I don't know really what the legal penalty would be, but I can see why someone might take the fall for a company if the company offered some big incentives.
A big part is probably fashion.

Thin small, etc. fits better in small purses, weighs less, looks cuter in a female's hand.

Though I'm with having a rubber grip case instead of a slick one, probably save a lot of drops.. then again it would snag in ladies clutches and if worn would probably crease clothes...
First time I've seen Atlas. I'm immediately worried. If someone starts a company using this I presume it's subject to US laws? What does this mean:

1. For taxes? If I live in the UK and start my business with Atlas does the US get the corporation tax revenue or the UK (or a split of the two)?

2. For data security/privacy? Is the data I store now subject to access by the US government through National Security letters and the like? I believe that if I was storing EU citizen data I'm subject to privacy shield but all data would be more susceptible to US government requests. Is this accurate?

There's nothing aspiring about what you wrote. I think you're fine calling yourself a data engineer if those are the types of challenges you've been solving.

Don't sell yourself short or select yourself out of an opportunity (within reason). That's someone else's job!
The gpl is pretty much designed to maximize the freedom of the user by creating an environment where its impossible for to fork the work and keep it to yourself. Its even hard for the creator as he could end up competing with his work so far + the community.

Oh, I give them other reasons as well. I'm pretty quiet myself, I'm an immigrant, and my hair is blue. :D

Clearly you’re not capable of being happy doing nothing; otherwise, you would prefer it over anything else.
I've never understood this as an adult. It's fine to make someone else suffer because they did it to you? What reasonable person feels better because they see someone else suffer? What kind of logic is that?

> What if someone maims me, or murders a close relative, and I feel the only way to repair the harm I've suffered is to punish the offender?

Repairing private harms isn't the purpose of the criminal justice system, its the purpose of the civil justice system, where imprisonment and capital punishment aren't even options.

The criminal justice system exist to address (whether in a punitive, restorative, or preventive sense), harms to society as a whole.

> "Hurting criminals" isn't just done to deter future crimes, it's done to satisfy the needs of the victims.

Hurting wrongdoers to "satisfy the needs of the victims" doesn't do much to satisfy actual needs of the victims, but does create a society with a lot more victims and wrongdoers.
Yes! That's exactly it! I'm a 6' tall female and went to China for a couple weeks in high school, and, although I never made the connection, I had many of the same feelings there that I do in engineering. It's not so bad at first, but, over the years, it just sort of compounds and weighs down on you.
I uninstalled the desktop client because of this exact issue. I just drag/drop via the web interface now. Might not work for some people, but it suits me fine.

How does making it easier to incorporate a business make it easier to evade taxes than, say, it is for an individual to do under-the-table services/consulting and not pay income tax?
Any license that would allow you to take your fellow contributes work and add it to your own without requiring them to explicitly assign copyright to you would also allow a third party to make their own closed source fork of your work add improvements and sell it.
From Accelerando (great book if you're into this stuff)

"My name is Alan Glashwiecz, of Smoot, Sedgwick Associates. Am I correct in thinking that you are the Manfred Macx who is a director of a company called, uh, agalmic dot holdings dot root dot one-eight-four dot ninety-seven dot A-for-able dot B-for-baker dot five, incorporated?"

"Uh." Manfred blinks and rubs his eyes. "Hold on a moment." When the retinal patterns fade, he pulls on his glasses and powers them up. "Just a second now." Browsers and menus ricochet through his sleep-laden eyes. "Can you repeat the company name?"

"Sure." Glashwiecz repeats himself patiently. He sounds as tired as Manfred feels.

"Um." Manfred finds it, floating three tiers down an elaborate object hierarchy. It's flashing for attention. There's a priority interrupt, an incoming lawsuit that hasn't propagated up the inheritance tree yet. He prods at the object with a property browser. "I'm afraid I'm not a director of that company, Mr. Glashwiecz. I appear to be retained by it as a technical contractor with non-executive power, reporting to the president, but frankly, this is the first time I've ever heard of the company. However, I can tell you who's in charge if you want."

"Yes?" The attorney sounds almost interested.

"The president of agalmic.holdings.root.184.97.AB5 is agalmic.holdings.root.184.97.201. The secretary is agalmic.holdings.root.184.D5, and the chair is agalmic.holdings.root.184.E8.FF. All the shares are owned by those companies in equal measure, and I can tell you that their regulations are written in Python. Have a nice day, now!" He thumps the bedside phone control and sits up, yawning, then pushes the do-not-disturb button before it can interrupt again. After a moment he stands up and stretches, then heads to the bathroom to brush his teeth, comb his hair, and figure out where the lawsuit originated and how a human being managed to get far enough through his web of robot companies to bug him.
Why Your Hiring Process Keeps Missing Candidates' Character Flaws
With that logic you can blame a sales man for selling the car to a customer who planed to drive it in the US.

There is a undefined line between following orders and following the law.

The sales man does not know that it is illegal to sell the car. It is his own responsibility to not commit crimes. To not commit crimes one must know the definition of what a crime is. That definition can be found in the law book.
In the Law book one can find that the car in question is illegal to sell.

