Exactly - the government should prevent markets from becoming less free - discouraging monopoly, persecuting fraud, encouraging transparency, taxing (appropriately) externalities, and owning natural monopolies (like infrastructure - dumb pipes owned by the government or a very regulated entity, and used by market competitors). I also think there should be less regulation in certain very regulated markets (banking, food) to encourage experimentation, but those should come with restrictions (e.g. no advertising, limited sales volume, etc.) - I think the world of hedge funds is a good example - they have less restricitons and hence can offer lower costs and better (or less correlated) performance, but they are effectively closed off to the general public (only "knowledgeable" investors can invest).
We're using it for agile and a number of us have realized that the tool (JIRA) dictates our workflow instead of the other way around.

So this rings really true to me.
Someone deleted a reply, that I was trying to respond to, about App Engine and http/2 push. My reply:

App Engine has supported the X-Associated-Content header for a little while now, and also supports the Link header, with rel=preload, like:

Link: <https://example.com/other/styles.css>; rel=preload; as=style

Super interesting, especially if this makes it easy to share your location via any app. How does the API work? Is there a cost for developers? What is your vision regarding distribution?

And only three years ago:

Turkey’s president said Saturday that his country would do “whatever is necessary” in response to the downing of a Turkish military jet by Syria, adding a new complication to the tense relationship between the former allies split by Turkey’s support for Syrian rebels trying to overthrow the government.

“It is not possible to cover over a thing like this,” said President Abdullah Gul of Turkey, according to the Anatolia news agency. “Whatever is necessary will no doubt be done.”

Syria said Friday that its military forces had shot down a Turkish jet that had entered its airspace just off the Syrian coast. But Mr. Gul said Saturday that while the exact route of the plane had not yet been confirmed, _it was routine for military jets flying at high speeds to briefly cross into another country’s airspace_, and that the jet’s presence over Syrian territory was not intended as a hostile act.

Sure! It's been under active investigation by NASA for about eight years now: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experime...

We're fairly sure we understand the mechanism--there's an experiment ongoing to confirm now, especially with regard to Commander Scott Kelly and his year-long mission on the ISS--but we're not entirely sure what to do about it if we're right. We're pretty well obligated for the next fifty years--give or take--to microgravity environments for long-duration spaceflights for lack of research into spinning toruses or tether systems.

Microgravity is a tough environment for a human to live in, physically.

Would that be something like punching through a target? If you're aiming for just the hold, you risk not putting enough power or movement behind your effort. If you're aiming for after it (or after a hole in golf, through the person in boxing, etc.) then you will achieve your actual goal.

Truth to be told, I had no idea you were talking about 30% fluctuations. I had something like 0-5% in mind. My bad.

The average American is not a manufacturer who exports goods abroad, so the impact is minimal.
Agreed for JIRA and Confluence. They are quite hard to set correctly and use correctly.

I'd like to +1 for slack. Simple to use and manageable without much knowledge.
Is that entirely true, though? I'm too small a fish to be in the position to negotiate much. And besides, at my scale, there's no reason "negotiation" can't be expressed as simple mechanical rules (fixed-length contracts, volume discounts, usage tiers, etc.). Off the shelf is what I want, not some bullshit corporate sales thing.

Regarding the factually incorrect bit, could you elaborate? I was under the impression that the energy required was proportional to the square of the velocity, so a 10x increase in velocity (from ~Mach 3 to ~Mach 30) would result in a 100x increase in energy required, which seems to be what he's saying.

Is my understanding inaccurate?
You don't today but back in 2007, we did. We we running 600-700 Mbps through a fairly complex PF ruleset on a Sun x86 server with Intel NICs on OpenBSD 3.9 and we were beginning to run up against a CPU wall. I'm sure things are significantly better today with modern NICs and 5.8.
For the record, I have also read a quite a few people on the mailing lists strongly disagreeing with those claims.
My challenges are mainly around retention and grooming the team. We work with lots of offshore resources who change frequently and whom we don't talk to directly always. However, when changes happen we want to retain the best and know who to cut. I'd also like to know who I can pull from where when a new project comes up.

I was hoping to gather metrics in the following dimensions:

1. Versatile (can work on multiple stacks and languages)
2. Team Player (watches out for the team and does what needs doing regardless if assigned to them)
3. Detail oriented and delivers quality code (doesn't break the build, good test coverage, adheres to formatting guidelines)
4. Productive
5. Communication skills (can and does communicate appropriately)

For many of these, we could gather proxy measures, i.e.

1. Versatile (in the last year, how many different file types did this person touch or work on.
2. Team Player (did they fix a build broken by someone else, how often do they fix their own broken builds)

etc etc

The government is investing heavily on modernizing the roads right now, but it's a little hard to imagine how bad the roads are. Here's a video that's pretty representative of roads throughout much of the country:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTC2w860HKo

Now, there are some stretches of very modern highways and the road system is improving fast, but still getting around takes a long time due to heavy traffic, animals crossing the road (or just standing in the road), large amounts of foot traffic along and across the road, etc.

