The fact that the master branch CI has a high rate of failure doesn't inspire confidence in the development process.

What about UDT [1]? Several open source libraries exist already.

Remains the risk that some bad guys could get their hands on the golden keys. Yes, design to handle that?

after all, it worked so well for the TSA security key: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/27/security-experts-have-clon...

I should have the right to remove embarrassing things I've done 20 years ago when I was a teenager from a public indexer, the same way I can request the phone book to delist my phone number: this does not mean that the phone company has to delete my number, it just cannot be indexed.

A stupid example? just put a "like" on Medium next to an article regarding something that embarrasses you and few days later that article will appear on Google when looking for your name, and then you would love to have the GDPR at your disposal to permanently delete your Medium account.

"Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explains how the misinformation about climate change (and other topics) unfolded.

Maybe it could be used to track the certification process for pharmaceuticals or medical software?

The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters is an eye opener on the problems that the architects of complex control systems that interface with humans must take into account.

And the kind of problem that MCAS exhibited is clearly explained in the book.

The book doesn't talk only about control system design, but also about training, hiring, etc.

The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters explains exactly this kind of situation, when the flight control system and the pilot are not in sync and don't know each other intentions.

OpenSolaris from Sun. It was a joy to use it.

We don't need software to socialize.

Some tasks of our life can be taken over by software, but others should stay with us.

Especially with the advent of AI, engineers are racing to automate everything: from suggesting us new friends, new music, with which dresses we look smart, and so on. Automating everything will cause the atrophying of our skills and we will become a bunch of lonely depressed, smartly dressed users with thousands of virtual friends and perfect music playlists that never deviate from our preferred music.

Automation is fine and dandy, but not for everything.

I always found the "company culture" as a limiting factor: at the end, it tends to build a sect of developers close to any suggestion that doesn't self-enforce the culture that produces them.

"Culture" kind of wants to produce a "family", but a family is not what I'm looking for when I look for a job.

Google analytics has an option to anonymize the IP and remove unique user id from the data collection.

Yes, I agree.

Anyway, the device looks nice and is a step in the right direction to overcome the fear of the parents.

Good luck with your business.

I thought about the walkie-talkie, but I think that all those devices are more of a pacifier for parents than something that keeps the child safe.

If I'd give her the walkie-talkie then my wife would call her every 10 minutes and ask her where is she. Tracking her with a GPS would keep me calm but I don't think it will help my daughter.

The only time I freaked out was when she removed the watch and she didn't come home on time: I went out to look for her and in the meantime, she went home. Realizing that she may go home on another path I went back home and found her watching TV. Honestly I think that those devices are meant to keep the parents calm, not for the sake of the children.

One month ago I started removing the constraints on my 8 years old daughter's outside activity. I just gave a wristwatch with the alarm set before dinner time and told her "when the alarm goes off then come home". I'm against her having a phone.

When she comes home and she tells us what she and her friends did (I don't ask, she just wants to share) it is hilarious and I usually think "It was better if I didn't know this and that". But then I think about the 8 years old version of me "bombing" the toy soldiers together with a friend of mine by spraying alcohol on them and by setting everything on fire, and I relax...

A log file with plain text passwords can be seen by some employees: maybe they are all honest, maybe not. I guess that a generous amount of money could motivate the right employee to disclose famous (and not) people's passwords.

Pfff, it's so annoying that the peasants started flying and visiting places like the Royals do./s

We peasant, unlike the Royals, cycle to work, recycle, don't spend million on candles on our yacht (yachts pollute much more per passenger), but must feel guilty for our once-a-year plane trip.

I feel the pain of climate change, but this must be a shared and planned action, not just a one-off "tells the peasant to don't fly" action:

- industries must change (and the aviation industry is creating cleaner engines [1][2])

- industries MUST be regulated (don't expect a corporation to act in the public interest)

- better public transport should allow us to leave our cars at home

- cities must be planned so we can walk to the store, park, etc

Keeping safe is a matter of following the law even if you don't believe in it

You should thank your ancestors for fighting the laws they didn't believe in.

Two months ago, after a smartphone induced rage (my ear touching the screen caused deezer to start playing a song during a phone call) I bought a nokia 3310 and ditched the smart phone. Best decision ever.

Now I noticed how everybody else is constantly watching their smartphone: sometimes they pull it out of the bag but they don't know why, they just browse up and down through the apps until they tap on a random one, just to close it few seconds later.

The same WHOIS is used by spammers to send annoying emails do domain owners

+1, Instead of developing super smarts autopilots we could just instrument the highways so they can tell the car where to go. The instrumented roads could send out warnings and give control back to the driver when there are roadworks ahead.

New European regulations explicitly forbid this: I had a Deezer bundle in my mobile contract which allowed unlimited data when streaming deezer music. Then 2 years ago I received a letter from my mobile provider stating that because of the new law my Deezer bundle was no longer valid (same monthly fee, of course).

Why should somebody go through the hassle of register himself for voting? Where I leave all the persons eligible for voting receive the voting certificate one month in advance. An ID card and the certificate are all you need to enter the polling station.
