`diffy` is a reverse proxy which multiplex requests to multiple endpoints, compare differences and detect regressions between responses.

`gor` is about interception your production traffic (it is not a proxy, more like a network analyzer), continuously, and replaying it on demand to your test environments (you can modify and filter this traffic using various ways).

Hope it helps.

> There's a lot to parse in that statement, but the call for whistleblower protections seems to be the single most important (and achievable) item. Most people are aware of Snowden and Manning

One big difference between Snowden and the Panama Papers (and, to a degree, Manning) is that virtually all of what Snowden revealed is illegal action on the part of the government[0], or information directly tied to that (allegedly-)illegal behavior. With the Panama Papers, some of the information leaked is indeed evidence of actual crimes, but most of it is actually not[1]. One can make the argument that some of the behavior should be, but that's a far less compelling case for whistleblower protection than the evidence of actual crimes taken place under the law as it exists today.

While I do believe that Manning deserved whistleblower protection, her case was similarly harmed (both legally and in the public's perception) by the fact that the signal-to-noise ratio in the documents she provided was very low. It's a lot harder to convince the public that you were acting as a whistleblower if large parts of the data you're leaking isn't blowing the whistle on anything, even if some of it is.

[0] The government disagrees with the claim that it is illegal, but that is the premise of the leak.

Love the idea. For those who aren't as Lambda savvy you might want to provide some "real world" information on pricing. Ex: This code takes roughly 500ms to run, which means you should expect to pay $0.10 per 96,000 comments on your blog.

I know it's stupidly small costs (Lambda is wonderful for that), but some people still don't understand how to translate the pricing structure to "the real world".

Both simply appealed to the public as an experiment and learned that a large swath of the public feels it has no power and finds it empowering, now that they finally have their hands on the steering wheel, to flip the car rather than drive it. Children who haven't been given much autonomy will often have the same mentality: when finally given power they will be destructive because it's a better test of the reality of the new-found power.

In a sense, I think you are right and perhaps my bias is showing. From the perspective of a judge or prosecutor, they followed a legal process and gave a legal order, so there is no violation of due process in their eyes.

Through the eyes of a person compelled to give testimony, we may reach a different conclusion. Consider a journalist who is granted immunity and asked to give up their source. They refuse and spend six months in jail, with few to no options to appeal for their freedom. This isn't theoretical. It happens occasionally.

The definition of due process can vary from the common definition of fair treatment under the law, to the view more often taken by lawyers and governments that it just means following the process of the law as accepted by the courts and respecting legal rights.

The reporter probably would feel as though they weren't treated fairly under the law, but the prosecutor would argue that they followed the law in full. I probably should not have used the phrase "without due process" in this case, since that will make it difficult to communicate with anyone holding views of the government or lawyers.

No, the world being created in accord with a literal reading of either of the two mutually conflicting creation stories in Genesis implies something pretty different than the big bang, but literalism as an essential doctrine is, within Christianity, restricted to a particular minority -- though one that is extremely politically active and very well represented in the US -- subset of Protestantism.

I’m an Invoiceable customer who ended up at Invoicely when they forced the migration upon us. Apart from the obvious issue with ripping off Hiveage (which I have commented on elsewhere), the way they handled the move was also horrendous.

There was no communication whatsoever about moving to a new system: I only got to know about the need to adopt this new tool when I tried to log in and was redirected to the new site. The data import process was buggy and I ended up with inaccurate reports.

I stumbled on Hiveage when I was looking for alternatives. What a surprise that was.

This is a great idea. I setup something similar for my brother's website contact form (host the site on S3 and then use lambda to shoot him an email when someone submits their data on the contact form). The costs for running his website are just a few cents a month (above the $0.50/month charge for hosting on Route 53).

For those who work in Python, there is a project called Zappa (https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa) that allows you to take an existing project in a framework such as Flask and "host" the whole thing with lambda. The project is still young, but I imagine this sort of thing could be very useful to people doing a hobby project that don't want to pay for full-time hosting, but want their site to be available full-time. Hopefully, we get to a point soon where this sort of framework is ready for production use, though I don't know that it's there yet.

You argument that miners will always want small block sizes is flawed. Miners stand to benefit a lot more from a widely-used functioning currency than one that fails because it is incapable of scaling. They want Bitcoin to succeed in the long run, because a lot of them hold a lot of Bitcoin. Particularly, there is little reason to keep block sizes small for this reason because while the average transaction fee might go down, the total number of transactions in a block will go up, with an overall neutral effect on total transaction fee. Additionally, the vast majority of a miner's reward still comes from the block reward, so miners don't care too much about transaction fees yet.

Segwit is already close to rolling out and block size increases could happen in the medium term. Or, if all else fails, there's always side-chains and altcoins. The fundamental technology (blockchain) is fine, even if a particular implementation of it with a specific set of tuning parameter values happens to stagnate. I don't foresee that happening though, as the incentives for everyone in the ecosystem are aligned for Bitcoin not to fail, and if limited transaction volume truly starts changing that, then changes (beyond what's already on the current roadmap) will be made.
For the people who want to try this on OS X run `locate ncurses.h` to see if you have the ncurses library. If you have Xcode installed, you should have it in a few places. Then update the Makefile, set `NCURSES_H = {dir}` and it should make and install just fine.
This question gnaws at my bones, too. Best answer so far wrt the upper middle class: logics of capitalism (competition, accumulation) combined with ethnic/cultural/ideological/socioeconomic isolation makes it hard to identify with (most) other people. With reduced empathy for those affected by exploitation, we construct a new set of mythologies to normalize the exploitation (increasing efficiency of markets). Moral objections are then dismissed as quaint, naive, and/or utopian.

It also seems like material scarcity and instability make it harder to converge on norms like morality (for good game-theoretic reasons). But why would a private individual with $10M have a position in a company that provides payday loans? Beats me.

Good luck! (Genuine) Hope it makes it to reality and scales well. If lithium can be generated at scale in the US, the cost of electric cars domestically would drop like a rock, while keeping the money in the country. For the US, the benefits would be immense. That would be so great.

One thing I don't understand from the documentation: with old fashioned AppEngine web apps, I can enable billing, set a maximum spend of $1 per day, and be good for low traffic sites, with a very low (or zero) monthly cost.

I think that for flexible platform apps, you are always paying for a continuously on micro or small instance so the cost per month of a low traffic Ruby app might be $5 to $10 per month. Is this correct?

First "and while its occurring, no other rational thought is occurring". I'm not really sure how to respond to that. Of course no rational thought is taking place. It's a celebration. They aren't trying to have a rational discussion.

I think space exploration/achievement is a very big point of pride for Americans. Ever since the moon landing, everyone has fell in love with the space program. Chanting USA! doesn't mean give up all rational thought and blindly follow the countries leaders. It means a bunch of Americans just did something amazing. I'm glad to be a part of this country that is doing great things. It also doesn't mean go USA fuck Europe. Sure there is a little bit of a competitive undertone, but so what. If SpaceX says look what we did, I dare you guys to do better well then good. Competition is the reason why space programs are where they are. Sorry you don't like how one country likes to celebrate.

I am impressed - but I want to know how this works.

Who would buy coins (or mine) on a unofficial Zcash network? I can't imagine many people would expend resources supporting an unofficial network since one of the major risks of a zero-knowledge protocol is that the initial operator could "premine" a large quantity of coins and no-one would know.

People will probably wait for the official Zcash launch because they trust the Zcash team to launch a secure network and (importantly) to maintain the network going forward. In some ways this is like a Schnelling point, where people will wait for the official network because their expect other people will wait for the official network, and so on.
