Minor correction: I am a partner in the contracting firm. The contract was cancelled by Pillar as a 1099. I'm still a partner in the contracting firm but will be leaving in a couple of weeks when we shut it down for obvious reasons.
I haven't worked at the scale where dynamically scaling the load balancers themselves is the bottleneck. I think you pose an interesting question, and I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can comment on that.
I recently learned of this via a MOOC, and oh man has it been helping me. 25m chunks of work are much easier to push myself through, and the 5m breaks really give me a sense of freedom.

The length of the day also doesn't seem to weigh on me - i just focus on being completely on task for 25m chunks at a time, and the day flies by. No more `compile; open reddit.com`

edit: Typed from a 5m break, of course ;)
What kind of equity to ask to avoid future dilution?
I am about to be presented a "partnership" offer from startup.
I own certain IP that presents competitive advantage to this startup compare to other competitors in their field.

So essentially I want to get percentage of company ownership in exchange of my IP.

1. What kind of equity to ask in exchange of my IP to secure fixed percentage of ownership?
Class A shares? Fully vested options?

2. How to avoid typical tricks (share dilution, board cancelling options, etc...) to secure this?

3. How to minimize immediate tax hit for this?
As an aside: I'm in the OpenWRT camp right now, and minimizing my exposure to large companies, but I find this constant drum beat about "Google shutting products down" to be tiring. It also derails from the topic at hand.

I think it's great what they're doing with OnHub, and hope we can have iOS/Android apps for managing OpenWRT installs too. I wouldn't personally recommend buying one unless you can at least install ddWRT, but I haven't even bothered to learn what CPU they are using.

If you read how the two Belgian plants 'operated' (my impression: shut down, repairs, restart, discover a small problem a few days later shut down, repeat) the last few years, it surely makes you wonder. Wikipedia doesn't give much confidence, either.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tihange_Nuclear_Power_Statio...: "Since 2006 there has been a leak of 0.5-2 liters per day of mildly radioactive water from a deactivation-bath. After this was notified to the Belgium Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) (nl) Electrabel tried to find the cause of the leak. But on 11 July 2012 it became apparent that the leakage still exists. According to FANC this issue is "under control" and no radioactivity leaks outside the building"

I know a nuclear reactor is all kinds of piping with hot sometime extremely reactive stuff flowing through it, so leaks are almost avoidable, but that text makes it look as if they cannot even find the cause (or worse: do not want to find it because they would have to spend money to repair it then) and use "but it is only inside the building" as an excuse. For me, that sounds as if there is a permanent problem with one of the defense rings.
That's just what the world needs. More bikeshedding about "offensive JavaScript".

Offensive JS includes:

"It makes an AJAX request or is loaded along with scripts that make an AJAX request" and "Calling methods with the square bracket notation" and "Using any other construct than a string literal with certain methods (Obj.write, Obj.createElement, …)."

If it includes something like the above (which 99% of HTML frameworks do) and it doesn't have a free license statement, should people really complain about it?

Like, fine. Sure. You don't want to run non-free JS. Okay. But there's no reason to waste someone's time complaining about it, either.

How is anyone supposed to take this seriously?
The biggest missed opportunity of ECS that AWS missed was completely hiding the complexity and concerns of managing EC2 instances. If you use ECS you have to deal with the complexity of both and manage those resources. The dream being sold by the container industry is that you don't really care about the machines you're containers are running on. ElasticBeanstalk gets this right because they hide that concern.

ECS is akin to selling git on top of SVN. It doesn't really make sense.

Bryan Cantrill gave a talk about the craziness of running containers on VMs at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coFIEH3vXPw.

I didn't set out to change my diet or even diet+excercise. I set out to excercise alone. I changed my diet long before that, but it didn't lead me to excecise and it I wasn't able to do it long enough for it to be ingrained. So my advice would be to excercise even if without a diet change because you are more likely find your diet change as a byproduct and actually be able to sustain it.

Nim, Rust, Erlang/Elixer, Shen, and Haskell are my picks.

A game I used to play with myself on the highway was to simply try and use my brakes as little as possible - when you see brake lights ahead it's instinctual to also brake yourself, but often if you have a long enough follow distance you can just lift off the gas.

Brake lights being a binary representation of an analogue pedal is another problem, although iirc on some newer cars the lights are brighter/more lights go on the harder you brake
Actually it's easier to manage speed and spacing in congestion with a gently curving stretch of road - cars further up are visible so you can anticipate better and slow down earlier/more gradually, reducing jerk. This way too, you won't seem slow to the people behind you. It's not so much going super slow as it is being able to correctly guess the average speed of the road and acting as a damper. This is basically what the article describes btw.

