In fairness, I could launch EC2 instances as a whole about 10 years ago so the whole of GCP is recent. (Good job on it though, quality is a differentiator)
Back in high school, we took a tour of the Savannah River Site (this was allowed in the late 70's). We saw things mostly by driving by in a tour bus, but we did get to go into a few buildings, and try out a remote manipulator system (harder than it looks to get good with it).

The relevant part was the waste processing area, which had a smokestack (presumably for power). Painted eighty or a hundred feet up was a large stripe. The guide said that that was how deep they were going to bury the building once it had reached end of life.

Having just watched "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" I could imagine a future where explorers go down the stack because they were attracted by the 50+ feet that would remain above ground. Curiosity is hard to fight.

It seems somebody reversed this Intel scrambler at least to some extent (I only skimmed the article):

They suggest that the scrambler is reseeded randomly on every power up so it may be hard to control raw bits on the data bus.
I am pretty sure that the client sharing salesforce login information was against salesforce agreements. That should be made clear to upwork and hopefully they investigate. Whether developer works with upwork anymore or not IMO it is very important to set the record straight even if this takes a while.

On the blog post, my 2c (not as a criticism, but as an opinion with 20/20 hindsight).

1. Shadi should have moved away from the client cleanly and quicker. When he heard that they are not going to pay at his rate / "not even our CEO makes that" and as he already had strong indication that it is not working out it would be better to apologize and move on (use "sorry, my rate is fixed" as a perfectly good excuse).

2. Give more time to upwork to investigate. They obviously value clients more than developers, so first reaction is to go with the client in a dispute. Escalating to the people who do not have to follow a standard script can take weeks. By posting "upwork sucks" too early he burned the bridges and made any real investigation highly unlikely.
Thanks, this pretty clearly answers the question.

I suppose the assumption you make is that the death penalty is meant as a deterrent. My world-view is that the death penalty is a form of punishment for serious crime. It is not meant as a deterrent, not meant as some "lesson" for others. And I, personally, see no problem with it as a form of penalty to be payed by some. (I also reject Blackstone's formulation)
“No, I'm the ex-CEO of Reddit because eventually there was too much bullshit.”
I've been admittedly cavalier about the whole thing and have not had any issues yet. The process typically looks like this:

1. I bid on the project and in my opening message I write that I'd love to learn more about the project/client and am available for phone/Skype call. I'm finding more and more jobs that already request a quick Skype "interview" so that's fine by me. I've never been flagged (to my knowledge) by Upwork for providing my email or Skype name in Upwork messages.

2. 9 times out of 10 I end up redefining the project scope based on my conversation w/ the client. As an action item coming out of the call, I always tell the client I'll send them a 1-pager task summary with anticipated fees and timeline via email (which takes our communication off Upwork).

3. In that 1-pager, I have a standard payment section which includes non-Upwork services like paypal, venmo, etc. At this point it's about feeling the client out. I'm not actively trying to screw Upwork, but their new pricing is just ridiculous, so I'm also not too concerned about ethics here either. I've yet to have a client get offended at the thought of completing our transaction off Upwork's platform, but I also don't push the issue if I feel hesitation.

4. Also as part of my standard payment policy is 50% payment upfront with 50% upon completion. To this day I've only been left out to dry by a client once and it was only about $650. For projects with very large fees, I'll sometimes split the final 50% up into 25% at a certain mile marker and then 25% upon completion.

I should mention that I only work with growth/marketing/content jobs, typically strategy > execution. I also put a lot of stock into my ability to suss out job owners, though I'm fully aware that instincts can bite you in your ass.

The reason I used Trump as an example is because from what I've read and seen of Clinton she doesn't seem much better but is largely ignored in some media outlets in Australia.
I've participated in Independent, Republican, and Democratic campaigns. The US system at the local level (at least Houston, Austin, and central east Texas) is actually pretty solid. Once you realize there's a fairly good sized contingent of busy-bodies who just want naked power, regardless of political position, it's pretty easy to see how things work. OTOH, the state- and federal- levels felt fairly divorced from their contingent. Except for the platform "branding" they're virtually identical. This is the reason I think it's so important to keep as many of the functions of the state at the local level, with rational oversight from the top in terms of protecting positive rights, i.e., restrictions of the powers of government.
Article misses the hyperinflation of the 20s and the capital markets in the 50s.

By the time the cold war made it apparent that 20s style economy destroying reparations would not be paid, renting was already baked into the cake.

Residential real estate is non-productive and post WW2 Germany had not use for a capital drain if anything they needed capital along the lines of the Marshall Plan so its not like anyone was interested in wasting capital in a modern USA style housing bubble.

> How can that possibly be true? A web app can appear in a search engine. A native app's website can appear in a search engine and in a platform App Store.

Because when I come across a web app in a search engine, I can click it, use it instantly, evaluate it, and decide to stay or leave, all within seconds. No checking if the app I found supports my platform, no click-through to my native app store, no download and installation process, no delay, instant feedback.

> because "clear your cache and reload the page" has been said by no frustrated support/technical staff, ever?

Not sure I follow. Are you asserting that native apps are easier to update than web apps?

> If your browser on your platform is supported. And you have the right version.

The combinations are smaller than the combinations of operating systems and phones one would have to worry about.

