It's interesting the article doesn't come right out and say this is the correction the market indicators have been hinting at for a while. It's all there in black and white:

“Volatility has bred more practical thinking, especially on the shareholders’ side,” said Atish Davda, the chief executive of EquityZen, a marketplace for pre-I.P.O. companies.

Only a third of the tech companies that went public last year are in the green today, meaning that many initial offering investors are already feeling some pain in their portfolios and are unwilling to take on new risk.

It's not that there's no companies who want to go public, it's the investors who want to see solid revenue, more liquidity, and better business plans before letting these companies risk their money.

Anything not stored on the system of record cannot be counted on to exist at any point in the future.

From a strategic standpoint, thinking of that data as anything other than 'destroyed' would be a grave error of judgement. From a retention standpoint the difference between 'could' and 'did' is profound.

Fair point. However I don't think there's anything preventing Chevy from dropping the Bolt MSRP in late 2017 or 2018 to be more price competitive. By then it will have been out for more than a year.

The only thing I liked about Quip was the conversation about the doc alongside the doc. Otherwise it was kind of a not-great Google docs, a not-great Dropbox and a not-great Slack wrapped into one.

That said, this was a year ago, maybe it's better now?
Everyone is a bit of a stretch -- the OP might have been a bit insulting; but he has a point.. hacker news can be somewhat of an echo chamber, and I think people assume Git is (or should be) a lot more widespread than it actually is. A lot of large companies still use perforce for large repository support, a lot of people still use subversion because it's simpler and they don't need a DVCS, etc. Having been the "git guy" at a lot of places, I can definitely tell you that you can't just hand-wave away its usability problems, it definitely has a cost on peoples' time that other systems don't. (I rarely have to answer other peoples questions about P4, for instance)
Obama just couldn't wait until Schneier actually posted the 9th annual contest. Still, it's a strong entry!
I agree - put another way, bad-but-hyped companies are hiding in the private markets, because they can maintain a high-valuation with a strong PPT and unaudited financials vs. going public getting punished by the market for weak (maybe terrible) GAAP financials.

but, like you said - we just don't know, and it appears they don't want us to know. and that makes me think: in general if someone is keeping something from the public, what are the chances its good vs. bad? I'd say it skews to the latter =)

Sometimes, it's justifiable if the company really needs a private period to invest deeply in something the public markets may not understand, but I'd say mostly it's not - the ongoing markdowns by traditional investors is at least one indicator.
On top of that, the conference is now being sponsored by a fascist group ("Status 451").
Annoying: you can't turn off both. If your project has a workflow where the webui merge should not be used (e.g. using signed merges) there is still no way to achieve that.

I actually locked myself out except for console access, so some of this is from memory/Googling:

1. Connect Raspberry Pi to local LAN and get wifi setup (I VLAN wireless traffic, so I have it listening/connected to both)

2. Change iptables default policy to DROP

3. Add relevant ALLOW rules to make sure basic stuff like DHCP still works. I added an allow rule to talk to another machine that runs a PHP script that talks to Twilio

4. Spend about a week adding custom DROP rules for any normal broadcast traffic on your network (Bonjour, random auto-discovery stuff, etc)

5. If you have properly excluded everything "normal" you should be able to run "iptables -vL" about 24 hours apart and the packet count next to the INPUT chain policy will not have incremented (remember we have a default of DENY)

6. Add a final rule of 'iptables -A INPUT -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "ZOMG: " --log-level 4'

7. Write a bash script to monitor syslog, parse the log, forward to the before-mentioned script on another host
It's inherently deceptive. Instead of thinking through problems to produce their solutions in an ordered, clear fashion, they make a big spaghetti mess, and then hide the sausage-making in a squashed commit that throws away work that may in fact, be very useful later on, all to present the illusion that they arrived at the visible conclusion without misstep.

That's deceptive, wasteful, and has more to do with ego or shallow ideas about "cleanliness" than it does with usefully recording our work processes.
Europe made a decision to move away from that history to something more like the US. Swedes and French don't have children, and they are importing Syrians and Africans who do.

