It was in my early 20s that I was most active with philosophy. Let's not forget that many (most?) philosophers first lived their lives and then wrote about it in their end years. I'm betting my story will be similar.
I used to customize vim quite a bit, but I got tired of trying to sync my config across multiple systems, some behind corporate firewalls.

I run into this with TMUX too. It's a pain when you are used to your specific config to the point that it's hard to use the default config.

I got into emacs when I started lisping, but vastly prefer vim's keyboarding and macros. So when spacemacs came about, I jumped on board and love it. The power of emacs and the sense of vim.

Plus, I don't have to customize spacemacs aside from enabling modules I want... very easy to do. Very easy to keep in sync across multiple machines.
That's sort of antithetical to the purpose of venture capital, which I understand to be moonshot research projects that create something new, something that might take years of work before it sees revenue.
I understand that to be your argument. I'm saying, you haven't made a coherent case for it.
I think the "notwithstanding additional laws" caveat will protect census data. There are a number of things that require the collection, storage, analysis, and dissemination of census data by law. It's definitely murky, though.

The best time to bootstrap is right after a crash. Many years ago I worked at a startup that flamed out. A couple of guys went off and developed a similar product to fill the niche abandoned by that company, and no VC would even touch that space (remember the buzzword "B2B"?). Right there those guys had a 2-3 year window to develop a product and build a brand almost undisturbed by competition.
If anyone is still looking I have quite a few sitting idle.
As someone who grew up behind the iron curtain, this was positively terrifying to me. I did play it a bunch, though, and did manage to win once.
I've been in that situation (the only remote person on a team). With poor use of internal communication tools, it can be almost downright depressing.
My experience with depression is that it does what it can to feed itself. Whatever triggers it (for me I am certain it is brain chemistry) doesn't really matter.

Depressed people detach socially from their support network because that feeds the depression, and any plausible explanation feels as true as any law of physics. All you have to do is pick one: "These people don't care about me/They can never understand/They are better off without me as I will just hurt them."

One way I describe depression is that it's a detachment from reality. Whatever reality you are actually in, depression bends and warps it to such a degree that mentally healthy people could not understand even when described to them.

What is concerning about the transition from goal-based protests to identity-based protests is that the segregation of people has always been at the root of many tragic events in the past.

All genocides, persecutions, internments, etc. are necessarily preceded by the identification of a group of people. Most people don't like to hurt other people due to our innate empathy. But there's a more primal instinct we all have called "survival", and it will usually override empathy. Part of the survival instinct is the "warfare" instinct, and by splitting people into groups with insolvent identities, a state of war is created that will give group members the justification to fight other groups.

Most of the time the fighting is non-violent and results in positive outcomes - but only when the identity is associated with a tangible goal (as mentioned, the civil rights movement). Once the goal is achieved the group dissolves, satisfied. But as OP said, lately the goals have become less tangible and more fragmented, and the identities have become simultaneously broader and more exclusive. "Americans" vs "immigrants". "Cis" vs "LGBT".

It's concerning because I don't know how it can be resolved peacefully.

To me the separation of kernel and OS with Linux versus all together with BSD makes the container solution cleaner.

Take Google that is rumored to be using the same kernel in their cloud, ChromeOS and Android.

They concievably could have the same kernel from iOT, wearables, phone, tablet, 2 in 1, laptops, TV and cloud.

Google now is using the container functionality in ChromeOS to enable Android. Now if they give access I can run my cloud service on a laptop or a tablet. Instead of spending a fortune for a Swift version and a copy in Java.

But I also could develop once and deploy. Google has the containers like!E this on ARM and X86 and in their cloud on Power.

Now the containers are arch specific but not far from fixing that.

Google needs to allow a second SSD that is walled from the system SSD and give us access to launching containers. We get such storage in something like the M3 with rumored 16gb Samsung Pros but it is flash.

It is just not possible to do the same in BSD based on my very old experience. Has it changed?
Bingo.

