That's why corporations have CEOs.

I think it's more that the owners realize without this rule cities will demand some kind of civic ownership of teams before they'll be willing to shell out tax money for stadiums and such.

kinda. If one thinks that SSL is secure (with CA's like Commodo existing), and that broken encryption is still encryption, then yes. IRC supports encryption.
Unions only come into existence because of capitalism. In a cooperative, the employees are the owners, so there's no such thing as a union.

What about unions of public workers? Even in the USSR there were unions. Worker cooperatives are not the only alternative to capitalism.
It will be exactly the same as 1.5.3 normally since no feature are added in those releases. The key generation problem had no visible impact on the tls negociation, it simply resolved a flaw in the key generation process.
Some thoughts:

5 (Chinese space hotel): Not likely.

15 (stopping a hurricane): Less likely. Also, what are the consequences in terms of reducing the spread of heat? Won't it just make the next hurricane bigger?

17 (controlling gravity): No way.

18 (democracy viewed as inferior): Inferior to what? Yeah, sure, democracy is lousy (and the current US election cycle doesn't fill one with much enthusiasm), but what's better?

21 (only 5% of forest fires): That would be catastrophic, because the 5% of fires would be enormous, because smaller fires would not clear out the fuel.

I'm plonking that alongside "when did you stop beating your wife"-style trap questions.

I really think it has more to do with the examples that we are discussing. Cities throwing money at teams with no strings attached, and then the teams leave and the cities are still paying off the debt. It's ridiculous that they didn't at least make sure that the team couldn't take such an action.

There's also the fact that the cities are basically footing the bill for some rich people to make more money.
Why do you consider it flippant?
Dart is doing fine.

It has not replaced Javascript (that was never going to happen) but it has seen a slow but steady growth in adoption.

There are some amazing things happening with Dart on mobile (flutter.io), Dart on embedded (fletch), and improved JS interop with things like the Dart Dev Compiler (DDC).

Angular 2 is still in Beta, but has first class support for Dart.

Perhaps it did not live up to it's initial hype - but Dart is a pretty "safe" bet

Why aren't stadiums shared multi-use endeavours?

Here, square stadiums are used by rugby (union and league) in the winter and soccer in the summer. Oval stadiums are used by AFL in the winter and cricket in the summer. In between, they occasionally host concerts - for example, when there's away games, or mid-week, or between seasons.

This seems like a way better approach than the NFL one. Is it just because NFL / baseball / basketball (the 'big 3' in the US as far as I can tell) are all so radically different in field/court size and design that they can't be housed together? Is there any overlap that can occur in stadium mixed-use?
> But what seems to infuriate people is that orchestras and ballets are typically not owned by billionaires, and they are not part of a league with a multi-billion dollar budget.

Naturally; orchestras and ballets would struggle to exist without taxpayer money. Sports teams do not have this issue, which is why people complain; essentially every dollar spent by the taxpayers on a stadium is another dollar in the pocket of the team owner. I don't know about football, but no owner in the history of baseball has lost money on their team; even those operating at a negative cash-flow have seen net increases due to the increasing value of their team.
My point is: they shouldn't ONLY plan on ensuring recovery occurs fast; they should also plan on having multiple data centers, which to me is more important. It's frightening to know that such an important service is only operating in a single data center.

However, their recovery report didn't mention anything about such a plan.

3. Integration

They were the first dominant syncing solution. Practically everything needing this feature has integrated DB. Beyond DB, the competition is a mix of Google Drive and iCloud, and maybe something else. Maybe if iOS and Android had centralized the interface to these types of features, DB would have gone away years ago, or adapted to the market.

typo in the headline. we need one more 'c' in accident.
Huh, I can't find anything to that effect in the proposal. It does mention the existence of runners for Spark and Flink, but doesn't say they'll be getting streaming support. I had assumed it was unlikely for the same reason that this article talks about (lack of support for first-class processing by event time).

But assuming it's true. it's very welcome news! I'll be keeping a close eye on future releases.
For what it's worth (and because someone said they were "hoping for an insider leak"), here's what a genuine insider had to say about this article:

Just awful.

Phoenix built a huge sports stadium, then gave the naming rights to University of Phoenix in return for a donation, which rankled a lot of taxpayers who had footed most of the bill.

They levy a tax of several bucks on every car rental called the "stadium tax", ostensibly to help fund the stadium, although critics say it punishes tourists and locals who need a rental car, and anyway the money is apparently routed to other uses.

I see nothing wrong with building a world class sports facility. Build it, and they will come. It brings in millions of dollars in tourism and related business. The problem is when cities that build these things don't know how to budget properly, don't monetize the stadium properly, and piss away a lot of the money in corruption, fraud, nepotism, are taken advantage of by unscrupulous contractors and unions, and so forth.

