YubiKeys are $18. Not $5 but that's in the neighborhood, and they're relatively new. Prices will come down.
The account for sure. I wonder about everything else though? Maybe it's naive but it seems like you could create a "presidential" tweet anywhere from their DBs to their CDNs.
> Do you think that employees stick around because the CEO/leadership says "we've got this new direction we are super excited about" and they would bail if they got "nothing... has created a viable business"? That is, are the employees who stick around happy to stick their heads in the sand as long as the leadership throws out the "we're excited" bone?

I think you underestimate the capacity for people to delude themselves. Change is painful and a change that leaves behind a projects that you've invested heavily in is even more painful (sunk cost fallacy). Talking about the realities of the situation shatters that self-delusion.

You also fail to account for morale. We've all heard of tightly-knit teams who managed to succeed against incredible odds because they believed in what they were doing; the converse is much less talked about: teams that believe they cannot succeed, inevitably won't.

So, from a management perspective, it never makes sense to admit one is in a "Hail Mary" situation, even when it's patently obvious.

> EDIT: I should also say that I'd likely go to the mat for the person who's honest about the hail mary.

Bluntly, why? Your family and your future retirement depends on your income and career success. If the prospects for success are that bleak, how does it make sense for you to take on that risk personally? "For the good of the company?" For your own sake, I would hope not.
I'm not a machine learning expert, but isn't this an easily solved problem?

Similar to TF/IDF, where you mitigate common words by dividing by their overall frequency, you should be able to divide the weight of any particular "like" by the frequency of likes between the two people. That way a genuine expression of interest by an acquaintance is weighted far higher than a relative or close friend that reflexively likes everything you post.

I'll add my experience with the "PBR Glossy" demo:

Windows 8.1

Chrome: 144fps

Not sure why IE11 is getting exactly half the framerate of the other two, which are maxing at my monitor's refresh rate. At least none of them hanged or crashed.

three.js seems to be more well known/established than babylon and I had initially picked that for playing around. However, I got to go to a session on babylon at a microsoft conference and it was given by one of the authors and was pretty impressed. I had a freelance contract that needed some webgl and went with babylon and i'm glad i did. It better performance and the object names and concepts seemed easier to follow and a little less obtuse. IIRC, the presenter said that they are extremely diligent about working through bugs and issues on github and that three.js had quite the backlog. It helps that babylon is essentially being underwritten/subsidized by MS, where as three.js is more your typical open source project.

If you've invested tons of time working in three.js, then it may not be worth switching over. But if you're dabbling, it is definitely worth checking out.

However, all of this was about 2 years ago, and you never know what has changed.

I did this with the Papa John's webapp a while back (which was waaaay simpler btw). They limited duplicate toppings to (I think) 3 of the same, but "duplicate_item" was just a numerical property on the (e.g.) "bacon" object. Turns out you could just add multiple "bacon" members to the toppings array to exceed the limit, and they didn't charge for duplicates, so I ordered a pizza with like 50 bacons.

It definitely didn't have 50x worth of bacon, but it did have more than 3x, maybe 5x-6x. The receipt was hilariously long though.

This is super interesting, especially the part about trying to reverse engineer their "security" measure. I did something like this a few months back for Paylocity, a time logging system that has a terrible web interface. After trying to talk with their sales people about them potentially offering an API, I was told "no API, just this mobile app." Turns out the mobile app is just an Ionic app with all of the resources (all, including tests and even test environment logins and stuff) baked in. Super easy to grab their API out of that (literally called /mobileapi/), but then the trouble was figuring out how they generated their security token header, which was also a little dance of timestamps and faked device info.

The best part was when I contacted them afterwards and warned them about the extra pieces of info they had baked in, their response was basically "yeah, we're aware that there's more in there than there should be, but it's not a priority." Oh well, they just have all of my personal information.
Umm there is always a choice as to wether or not you want to use a good or a service.

Pretty much any open source project that was to need certs similar to plex would pass this limit the moment they mentioned it on HN. Why should an open source projected have to register hundreds of domains just to handle this case? Someone else gave a long list of the number of devices and services running in his house that need certs like plex. Effectively every router, nas, IP camera, and other networked device that exposes a web interface and therefore every open source project that does those, OpenWRT for example, FreeNAS, ZoneMinder, etc...

