> Email service? Have you used the current version? I still have mine which has become a spam address I use now. The few times a month I go in and clean it out, it's practically unusable. It's clunky, it's terribly slow, and often times just randomly logs me out.

I'm a heavy user of their email service. Have been for years. Even paid for it for a while. It's not as snappy as gmail (which I use for work) but I find it very usable. The mobile app has improved markedly over the last six months.

I agree that their search engine is ... suboptimal. If you are looking for news or a common website ("where's that bank located?") it's fine, but for most of the searches I use for work, Google beats the pants off of them. However, if stackoverflow is in the yahoo results, it's usually the right answer.

Anyway, not an apologist, just a happy user of yahoo mail.
Good idea. At the time I had no idea CloudFlare existed.

There are hundreds of strategies in hedgefunds from HFT to Macro to volatility trading to commercial ground rents to God Knows What™ - so I'd really like to see what was being done for this kind of analysis (and who by and what data they had access to).

Past performance is a lot like the false positive problem in medical testing. A 99% correct test on a condition affecting 1% of the population is not useful. Similarly looking at past performance for a hedge fund is a poor way of identifying those with "alpha" (if you believe true alpha exists at all, which is entirely dependent on your point of view).

Take Mr Buffet as a spurious example. If he leaves the fund, it won't affect past performance for some time. So do you want to buy into B-H without him - just because it used to make money? Or would you go into his new fund because you think he has a process that works.
His required take of the remaining delegates has increased after several of those primaries/caucuses.

So he has won the supposed coin flips that the media talks about and lost ground when you analyze the delegate counts.
Sure. I think it's more prevalent among Go zealots, probably because so many were lured into it by the inital hype, but it's not at all Go-specific. Another example is the hype and love-hate relationship people have with Javascript MVC frameworks. Even with React, which actually deserve the hype, there are many who default to "hating" it because they're sick of being fooled by all the hype.
The more interesting story here is that it somehow hasn't completely died yet.

Is this really the most interesting thing in the Panama Papers touching the Clintons?

If I'm reading this right, there's a well-known group of lobbyists/Washington insiders (the Podestra brothers) with ties to the Clintons and Obama, and the new revelation is that the lobbying firm is also retained by Russia's biggest bank? (As opposed to, being retained by the US's biggest bank?)

Does anyone else find that weak-sauce?
Absolutely. I'll reach out. Thanks!
I was talking about this with a friend last night. Think of all the scandals the Clintons have endured - from Whitewater to Travelgate to Lewinsky to Benghazi...and yet nothing has impeded them. That either means they are in fact predominantly innocent (I think we can rule this out, mostly...) or that they are just such masters of politic and influence that they are able to fend off any investigations into them. Seriously, Clinton lied about cheating on his wife on national television and yet people still love him. They are a very intriguing couple. I eagerly await a Caro-esque look at their role in US history.

Invasion of the US would be a lot more difficult than you make it out to be. A large portion of the US is surrounded by water, so Russian and China would have to overcome the two largest navies in the world (the US Navy and the US Air Force) in order to even set foot on land if they were to come that route. Of course the other option is to come over the top through Canada. But then you have to defeat the largest Air Force in the world: the US has 2x more aircraft than Russia and China combined.

I'm Canadian so I'm not a patriot of the US by any measure, but I think it'd at least be a pretty fair fight.

Russia and China understand their losses would be devastating, so I doubt they'd wage that war. Not to mention they'd likely be waging a two-front war with Korea and Japan as US allies.
I'm an American. The use of "table" in colloquialisms while participating in meetings has many different distinctions/meanings.

"let's put it all on the table" - I would like for you and I to be completely honest with each other, even if I don't like what you are about to say.

"let's table that" - I would like for you to remember what you wanted to say, but please don't say it now. Also, talk to me later in a separate discussion if what you wanted to say is still relevant.

"it's off the table" - That particular item/thought is no longer relevant to the discussion, please ignore it.

"clear the table" - Please get ready to discuss something entirely new of a higher priority. Or, I would like to start the same discussion over, but this time I have a better understanding of what I would like to communicate.

You are predicting the future (of Go) based on the past (of Java).

Non-idiomatic Go (or as you call it "bizarre hacks disguised as cleverness") is frowned upon. One example that comes to mind is the Martini web framework[1], which, once pointed out, resulted in a rewrite[2].

