Building from scratch since the early 80s. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that i've never really looked at my industry as a young man's sport. Young and dumb get chewed up and spit out on the first funding down-turn, which is about to happen again. They go out chasing shiney things, abused by ivy-leagues, and since they never had it to begin with, they don't come back. Seen it more that a few times so i'm not worried a bit.

So if your old and wise and still working congratulations! Maybe look back, if you can remember that far, and realize you've bern employed this entire time doing something you'd do for free if they didn't pay you.

Damm I love my job!

p.s. Remember the golden rule: Wait for critical mass, hijack, then do the same thing you did last time.

This argument doesn't make any sense to me. Neither Google or Facebook or Apple have been using cheap loans to fuel growth. They have more cash flow from operations than they know what to do with, they don't need loans.

> microservices is just decoupling by another name.... and you do not need a network-boundary to enforce this.

If code is decoupled enough that it can be separated into independent processes communicating over a network, that creates additional freedom into how the components can be deployed to (real or virtual) hardware, which is itself a kind of decoupling.

If you have processes communicating by local-only IPC methods or, even moreso, components operating within the same process, there is a form of tighter coupling than exists when the components are separate networked components.
It's almost like technology is constantly changing and advancing, weird. /s
> You honestly believe that an opponent won't take a 90%+ trial win rate into consideration when considering a settlement?

First, I'm a 7th year corporate lawyer.

Second, of course I would look at it. However, it would not be dispositive and I would likely discount it super, super highly. I have vastly superior data about the winnability of my case as a result of being the attorney on the case than I would knowing the 'win' ratio of my opponents law firm - which is almost totally irrelevant to the case at hand. Ceteris paribus, bad lawyering loses more cases than good lawyering wins cases. This in mind, the thing to know is whether or not your opponent is a bozo or competent. Regardless of your opponent's competence, you act as if he is at least as smart as you and I would litigate as hard against Ted Olsen as I would someone no one has ever heard of. The controlling factors come down to your client's budget, your opponents budget, the animus they have toward each other and, lastly, the facts.

Additionally, channel checks that I perform on opposition attorneys are far, far more sophisticated than algorithmically computed win rates. Maybe I'd use it as a data point, but the frank reality is that I have far better means at my disposal for judging the merits of a case and the efficacy of my litigation opponents including google, the phone on my desk and my judgment. Law is a very close-knit and reputationally driven profession. I do channel checks on opposing counsel frequently. It is an extraordinarily rare situation where I cannot get a second opinion, from someone who's judgment I trust, on another law firm or another lawyer when I really need one.

Finally, what is missing from this whole consideration is that law suits are not fair fights and they are highly fact and context dependent. Not every game has the same rules, the rules and the facts may be skewed. Does it matter if a particular NFL team is last in the league if they are going to be playing a HS JV team in freeze-tag? Accordingly, it is not like the win ratio of a poker player or a football team. The case itself very often is going to have a huge skew in favor of one opponent or another. If I had a winning case and you told me that my opponents were Abraham Lincoln's Zombie and Scalia's ghost, I'd still fight it.

Let's make an analogy: Let's look at batting averages as a predictor of general sports ability. But instead of confining the batting averages to major league players and major league pitchers, let's make it the life-time batting average of every American over the age of 18, for every game of stick-ball, alley-ball and beer league softball they have ever played in their lives, referreed or not, as a predictor of their ability to play "sports" generally, regardless of their age.

I think that is a fairer analogy to the 'win' ratio for trial dispositions.

I have literally never heard Elon mention another person who already worked at the company. I can find plenty of times he was announcing a key hire, like when they brought in Peter Hochholdinger. Every new feature, product, etc is announced by Musk. Which like you said is similar to Apple. I think similar to Jobs, Elon is at least significantly involved in a lot of details - and I think similar to Jobs he feels that since he was involved it wouldn't have happened without him.

Google isn't a good example in my opinion though, generally people besides the CEO announce their products, i.e. Google Maps was announced by Bret Taylor. Look at the history of Google and Microsoft and you will see tons of "xxx announces/introduces yyy". Tesla's entire history is "Elon Musk announces ..." (after teasing on Twitter for 5 months to keep the stock price up).

I don't think everything is bad about him. I think the thing he is amazing at is setting the vision for his companies - which is really valuable. It really seems like everyone understands the mission and where things are going and he's very clear about it. So I think he has good qualities, I just think he's also narcissistic, financially impulsive and unfocused.

@StabbyCutyou, how does Basho's choice of Erlang as the primary language affect it choice.

Question - given that they've condemned you to an awful carrier-grade-NAT, do they at least support IPv6?

I'm of the opinion that this is probably the future for all residential internet users - ISPs that put everyone on an IPv4 NAT so that grandma can still get her hotmail and yahoo, while hopefully providing unencumbered IPv6 access for everything else that requires a real network connection.

I go back and forth on the whole fluoridation issue. I personally think that a proper diet negates any reason to us fluoride, and ingesting it intuitively seems like a bad idea.

If they moved from Rails to Go, these people didn't need Rails at first place given how bare bone Go is.