It would be very hard for him to find that information but it is still his responsibility.
I wasn't intending to praise it, just show that other languages did similar things more elegantly.

Also, in case you weren't reading carefully, I also pointed to Scheme's metacircular evaluator, which implements lexical scope, continuations (of which exceptions are a subset), and can implement defaults with relatively simple extension.

Let's say you've got five projects on the go right now. Maybe one of them hit it big enough to justify starting a company to wrap it in, so you run the other 4 under that umbrella.

Now project #3 hits it big, someone wants to buy, and you want to sell... Get ready for months of trying to detangle your various business assets, server accounts, etc. in attempt to legally and properly give them the bits they've bought.

There's similar advice under "What Does the Timeline Look Like?" here https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/selling_s...
I dunno, I've personally spent on average half a day (3-4 hours) with on-site interviews as a candidate. When on the other side of the table, it's been about the same (~3 hours). With a tractable enough problem, I think you can fit it into a half-day. You could also begin the design/research process as part of a phone screen, have the candidate further prepare on their own time, and then present/discuss as part of the on-site, along with the more in-depth technical stuff.

After you've run this process enough times, your interviewers will have a good grasp on the various solutions and technical problems. Most people's training on how to interview comes from how they themselves were interviewed - which was probably poorly done. Improve the interview process and you can train people to be better interviewers just by being interviewed. :)
Or you could keep multiple accounts, with just what you're going to spend in the next week or two in your child going account, and everything else in savings. You could still lose some money (hopefully to be refunded), by not enough to sink you.

How do you build credit history? Also, isn't it easy to dispute credit card transactions as opposed to debit card because with a debit card money is immediately removed from your account.
Love this part:
"When you have just enough crazy, you found a payments company, heedless of the fact that founding a payments company is doomed to failure because it involves
mountains of hard and boring work and the incumbents have billions of dollars."
> As an aside, you should never use a debit card online, ever, ever, ever.

For many people in Europe ( including myself ) the only other online option is a bank transfer, which also has the risk of loss of funds if you mistype the target account number[0]

The workaround for only having a debit card is to have it linked to a buffer account that only holds sufficient funds for the planned purchases.

If you pay your bill on time each month, you'll also never accrue interest. You don't need to waste time sending them a payment every day.
But it's completely subjective. How can you possibly qualify such a statement?

They'll probably sell you tax advice to avoid common pitfalls as a service (no liability assumed, of course) in short order.
You are probably then close to the middle of being an introvert vs. an extrovert. If you ask someone who very much considers themselves an introvert (like myself), the answer would be "I would SO much rather do boring solo work than sit in a boring meeting", and actually doing boring solo work would probably be the thing I most look forward to after a boring meeting.

If you ask someone who strongly identifies as being an extrovert, I think they'd answer the other way: after some boring solo work they're probably craving some human interaction, even if it's in the context of a boring meeting.
Yes, they published "Thoughts on Music" on apple.com arguing against DRM on music. Then they took the essay down, and now use DRM on streamed music (and they never stopped using DRM on video or ebooks).
Proof of eligibility to work is one's Social Security card, normally. You don't need a birth certificate for that. Now, if you want to make the Social Security card a valid ID for the purposes of voting...

Somehow, the outrage about voter identity fraud - which empirically is so low that reported cases are in double digits across the entire country - is when it's election time, and politicians of a certain bent suddenly find out that poor and non-white people, for some mysterious reason, don't really support to cut top income bracket taxes even further.
You're getting very close to the root cause - customers and even colleagues don't really care about the work that goes into the data. They care about the end deliverable, because that's what creates value for them, and fairly so. That gets at why data engineering as a discipline isn't (IMHO) very well respected.

I know this isn't reddit, so I'll point you to reddit. Check out /r/datascience where those folks talk about what it takes to be a data scientist. Some folks are honest about data engineering, but most handwave past it, or talk about it like it's beneath them. Their role would not be possible without solid data engineering, rather than a complementary and equally important discipline. Good luck doing "data science" or "analytics" or "machine learning" or every other buzzword without clean data, and for us data engineers, good luck ever demonstrating value without the analytics folks working with us.
That's certainly true. It's a good point. It also means that if we're discussing the elegance with which a language can be expressed within itself, Lisp is a reasonable comparison to make, to show the maximum elegance with which this can be done.
In the U.S., a law called COPPA creates additional requirements for websites that interact with children under the age of 13. So, to avoid those complications, Facebook sets their ToS to 13 and up, like a lot of other sites.

Thus it seems unlikely that they can admit that there are a lot of under-13 kids on their service, without creating the chance that some enterprising fed will take a look at their COPPA compliance. This will hopefully have the side effect of reducing the value of "for the kids!!" arguments.
If you're a cheating banker, you have nothing to fear, but if you're an engineer you will go to jail.

