I suppose you're right. The timeline avoids editorializing but at the same time tries to inform, and in my opinion it would be valuable to inform that from March 2013 until Chrome shipped TLSv1.2 in August 2013, there was no good cipher to pick that didn't have an exploit.

As it stands now you have to combine different pieces of information, some already included in the timeline (RC4, Lucky 13, Chrome TLSv1.2), some you have to know by knowing what's in TLSv1.1 and what's not (yet) in it.
I dunno. Before Dropbox I didn't really use a general purpose file store in the cloud for anything. I stored pictures on flickr and documents on Google Docs but nothing general purpose.

Now I store my entire home directory, all of my financial & legal documents, and quite a few other things (some in Dropbox some elsewhere). I dunno if that's transforming the world or not but it's made a pretty big difference to me personally.

I don't see any indication federal government is more resistant to regulatory capture than state government. It may be more expensive, but the numbers are still don't even breach 1% of potential profits, and capturing one federal regulator is much better and easier than capturing fifty+ state ones or ten thousand local ones...

This is a trinary variable, not a binary one. Sure, between the two options of giving people freedom to make their own mistakes versus applying coercion for their own good, I'm in favor of the first option. But there is a third: soft paternalism, giving people freedom to do what they want but setting things up so that the right choice is the easiest. Such evidence as we have, indicates that it works very well.

Ok, not unexpected given that Drummond stepped back from being a board member, of course they got that seat by buying nearly 7% of the company[1]. Which if they had sold it to the other investors who came in on $62.5B round[2] they could have taken about $900M out which they could use to start their own ride sharing service. Sort of like drinking the Unicorn's blood to create a spell that will kill the Unicorn. The irony here, especially after Google did the same thing at Apple, big investment, board seat, oh wait you have a business that seems to be a winner (iPhone) lets step back and do that!

I wonder if this will make it harder for GV to participate in any sort of funding rounds.

2015 Traffic Fatalities Data: A Call to Action to Download and Analyze
That's fair, but in my experience (from when I was fat), buying clothes that fit may not have been hard. But buying clothes that fit and looked good was hard. They even have specialty shops for the particularly obese, it's not like they're finding well-fitting suits off the rack at Jos. A. Banks.

EDIT: Actually, clothes that fit could be hard. I wasn't terribly round, I ended up with a 38" waist at my fattest at 5' 10", but usually around a 36" waist. But my legs, thighs in particular, were not toned or thin. My option on pants almost always required me to go up several inches on the waist to get pants with large enough legs for me. My thighs, now, are well-muscled and toned, but I still have a hard time finding pants that fit them well now that I'm down to a 32" waist.

But I still don't think the problem is catering to the obese hurting the skinny. The problem is that being that thin is abnormal (from a statistical perspective). Consequently, it's a small market. It's hard to justify making off-the-rack shirts that fit a 6'2" 120lb man. Just as it's hard to justify making of-the-rack shirts that fit a 5'4" 250lb man.
One point that is often undiscussed: what defines a textbook has expanded greatly. It used to be that a textbook was just a book. But now a textbook is the book plus a huge collection of other resources, most of which the student never sees. A modern textbook includes tests with answer keys, a teaching guide that a grad student TA can use to teach an entire course, flash cards, supporting videos, handouts for class, online exercises, etc etc.

The dirty secret of modern textbooks is that there has been a huge arms race in developing material that makes it easier to teach a course with less work. I don't really think that truly benefits students, since most of this material isn't for the student, it's for the professor (or more cynically for the free labor of grad students used to do a lot of the teaching). But you can't sell a textbook these days without it. I wish there was a universe in which you could sell a simple Psych 101 textbook for $50 and have that be that. But the market won't adopt a simple book like that without the myriad of extras. And since the market here is wonky, meaning the person making the decision (the professor) doesn't bear any of the cost (and might in fact benefit if it's her book), we end up where we are.

This isn't to say that the whole new edition thing isn't worth criticism. Or that there aren't all sorts of things wrong with the industry. But the percentage increase you see in the cost of a textbook for students doesn't just equate to the same percentage increase in the profit margin of textbook publishers. They're not just making the same product from 40 years ago and jacking up the prices 1,000% as the article implies. The product is a whole different beast.

I don't see why commentators here are so divided, presuming they are not beneficiaries of this system.

