I strongly recommend you to use azk [0]. It's an alternative to docker compose but instead of being a container manager, it provides the whole environment orchestration. When compared to docker compose, azk has several advantages, such as:

- Its manifest file is more verbose and has a greater toolset [1];

- You can persist content from inside the container way better than simply mounting volumes using docker compose [2];

- Fow now, it relies on VirtualBox (usign debian2docker) but it has a built-in function [3] to sync folders into the container using rsync (significantly increasing performance for file sharing). You can still use VirtualBox Shared Folders if you want to;

- Its built-in DNS server makes you don't worry about port mapping and docker IP issues. You can access your local app running with azk by simply accessing a custom address, like: my-app.dev.azk.io.

Cool, that's a nice way of promoting those technologies since many don't understand them.

I wish those things would land on the IETF board. I wonder what snowden think about those. I would surely make things much harder for the NSA to do massive surveillance.
And yet, despite all these worst-case scenarios you've outlined, it works great most of the time (from what I hear).
Strangely, I've always wanted a modern version of the Burroughs Large Systems, but I like stack machines and have been a fan of Forth and Postscript.
That is correct. Legislatures do not get line-item veto over trade agreements.

The agreement itself is public, usually for several months, prior to that vote.

I'm not sure why I'm meant to care about the "pressure" legislators feel to vote one way or the other on the acts. That's their job. They begged to have that job. They don't get to make excuses.
Is this another book, too?

Map and filter are looked down upon by some Python devs because they prefer list comprehensions. If you don't need the laziness (in Python 3 only), you probably shouldn't use them because some don't consider them idiomatic. See this for more information:

There is a good podcast by planetmoney explaining it. Mostly it is because there are so many industries and interests touched that regardless of what you negotiate, there will be public outrage and pressure on the negotiators which make it much harder to reach an agreement. If that is the case though, I am not sure whether an agreement must be reached...

Anyhow, interesting podcast: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/06/26/417851577/episo...
TS's medical plan beats Google handedly, no copay, no deductible for a minimal $7/paycheck (just so you can refuse it if you want). TS also starts out with 20 days vacation compare to Google 15. Hours is the same, you do whatever you want to get it done.
The Wired article says they're not fully replicating Spanner, esp is time tricks. However, they are replicating a lot of its other capabilities. So, that's still a great tech in development. Thanks for the link. :)

Still gotta wait a while for a full Spanner replacement with GPS tricks and all. Or something even better hopefully.
jsmthrowaway - I have a question for you about a different thread you commented on. Can I email you?
And the topic of the articles linked is that the negotiation process as it is performed is against the interests of those from whom it is being hidden.
Googler here. Having just returned to the office from my second paternity leave (for which I was granted up to 12 paid weeks plus a small "baby bonding" bonus), I can say that my org, at the very least, has so far been extremely comfortable for raising a family. Like the author points out, Google's a big company and your mileage may vary, but I have found it to be fantastic for me in this regard.

Of course, I originally worked for Amazon.com, so my baseline for a good work/life balance may be skewed, and I don't work in Mountain View, so I can't speak to the culture at headquarters.

IANAL, but...

It seems possible that Amazon could set up ToS for purchase of this that would make doing this actionable.
Yep, I've had some good experiences with the old StarCraft editor. It had a surprisingly good first user experience because it was immediately useful (terrain editing was very intuitive, and stock games could be played on custom maps) and had a gentle learning curve (new game features could be added in progressively to the base game).

One of our past examples worked on a similar principle to the SC trigger system [1] but we unfortunately found that it didn't scale as well to larger systems. While it was very easy to write in, it was hard for a stranger to read and intuit the implied data flow. We've had a lot of fun experimenting with different query editors, and I hope to find the time soon to do a more in depth write up on our research.

He is not the only person that claims that. In order to become law, the TTIP would have to be ratified by the Senate in the US and the EU Council of Ministers and EU Parliament in the EU. At the time it comes up for ratification it becomes public and is debated.

While it's being negotiated it's not public. I have no problem with that, any more than I have a problem with the authors of legislation drafting a bill in private before submitting it to the legislature for consideration, or the cabinet discussions of a government being private until a policy is settled upon and presented to the public.
I totally get it. This is why I am building Optik. Knowledge publishing should be as easy as posting to Twitter or Instagram. My personal concern is privacy and longevity. How do we ensure that information users rely on remains secure, and also accessible? That is why I believe the Web as designed is a poor interface for this data. We need a better way to navigate and trust the data.

I applaud your efforts and look forward to collaboration. As the internet grows and interfaces become more complex, it becomes harder to avoid creating multiple tiers or classes of knowledge/data access.

Very curious to see how Webmaker will approach spammers vs anonymity and security vs collaboration.
I read some of the docs but that's the thing I noticed as well, it makes typing impossible or at least very hard.

