That's something that interests me about CEOs who constantly face criticism. It was always CEOs like Kalanick who bring difficult but much needed change because they are brave (yes, I said it) enough to make some decisions.

It's always easy to point out the things they did and criticize them, but it is harder to realize the work that they put in and the choices they make to keep their company (and most of the time, the industry they're in prosper). If he would've played by all the rules, Uber would've had to put up a Goodbye page on their homepage a while ago. Taxi industry would've tried to decimate it, and what ever would've happened, wouldn't be good for the transportation ecosystem as a whole. Self driving taxis are even being talked about because of Uber. I think Uber moved the arrival of self driving taxis from the concept to the street a decade earlier (although I have to say it might've taken longer if Levandowski was never at Uber; lets wait for the outcome of the lawsuit)

Makes me think of Steve Jobs in the same way. Steve Jobs was (and still is in parts of the internet) intensely hated for his contributions. But he made a change in the computing industry which made computers (electronics in general) much more beautiful and a pleasure to use. Bringing about that kind of change is very difficult in my opinion, and we need brazen people like Jobs and Kalanick. They are sometimes immoral with their choices, but people tend to forget the world we live in often is too.
You should look into proprietary technologies, there are some very compelling offerings there. I have personally used QuasarDB ( https://www.quasardb.net/ ), and can say that it's on par with kdb+ in terms of performance, scales horizontally and has support for transactions and secondary indexes. They have a single node free edition as well.

Typically these solutions tend to follow the money, but if you ignore the list price, you can usually get a decent deal for a startup.
if this is real i see they will have issues in future they charge very well for the service they provide so i assume they should have good engineers stick to them for long term growth.
We are talking about both because they are the one and the same.

I was talking about aggression against an enemy. Bombs, sanctions, cyber war fare. All in service to making the 'other guy' pay the price. In the context of cyber warfare getting rid of your own security exploits and creating them for stuff the 'other guy' uses.

But that gets right to the essence of how this is different. The NSA sought to use a superior knowledge of exploits available in the software their enemies used against the enemy, even tho the same tools can be used on their friends. That is no different than picking up the weapon of an enemy soldier and using it against his own squad mates. Or having the enemy pick up your weapon and use it against your squad mates.

Computers and networks are now (and arguably always have been) weapons of war. Just as cars and the people walking into markets wearing vests full of semtex are. And that is a sad truth because it means becoming a casualty can happen anywhere without warning. And that seems to be what Phase III will be about.

They contradict each other on purpose. They tend to act as a balancing function.

That said, ya, I don't think they were meant for anything else but Amazon.
I used to work at Amazon, and I liked their leadership principles.

They're intentionally contradictory, but that's just an acknowledgement that perfection is impossible. When you choose to focus on one aspect of your career, that's often going to be at the detriment of something else. This also means that there's always room for career development and self-improvement.
You also have to consider the cost of hiring the wrong candidate. That can often dwarf the loss from missing out on a good candidate. The other option is to hire less stringently but use trial periods which have their own problems.

Wow! There are multiple wars against science, exploiting "science". There seems to be a strong need for some service that can flag fake news, fake research, etc. in facebook, google and others.

The government which funds the vast majority of scientific research should insist that real research is freely accessible not in these gated journals that are ridiculously expensive (as much as $25k/year for a single subscription)...so that there was an easy way to access real scientific research.

Incidentally a similar stunt was pulled with a humanities journal several years ago and the gibberish paper got published...but this was in something a lot more like a real journal.

They stay in business courtesy of government programs to keep people afloat enough to afford basic necessities, and by negotiating to pay reduced or no local taxes or infrastructure costs, coupled with relocating stores any time a tax-break deal expires. As long as you don't have to pay a living wage (because the government picks up the difference) and don't have to pay the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure of your store (because the government picks up the difference), you can "sustain" an otherwise-unprofitable business for quite a long time.

You can follow the assignments of such "socket numbers" for NCP in RFCs 349, 433, 503, 739, 750, and 755. RFCs 758, 762, 770, 776, and 790 address both socket numbers for NCP and port numbers for TCP/IP simultaneously. RFCs 820, 870, 900, 923, 943, 960, 990, 1010, 1060, 1340, 1700 continue that work for port numbers only and RFC 3232 finally switches it to an online database.

RFC 349:

Socket Assignment
1 [Old] Telnet
3 [Old] File Transfer
5 Remote Job Entry
7 Echo

RFCs 349, 433, and 503 also provided a list of conflicting socket numbers used on specific hosts.

I haven't read the article but wanted to comment on specifically for your question. As a person working on neuromorphic computing, I would like to make something clear:

Most of frontier neuromorphic research of today, neither focus on creating an "general artificial intelligence" by copying human brain nor think that neuromorphic computing is the most probable discipline to achieve it. Instead, optimizing hardware for neural networks is the focus. If we want to achieve high number of (>10^14) weights, low energy consumption and spatial shrinkage we would like to give up running 1000 GPU clusters which only a handful of companies have. Neuromorphic computing only suggests that we need a better hardware (which may or may not require working with spiking neural nets as a consequence) in order to make AI hardware scalable, nothing more.

