Versioning is inherently hard, but the way that .NET infrastructure is set up makes it harder than it needs to be, I suspect. Don't bother versioning, just create a brand-new project each time

That's a very detailed article, but definitely worth a read

A publicly accessible ElasticSearch cluster owned by Orvibo, a Chinese smart home solutions provider, leaked more than two billion user logs containing sensitive data of customers from countries all over the world. That's not a very smart home then, is it?

Some smart people I know like to share how much they know, so I'd recon this smart home just trying to show off.

A narrative is growing that Ive’s exit from Apple started years ago Once you've seen one polished piece of aluminum, you've seen them all
Or aluminium, if you prefer. (really, it does make more sense)

Nope - I prefer to stay with the choice of the guy who first identified it. Not some name invented by a board of pseudo-intellects.

I want the word to be shorter - like "steel", "bronze", "gold", "silver", and "iron". Aluminum and magnesium are too freakin long. "Lum", and "Mag" are plenty long enough.

So why not just called them "Al" and "Mg"? Even shorter!
Hmm... Didn't Paul Simon write a song about the naming of Aluminium? "Call me Al"?

Sir Humphry (the guy who first identified it) made a bit of a mess of naming this new element, at first spelling it "Alumium" (this was in 1807) then changing it to "Aluminum", and finally settling on the correct and proper "Aluminium" in 1812.

And then not pronouncing them. Cholmondeley, for instance. Well, the French are good at that, too. At least the Germans are sensible. There's a letter there? You will include it in the pronunciation!

Ive disagreed with “some Apple leaders” on how to position the Apple Watch. Ive pushed for the Apple Watch to be sold as a fashion accessory, not as an extension of the iPhone. The product that went on sale was a compromise. Apple only sold a quarter of what the company forecasted in the first year, according to the WSJ, with “thousands” of the $17,000 gold Apple Watch Edition left unsold.
Caveat Emptor.

Who did they think would buy a $17000 apple watch, and why did they think "thousands" of people would?

...for the same reason why some people would drop a couple hundred thousand on a new Italian sports car. Because it appeals to them. I've always considered myself a more "function before form" designer, and while I have enjoyed many Apple products in the past, today's Apple has become a slave to the form and not the function.
I've followed Jony Ive since he began his tenure at Apple, and actually met him a couple times, and while the conversations were brief, you could see the wheels turning with ideas. But he is like all of us creatives...many great and wonderful ideas, but they each need a champion other than the originator. Call it lack of ambition or zeal or even the inability to see the good ideas because all the details get in the way.
But in Steve Jobs, Jony found a great champion willing to tilt at windmills to see his best ideas make it through to reality. And while Steve was a bit of a jerk (well, rather a lot, actually) to some, he always got results. And he had enough charisma to bend the world to fit his view.

Keeping data local isn't protectionism in the economical sense; it is being reasonable in the security-sense.
Ransomware-attacks, like the one in Lake City[^] (Florida) prove how vulnerable most of the IT-infrastructure is.
Google's China-filter also shows how sharing of data has its political limits. The thing those countries will agree upon is sharing face-recognition data and financial transactions from the masses