The government gets revenue from taxes to provide services. If everyone were to do what Ireland is doing then goverments either have to raise money by increasing other taxes or reducing services.

Either way individuals and society lose. Nobody wins from this race to the bottom.

The bigger question is the presence of these convenient loopholes in the global financial system that benefit the wealthy and privileged but leave everyone else facing clear cut laws that cannot be evaded without serious consequences.

Questioning the legitimacy of taxes, or even society, and getting pedantic about laws in this context seems little more than a self serving tactic to avoid admitting this is obviously wrong. Especially when everyone else without exception is paying their fair share. Here is a better idea, pay your share and then start a debate about taxes and society if you want.
Maybe that info is stale? Climate isn't perfect but cities are not shrinking. There are 200M more Americans these days; they don't all live on the coast. Many midwest cities are growing. Slowly with reasonable housing costs.

Just to be clear, your offer is this ex-employee possibly gets to pay a $x00k legal bill for your convenience, right?

> people opting out ... makes its information less valuable for targeted advertising

I have very little sympathy for a business model based on surveillance and manipulation. Figuring out how to generate revenue is Facebook's problem. Lots of unethical behavior would be valuable in various business models. Facebook can police themselves or they eventually invite (probably less desirable) legislation crafted by pissed off people.

> Threatening Facebook employees with physical harm

For the record, I am in almost all circumstances I am a pacifist. I would never advocate for physical harm. That said, I have nothing against revealing the private information of the people who insist on doing the same as a business model.

> directly inimical to its interests

> I'm not sure what to suggest in its place

That's easy; you change arrange it so they want to do the necessary due diligence of making sure new any new algorithm is both necessary and safe. We accomplish this with liability. Data needs to be toxic. If you collect data and store it for long periods of time or aggregate it with other types of data, then you are responsible for problems that arise from your databases. In the case of this doctor, if any problems happen to her patients from Facebook's disclosures, then Facebook is the liable party.

They can decide the level of safety required. Either transit the data for the users blindly and enjoy immunity like a common carrier, or inspect the data and pay for the problems that derive from that inspection.

> finding ways to convince people the problem actually exists

That's always a good idea, but in the meantime it is not the responsibility of the user to understand information theory before critiquing Facebook's claims. Blaming the victim is never the right answer.

What they ask of you:

Basically I have to build the product, do all devops work, mentor the team to make sure their work is up to scratch and manage the boss.

What you ask from them:

I just want to do technical work and solve problems for as long as possible.

What they need:

I think the company needs someone who is looking to move into a CTO role and comfortable with managing developers and business expectations.

Would it be fair for me to give notice now and leave?

Its not about being fair. Its about being human. You are not a robot. This is a mammoth task and the risk of burnout is very high. Your health is more valuable than any job.

Would I be passing up a great opportunity to learn?

A good learning opportunity does not come with such price of admission.

But what do I know?

I went through the same exact scenario (even using Django) and lost a great deal of time doing so. Life is too short. Better opportunities exist out there. Good luck!
Uglify has had many years to at least attempt to minify ES2015+. They just haven't—it's still an "experimental" branch in their repo: https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/issues/448

What kind of situations do you see this becoming a factor in? 5 or 10 years ago this was an issue with early cloud adopters. Now a days cloud providers are ramping up their DCs to be compliant and allow companies/government entities with strict policies to still onboard.

Its a good strategy but not one that I see being exercised frequently enough.
They have a specially negotiated rate with Ireland. (The crux of this issue is whether Ireland granting them a special rate was legal under EU law.)

Edit: Actually, "special rate" is a bit misleading, as it implies Apple went to Ireland and said "hey, we'd only like to pay .05% instead of 12.5%" and Ireland said okay. The way it actually works (as described in the previously mentioned Senate memo) is that ASI (the Irish subsidiary) buys an iPhone from its manufacturer in China at cost for $200, marks it up to $600, and then sells the iPhone to Apple Italy for $600. Apple Italy sells the iPhone to a customer for $600 and recognizes $0 in profit, while ASI records $400 in profit. But ASI claims to not be a tax resident of Ireland and therefore when it buys an iPhone from China and sells it to Italy, that transaction shouldn't be subject to Irish taxes since no economic activity actually occurred in Ireland.

