I don't think so. Though "most recently changed" is pretty useless too. They won't be synchronized in a distributed system, and even on a single machine if it's setup to use something like NTP, then the time won't be monotonically increasing since the clock-sync mechanism can move time both forward and backward.

Having now looked at it out of curiousity... http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/conflicts.html

"Each revision includes a list of previous revisions. The revision with the longest revision history list becomes the winning revision. If they are the same, the _rev values are compared in ASCII sort order, and the highest wins. So, in our example, 2-de0ea16f8621cbac506d23a0fbbde08a beats 2-7c971bb974251ae8541b8fe045964219."

Weird.
I don't think it's unreasonable for people who like a place to try to preserve the things they like about it. People living in San Francisco would be living in Manhattan if they wanted to live in Manhattan. Why would you expect them to quietly acquiesce to efforts aimed at turning SF into Manhattan West?
Not quite. No transaction blacklisting. He's proposing paying miners to re-mine the blocks without those transactions. In other words, compensate them for the hashing power required to make a new fork.

Very different from the ethereum situation. Miners won't go for it though. Would cost them too much from confidence loss.
To clarify, most of the customers I deal with are enterprise customers and so as such have many internet facing hostnames/domains/subdomains.

Arbitrarily enabling includeSubDomains is going to lead to nasty surprises if there is no prior coordination.
Good analysis and I've wondered this myself, though this assumes failure rate is linear rather than accelerating over time, that failures are independent (vs a design flaw that causes them to fail around the same time, which happens enough that people recommend buying drives from separate batches / date of mfg), and you have to factor in the cost of a larger RAID array + power to support the same level of reliability. It may make sense in data centers but the smaller you go, the bigger the jump in cost from drive arrays (e.g. a synology 2-bay, 4-bay, 5-bay, and 8-bay are each pretty significant jumps). I too am on team HGST because of that.
Yep, this was what I was getting at. Understanding the role of the device or channel in your path to conversion is absolutely critical for ensuring that you are making intelligent decisions and not misattributing performance to another channel (Direct and Organic being common culprits).

There's a surprising number of devils in the analytics details depending on a given site's setup (including things like payment processors showing up as referrals unless you exclude them) that can mess with things. Thankfully a lot of the big ones are "known unknowns" now that you can try to deal with or account for.

A lot of it has to do with the AT&T copper that they are actually connecting over too. I had their paired DSL offering in Redwood City. One of the lines got something like 10Mb/s, but the other was an abysmal 2Mb/s. It just wasn't worth it to keep the second pair. Sonic was a great company to have as an ISP, but in most areas, they are only as good as the copper they get from AT&T.
First figure is pretty bad too: "How average U.S. rent has changed relative to median income." ... Why compare mean to median?

Simple example that shows this could be no big deal .

incomes = [2,4,8,500, 500] median income = 8

rents = [1,2,4, 250, 250 ] average rent = 101.4

OMG !!! SO MUCH MORE THAN AVERAGE INCOME.
It's less popular for several reasons:

* Tor heavily used to get some anonymity in big internet.

* Tor have bundle browser solution that anyone can use.

* I2P is Java and not everyone know there is C++ client.

* I2P also audited less have more undergoing changes.

While I2P can be used to do exactly same things as Tor it's just not goal of project.
The first freelance client I ever had was a company that one of my friends worked for. It was a pharmaceutical company that was storing all their records in large 3 ring binders. I told my friend that their records could be digitized and stored on a central database and be accessible on all their lab computers. My friend liked the idea and asked if I could put together a simple proof of concept web service.

From there she demoed the prototype to her boss who loved it. She gave her boss my email and we began discussing features, scope and price. After a single in-person meeting we agreed to a features set, price, and delivery date. 2 months later I delivered a product. There were some minor changes that they requested after seeing the first version. I agreed to make the changed and brought back a final version. Finally after the system was up and running, I was paid.

I never really went looking for the freelancing opportunity, it just sort of fell in my lap. I guess the main take away is always be on the lookout for business inefficiencies that can be greatly improved by the skill set you possess and then make an offer and see what happens.

There really are two issues here:

1) in actual fact, very few votes were cast for ETH. Although many people ran the clients that supported a fork, most of them simply did so because it was the only option for their chosen client - there was no non-fork client option easily available to them. Very few people explicitly chose the clients to support the fork.

2) "Will of the people" defeats the point of ETHs smart contracts. If everyone in the pool decided to buy in on a bet of a digital coin toss, and the bet ends up 51% heads and 49% tails, is it ok for the heads bettors to simply consensus the bet out of the chain and reclaim their money in the event that tails wins?