Dead link? Expired link ?
fair point – this is something we consider doing before expanding to b2b market. but:

my day job is in ecommerce (I work as a product manager at FastSpring) and I used to work on CleanMyMac at MacPaw – had to work with trust in both. it's somewhat unexpected but people who are buying software for themselves usually don't care about PCI compliance, audits, and other artifacts of "institutional validation". they care about a "norton secured" badge, proper language, recommendation from a person they know, a review at the website they read, "that green thing with the lock in my browser".. we're now at the phase where we are trying to find the right combination.

just to be clear – it's very different from project to project and depends on the audience. what I'm saying is that we're making decisions emotionally mostly based on our prior experience and rely on internal "thermometer" to tell us if what we're seeing is trustworhty.

I'm sorry but those links are no good argument to me.

I've already commented on the fact that MariaDB service unit is 173 lines of ini-style configuration with most of the lines commented for example purposes.

So I'd still gladly trade many lines of bash for hundreds of lines of ini-config.

And sure some projects still depend on shell script wrapping, I myself did for many python services that I run in virtualenv. But I learned more about systemd and eventually could get rid of all shell script wrappers.

But even in a worst case scenario where some project might have to use shell script wrapping, it's still better than ALL projects using 100% shell script.
A more general question to ask based on this is: is there something about Indian culture (or people who grow up in India / Indian culture), that make many of the managers complete jerks?

The same question could be asked about corruption in India. A lot of Indians just seem overly eager to screw each other over, and lord it over each other. You see this in Indian colleges, with the so-called phenomenon of "ragging", which is really just socially accepted mental/physical abuse.

I just feel Americans (while many are total assholes), that the majority are generally much nicer as a people, and they don't treat each other like complete crap. What's wrong with Indian culture? How does Indian society manage to cultivate so many terrible people? (serious question)

If austerity means living a miserable life, you have a point.

> Documents indicate that PRISM is "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports"

That's because it contains wiretapping data of specific highly valuable targets. Nowhere in this sentence does it say that it contains mass surveillance because Snowden's documents and the government have shown it does not.

I never said that the NSA doesn't engage in mass surveillance, only that it doesn't do mass wiretapping through Verizon and AT&T or through the Internet companies, as you wrongly believed PRISM did. The reason that distinction matters is that the NSA absolutely should gobble up all communications in a war zone or other foreign area threatening national security. That's what it's there for. Gobbling up and processing domestic communications as your claimed mass wiretapping on Verizon or Google would do is outside the scope of the intelligence agencies, and there remains no evidence that they do that despite multiple leaks. Any claim otherwise is conspiracy theory by definition.
* Snarky comment written by someone that doesn't even seem to understand what a live photo is (hint: it's not a GIF replacement)
The 'code' you read is similar, but the way they work are totally different.

Monkey is fundamentally a functional language, but rooby is totally an object oriented language. And the compiler, vm's internal implementation and bytecode spec, which are the 'core' of rooby, is not like monkey at all.

I would say I extended monkey's lexer and parser as rooby's. I feel sorry if I didn't give enough credit to Thorston, I would add reference to his book in readme. But the core is more a Ruby than monkey, so I don't think it's just an "extension" of monkey.

Please read the commits and you'll know how much work I did to make rooby, it's far more complicated than just "extend" monkey.

If writing assembly code to run in the Go environment, and you're changing pointers, you have to write garbage-collector aware code.[1][2] Go has concurrent garbage collection, which means there are some unusual constraints on code that manipulates pointers.

This is an area where proofs of correctness are considered necessary, because intuition fails. See [3]

Now I really don't think this is completely fair or that you have to pay this much to attract top talent [0]...

but I think I can see a different reason why top executives are paid like this.

It is the same as with pro sports, e.g. soccer where the top players in the big leagues earn more money than they know what to do with, decently good ones seems to earn a living and everyone else is sponsoring by paying for their kids to play on a team etc etc.

Actually a bit of the same thing as lotteries:

Big payouts to a few more (lottery) or less (CEO) randomly selected individuals to make sure everyone else keeps putting in money or effort.

A monad is an environment in which we can sequence actions, and where the "sequencing functions" (>> and >>=) decide whether to continue or stop.

The Maybe monad stops when it encounters a Nothing result, and continues when it encounters a Just. So:

Just 1 >> Nothing >> Just 5

will return Nothing, whereas

Just 1 >> Just 2 >> Just 5

will return Just 5.

>>= is used to take the value inside the monad (Just) for the left-hand argument, and stuff it into the right-hand argument, like so:

Just "hello" >>= Just . (++ " world")

returns Just "hello world".
Netem: linux network emulator
Most enterprise software companies in the financial sector traditionally built solutions on Oracle. This was because in the 80s and even early 90s, the holy grail of financial systems (MVCC - multiversion concurrency control with guaranteed transactions) was offered relatively cheaper by Oracle during that period compared to IBM's big iron solutions. This was a winning strategy for Oracle. They dominated new projects during the 90s client-server revolution.

Over time this didn't matter as many RDBMS offered advanced MVCC features and transactional guarantees "on the cheap". (MS SQL and pgsql being late bloomers to this club - there are many other good databases that do similar).

Your professor is probably a veteran from the heydays of Oracle's dominance. The meme of Oracle (i.e. if the system is developed using Oracle being default good) still carries in the minds of many financial execs and CTOs. But it is fading fast.

I personally wouldn't touch Oracle for my enterprise startup which provides BI solutions for asset managers. We use SQL Server and pgsql.
