Not necessarily as overhead operational costs are lowered with the SaaS model and that's not true 'rent'. Licensing fees would be considered 'rent' but obviously necessary as a motivator for production.
I just think it might be more helpful to think about this as "Putin vs The U.S" instead of "them vs us".

You can probably include his network and the oligarchy in there, but the average Russian citizen shouldn't really have a problem with the U.S.

Before Putin started working on actively fear mongering, our relationship was good and trending upward. They have slightly different cultural values than us, but its nothing like it was in the cold war. Our interests are aligned on most significant issues for the average citizen.

If both our countries could get rid of their current leader we could quickly become allies.

The only important language is the derivation language sent to the daemon. Nix spends so much time building up inputs... for shell scripts. I always felt like they would have been so much more successful if they chose some other, more popular language to generate derivation.
My evidence is that HTTP/2 doesn't help much if at all for lightweight sites, especially if the site manages to hit my target of the first 10kB hitting the client rendering all the above-the-fold information, and especially if the clients are reasonably close to the server.

Indeed, given that HTTP/2 forces TLS (for any mainstream browser) which forces an extra RTT, for light pages my evidence is that HTTP/2 makes things marginally worse...

My philosophy is "If you have fewer than 5 years' experience with C++ and think you are an expert, you just don't know how much you don't know. If you have more than 5 years', then you're a liar."
Though that's usually easier said than done. Communicating openly and honestly is something that a lot of couples think they do, but it's hard to tell the difference between a partner that isn't communicative (or was once communicative, but stopped), and a partner that has nothing to communicate. It's trusting communicativeness to self-perpetuate. In an ideal relationship we could have faith in such implicit self-perpetuation, but humans aren't always perfect, and having an explicit and expected opportunity to communicate new expectations (in the OP's case, via a (perhaps deliberately ridiculous) contract negotiation) might be all it takes to keep communication on track. If it keeps them happy, then good for them!

For what it's worth, the reporter is the a fairly popular author; he wrote "The Psychopath Test" and "So You've Been Publicly Shamed." He writes the you've shown to serve an argument he's making in his books. I wouldn't be surprised if this article is actually a chapter or a passage from an upcoming book of his. He isn't following proper journalistic writing standards, but he also isn't trying to be a journalist. GQ probably wanted to drive readership to their site and their July 2017 issue, so they asked if Ronson had anything in the works and paid him for the rights to publish an excerpt from his manuscript.
Proof will likely never come and those news outlet sources are the intelligence experts saying so. All the intelligence experts say they cannot prove it, all except one group believed it was Russia. Comey was particularly vocal about it.

This is the kind of thing we might never get objective proof of, hacking is too easy to cover up or contract out. In cases like this where not acting could be detrimental and we already have an enemy we were acting against attributing malicious activities to them is reasonable. Trying to screw with your enemy's government's transitions of power is a common tactic at least since the early cold war.

If you had asked me 5 years ago when relations were better and before Putin got all Ukraine and Syria crazy, I would have said "I don't know, it is too premature to act". But right now Russia feels threatened by us and sees weakness in our elections this makes them hacking us fit too well. With that being as close to proof as we are likely to get it is the information we have to work with.

I'm in higher-ed infosys and we see a number of automated registration sniping hacks in our monitoring / metrics. We usually don't run it up the chain unless it's malicious or impacting the service for other students. Otherwise we just investigate it a little bit and share it on Slack with the group if it's clever. The only time we've ever reached out to a student is to ask him to stop sharing it with others (and fix it) because it was performing some really aggressive polling.

Some other schools in our system are really reactionary, though, and consider any automation a ToS violation and will freak out.

e: And if you know the URL pattern / platform of your Uni's registration system, there's probably already a couple of examples on github of a registration bot.
To suggest that there is an culture of sexual abuse and for a number of women not to feel it and to state otherwise is sexual abusive. In fact they went as far as to praise the environment.

It is suggesting that these women's feelings should not be taken seriously.

You are either pregnant or not. You can't be both.

As I mentioned earlier, Eric Holder is a lawyer, the issue has do do with emotions and Eric Holder has absolutely no clinical training let alone clinical training for this specific kind of environment. That makes him unqualified to make judgments.

