Bad for whom? Those benefiting from the negotiation results?

The problem is that with secrecy the latter has historically tendend not to be the public who the negotiators are supposed to represent. See TPP or if you're from EU/Canada see CETA for the rewards of secret negotiations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Economic_and_Tra...

Once trust erodes in the state these leaks tend to happen such as in the Iraq war post WMD debacle with the Manning leaks, or NSA preceding Snowden leaks, outcry over TTP negotiations, etc, etc, there is a real positive incentive in transparency over the benefits that come from secrecy. Otherwise the government has a habit of losing sight of whose interests they are supposed to be representing.
The entire details of the exploit are apparently in a 37 page writeup which is yet unreleased. So it's safe to assume that it is requisite on a very specific chain of events that are more likely to happen in an OS like ChromeOS where there are a lot fewer simultaneous actions. Additionally, ChromeOS' multiprocess model means that you don't have to worry nearly as much about those other actions, because the allocators are probably going to be running according to your assumptions.

Response 1: because ignoring things with potentially existentially negative results is the functional equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting
'LA LA LA LA LA'. Response 2: many (most?) people have a tiny little voice in the back of their head that whispers "Jump! Jump!" whenever they're close to the edge of a roof, cliff top, etc.
A large amount of people disagree, but what has come out after the vote has shown than an even larger segment voted because they were intentionally lied to and confused about the actual contents of the agreements.

It was actually pretty funny, because the leader of the NO campaign gave an interview boasting about how they had successfully conned the country into thinking that gender ideology gay marriage and other subjects were being voted for with the agreements (they estimated that over 2mm evangelical christians voted No because of this), and how by lying on social media they managed to execute an incredibly cheap political campaign. He was removed as campaign leader the next day and the opposition quickly distanced themselves from him by pretending his role was minor, since he is also pending penal investigation and will probably go to jail, since under Colombian law intentionally lying to the electorate to change the outcome of an election is punishable by law.

This was the actual interview:

The issue is that some people can spend just enough hours to make it LOOK like they really understand enough, when in practice, they have wide breadth, but not anywhere enough depth to do the job well. When the startup becomes mid size, suddenly you have a spaghetti codebase with unfortunate tradeoffs, a wide infrastructure full of hard coding that badly attempts to mimic the state of the art of 5 years ago, and one nine of reliability.

All of this is of course undocumented, so when you bring in new people, they take forever to learn the existing system, as nothing resembles good practices. As those new people try to clean everything up, they look far less productive than those people that have made this gigantic mess in the first place, and then everyone wonders how they got so lucky with their early, uberproductive employees, which seem to be so much better than anyone else.

If the startup has a good economic situation, they might survive while compounding the problem by overhiring (I am sure you all have heard the stories). If the finances aren't quite as good, then the startup folds.

I see roads out of this, but they all pass by different early employee compensation: A good early employee is not a good employee in a midsized company, but stock options don't work all that well when early engineers should be leaving the company 3 years in, before exercising the options makes any sense.

However, his excuse for not surrendering to Swedish law enforcement is that the U.S. could extradite/rendition him while in Swedish custody. Considering multiple U.S. officials have declared him an enemy of the U.S. and (including, allegedly, Hillary Clinton) even called for his assassination, it's perhaps not necessarily excessively paranoid.
They did solve this: they have expansion regions at the stations (ends of the tube) and the tube is allowed to slide freely within it's supports.
Not to take from noob experience but google just has less features and services. When/if they have as many it will be similar mess. It's already getting there. Also, you could import your own key in aws. Though I agree that aws could benefit from global settings across regions like keys, cloutrails, config and so on. With more regions coming up it becomes unnecessary noise to manage each region separately.

Some early startup roles should vest out in 2 years instead of 4, or (what I'd do if I ever worked for a startup again) have a single ratchet provision where, if you decide you don't need my role anymore, the role has changed dramatically, etc, the remainder of my options vest immediately.

