I find it super interesting that this is on the front page at the same time as a ex-Google design ethicist is talking about respecting the user ahead of commercial interests.
That makes total sense for bottled soda, but for 7-11 sodas (which were what was mentioned in the comment I replied to), or fast food sodas (which were mentioned often at the time the law was proposed), there were always various sizes. They got cheaper by volume as they got larger, but 1) that's the same as every product, and 2) there's overhead in cup and the labor of filling it that stays fairly flat as the size increases.

Wasn't the Bloomberg law intentionally meant to corral people into drinking less soda by forcing people who wanted to drink more to carry two cups? The law, rather than the opposition to it seems like an explicit, intentional example of the OP.

edit: I don't drink soda, and I'm not a libertarian.

I agree, I don't see this episode as a systemic, top-down, news manipulation initiative, but more as a deep lack of self-awareness and reflection on the network's impact on what people see. And that hasn't been addressed yet.

But is this a "liberal vs conservative" issue or a "big money vs the public" issue?

There are plenty of other companies that throw their weight around to oppose Democrats while cutting deals with totalitarians. And other companies that donate to both sides just to make sure, such as the arms industry?
The scheme is simple: the more -- the better. Though, you should not be put back by the false assumption of your traffic flow being too weak -- give it a try and see how it goes.

Usually it requires about 10k unique visitors per month to start with. Concrete answer on your question hugely depends on your audience structure and number of variations.
It's also very hard to see patterns since they live sort each tick in time and are constantly swapping graphs around.
That is the best part! It is cheaper! We had a node service that went from $2500/mo to $400/mo just by switching form Ec2 to Lambda. That is the most apples to apples comparison I can give you. Other services were split up or rewritten, but honestly my gut feeling tells me they are costing 10x-50x less.

IMO Autoscaling ec2 instances to daily traffic is not a trivial problem and you'll never get the granularity you can with Lambda
This sounds completely fine. The "results and proceeds of the Services performed under or in any way in connection with this Agreement" are the work products that they're paying for.
Surprised to see this post so far up on HN.

Not only is Agile still very valuable with lots of good lessons to teach us - this guy's complaints are technically wrong - his examples pertain to the use of the word as a verb or an adjective - not as a noun. And, to be fair, in the context of software, turning Agile into a verb is perfectly fair.

"Agile Master Alliance" - Adjective - it modifies "Master"

"How to Agile" - Verb.

"Agile Certificate" - Adjective. You could argue that it is a nominalization, but that is truly splitting hairs.

Let's put it another way: if this guy doesn't know what a [gerund](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerund) is, or what [nominalization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominalization) is, that is not Agile's problem.

So, in the end, what is this guy's point, other than "get off my lawn"?

Edit/update:

Magdoub's point is this:

>You don’t need velocity, daily stand ups, points estimations, spikes, scrum masters to deliver high quality software. You just need good people.

That is so catastrophically false that I don't even know where to start. I mean, really sanity-blasting. Sure, maybe cargo-cult adherence to agile tenets is not going to help anyone, but throwing management methodology out the window and hoping that "good people" just somehow summon good software into being is comically naive.
I was about to post the same sentiment re: smoking.

Given that we see this type of behavior in all industries (not just tech), it seems to me it's actually a systemic problem. People / organizations are incentivized universally to optimize for their own selfish interest, because they do not incur the cost of their decisions on everyone else. In this case, designing your product to maximize e.g. addictiveness or time spent per user makes sense if the downside of that is paid by the user.

I think taxing wealth / property instead of (primarily) income actually solves this problem, but that's another story...

I think that's massively oversimplifying. Many Republicans really do believe things like: "A nationwide $15 minimum wage would have profoundly negative economic consequences both for small businesses unable to defray the added labor cost, and for the employees they'd otherwise be able to hire."

You can disagree with that belief, but it's not rooted in racism and classism.

> The other "guidelines" blog post[1] that he linked to doesn't actually address the real transparency that people would love to see: The list of (conservative) stories that curators sent to the bottom of the heap.

