It's easy to talk big on the internet. Now just let me see if I can go walk it a bit.
Sometimes you are absolutely right. Stuff is way more complicated and out of control the world over at the moment.
Be willing to accept some unknowable consequences (if you aren't already). I've been maybe both risk-averse and risk-prone about too many of the wrong things.
So dropping things (and people, at times) and listening for what screams helps to part wheat from chaff. It's what actually needs my attention. Sometimes, I just don't know how else to move any rocks.

If a Microsoft product or service is still in preview after more than 18 months, it is likely time to move on. Preview considered harmful

Piggybacking off the lessons of "fail fast"? That's good enough to be real.
"Don't start nothin' and there won't be nothin'."
I want to believe that's intentional... not letting things get "too big to fail".
I'm not sure that I do. But maybe they've said so, I have no idea.

But in not letting it too big to fail, I have to partially disagree there were many cancelation at Google of products that I wouldn't say they even reached the "small" part

I'm not totally against any sort of decentralization by a long shot.
But it is superficially obvious that broom closets have advantages over clouds.

You don't have to tell me.

Researchers identify 23 vulnerabilities, some of which can exploited with no authentication. Do you need network-connected wrenches to fix the network-connected refrigerator?
I can see why they made them (to automatically look up and apply torque settings in factories), but my mind still boggles that someone made network-connected wrenches. WRENCHES!

Manpower is still way cheaper in many countries, and with those things you can get "similar" results as with automatic stations as long as the target torque is within common human strength for a small fraction of the cost per unit of time / product.
If they survive the startup phase, I can imagine a bunch of companies that will get them to reduce even more costs producing abroad if the security gets to "half usable without risking the factory" (or maybe even before, as long as the benefits still overcome the costs).

I really want an IoT fork.
Just so that when it gets jacked and stops working I can say, "well now we're really forked".

Hackers broke into the SEC's X account to falsely post that Bitcoin ETFs were approved, causing $90 million in liquidations. Usually they just make everyone else lose money
|
|
|
|

Wait for it - the SEC will try to blame Elon Musk for this as well. Musk has issues, but the SEC has a serious hard case against him.
|
|
|
|
|
The SEC didn't enable 2FA. The same useless mofos who didn't spot Madoff after being told. Musk had nothing to do with it.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, I agree, but with their hatred of Musk they'll still try to blame him for their stupidity.
|
|
|
|
|
With the blatant manipulation he has done with his crypto scheme, and Tesla, and other crap, I can't blame them. But then again, idiots have been falling for his ploys all this time, which doesn't say anything good about those idiots, either. The SECs job is to try to protect them...

Oh, you mean the "funding secured" tweet that caused institutional speculators to dump their Tesla stock while investors, both institutional and individual, reaped huge rewards in less than two years by holding onto their Tesla stock. The SEC has done nothing to deal with the TSLA short sellers over the years who have lost huge amount of their own and other's money, but they continue to interfere with Tesla. This by the way, is why Musk kept SpaceX private - it keeps the SEC out of SpaceX's business.

You are missing a bunch. It feels like this article is also missing a few, as I think there were several tesla tweets designed to manipulate its price. There was also the Saturday Night Live crypto crap...
Five times Elon Musk has affected the market

I did. Near immediately. Half joking, but maybe half not too.
Historical data on security tells us that most compromises happen from within.
And truly, in that sense, the facts we do know tell us that he sort of most definitely contributed?
Maybe he didn't impersonate SEC "because he could". But wanton headchopping and (did he really throw 80% of their microservices out the window one day but then auth broke and nobody could login?) and other stuff.
I'm not sure I'd call those things I respect about the guy so much as saving graces but they're solid things I think are rare and thus hold a great deal of value.
There's nothing wrong with a nice strong dose of self-righteousness... when your barometer is on point.
He's had to ignore his barometer too much. Too much pressure.

Let’s discuss a cool open-source C++ library that helps you write nice and clear C++ code, but with safety checks *automatically* added under the hood. Now we need something for Real safety
