While you and the sources you link to are generally correct, you should probably disclose your relationship with Linode when you make these comments -- namely that you were involved with, and successfully prosecuted for, one of the more serious of the five. You also lost any semblance of moral footing when you dumped the customer data that you extracted to the public. Reading your comment with that context changes it slightly; given that since said prosecution you've taken every opportunity to speak negatively about Linode that you can, I feel it's important context to have. I know you've spoken openly in the past about it, but a lot of folks reading now will not have seen those threads.

I'm not saying I disagree. To prove that, for the record, I informed Linode leadership that ColdFusion admin being world-accessible was a bad idea several years before you and your 'team' were even aware of Linode, and I and another employee proposed replacing ColdFusion long before you flippantly suggested that it doesn't take years[0]. (Try running a hosting provider at medium scale.) I've been just as critical long after leaving Linode as an employee -- I saw oversights like mgreb:mgreb1221 being a full-admin user on world-accessible db1.linode.com for many years with the password in crons, for example -- so please don't interpret me as disparaging your opinion, only your trying to have it both ways with a very clear conflict of interest, and turning your takedown of Linode into a potential annoyance for me and thousands of other people. And yes, I know the key passphrase that you never recovered, despite your public assertions to the contrary.

I don't think the typical user is willing to even do trivial things like replace the RAM in a desktop PC.

I could replace the oil in my car, I'm positive I could figure it out. But I would much rather forgo the money I would save doing so and have it done by an auto shop.

Can a person be "cured" of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.

So after learning a lot about it I just started ketogenic diet a couple of weeks ago (very low carb, high fat, moderate protein). Everything I read about it says MCT is good, so coconut oil is good. Pure MCT is much better but it's £18 half litre so I'm not going to cook with that.

KCKO :)
The existence of dozens of competitors is the #1 marker of a highly competitive market. I'm not sure what basis you have for raising "the possibility of price fixing on an industry wide scale" (other than that is theoretically possible in any market). In my experience pitching big companies for legal matters, the process is quite formalized. When presented with a new matter, a company will interview several firms to give presentations on how they would handle the matter and how they would price the engagement. That is just how the process works even at the largest, most reputable corporate firms. (A partner I used to work for at one of the big New York firms told me that when he started at the firm, "business development" meant a partner checking his voice mails when he got back from lunch. That's not how the industry works anymore.)
Interesting – seems like there's a bit of overlap with Project Gitenberg (https://www.gitenberg.org/).

That's not true. Linode had numerous allocations, including up to a /16 (if I recall), before receiving an ASN. They simply announced them from datacenter transit, which has pros and cons.
1 and 4 are not real solutions because they compromise your identity. 2 and 3 are correct.
Below the Root: A story, a computer game and my lifelong obsession (2015)
It gets worse when you think about how often those "screwed" people that make 5x the median income of an area, make software that replaces 10,000 jobs. This software often comes in an app store and is given away for free with an ad at the bottom.
Typically they get mentioned in the same breath as PaaS and CI/CD, because these are necessary preconditions for sanity.

Architecture and design follow the contours of possibilities our tools lay out for us.

If it is hard to build many little services that interact (circa 1999: provision servers by fax, meet them at DC, configure each by hand, install software via FTP, fuck it doesn't work, fuck this I'm writing a monolith) then they don't get written.

If the cost of microservices drops -- you install a PaaS, you have decent CI/CD -- then the relative advantages (team independence, rapid iteration and deployment, somewhat easier horizontal deployments) become more compelling.

You'll see this pattern across the industry. Every "revolution" is really just a shift in the underlying economics of the different options. NoSQL was compelling because HDDs are slow, with SSDs the gap was narrowed considerably. Networks are fast enough that paying the network hop is considered acceptable for most human-facing purposes, once upon a time we did everything we could to squeeze stuff into the L2 cache. You can write massively multi-threaded software in COBOL, but it's probably going to be easier to use Go or Java for that purpose.

As the relative costs of alternatives shift, so too the industry.

Which is a long-winded way of saying: I don't think PaaS-less microservices is really "a thing". Hypothetically possible, but going to quickly run into heavy headwinds.
That doesn't mean it's not illegal.

For banks that don't encrypt everything, changing an advertised rate from another would probably run afoul of all sorts of illegal.
Not to be confused with Groucho Marx's joke about belonging to clubs. :-)

He didn't invent most of the words he used.

It would seem to me that most writing consists of two parts:
1.) choosing words from an existing register and
2.) putting them in order.

But feel free to theorize that authors can only apply connotations to words that they invent.
It's being compared to things like a Thinkpad: the manual for my T430 has guides to walk you through how to replace every single part inside, as well as the product numbers for each part so you can order individual replacements yourself. Not only is everything easily replaceable and upgradable, but they actually help you do it!
No, I was using IValidator, IValidator<t> as an example of a non generic base type being necessary when interfacing with existing libraries...

