What - other than fanaticism - would motivate an individual to register the domain name etc to put this up?

I've been doing databases professionally for 20+ years. I've used all of the big names apart from DB2, just never encountered it. Whether it's SQLite, PG, MariaDB, SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, Oracle, there's a right tool for the job.

Also a "data analyst" who never encounters a situation where parallel query will help is a person who works on very small datasets on a single disk or maybe a small RAID5 array.

Why is square footage not mentioned anywhere? Usually a primary concern for any housing consideration.

If there's insulation included in the bare bones kit why is it not shown in the photo? Any why is it so dark? Are you trying to scare people away from that option?

Heroku is not a non-profit/government organization. They are not under the obligation to advance the public good.

No. And people are under no obligation to not criticize them for not doing so. That's the thing with obligations: they are the bare minimum one must do, but hardly a guide for what one should do.

In fact, as a publicly traded company (as a subsidiary of Salesforce), they're actually obligated to maximize revenues and profits.

In my opinion, even if it was true, people should avoid mentioning it out of sheer embarrassment for the mockery it makes of a presumably advanced society. But it's not even true!

I'm not sure anyone's savings/investing could offset that?

If the book was digital then I would say preemptive verification should be done. However, for a physical paper book how could you verify legitimacy at scale?

It's a hard problem. I can't think of a way that doesn't involve destroying a physical copy to OCR, and that's a lot of manual effort.

In North Texas, all toll collection has been electronic since 2010. Either you have a TollTag or a camera takes a picture of your license plate and a bill is mailed to the address associated with your license plate number (at massively inflated cost; they really want you to either get a TollTag or stay off the toll roads). All tollbooths have been ripped out of every toll road in North Texas and replaced by scanners that can operate at high speeds. Traffic now flows much better now that there isn't a bottleneck at every toll gantry and exit ramp.

Edit: Here's what an NTTA toll gantry looks like: https://goo.gl/maps/BPsWP5uo3ep

I don't know the teachings of The Way to Happyness, but they were written by L. Ron Hubbard, also known as the founder of the Church of Scientology. Please be careful not to cross your path with this cult. They have a well documented history of fraudulent behaviour.

That said, the book may offer good advice, regardless of its association to Hubbard's Church. I don't believe atsaloli had any ill intent.
I would also recommend Wage Labour and Capital by Marx, and the classical political economists like Smith and Ricardo. A good introduction to contending schools of economics is Contending Economic Theories: Neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian by Wolff.

> Because their loyalties may lie with their former employer.

By that logic, Apple shouldn't hire any employees from Google, because they might reveal iOS secrets.

> Personal relationships... that relationship is probably going to supersede loyalty to any private sector employer

Sure, anything could happen. In your example, Joe gets nothing except enormous risk of public humiliation and expensive litigation in exchange for the favor to Bill. Any employee that is involved in this would almost certainly speak to someone. This isn't like a National Security Letter; there's no force of law to compel silence. It would be a foolish move for Joe.

Then Bill gets a call on his gray phone from his boss. "Why is the CIA in the newspapers for attempted backdooring of Cisco products?" We don't hear about this stuff because it doesn't happen like this.

People that are so loyal to the CIA don't leave for a pure private sector company. They go to a contractor so they can stay in the ecosystem. People going to Cisco are (1) physically moving away from Northern Virginia, (2) losing access to secrets.

Besides, it doesn't sound very patriotic to insert backdoor that's not even protected by a secret (e.g. key escrowed Clipper Chip, P and Q in Dual_EC) that goes into hardware purchased by more Americans than anyone else in the world.
I applaud you for having the foresight to save up for your kids' education. At the same time, I think it's naive to say that the only reason people are cash poor (or even the primary reason) is because they buy flat screen TVs and new cars.
Again: We am not "padding" anything. The site exists since 2012, and we keep old job listings around, as an archive and to help find interesting potential employers that may have jobs apart of what is listed. There's an open ticket about "fading them out" a little to make it even more obvious. There's plenty of recent jobs listed, so your point about "only ever seeing jobs that no longer accept applications" is moot. Also, subscribe to the RSS feed (or Twitter/Facebook), and "all you will ever see will be fresh, open positions".

