Other comments already explained what an activist investor is. It is adversarial...but that is the price to pay if you want to be a public company. If a company wants to raise capital from the public, they then need to deal with shareholders, especially large shareholders' wishes. If they dont want that type of noise, they can stay private.

The activist investor wants what is best for the stock, so it is not necessarily bad. It can be bad though if they only want a short-term pop in the stock, instead of a longer term growth plan.

Yur analogy makes more sense if Ford make cars that contain cameras and microphones and they monitor everything you say and do and where you go and they send all that information back to the mothership.

And they want to build cars for all poor people, but those cars can only travel to certain destinations on certain roads, but Ford making and providing these cars means other organisations who sell bicycles or mopeds or small cars (which provide a lot more freedom) are hampered.
>I also agree that the best VPN is one you set up yourself on a VPS that you control.

But aren't you "just" renting the VPS from companys like Digital Ocean just as you would rent the VPN access from somewhere else?

So if the VPN seller has means and probably does log your traffic and will give you up, how would a VPS seller like Digital Ocean be different? Surely they log your traffic as well? I mean, they have to if they offer dynamic pricing by usage and by offering packages like 1TB or 2TB traffic.

Maybe it is because the anglophiles assume that because they feel Shakespeare is such an outstanding figure in their own culture he must have the status in every other and cannot possible fathom something else. The truth is though, here in Germany (and surely in countries like France), Shakespeare is overwhelmingly known only through English media/culture such as TV shows, movies etc. and as far as I know not on any educational plan at all. Why would it be? There is such as vast amount of German writing (in the past at least) that one can easily do without him. I guess the problem is also that there was historically little overlap between English (i.e. British) and continental poetry (although translating Shakespeare into German was done by poets such as Schiller) and coincidentally, philosophy as well, at least that would be my impression.
what is not working?
Perhaps the software engineer will become redundant and have to take up darning socks when AI replaces them? It starts to get kind of sketchy when you start dictating how people should spend their time, as if the economy will always take care of them and the environment, so long as they play by the rules of economic efficiency. There are perverse/detrimental incentives in most economies. To suggest that economies and markets are inherently well intentioned seems simplistic and naive.

Environmental economic impact are usually only felt when the damage is so severe it starts to affect the supply chain while a company is still in business, which may take years or decades to manifest. By then the economic cost of the environmental damage may be too great for the company to properly deal with. All too often companies leave behind environmental devastation for others to clean up, and are absolved of the actual economic and environmental harm of their actions. Perhaps it becomes something that society has to deal with through higher taxes, but that just hides the cost rather than including it in the price seen on store shelves.
These lines seem odd to me, maybe it's just the wording:

> [gPanel] Deploying DNS via Heaven...
> hubot is deploying dns/master (deadbeef) to production.
> hubot's production deployment of dns/master (deadbeef) is done! (6s)

Is this just an IMO odd use of the word "deploying" or does a DNS change really mean building and deploying a new package/image?

If we consider Wales separately then I think it would beat NZ on density.

Microsoft WebCamp 2015- Live
> Against Apple Terms I believe.

Citation of the specific term needed. It isn’t against any of them and plenty of apps do it (Things, Boom or Monity come to mind). Apple requires that the app is functional without extra downloads and the app itself must not download the extra executables. But it’s OK to use them for extended functionality (Things: system-wide popup; Monity: extra sensors) as long as you only point the user to where to download the extra helper and they do it themselves (see e.g. http://www.monityapp.com/helper/ for one such helper download page, linked from in app).
good stuff. I use a simple technique that wasn't covered: cost / benefit ratio. Rate items on cost (dev, op, etc) and benefits (rev, profit, users, etc) on a 1 to 10 scale. Items with a high cost/benefit ratio go to the top of the backlog.

You can do a more complex version to account for variability in confidence in your scoring.

I think it's more that in countries with social security, people aren't forced to work on such low wages (or more precisely, on low income as a self-employed person).

If people have their rent and food and medical care paid for, and have access to a spectrum of free public services, it's not worthwhile to take the toll of labouring and fixing the clothes and shoes for others.

I can typically buy new, good quality shoes (made in Asia by people who have no social security) for the price of one or two simple repairs to shoes. My current favourites are six years old now, made by Ecco somewhere in China, and they show no significant signs of wear outside. I had to have them fixed once when a puppy chewed the heel of one of them a bit.

The problem is bigger in European welfare states than in the US. It's going away, though: the welfare state structures will be ramped down radically within a decade or two.