The question is why wasn't a specialist brought in. Someone who has the clinical training and business training who has experience dealing with hi-tech startup cultures brought in for an evaluation. It makes everything highly suspect.

I am not denying that some women and others may have been put off by the culture. Or that there may have been some specific cases of abuse. But clearly there was no culture of sexual abuse.

It simply cannot be that Ms. Sanger and a number of women were highly supportive of an environment that promoted sexual abuse. They are not crazy, they are not in denial. It was not a pervasive culture.

There is something else going on and to do everyone justice, don't use an unqualified lawyer to investigate, use a qualified industrial psychologist with extensive clinical training. Use the right person for the job.

As I said before, I have dealt with such a highly qualified individual. I use awareness of cognitive biases in my work where unlike Uber, cognitive biases can kill people.

Something else is going on. A properly trained industrial psychologist with clinical training and who knows the hi-tech startup environment should investigate.
Personally, I'm not against the idea in principle. There are some real DSL-haters out there, and I'm not one of them. For a different problem domain, a different language can be more efficient.

It's true that some DSLs are not only different, they're also badly-designed languages or gratuitously different. I guess this is an occupational hazard of DSLs, but it's not unavoidable. It's possible to make the leap to a DSL only when actually beneficial and then to design a DSL that doesn't suck.

What's to stop someone renting an offshore VPS, like say, in somewhere like Hong Kong[0], and that isn't part of the 'fourteen eyes' spying alliance?

[0] https://privacytoolsio.github.io/privacytools.io/#vpn

Also what's to stop someone stacking anonymously-bought VPNs on top of each other (proxy chaining) similar to how onion routing works, and creating their own homebrew Tor? If the VPN provider is peeking at the logs (which it shouldn't be doing), then all they see is another VPN IP. VPNception!

(Something like the SHALON[1] technique is useful for this, for example):

------------

> Abstract—In this paper, we introduce a novel lightweight
anonymization technique called Shalon. It is based on onion
routing, aims to reduce complexity, and delivers high bandwidth.
We have, compared to the widely known approach Tor, slightly
reduced the level of security in favor for greatly increased
performance.

> The most significant advantage compared to other approaches
is that Shalon is fully based on standardized protocols, which
makes our approach highly efficient and easy to deploy. It
also makes Shalon easier to understand for normal users, eases
protocol reviews, and increases the chance of having several
implementations of Shalon available. In this work, we provide
a description of the design and implementation of Shalon, a
performance and anonymity analysis, and a discussion on the
scalability properties.

You should not compare the fastest car speed, but the average car speed, which for this argument would probably be closer to 200km/h. That puts it in a factor of 5 million, which is within one order of magnitude of the original guess.

If they are generating profits, then they are doing something valuable. Are they sucking cash out of the government? Maybe, but it's valuable to somebody. You want to fix it? Don't try to fix the entrepreneurs, fix the goddamn government.

By default, I'd guess, no. But I feel it can and, often enough, is. Many SaaS companies will raise prices year over year without providing any additional value. That increase seems to fit the definition here.
It took me nearly 10 years to understand the line "I believe that trust is more important than monogamy" in that old Savage Garden song. It took an ex who was (I think) physically faithful (at that point) while completely dismantling my faith in humanity to figure that one out.

I don't get it.

The title of the article is "To Stay in Love, Sign on the Dotted Line," but there's absolutely nothing in it that supports the title. All it is is about an unmarried woman whose been in a relationship for only 3 years saying a scheduled conversations and paper an pen (or keyboard in this case) helps her have relationship communication.

The title should really be "communication is helpful for my new relationship."

It's misguided at best to conclude every couple should create this sort of formal contract. Every couple communicates differently.
Yet another post about "technology improvements" that basically is some company (Github) with an axe to grind that wants to reinvent the wheel but has nothing new to offer.

To be more clear, no one is writhing in their sleep, or bemoaning to their team mates, this: "We have no good way to edit text in the 21st century". No one. At best, it's a nice idea to see "what if" we could build an emacs-like text editor using modern day web technologies, just to see what browsers and HTML5, etc, can do these days, and hey, maybe we will learn something and push the browser technology a bit, too. At worst, it's bunch of people with no other interesting ideas and who need to bring attention to their company.

