It's not a class, it's a struct (as a value type), it's fine if you disagree with the idea of OOP, but don't come in with an incorrect assumption of how the language is actually used in the wild.

But sure, I would agree that having a natively implemented variant type would be better, even if this one can serve many of the same purposes.

Class = reference type, supports polymorphism, inheritance

Struct = value type, does not support polymorphism, inheritance

The variant type based on a struct is implemented through the language's metaprogramming facilities.

They're saying that the U.S. ISP companies have regional monopolies, and that net neutrality wouldn't be as much of an issue if there were substitute service providers per region.

This honestly isn't true, because if we had a marketplace for ISPs, most consumers would pick the cheapest option, which would probably be the one that subsidizes it's revenue from charging companies like Netflix. Some smaller companies that don't care about full market access wouldn't pay, and then you're at a tiered internet structure not unlike cable packages.

He's only saying it's a "red herring" because ISP monopolies and net neutrality are different issues.

If it wasn't effective, it wouldn't be a booming, reliable industry for decades.

The impact of converting one person to using your brand is huge. For things like clothes or shoes, the person becomes walking advertising. For things like food, the person probably has friends -- friends eat together.

It's a short term ad that is in reality a long term investment.
And, there is enough documentation where you can:

(1) Write your own custom deployer https://github.com/matsuri-rb/matsuri

(2) Write your own controllers https://deis.com/blog/2016/scheduling-your-kubernetes-pods-w...

Those two are just examples. My point is that if you need to dig in, you can. You can do this because those higher-level behaviors are built on a solid foundation of well-thought-out primitives.

What I expect to happen is that we will have a diverse set of things built on top of Kubernetes. Some of it will get folded into Kubernetes core. Some will not. I think the center of gravity for containers has been shifting towards Kubernetes.
If the segment includes a fashion editor/advisor from a magazine, the clothing and accessories featured are advertisers for the magazine, not paying GMA directly (to my knowledge).

I did a little freelance on the magazine side, putting packages together to show the fashion labels what coverage the magazine was able to get. I have know idea if this cost extra or it was more of a incentive to purchase bigger ad buys in the magazine. This was nearly a decade ago, but at the time I don't believe the morning shows were paying labels or the fashion consultants, it was more of a quid pro quo.
The issue primarily is that the only reason Apple set up such a large presence in Ireland, was for the advantageous tax arrangement. It's the same reason so many pharma companies have moved to Ireland, for tax haven purposes. Those pharma companies are typically owned by US capital, they do most of their research in the US, they gouge consumers in the US, they have most of their operations in the US, but they hide from taxes via Ireland. This ruling is likely to crush Ireland's economy by reversing the tax shelter flow.

>“A few bloggers we work with say, ‘I want you to know, my engagement on posts that are tagged “#ad” or “#spon” get lower engagement than if that wasn’t there.’”

This sums up the issue pretty well. The advertisers are acting like there must be some compromise where readers are both informed and engaged, and the reality is that knowing is what disengages them.

That might be something they can overcome through the quality of the paid content, but they cannot be allowed to overcome it by deceiving people.

Agreed! If the issue is Google and other tech giants feel their orchestration tools is being threatened by swarm, too bad. I fully agree with Docker Inc here. Innovation involves risks, and if you don't appreciate that, then don't use it. However, I do agree that more attention and more thorough testing should be performed before something is stated as being "production ready". Keep innovating Docker!
Melinda Gates: Computers Are for Girls, Too
Funny thing about Bob FM. I used to live in Austin, and I didn't believe in Bob. I went around complaining about how there wasn't really a Bob. One of my friends was the son of a guy who was in the radio business, and he used to try to convince me that there really was a Bob. I still didn't buy it. Some time later, my friend got married. At the wedding reception, he came up to me and pointed out a guy at the next table, well dressed, in his mid 50s. "See him? That's Bob." And it was. Bob is a guy who runs a robot-playlist radio station in the Austin area. (Or at least he was a wedding guest who was willing to play along with the ruse.)

The moral of the story is that there is a Bob. Probably.
Microservices are a great idea in principle. In practice, they require you to spend way too much effort (IMO) on:

(0) Serializing and deserializing objects. (At least if you're not using something like Erlang.)

(1) Validating things that would be considered internal invariants under a more monolithic design, simply because they lie on a service boundary.

Not to mention microservices constrain your API to what your transport (often HTTP) can readily express (which is often not much). If you're used to working with expressive languages, the expressiveness drop can be very annoying.
> While there are certainly exceptions (cough Kardashians) a heavy majority of influencers won't post about brands or products they don't genuinely like and believe their audience would be interested in. They won't muddy their name with a bad brand.

Other influencers also do not have the reach that they do, and consequently the payout is so much different.

And do you really believe their audience isn't interested in hair care products? I mean they make their own line of makeup...

