This made me absolutely cringe.

Such an approach to 'management' and workplace culture is likely to encourage and reward the perception of 'hard work' rather than actual performance and outcomes. This drives out high-performance, goal-oriented individual contributors who aim to work efficiently.

That said I wish all 'team leads' shared their thoughts as transparently online; that way prospective employees can more easily self-select and identify the companies and teams they wish to join.

As always thanks for a thoughtful reply. I'll reiterate somethings I've mentioned to you before:

> Accurate, neutral titles are what's best for readers to make up their own minds.

Not to be pedantic, but I think you are using the word accurate when you mean precise. Accuracy implies a consistent lens. My concern is that by striving for higher precision titles we lose a consistency that actually has less bias long term.

> In practice, it's not all that arbitrary—not algorithmic, but not wildly subjective either.

This is something that's been said over and over again to a community that is extremely focused on empirical evidence. It would be not only great to have a better understanding of how this works, it would be extremely interesting to the community.

> You may also have noticed that when people complain about titles, in nearly every case we accommodate their complaints.

I have noticed that, thank you.

> I'm not doing that this time because the present case seems clear to me and worth defending on principle. But that's rare.

Again, this is a group that responds very well to evidence based argument, and so it's kind of lame to hear that these decisions are made unilaterally based on your principles. I mentioned bias above. Systems that are based on one person making decisions based on their principles are by definition biased. Maybe this is fine, but in that case it would be nice if it was made more clear to the community.

Anyway, don't feel obligated to respond to this, it's just feedback. I understand you're doing the best you can to solve a really hard problem, and I do appreciate the work you put in. It's clear you are thoughtful and working hard, but more transparency would be greatly appreciated.

I'm surprised (but pleased) that the federal government hasn't simply used eminent domain to seize all of the private land within national parks.

The idealistic side of me wants to believe that it's because these people aren't interfering with the purpose of the park(s), and so there is no reason to force them out. But the cynical side of me says that it's more likely that the individuals who own this land are so rich that taking action against them would be impracticable politically.

It's ridiculous to start going back to this sort of racism. This is the "affirmative action or positive discrimination" that is tearing apart Africa right now.

The only sort of racism that should even be considered these days would be genetic research of ethnic groups. That's not something evil BTW. Researching those prone to heart disease, cancer or have positive/useful genes that could be used to protect all of us in the future. Alas, we aren't living the movie Gattaca yet.

Like mentioned above, when you sign up with the service, you're giving the card info and then you're automatically enrolled in a 2 week trial that will automatically charge afterwords.

This should suffice. I don't think they'll wait 2 weeks for the charge to go through.

You can automate the process of disabling charges to if nothing happens. Say 2 days before the charge is about to happen, you do an automated audit of the account and if there hasn't been any activity, fire off an email stating that their trial is about to expire and they're about to get charged and you noticed they hadn't used the service yet. If still no activity when you're about to charge, then cancel charge and disable account and chalk it up as avoiding a chargeback. Make sure to email the user saying that you disabled the pro features and voided the charge as to not automatically charge them for something they're not using.

It's a win/win situation. If the customer was legit, you just saved them on paying for something they didn't plan on using, and they may actually re-enable it and start using the account because they see you actually care about them as a customer and aren't just hoping they forget about such a small charge and it goes on for years before they audit their card charges and cancel any small things.

If it's a user who was just testing stolen cards, well 2 weeks is a long time to gamble on if it's valid or not, so they move on.

Although I don't think many regulators in the US govt. are really concerned with the explicit purpose Bitcoin was created with, you are touching on something I think is interesting.

My perspective is that the real promise of Bitcoin is to be "successful" regardless of government regulations and categorizations. I know it sounds idealistic but I think if the Bitcoin community needs the US govt. to cooperate in order to be successful then it's probably not going to happen.