Life lessons are learned the hard way.
I made a quick hack to demonstrate this a few years ago. I didn't maintain it and couldn't find another developer to take over, so it doesn't work anymore. http://devesh.github.io/SuperShareBox/
TL;DR: You can basically do 8 operations at once (but of course, it's not that simple).

Think about a normal 64-bit register: you can add and subtract 64-bit numbers, OR and AND them, etc. Now think about a 64-byte register. What could you do with that? Well, suppose you're looping through contiguous memory and changing each word AND the change that your making to each word is independent of the change you make to any other word. With a normal 64-bit register you'd have to do one operation on each word. But with a 64-byte "register", you can load 8 words into it and do just one operation for the same effect as applying that operation 8 times (once to each word). Thus, some code---vectorizable code---can be sped up nearly 8x.
> Personally, I can't imagine having the expectation set that I need to be on call, and work on code commits with deadlines, while debugging networking issues in production.

"sorry about the deadline, I had to make the fine network work" gets you out of making deadlines.

The nice thing about being on call for your own code is that fixing your stuff at all hours is a natural consequence of writing fragile stuff. The not nice thing is that not all of the reasons your stuff breaks are your fault and some issues aren't realistically preventable.

"that doesn't say PHP is good" - what are you trying to say here? That they hate PHP but keep working with it?

You see, that's a hater's logic.

Every PHP's advantage or eviddence you've given, you are trying to dismiss or even twist, calling it a disadvantage - usual tricks for the internet discussion when you aren't interested to find the truth but just to keep pressing with your opinion.

Honestly, this kind of discussion is the only problem with PHP.
You could argue this about so many scientific endeavors: the heliocentric model, the search for extraterrestrial life, climate change, the theory of evolution, the big bang theory, etc. These all had serious existential effects on society but society has also benefited greatly in other ways. I don't see why clarifying the nature of reality with regards to simulations would be any different.
Causality is a tricky thing (see Pearlmutter et.al); often people jump on the most socially-salacious (Latin salire ~ "leaping") explanation, after the fact, probably because it is at that moment, the best available instrument for change.
A (very) slightly more practical way to look at: what happens over a hundred elections where Nate Silver reports a 80% lead for one candidate three weeks out? If that candidate wins about 80 times then the model is good. What you want is infinite (or many) actual historical elections and then just look at the ones where the model gives 80%. A good weekend project if you have a universe simulator lying around.

Edit: this is what "under a stationary distribution" means. It means holding everything that goes into the model, such as the polls, constant, while allowing everything else to vary, then you run the experiment many times. The easy way to do that is just let Nate Silver keep doing his thing for a few centuries.

> I'd read this as "In excess of their expected appearance rate"

That's a successful rhetorical technique.

It's been pretty obvious for a number of years that his endgame is whatever Putin dictates. This election has simply made it harder to deny that Wikileaks operates as a front for Russian intelligence, but the evidence was there years ago. Their deep involvement in the Snowden affair and their steering him towards Russia and arranging for him to obtain Russian travel documents to that end should have been a much bigger story than it was at the time.
> Bad for whom? Those benefiting from the negotiation results?

Bad for everyone involved. Not every deal is bad, and deals often can happen only because good gets packaged with the bad.

If every negotiation happened in public, no nations would ever be able to sign agreements with one another. That's a recipe for paralysis and disaster.

Following a guide online and getting something online is different from running something in production that a company relies on. Learning a infrastructure piece thoroughly can take months alone in resilience testing, failover testing, and system design/architecture choices.

It's a huge fallacy in the infrastructure side of things that because something "works" means it's setup correctly, and that couldn't be further from the truth.

You'll get an environment built on technical debt. Outages will occur and you'll be playing sysadmin full time before long. You won't be a developer at this point anymore, you'll be the sysadmin/ops role of your company.

!= "Trump brags about sexual assault" (implying guilt)

Where did I say that I had simply "followed a guide online" instead of "putting something in production."

Like I said in my original comment, I have been the primary on call engineer for multiple projects with millions of users.

Despite that, I still find time to develop new features and push the product forward. Yes, I occasionally deal with outages/failures and have to write some new automation to remediate them. But that doesn't make me a full-time sysadmin.