What's next for this Electron crowd? Let's see if we can build a whole operating system into a browser? Oh wait. That's also been done with a lot of noise and no real-world impact. Well then, what about a new kind of spreadsheet? Or maybe we could do some cool photo-processing using only a TI-84 calculator!

Ugh. I'm so tired of this, and this massive post by the dev team at Atom proves the insanity of all this.

They have spent thousands of man-hours "improving" their text editing rendering for their slow text editor (but hey, we saved time by building it on top of Chrome!), and yet they are nowhere near text-rendering speeds of 40 years ago.

But never mind that. They will continue to plug ahead and write more posts about it. Meanwhile, emacs (and Vim) plug along as always.

How bad is it (to me)? I'll tell you. Even though I alter between Sublime (written in real code and not on 'borrowed' code) and BBEdit sometimes, along with Vim (still learning), and even MacVim (the horrors!)... THIS is how bad it is. It's so bad... that I would use TextEdit to edit code before I used Atom. I promise you. I actually like TextEdit and often use it anyway. I sometimes wish Apple would just add a few tiny improvements (but I'm daydreaming) and I would use it for 90% of files and projects.

But Atom? Like a lot of modern day projects (React, Bootstrap, WordPress, Facebook, etc), it's a total step backwards to reinvent what we already had. So that basically "new" people can come along and play - with less understanding, IMHO.

The point is whether it grows useful economic activity, or whether it actively slows useful economic activity.
You can't get $10k to start a hot dog stand but you can get billions of dollars with literally no plan for profit if you're already rich or seeking VC. But want to start a normal business? No capital for you! And your taxes will pay for the banks and VCs when they screw up.
From the article:

>"Because it’s just a transfer from one person to another, rent doesn’t necessarily make an economy less efficient -- it’s just often unfair. "

I would argue that "rent" does make the market more inefficient. The more rent these companies can extract from consumers the larger their lobbying budget and the more campaign donations they can make at all level of government.

Political lobbying is the biggest and most effective tool used by crony capitalists.
I wonder if some of that resistance comes from people here taking the idea too seriously.

Doing a renewable "contract" is just a fun way to be clear about what you want and to track changes over time. We don't even necessarily know everything we want without going through it clearly and out loud. Doing it like this is not some kind of demand but a fun way for people to discover each other and themselves.
I've seen where it could also be seen as a violation of the academic honor code. Georgia Tech has some serious warnings about trying this sort of stuff.
You can't legislate away a cultural problem. See the drug wars, anti discrimination laws, and others. If we're going to be so cheap that we can't add bicycle infrastructure then we need to at least fund a public awareness campaign and possibly start teaching our kids about it.

"If they are generating profits, then they are doing something valuable."

Starting out with a completely unsupported assertion, eh? Bold strategy!
There's the classic/apocryphal story as well of the student who stops a math professor in the hallway and asks a complicated question. Professor gives a long, thorough answer, and the student becomes enlightened. Just as the student is about to leave, the professor asks "Wait, which way did I come from?" Student points out "That way", and the professor goes "Great, then I've had lunch."
Let's set aside the claim that stating an argument can be "sexually abusive"--I can't express how ridiculous that is--and cut to the core of your argument, which, if I may, can be summarized as follows:

When it comes to whether Uber possesses a sexually abusive workplace environment, You are either pregnant or not. You can't be both.

This is perfect example of a false dichotomy.

Corporate culture is not some monolithic thing.

Uber is a 15,000 person company. Individual departments and reporting chains likely varied significantly. That there may have been groups or departments in Uber that did not share the corrosive culture experienced elsewhere in the company is not only within reason, but to be expected.

I am not denying that some women and others may have been put off by the culture. Or that there may have been some specific cases of abuse. But clearly there was no culture of sexual abuse.

Do you work at Uber? Have you experienced their culture first hand? What, precisely, makes you qualified to make this determination, thus invalidating the claims of others who do have first-hand experience at the company and have said otherwise?
Mores change.

A few hundred years ago, most shops did not display their goods. It would have been considered crass to keep wares in sight when customers didn't ask for it, and outright crazy to let customers look and touch at items without supervision.

The department store was a 19th century innovation that let people (women, mostly) browse and shop without pressure. It was widely considered immoral at the time. Emile Zola wrote a great novel about it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_Bonheur_des_Dames

Getting tips from Internet viewers is shocking in the same way as a woman visiting a department store on her own.