> This is a joke, right?

Do you think only web apps communicate with servers?
I think the problem is that it's very hard to figure out if the developer you are hiring is skilled or not ... And if you do not know whether you will get crap or hight quality, you don't want to pay the premium.
I'd also suggest that it's not just scale; the kind of reliability Facebook needs is fundamentally different than what a bank needs. Broadly speaking, Facebook needs the site to keep working as well as possible even if some subservice fails, and a bank needs a subservice not to fail. I'm summarizing here and I know it; clearly neither of them is actually on the absolute extreme end, as Facebook needs authentication to work and a bank may not care if the interest rate display widget on their customer banking app fails to load a couple of times. But I'd still suggest there's enough difference between the requirements to be a fundamentally different domain.

Even in "the cloud" things differ between services. A social media app has very different reliability requirements than a backup cloud.
So in Germany, the interest on a mortgage is non tax deductible. The article doesn't mention it but I understand that property owners are also liable for capital gain tax if they hold the property less than 10 years.

I think that makes sense. There is no reason to favor individuals investing into an unproductive investment (property) over productive investments (stocks and bonds, which enable companies to raise money to start new projects, create jobs, etc). Over-borrowing to bid the maximum amount one can to buy a nineteenth century house doesn't create any job for anyone, it just transfers wealth to the hands of the seller.

> "Any Nexus device can be reflashed to a custom Android build for example. Of course you void your warranty that way."

Maybe in the USA you do (I'm not sure about consumer protection law there), but in the EU you certainly don't. The law states clearly that: It's up to the manufacturer to prove that the unintended software modification caused the hardware problem.

So, if your software modification doesn't pose any problem, or even in the case it does, if it doesn't affect the part of the device you are asking to repair under warranty, then the manufacturer has to make the repair under warranty.

As far as I know, there were two new things that came along with the iphone: multitouch capacitive screen and 3g data plans that were actually worth using because apple threw their weight behind negotiating with the carriers. A few generations later, the iphone app store was a huge achievement too. All of those were huge, but there are also a lot of other innovations associated with the iphone that were actually around years before.
I see a lot of people put Varnish into their stack, but mostly to serve static files, which feels like a waste - Nginx can handle that fine for most people's stacks, I'd imagine.

For really high traffic sites where static assets are off-loaded to other servers, I wonder if Varnish even makes sense (versus an enterprise solution with edge servers across the world).

Using Varnish to cache http request that are returned from your code (e.g. the HTML returned from an application) is where I'd imagine you'd see the highest gains. However, that gets pretty complex, especially when dealing with cookies for logged in users.

What I would find really useful are guides on getting utility out of Varnish, rather than just "cache http responses" - for example:

* Ability to do cloudfront/s3 style signed-requests to create temporary or one-time downloads for authenticated users

* Cache OTHER PEOPLE's API's that your site calls out to, especially if the other API doesn't change often. In this scenario, your app would call on a Varnish server, which in turn would be caching responses from an external API (a reversal of the typical way you'd think people use Varnish). One possible use case might be in deployment, grabbing .zip files from Github.

* Rate-limiting requests to your API
Been done :)

Man, it's like people think banks are special when it comes to IT. They're not!

You have lots of extra regulations for sure but most of them are about retention of financial records. If a system isn't processing/storing financial records or "privileged" information nobody gives a damn.

The "technology plan" is 99.5% about making or saving money. That remaining .5%? Yeah, that's compliance. Because that's all it costs. Unless you think central logging systems are going to take up some large percentage of a multi-billion dollar quarterly budget?

People love to complain about "the costs of regulation" but you know what? In finance it really doesn't amount much in terms of "how much we spend." How much "it holds back the market" is a different debate entirely.

Aside: Without those regulations we'd just repeat all the same financial disasters throughout history.

Of course using your overdraft is totally fine, but using the evil credit cards even when paying in full is just like declaring bankruptcy. Doesn't help payment services in Germany that Visa/MasterCard is always considered an evil credit card and debit brands aren't too common.

Fair point, but the whole impetus for this reporting is that Fitch, one of the big 3 ratings agencies, has raised the issue and acknowledged that the full effect of battery technologies exceeds the time frame of their rating methodologies and so they're urging utilities to diversify into clean energy. I know that doesn't absolve them of past sins or even imply that they can be trusted, it just struck me as ironic that a warning from one is the basis of this post and discussion. They're doing their job here.

If you use javascript to extract the token from the URL then you can simply pass it via the hash ("fragment") part of the URL. The hash portion is only interpreted by the user agent and never sent to a server (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5). This is how we solved it at paperhive.org.

If you build a system that doesn't deal with spam, it gets drowned in spam. If you build a system that doesn't deal with abuse, abuse becomes commonplace. If you don't secure your IoT devices you get journalists DDoSed by lightbulbs. It's the same kind of social responsibility.

This means considering "personal space" in the design of games, providing adequate block/mute/etc tools to enable users to deal with offenders without having to quit, and possibly having staff review abuse reports and ban users.

But I gave up. I looked at what seemed a BNF-like description of the C grammar but I had no idea what it tells about the parsing rules. So I ended up using this guide: http://ieng9.ucsd.edu/~cs30x/rt_lt.rule.html With this I managed to implement an imitation of cdecl.