It's a similar scenario to what happened with the old Dutch and English people in 1860 Manhattan. The new masses of Irish and Jews drove many to leave.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the future will be very different.
Eh. No thanks. "Default deny" is the only sane security default.
A respectable CDN should be able to handle lots of GET requests, even if by attack. As others have pointed out, the Tor network can't support much traffic, so DDoS by GET requests does not seem like a big concern.

This was a mistake on my part, I got this from the Perl 6 wikipedia page. It linked to

http://rakudo.org/2015/11/28/announce-rakudo-star-release-20...

which describes a beta release. It should probably have the date of 2016-02-03 and link to

http://rakudo.org/2016/02/03/announce-rakudo-star-release-20...

which describes that release as "a useful and usable production distribution of Perl 6."

Your response seems like an unnecessary escalation. I thought the post you're responding to was reasonable.
I'm not a big fan of clean history for the reasons you state. However, there is at least one big benefit of a clean history in the master branch: any commit can be checked out and assumed to have working code. This means you can use git bisect. Git bisect allows you to programmatically search through your commit history to identify when a certain behavioral change happened. If you have commits like "wip, not sure why the app wont start yet" in your master's history, you cannot leverage tooling like bisect. Let the sausage be created at the branch level, and keep master clean </0.02>.
As someone who has spent a lot of time tracking down the origin of source code changes -- and the reasons for them, and the implications of the change -- by reviewing commit logs, I can think of little worse, short of no commit history at all, than trying to derive anything remotely useful from a commit history that has been condensed down to a product change log.

Even commits that lack good commit messages provide valuable information in the form of insight into the author's cumulative thinking/process.

Interesting to see how these doomsday scenarios change over time.

I remember in the early aughts, after the fall of Russia, there were rampant rumors terrorists had figured out how to build a small nuke in a suitcase and then could detonate it in Manhattan or Chicago. They would acquire the necessary plutonium from shady Russian arms dealers. There were reports of how much radioactive material was completely missing and of course, there was a good chance it was already in the hands of the bad guys.

Now you have people spooking us by saying arms dealers on the "dark web" are going to traffic in weapons grade plutonium, and terrorists will acquire enough to build a small nuke and deliver via drone.

Same scenario, different delivery methods to take into account the new boogeyman, the "dark web" and the shady people who do business on it.

I see that http://perl6.org/compilers/features shows no implementation of the language is complete yet. However http://rakudo.org/2016/02/03/announce-rakudo-star-release-20... does describe itself as a "a useful and usable production distribution of Perl 6." I believe that's the first release they've described as ready for production.

Assuming the latest numbers from TC are correct, they're at annual reoccurring revenues of somewhere between from 70M-140M (depending on average per seat revenue). In the past 12 months they've gone from 100,000+ paid seats to over 800,000+ paid seats. The investors are valuing (and expecting) future growth.

For comparison: Atlassian is estimating $440+ revenue for their fiscal year, and has a market cap of $5.5B.
>> 2. In addition to better docs, can you setup something that lets site operators view the site as a Tor user?
>
> That seems like an enormous amount of work when anyone can just get the Tor Browser and test it out.

Sure, but most site operators aren't going to get the Tor browser to test it out -- especially if they don't realize that that is something they should do.

By "view site as Tor user" I simply meant having a way for site operators to interact with the captcha page that CloudFlare presents users. That should be easy to setup; it can even be just a static HTML page that's linked from the documentation on Tor. I didn't mean that you should display the page through Tor.
It depends of your age. Around your twenties you can play with double working while your mental health tolerate it. This is a choice. Personally I feel alienated if I focus on an idea without genuine income, so having a side project gives me the opportunity to receive real income in the meanwhile.
> "it should never be destructive"

it's particularly important to account for psychological or social destructiveness.