I also like to try and impose a rule of not touching the brakes unless absolutely necessary, and using 20% throttle input at most, that helps with the whole dampening thing.

One last caveat: these techniques only really work for freeways/highways in the developed world. The tragedy of the commons phenomenon is on a whole nother level in places like India or China (se asia in general) or a lot of Latin America or even sixth avenue.
Maybe this is better left as a comment SO, but we have been unable to any recent version of Android Studio for our development team for the past four months because we use a mapFragment in our app. It's a known error [0] in the Maps API v2. I understand the complexity Google is facing, but I can't imagine Apple not addressing such a fundamental UI capability in their dev tools. Frustrating.

Less effect is what i have a problem with. Dieting requires less effort. Cutting portion sizes is much easier than changing your schedule to accommodate a workout.
Every time people try to say we can eliminate traffic if we just leave space in between cars, I think of this great article: http://jliszka.github.io/2013/10/01/how-traffic-actually-wor...

TL;DR there is an effective maximum number of cars that can pass through a given point of roadway (about 1 car per 2 seconds per lane). No amount of space-leaving is going to chance that.
Is there anything out there that is already perfect and should not be improved?
That's definitely correct.

One related unsolved problem in that type of research is getting people to share their actual code. Especially when multiple universities are at the bleeding edge in a field, they often publish just enough [1] to prove their point without giving everyone else the same foundation to build on easily. Even in science it gets political... who knew.

1: i.e., just their algorithms, or their code without very useful implementation-level optimizations
That really isn't the case in high traffic areas: http://jliszka.github.io/2013/10/01/how-traffic-actually-wor...
Windows Hyper-V Containers are available on the Windows 10 Client, through the insiders program. This is intended for development scenarios. You can run your Windows Containers locally, building up your app/service, then deploying on servers running the Container feature. We're still early in the Windows container development efforts. http://aka.ms/DockerToolsForVS. The experience built for Linux containers will support Nano Server as well. In the current Windows insiders program, you can run Nano Server based containers locally, which you can develop .NET core apps against.

Also note that that is "over a five year service life". So, they do not guarantee the helium to be still there after that. Given the nature of this stuff, it likely will slowly escape, but I guess professionals using these will want to retire them fairly soon afterwards.
In the universe, certainly. Look at this [1] and you'll find that helium is an exceedingly small percentage of the Earth. Helium has an amazing ability escape containers over time due to it's almost completely non-reactive state. Once airborne, it readily escapes to space. We get it primarily because of the decay of radioactives [2] that get caught in pockets. It's not a renewable resource. Worse, it's not a recyclable/reclaimable once lost. It's a big deal and we should be conserving it heavily.

All due respect, as you don't represent your employer, but a LAN-facing router that is automatically updated by a PRISM partner is an immediate no for those concerned about surveillance (dragnet or targeted) inside the home.

I put forth a response below to a similar point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11598409

In a traffic jam, wouldn't the alternative to leaving plenty of space be constantly starting and stopping? That seems pretty like a lot of work for the driver in a big rig.
See above for Windows Container support (Nano Server) in the current insiders program. However, also note, this is very early, and the experience is a little rough as we stitch together all the moving parts that are coming together for what we believe will be a great local development experience of containerized apps, targeting Linux and Windows workloads.

cloudflare's "flexible ssl" option encrypts the connection between their datacenter and the user, but not the one between the datacenter and the actual web server

i guess it's better than nothing if your host doesn't support ssl but the false sense of security could be harmful
I used to work in the IT department of a steel mill. A racoon once got into a power transformer station behind the mill and managed to ground something that shouldn't have been grounded. The mill was down for 12 hours as a result. It was both extremely annoying and highly entertaining.
FWIW, there was something about the way that comment was phrased that caused me to parse it badly, hence my response. I didn't downvote you, but perhaps it might help to explain the downvotes.

Incidentally, this is why I often dislike downvotes by those who don't comment directly on non-troll comments. It doesn't add a damned thing to sensible discourse, it just smacks of punitive actions against those they disagree with. You really notice it on certain topics, like Aaron - but for some reason it really occurs in anything Apple related.
I really enjoy your belief that you're somehow not always looking at an infinite abyss :P
The mobile app connects to the router directly not thru Google' cloud service.

The only thing that probably relies on Google's service is their "Send Feedback" feature.

