I looked into the PE model after meeting a VC firm GP who wanted to find a way to crash that model into the VC model. Dave explained the formula real well but I've also see that a PE firm will sometimes try and raise additional debt financing to grow the business after it purchases the business with debt. Basically the wager is that they can fuel growth (sales) quickly and sell out for a high enough multiple that they make a ton of money in a relatively short period of a few years.

This works in the PE world because these are businesses that have credit and can get debt financing. The typical VC backed company can't get debt financing because they are too risky (early stage) for a traditional lender. That basically but an end to that VC's plan.
I agree with you that lock-in is a big motivator here. It's always been king in the software space. As you point out, k8s exists as a public project specifically to diminish AWS's lock-in and make it simple to deploy out to other cloud providers (Google Cloud specifically).
It's implied in the article. It mentions many mounting problems in stability, including nobody was dedicated to working on it. Implies a lack of QA. I based my claims on the article's. If those claims were mistated, then any of mine drawing on them wont apply of course.

Just reads like a lack of QA in general with most correctness effort focused on protocol design itself.

Oh I see, even if the link quality is crap. You have the high enough bandwidth to recover.
`scons` is very easy to start with:

Program("main", ["main.cpp"])

The problems start once you want configure stages, build directories, portability and install targets, as all of those aspects are extremely lackluster and incomplete in `scons` and you have to reinvent large parts of the build system yourself essentially for anything even mildly complex.

`cmake` is much better. The language itself is ugly and takes some getting used to, so it's a little more complicated to get started with then `scons`. `cmake` generating `Makefile`s instead of actually building the project itself also adds a layer of complexity. But once you understand the basics it's much easier to get a fully functioning build going, including configure stages, build directories, portability and all that, as cmake has all of that integrated and working right out of the box.

`cmake` feels like a complete build system, while `scons` feels like a good start for a build system that was abandoned at the halfway point.

I still use plain `make` for some Python projects (mostly .PHONY targets to run `pylint`, `autopep` and friends), but for everything that needs to get compiled `cmake` is much easier to use than plain `make`, as you don't need to reinvent a build system yourself, it already comes with almost everything you need.
Some do... in the form of scaling bonuses based on peer review, overtime used by salaried positions, and overall contribution to the company. Essentially a pool of money is set aside based on how well the company performed for that quarter. That's your "upper limit" just like there are 365 days in a year for vacations.
Great work! To contribute to Python, would you say it's necessary to be comfortable with writing C code?
Certainly it's worth clarifying that saying that many people need more than one dose doesn't mean that Auvi-Q shouldn't have to "guarantee" that their device delivers the dose that it is intended to.

There are some things that can be done to improve the effectiveness of EpiPen/equivalent administration - while the product is designed to be able to be used through clothing, it is better to be removed where possible. Due to the dosage size, post injection site massage is recommended for better uptake from the muscles.

When to administer is also another question - arguably by the time the patient is in significant respiratory distress, it should have been administered earlier. This can be a balancing act between a 'sensitivity' and anaphylaxis. Realistically, as soon as there is a deterioration into multi-system response, Epi should be administered.

Certainly, other than cost there's no real motivator for the lay person to need to be trained to draw up epi into a syringe. But in terms of ambulances / medic units who stock epi (typically used in cardiac arrest), the requirement to stock EpiPens is an unneeded redundancy, and an expensive one at that.
To paraphrase someone smarter on these issues than I am: NSA's adversaries spend more on coffee than Cisco does on product security. When vulns like the ones we've seen are used on public networks, they are disclosed.

The question isn't whether they're disclosed to vendors. It's whether they're NOBUS flaws. Schneier is suggesting NSA views them as NOBUS. They do not.

If you have a stable codebase and infrastructure you can probably still keep using them, if you rely on their technical services heavily I would start looking around. I expect most of their good people won't be there for much longer.

We need to find a way to decrease the time and cost of introducing new drugs to market so we can disarm the argument these drug companies have about needing insane profits to fund research.
This would definitely help foreign founders but after they have founded the company in US since 3 years. That initial period of founding a startup is the most difficult part for immigrants in USA as their visas are tied to employer (like H1B).

So would this "startup visa" help in anyway in that initial stage of founding a startup?

I use KeePass with Keepass2Android (which has Dropbox integration), and Firefox Sync. You can log in to Firefox Sync and all your passwords will be there with you, but the canonical storage is KeePass. If I'm at a resetting computer, I just type it by hand from the mobile phone. It's not quite as convenient as using one password for everything, but it's a little bit less convenience for orders of magnitude more security.

I agree. I don't get all these little rules for getting the best deal on a new car. It seems like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic in terms of financial health.

You can get a much better deal by just buying a used car. Try saving 90%, not 20%.

When comparing to the cost of a new vehicle, it's very hard to spend more on an older used car no matter how badly you screw up. Even if you have to (or choose to some degree to proactively) immediately replace just about everything but the engine you're coming out way ahead compared to new cars. In fact, you can probably replace the engine too and still spend less.

I know some people like the idea or feeling of new, but that's all it is: an irrational feeling, not one backed up by data in terms of a new car being more reliable than a well maintained older one (obviously a poorly maintained car will be less reliable regardless). In fact I feel safer in a well maintained car that's been around long enough that any major recalls, etc have already mostly been found and suffered through by the guinea pigs who insist on buying new.
It's one of many ways they are probably trying to find people. Seems worth a shot to me.

