>First, visit a nursing home. How much is "not dying" worth?

Not dying is hard to divorce from not aging, at least in any significant sense. This isn't an argument about a few extra years in exchange for extended morbidity. Compressed morbidity is a valuable counterpoint to modern medicine's unrelenting treatment, and luckily it's gaining momentum in the medical community. But the therapies in question have very marginal returns. Significant life extension is almost certainly only achievable by keeping us young for a very long time.

It is also critical that we remember the principal of autonomy. For all of the elderly folks who would like to move on, there are many who prefer not to, frailty and all. The fact that some would like to die is no justification for denying treatment to those who do not. Denying life extension to people who desire it, by the same argument, it is equally ridiculous.

>Then, visit an elementary school. Given the earth's finite carrying capacity, do you want to have a world with no children?

No, I suppose not, but nobody has the right to ask another to die so that they may bring a new child into the world. There are lots of benefits I might realize from taking advantage of another's suffering, but that doesn't mean I should be allowed to. There is no "right to be conceived". There is a right to life.
You are not their target market - which is fine. There many good options for serious photographers.

90% of folks just want seamless backup and organization of their photos. Phone cameras are getting pretty amazing in quality these days. Google photos caters to that demand.
I'm patiently waiting for you all to decide to focus your main interest on making gitlab.com the best place to host open source projects, while the GitLab EE/on premise stuff turns into a quiet side gig that just happens to bring in some extra cash.

Any chance of that happening soon?

To rephrase: There are folks willing to give you cash right now to be the host for their projects. Would there be a way to convince you to take it?
First off - you guys have a great thing going and I wish you all the luck.

What's the current status of the GitLab.com infrastructure? Are you still on Azure, and if so, how has it been? Does it seem like things are humming along and stable now, or do you foresee some more growing pains before things are rock solid?
> That is a heck of a short turn-around time (about one month) to upgrade the entire LTS install base.

I was merely pointing out that "Ubuntu LTS doesn't have a version of OpenSSL with ALPN support" was changing between now and that change. I wasn't suggesting that the entire LTS install base would be upgraded before that change (nor do I think that's relevant; lots of Ubuntu LTS servers presumably are not web servers for which this is relevant.)

In any case, that NPN and SPDY would be removed in favor of ALPN and HTTP/2 in "~early 2016" was announced on February 9, 2015. Not sure there are good excuses for people for whom this is a big deal being caught unprepared at this point.

You have a choice of many different employers and you have the choice to form your own venture (be it software development, business consulting, running a restaurant, doing landscaping, driving Uber, or even walking dogs and doing general errands).

I'm not aware of countries where your choice is "do this one specific job for this one specific employer or else starve".

Why all this negativity ?
Thanks for jumping in to the thread. I'd really like GitLab to succeed simply because I like the results of healthy competition. So can I name a couple of things that are standing in its way?

1. gitlab.com site search is effectively down. A simple keyword search, e.g. for 'omniauth' takes 45 seconds:

https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=omniauth&gro...

I periodically find other site links which are surprisingly slow, like this one.

2. I'd really like to add GitLab oauth2 as a first-class citizen for people to sign in to my apps( e.g. http://nonstop.qa/users/sign_in ), along with GitHub and Google. Adding those two were easy, but I haven't found a working, maintained Ruby omniauth GitLab adapter.

Thanks, and good luck!
What does a "host" mean in context of deployment with this tool? Does it mean that you spin up instances and then deploy over and over on the same set?

GitLab EE's source code is also available, though not under an open source license. Most of the differences are things I'd like to eventually see in an open source project (maybe GitLab CE, maybe a plugin, maybe a fork).

From my perspective the best thing would be for them to eventually open source some features I'd like to have in an open source project hosting service, once they've made more reasons for people to pay them. The worst thing would be if someone added it in a plugin or fork of GitLab CE and the company GitLab were to claim that they must have looked at the GitLab EE source code. GitLab Pages and audit logs are the features I'd most like to see in the open source version.

This is much like Nginx Plus's improved load balancing with health checks, which has me considering Tengine.
There is an argument to be made in the sample size. More men than women make pull requests. Women don't have as many accounts as men do on Github. The experience a man has will vary by his education and skills and a lot of men join without any skills or experience to get started in open source. Women are given special classes and mentors to learn how to code that men are not allowed.

These are factors on the test that could affect results.

A lot of men just join Github without any experience, so of course they will have less pull requests accepted and a lower size file. A lot of women are given special classes to learn how to code and assigned a mentor to teach them how to code better and these programs are only for women. Women generally don't take an interest in programming only making up 18% of computer science classes, but they get tuition discounts and other help for being a woman.

You don't need to build tall to increase density.

Areas of Tokyo like Setagaya have population densities in excess of 14000 residents per square kilometer. There are few tall buildings; it is largely single-family homes.