Honestly if you can that clojure library I linked a few posts ago without using this technique I will be extremeley impressed, but otherwise I disbelieve you. (Note: I have done this a few years ago.)
Did I mention that the other pentesters on the team completely missed that remote code exec I found? I hate to brag, but sometimes it's the best way to get a point across.

Security is so hard that you can't find everything. One of the dirty secrets of the security industry that nobody likes to talk about is that when you do a pentest, you're deemed secure, but it's overwhelmingly likely that the pentesters didn't find all the vulnerabilities.

Security breaches are rare, which is why this system works. But it's not malicious -- it's just very, very hard to be secure all the time. Security isn't even a priority in most cases.

I get that you're saying Facebook has resources. But with resources comes scale. How many programmers do you suppose worked on that feature? It could be one or two out of a dozen assigned to that arm of the project. Or it could be a dozen involved in a multi-month refactoring of spaghetti code. Or it could be one overworked person who threw in a "fix" before crawling home to bed. FB hires exceptional people, and even exceptional people ship bugs.

By the way, two weeks is a tiny amount of time. A real-world pentest takes about that long to book, unless you already have pentesters on retainer. I'm sure Facebook does, but as I said, pentesters can't catch everything.

It's been almost a decade since I used Apache Groovy, but I don't remember its printf being type safe. Its method signature is

Same here. I ended up writing a wrapper for alot (and a custom MDA): https://github.com/jakeogh/gpgmda (just split the client stuff into gpgmda-client, see the client side deps list)
Some people (e.g. Facebook) do this already. And it turns out that this doesn't really impact security all that much!

Here's a recent research paper on the topic: pASSWORD tYPOS and How to Correct them Securely - http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2016/papers/0824a799.pdf
Agreed. My first thought was: "Sweet, now prices will come down, WF stores will probably have come out with some innovations we didn't even know we needed but then won't imaging living without and overall customer experience will be awesome." They're going to figure out how to take WF to the next level.

I do not know whether you've read part 3 of this series. It explicitly treats matrix multiplication as function composition, and goes with this at length.

As for the rest, you might be right or not; but I am not competent to reform world's math education. If you can write better linear algebra guides than the standard textbooks, I'm all for it. Please inform me if you do that, I'd love to read that. (BTW It's not sarcasm - I'd really love to see linear algebra explained better than in standard textbooks. So far all fancy tutorials turned to be good only as entertainment).

This is silly semantics. Jupiter and the Sun both orbit the center of mass of the Jupiter-Sun system. The article is making the point that for Jupiter and the Sun this point happens to be just outside the surface of the Sun.

It's much simpler to say "Jupiter orbits the Sun" than "Jupiter and the Sun both orbit the center of mass of the Jupiter-Sun system". You can think of the former as a shorthand for the latter.
Thank you for the insightful comment. My article was meant to challenge my blockchain-loving friends and focus on "blockchains are only good at censorship resistance", but I unfortunately made it sound like that was equivalent to vice.

There is nothing remarkable about them paying for your travel and accommodation.

One of my favourite "doodle projects" is a dumb computer the size of a slim diary which does nothing except type and print. The UX is the main state-of-the-art feature.

Course the smallness will mean that the typing experience will be compromised to some degree. But I've got a matching keyboard for my iPad mini and got used to that. I've seen some of these digital typewriters on Kickstarter but they lack a little something ... I guess a product of this type must have a real endearing value about it. If it's possible to sell mental business plans huh ;)

> because the sole purpose of patents is to prevent competition.

No, the purpose of patents is to make trade secrets into public information so knowledge isn't lost; allowing inventors limited monopolies isn't the purpose, it's the cost, it's the carrot that achieved the goal of getting them to disclose their inventions to benefit all of mankind. You've confused the carrot for the destination.
> Forbes, TheHill, LinkedIn, and various other sites now just auto-play videos following right in facebook's footsteps.

Yes. And I believe these companies are trying out the Facebook recipe for Advertizing -- which leads to monetization and profits -- success.

It's been widely reported (you can search HN archivesa and you'll see) that Facebook counts as little as 3 seconds of any video play time as a "View". And it takes the average user about that much time to scroll down or up, at which point the currently playing ad stops playing, and the next one in the viewport is now playing on autoplay. So a single user could potentially be scrolling up and down his/her page / feed, and contribute 10 to 20 Video views.

Scale that to it's millions of users, and Facebook now presents the video views as "Reach" and can charge advertisers a lot more.

From an end user perspective, it's annoying, but from the publisher point of view, it's in the interest of all these sites to auto-play their videos, and count a few seconds as "Views" and tout their reach eventually leading to increased ad sales...
Me too, and i think we discovered a new phenomenon.