"Creating something of value causes envy. The community cries: no payola!
In the banal bickering of bureaucrats you must take part.
And help Comrade Castro carry out war in Angola,
Or face therapy nursing home style – you old fart,"

I find these libertarian type arguments, wherein the government is just there to steal from the people who are creating value, to be disingenuous, and quite puerile.

They of course ignore all the external inputs that allow the protagonist to 'create' whatever it is of value that they claim ownership over, such as education, law-and-order, scientific research, and all the other requisites of a functioning society, which are of course funded by taxes.

But even beyond that they rest on a central fallacy (IMHO), that a free market is the perfect model for how society itself should function; the law of the jungle.

Free markets are a specific tool (good at fostering innovation and efficiency) to be used within the context of building the kind of society people want to live in, not the other way around.

You can probably achieve what you're looking for by stacking a few filesystems. For example, you could create a separate ZFS pool/vdev with a single full-disk zvol on each disk. Then use mdadm to create a RAID array of the zvols. Then put ext4 (or whatever) on the mdadm array.

I've done something similar for the purpose of getting FDE with ZFS in linux. It can be a little finicky, but it's definitely workable.

One ZFS-specific caveat (which may conflict with your desire to get high storage efficiency): you way need to prevent your ZFS pools from filling up too much [1]. You can either enable discard/TRIM on the whole stack, so the top level FS (e.g. ext4) can let ZFS know when a block is actually free. Or alternative just to limit your zvols to 85% (for example) of their respective pools. The latter is my preference, because there was originally a bug with discard in zfs and it's not immediately clear if it's totally fixed (although my fstrim tests seemed to work out fine).

For example, women who have difficulty walking are much less likely to be asked about contraception or receive cervical cancer screening, in part because doctors assume they’re not sexually active.

Wow, these are doctors who went to medical school and are crystal clear on how to have sex, right? The hard cold facts are that a very large percentage of all individuals with disabilities are the victims of sexual assault and many schools request girls be on birth control "just in case." People with disabilities are curious and have hormones driving them crazy just as no disabled individuals do.

I have worked for many years in this arena and I have a daughter with disabilities. It was a fight to get my daughter the HPV shots but I won and she received them. I also know that women I have worked with received substandard GYN care and many received zero GYN care. When a severally disabled bed ridden young woman with severe cognitive impairments in a state run institution ended up pregnant everybody ignored it until they could not longer do so. Then they simply asked how rather than who, when, etc. Everything became about preventing the outcome in the future when my concern was preventing the sex given her total inability to consent. Of course the investigation produced no conclusive evidence...???? But the pregnancy was pretty darn conclusive so clearly something happened.

Sadly there are far too few Drs to treat individuals with disabilities and far to caregivers/conservators to fight for appropriate care for those society still sees as third or fourth class citizens.

The simple answer to your question is no.

The more complex answer is that over time as you write more data, ZFS will re-balance the distribution of data over the available zdevs.
As a former employee I have to say that Kaplan did a very fine job of running the place into the ground. Kaplan management managed to take an industry leader with first mover advantage and completely squander it by myopically focusing on quarterly profits. They really should have switched to a pay-after-getting-a-job tuition model that schools like AppAcademy offer. That would have simultaneously better met the mission of serving diverse students (students who can't afford $17,000+ and living in an expensive urban area for almost five months) and improve long term outcomes.

The pay-after-getting-a-job model creates virtuous cycles, because the schools that implement it suck up the most prepared students. Schools not offering that model end up with the leftovers after admissions to the top schools.

Arguably colleges and universities should also adopt pay-after-getting-a-job but that would probably hurt their bottom lines substantially. It definitely creates the correct alignment of incentives for the school to educate well.

Pretty amazing too, considering Kaplan has very deep pockets and could easily have financed the slight lag in revenue switching to models would have required. To me it just reeks of old-school short sighted corporate management thinking.

For a bootcamp to not adopt pay-after-getting-a-job just shows that they lack faith in their own product. Funny because many schools end up having to hire lots of their alums as a way of bolstering their employment numbers.

On a closing note, huge props to all the extremely hardworking teachers and students who went through DBC, they made it an amazing place despite all hardship. I made many of my most meaningful relationships there and I witnessed tremendous transformations in people.
Being able to use it while it's still charging is a really useful fallback scenario, though. Imagine if you couldn't use your phone while it was charging, if it was unusable until it was fully charged again. No one would put up with it. Yet a mouse is vitally important too!