Rickrolling someone can be funny. Pretending that you're pregnant and then saying "April Fools" later in the day can be psychologically harmful to those who struggle with infertility or who have lost a child. Replacing someone's PC startup sound with flatulence can be hilarious. Posting a fake, mean story about someone else can prompt others to pile on thinking that you're serious, and damage a relationship. Rendering all webpages in Comic Sans is worth a chuckle. Nuking someone's e-mail conversation can cost people their jobs, or at the very least can result in important (business-critical or even life-critical) information getting lost in the shuffle.

This joke could have been funny, if it had been carefully tailored to be non-dangerous and non-destructive. It wasn't.

Without seeing their financials I'm not sure if I am qualified to explain their valuation.

That said, if I had the money and was invited to participate in this round I would have. More so than any other software I have seen, Slack has organic buy-in from everybody outside I.T. Once introduced is spreads like wildfire throughout any company I have heard about. Unlike much (most) software introduced to them Slack has an easy to see value for them, has almost no setup barriers, and is usable with little to no training.

All of the objections in this discussion are from an I.T. perspective ("you can just use self-hosted IRC for free") or a compliance perspective (having worked many years in the financial services industry I understand that there are compliance requirements but those are always written by lawyers and often their understanding of the security tradeoffs between self-hosted, with company employed security professionals, and the cloud, with vendor employed security professionals, are dubious at best).

I sometimes feel that programmers would write Excel from scratch in order to add two plus two.
Anybody else watched the video and thought they were dancing? It occurred to me but then I dismissed it because it seemed so disingenuous to use that as an example of the footage being unclear.
Many of us believe there's no such thing as a throw-away "WIP" commit, and if there is, the work should be better broken up and managed by the developer so that they're committing fully considered incremental progress.

The easiest time to catch a bug is when it's hiding in a 10 line diff, especially before you commit it.

It gets progressively more difficult as the scope of the changeset grows.
My takeaway would've been; use some sort of protection, like NoScript, uBlock, etc. The choice of web-browser engine seems less important when you globally allow javascript or other similar capabilities.
It seems to me that the scope of this article is pretty narrow (in a good let's avoid a flame war way). And it describes one of the few scenarios where I think squashes are beneficial.

But then the conclusion doesn't quite add up. if I want to remove all the merge mess from a PR don't I actually want to rebase the PR, not merely squash the history? Or dos I miss the point he was making?
In the last ten years especially, I've noticed that commercially grown tomatoes look perfect but have absolutely no flavor.
Several of my smartest and most ambitious friends have emigrated from London to Aus and Japan. Destinations that have sensible immigration policies, and which have maintained their cultural integrity.

A country is not a country without borders. When I emigrate I will choose a country based on its singular culture, and crucially, how well it maintains that culture. Why would I choose a country that's right for me now but risks changing in the future when I have kids there?

Multi-ethnicity in London is great. Multiculturalism in London is a sickness. No one chooses to move here for "London's culture," because it doesn't have an identifiable culture. So people come here expecting to maintain their own culture in a bubble instead, resulting in ghettos, self-segregation and rising tension.
You imply that making your [grand]children wealthy is something really beneficial for them.

It is not.

The same way as winning big in lottery usually leads to misery, the same way huge inheritances do not really make people happy.

It is better for your descendants to earn their wealth themselves (whatever that wealth would be).
The problem with micropayments in this context is that flattr lacks the impulse nature that bitcoin can possibly provide. You have to load the money in an account beforehand, but with bitcoin you could potentially just donate directly from a hot wallet on your computer. Pre-loading accounts that are designed specifically for donations feels unnatural, I think.
If Google acquires Jetbrains, Kotlin winds up being a first class Android citizen, I think.

I can "experientially" state that squash throws away very necessary information for anyone trying to make sense of old code.
EXD: An attack surface for Microsoft Office
The Bitcoin is being used with a zero knowledge proof system so that Brave will not know what websites you visited.

I think they are hoping to be different than flattr in that they are a browser and so might have a more comprehensive experience than a website widget. Also, websites will get their ads blocked regardless of whether or not they have signed up for any service with Brave. I suppose the hope is that people feel guilty enough about blocking ads to pay a flat rate to have the sites they visit compensated.
I'm pretty sure it's a joke.