I'm not defending the approach, but I feel like there's more strategy in the selection than that.
Your understanding may be in error. From NASA's historical files [1]:

Further, yes Ireland can set their own tax rate, however either has to be fairly applied across the board ie every company gets taxed at the same rate. A figure quoted today said Apple were paying £50 tax for every £1,000,000 profit. This is considerably lower than other companies in Ireland were being taxed at. This is the root of the problem here, not that Ireland has low taxes.
Oh, this is about security. :-)

I'm no astronomer, but as to the article's closing question, I imagine there's some unambiguous solution based on the relative locations of celestial bodies. For example, supply the angle between earth -> sun -> Mars, and however other many data points are needed. With enough angles, I think this would also establish location, due to the propagation velocity of information.

Did anyone play this game when it was out (not the recent reworked versions)? GameFAQs did not exist, nor did reddit, forums, or other places to discuss strategy and tactics for these sorts of games. There was however a hotline on the back of the instruction manual that you could call for hints - for a low low fee of course.

I remember thinking that the game designers were probably asked to make some of the puzzles frustratingly difficult so that a post-sale revenue stream could be realized.

I also remember playing through these games without the help of the tip hotline. Sharing ideas and discussing strategies with my family. It made for a very fun experience and a very rewarding feeling when you finally figured something out.

It also made for a very frustrating experience when you did something wrong or missed something along the way and had to go back to a very early save point to fix your mistake. I guess you could say that this was poor design but I still have very fond memories of the series.
You may not be able to immediately spot a bad CA, but the more major CAs buy in to CT, the easier it is to spot fraudulent certs through fingerprint reporting. SSL clients can then choose to have a side-channel trust revocation mechanism. Once adoption snowballs, the overall level of trust in the system will rise.

The other problem is that CAs need to be regionally confined in which TLD CNs they can issue certs for.
I'm not too familiar with the issue, but the idea would be that a free and competitive market for telcos would allow consumers to use the internet service that best hits their needs. If net neutrality is important enough, someone would make a telco company that is "net neutral" and customers would pay for that service over others.

The general idea is that a free market is more flexible and quicker to react than the government. It would be quicker to shape itself to the demands of the consumers. This could cover issues like net neutrality, antiquated infrastructure not being upgraded, etc. Prices would also probably go down.

I think this is an important issue alongside net neutrality. I also believe that some extra government regulation is necessary for utilities and essential services, so I'm not against government interference.

In general, the consumer benefits most when an industry has a lot of competition in it.
Don't show an actual password in your examples unless you want hundreds of people using it.
I find it refreshing, as a near-40 year old who's been in the industry for over 10 years, that there is finally movement against the absurd notion that one must spend more than a couple of years at most (or all) their jobs in order to be taken seriously.

There are two extremes. The one you point out leads to developers with lots of breadth and no depth. But the other is still the industry standard today: one that values depth in a particular (and possibly completely irrelevant outside of the company) domain.

I hope we keep moving towards the middle of the two.
>but it's done its job and gotten stuck in my head

But it has had the complete opposite affect. As much the charity might be a great and worthy cause, I will never support them and hope the fold simply so I don't ever have to hear that damn jingle again.
Appengine forces you to add those numbers when creating the domain. I've purchased the prettygoodpasswords.com domain but having troubles getting that work with the ssl certificates.

I am just one guy, and I'm not a web designer. So yeah, that would be the amateur hour design you sense.

Well, target market would be people who want something fairly simple, transparent, and not overpriced.

Obviously needs more work. Thanks for the feedback.
The key point about net neutrality is that it prevents the telco monopoly from becoming a key gatekeeper in deciding who gets to do what and how fast on the Internet. If they become that gatekeeper, all the consumer and producer surplus in mutually beneficial transactions between websites and consumers can be siphoned off by the telcos without adding any value. Just adding more telcos to the mix spreads the siphoning around, but still sucks the profits out of the websites who would otherwise be more likely to reinvest to produce better services.
This is what I completely fail to understand about Thiel: he says stuff like that, and then goes and says that democracy was a mistake, monopolies are the proper way to do business, and we need something more like a monopolist-monarch to run the place[1].

That seems like a very selective view on modernity which tries to embrace "science and technology" for the profits they can bring, while deliberately discounting what the many human sciences tell us about how humans can work and work together. Can you actually believe in, say, "human collective intelligence as distributed Bayesian inference"[2], while also wanting a world dominated by monopolists and dictators? I mean, for that matter, how can you claim to stand by science and technology while also being, quite publicly, an evangelical Christian, who thus rejects naturalism, the broadest worldview-level fruit of the sciences, in its entirety?

Swarm is simple to the point of naivety.

Exactly. To me, that approach is what allowed Docker to make containers on the laptop ubiquitous. Kubernetes is unlikely to be the tool that takes schedulers to that universe. Swarm might and I think that's the goal.

I mean, I don't really want to care about pods and replica sets. They're obstacles in between me and what I want when what I want is more horsepower behind an app. For the same reasons I probably am better off with garbage collection than malloc [1]. I've only got so many brain cells.

