I think its understandable that the media, especially the BBC, is a bit bitter. Here is an article from 2004 where the BBC chairman had to resign because of pressure from a government report over the evidence to go to war over Iraq:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3434661.stm

Here is an excerpt:

BBC chairman Gavyn Davies has resigned in the wake of Lord Hutton's criticisms of the corporation's reports.

He quit after Lord Hutton said the suggestion in BBC reports that the government "sexed up" its dossier on Iraq's weapons with unreliable intelligence was "unfounded".

Here is another quote from the story, this time from a BBC journalist:

"In the end what it comes down to is a judgement by Lord Hutton - who he believes, whose motives he trusts most and in that, again and again, he comes down on the side of politicians and officials."

So, as you say, some of the reporting today is probably a carthartic exercise...
Fingers crossed for the Hindley–Milner type system.
Is there any data from production systems available that confirms that is an issue in most/many real world applications (the lack of value types)? From the allocation profiles I have seen in the applications I have seen most allocations in Java programs seem to be from strings, often in logging, or byte array buffers. Value types would no help here but compressed strings would.

> I suspect few people understand the true benefits of a currency that doesn't fluctuate wildly.

I suspect most people understand the true benefits of it. But most people in the US and (Western) Europe have enjoyed the benefits of very stable currencies (measured in decades). Compare this to countries like Argentina which saw 26.7% inflation just last year. See the price correction happen where your grocery store suddenly jumps up the prices on your food from $10 to $12 just to account for inflation. Then wait for your paychecks to catch up. Then your employer is stuck deciding if they have to let people go (may not be simple in some countries) or desperately seek other cost savings and methods of revenue increase. This leads, potentially, to further price increases on consumer goods, requiring further pay increases to be able to maintain basic consumption, leading to more pressure on employers, etc.

Deflation has its own downward spiral once it gets past a small percentage.
I don't know the actual state of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were easy for screen readers to interpret emoji, since you just have to have it read out the human-readable name accompanying the Unicode codepoint.

A lot of the press and mindshare goes to the public blockchains like Bitcoin, but a ton of investment and work is being done on decentralized ledgers and solutions for financial institutions.

Can you say more about the complexity you're worried about? The projects you mention WILL land in 1.4 (which is about 90 days away), and thousands of companies are running huge production deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack and on-premises. Further, plug-ins already exist for Chef, Puppet, Salt and Ansible, if you'd like to use them.

To be clear, nothing is "masterless" - please go check out the production deployments for other container management solutions, they all require a separate control plane when running in production with a cluster of any reasonable (>64 nodes) size. FYI, it's a best practice when running a cluster of any size to separate the control plane.

To your direct question, with the other orchestration tools, how would you manage your ELB? Wouldn't you have your own management? They don't (to the best of my knowledge) do any sort of integration - not even the minimum level that Kubernetes does.

> I worked at a startup that died due to technical debt

That's interesting. I've never heard that before. My understanding is that most startups die because no one wants what their making. No market. Did you actually have a product that was selling? How did technical debt kill the company?
You need DST rules to handle future calendar entries correctly. Current network time doesn't help you with that.

Example: you have a calendar entry that is defined to happen in November 1, 2016, 10:00am Helsinki time. To show that in US Eastern time zone you need to know the DST rule of both.

If the calendar entry start would be defined in UTC, you would still need DST rule of US Eastern to show it correctly.
That doesn't work all that well on mobile apps, since users first have to download a new app before you can record the referral code. Having a link click persist through that process is nearly impossible.

In this case, what you would do is set up two separate clusters, and spread an ELB across them. No federation required :)

I think really good advice to late stage companies, before any of this stuff, is, "Have you actually found product/market fit?" If so, what is the product, what is the market?

I have spent a lot of time with startups (as an employee), and I have never seen this question answered properly, at least up close.

Very often product/market fit becomes "We've solved all these peoples' problems and they pay us money." The problem? The problems and the people are all different. I've witnessed so many companies turn themselves into specialized consulting companies thinking they've built the product that's going to take them to the finish line, when all they've really done is networked their way into solving a bunch of separate business problems for their network. A product should be so good that your users are almost embarrassed to file support tickets.

IMO, sama is wrong to suggest founders take their eye off the product ball at all (even just a little) until they are 1000% sure they've built a machine that will scale, and now all they have to do is scale it.
The Girl with the Augmented Body and a DIY Manufacturing Habit
I'm really not a fan of the external camera. IMHO the ultimate solution is for a camera (or two) on the headset running SLAM to create a virtual world that overlays the real world. Then the experience has to be designed to map onto a large variety of real world environments. You're still free to change the textures and lighting of course. While this is not a generally applicable concept, it would make the virtual experience vary depending on your real-world location. Imagine going to a friends house to play Doom because his house is actually more fun.

FYI, for my testing the pizzas were cooked in a home oven at 550°F. Though I really, really doubt that pre-sliced, fiber casing pepperoni will curl at all at any temperature. It kinda just melts and falls into the contour of the cheese all floppy-like.

I have definitely seen natural casing pepperoni (as well as other natural casing cured meats like soppressata) curl on Neapolitan pizzas I've made in 900°F+ ovens.
Uptime has been 100% as far as I can tell and their help and response to issues have been good too.

If you don't mind a sketchy company Volume Drive has great prices, just horrible service.
iSGX utilizes iME's DAL interface to access to a very limited subset of iME features that explicitly pertain to cryptography (primitives), time and calculations. iSGX is dependent on a skylake processor (due to the MEE[the hardware being iSGX] being attached/combined into the MC) and BIOS/UEFI support for iSGX.

