Good point: It's a multi-step thing.
- Entrepreneurs get cheap moon rocks
- Build Moon infrastructure
- Use somebody's plan to make it worth it.

This "perfect corruption" cannot be litigated against. It simply must rot organizations out of existence, which it will when nobody can speak to each other, nobody is capable of doing the work assigned, and cleaning-up the mess made becomes 10x multiples or more vs the money saved.

All the while, honest companies with good interview practices simply take over when their big, old competitors fail to progress or vanish entirely.

In the news: 100,000 IBM layoffs last month.

This is why small & medium businesses are the future, so you don't have one honest department & one broken department but instead have a successful company and a failing company.

Oh look, my old sig already held the answer:

Agreed! Having girls makes this trickier, but I plan to take them to nude beaches, discuss the factors involved with Torrenting movies, get them drunk before College, show them rehab (anti-drug), poverty (work ethic), deviancy (safety), etc. Want to inoculate your kids against some trouble and can't think of how? Google it!
Kids outlive parents. So Parents, expose your kids to all the worldly matters & discuss them, because one day you'll kick off and then what?

So we are lamenting not having enough Ozone (the chemical)? Then how about we produce some & release it. The sky then stays blue.

But if that's still not enough, then find "dark places" on Earth and coat with something white and permanent (Limestone).
Just requiring a formula change for Asphalt roadwork would go a long way here.

When NodeJS (Which Google doesn't care about enough to maintain) and Java (which Oracle doesn't care about enough to maintain) battle for the server, Go will win.

Do you hold yourself personally responsible for the actions of a handful of inaccessible weirdos in your country?
Until they succeed in causing trouble, why bother?

The American people don't want this.
The music corporations are entirely non-US companies.
Copyrights are not beneficial to Search or Share Internet industries.
The only remaining beneficiary is the movie industry, a relatively small group of people.

Where are all these expert systems that can be queried in natural language? I would imagine that with enough options, one could "dogpile" their way to a best answer.

Use Chrome web speach api and DIY. It does the voice io and you process the result first through a common search (Google, etc) then through your custom endpoint.

I open source as many parts of my paid projects as i can so that I'm not forced to reinvent the same wheel i made through a previous employer.

This makes me more productive perceptually since i bring value from my previous positions. Others could as well, but aren't as versed with my creations as i am.
So why do my current employers give to my next? It's a perk choosing them nothing.

It's a blanket technology allowing you to do any authentication model. It's supported by Chrome & FF, so the standard won't break anytime soon.
You'll need someone to build out the web app (like me) and then the app can get pushed easily.
After that, a simple but modern browser locked into a kiosk mode should do it. Then I'd seriously consider reducing updates to zero by limiting the kiosk to only your server's domain.

Yes, it could break. Anything can, but this gives you control over the:
- UI
- updates (since you control the app it connects to)
- privacy (doubtful you can trust data mining in a medical facility)
And that's compelling.

It's an irony that the once-powerful book publishing companies that lobbied for the "insane" idea of copyright will finally cease to exist soon. They were dinosaurs. Now this weird combination of Amazon (running on a basis of OSS-licensing, which uses copyright against itself), trade-secrets (their software is not available), and DRM (no need for copyright there) supersedes them.

One possible result is fewer industries have a need to maintain copyright (yay), though usually because something much worse and monopolistic replaces it. Now it's just Disney & Friends that want copyright. There's also music studios, though I expect them to go like the book publishers soon.

I agree completely that you've hit the nail on the head with exactly what needs to be looked at.
As for (1) I believe that QUIC is the protocol being investigated now (you can enable it in Chrome).
(2) Anyone who sets-up a virtual website is shocked to learn that one. But an SSL extension where the client indicates what name it seeks should do.
(3) This. Exactly this is needed & I don't know that anyone's trying. Signed certs are dead-simple to make & is how Git is done nowadays, so extending that model to http just makes sense. Since this 1 PC has signed-in to all my regular services, they all would be able to vouch for that cert being me (and should ask challenge questions at sign-in for any machine that doesn't coorespond).

Thanks.

The cities with tech presence in other states (from SF Bay and Denver) generally include LA, Austin, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and some I know less about (Chicago? DC? Raleigh? Massachusetts?).
Few of those have preferential weather and enough tech jobs that to allow failed startup employee reabsorbtion like SF &Denver. The result is huge SF Bay growth and decent Denver growth.

I tried Austin for a few years and yeah you get a nice house, but you'd better enjoy it because you won't step outside with the heat, crazy bugs, worst allergens anywhere (Mountain Cedar affects everyone). Seattle really is depressingly gloomy most of the year. Most developers want their weekends to include the option for a nerd to go outside comfortably.

I found my heavy compilation task completed about 20% earlier with NTFS compressed the files on an SSD vs the SSD without the compression.
Fast computer, very parallel compilation.
