I took his Computability class in the Hebrew University. He got angry that students were often late to class, and said that this never happened in Harvard...

So Zivver created a product with security vulnerabilities, Kitenet bought Zivver (probably for their customer base), and it's all some sort of conspiracy to steal personal data?

It's easy to make baseless accusations that are impossible to disprove, that's exactly my point.

Is there any factual basis to this claim, or just your personal opinion? It's like claiming Oracle's real business isn't a database, but rather stealing customers data which was stored in Oracle's databases. Or practical

It isn't a "telemetry-/ad- surveillance dragnet". Kitenet's product is a "Private Data Network (PDN) to control, monitor, and secure data exchanged between people, machines, and systems across user collaboratio

This sounds exactly like Zope's DTML template language, from 25 years ago. https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/zopebook/AppendixA.htm...

We have this problem in Haifa, Israel too. The city borders on natural woodland, and the boars go into the neighborhoods looking for food in the trash.

Very nostalgic for someone who grew up with an Atari 800XL! Also shows how much creativity is possible even within severe constraints - there are many fonts there that have real "character" (pun intended).

You seem to come at this useful tool with a very negative mindset. - The scanned documents are stored in the filesystem in PDF format, so you can certainly access them without going through the web application. - OCR doesn't have to be

Building paper airplane models was a very popular hobby in Israel (and probably other countries) during the 1960's. Each issue of the Israeli Air Force Journal came with a model which you would painstakingly cut and glue. Here are som

Is there any country that doesn't have a bad human rights track record? Sure, some are worse than others. But where do you draw the line, and how far back into history are you willing to look?

I was recently offered a job by NSO, didn't take it due to their terrible reputation. I won't be surprised if some countries start denying entry to NSO employees. Even Facebook suspended accounts of NSO employees after NSO hacked

It might be related to the fact that Toyota championed "Just-in-time manufacturing" which requires tight control over the supply chain. You have to be able to trust your suppliers to deliver what you need on time and in high quali

I recently heard about a startup trying to do something about this. Probably not totally mature, but might be worth a look: https://www.kaholo.io/ (I am not related to company in any way)

Thank you for posting this, the explanations are intuitive and the real-world examples really help one think about the implications of these probability facts.

Dude, you are still young! You made some mistakes in the first half of your life, but your second half can be better due to the experience you gained. There are lots of people who start a second relationship in their 40s, after going throug

This post makes me think that it was a foolhardy decision to drive a rental car on my last visit to Japan. It's very easy to make mistakes driving on the side of the road you're not used to. Who knows what could have happened if a

It's an accident caused by something getting turned on at the wrong time. Is it any different than, for example, someone turning on the power without knowing that an electrician is currently doing some work, thereby causing him to get

My goodness! I'm positive the poster wrote something about talking to HR and they said others complained too but nothing ever changes. Did he edit his post, or am I hallucinating?

Dude, sounds like you're spreading yourself too thin. Trying to launch multiple (two?) companies at the same time, plus renovating, plus running a charity, plus working with clients... When do you sleep? My unsolicited advice is to say

You are working in a TOXIC environment and obviously it's taking its toll. You have to get out, or at least transfer to another team. You wrote that you went to HR and they didn't help with your boss, but perhaps they CAN help mov

Of course the responsibility lies with the driver, and he/she should take the driving instructions with a grain of salt. But often while driving you do not have time to think about it for more than a second before having to decide whet

The article tries to paint Waze as an "evil" corporation, but to me it sounds like they haven't perfected their algorithms yet. If Waze reroutes 1,000 cars to a shortcut that can only handle 100, that's idiotic and does

Back in 2003 I worked for a startup that used CLIPS. While it's quite powerful and expressive, as the number of rules grows it becomes very difficult to reason about and debug them. The application logic becomes spaghetti-like and very

I distinctly remember having a book about nature-related experiments back in the 1980s, which talked about using a magnet to collect metallic dust particles, some of which could be micro-meteorites. I think it was a translation of "Sim

Once it's loaded. But not all users have a fast Internet connection, even in the USA. So I'm not sure you can expect them to wait for your 1MB javascript bundle to load.
