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 st…

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 sy…

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

This is brilliant! Some of these combinations are very creative. Try shark + cheese or shark + clown...

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 "c…

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 goin…

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 wh…

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 will…

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 sus…

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 …

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 a…

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 …

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 no…

I believe this specific problem exists in Unicode, and not just in the Julia language.

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…

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 client…

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 …

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…
