I could see having multiple single-use devices becoming a problem though too, and it doesn't seem to solve the "access" problem; the single purpose device could have its own vulnerabilities (hardware or software), so it just moves the target from one device to another, while (admittedly) limiting its scope of impact.

I'm also not sure the market would like it either, considering that the smartphone has wholly replaced many single-purpose devices (camera, GPS, calculator, etc.). The convenience factor may outweigh the security factor for many.

It's great to Grand Rapids, Michigan make this list! I live there and find it to be a nice area. The craft beer really is delicious, and there is plenty of it to go around[1]. It's not too far from a beautiful lakeshore (with exceptional beaches), and is a couple hours drive to Chicago or Detroit.

What I'll be interested to see is what the impact of a major data center will be on tech investment in the area from both the local community and from outside investors[2].

Yeah, we have "high" cubicle walls, but the last 12" is glass which defeats the purpose. I face a walkway and people's heads are in my view as they pass, which can be incredibly distracting.

We get a lot of natural light this way which can be great, except when the sun rises right into your eyes with no way to block it.

Technically, I think they're correct with their definition[1]. However, they should be more explicit with the "Shared" part and have some better documentation rather than an announcement blog post[2], a community guide[3], and a moderator comment on that community guide [4]. Especially in today's privacy-conscious world.

Having said that, people who are concerned about privacy should always be validating their setups themselves. The maxim of "trust but verify" comes to mind.

Yep I'm in the same boat. My apartment complex has its own ISP, whose max available speed is 6mbps with a 150gb cap. Outside of the complex, at least Charter is available, which is 60mbps. The kicker? I pay $46/mo and Charter's offering is $40. Even if it's introductory that's still worth it.

I would actually pay more than I already do to get better internet through my complex, but I literally can't. Bloom Broadband is terrible.

I made a basic Angular version with comments: https://jtymes.firebaseapp.com/

The 'Top', 'New', etc. don't work because those aren't implemented in the API yet.

I couldn't agree more. I came into development as an intern and it took me months to loosely wrap my head around how the code was organized.

Here I am 4 years later on the same codebase (a Swing-based application), and it is very difficult to hunt down bugs. Fixing them is often easier than finding the place in the code where it's happening, even if you know where it theoretically is.

Yeah, the video in the carousel has a brief fine print message that says the "power adapter is required (not shown). "

>Luckily the new patches to Java 7 no longer have this problem. But as the different statistics show – vast majority of the applications out there have not migrated to Java 7 as we speak. So most often than not, your application at hand has got the very same problem waiting to surface.

It's a tad misleading, but it's "still out there waiting to bite you" because of Java 6 still being widely used.