Therefore, the only taxes that ASI pays Ireland are from transactions where they actually sold products in Ireland itself. In 2011 ASI recognized profits of $22 billion, of which $50 million occurred in Ireland, and so they only paid ~$10 million in Irish taxes on that $50 million, leading to an effective tax rate of .05%.

Storing money inside a corporation is actually something that happens a lot already. I'm not sure that's a problem, because eventually the money has got to come out of the corporation if you want to do anything useful with it, and it will be taxable then. There are countries that have a flat yearly tax on capital, which would be one way of getting at it, but anything you do would make money flee the country. In my opinion it's more fair, and easier, to tax a flow (labour, sales, pollution) instead of a stock (bank account).
I don't need to.

I live in Warsaw and live here is a lot cheaper than in Western Part of Europe. My clients are Canada / UK based and I charge between $50-$70/h so even 10-15 hours a week is enough to make living over here.
> "Tipping isn't obligatory" -- yes, it kind of is.

No, it really isn't. I've never been asked by an Uber driver for a tip, nor would I give a tip if asked. In fact, I'd probably dock a point from their rating.

Put the onus back on the company to pay an honest wage, and let everybody pay the same price for a ride (rather than tippers subsidizing rides for non-tippers).
It is fair to give notice and leave.

However difficult that turns out to be for the owner and the team, it may be be the best for everyone involved. You can mitigate this by helping steer hiring of the new developer as you seem to have a unique insight in to their needs.

It doesn't sound like you are planning to make management part of your career path, so I don't think you are passing on much.

I didn't think I had to clarify, but here we are. We were talking specifically about the "moral compass" of the car in (rare) situations where it had to choose between my life and others. When it comes to those situations, I think it should always choose to protect my safety.

But I guess I'll qualify my original statement: "within reason".
On-Premises is also "one less third-party service to manage". I work for a small company, and was asked to list the external services we use a couple of days ago, and the list went into dozens.

It's not the primary reason for On Premises, but it's one less thing to worry about: "our tech team has full control, instead of yet another company having some control that we can't see"

There is no tool that automatically rules this in or out as a possibility? I would have thought it would be nearly trivial to build such a thing. Am I missing something?
There really are pros to on prem.

There are cons, don't get me wrong, but to somehow claim that AWS is the end all be all of hosting choices is demonstrably wrong.

For example - You want to develop a financial exchange with a 100 microsecond average response time, peaks of 10Gbit traffic, and 5 9s of uptime. Do you host that on AWS? I wouldn't.

Another example - If I were a medium+ sized company (say 20+ employees), I would want my source control 100% on prem (excluding backup). Internet connections are too flakey, and Github gets DDOSed too often. I could not stake my entire business on github.
Not saying it shouldn't, but it should because qualified work can be paid more not because unqualified work can be paid less. Having an organized workforce that says "the minimum cost for full time work of any kind is a living wage" flattens it.
I experienced much faster load times. Perhaps it is because I use Chrome and Edge?

I know Firefox was terribly slow there (like it is with many script-driven websites), but I never dug into why.
I had the roles the other way around, but that was still exactly the point I was trying to make. So yes.
Yeah, every taxi/minicab company at any city in UK on Saturday night is like "sorry, there's a 2 hour wait" - and even if you do wait, nothing turns up. In the meantime, Uber is always instant, the longest waiting time I've ever seen with Uber was 10 minutes, even on the busiest time on Saturday night.

If you buy a 30MPG car your not going to actually get 30MPG as it will depend on your driving habits. However, it's based on a meaningful test so you can do meaningful comparisons.

As it stands an ISP can advertise 100 mbps service and fail to show Netflix streams when a 10 mbps connection on another ISP can easily handle 2 of them in HD. Thus, consumers need something meaningful.

PS: Picture trying to compare gas MPG if car companies could report MPG while costing down the side of a mountain. That's a perfect recipe for Honda to optimize the wrong things just like ISP's do now.
Already seems like it's happening to some extent. I've noticed the number of questionable vehicles and drivers creep up in the last six months or so.
Amazed that this 'feature' hasn't been killed yet. At this stage of Facebook's maturity, everybody finished adding their real friends about five years ago, and suggesting non-friends with tenuous connections to the user serves only to remind everyone what a privacy disaster Facebook is and generate bad press.