Some people would like to see the list of "conservative" stories that were sent to the bottom, for the amount of definitions of "conservative" equal to the amount of people who want to see that list. Others would like to see a similar list for "progressive" stories (again, a different list for every person), yet others would like to see a list of "neoreactionary" stories, and then some would want a list of "pro-peace anti-government cisgendered right-handed neuro-diversity-promoting anti-gun stories", or whatever.

This is politics, everyone wants more of what they like and less of what they don't like. Add to this the fact that some people are making money on their stories being shown, and you have a situation which is impossible to address by Facebook - and one they should not attempt to address at all. You can't satisfy everyone, and trying will only make things worse.

People need to suck it up. Political stories in media are one of the least reliable information sources in existence; I'd understand the outrage if it was about something actually valuable.
I have to agree. It always boggles me when I visit Manhattan and think to myself: "This is one of the richest and grandest cities in human history - so why are the public spaces so putrid?" Constantly stepping on old gum and cigarette butts...and God help you if you need to use the subway on a hot summer day.

I often feel the same way walking about San Francisco and encountering the unmistakeable stench of human excrement.

To pretend or make out that you're some kind of marginalized group, that you're being ignored or exploited or taken advantage of or just not getting what you're supposed to be entitled to, and that you're afraid and worried and unhappy -- it sounds so lame and cheap, and in the end, boring.

yes, but at the same time, Glen Beck represents the more 'religious' aspect of the far-right. That's the whole issue with the right (IMO) is that it was hijacked by the (Hypocritical) religious people, whereas there was almost NO ONE representing the right-center folks who are fiscally conservative, yet socially liberal/acceptable (live and let live).

It will only become worth it once the size of the network reaches a critical mass. It could have all the cool features in the world but still be completely useless if you can't use it to reach your friends.

If you want to make a 9P interface to SMS without running Hellaphone, you should start by looking into the RIL daemon.

You can read/write that socket yourself and use it to e.g. send SMS

He mentions Brendan Eich who was ousted from Mozilla for his anti-gay views. I have little sympathy for someone who feels marginalized by views they choose to hold and express when I, as a gay man, could be marginalized simply for who I am, something I did NOT choose. While most people may be able to just put their political opinions on the shelf, any time discussion turns towards family or after-work hobbies I have to make a conscious decision based on who I'm talking to and how it could affect the situation.

I can be professional and work on a temporary basis with people who hold anti-gay views, and I'm not going to go out of my way to attack them. I don't know much about how Eich ran Mozilla, I couldn't say if he deserved what happened, but I know that I would not consider a job at a company with anti-gay leadership.
I'll see your rant and raise you an exasperated sigh.

> We are starting to become a bunch of sheep

You might be, but not all of us are.

> why are we not pissed off about this

About them blocking (but still bundling) flash in 2016? I'd honestly be more questioning why they ever bundled it in the first place. I use Safari and have not installed Flash in.. years.

But if you mean pissed off about Google using it's position of power to arbitrarily decide what technology "wins" and "loses" - people are pissed off. Unfortunately, there is seemingly an entire generation of developers who are somehow perpetually convinced Google is the second coming of jesus, and that anything they do must be a good thing.

I've seen developers who will argue that they use emacs/vim over a full IDE "because now I'm not reliant, I can work on a server if i need to" and then use Google for fucking everything. So the lesson is, you can't become dependent on something you actually have control over, like a laptop, but it's fine to become dependent on a mega-corporation that has a history of just abandoning shit because nothing ever lives up to the ridiculous amounts of profits made by being a creepy personal data collecting tracker of fucking everything.

Regardless of your thoughts about flash, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the world outside google. Other browsers exist. Other search engines exist. Other ad networks (and less fucking creepy ones) exist. Go forth. Be adventurous. Be free. Seriously.

Anyone who thinks Google's level of control on the web (search engine, browser, data centres, home internet connections, mobile phones) isn't a massive risk is kidding themselves.

