Im still a bit confused. I've been on both the building side and the hiring side so I'd be in your target market. Can you contrast this model from hiring a typical dev shop or freelancer to fill a project spec for me? The business saves money, but pays royalties?

This is a bit of an over simplification, because the 'cores' of a GPU aren't really comparable to a CPU core. It's more like scaling up a factory - at a single point on the production like you go from 1 person doing a job to 100 people doing the same job with the same tools. It means you can do more of the same thing, but can't do 100 completely different things.

Here is a good overview:

Revolv was sold as a cloud-managed device - the thousand or so people who bought one knew this.

This isn't a unique problem just to Revolv, or home automation.

What happens when any company that provides a SaaS or cloud service goes bust?

Say you host your app on AWS, or DigitalOcean - if the company shuts down, will you claim that it's not "fair" for them to shutdown on you, and they must keep your application running?

Tech companies shut down all the time - sure, it sucks both for the people that work at that company, and for their customers (but I suspect more for the employees - you may have just lost some expensive tech toy - they've potentially lost their livelihoods.)

Let's take a step back, and look objectively at the facts - there was a small hardware startup, that created a cloud-based home automation product.

A few thousand people probably bought it - not enough to keep the company going. They were acqui-hired, all remaining stock destroyed, but the company that acquired the team decided to keep the servers up for a couple more years. After that, they announced they were pulling the plug.

Sure, it sucks - but they bought a cloud-managed product from a new hardware startup. I don't think any of these people were stupid - they knew exactly what they were buying.

If they didn't want to have this risk, then they would have bought from either 1. a larger company that was less likely to go bust or 2. a non-cloud managed product.

However, many of the advantages of the product are probably from it being cloud-managed. I see no issue with buying a cloud-managed device, as long as you know what you're getting into.

And look - let's be honest - home automation - I don't exactly want to be opening up my home network to the world, just so I can access it from my phone. Having a hosted service to do this is pretty cool.

Likewise, I don't have the compute power to do any cool ML at home - but if it was all done on the cloud, and there was a company behind it with the infrastructure and engineering effort, that's a good thing.

I have two Dropcams - they're pretty cool devices. Very easy to setup - but cloud managed. This is tradeoff I knew when I bought them. If the company disappeared, I understand my cameras would fail to work.

I would be upset - but I don't think it would be "unfair". I'd just hope that the people who worked at the company were doing alright.
>There's examples online of a router that's 20 lines

Yes, 20 lines which you have to be responsible for and maintain... and changes over time add up to make it 200.

Yep, with boilerplate code that you have to write and again, grows as your use cases grow.

Oh, some view layer some guy came up with 22 days ago... or something that has been working for a decade for facebook. I wonder which one I want to go with.
That's pretty funny.
I'd prefer if this material were posted as part of the job descriptions on the website. (it's useful beyond just to the whoishiring crowd). Making it a mandatory part of the job postings would be a pain for the people who write them, and I wouldn't want to deter postings.

(Sometimes the interview process gets modified per candidate, too.)
How is that any more secure? Are you sure every native app on your phone isn't sending the correct network packets to your router to reconfigure it? Seems like in either case all you need is a password to protect either in a secure enough way. Or isolate the router config on its own vlan
Same here. I've also seen the re-written code perform no better than the original but nevertheless celebrated as improved. I guess when billable hours are at the heart, nobody wants to say "and we rebuilt the homepage for what turned out to be no reason at all, but kept us busy for a few weeks".
If you accidentally flag an article, you can click the "unflag" link to reverse the action.
I've never had this experience. Is this a Bay Area thing? In my experience companies are usually upfront about what their process is, if indeed they have a process at all.
I agree with you - I have no inside knowledge of this, but all the evidence from the time points to not many Revolv units being shipped - I'd be surprised if there were more than several thousand units sold in total, over the lifespan of the company.

They'd have no chance of ever recouping their investment, or gaining any kind of critical mass.

An acquirhire was probaby a good thing, at that stage - the founders/employees get a new job, and the customer base get an extension on the shutdown, at least for a couple years.
It was popular in Germany around 2007. All JUGs were doing presentations about Groovy and Grails.

That's true. I really wanted to talk about alternate digital currencies so I started by attacking Bitcoin's big blockchain and huge power burden.

I recognize each 'transaction' holds several payments. I find the growing size of the block chain pretty astonishing as well, in an alarming way for users.
Transformation of most ES6 features into functionally identical, backwards-compatible ES5 is trivial, and automated tools exist to do that, so you absolutely can use them today.

For example, default arguments are purely syntactic sugar for `if (arg === undefined) { arg = x; }` in the first line of a function. Still, I'd much rather write ES6's declarative `function foo(arg=x) { }` syntax rather than imperatively implement it in ES5 each time I need it.

Maybe someone here can explain but why would another large company such as Verizon want to buy dying brands such as AOL and Yahoo? The user base of such sites is drying up.