Why would you put this in a business? I suppose the same argument holds for space stations prisons but we haven't brought that up.

The lack of remote updates for any router probably also means that it has a back door. There's a pretty extensive list of home router vulns out there already.

I think you need to read the update #2 in the page you linked, of course you can't create capacity out of nowhere, but if you are in a "phantom jam" situation it does help to "smooth things out" as the page clarifies (which I think is what this article is about)
I felt this way too, but often I ended up eating bad food because after a while I didn't value exercises as much (went back into a OK zone).

Also, told this already, massive health failure forced me out of sugar coated, processed food and beverage. Our life styles is way too easy onto eating to satisfy our tongues and not our body. When stuck in this corner, eating raw veggies, you'll start to notice a lot of enjoyable tastes, and drop in fat aftertaste and overall a realization that how much sugar 'drugs' your brain. It's very hard to not want to take a big bite of cake or chocolate, hamburger etc etc, and inside the comfy zone of our culture, if your health allows it, you'll never have a way to sense that.

Good thing they're bringing SEVEN different 8600-ton trains up 4000 feet then.

I wonder if we'd have as much stop and go traffic if every car on the road was standard.

I drive like this just to avoid using the clutch. I'll basically crawl at the average speed in 2nd gear, until traffic speeds up.

I suspect truckers may be doing it for the same reason, and their gear ratios mean they would have even more gears to cycle through.

Stop and go would be a huge pain for them if they have to come to a full stop.
If slow ads were a problem, why are ad networks so damn slow? I frequently see ads taking 10–20 seconds to load on major news sites. Serving fast ads would mean more viewing time, yet that doesn't seem to be a priority for anyone.

The management app is a pretty neat way to set up a router - it certainly beats futzing around with a shitty HTML UI.

Other than that I've found it useful for testing WiFi signal strength - in old brick buildings you can get unintuitive dead spots, and the app lets you put your phone somewhere and test signal quality.

Proponents of cryonics completely misunderstand natural selection, and frankly suffer from narcissism. If it were advantageous for organisms to live forever, they would. Without any type of genetic recombination, undying things will not outcompete dying things, period. I hate to break it to anyone, but you're not the perfect human and we do not live in a world of unlimited free energy. The only world in which "you" could live forever is a world where identity itself doesn't exist.

This basic misconception is just the tip of an iceberg of delusional thinking. Disease would have to already be conquered. There would be no economic incentive for reanimation, etc. etc.

History's greatest cultures focused on what they could achieve, not longevity. Remarkable people often die young, and there's more to that than coincidence. This vapid quest to live forever is part of the banality of our time.
So, at the risk of sounding hostile, the article notes the following:

Eight months later, the OnHub still doesn't support IPv6, and the USB port still can't be used for network storage. Bluetooth, Thread, and Weave support are all still dormant.

IFTTT support is great, but shouldn't the priority for a $200 router be in delivering features that were promised from the get-go?
Compassion comes from the person, not the station. I've seen it come from all sorts of surprising places - but it's rare enough to be worth treasuring, no matter where it comes from.
In ML, you can generally email the authors and very often they will be willing to send you (their really crappy) code. Although it probably helped that I sent these emails from my academic email address.
I wonder if the problem isn't so much that we're still asking people to code on the whiteboard as it is that we're simply asking people to code things on the whiteboard which are too complicated. I remember a few years ago when FizzBuzz was all the rage, and a lot of people believed it was a useful question to ask, since it filtered out people who apparently couldn't code at all.

Of course FizzBuzz can't discriminate the merely competent from the truly brilliant, but there's probably no 45 minute whiteboard exercise which can, and I think there's wide agreement that should not be the purpose of whiteboarding exercises, anyway.
Asides the core debate, it makes browsing way slower than I'd expect for an extension of this kind.

I find the part about taking breaks actually increasing productivity interesting.

Years and years ago, I worked as a blackjack dealer. We had 20 minute breaks every hour. It seemed ludicrous to me at first, but the job has essentially two main components - solving a lot of very simple math problems quickly and without errors, and customer service. By keeping all of the dealers fresh, the casino was able to ensure that problems were minimized. Adding cards up to 21 isn't exactly mental gymnastics, but do that at a rate of up to 280 times in an hour and it's actually kind of surprising that more mistakes aren't made.

I've often wondered about how that kind of schedule would play in software development. I find that my own code is better when well rested, but even after all these years I've never been able to force myself to take breaks that frequently.

The side effect of frequent and scheduled breaks was social interaction that was usually work-focused.