I guess "success" could be defined as widespread use. Somewhat stable (non-zero) value for Bitcoin would also probably be part of "success." :)

That's the problem right there. Delusion. Everyone aspires to change the world, more than that everyone thinks that they 'can' change the world. But if you think about it from a neutral perspective, your chances are less than 0.0001%. And maybe less with your type of attitude, you might consider money as an 'evil' but its a mean to an end. You need to find a viable economical problem, work on it, develop it and then create something around it. Sitting around all day in coffee shops talking about how you're gonna change the world with absolutely no viable plan or foresight for the future is a bit pretentious in my opinion.

Plus people don't make the company, a good leader does, and one of the characteristics of a good leader is to get the most out of people around him. And that is probably the solution for 'they also leave when the solution doesn't work'.

To be honest with you, your attitude pushed my buttons, i know it shouldn't and that everyone has a different perspective to life, but thinking just by the power of 'friendship' and 'sticking together' that you could change the world, you've got another thing coming

Anne Stevenson-Yang, a journalist and software executive who's worked and lived in China since 1985, and now a research director at an investment capital firm, has this to say about China's GDP: "actual Chinese GDP is probably a third lower than is officially reported"

http://www.barrons.com/articles/anne-stevenson-yang-why-xi-j...

"China is sinking into a deflationary recession that’s increasing in speed and may take some time to run its course. Investors have lost faith in the property market, which alone comprises about 20% of GDP, when taking into account the entire supply chain, from iron-ore production to construction to related financial services and appliance sales. Employment and wage compensation will suffer. Consumption will continue to suffer. There’s even an outside possibility that China’s economic miracle could end up in a fiery crash landing, if a surge in banking-system loan defaults outruns government regulators’ attempt to contain such a credit crisis and restore financial confidence."

She has a good video about China's economy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2SStFt-k_A
>You can also write "actual" synchronous code which does the same thing in the kernel. :P And there are several CPU schedulers to choose from to fine-tune when things get woken up.

You can. But no matter how good your kernel scheduler is, that trip through it is going to cost you. Why? Because it's going to wreck your cache and TLB entries. I think the TLB is a big part of the story, given it's small, specific to the process, and particularly expensive to miss.

Anyway, I'm sure you know this already. :) Out of curiosity, did you get a chance to take CS169 before you left Brown?

And I think the kernel already does pool/recycle stacks, but I guess not 200,000 of them given your results. An explicit thread pool would certainly work too.

I think that should be titled "why I wouldn't use rails for a new company in Silicon Valley". Where I am in Houston Texas ruby is probably near 1% of the development jobs. .NET pretty much has a stranglehold on server side code and asp Mvc and node rule the front end. I really dislike this SV centric myopic view of the world.
Rails, Sinatra, Express developer here - each tool has different characteristics that make it better for some things and worse for others.

If I wanted something with a high throughput of simple requests (like a chat server) or realtime responses using websockets, I'd typically go with a Node.JS inspired framework like Express.

But as this thread states, developer productivity can't be overstated, if the shipped code does what is needed.

I think this will create a damped feedback loop. Over time, the delay caused by "don't chase surge" will mean that the prices remain higher longer. Drivers will realize that the surge doesn't instantly vanish. As a result, surges will mostly get the drivers who were about to end a shift, or were going to begin a shift in an hour or so, or are in the most need of $$$.

This behavior means that surge pricing will result in a smaller increase in drivers, but a one that more closely resembles demand, which is exactly the kind of efficient allocation we'd hope for.
The better way to do this would be some sort of two-factor thing – e.g. imagine if the physical card had the equivalent of an embedded RSA-style one-time code generator or, better, a U2F USB/NFC device – which would be resistant to UI spoofing or, in the U2F case, phishing.