Yes, market rate is what you would pay for other comparable apartments.

The sheer cost of land is a big part of the problem, but so are the fixed costs of construction. If you are taking advantage of the density bonus, you are probably also having to move from wood-over-concrete construction to steel framing, the base cost of which doesn't pay off until you have a much taller building to spread the cost over, which is probably taller than you can legally build even with the density bonus.

There are probably opportunities to forgo profit by charging something at or above your costs but less than the market might bear, but the costs of building are still so high that it's hard to get below the threshold to count as affordable even if you aren't trying to make any money.
Why is it shameful? Someone considered this an improvement, went through the process of creating >1000 patches and submitted them for review. That the patches were rejected categorically and someone presumably spent consideralbe development time on them is also not bad, because the likelihood of a good response to a question "what if I replaced .. with .." is low and seeing the huge patchset also drives home the amount of magic numbers one might replace.

It's just how software is developed where code is reviewed before inclusion and not committed-by-default and backed out later. And there's no Intel pre-mailing patch review group that has to vet kernel patches before a dev is allowed to send them out, ignoring NDA'ed things, of course.

There is no ill will here, and Intel has more unseasoned Linux developers now, so it's normal for seemingly naive patches to appear.

We need more developers who try, fail, try again, and that requires less shaming and more encouragement.

Google's Spanner, for instance, relies on their TrueTime design, which requires having a GPS clock and an atomic clock on each datacenter, I believe. Most designs simply rely on NTP or a similar time synchronization system.

Another approach is to maintain total order of writes. Assuming some form of consensus protocol to determine write order, the unicity of the order ensures synchronization. That design, however, tends to preserve user intent less. Bitcoin has a form of that.

Remembering Mount Pinatubo 25 Years Ago: Mitigating a Crisis
For those intrigued by Systems Thinking but want to explore it in context of startups (or business in general), consider reading Scaling Lean by Ash Maurya [1]. The whole Customer Factory [2] is based on a causal loop diagram of McClure's Pirate Metrics (AARRR); Ash also incorporates a lot of Theory of Constraints into the book. Highly recommended.

Systems Thinking was also part of Intel's culture under Andrew Grove (at least at the leadership level, from what I can tell). You can see evidence of that in his super-acclaimed book, High Output Management [3], especially the first couple of chapters (though he doesn't refer to it directly). Rich Jolly, another executive @ Intel, actually has a PhD in Systems Science and also wrote a book, Systems Thinking for Business [4], although it's definitely a bit more advanced and more theoretical than the others listed here.

And, I whole-heartedly agree - Meadows' book is simply an AMAZING treatise of Systems Thinking. It's a great place to start regardless of your background (the beauty of ST is that it is applicable to a broad range of fields and disciplines).

As an aside, does anyone know of any good/free/open source tools for drawing causal loop diagrams, or better yet, running simulations?

CloudFormation covers all AWS features in full detail. OTOH, you end up reading and editing tons and tons of JSON that were never meant for human consumption. I don't know what goals Amazon had when they came up with CF, but if human readability was one of them, then they've failed that goal.

I've seen a lot of people start writing their own CF management systems, in Python or whatever, and end up with a lot of infrastructure defined in the logic of the homegrown management tool - like a badly written PHP page where presentation and logic are all mixed up. You see that once, you never want to go there again.

Terraform does not cover all AWS features, but the exceptions are few and tend to be lesser used features. The file format is human readable (this is subjective to some extent), and can be composed and modularized easily.

I'm not a big fan of buzzwords and soundbites, but Terraform comes pretty close to fulfilling the ideal of "software-defined infrastructure" in a way that is accessible, easy to use, easy to expand, and just makes sense - in the way a good programming language just makes sense.

> Communicating color is extremely difficult!

Odd personal anecdote: In first grade art class the teacher held up a piece of art paper and said "This is red". Being the curious student I was, I raised my hand and asked "how do you know?" I was looking for something that would answer both "how do you know I perceive red the same way you do" and also "what defines it to be red". Something about wavelengths and color spectrum etc. would have been a great answer.

I was sent to the principal's office as a troublemaker. Never did like art class after that.
Oh cool, I'll check it out. Thanks for writing it!
What it owes is what the IRS can get, there's not some abstract "just" amount that it should pay.

