Your comment is warranted, but I think I know at least one contributing factor (normally fly around 200K / yr on United) I'm making up an extreme case to make the point, but let's say the plane's business / first ca

Yes, this. Not trying to take anything away from this, but this car is essentially "running a program." I would love for someone to come on here from the program and publicly repudiate what I'm about to say. I bet they ran

Great job. For me, checks all the boxes: . C (could have been C++... embedded MCU platform) . compiles cleanly out of the box . demo is simple, works out of the box, simple to verify I contrast this with my experience a few days ago with t

Well.... [0] I have a whole list of absurd patents... this is the classic go-to example of a patent that should have never been issued... basically, a patent issued saying that if you exercise a cat by moving a laser pointer around a floor,

Jessie Frazelle is listed as the company's "CPO" - huh? Isn't that a Star Wars character? :-P (Obligatory clarification: of course I'm joking; but is that "Chief People Officer"?)

Yes absolutely, I have Andrea's whole series on the topic bookmarked, it is very well done. Another, slightly more topical / simple explanation [0] was posted by Cloudflare almost exactly 6 years ago, I still point people to it as

yes. "Most of their competitors... prefer security through obscurity" Count Texas Instruments ("TI") in this camp. For example, Josh Wyatt of TI is proud of TI's "black box" approach to security, and even

Yep, IVPN user here. Couldn't be happier. Have used 3 other VPNs over the years, IVPN's privacy, features, speed, and corporate policies are the best I've found. Just a satisfied user. Its 2x what I used to pay, but IMO it

Yes, this. I fly about 200k miles a year (mostly US, some international). I'm 50 years old, but I have an athletic build - very wide shoulders. I'm 6'2", but the width is much more important to me than leg room. I&#x2

This is pretty much exactly my thought as well. Based on the timing of initial tweets and blog posts on this fiasco, I'm pretty sure I was in the first 10%, if not first 1%, of people who experienced this. And I was in a plane at 36,0

It still works like that. I practically had to beg Hex Rays to take my money. They were very skeptical of me at initial purchase, it took about 2 hours of email exchange and phone calls. When I went to renew my support, they grilled me ag
