I'm sure they're using Typescript as the feeder language...

Is there anything specific you find ugly about TypeScript?
I find that in practice, it feels much closer to C# than it does to old school JavaScript. This file I chose arbitrarily from the VSC code base looks pretty sane.
I suppose TS could be criticized for compiling down to ugly (but readable) JavaScript. But that seems a bit like getting upset at C# for compiling down to ugly but readable CIL (formerly know as MSIL). At the end of the day, they're both compiling to an intermediate language that's being ingested and executed by a VM. The TS debugging experience is even pretty decent; I can set TypeScript breakpoints in the IDE for code that's running in the browser, or using source maps, can view the TS code in the browser's dev tools and set breakpoints there.

Snatching the login credentials of a locked computer just got easier and faster, thanks to a technique that requires only $50 worth of hardware and takes less than 30 seconds to carry out. I remember back when you needed physical access to do something like this. What? Oh. Nevermind.

Chrome is getting serious about websites that don’t use encryption. The next version of Chrome will include a new warning for unencrypted login sites, and will mark HTTP login pages as "not secure" in a window next to the address bar. Unsecure web is insecure

What?
Unless you're thinking about the steady attrition as security researchers render obsolescence hashes, ciphers, and transport models (that really should've been replaced everywhere years ago) obsolete by developing effective attacks on them; I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

it was an irony comment about the "scandal" of https being unsecure some time ago. Probably it did sound better in my mind before I wrote it

While I realized Google's intend is good I suspect the net result of this...
Quote: Planned changes include labeling all HTTP pages with the red triangle warning symbol, currently only used for irregularities in HTTPS.
... will be to train users to ignore the warning when they click on a phishing link that points to:

I thought it's be really useful to have Bluetooth headphones, so I bought a pair but after a couple of weeks got so sick of them running out half way to work, and then not having charged headphones for the journey home, and then forgetting to charge them when I got home, I soon switched back to a decent set of wired 'phones.
I can't see the adapter being that helpful either, it's just another awkward shaped lump to fit in your pocket.

you’ll do it for a cut of the profit realized from the new business model.
Oh good grief. There's a lot of work out there that isn't "for profit." When I put together another website for these guys[^] (well, gals), there is no "cut" of the profit, they're a non-profit organization for Pete's sake!
Or when I do some work for another client, who has a fixed price contract for the services he provides, and the software I write is just a small piece, I can't go ask him for a cut of the profit, I'm already getting it, and there is no future profit.
I can't imagine trying to negotiate this kind of arrangement with a company like this[^]. Yeah, I'd like .01% of the profit of every satellite you build. 
Heck, I've been contracted by companies that run a loss (often funded by VC)! What should I do then, pay them for hiring me???
The only time I get offered a cut of the profit is 1) when they have no money and 2) they have no idea whether they'll even be successful. And those I laugh and say thanks, but no thanks.

It might not be a terrible idea when a bunch of ifs hold true: if you have the right contacts, and the necessary sales skills, and the business acumen to determine when you'll profit from this approach and when you won't, and probably the right portfolio to show off...I can see it working in some cases.
As you mentioned, though, there are plenty of circumstances where it's just not possible to ask for a cut of the profit. One would probably have more success in anchoring price to value delivered (e.g. "This project will save you $100k a year for the next 5 years, so paying me $25k to complete it is a bargain") rather than just (hours * hourly rate). It is again highly dependent on sales ability, or having a good network of prior clients who know you get things done. And it's still a non-starter in a ton of scenarios, especially any project where an RFP is involved.