For the home office, compromise and go to one of those places where contract workers rent out an office cubicle. My wife applied for a job where she was going to work from home and I told her she could not work from home all the time. She needed to go to an office environment to at least talk to other people for both our sanity. As for the relationship in general, there are deeper problems than just a home office. Maintaining a relationship means that you know what your roles are and what responsibilities those roles have in the relationship at any given time. Sometimes your wife needs someone to listen to her and not solve her problems, at other times it is you who needs that and so on. I always tell couples to start with communication. Set some ground rules for communicating and set designated times for having discussions if you do not have have time to argue at a given moment. Working couples disagree and commit to shared resolutions. Lastly be honest with yourself, what will make you happy (what can you live without and what must you absolutely have in order to be happy), don't ask for ridiculous things, just focus on what want out of the relationship. Be prepared to also have her point of view too.
Police brutality is a real problem in the U.S. But please do not assume that what works in your country will work here. That is basically as tone deaf as Americans thinking they can swoop into another country and readily solve its problems, a character flaw for which we rightly get mocked around the world.

How they define commercialization is important.

> ultimately reach commercialization, defined as having recurring revenue and expenses associated with the sale of products and/or services in keeping with the company’s business objective.

How viable something is over the long run and its overall success is different from being able to have it out in the market and get inital paying customers.

Reaching commercialization by this definition and receiving better evaluation from VCs means more funding readily avaiable to get a product out.

Why Software Development Time Estimation Doesn't Work and Alternative Approaches
In its essence programming is transforming data (and code is data too). Everything else is incidental. But if I think of the things I do in my day-to-day work as a software developer it is 99% logistics (getting data in the right place and in the right form) and 1% related to actual meaningful transformation. If my understanding is correct (I only had a cursory glance) eve attacks this problem from the promising angle by making all data available in a ready-to-query database.

Still I think there must be some hard lower limits on amount of incidental complexity. Nature just can't allow you to get rid of all of it (impossibility results from distributed systems theory come to mind) just as in manufacturing transport costs can't be zero (goods and materials can't be transported between factories faster than the speed of light after all). It will be interesting to see how eve team works around these issues.
For a long time, I've thought the phrase we want is "strong pseudonymity".

When you consider

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchants_of_Doubt

I fully agree with you. But note that it's not that we can't call "science" when, for example, the tobacco industry finances some scientific research. It's how these particular research results are obtained (if they are bad science) or how they are used that we have to care.

And how "science" word can be used for something not automatically positive, we have both G. W. Bush example I quoted and the examples from "Merchants of Doubt" that you mention.
Or they're suffering from brand recognition. Google and Disney have a reputation for excellence, so just having it on your resume biases the interviewer into projecting those attributes onto you.
I am completely fine with free speech. Even though I hate neo-nazis with a passion, I would also stand in line to allow them to speak freely. But I have had many a bruise from fighting the neos when their speech moves to action. And I'm not talking about being an antifa who goes to protests to fight neo-nazis, but when I've seen them beating on people of colour I've jumped right in and fought them tooth and nail. (And because I'm of mixed race myself, I've had to defend my own butt on more than a few occasions)

Back to my original problem, I wouldn't want to ban child porn fiction, or such similar speech, but I would similarly fight tooth and nail to stop pedophiles swapping children amongst themselves with no repercussions. It's enabling the physical actions I have a problem with - and I'm pretty sure the ACLU doesn't defend KKK members who have actually perpetrated a hate crime.

It's a fine line, I know, but to me it's definitely an iron line...

I was wondering the Button was configured for WiFi access. It's more interesting than I though. It's configured by running a Dash Button app on your Android or Apple smart phone.

The Android version works about as I would have guessed, by using the Dash Button as an access point, and the app helps you connect to it. But the Apple version communicates with the phone by ultrasonic tones!

IIRC the next release (version 0.8 I believe) is focused on porting to use Electron for its GUI. It doesn't appear to be dead, though I'm sure the devs wouldn't mind a little help (a willingness to try ClojureScript is probably a big plus if you were interested). ClojureScript is a Lisp so it should be fairly easy to pick up the basics.

> Just a few comments up, you're asserting that the T-TIP process is hiding binding treaties.

I don't agree. Please quote where I wrote that with these words. If you mean "agreements" I refer to the current state of the "agreements" which was all the time the topic of the articles linked, not the "final all-or-nothing state of them" that you want to introduce, and that for TTIP don't exist at the moment, so nobody can write about them at all or comment them. I'm fascinated that you introduced to the discussion something that doesn't exist and try to sell that once that exists, in whichever form, it will magically negate the problems currently written about. But I won't discuss more as the article went away from the first page.
I think you have touched on the problem with At-will employment in general. Yes, at some callous employers you could face a "culture of fear". You won't be constantly under duress, but you could be miserable most of the time.

The problem as I see it is that the power of At-will employment rests mostly with the employer. It is asymmetrical. Most people could not afford to lose their job without serious financial difficulties, and if they disagree with some new policy in principal, then the only choice is to resign, be forced out, or continue working under the new policy.

Most employees will never be in a situation where they can say "Screw you, I'm not signing that". There's too much at stake. There are multiple reasons for this:

The job they hold does not pay them enough to save and emergency fund.

They don't practice good financial judgement.

They are ignorant of the risks of at-will employment.

They are in their comfort zone and don't want to push back.

They signed a non-compete agreement.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Maybe I should elaborate on my background a little more. I recently completed my Masters in Computer Engineering from University of Florida and am working at Ebay in Philadelphia. I know my basic algorithms and data structures, and can confidently write programs for implementing them.

I would like to work as a full stack developer in a start up. The technologies I am interested in developing my skills are : Java, REST API programming, Javascript, HTML, CSS.

Could you suggest good sources online or otherwise to develop my skills in these areas?
