I think you have numerous misconceptions here. You can't pay directly for status. Longevity without change doesn't entitle you to anything. Ten years is not great longevity; try doubling that. Microsoft doesn't not believe you are a "massive spammer"; they are just playing the percentages based on your choice of associations and your choice to abuse their service. Finally, you seem to think you have a contractual relationship with Microsoft that obliges them to accept your email on the basis of "Terms and Conditions" which, if I'm not much mistaken from what you've described, don't apply to your relationship with them.

Your expectations don't match reality and you seem to prefer complaining to change.

I have basically no sympathy at all, I'm afraid. It is your fault, not for "replying to emails" but by failure to update infrastructure as the context changes. This is your problem to fix, and it appears you've made poor choices in that direction based on a misattributed sense of entitlement.

People often do not know what exactly they need and there is a disconnect between a need and the product that will satisfy the need.

No one "needs" Facebook but they do want a way to communicate and keep up with the people they love. Facebook is just one solution to that "need" but not the unique solution.

Needs exist in the world, but there needs to be an engineer to identify the need, to devise a solution that satisfies it, and to then make it available to the people who need it with an economic model that is sustainable and practical to everyone involved.

I want to find this exciting but I can't help feel a little jaded when I hear Matrix's PR spin this as "the missing link" when we've already have countless attempts at creating 3D worlds like this but which all have since faded into obscurity. Heck, I even wrote my own "3D website" in the 90s using a long defunct web markup language called VRML.

It will be interesting if/when we finally get there but I don't expect this will be the breakthrough product. Though personally I think the real evolution of this tech will be more along the lines of augmenting reality with web tech rather than emulating virtual reality to behave like our physical world.

Well, he is under the impression he was a 9th employee and the grant was delayed. So if this is a bonus for time served then it wasn't made clear to him what's his standing. It doesn't even make sense to award options at that point unless they are backdated maybe [1]. And I am willing to bet money that the nature of the options was misrepresented. Foreign contractors are particularly vulnerable since they wouldn't have experience with US law and finance.

I don't know of any companies that award options yearly/bonus, it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, must always do RSUs [1]. Options may be adjusted for dilution or promotions yearly, but that's different. Options are designed as a tool to get a % proportional to what you add as value. If you get options with your own work valued in the strike price, those options are orders of magnitude less valuable than the options you get at sign up. If gitlab made that clear and he agreed, then I agree gitlab are in the right, otherwise yes he got screwed over big time.

[1] The problem with delayed or yearly options grants is that workers have a huge incentive now to lower the strike price for the next valuation. Why would you work hard against yourself if you are really just increasing the price you buy at? You'd be much better off to work against the company at this point and score a lower strike price. Further how can you trust a company that makes you work against your own interest. Perfect example of lose-lose.

And why would you want it? What is your use case? Making something async introduces a lot of complexity with no obvious benefit. It's also not as simple as it looks. For instance all db access in django is synchronous at the moment and changing that is not trivial since it requires swapping out whole layer.

I don't read the mailing lists but i'm not sure if it's even considered.

If you want async requests today you can take a look at channels: http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Mr. Robot SPOILERS below.

> just uses the classic "hackers == Juvenal idealistic freaks" trope which is getting old

I would argue that it indeed uses this trope - among many others. If you're looking at the show from the political perspective (and not from the mental disorder perspective, for example), it plays the tropes beautifully. First you see a sympathetic group of young rebels ready to defeat evil empire, and when they finally achieve it you see all intended and unintended consequences of it, and the stupidity of these naive "good" and "bad" labels in general.

> We don't really live in that era yet.

There are bionic arms and legs, but they don't make anyone loose their humanity. Also, I remember GiTS mainly from the manga, and I would say that it's more about the general concept of soul and conscience.

> That is just semantics.

Yes, it emphatically is semantics. Semantics: the meaning of things, particularly words. That's important.

You probably meant "nit-picking", and I would suggest it was you who was engaging in nit-picking (though incorrectly) that this is outdated/irrelevant because it is from the past. So I see your incorrect nit-pick and raise you a correct nit-pick.

> I am arguing that...

Yes you are. Arguing, that is. And back then, you probably would have argued that shutting down that nuclear plant would have been a boon to health, because "evil/bad nuclear".

The thing is that this article is not about arguing about what you believe will/should happen, however strongly you believe that, but about what actually did happen.

> no longer automatically means more coal pollution.

It wasn't automatic back then either, just as it isn't automatic now. However, then and now the actual replacement is largely with coal, no matter what your preferences might be.

You can be both successful and open source. Look at sidekiq as an example.
You dont really need anything to start. Simply do the following:

- Talk to people about whatever problem you are looking to solve. Leverage social media and join in the conversation. Twitter is a good place to find people to talk to.

- Pay attention to the words people use. All problems have a set of specific keywords that tell you everything about how people feel about it. Use these keywords to communicate with people. Talk with their own words.

- Be consistent. Repetition is key. Say the same thing in different words. Repeating is important. Communicate the same message in similar ways.