I have a hunch that even the most efficient electrical engines would have a hard time maintaining efficient operation with all the starting and stopping.

Report finds Android/iOS apps regularly 'spy on users'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34732514

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, and Carnegie-Mellon universities studied 110 apps available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
They found 73% of the Android apps shared users' email addresses, and 47% of the iOS apps shared location data.
Android health app Drugs.com shared medical information - including words such as "herpes" - with five third-party domains, including doubleclick.net and googlesyndication.com.
The research also found that 93% of the Android apps tested connected to the domain safemovedm.com

> I'm never buying again. If they want me to sink 30 years of my life into monthly payments, I'm going to need a job that will last for at least 30 years of steady paychecks.

I don't get this. If you rent instead, you'll just be sinking monthly payments into that (maybe more, maybe less than with buying).

And there's no need for a job that lasts 30 years, you just need to keep the ability to make the payment every month. But that is also true when renting.

I personally know several people that did go back. The common thread was parole and/or probation programs that just weren't achievable.

Requirements vary, but typically there's:
- tons of recurring fees (classes, mandatory drug testing, etc)
- reimbursement of the court's costs
- classes, parole officer, drug testing, etc, located in areas away from public transportation
- judges that chronically no-show, after you've paid to get there, parking, etc.

I spoke to one in-depth...it's about $500/month in direct costs, not including indirect costs like transportation. In many areas you would really have to own a vehicle to get to the required places. Which, for a felon, also means "special" high cost SR-22 insurance.

Couple that with the sort of jobs available to a convicted felon, and...

[This new gym] is just one more example of companies that are now answering the call from today’s burgeoning gig economy for products and services that are stylish and fun but also cheap and focused—and customizable. Used to working on-demand anywhere and anytime, gig economy freelancers expect the same kind of flexibility and focus from the vendors who provide the picks and shovels of their often-blurred personal and professional lives.

Author is confusing the "gig economy" w/ the "as a service" business model.

The "gig economy" refers to changes in the composition of the labor force and the different types of contracts that are becoming the norm between employer/employee. Uber treats its drivers as quasi employee contractors who have more flexible work schedules but do not get the traditional benefits of a salaried employee, and generally need to provide their own capital (vehicle).

The "as a service" model refers more to the vendor/customer relationship where customers are coming to expect more flexibility and subscription services rather than outright purchases of goods and services. You buy a monthly subscription for server space and compute power rather than a dedicated server room w/ IT staff & sysadmins. Then you layer on security, analytics, dev management, mobile, testing tools as needed. In the gym example, you buy the bare bones subscription package and add towel service, snacks, earbuds, other privileges as you see fit.

Both buzzwords that do an adequate job of describing new business models, but the author confuses the concepts and kind of fumbles around, naming different companies that could be vaguely associated w/ pioneering either one.

I'm in full support of some housing/rental market regulation, but such regulation is not without its cons.

Similar to Berlin, in New York, tenants have very strong rights. For instance, if a tenant stops paying rent, the landlord can't evict that tenant for 6 months. This sounds nice--helping someone in need instead of the greedy landlord--but the overall effect is largely negated (as usual, the market seems to always adjust when you mess with it). It's now MUCH harder to get an apartment in New York in the first place. You need a large income, guarantors, or lots of savings, in addition to credit checks, bank staements, tax statements, etc. I'm pretty sure the same people that the law was meant to help are now unable to rent in the first place.

One idea I have is, instead of messing with the free market, create a futures exchange whereby renters and landlords can lock in rent. This market is possible because there are just as many people concerned about rent going up as there are rent going down.

If you want to keep renting, but you don't want to hedge yourself via the futures market or via buying a place, you'll just have to accept the risk that you'll be priced out of your neighborhood someday.

I really do not like this license, it prevents usage with other licensing models near completely. Say I want to integrate their code intelligence into gitlab community (MIT licensed), I'm shit out of luck, even if I were to create a relicensed version of gitlab under the Sourcegraph license, it seems as though it'd be unclear who gets what fees and who counts as a "user" in this case. Would it force me as a devleoper who just wants to make something cool to deal with licensing costs? Would I have to be a middleman between Sourcegraph and enterprise customers? Could I say no enterprise customers, too bad, I don't want to deal with it?

What if I, as an individual, fork the project to add some breaking features that not all users may want? Who gets the money from those corporate licensors? Am I even allowed to do so? The fair.io site doesn't make it clear and based on what they do say, I'd be extremely hesitant to make anything more than casual use of software under this license.

It seems to me, based on the information on fair.io that I can simply fork the project, offer enterprise licenses for $0.01, or heck, make a fork for my company which is identical to the original but has my logo on it and charge my company $0 for licensing... is there any prevention of this that I'm missing? IANAL but this legal portion here looks flimsy and lacks important definitions, especially with regards to protections from stuff like that.