Vancouver proper only has a density around 5000 residents per square kilometer. There's plenty of land to infill with housing without building tall.

Thanks for your question! We're a VC backed startup so we have to have a so called liquidity event at some point. As explained on https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/ our goal is to IPO instead of being aquired. This will ensure we can preserve our culture, mission and goals.

There will always be an open source version of GitLab, more than 1000 people contributed and it the most popular self-hosted option, used on-premises by more than 100,000 organizations. They will keep going with the open source version, with our without GitLab Inc.

But the MySQL purchase by Sun and Oracle has shown what can happen to projects when the company is acquired. The best option we saw is to at least codify our promise to the rest of the community in https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship

When we break our promise it is time to fork.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

"This is such a hard problem to solve, no one wants to force elderly people to move"

Not really, in Maryland property taxes are reduced for house holds making under 60k and are zero for people who make under 10k. There are limits on the value of the home so you can't buy a mansion and then live in it retired and tax free but it protects poor people and old people.

I used to work for a news paper website. We sold display and site-takover ads for many times the CPM that you'd get for Google ads.

To find roughly what advertisers pay just google "sitename rate card" and you'll get the list price. Actual price might be less (if they are having problems selling it all) but in many cases it will be close (or at least ballpark) to what ads are actually selling for.

Example:

Shows they are/were selling at between £20-40 per CPM for various banners.

Sneak Attack on Net Neutrality
Hm, what about the other goals of walking 10k steps? I started walking to lose weight and found, thanks to all these smart devices, that when I walk more than 15k steps I actually drop in weight. Since I'm on the very unhealthy part of the scale it really helps a lot to improve my health.

What I found is that the motivational gain from having data is quite low though. For a month maybe it was good motivation, but if you don't have someone to specifically compete against then you just stop caring.
Despite setting up my own gitlab instance once, and trying to get the company I was working at onboard, I never knew that gitlab.com was a thing for hosting projects... is this recent?

I met my wife at a past work and... I still disagree with you.

Look, my future wife and I shared an office but were on different teams and projects. We befriended each other. Neither of us embarrassed the other at work by making unwelcome passes that aren't easy to back away from in a work-related situation. We never really shared work responsibilities, but if we had, neither of us would have replied to a request for work-related help with an invitation to discuss the color of each other's eyes. Neither of us was in a position of power over the other. Our relationship developed outside of the office, in a context where it was obvious our interactions were not work related, and where if anyone wanted to back away from that, it wouldn't have impacted our jobs at all.

"Hitting on someone", in the context of writing unsolicited flirtatious messages on a support channel, prompted only by the fact the profile picture of support staff looks like a girl is unambiguously creepy.

Having an "AI" organize, edit and tag my photos frees up a lot of time. Part of the transition is learning to let go of the way I used to manage photos.

Oh wow, that's all they have to say after weeks? Funny enough Gitlab responded in hours. Opportunistic or not, that is why people are taking it seriously.

While these high-intensity sessions
are believed to be critical to achieving maximal
performances, they cannot be performed optimally
if intervening basic endurance sessions are performed
at too high an intensity (Bruin et al., 1994). However,
high-intensity training sessions appear to be well
tolerated when variation in intensity of training is
ensured (Lehmann et al., 1991, 1992). Less experienced athletes may tend to train harder than prescribed during low-intensity sessions and not hard
enough during prescribed high-intensity sessions
(Foster et al., 2001).

Of course if you're training for general fitness rather than to optimize performance, then zone 2 training is fine. It burns calories and you feel like you get a workout without the pain and injury potential of higher intensity training.

Though it may not feel like it right now, you can do all of these things and more, you can do none of these things.... the truth is it actually doesn't matter what it is that you've done.

What is more important is the attitude you bring towards living! Though grunt work is soul crushing to the average person, it does pay the bills when you are just starting out.

Don't sweat the small stuff, don't let your mind think it is doomed to an unworkable situation. Conduct thought experiments often at work and in your spare time, and keep the friends you meet that are truly interesting people in consistent contact.
It's insane. The people who don't work live close to the business districts collecting social security paid for by the people who do work who have to commute in from afar for the privilege. Then the people who don't work vote themselves favorable property tax rules so they don't have to pay their fair share of keeping up the city.