Features such as PAVP via Intel Insider are not accessible in the current implementation (version 2) of Intel Software Guard Extensions. Access to PAVP and other powerful features of iME such as iAMT has been restricted to Intel and Intel Partners (M$, DoD) through obscurity and no available documentation. However, that being said, there are several white papers authored/co-authored by Intel employees who do make use of these immensely powerful features.

iSGX (nor any current technology that is known to the public) is capable of ensuring input CIA properties (without utilizing Intel Insider/PAVP to display a digital keyboard, transmitted via direct bus to NIC/eth.)

Other security technologies, specifically Sanctum does provide different coverage than iSGX but there is no "unified" security technology that is a one-size-fits-all solution.

iSGX's main PoF is poor security implementation by ISV's/enclave writer's. That being said it is better than TrustZone, TXT, XOM, Bastion, Aegis and Phantom in regards to the ratio of return:implementation cost.

"it was found that there are more hard of hearing users in the United States than the population Spain and more users who are blind and low-vision than the population of Canada."

And someone hoarding Bitcoin can seriously disrupt the Bitcoin economy by releasing it in massive amounts at a later point. Even an uncoordinated (deliberately) collection of hoarders can screw it all up, see market crashes. Bitcoin, having little in the way of a stable economy to be valued on, is too closely tied in value to its current exchange rates. This leads to it being more of a commodity (like stocks) than a currency. So if someone sees the price drop, they sell (at the now reduced price), which triggers others to sell, and others still.

This is not the mark of a stable currency or even a potentially stable one. Until a significant population can conduct the vast majority of their business in BTC, it's not a viable currency.

I mean Im just having trouble understanding a substantial link between wrong information learned in an acedemic envirnment (diverse peer group, diverse set of professors, bulk of learning being self directed, having already developed a worldview thats slightly more robust than "mommy knows everything") and trauma. Yes, it has negative economic reprecussions. Sure, in very rare and extreme cases, doing some wrong due to something you learned in college miight lose you a job (I say rare because it should be obvious that most work processes are wrong or out of date and there aint alot of firing done because of it.) But to equate that one source of incorrect knowledge (as opposed to everything else you hear or see which is true somehow?) with your whole fucking world regularly hitting you, telling you youre worthless, being absent in your life, etc, doesnt really gel with my understanding of childhood trauma.

Long-term studies or not, it would be useful to have an up-to-date system that clearly indicated whether or not the results of some particular study had been replicated, and how many times they had been replicated if at all, and if there were any conflicting results between studies.
You're right, you can't "sell" GPL software. What you mean by "sell" is "grant a license for usage" and that's exactly what the GPL or a similar FOSS license does. So the two things conflict. Really you're describing a situation that the GPL is not designed for.

Your desires are more inline with Microsoft 'shared source' type of situations.

The GPL and the FSF's world-view isn't particularly aligned with what you want (I believe). Either use the GPL and live with the constraints, or use something else. Something else's that come-up in a GPL but commercial context are:

a. Service or Support. You've said you want to be paid for creating the software and not for providing services, so this one is out. Note that SaaS is now the easiest way to achieve what you want.

b. Dual licensing. You said "you can't depend on GPL software then". Well yeah, because GPL is about a commons of equals 'sharing' and you want to charge for sharing - so you don't get to use other people's stuff for free. Seems fair to me.

But, your actual concern isn't really valid - there are lots of things you can write without depending on GPL software. This is probably more realistic than you think.

c. Open core. Someone described this to you earlier, I think.

d. Validation and/or IPR. Probably outside the boundaries of most individual developers. But think of the way that Java is licensed on the basis of it being a 'valid' implementation and then IPR and trademarks.

Lots of folks wanted what we were selling but the sales pitch didn't line up with what the software did. It was entirely technically possible but the 'technical' cofounder had saddled us with so much techdebt that we couldn't iterate fast enough to keep customers happy.

Bah, there are plenty of good reasons to visit Brazil! The beaches of Nordeste are beautiful (especially Pipa, my favorite, and Fernando de Noronha), the natural beauty of the Pantanal is unique & unmatched, Iguaçu is amazing, and if you're brave and willing to venture into the Amazon, surely the experience will be once in a lifetime. Brazil is a beautiful country with warm and inviting people. The only problem is the government. Most savvy tourists will be fine anywhere. Idiot tourists are at some risk in big cities. Most everyone is safe in rural areas and resort cities.

That said, I'd skip Rio, SP & Brasilia as vacation destinations unless you have truly compelling reasons to want/need to visit.

As a solid example of this... A fellow student was working on a problem that had a key-value mapping, but instead of storing them in a hash table/map/whatever the language wants to call it, he was storing them as pairs in a list and complaining about the performance on a large data set.

I asked him why he wasn't just storing it in a hash table instead. His answer: "Because I sometimes need to iterate over it and get both the key and the value"

My brain had to sit and parse what he'd said for a few moments, before I realized what the heck he was talking about. In all of the data structure courses, he'd been taught "A hash table hashes the key, and stores the value in the corresponding slot". In that mental model, there's no way to retrieve the key, only to retrieve the value given the key.

I explained to him that real-world implementations do do that, but also store the key along-side the value, so that you can still iterate across it. You could see the look of amazement wash over him, and then he frustratingly declared "Why the hell didn't they mention that?!"