It seems like a lot of people simply cannot grasp the idea of the UBI at all. Half the time when I talk to someone new about it, they think it's Soviet-style communism and a centralized planned economy! It's utterly bizarre. It's such a simple concept: everyone gets a check from the government for, say, $1500 per month (the actual amount isn't really important, just that it's enough to live in an apartment with a roommate basically and afford you food at the grocery store). Then I get questions like "but lots of people don't want to live like that!". Answer: "Well, they'll get a job, just like they do now....". "Then they'll lose their benefits..." Or, "why would anyone get a job when they can just collect $1500/month doing nothing?" Answer: "Maybe because they don't want to live like a pauper? The same reason lots of people get a job now instead of just living off welfare?" And these don't seem to be stupid people either; we see them right here on this forum, people with degrees in CS or whatever, and simply cannot grasp this concept at all. Maybe we really are just dump monkeys with slightly oversized brains.

I do believe, however, that UBI really needs single-payer healthcare for it all to work. If they supply enough UBI for health insurance, the costs are going to be astronomical, or they'll have to tax the working people to death (which will make lots of them just quit and live off the UBI, which will break down the system). Something has to be done to rein in medical costs like they do in European nations for this to work if it's going to include medical care, and really, medical insurance should mostly be eliminated.

A Release Gone Bad: Learning to Slow Down and Think Under Pressure
Running "lint" tools on your code can be helpful for catching basic things, http://eslint.org/ is my favorite one for JS, I know ones exist for other languages.

After that, ask for code reviews. If you don't understand why the reviewer is suggesting a change, keep digging until you do.

Also, as partisan said, reading through the code from the other devs will be a huge win. Even if it doesn't follow "best practices", it will show you what's acceptable in your company which is arguably more important right now. And, again, if you come across something you don't understand, ask about it.

Oh, and you need loads of testing to help avoid regressions. Some manual testing is good, but you really want automated tests covering most things.

Interesting that you make the point about rent subsidies, we have those here to (but under a different name).

It has a really strange effect though of putting a floor of £450/month on almost anywhere (even the nastiest dive you could think of), but the sweet spot seems to be the next 25% up to £600. The difference between a really nice, new house, and a really crappy apartment in a bad area is about £100/month, solely because of the bottom on rents provided by the subsidies.

I suspect it's a really nice racket for modern day slumlords to be honest.

I was thinking the same thing. Assuming it's technically feasible I don't see this as being a huge problem. If your site is important enough that you can't have any downtime due to a CA revocation then you spend the extra time/money up front to get get cross-signed certs. If you don't care, then you just fix the problem when it comes up. If CAs start getting revoked more often then this will just become standard practice.

SaaS Pricing Strategy: The Ultimate Resource Guide
"the dramatic visuals are absent"

Some examples:

My mother is active and healthy and doing the grandma things after her heart operation instead of being a tombstone, and after the laser operation my MiL is not blind. I'm mystified how you'd even visually express that, but it is a pretty big change over the last 50 years.

Modern cars are horrifically ugly and character-less compared to my grandpa's cars, but they last roughly 10x as many miles and require far less than 1/10th the maintenance and get about twice the MPG and I'm almost certain to survive most car crashes (whereas in my grandpas day, a car crash was only about as survivable as an airplane crash). Its easy to express the bland ugliness of modern commuter cars visually, but how do you express that the hood may as well be welded down compared to the bad old days?

Columbus, OH is a big food test market. Why because it's got a large cross section of "middle america". If you can make something work here you can probably make it work anywhere. I think if more on demand companies were started here they could have adapted and/or blown up a lot faster. If you want a niche that caters to rich people go to NY and/or CA. If you want something the "average" american will buy try selling it here.
But at least you can cease further communications. Feel free to suggest a better idea.
Thanks for the thoughtful reflections. I'm glad I saw this.
> Von Braun never acquired a doctorate.

He earned a Ph.D. in Physics as a result of his post-graduate studies at Friedrich-Wilhelm University of Berlin in 1934.

There's certainly a regime connection, in that there was both a public portion of his thesis and a classified portion that was not published at the time, and that his research was military. But the idea that he didn't "acquire" (or, more specifically, earn through research) a Ph.D. but somehow had one bestowed as a gift by Hitler seems to be without basis.
This sounds like a bluff to me. "Oh, you want fast moving changes, mobility up the stack, and centralized control? We want none of those things. Either you soften your stance and start listening or we'll fork."
There's absolutely no economic rationale for space travel and colonization. If you have automation doing all the lower-end jobs, and no way of transitioning society past the current system where you have to work to support yourself, it's very simple: all these extra people will have to be eliminated. So we have 3 choices: 1) start up death camps and start transporting unemployed people to them for disposal, 2) undergo a violent economic collapse with food riots, uncontrolled crime, etc., or 3) institute a UBI. Only one of these is humane and rational.