OK i ll rationalize it, stars aren't "Born" , humans are. "A star is born" is a common phrase, and doesn't usually refer to stellar objects. Since i was tricked to believe it was talking about humans, it;s easier to understand how i might have confused pairs for Paris (which was also capitalized). Plus i dont wear my glasses.
Startup school was super helpful. Mike Robbins from Circuitlab/Pantelligent was an amazing mentor!

Every week before our group meetup, we had a few questions to fill out that really got us thinking deeply about our business. I wouldn't have thought something as simple as a few pointed questions would yield so much fruit, but it really was awesome. The questions force you to think about on your business value, how to describe it, your target customer and how you might address them. The advice is sound, and comes from the mentor's and YC's experience, which really grounds it. We'd do it again in a heartbeat.
There's so much in your comment that I could respond to. I probably won't get to everything.

But here is a "proof" that beats are perceived as if they were echos, using a rock beat. A (natural) echo is softer than the original, because the sound is traveling a greater distance to get to your ear. So, an artificial echo should also be softer. I used to play drums and I remember instinctively hitting the hi hat like (on quarter notes):

(DAH-Dah)-(Dah-dah)

where the hardness was like 3-2-2-1 or 3-1-2-1. If I'm using terminology correctly: I hit it hardest on the down beat and second hardest on up beats. It just sounded right.

So the echo pattern would be like

#1 Downbeat
#2 (echo of #1)
#3 (echo of #2)
#4 (echo of #3)

(On the high hat)

OR

#1 Downbeat
#2 (Small echo of #1)
#3 (Big echo of #1)
#4 (Small echo of #3)

(On the high hat)

The way to test a theory of causation is to remove beats and see if it sounds right to your ear. Pay attention to how the transition sounds. Does the transition sound natural? This is kind of hard to do with rock rhythms. The theory becomes more interesting as the rhythms get more complex. When I was thinking about this, I was imagining house music or other electronic dance music.

I don't know much classical music, so I haven't really even thought about it.

I think the time to fix is the most telling. I can understand how bugs get shipped sometimes even by good engineers but what I don't understand is how they don't have someone fixing it immediately if lives are endangered.
Kk. I've seen widely varied screen out procedures and that can heavily hit on how many "can't even write a for loop" candidates you get.

Getting a job is out of it as there are no much tech opportunities where I live, and I have pretty much lucked out severally on the freelancing side of things.

Remote work is still popular and if you freelanced enough, don't you have some good references or success stories to tell?

I'm sorry i cannot answer your core question, but I would not discount the ability to continue working as a freelancer until you figure out what the right answer is.
> Any resources to learn more about how to roughly map traffic to number/type of instance, if that is what people do?

Everything is going to depend on the specific services and caching your application is going to run. Spin up an instance with the workload you want to test and run some benchmarks? It's free after all.
Even the worst lawyers still charge 100's of $/E per hour and to get certain services performed you have to go through a lawyer.

Now, I've met some - very few - lawyers that were worth their rates (one of which is commenting in this thread) but for the most part it is simply a title that in and of itself seems to make a mediocre performer suddenly worth a very large amount of money on an hourly basis.

The funny thing is that I suspect the rest of the world probably looks at IT people in much the same way (only we don't have the equivalent of a bar association, and if we did I suspect the minimum rate for a programmer would shoot up).
Gaskets are thick. With wrist worn devices, people are very sensitive to thickness. While those with larger hands don't care so much, people with smaller hands start caring about individual millimeters. I have seen consumer studies done where a 2mm difference in thickness results in a product having dramatically more negative customer response.
Microsoft can probably scrap it for some parts, screen, keyboard, trackpad, motherboard, speakers, chassis. The cover on the keyboard looks like it's once use though.

I think game dev is the way it is because so many romanticize game development. A ton of grads fresh out of college want to get in and are competing for a the limited (but large) amount of work it takes to make a game. The big a-hole studios realize this and charge sub-prime wages because after they burn a dev out there will be another to replace them still starry-eyed from a childhood playing games.

I have read several stories of people leaving game deve for a nice boring job writing insurance software for more money and fewer hours. Many could be doing it the other way around, write software for a lame, but lucrative, insurance company, then make a small lifestyle business writing indie games with a few friends.
The brain has multiple indicators for this misinterpretation. Stars early on in this sentence, narrows down context, Born in makes us even further think of a human star aka celeb, Pairs is capitlized, making us think it is a proper noun, the brain also doesnt read the middle letters of words if you remember that word jumbled experiment where you can still read it. All of this combines together to make the brain on first glance say Paris and not pairs

Manufacturers have much more leverage when the only reliable option the customer has is to buy a new one if the current one fails.

My hunch is that this will pave the way for smaller product manufacturers to spring up with better value for customers.