Micro-services are something that should be an exception yet it is pushed as a rule by many influential developers, who won't be their to clean up the mess when it becomes obvious it wasn't the right choice.
Buying inside of Boulder is a bit insane right now, hell most of Colorado is, and it's just amplified by the lack of supply in Boulder (no new building for 20-30 some years I think).

4 Things to Consider When Running Social Media Campaigns About Texas Inmates
Title is inaccurate. Atlantropa was never meant to "drain" the Mediterranean, just lower the water level by 200m--compare to the current 1500m average/5267m maximum. Most of the original water surface area would remain, as the diagram in the article shows. Still pretty impractical, of course.
Capitalism without the corrective downward functions of capitalism creates scary unwieldy beasts. Moral hazards are very real yet the people who wished to avoid this in 2008-09 by letting them fail were called reckless (myself included) as austerity would have caused a ripple effect which hurts the incomes of regular people.

But instead of giving temporary safety nets to protect those regular people - while weathering the storm of a recession and rebuilding the system into something better, an evolution of sorts - the US gov went head and gave safety nets to the big corps and maintained the status quo of the last generation.

Which allowed the type of behaviour your talking about to flourish.

Basically the government and financial power players kicked the can down the road for the next generation to experience the effects of competitionless financial exploitation. The priority was (and is) valuing the financial industries short-term health over the organic growth of business, the flow of capital to things that create jobs (aka small/medium businesses which employ 90% of people), and long term wealth generation.

I personally don't find it surprisingly that it took 8 years for median incomes to rise again while the top tier upper class has been doing absolutely fine since the crash. This was by design of a liberal democratic administration.

Yet regular people are in no better position to deal with the next recession (particularly economically and to a lesser extent socially as US health care is slightly better but still embarrassingly bad) and the same people who caused the last one have likely been given better jobs, raises, and positions of power from which to influence on the next political administration.

Right. The post links to slideshow "model" for counterfactuals given at Hulu. And I won't pretend to analyze it scientifically, but it's hard to shake the feeling that it's circular in this application.

Can someone give a better lay-level discussion of the expected outcome model?

That's precisely why he is "disruptive." I'm not personally a supporter (for unrelated reasons) but I think he still has a chance in the election.

IMHO if Trump were to openly and directly attack the culture war (and ditch the crypto-racism) he could win in a landslide. A line like "last year X million gay Americans lost their jobs for the same reason Y million straight Americans lost their jobs..." would basically nuke the entire American electoral landscape into glass.

I recently moved back to the area from NorCal. Initially, 40% of my income was going to rent for a studio on the outskirts of Boulder. It's insane. Now I live with my SO and thankfully that's down to around 15%. I can't even imagine finding a place to buy now.
In the long term, maybe it's a fantastic idea. But in the short term, the economic damage of all those ports suddenly ceasing to be ports alone, to say nothing of all the other disruption, probably means the idea fundamentally has too high an activation energy to happen in any forseeable future.

Go to CA Marketplace and get the highest-deductible plan you can find (it will be the cheapest plan as well). You'll be paying out-of-pocket for your doctor visits, but that's what you want to be doing: the plans that meaningfully offset routine medical costs cost more than you'd pay just doing it out of pocket.

If you're both male and you have no prior health history of any sort, you can also go direct to Kaiser, Anthem, Blue Cross, &c and buy private insurance. There will be a medical questionnaire to fill out, and it'll take a little while to be approved, but it will ultimately be cheaper than the marketplace plan.

However you do it, do it carefully and follow up with your provider to make sure you're enrolled properly. Ours screwed up a bunch of stuff (both enrollment and billing) and we have some horror stories about the results.

> I'd like to ask a question in response ... why shouldn't they throw money at such candidate

Because they don't see that candidate. Your indication that your email was sufficient implies a few underlying assumptions which may or may not be true: a) They have enough staff to actively monitor this mailbox for submissions, b) there aren't too many useless submissions that make it unlikely the staff will be able to find the useful ones, c) that even if the staff exists, it doesn't require some bureaucratic hurdle to be met so it can be allocated to this use, d) that the staff assigned to monitoring this source is capable of assessing your accomplishments and how they relate to the grant in question.

Since there is a grant process, I think it's likely that whatever resources they do have are allocated towards assessing entries that come in through that process. There's probably more than enough work to be done in that department, such that monitoring mailboxes for the odd useful non-conformant applicant is not a priority. Even so, I assume if the stars aligned and someone happened to see the email, and knew the applicant was uniquely qualified or had time to research the person, then it's likely it might be followed up on (depending on how much interest that person had in this particular grant or field).

The important thing to consider in this is that none of these scenarios have anything to do with how qualified the applicant is. Taking issue with them not persuing you in this process when I think it's likely your application may have never even seen human eyes seems an odd response to me. The little information I have to go on makes it sound like you did the equivalent of applying for an engineering position at Apple by walking into the nearest Apple store and dropping off your resume. I'd expect about the same level of success with that. Sure, the store manager might pass it on, or know someone who is interested, but really, that's not their job or responsibility.