Probably a public-private consortium would do a better job in the long run. Public to get the initial rights-of-way and easements, private to run the thing efficiently and profitably and defend against the con artists who plague all such major projects.
You're spot on, but there is a use. It's sometimes handy to have a chunk of your life where you're forced to be idle for blocks of time. I loved taking the bus for that reason, because there was always a distraction at home, and I was busy at school. So the long (1.5 hour each way) bus commute was great for reading or just clearing out the mind (I'm an introvert, so long periodic stretches of isolation are nice).

Of course, I like being only 15 minutes from home. But I miss having that external crutch a bit.
As someone with a fair bit of ruby+rails+redis experience, I don't think this is blasphemous, but I also don't think the performance issues of ruby/rails having anything to do with the failure. Generally you would cache/store something in redis not because your programming language or framework is slow, but because a query to another database is slow (or at least, slower than redis), or because redis data structures happen to be a good/quick way to store certain kinds of data.

I believe the fundamental issue was just that redis availability was taken for granted by app servers so that certain code paths/requests would fail if it wasn't available, rather than merely be slower.
What infuriates people is these deals are always sold to the public as some sort of net-positive redevelopment, instead of what's really happening, which is a transfer of tax money to team owners.

With orchestras and ballets and performing arts centers everybody knows up front you have an ongoing financial liability. And the numbers are smaller.
>Redis is really reliable (in my experience at least)

Redis has been demonstrated[0][1] to lose data under network partitions. This is particularly concerning when discussing the type of partial failure that GitHub reported.

I am from Brazil.

You should not build any stadiums for a private team using public money, the only stuff you should build with public money is stuff aiming for public use (example: community centers, bicycle race tracks that anyone can use, public olympic swimming pools for anyone that wanna learn and train, and so on).

The World Cup stadiums are right now mostly abandoned, and giving us lots of trouble, some of them saw like 3 games during the tournament, and were never used again, it is a waste of money and land.

Other stadiums now we found out that were just a means to funnel corruption money in certain people pockets, and even the stadiums that ARE in use, don't made the government profit.

The World Cup in fact made the country lose money, the tourist spending don't covered all the money we lost. (and no, it didn't drove the economy either, one of the effects of the World Cup is that the government defaulted on many companies, that were forced to also default, and so on, resulting in my parents shop being defaulted too, and now we are in deep shit, including struggling to buy food sometimes, my parents are unsure when a potential new costumer shows up, if they sell because we desperately need the money, or if they refuse the sale because we've been defaulted too much and cannot afford another default).
I mean nothing ... violent or otherwise unpleasant by this, but it's really important to learn to let go. You pushed the rock up the hill for a while and now maybe it's somebody else's turn.

IMO, it's important to retain the capacity for grace in these things. Not least for your own sake, much less you're career.

I would read the parts of Shelby Foote's "Civil War" surrounding Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. It helped. Whatever else may be said of Lee, he was a master of grace under pressure.
I don't think liability is that key here.

cost of damages = # of accidents * cost per accident

- Self driving cars should reduce the number of accidents

- Cost per accident seems independent of the kind of car you drive. If a human driven taxi hits me, I can sue the taxi company. If a self driven taxi hits me, I can sue Google. I should be able to sue for the same amount in either case.
It's all boring...

Shirling though... Now that's a sport.

In addition to the points made by 'thesimon' about OneDrive pricing:

Apple's cloud storage offering includes 50GB ($12/year), and 200GB ($36/year) tiers. I'd bet 99% of Dropbox users could fit in one of those tiers and save a lot of money.

I have a 1TB OneDrive and 200GB iCloud, but I spend money on Dropbox because I trust them to be reliable. If the others catch up on reliability, where is the path for Dropbox's survival? (They're smart guys, so I'm sure they've thought about it)
I was also wondering what they are using Redis for; found this article [1] from a while ago discussing Redis at Github; presumably the architecture has moved on a bit since then, but this may shed a bit of light on the subject.

While I agree that Java has been one of the most stable and backwards-compatible languages out there (especially compared to things like Scala, which regularly breaks source and binary backwards compat), there are still rough edges. I am not the original poster, but I can speak for why JVM deployments take time on Hadoop (which I work on).

* In order to upgrade the JVM, all the software you run has to work with the new JVM. If there's even one minor library that doesn't work or is suboptimal, you can't cut over. This is not an issue with Go because everything is compiled to an x86_64 binary there, whereas in Java everything is a jar file that must be run under (almost always a single) JVM.

* During a JVM version change, often Oracle removes or modifies non-public APIs that you need to achieve acceptable performance. For example, there is still no public way to free a DirectByteBuffer or create a FileChannel from a FileDescriptor, so you have to use the non-public APIs. Go almost never has this sort of problem since they tend to provide public APIs for everything you need, including platform-specific things.

* We run really big JVM heaps (>100 GB), and so minor changes in the GC behavior or default settings can cause major issues. For example, JDK8 changed the defaults for many GC tunables. It takes weeks of work at least for us to validate that there are no significant regressions. This is an issue that I would expect Go to have as well since they are changing the GC.

