actually do create a few README files every month (cos of Microservices), but I still don't understand why someone would use a tool to generate README files.