Wow! Thank you very much I never thought of looking for an extension. For a very short time I found that feature in my search results directly. Then it just went away.
Why is this crap being upvoted?
Devops and QA are more alive than ever. The article actually makes that point. It is just that the boundaries between the disciplines are being blurred consequent to the erosion of distinctions between hardware and software, testing and deployment.

It would be more precise to say that the era of the code illiterate sysadmin or QA engineer is coming to an end. So is the era of the developer who didn't understand the basics of operating systems and networking.
Apart from this, i have given up on Forbes because they keep almost all content in multiple pages with no option to load in a single page(at least on mobile).
I didn't say it was. I thought that was implied when I said I hated ads. But the language of holding your own writings "hostage" because you don't want to give them up without some kind of compensation is just absurd.

I wish Forbes just was honest and went full paywall. I wish everyone did this.
I'm trying to work out why retaliation with porn / tragedy propaganda is even vaguely acceptable.

HN would typically be aghast if you served NSFW content potentially to unexpecting audiences (..think of the children!), or even with the real life analog of becoming vigilante on someone who wronged you.

There seems to be the underlying notion that: because it's China, any riposte is acceptable.
Again, HN would typically be aghast if you drew sweeping stereotypes over 1B+ people.

There are multiple solutions.

But you are still sitting on the same network as everyone else correct? That doesn't sound like a vpc.

This is a case of the wrong tool/service for the job. You need advanced networking and spent all this time duct taping it together on DO when you could have a real VPC on aws with security groups, subnetting etc. Not to mention locked in to DO's limited instance types.

Don't get me wrong, DO fills a niche for quick one-off type applications but it is absolutely no substitute for a real IAAS like aws, gcp, azure... Investing time in trying to turn it in to one is a waste and way worse than perceived "lock-in".

You also could have just as easily rolled your own setup the same way on AWS, so i'm not sure what argument is other than cost. (btw t2.nano instances are $4.75 a month) http://www.ec2instances.info/?cost=monthly
A company I founded, Publir, is working on a new model here -- well behaved ads for anonymous users, microsubscriptions via Stripe to eliminate ads client-side for devoted readers.

Turns out that eliminating ads in the client upon payment is actually quite difficult to do with good hygeine; ad networks are very sensitive to "fraud." Now that we have a good solution, we're pretty excited about it.
Don't understand why Yahoo is in such free fall. It is easy a top 10 website. Ads on the site probably sell for millions. Their content / engineers/tech can't be that expensive. What are they spending all that cash on.

Has binary code analysis dramatically progressed or something? This argument has appeared throughout this discussion, yet I know of approximately zero cases (validation/comfort through disassembly) of this happen. Binary code is of course analyzed for faults to exploit, but that's a very different pursuit.

EDIT: To answer my own question, no of course it hasn't progressed. This notion that security products are vetted by analyzing the binary code is absurd. No one can point to a single example of it happening, or ever having happened, yet here it's use to excuse a product.
It can. Is it efficient? No. This is so obvious that I'll have to attribute your opinion to lack of experience. Try deploying a stack with a dozen different services, designed with fault tolerance and horizontal scalability in mind, where each service is clustered, without a configuration manager. Then, review your opinion.
Chinese customs are very proactive on brand defence.
You simply need to have your trademark registered with them.

I use same tools (package manager, services, scripts) for about decade. Tried to use Puppet and Ansible, but result is much more complex and it feels like I reinventing the wheel, because I need to implement things which I already have implemented in package manager, like validation, upgrade management, etc.

Difference between Ansible and package manager feels like difference between procedural programming and OOP.

Difference between Puppet and package manager feels like fight between two competing object oriented models.
There needs to be a user-side ad validation layer, something that displays any ad that meets industry security, load time, and tracking standards.
I looked into heka a while back and was turned off by its seeming reliance on lua scripts for almost every feature. It just seemed overcomplicated to deploy and maintain for a Go app as a result, and I didn't understand why all that functionality didn't come built in.

Is this unfair? Perhaps I misunderstood the docs.

I think these sort of measures could be built into the algorithms behind the management of the currency. The entire infrastructure could be run by bots. Cyber security will need to be tight, though probably not initially.