What surprised you when you first became an engineering manager at a startup?
I hired an engineer yesterday, which makes us a two-person startup, and me a manager.

I've worked as a software engineer for almost a decade at a giant company, and mentored multiple junior engineers and interns, but I was never a people manager, and in any case, things are different in a tiny startup as compared to a giant company.

When surprised you when you first became an engineering manager at a startup?

Wireless could help with the literal last mile. The cost of deploying broadband becomes exponentially higher as you near the edge due to the sheer number of links.

Hundreds of megabits with one mile range is easy now and is faster than many cable plans. Gigabit is on the horizon and probably achievable within 5-10 years, especially with enough spectrum. The problem is that current available bands are a poor choice for this. Some bands dedicated to last mile ISP service that have better range and less interference would really help.

Not what I do anymore so it isn't a surprise, but yeah, I was unaware this got a fancy name. In the late 90s, I built almost exactly what's described in article for a dot.com for a bulk mail delivery manager. Seemed like the obvious thing to do.
Why would their API need to be anything more than what they offer to their app? Why not something like "hey, you can use our stuff, but you've only got access to the same set of APIs we use in our app, and we may change it as we please.

Oh btw, here are the auto-gen'd docs, hope those are enough"

That seems like it'd be both developer friendly and no more maintenance than they're already putting into it. The alternative is basically things like this, where someone figures it out anyway, and we have to wait and see if they play it cool, or take it badly and make the author take it down.
What's the motivation for Starbucks to make it this difficult to reverse?
Neither of those limitations apply to modern Java decompilers (eg, Fernfl0wer).
So you're saying the app is so small and extremely simple that even at full load jank isn't an issue, that multidex and size aren't an issue because you're not forced to focus on startup times and there are hardly any assets.

And I'm not saying that skeptically, I really believe it. Which is all the more reason that I don't see why you'd go with the using Scala. I don't know if you're referring to Lucidchart but I just look at that app and I can definitely see how it might not have to worry about jumping through hoops to shave startup time from a high method count or loading large data sets with tons of serialization and performant animations where built in immutable collections have unacceptable GC implications.

On the other hand you can apply that same reasoning and say it doesn't matter that Scala was used. But then you wonder why the "case study" should be considered by others, who probably don't have the luxury of having a small minimally animated app that can ignore stuff like method count effects on startup speed. To me the things that separate a top 50% app from a top 1% are things like high method counts affecting startup time on slower devices. It's not like Kotlin doesn't have issues that mirror those in Scala, but because it's essentially a "thin wrapper Java" with a slim standard library it's easy enough to identify when you're going to run up against parts with those performance implications
As soon as it was confirmed, people started shooting neutrons at various things. In 1938 they were shooting them at Uranium to try to produce trans-Uranium elements. When they found Barium instead of transuranium, it was discovered that sometimes Uranium fissions, releasing an astounding 200 million electron-Volts of energy per reaction. Soon after, it was confirmed that Uranium fission releases enough secondary neutrons to cause a chain reaction if Uranium atoms are placed close enough together, meaning it should be possible to make a runaway fission chain reaction, aka an atomic bomb.

Einstein was relied upon to raise the alarm to the US military, and by December 1942, Fermi had a chain reaction running in a squash court in Chicago (Chicago Pile 1). Uranium enrichment efforts at Oak Ridge, TN and plutonium production efforts in Hanford, WA (using the world's first high-power reactors) ramp up. Bomb engineering occurs at Los Alamos, NM.

July 16, 1945 a Plutonium implosion bomb is tested: the Trinity shot. On Aug 6 and 9, the US drops atomic bombs on Japan.

By the 1950s, people are using chain reactions for peace: medicine, industry, energy, space travel. Other things were tried but abandoned: nuclear excavation, commercial nuclear propulsion, nuclear explosive fracking, you name it! Today ~70% of the carbon free energy produced in the USA comes from commercial nuclear chain reactors.

It's kind of crazy how things went after the neutron was discovered.

The attack surface is the same whether the API is officially open/documented or not --- if you think that data received through a web API is somehow more trustworthy/less demanding of validation just because you haven't documented it and only release an app which uses it, you are doing it wrong.

Conceptually, it's just a listening server on the public Internet, and will be subject to arbitrary data anyone willing to connect to it can send.