* Enterprise customers are extremely risk-averse, and they're not enthusiastic about deploying a new JVM. Operationally, they don't see any upside, only downsides. Of course JVM upgrades have to happen eventually, but they usually happen when new software is rolling out as well. Oracle's decision to stop shipping security updates for older JVM versions has "helped" in a sense by making the issue seem more urgent.

* Open source projects don't like dropping support for users running older software. There is usually someone around to argue against dropping support for anything that rolled out within the last 5 years.

I've been Ops lead at Infoxchange for over 3 years now, I never thought I'd stay at an organisation for that long. I truly love my job, it's the first time in my life that I wake up on a Monday morning actually wanting to go to work. The people are fantastic, the organisational ethics are real and transparent and there's little to no bureaucracy.
>>One practical benefit is you can roll out of bed 20 minutes before class, skipping the morning commute and...

I never understood this. If a person doesn't have the discipline to wake up early(unless he/she has been studying all night), further incentivizing their laziness is barely the solution to their problems.

And let's be frank, staying living at school doesn't translate to more time for studies. It generally means you waste more time with friends.
As a Green Bay Packer Shareholder, there's a lot wrong with your idea. As per the 2011 Offering Document[1]:

1) The limit isn't 5% per individual, 30% per family. It's 200 shares. Total.

2) Shares can only be transferred to immediate family, defined as "the spouse, children, mother, father, brothers, sisters, or any lineal descendant of a shareholder". An improper transfer will give the Corporation the right to purchase the shares at 2 .5 cents per share.

3) "As is the case with holders of Outstanding Shares, a purchaser of Common Stock in the Offering will not receive any
Packers merchandise, through the purchase of Common Stock. However, purchasers will play a key role in facilitating
the continued viability of a professional football team in Green Bay and will have the opportunity to have a voice in
the Corporation’s governance. In addition, shareholders will receive an invitation to the Corporation’s annual meeting
and have the opportunity to purchase exclusive shareholder merchandise."[1]

Or in the words of Tom from "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "You get a gold plated Rolls-Royce, as long as you pay for it."

So what do you get? A piece of paper. The right to vote. The ability to purchase specially branded merchandise. It's not even really a fan club.

I think both length of code is a side effect that results from the primary argument, and "cant do event time" is one of the symptoms. Neither is a primary argument in the blog post.

The primary argument is demonstrated through color coding different logical bits, which end up being clearly portable and elegantly distinct in dataflow.

This is demonstrated in two ways:

1. The "juicy value add" code that does the aggregation is labeled yellow, and doesn't change across all the samples with Dataflow. With Spark, it needs to be rewritten for every use case. Similarly, for all colors.

2. In Dataflow all the colors are separate. This makes expressing your logic easier. In Spark, the colors mix in dramatic ways with every demonstrated use case.

As Tyler said, all this is described in the blog post itself, but I don't blame you for missing it, since it's a really long post :)

The Green Bay Packers are a non-profit corporation in a private sports league. Business competition within a league is prima facie absurd.

Symphony orchestras, ballets and performing arts centers also tend to be not-for-profit entities.

I'm happy to see my tax dollars go to schools, parks, community arenas and playfields, and, yes, performing arts centers.

For profit, successful (or at least extremely valuable) sports franchises ... not so much.
If it's a data center owned by a third party, they probably can't talk about it.
Every time you take a job, have a plan for the end game. Plans are worthless but planning is everything.

I totally share the same view that to best avoid failure is to embrace it and cope with it.

It is true that all their sentence is about recovery, however, it is disappointing that they didn't mention anything about a redundant datacenter.
Also, of note, the ever popular HAProxy Github uses and mentions stands for "High Availability Proxy".
Because you are not currently living in the US (implied by "I'm not American") you won't be able to go to tech gatherings and develop inside relationships with companies.

I suggest you gather a list of companies you want to intern at and send emails to all of them. Send emails to the founders and to specific people within the company, not a generic company wide email address. This ensure your communication is personal.

Some are bound to respond, and of those that respond some will offer you an interview and of those you can get an internship. Unless you have your eyes set on a specific company - which it seems like you don't - go broad.

They used support both football and baseball.
Oakland has the last multi-purpose stadium for MLB and NFL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O.co_Coliseum

Baseball needs a large oval and foot ball needs a rectangle.
The compromise to support both baseball and football leads to a suboptimal solution for both.
The things you listed that typically lose money are funded BECAUSE they can't be profitable on their own. Not IN SPITE of it. Professional sports can more than afford to fund their own stadiums, they just CHOOSE not to.
The NHL (ice hockey) and NBA (basketball) share some stadiums. The NFL (football) and MLB (baseball) used to share a few but I think only one or two still do, if any.

But you will find things like monster truck events, dirt bike racing. or concerts at sports stadiums quite often.
Whoops yeah, I worded that badly :)
Not sure how your comment refutes the contention of reliability. Seems to me to be more a condemnation of failures that do happen (which is of course worthy of concern, but irrelevant in a conversation about stability).