Finally! Jobs are worth what the market bears right then, not what they were previously worth, so why do employers want to ask such demeaning questions
Second thought
Boy, all of those recruiting/hr programs are going to need to be re-written to comply. A lot require you to say what you've been paid at every previous job. Since they are sold nationally, all of those HR departments will need that one field stripped out to now comply to MA law.
Mid-brow dismissal. You're focusing on one phrase and yelling "gotcha!".

Let me make it easier to understand: "The U.S. is running out of places that people want to live."

We're realizing that living in an anonymous suburb on a tract of cheap land a 90 minute drive from where we work is stupid. It's terrible for the environment, it stunts social and business opportunities, and it is boring. More people in cities is good for the environment, good for economic equality, and good for sanity.

There are an infinite number of places that you "could" live, so your use of "running out of housing" is a straw man. By your definition, it's not even possible to "run out of housing".

You can get better pricing if you research how their pricing games work and then fight to win them. My Verizon bill is a fourth of what it used to be on the triple play and about half what it was when I killed the triple play and went Internet only from using the trick of going to the cable company and then returning for prewired new customer pricing.

Getting it without many of the tricks advertising uses to extract more money out of customers than the advertised pricing is a struggle though.
Yeah it's by no means perfect. Another problem that comes up is that when one drive fails the load on the others increases, which can lead to more failures. It'd be really interesting if someone's looked into the stats here but I haven't seen it.

As for paying for the power+drive bays, that's true of the consumer NAS devices but if you buy used servers instead it isn't such a problem. For the price of a 12 bay Synology disk station you can buy a 24 bay, 4U, used Supermciro 846E16-R1200B with a couple of CPUs and 144GB of RAM.

Not a great choice if you're short on space but can be decent otherwise.
Seems a bit paranoid. I also think you're giving too much credit to the government by thinking they're able to competently coordinate this across major agencies (IRS + NSA).
When Microsoft got dragged into court for their antitrust issues, wall street pointed out that it was partially because Microsoft didn't play politics.

They didn't employ lobbiest in any meaningful way, infact they ignored Washington altogether and just went about their business.

Google and Facebook internalized this lesson and became two of the most politically connected companies and some of the biggest spenders on lobbyists in America.

It turns out one good thing about the IRS is that it doesn't care much for politics or who is running the show, it just cares that it gets paid what it thinks its owed. Say what you will about the IRS but I think it might be one of the least political organizations in Washington.

If the issue is that auditors are signing off on companies licensing its IP and trademarks way too cheaply to a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, then maybe the solution is to have auditors responsible for a portion of the taxes owed if the IRS challenges and wins. At the least it would start making auditors a more risk adverse.

> To clarify, we don't think of these specs as URLs.

But everyone else will because you are including the protocol, and at the end of the day, they are a uniform way of identifying a resource, so they are functionally URIs.

Otherwise, you should probably either conform to the HTTP(S) protocol spec or makeup your own, e.g. noms+http://dbinstance.noms.foo::database/dataset

SQLAlchemy and most DB URIs are good examples on how to do this. For example, you can connect to a MySQL database instance and give it a default namespace/schema/database.

Part of the issue here is the ambiguity between a database, a database instance/server/host, a dataset/table, a catalog/namespace/schema, and what all those words and concepts mean. There's little consensus across fields, because even if computer scientists say "Okay, this is what a dataset actually is", somebody, whether it's a biologist or a physicist, will throw up their arms in protest.
One thing very few people consider about writing in cursive, is that it is much harder to do if you are left handed. As a left handed person this annoys me.

> Performance

I use Firefox about 80% of the time. I use Chrome for a few sites I need for work that still use Flash.

I really don't notice this performance issue. I don't use Slack, but do use Google Maps, Google Drive/Docs/Sheets and Gmail and it's all just fine in Firefox from my perspective.

I tend to not keep large numbers of tabs open (just habit more than anything) so that may be part of it. E.g. 10 tabs would be a lot for me.

I also don't sync settings. In fact I have no settings: I have firefox set to basically dump everything (cache, history) upon exit.
> Western Union expected their Teletype operators to be able to type "blind", with no display or printer to see what they were typing.

My aunt taught typing at a girls' high school in the '80s. She was amazingly fast - she bought a typewriter with a memory, and I recall her being finished with a typewritten letter when the page was only one-third of the way through 'printing'. Had to wait for it to finish each time before loading in the next letter.

Later in the '80s she got a job as a temp and was working on a computer. Boss comes in and sees here just staring motionless at it: "What are you doing, why aren't you working?". Her response was "I'm just waiting for the computer to catch up". The boss went over to look, and sure enough, the computer was still bringing up what she typed onto the screen...