Edit: for clarity, I'm not arguing that the situation isn't fucked, just saying, don't lie down and accept it. Also, have an up vote, because, you know, the voting system here is fucked.

Higher density is much more efficient. There is so much expensive infrastructure that you must have that you can share (roads, sewers, phone lines etc.) and infrastructure that's not even viable otherwise like different forms of public transit. If you don't like cities for esthetic reasons you can always move to the country side.

In fact my Mother-in law who lived through the Great Depression on onions and milk, remembers when the Minimum Wage went into law. She remembers it as the time of the great job crash. Folks used to be able to be bicycle messengers or doormen or junkyard watchmen - many of those jobs became too expensive and disappeared. Some jobs got folded together into one, making more work for those already employed and putting others out of work. She was not a fan of Minimum Wage.
The AWS UI and console are great for <10 functions. 100 functions... not so much. It becomes necessary to automate things and Apex provides that. If you are just getting started, I'm not sure it is "better". But if your entire stack is lambda funcs its almost necessary to keep your sanity.
You obviously live in an echo chamber so let me explain it to you;

If you believe that every life is sacred and has intrinsic value simply for being alive, and believe that a fetus is a life at the moment of conception, than abortion is murder and no different than gunning someone down in the street. Therefore abortion should be illegal. This isn't even a religious argument. For your friends that had their contraception fail, adoption is always an option and it doesn't involve murder.

"Bible thumping ignorant and proud"... I'm also betting that you are an athiest, have never made a serious attempt to understand the teachings of christ (which are way more liberal than anything you believe, and are the root of the 2 thousand year old movement towards real social justice).

If your views are in favour of the repression and marginalisation of others then you will find yourself in the minority in the left coast.

I'm sorry, the right hold some pretty reprehensible views on gay marriage, police brutality, the poor and working class, and women's rights. Then, when they are called on their bullshit all of the sudden they are the victim.

The rest of the world does not apologise if reality has a liberal bias.
Your question is probably rhetorical, but it happened because the Republican party decided they needed to bring social conservatives (especially Southern whites disaffected by the Civil Rights Act) into their coalition. See "Southern strategy" [1].

I believe anti-choice specifically was brought into the party platform during the Ford years. Outright homophobia was pretty mainstream until well into the 90s, and wasn't much of a differentiator between the parties. Democrats just soft-pedaled their position while the Republicans, specifically the fundamentalists who had grown in power since the 80s, made AIDS and gay marriage boogeyman issues in the "culture wars" [2].

For the record, both parties are coalitions and involve this kind of compromise between different constituencies (see Dems and organized labor, et al.)

"The song “Drag Me Down” by One Direction appeared on YouTube 2,700 times after the service was asked to take down unlicensed copies. These 2,700 pirated uploads allowed Google to continue profiting from advertising while the artists got nothing."

That is objectively not true. Labels are very strict about issuing takedown notices. The only videos that stay up are those using content ID, in which case the artist gets paid.

I know this is an op-ed, but shame on the NYT for allowing such a blatant falsehood to be published.
I find this article a bit ironic, given that Glenn Beck spent years at Fox News stirring up the ornery attitudes that he denounces here.

We disagree overall. In sum, I think it's a distinct possibility free software wins with an Oracle victory. Your position is that everything is fine and dandy today. I disagree because otherwise this wouldn't be in court. There are legitimate issues that need resolved, neither Google or Oracle are good guys. Google created their own problem trying to cut corners/save money and it backfired. They admitted in their emails it was a risk and they went for it.

But I did want to clarify one thing you said because I found it confusing.

> The GPL is a license that depends on accepting the license -- or not. It is always acceptable not to accept the license and write your own.

If you do use GPL code you have to also license it as GPL. Any derivative work you create containing even a smallest portion of the previously GPL licensed software must also be licensed under the GPL license. That's what Google meant when they called it infectious and viral. Unfortunately for these large corporations, it was also the solution (other than doing the heavy lifting in-house as Apple did).

When you don't accept GPL'd code, you write your own code and license (or adopt another).