This is why, when leads mention a VC backed competitor, I say something like: They'll be gone when the money VC dries up. You can trust us to stay for the long haul because you are our boss.
I disagree. It just takes rigid discipline and perseverance. The value proposition, business model, and team emerging from that will be fierce. I sense that these stories are much less reported and talked about, since they have less click appeal...

I'm not asking you to send me a resource that has led you to your current conclusions.

I'm asking that you formulate an argument that I can read that will make me believe that your arguments are well-formulated here. You made a very strong statement and I think that if you could logically justify it in written form it would be a valuable contribution to the thread.
Poor kids may not have a house to sit in and watch tv all day. They are at a major disadvantage and Ivies and other elite schools don't do a good job incorporating them into their schools due to their low sat scores and poor educational training, which is due to their poor socioeconomic status. You speak as if everyone is privileged and have the same opportunities but lazy.
Having used Windows, Linux, Visual Studio, Eclipse, and Perforce in both the early 2000s, and today, I'd daresay that they are quite recognizable. Much more usable (Except for Eclipse), but still quite recognizable.
Or it could mean that Netflix cannot cheaply licence a Portuguese show for Belgium, because they would have to effectively licence the whole regional block even though "everything except Portugal" would be orders of magnitude cheaper.

The same thing happens with sports all the time, very expensive to license in the home market, cheap as packaging peanuts in foreign markets (and used in pretty much the same way, for filling up inconvenient voids).

Previously, distributors had an incentive to popularize content across is home market boundary, with forced full region licensing this goes away.

(Edit: "effectively licence the whole block". The whole "may refuse to do business, but must stream everywhere" thing seems awfully muddy, my take is that it would be entirely to the rights holder wether they would consider a licence for that "Irish residents only" an expensive EU wide license or a much cheaper Ireland only)

Still doesn't address separation of concerns... if you prefer a single monolithic script to do everything, thats cool, im not trying to change your mind, but for my tastes, i want my provisioning script to be as simple as possible, concerning only what it needs to, and let the apps configure themselves in a way that is obvious to anyone who uses my scripts (a few of my fellow devs use my stuff to bootstrap their setup)
Welcome to Life: the singularity, ruined by lawyers (2012)
The problem with this philosophy is that it would have caused investors to miss very successful investments. Since the number of big wins is limited, there is a very real risk to professional investors to NOT being in wins.

This approach also basically rules out entire classes of investments (e.g. biotech).

It may be apocryphal, but Google (market cap: $567B) is rumored to have taken its first investment before it had incorporated, and well before it started making money. I'm sure there Google is not alone in this respect.
An angel investor recently responded to my pitch materials by scolding me for saying that our unit economics were strong enough to make most of our revenue profit (which is true). He said it "wasn't smart" and that other investors would question whether I'd thought through our business model. Months later, I am still at a loss for words.

Those aren't really worth much anymore -- once you hit a bump in the road, employee options are the first things to be wiped out. If investors received a larger share as has been reported, it's in preferred shares, which probably wipes out the employee options.
Generally products built by large teams are large products. There are extra challenges associated with coordinating large groups of people, and there are extra challenges associated with developing big, complicated software products with lots of different subsystems that have to work together.

Hopefully no one is using a large team to build a small product. If so, yeah, don't do that. But you're going to get into different problems building large products with small teams.

Ultimately there's no silver bullet, the best you can do is maintain awareness of the tradeoffs, identify and deal with problems as they arise, and otherwise do the best you can to maximize the likelihood of success and minimize failure.

Sometimes people feel like they've found a silver bullet just by identifying the problems, in which the silver bullet is "well just don't do that then". In contrast, I feel like everything that's nontrivial in life consists of choosing from a set of compromises and tradeoffs. There's a natural tendency to feel the pain of the compromises and assume that if only we weren't making those compromises, everything would be great, without taking into account the tradeoffs and compromises that alternate approaches would create.
GitLab may not be as good as some others in the space, but I've never seen a repo UI that actively repulses me nearly as much as BitBucket's. Even SourceForge doesn't put me off like that.