You're mistaken. Vimperator is explicitly on our list of add-on functionality to support at https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions#Additional_APIs, and it has been there since the very early days of the WebExtensions project.

Will WebExtensions v1 be ready to handle Vimperator? Absolutely not. But we'll almost assuredly get there before we remove the existing APIs that those add-ons rely on.

Because people won't "just stop using them." Yahoo's current users aren't the early adopter type. They don't like change, or trying new things.
It's easy to criticize Mayer but I think the expectations of what she could have achieved were pretty wildly out of whack. I'm reminded of Daniel Kahneman's dissection of CEO performance and the book "Built to Last", in his book, "Thinking Fast and Slow":

> The basic message of Built to Last and other similar books is that good managerial practices can be identified and that good practices will be rewarded by good results. Both messages are overstated. The comparison of firms that have been more or less successful is to a significant extent a comparison between firms that have been more or less lucky.

> Because luck plays a large role, the quality of leadership and management practices cannot be inferred reliably from observations of success. And even if you had perfect foreknowledge that a CEO has brilliant vision and extraordinary competence, you still would be unable to predict how the company will perform with much better accuracy than the flip of a coin. On average, the gap in corporate profitability and stock returns between the outstanding firms and the less successful firms studied in Built to Last shrank to almost nothing in the period following the study. The average profitability of the companies identified in the famous In Search of Excellence dropped sharply as well within a short time. A study of Fortune’s “Most Admired Companies” finds that over a twenty-year period, the firms with the worst ratings went on to earn much higher stock returns than the most admired firms.

Mayer wasn't lucky. But I bet she's far more competent than most of us.

Someone explained this to me recently with a simple analogy that may be helpful to you as well. Suppose the average user of AOL is 50 years old and non technical. That person has a decent amount of purchasing power and is likely to not significantly change their purchasing habits over the next 20 years. So there's a high chance of vendor lock-in and value capture even if there is actually no technological progress to speak of.

Nice, she can throw a few more of her famous parties
I used to ride a motorcycle every day from the suburbs to Chicago's loop (until a crash on the way to work. heh) and I'm not sure that I'd want something like this. As binary as it initially seems, there's actually a lot more contextual information to it than you'd think. The swerviness, the length of the brake, how straight their car's going, how often they do it, head position, how in depth their conversations seem to be, etc. Like a lot of riders out there, I started playing mini games to try and figure out what the drivers were doing to help with determining risk. For me, imagining the physical position of their driving limbs, as weird as that may sound, was the most help. Thinking the problem in those terms helped out and really pushed the idea that if their foot is hovering over the brake, then a lot of caution is needed. I don't do this as much in a car, and I doubt many drivers do this, or anything close to it.

I think that if something like this was implemented, then a lot of people would use it as a crutch and make poor decisions based on implied safety eg, "His light didn't blink three times, so I didn't think to stop." That, and a lot of new cars, for some stupid reason, seem to want to obfuscate the significance of brake lights by just having them be brighter versions of on-by-default lights anyway or similar.

There definitely is something along those lines that'd be helpful, but I think it might have to be all or nothing there. Flooding phone frequencies with white noise might work, though ;)
A couple of questions - how many years out of college are you, and how many red-black trees have you actually had to implement from scratch in that time? Me, 20 and 0, respectively.

It was prototype code, OP said that it was unmaintainable, and complained about, among other things, the "web-boys" adding unit tests - I'm not a 100% coverage zealot or anything, but adding some tests is not exactly hipster shit, it's a perfectly justifiable step when taking a prototype messaging app into production, especially if you have time in the schedule.

This does not sound to me like they hopped on a bandwagon and wrecked working code, it sounds like they were trying to bring some fast and dirty code that they didn't like the structure of closer to a style that they were familiar with, which is reasonable.

Of course we don't know any real details, maybe the web boys really were a bunch of copypasta idiots that messed it all up - I've seen this scenario play out both ways, and the one thing that's for sure is that prototype engineers are always skeptical of work that other people do on their babies, whether they do it well or not.
For the money they paid her she should have been much more lucky. Race horses aren't applauded for their competence, elegant walks and good looks. They need to win.

> IPv6 is enabled in beta channel ... and is waiting on upstream stability fixes

I'll be interested to see the kernel patches because in my experience the kernel-side of IPv6 has been stable for over a decade, including the past seven years with a native IPv6 Internet connection through Linux routers.

Google itself enabled public IPv6 connectivity in 2009 so I am surprised that a Google-affiliated team is having issues with IPv6.

Marissa was the 5th Yahoo CEO between 2011 and 2012. Yahoo had a habit of hiring CEOs and then firing before they had a chance to make progress.

She didn't want to be fired 6 months into the job. Yahoo is a big ship, and Marissa wanted time to turn it around and see results. I assume she negotiated a large severance pay not as a way of making lots of money, but rather to incentive the board to give her a chance.

If you're planning to go into one, don't. You won't be able to get out.

If you do go into one, the only way out is to reverse time until before you went in, and then don't go in.