The sponsors of the legislation did think hard about this obvious issue and believe they've addressed it (I talked to several people involved). They learned a lot from the EB-2 and EB-5 visa processes, which were sometimes abused by people who weren't really here to create viable businesses. Do you have more specifics about what you think they missed?
No, not necessarily at all -- there's a ton of pure Python code in the standard library, so if you're adding to or making improvements there, no need to know C. And then there's documentation and other non-code issues too.

"War,” writes von Clausewitz, “is an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfil our will…This is the way in which the matter must be viewed, and it is to no purpose, it is even against one’s own interest, to turn away from the consideration of the real nature of the affair because the horror of its elements excites repugnance.”

Allegations that Chompsky was unfair to Dan Everett?

Dan Everett is a primarily media-phenomena and fraud (in a whole variety of ways). His claims about the Pirahã has been debunked at this point. The main thing is that Everett used the tactic of presenting himself as an outsider challenging a "great" man (who naturally has many enemies).
In considering Everett's dubious claims, take into account that Everett isn't an expert on tropical languages but a missionary who got an impression of one language and leverage this into an entire career.

Oh, wow. I find myself equally glad and sad I missed this when it was originally happening. It's exactly the type of community meta-analysis and naval gazing I seem to be drawn to, but really isn't very good for me. :)

> The most interesting thing to me is that there are often multiple conflicting "echo chamber" claims in flight, with each side feeling like the lone outcast.

Confirmation bias (specifically confirmation bias on bias) + terse domain specific terminology (of many different dialects) favored by members for it's efficiency of expression and the subsequent loss of some implications by those less versed in that DSL + normal communication inefficiency in expressing thought = arguments where both sides are mostly in agreement + tendency to attribute opposing positions more strongly or more often then they actually exist.

> Perversely, this might mean that accusations of being an echo chamber is a good metric for diversity of opinion.

I think the contrapositive might be easier to rely on. No accusations of being an echo chamber probably means there isn't enough diversity, while accusations indicate that there's at least enough diversity for people to form a perception that there is an echo chamber, whether there is one or not.
I would have thought that interns being paid 80k is more of a sign than product managers being paid more than engineers.

This is a great step forward. I actually like the idea of parole rather than a proper visa upfront. First, get entrepreneurs to US and let them show their skills. If they succeed, they can always apply for GC directly through the existing outstanding skills category or take an investor visa.

5 Big Mistakes Businesses Make That Harm Their SEO
It actually is likely the opposite. Many viruses deliberately avoid checksumming and error correcting, as that's how it generates better modular parts - through errors and variation. Some viruses like HPV actively shut down their host's error-correction equipment, so that they may be more effective (why HPV infections greatly increase chance of cancer). If you have a multi-part system where your factory is producing literally billions of variants of each, and you want better parts, one way to do that is to have each part be slightly different. Those that naturally work best together will go on to be more, well, virulent.

Another casualty of our idiotic patent laws meeting our idiotic health care laws. Every single law is designed to improve profits at the cost of lives and in America, most people are totally ok with that despite what the article claims. Then they justify it by saying that we wouldn't have companies to make drugs if we forced them to have reasonable prices. Our idiot legislators really think that you can get rid of drug dealers by keeping prices high? I cannot imagine such just cruelty and hate driven by greed. If the patent program ended tomorrow or was severely reduced in scope (duration of patent), we'd have so much competition (and therefore affordable prices) in this space, it'd start to overshadow our current tech explosion. If we allow Medicare to negotiate prices, we'd have much more affordable prices.

The judicial death penalty we impose on criminals might be defendable ethically, but the death penalty we impose on our own citizens due to greed and cruelty is indefensible, cruel, and monstrous. Just so a few beyond-rich people can get even richer. Disgusting.

Wealthy foreigners have other/better means to get residence.
If you don't mind me asking, What is your use case? The company that I work for is also spinning up and destroying containers constantly and we've had to develop a "spinup daemon" in order to deal with docker's slow spinup time (1-2 seconds is unnacceptable to me).

I'm curious if it'd be worth it to create some shim layer over runC (or adding the functionality) in-order to have a copy-on-write file-system that could be used to discard all changes when you're done with the container. Similar to how you can do a "docker run --rm -v /output:/output/34 mycontainer myapp" and all changes except those within the mounted volume get thrown away.

The use-case at my job needs the security of SELinux + CGroup/filesystem/network isolation. At a first glance, it looks like runC may handle most of the containerization bits, but not the copy-on-write filesystem stuff that I currently need. :s

6 SEO Hacks for Small Business Owners
All I can think about after reading that is how to create some set of logic gates for data transfer. What if different combinations of the parts of a virus could be formed into different actual viruses and produce a single new output variant.

For Example, you could combine 00, 01, 11, 10 and then the two part virus would output the result of a NAND operation. We could have naturally occurring computations in nature.

Each mosquito could be seen as a single "cpu" and it's output would be to infect another mosquito. Not sure how you'd collect all the results though, or how you'd not just have endless cycles... perhaps the life of each individual cell could be encoded in DNA/RNA where two virus parts can only come together if their DNA/RNA has the same "clock cycle" encoded (similar to lamport/vector clocks).

I assume similar to the way radar detector-detectors work. Superheterodyne receivers mix incoming RF with an internal signal to make a much lower intermediate signal they can tune to. The device will leak some of the internal signal and you can detect it.
You could already disarm that argument by looking at the numbers. Pharmaceuticals as a whole are one of the most profitable industries and their spending on R&D as a percentage is not that high. They spend much more on marketing.