As I understand it, this is about social justice, ie, leveling the playing field. Post-transition for GD would mean that all accounts are activated to receive basic income, and they would do so on an equal basis. Initially, the currency is seeded in communities that need BI the most, and then becomes contagious to the world at large.

Ultimately, the system also prevents hoarding of currency and incentivizes exchanges.

They wouldn't have to do the back ground checks. The Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) they ship it to would take care of doing that.

It depends on where you're working. There are alot of companies that have "enterprisy" size systems that haven't moved into that style of development yet. Of course, that usually means working with alot of legacy code as well.

M: Yes, that's me.
C: Oh, good. Yesterday, I bought a banana here.
When I got it home, I discovered there was a bomb in it.
M: I'm only the produce manager. I don't deal with bombs.
C: But the bomb was *in* the banana.
M: How was it?
C: How was what?
M: The banana. Not bruised or overripe or anything?
C: No, the banana was fine. It was a perfectly normal banana.
...with a bomb in it.
M: Ah, good. Another satisfied customer.
C: I am *not* satisfied! I could have been killed!
M: Were you?
C: Obviously not!
M: So what's the problem?
C: There was a bomb in my banana!
M: Well, we just sell the bananas as we get them, from the banana-modifying company.

speaking of hosts file, here is a pretty good one [0]. albeit it may block more than just ads however I find its nothing I want to see anyway.

[0] http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
Google is largely responsible for the situation we're now in. As the largest provider of ads on the web, they regularly turn a blind eye to malware advertising served by their network.

They simply do not take malware seriously. They continually let it exist on their ad network. As a publisher that uses Adsense I find this extremely frustrating. As example: I've spent quite a bit of time attempting to block ads that lead to the "ask.com toolbar." These are always deceptive. They confuse my visitors and then I hear about it.

Additionally ads where the only text is "Download Now" or "Read Your Private Messages" are clearly deceptive. And yet they're allowed.

There are so many easy ways Google could improve the situation. And yet, they don't. This is a serious problem, and it is only going to get worse until Google responds appropriately.

I like NFSN's approach, and they're cheap enough for small sites, but their hosting is incredibly expensive at any kind of scale. ($0.25/GB traffic, $1.00/GB/mo storage, plus various other miscellaneous fees.)
I've tried some stuff like that but I still accidentally click the links and then get angry for a few minutes afterwards. Maybe I should work on my anger issues instead but that'll take years, if I get the extension working the way I want I expect scanning the front pages of HN and Reddit will take significantly less time and each decorated link will give me a little sense of triumph.
When I was a child, people would say this kind of thing about the Soviet Union, and later it became the Japanese, the Mexicans, then the Chinese, and now I guess it's wrapped back around to Moscow.
Yeah, there's plenty of sneaky ways to host for dirt cheap. OVH, DigitalOcean and CloudFlare have really worked wonders for me. The hosting isn't usually the expense here though - it's reporters, photographers, etc. How do you pay that many people's salaries?

Answer is probably that you don't - these companies will probably fail and other companies that can get away with cheap hosting and staffing will hack together comparable things using amateurish content.

I'm fine with it. I just want them to die already so that alternatives will spring up more readily.
That’s what they said about Twitter, too.

No, what they are really looking is for an ops person that has to sit in a dev team and do the part no one likes to do. s/He will be lucky if s/he can actually spend 10% of his time producing application code.

So? What's the problem with this? DevOps generally means someone who uses developer like approaches (e.g. scripting, automation, developing one-off solutions, etc) to solve operational issues. It is a role, and someone has to do it, and I would argue that there are people who love to do this role.

But if someone sought a job in DevOps thinking they'd be producing application code, they only fooled themselves. If someone sees some sort of status issue and forever tries to fight against their role, well that's just detrimental to everyone.

The key is to focus on the services that you can add value to over and above what the AWS managed services offer. There's no reason to futz around with building and maintaining a load-balancer infrastructure if Amazon's ELB does everything you need (unlikely, I will admit). AWS and other cloud services just provide an additional set of tools that may or may not be useful.

I use it. Blue/Green deployments is one of main reasons to use package managers, because with package manager I can prove that two deployments are identical, including configuration files, which are also deployed using package manager. It was primary reason why we switched from configuration scripts to packages for provisioning and configuration.
You shouldn't consider Jet.com not collecting sales tax as a "good thing" since you are technically required to pay it by law (in most places, normally, afaik, IANAL)