I'm Anglo-Saxon, and about as WASPy as it gets. When I was a teenager and got my driver's license, my Dad warned me that there were "bad cops" and that I should be careful to avoid getting stopped by police. If I did get stopped, he warned me to be on my guard and gave me tips on how to handle the situation (most of it was about saying as little as possible and not talking to police).

But the main thing I wanted to share was that he told me that bad cops sometimes plant evidence (usually drugs) in order to incriminate innocent people, and that I should be on my guard during these encounters and aware of everything that happens. And guess what? I didn't believe him! I honestly and naively could not believe that an officer of the law would do something like that. I had bought into the "protect and serve" nonsense.

Later, when I got a little older and more experienced, I figured out on my own that he was right and I told him that I had been wrong all along. Not because I got drugs planted in my car during a stop, but because I had seen it happen over and over again to other people, usually black or hispanic men.

When cops are found to be engaging in criminal activity and racism like this, they ought to be run out of law enforcement and never allowed to get another cop or security job. They should also be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

The idea makes a lot of sense, but why can't Yahoo! simply spin off their core business?

Right, so you implement this multi-get for every service, you work around the GET URL length limit by using POST or something, you do this slow HTTP join in parallel with any other service data you need if possible, in your application code, and you get what a single SQL JOIN gives you.

Interestingly though, Windows version of Numpy on Anaconda is quite a lot faster than what you'll get with Ubuntu, like 2x faster easily.

Volupedia: an experiment mixing Wikipedia pages with 3D models from Sketchfab
I have first-hand experience with a BI-ish system, squarely targeted at the enterprise and doing quite well there, that we wrote using Django and a whole list of open source components.

We did run into some resistance initially, because our stack is almost the opposite in every way of what our enterprise colleagues are used to. However, our development velocity, especially around analytical features and just in general, has made a most gratifying impact.

(I have to add that the 5-man dev team we have working on this is stellar. It's hard to determine scientifically what the interaction is between team quality and the choice of a Python-oriented software stack. See Paul Graham's essays for more discussion on that point.)

In terms of support: There are many highly professional often boutique software agencies that can support Django systems, if you're not around. To my mind this is even better than the normal commercial support you get from a different vendor for each different component in your commercial enterprise system.

Yes, this is actually one of the rare moments where I find my past background in competitive programming helpful. There's a habit I've picked up of constantly running through techniques to speed up whenever I'm coding. Not necessarily the most efficient way to code, but it's a habit difficult to change.
Usually the sysstat package.
There's a lot of benefits to this approach over a database join if you have async IO. Specifically, sharding becomes trivial and you can cache each movie individually, so if one movie changes you don't need to invalidate the cache for all of them.
Try it to see why not. :)

I'm seeing yet another metaweb ... I think either NS4 or IE4 had a built-in tool do this and even with half the web having it at its fingertips it still flopped.

The only real metaweb that has worked has been the indirect "share a link" on a link aggregator + comments - exactly what reddit, slashdot, digg, metafilter (funny name huh?) and hn are.

The insight is that there Needs To Be A Central, Browsable Repository of What Pages Have this Meta Content.

Without what is effectively a 21st century web-ring, it's not happening. There should be a page that shows new stuff and a search engine ... I mean essentially reddit + wikipedia. The layer has to a centralized interface

Yes, it might make sense if you're Facebook or Amazon to do this stuff. For the rest of us, a single (reasonably optimised) database can scale up to thousands of hits per second. Probably more.

Also there's another downside to this approach: you lose the ability to do atomic transactions on the application's data.

Let me just add Numba to the list. It compiles numpy-using code to native via llvm and can remove temporary arrays in the process.

I tried a very simple toy program the other day and while I had to write some things slightly un-pythonically (it can't deal with syntax like a[:] = b+c yet), it performed practically as good as hand-written C code.
We do this, it works well do us with 200-300 servers.
> Even if we reported a bug to Apple right now, it would still take months at a minimum before a fix is in the field and on all devices. So we need to get this working for everyone so we can move CardDAV out of beta.

Basically make a hacky workaround, and leave the situation as is for everyone else.

This is not meant directly as criticism, but one thing I really appreciate about the OpenBSD team is how they refuse to "fix" things by creating bad code as a workaround to other broken code.

They always submit patches upstream, and everyone gets to benefit.

If more people had that attitude towards code quality, we might not be in such a buggy universe as we are now.