Honestly, all Atlassian products have terrible UI. JIRA is just as bad.
Wat?

How is their remote working practices at all related to the database disaster?

For that matter, how are either of those related to source control and rebuilding from old source? What would rebuilding source help with when you just deleted your production DB?
I agree with and have experienced this situation. I've also experienced it more often with small teams (3 seems to be critical mass).

Having a product manager is key, even for internal products. You don't even have to call them a product manager. That person can be a senior engineer who knows what the system has to do to be useful in the company's ecosystem. Someone has to have the final say when there are decisions to be made about the direction/execution of development and feature choices.

Also, there must be a manager above the "product manager" who has the guts to kill the project or remove a poorly performing product manager. This seems to be a big factor in most of the projects I've seen go south.
Since then: that CEO got busted for writing a chrome plug-in to help people get around California's webinar requirement to get a license to sell insurance.

early investors who accused the old CEO of turning Zenefits into a criminal enterprise for using unlicensed brokers to sell insurance.

I guess they somewhat misinterpreted the Y-Combinator preference for entrepreneurs who are a "little bit naughty."
Eh, developer pay and engineering in general has been a high paying field for eons. It takes a lot of specialized knowledge to do and that's only becoming more of the case as the industry further specializes and expands. It's like how there used to be one kind of doctor and now there's hundreds of specialties.

The only ones hurt will be generalists. It's not like you can pull a guy off the street and have him do 90% of dev jobs. The number of people capable of doing the job well will mean it always pays fairly well.

Real estate on the other hand can be done by anyone with some charisma and decent reading/writing ability which is probably about 50% of the population. These are the niches where high paying jobs don't last. Look what happened with Uber recently, once the job seekers catch on to an easy source of high income it's a few years or less before that income dwindles from excess supply
He has a valuable, entrenched product that is apparently used by a lot of people and provides value for them.

If those people won't pay a small sum to use this - or can find some easy substitute, then that could be an indication that this open-source project simply isn't that valuable.

If there is no easy substitute, and he is creating consistent value, he should be able to get some kind of revenue for something, possibly enough to pay himself and a few others to make it better.

It's not always easy, but it's not remotely irrational for him to try a few things. There's no reason for him to 'work for free' to help other people in their endeavours. They can pay him, and everyone still ends up a winner. It's called 'comparative value' - it's how most of the economy works. It's good. Apparently, he wants to 'get a job somewhere' writing code. How are his future employers going to pay him? By asking people to pay for the software that he writes. Or something along those lines.

In fact - given that he does have a 'high degree of expertise' in this open-source he made, that apparently people are using - it would make good economic sense overall if he (and possibly some others) were working on that, as opposed to him 'getting a job' elsewhere. It's a matter of plugging into the revenue stream. Again - not trivial, but something that could surely be tried.
I think the importance of that varies from person to person... I don't dislike inside jokes but also don't care if I miss them—I'm just there to do my best work.

That said, I completely understand why someone would feel differently.
The reichsadler goes back a long way and has been used in other times. That particular style appears to be used in the third reich, but the distinction remains: the right-pointing head signifies "Germany," and the left-pointing head signifies "NSDAP."

In any case, that shirt design screamed "Nazi!" to me the moment I saw it. I didn't set out looking for Nazi symbols, either, I was just browsing to see if there was anything that might be considered offensive. I was rather surprised that they would be so brazen. I can understand if you don't think it's sufficient, but I do.

I don't see how their remote structure has anything to do with their mistake with backups, etc talked about here lately.
Is that copied and pasted from somewhere? consad.com is a parked domain at GoDaddy (or gives me a 404 testing from another route). That and the exaggerated, sarcastic tone make me wonder whether I'm going to gain much from reading and responding to that comment, and whether it's an attempt to inform or attack. Life is too short.