It's like arguing that a news site should delete yesterday's news instead of keeping an archive, because "you're only interested in today".

As for your "sustainability" and "career building", I disagree there too, but that's for a different conversation.

Amazon's business model is all about winning on razor thin margins. They do this by making the cost side more efficient.
Do you own the actual machines that connect to POTS? Or is this built on top of Twilio or something?
It's not so much that it the lowest cost, it is that there are fixed costs that correlate to 'per dwelling unit'. Some of those are monetary, e.g. digging a trench for a sanitary sewer is pretty much the same for a tiny house as a McMansion. But the amount of effort is also mostly constant: getting permits and other entitlement for a four unit project is not that much less than getting entitlement for a forty unit project (and forty high end units are likely to require less work during entitlement than forty low end units because the high end units tend to be more politically palatable because they better improve the tax base).

Amazon already has subscriptions. Personally, I don't buy anything with a combination of frequency and predictability that makes a subscription make sense but obviously some people do.

Thats not the sole purpose of the self-incrimination protection (which is, also, far too focussed in it's protections to meaningfully effect that end, since historically false testimony coerced through torture was very often sought from people other than the person it was used against.)

> An evil government cannot coerce someone to falsely type a password into a terminal to decrypt files with incriminating evidence.

Sure they can, or, rather, if they claim to know already what is on the drive and reject any decryption which does not match their claimed knowledge, they can punish someone for non-compliance until they either tire of punishment or the target somehow manages to produce a result that matches the expectations.
Well, the context is that you used to have to pay for it, and now you don't.

I always think I type insanely fast and the processor has trouble keeping up with me, but I've yet to use a computer that didn't "hesitate" and "think about" what it was doing or going to do, with a delay in the mix.

So I can't knock you for saying that all operating systems suck, because with all the processing speed available, you would think that computers would be more capable of multi-tasking, especially if the only thing you really have open is a few tabs in a browser.

So then what is it really? The browser has a massive leak? Or the operating system can't handle it?

Mac OS -- used it for a few years and even tried upgrading my OS to the latest version. Even a fresh format. The OS seems to just be... slow!

Windows 7 and Windows 10? You would think they would have patched it all up and got it together, but it still doesn't mind introducing malware and other programs that tend to slow it down over time.

Linux has been decent, but there are moments where you can see it is processing something.

And the love of my life? Chromebook? Chrome OS? It can only handle a certain amount of tabs before it has this memory leakage that causes everything to slow down and at times, the computer will just freeze to the point where you need to hard boot it. Or you have to restart it every few days to let it "refresh" itself.

Certainly understandable that the operating system itself is just a platform, but they could be much improved upon when it comes to performance.

Chris Dixon: How Aristotle Created the Computer
https://illumos.org/man/5/epoll

While a best effort has been made to mimic the Linux semantics, there are some semantics that are too peculiar or ill-conceived to merit accommodation. In particular, the Linux epoll facility will -- by design -- continue to generate events for closed file descriptors where/when the underlying file description remains open. For example, if one were to fork(2) and subsequently close an actively epoll'd file descriptor in the parent, any events generated in the child on the implicitly duplicated file descriptor will continue to be delivered to the parent -- despite the fact that the parent itself no longer has any notion of the file description! This epoll facility refuses to honor these semantics; closing the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'd file descriptor will always result in no further events being generated for that event description.

Why to prototype a product?
This is really interesting! Obviously it is a topic in itself, but do you mind sketching how one develops software in an environment that requires this extreme amount of reliability? If you do not use an existing general-purpose OS, do you even use a MMU? Is it hard real-time?

E.g. what language do you use? Is it SW or HW that you "ship"? You probably perform some kind of verification and or validation - how does the tool chain look like?

Do you perform model-checking on all possible inputs?

Lots of questions, and you do not have to go into detail, but I would appreciate your input, as it is an interesting topic.

> AISP (Account Information Service Provider) are the service providers with access to the account information of bank customers.

I do not see why I should entrust anybody but the bank with information about my wealth. This will get abused and I will probably get nudged into this, so that the company selling an unrelated product can sell my information.

If you want to do a product using my banking data, then do a product using FinTS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinTS) and not as a service that grabs my data to you.