Here's the thing, this isn't really just a PUB/SUB queue. Their forex data example is disingenuous since it's a bad application of their product. For comparison, our market data stream via ZeroMQ using UDP multicast gets around 20 million msg/s (~15 gb/s) with <10 microseconds of latency. But we also buy very high end switches and NICs (that guarantee near-zero packet loss) with built-in redundancies. We use quorum and hardware fencing for fast failover. Even then our total network hardware cost is < $20k for 8 nodes. Our stream aggregator/producer and clients use fast serialization formats like flatbuffers that minimize dynamic memory allocations. JSON is suuuuper slow in comparison. We also use ring buffers designed to fit on a cache-line and bypass the kernel network stack (using DPDK). Fact is, if you're just aggregating logs there's no point in going through all this trouble. Nor will a cloud provider set up custom networking hardware just for you.

These high level messaging frameworks attempt to provide some degree of reliability and easy clustering out of the box while keeping things simple. For specific domains where performance is paramount, you can always find light-weight solutions that outperform them. For instance, with market data it's almost always better to drop a quote if it's out-of-sequence or got dropped somewhere than to add latency waiting for a retransmission. This simplifies things since you no longer need durability.
I'm in exactly the same boat as you with the caveat that I did look into and test DC/OS. It is too little too late. Also I see Mesosphere (as a company) more or less smothering the ecosystem very similarly to how Docker is doing with Swarm and the Docker ecosystem.

I went to MesosCon this year and the previous. Last year it was a really fun kind of scrappy conference. This year it was basically "buy DC/OS". Even the open source vendor booths all had "works with DC/OS" stickers. It reminded me of "Dell recommends Microsoft Windows XP Professional for the best experience" crap that Microsoft used to pull with OEM's licensing windows. I was really unimpressed. Whereas Mesosphere is adding hooks into mesos to add things like AAA (Authentication, Auditing, Authorization) and then implementing it as proprietary modules in their commercial DC/OS, It is native and open source in Kubernetes (thanks to Redhat contributing code from openshift).

So on one hand I see a young ecosystem being swallowed by a single vendor who is slowly squashing the community. On the other hand I see several vendors doing everything in the open and a huge community. With the technical capabilities of both quickly converging as k8s implements a lot of the things Mesos used to have over it, Mesos is becoming less and less "sexy" and more like a liability unless you want to roll your own everything like Apple did with their Jarvis scheduler for Siri.
There is income distribution going on and its to the upper elite who pay very little taxes. We have a regressive tax system disguised as progressive. So hedgefund manager can bring 8 figures of income but only pay 23%. That its the upper limit, when we actually get to see into the upper riches taxes they pay less. Take a look John Kerry's returns. 5.5M income and he only paid 15.5% in taxes. Its crazy we penalize earned income with a higher burden of taxes.
We had a lot of operational experience with Mongo from our previous jobs at Atlassian, and started out storing almost everything in Mongo. As we scaled out, we migrated all of our high volume data into other stores-- analytics into DynamoDB, searchable data into ElasticSearch, etc.

The last remaining piece is our core data, and there's no strong push to move it out of Mongo.
Apple – Don't Blink [video]
I think it's a stretch to say that tax payer funded services and social welfare programs are the same thing. The taxes I pay to fund my local police force and fire department directly benefit me. Their services keep me safe. Taxes I pay for social welfare programs do not necessarily benefit me. They benefit the recipient of the money. This is what is commonly thought of as income redistribution. You can make the argument that I'm effectively paying for an insurance policy, or that by supporting the recipients I am supporting the economy which in the end supports me, but the relationship is not nearly as direct.
There's little difference between the two phrases you're using.

More accurate models offer stronger explanatory or predictive capabilities. They answer questions earlier models couldn't.

Canada and Australia have really shameful legacies of mistreatment of indigenous people. Much of which happened while these two countries were legally and culturally part of the UK (Dominions). The UK has a really complex past full of its own great crimes against humans.

I agree with your larger part in that racism is a human problem. I don't think that acknowledgement serves to excuse anything the US has done.

toomim is correct. Upon reading the update, it looks like it pops an OS X auth dialog to update a file (TCC.db) which is used to bypass the normal restrictions on what the root user is able to do. This bypass is used to manipulate the AX config.

Lexical scope, in particular, is very easy to implement. Call/cc or exceptions are a bit tougher, but it can be done. And all defaults take is a bit of extension to the lambda. In fact, defaults can be added atop the language with a macros, as can keyword arguments. Macro expanders are a bit harder to write than the functionality itself, however. Especially if you want a good one.

Social networks pose a really interesting problem to the usual capitalist model

I wouldn't call the network effect so much a "really interesting problem" but more like "one of the many well known failure modes in the fantasy that market effects lead to the 'best' outcomes for any definition of 'best' that isn't tautologically defined as whatever market effects cause to happen."
It's still a lot better than not having the source. There are tons of other benefits too. The one downside is CPU cost to compile everything yourself.

I would recommend, as a general rule, not generalizing from your development experience to everyone's development experiences.

What's interesting here is that it's the exact thing happening. Someone asked about how much hidden cost there is from the time people waste fighting to make git do what they need it to do, and it got derailed with a discussion of how `git grep` is faster than `hg` grep`.

I'm sure it's great for you that git's grep is fast. But the time you gain from how much faster it is than hg probably is strongly outweighed by the time other people lose to struggling with git's interface. Unfortunately there's no easy way to benchmark that.