For those interested in learning about the subject, here's a passable summary, though it relies too much on partisan sources:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/jul/15/...

There is a pay gap in some places and not in others; there even is a reverse pay gap in places, but of course if you get into the weeds of any data then it's always a mess. For example, the pay gap in Hollywood between actors and actresses is well publicized (though not mentioned in the article).

One argument they don't mention is that society and the economy are still structured around males working; that those are the norms we inherited and, like almost all norms, we accept them so fully we don't see them - like we are born and live underwater and don't realize that there is air and land. Think of the norm of a career: Get your first job at 18-24, steadily build your career, retire at 65-75. Taking a break to raise children is still a violation of the norm. But if women were the employed gender for centuries, then the expectations and norms for careers would be different; maybe we'd expect to have two careers, for example. That also may apply to the norms of what jobs are paid more highly; certainly in the past, men were paid more or given the better paying jobs because it was expected and necessary for their status as breadwinners; this was explicit. It may not be coincidence that we pay so poorly, for example, for teachers, a high-skill and high-value job to society but 'women's work'; they weren't the breadwinners.
Much clearer now, thank you for the elaboration.
I agree with the article mostly, but one issue I've always had with product owners is the lack of willingness to lay the proper foundations for technical products to succeed. That can be anything from training and allowing developers to do a proof of concept before they decide on the technology. The importance of automated testing,code reviews, refactoring, etc.

Google is your friend. Many US politicians (a surprising number really) have been killed. Of course, most have 'explanations' that are officially accidents. The government isn't going to admit to political assassinations, so for you to ask for 'proof' is an impossible task. Then again, there's 'explanations' for most deaths in Russia too. The real question is whether you believe that the US government only tells the truth and only the Russian one lies.

Of course, we know the US government lies about a lot, that's how we know about CIA actions to overthrow governments, the Iran-Contra affair, etc... We know the US government engages in assassinations abroad, whether it's a covert action or via drone.

To think that none of the politicians who are killed in plane crashes, gym accidents, car accidents or have heart attacks were expedited along is naïve.
About the environment, I have not crunched the numbers, but I suppose Bitcoin is actually greener than gold. Literal mining is messy.
There is a distance between thinking oneself abnormal and the act being considered abnormal that is critical here.

One can break the law without considering oneself a criminal, for instance.
"Explicit is better than implicit." is the Python mantra. Although it's not often taken as literally as some would like, I think it's appropriate in this case. After all, magic detection sounds good on the surface, but it's liable to be problematic and bug ridden.

You don't need magical file-specific juju or a wrapper script on most systems these days to select the Python version. Just call python2 or python3 as appropriate; the symlinks usually exist depending on packager, distro, etc. The problem up-thread appears to be with calling the default `python` on $PATH. Sometimes it points to Python 2.x, sometimes it points to Python 3.x. Sometimes it might even change (Gentoo's eselect, IIRC). I don't see the problem being explicit with which version is needed in the script's hashbang. Python 3 isn't exactly new, and I remember when Gentoo and Arch both migrated to versioned symlinks. It wasn't that painful.

A single software piece can't be PCI compliant but only how you use it.

You have to argue that Docker uses the Linux isolation mechanisms that make those containers virtual machines in the sense and spirit of PCI.

Treating containers as VMs makes some other requirements even easier like the request to have a minimal system and to only have one function per server - thats how you want containers to work anyway.

(Btw PCI has nothing to do with PII.)
Honestly, this particular complaint reminds me a lot of UAC. After decades of people complaining that Windows account security was too lax, they implement the graphical popup equivalent of `sudo`. Then proceed to get skewered in public opinion for having done it.

Yes, proper security means you will be inconvenienced. In the same way that you would be inconvenienced if your bank called you to confirm that $10000 wire you didn't initiate. It's inconvenient that you have to take a call and resolve the issue, but it's a hell of a lot better than finding out at some indeterminate point in the future that $10000 is missing from your account.