That's pretty much what you need. Once you've learned more about the problem and those who have it, you can then leverage that data by using tools to reach more people.

Marketing (all of it) is about comminication. Listen and oay attention. Good luck.

>The tech is just an implementation detail you work out later.

Are so-called "tech" startups even about technology anymore? They are more and more focused on extracting value than innovating anything. Consider the focus on sales, marketing, advertising as of late and ask yourself if the greatest minds of this generation should be spending their efforts on making people buy stuff they don't need.
Exactly how do you argue that aren't the ones dying of hunger/disease by lack of treatment that are the brightest and most suitable for the needed positions of high intellectual achievement needed to run a space program?

In the "animal kingdom" both things are part of physical abilities, in here one of physical the other is intellectual.

In any case, one would think than in the XXI century we would be more advanced than expecting a nation to prune the disabled/destitute part of their population by letting them die of hunger/disease while they launch rockets into space.
Coal have unavoidable casualties in human health and environmental degradation built into normal operations. Nuclear much less so, so while I also wear those specs, I still believe the argument for Nuclear is sound.

Another thing I like to point out is how much of a wildlife haven Chernobyl is compared to any moderate city. The fear that keeps the humans away, has transformed a "safe" dump into a paradise.

That does not work. A Powerwall or other battery will just increase the base load over the time it's charging (or decrease the load when it empties), but you will still have noticeable load spikes by which you can identify the device.

Actually, it's even possible to identify certain devices by eye if you have a sufficiently detailed log (I could, for example, distinguish a coffee machine, a dishwasher and a fridge, as well as lights with different wattages, at a resolution of 1-2 measurements/s). Their patterns are quite distinguishable.
I use it all the time for small data migration projects, as the ORM saves a lot of time for inserts and updates. The Admin makes it very fast to create, edit and view data as well. Even if you don't use Django at all for the final project, it can save a lot of effort during development.
This is the only non-vague, useful comment to this thread so far. A specific tactic that can be practically applied.
It's a particularly touchy subject because the source material is very conceptual, therefore there will be proportionally more people looking for that in the movie than any generic sci-fi.

I watched both, and I definitely noticed that the main concept has been dumbed down... but then, so what? Aesthetics is a core part of the medium, so it's perfectly justified to enjoy a movie in large part for that.

So ultimately it's about what one is looking for; it definitely won't please people seeing GitS through a cerebral lens, but it will certainly please the other end of the spectrum - people looking for a good looking, high-concept sci-fi.
Like everything in engineering, I imagine it is a balancing act.

No, you don't need to waste CPU cycles on compression for each connection. You can store the .css.gz on the filesystem along with the .css and have the webserver pick up the appropriate file based on Accept-encoding.

That way you can precompress with the slowest compression options.

3. Pilots are very expensive. Not just to train but also in terms of the political cost of having pilots killed or captured by the enemy.

In terms of ethics, there is a need to ensure that war has a human cost or there is very little to stop countries doing it all the time. If the cost of war is purely financial, then I think perhaps that might be the beginning of the end to the world as we know it.

ETFs Are the New Bond Kings
Firstly as other have said build something you would use and that interests you. It doesn't have to make money if it adds value to you personally or professionally (technical knowledge and hard life lessons learnt). Secondly just ship it, personal projects can easily become obsessions, always needing one more thing. I did this and even though I hate parts of my apps design it is getting good feedback.

I recently had a quiet period in my freelance work so spent the time learning React Native amongst other things. I applied this to an idea I have had rattling around in my head for a point tracking app for people on Slimming World. I spent 4 weeks developing this and then shipped it to iOS. In under 2 weeks it has grown to almost 10,000 registered users, is number 4 in the UK Lifestyle Free Apps chart (ahead of Slimming World's own app) and has made enough ad revenue to cover the only costs I have had (App Store membership costs). It is never going to bring in big money but the lessons I have learnt are priceless.
Robots Enlist Humans to Win the Warehouse War Amazon Started
For the new air traffic control centre in Swanwick here in the UK, I worked with a team doing UI design for the big 20x20 displays that the controllers (ATCOs) would use. Because these were effectively radar screen replacements, the ATCOs insisted that the screens should be black, with all the aircraft tracks, track blocks and other such on the screen in bright colours, as this is what they were used to. The UI experts said no, research indicates that it is better (more restful on the eyes etc) to use a light background, with the tracks in dark colours, and pastels for the track blocks. It was interesting to see how much research went into all this, much more that simple user preference.

The upshot however was that the ATCOs won, and the radar-style colour scheme was what was delivered.

Except that Banqaio Dam was required anyway for flood control purposes, so the choice wasn't between killing 170,000 people and using some other form of power. All that not using hydroelectric power would've achieved is to ensure that nuclear proponents could no longer blame those deaths on hydroelectric power. Not only that, nuclear power didn't exist yet when it was built. Which is probably a good thing - Banqaiao Dam was build significantly under the specs recommended by its engineer for cost reasons, then operated unsafely; can you imagine what would happen if China built a nuclear power plant with the same approach?