The disappearance of your experience is no gift, no matter how well you wrap it. I fail to understand how easily many people differentiate between near-term life extension (chemotherapy, beta blockers) and long-term life extension. The "natural" lifespan is a form of anchoring. Anything less feels like you're being fleeced, but ask for too much more, and you're being greedy. But this is nonsense. Nothing, short of religion, prescribes that a certain lifespan is the best one. If you ask for ten more years of quality, everybody thinks it's a worthwhile pursuit of medical research. Come to the end of those ten and ask for ten more, and it's the same worthwhile pursuit without end. Why, then, when we simply apply the shorthand of calling it 100 or 1000 years, does death suddenly sound like a welcome idea-- an idea we think is right to impose on the population? If the common lifespan were 40 years, do you believe you'd consider 80 to be just as silly? If 80 is not so silly under any circumstance, then why is it so special that 160 is wrong to desire?
These type of approaches are how to begin to SWAT proof privacy services analogous to what was Lavabit provided, but some of other issues are:

- overlay node discovery, registration (which ethereum may handle)

- interop with common protocols DNS/TLS/SMTP/IMAP/IP/"entry|exit" nodes

- assure high availability of persistent data

- end-to-end encryption

- incentivize people to run nodes to provide bandwidth, low latency, storage and computing resources... possibly to rate limit the API and pay/barter nodes with multiple cryptocurrency/ies ( LTC / maaaybe something on top of ethereum in addition to BTC)... more than just for access, but analogous to running a solar array at home and being connected to the grid

- ease of building applications and extensions on top of other distributed services (make it dead simple, not over-engineered... ethereum appears to do this)

> This is such a hard problem to solve

Actually, it's an easy problem to solve technically; the hard part is selling the solution politically.

All you have to do is, instead of capping the growth of the tax rate, you cap the growth of the required payment against the tax. If the tax is greater than the required payment in a given year, the locality gets a lien on the property for the difference; but, critically, that lien does not become due until the property is sold.

This system would let localities collect, in the steady state, as much property tax as they would have before; it's just that they wouldn't actually receive part of the tax on a given property until it was sold, so the money coming in would be a little lumpy. But that doesn't seem like a serious problem.

Anyway, the point is, if localities could still collect the amount of property tax on residential properties that they need, they would be more inclined to encourage residential construction.

It's been done in places, and it should have been done in California. Prop. 13 is destroying the state.
It's pretty well established in endurance training circles. Train hard or train easy, but that point just below 'hard' just exhausts you without providing training benefit.

But you don't necessarily increase poverty by decreasing utility and increasing inequality.

I'm asking about values, not specific world conditions. Sometimes the world lets us get everything we want - e.g., globalization and capitalism so far have reduced poverty and inequality together.

But sometimes the world doesn't give us the easy case. That's when we actually need to understand our values, and answer questions like "how many people will I push into poverty to reduce GINI by 1%?" If your answer is zero, you agree with me completely and don't care about inequality. Are you agreeing with me that inequality is irrelevant now?

Hi brudgers, thanks for taking your time to give us some feedback!

We haven't really thought of the christian iconography like that and you are the first one mentioning it. I can really see your take of it and it would have been better to use a non religious symbol, I agree.

I don´t agree that you get "nothing" when signing up. You get a free account that you can use totally free to send, track and sign documents (not only during trial but also afterwards). But maybe that isn't that clear. Maybe the signup rate would increase if you just sign up with a username instead of e-mail. I will absolutely take your feedback in consideration future changes.
Thanks for your question! We are trying to make GitLab.com the best place to host open source projects, see https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/

We do not think that paying for hosting itself makes sense, see https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/#why-gitlab-com-will-be-...

Instead of giving cash to use I would encourage people to move their projects and contribute by adding the features they need or helping our people, see https://about.gitlab.com/about/#donations
Poor choice of wording.

I'm 43. While this is no excuse, I suppose, I grew up in a time that was not as ridiculously P.C. as it is now. I find myself increasingly surrounded by this sort of sensitivity to any (even joking) conventionally-male analogies used when dating. I'm also a US Veteran and a member of a fraternity, two bastions of male-centrist worldview.

But also, just to be clear... Disgust is a non-argument. :P

The free hosted Gitlab is great. I really appreciate having it around. And if you haven't looked at it recently, it's faster than it used to be.

Free unlimited private repos w/ 10GB storage per repo (including LFS!) is fantastic. A recent project I worked on involved integrating ~15 upstream modules into a build process. Having the ability to set up a git repo for each module instead of thinking 'maybe I can come up with some hack to do this with less repos' is huge.

Having Gitlab CI w/ the ability to use your own workers just by running a single docker command is the icing on the cake.

And the fact that the repos which need to stay on our own infrastructure can also use GitLab - with an open source option to boot - is what makes choosing GitLab a very easy decision.
Maybe you would find "The Game" by N. Strauss useful.

Don't get too distracted by their "evolutionary science" which is 80% bullcrap, don't get too excited by their "tricks" which are straight way to maneuver yourself into position where you'll be constantly forced to lie and feel like shit for doing so. Just read their story.

Let's say that it opened my mind to what kinds of insanity people do in the name of something they want to be love. I used to be badly afraid of ending in a bad relationship, but since reading this I started to notice more and more of low-level mechanics underlying such relationships and my fear of women is slowly subsiding.