Unfortunately the banks have less motivation to invest in this as long as the costs of fraud are pushed onto merchants and all of the major players charge similar fees. If something like Apple Pay starts to catch on, perhaps we'll see that change once the banks’ main concern is avoiding a single vendor getting too much market share.
Acadia (http://npmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/acadia-map.jpg) has always been an example of this for me, both in how many private lands like this exist in National Parks, and of the striking difference between the east coast and the west in land ownership and attitude. It's dotted with and surrounded by private land, despite being a natural wonder in the class of Yosemite or Yellowstone in grandeur and uniqueness. At certain points, you drive over bridges that cross golf courses, and you can't help but wonder whether this Disneyland nature park isn't also inextricable from its web of humanity and history.

The west is still wild, and it's a human wonder that we've managed to keep it that way. I'm glad for public land. Its value to our society is truly immeasurable.

Another thought I have on this is that getting the user to sign in via Google/Facebook/Twitter might help. There's nothing stopping fraudsters from having a Google or Facebook account with a dud identity, of course, but at that point it might seem much easier to hit a different business. Has anyone had any experience with this approach? Does it work?

I have to imagine that the scripts controlling installation must sign the executable. (Assumption: unsigned executables can't be installed.) They can only do that by incorporating the signing keys. They might incorporate the keys by including the keys literally within the script proper, or by reading a file that contains them, but why are those situations different? Suppose the installation script defined a lisp interpreter and then read a data file which, when interpreted by the lisp interpreter defined in the script, installs the executable. Why isn't that data file also part of "the scripts used to control installation of the executable"?

I was surprised this past summer to see even Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina has an occasional odd private house, for example on Long Point Island.

Kayaking past two such houses sound-side was rather unexpected!

They are responsible for approving funding, and the mayor appropriated $6 million for the project without getting their approval. They would now have to find a way to pay for it, but their main point is that he overstepped his authority.

> I don't think you understand how economics work.

And I think your view is too narrow.

> the cost of the apples represented that cost

No, the cost of apples represented how much people wanted them. It had nothing to do with the cost of the tree maintenance. There is no requirement for the person to even maintain the tree - some food actually grows on trees. :-)

When the population doubles the village may decide differently. Your scenario is just one possible option, and that's my point.

> No matter what economical model you choose there is no such thing as "free"

That's not correct. This problem was dealt with very differently in different economic schools. Classicals for example had concept of land and rent (extraction). For them, it could have been "free", or rather, they understood that there is an arrangement in society. Neoclassicals, neokeynesians and austrians pretty much ignore this problem. Marx invented labor theory of value (all value comes from labor) to deal with it, which was quite a good attempt to find a generally acceptable solution (and you even allude to it where you try to claim that maintenance by humans is always required), but is unfortunately inconsistent.

I think the simplest resolution is to simply accept that things (and even ideas) can produce value on their own, without human intervention. This value can then be captured easily by humans, because these things don't protest like humans do. And this capture is not all that different from landowner capturing rent. It's just a matter of laws and customs how the windfalls from capture of the (free) value produced by things is distributed.

You may argue then how any profit should be distributed? Well, I have no idea, and I don't think anyone has, really. Even if you have just two people (say two different specializations) that are both required to produce certain thing, how do you divide profits from the thing? There is no correct answer to that question.

Capitalist's answer is to make one of them owner who decides for both, communist's answer is to divide them equally, democrat's answer is them to take vote, answer from labor theory is inconsistent and paradoxical (if you consider technical innovation in one job, one of them now works less but gets paid as before, which contradicts the assumption that value comes from labor), answer from free market theory is even weirder - that there is no profit to be divided, and answer from practice seems to be that it simply depends on political power of the parties (which may simply translate to bigger stick if you have just two people).

> Even money isn't free to maintain, so even if i drop a bag of money into your lap it will cost you.

This is arguably a different meaning of "free". On level of physics, nothing is really "free", because there is energy and entropy.. But in everyday use of the word "free" we are dealing with values relevant for humans, and they don't entirely map to these physics terms (in fact they often contradict, for example in GDP calculation).
