I'll suggest a dark horse candidate: Indianapolis. Indy is close to two top 5 engineering colleges (UIUC and Purdue) and one top 10 business school (IU). Purdue has a unique product history with Amazon [1] and Amazon has four warehouses within an hour drive (though to be fair, that's true of a lot of cities). The city has seen major investment from outside tech companies like Salesforce [2], IAC [3], and others in recent years. Real estate and cost of living inside the city is ridiculously cheap, and there are hundreds of undeveloped acres [4] startlingly close to city center. The city has proven itself capable of hosting 400,000 people in a single day at the Indy500 every year. The state and city has a history of giving large tax incentives to outside tech companies [5].

Why not stick to irc or xmpp for your in-house needs?
Lots of retail in that area. BestBuy HQ, Target HQ, and a host of others. A lot of their suppliers have satellite offices in the area as well. Seems like a solid choice.
Buffalo NY.

Pros:
-Dirt cheap, so lots of land for Amazon

-Also means employees can afford their own houses, practically unthinkable for a new hire in Seattle. Bigger perk than foosball tables!!!

-Scores of Upstate/Midwest colleges and universities to recruit talent from

-Proximity to major markets of the East Coast, the Midwest, and Ontario.

Cons:

-Snow

-New York State taxes; abatement not as likely as in other states

-Erie County population not quite 1 million

-Snow

-The Bills always blow it, it's like they're cursed.

-Did I mention snow?

Buffalo might not be the best location for Amazon, but it very well could be a good place to grow a company without spending half of your money on expensive property, and the other half on salaries high enough to afford exorbitant rents.

Sometimes tech isn't about innovation, discovery and breakthrough. Sometimes it's about integrating existing technology into the workflow of your customer base. Plenty of businesses big and small use the Atlassian product suite. This is a way for those businesses to have a chat client that is native to their suite.

Tech isn't always sexy. Sometimes tech is just good business sense.
I'm not a recruiting manager. You cant really turn this situation around on me.

I dont make the rules. If your job is procuring or selling a resource and you have little/no appreciation of said resource then you're effectively a spam bot.

Imagine a car salesman said to you "Im a low level guy. I dont really know cars. But I bet you'd look great in this blue one". Does that sound acceptable to you?
There is a need for this kind of kludge because systems that you interact with will lose precision with large numbers. If Arango was the only system parsing the json data that would be one thing, but that is not a real-world use-case.
> Remove it in the prior version to get all of that discussion over and done with. When the next iPhone comes out, there'll no longer be outrage about it missing a headphone jack.

Seems reasonable, but if the next iPhone is the massive redesign everyone is expecting, wouldn't have been easier to remove the jack and play it off as a requirement of the new design? "This is the iPhone of the future," etc.
Remember how Modular phones have terribly failed? Essential is now trying the same but not sure where it'd get with that!

That said, Don't you think even now we've got wireless streaming with bluetooth or wifi which Headphones can make use of to move forward with headphone jack missing?

If this were their goal removing the headphone jack is the last thing I'd expect they'd look towards. For starters there's the packaging itself which is way larger than the couple millimeters they could maybe shave off the phone itself.

That land is not registered in the Land Registry doesn't necessarily mean that it's held in some kind of perpetual corporation. Compulsory registration on sale was phased in after 1925 and, IIRC, you weren't obliged to register land if it passed by inheritance or gift until very recently. That doesn't mean that inheritance taxes weren't paid. It's not uncommon to come across unregistered parcels of land in conveyancing even now; they're simply registered when it becomes necessary.
looking forward to this having the option for private self hosting.
Wait, what happened to HipChat? I get that it's not as sexy as Slack, but honestly they're all basically just IRC with images and some other integrations. Why start a whole new project (which presumably isn't XMPP under the hood).

From memory, Slack started out as a HipChat competitor. Not to mention, what is the on-premises story going to be (which was a major selling point of HipChat).

This article also mentions that a large portion of these cases seem to be Muslim. The obvious reasoning behind this is that the Middle East and its large Muslim constituency is one of the US' largest security concerns, and it has been for many years. Things have been happening under the table there since the Iran-Contra affair and probably even before that. I'm willing to wager that the other non-Muslims on this list are from or connected to areas of similar interest (Eastern Europe, South America, North Africa, etc).

The subject of this article may be inadvertently a part of something he has no knowledge of, or may have regular contact with another person of interest who seems otherwise unrelated to his everyday life. There's a lot of possibilities here that don't require the magic power of racism or prejudice to make any sense.
But isn't Seattle expensive because of Amazon being there?
Definitely. Water resistance is almost irrelevant to normal use, as evidenced by the fact that the world has been using non-waterproof mobile phones for close to two decades and people didn't complain that much.

Also, it's not a real trade-off, as currently, everyone except Apple somehow manages to make a waterproof smartphone with a headphone jack.
The same is said about Indian outsourcing (expensive in the long run), right?

I think many people miss the fact that boring jobs with low wages will not attract talented programmers. Same holds true when you outsource jobs. Send interesting jobs and pay for good Indian programmers for quality results.

healthcare.gov was a clusterfuck not because it was complicated (a typical data integration task with a query layer) but because of the quality of programmers and managers working on it.

>Interesting results, but they may not be testing for the right personality traits.

As with any scientific reporting, the probability that they're not testing for the right thing is inherent in their experimental design and analysis.

As they state, it's very unlikely that error led to this case.

Generally, your results must reach a certain probabilistic rigor (95% chance the listed results are due to the listed reasons), so that there is a 5% or less chance that the effects being observed are due to design failure or similar issues.
I am putting my hope into Slack cloning this feature similar to how facebook cloned g+ circles or snapchat. Hopefully it will be usable and not like they added "Threads".
Gates moved Microsoft back to Washington, his childhood home. Does Bezos open an office in Miami?
Honestly, because it's a race to the bottom. On top of that, there have been many instances of companies negotiating massive tax breaks only to relocate again after a few years.

Those tax dollars are better spent making the city more attractive to people and improving the universities. This will provide for more organic growth through startups founded by people anchored to the city by their social network.

> 100-140 miles is more than adequate for nearly all of the United States.

Keep in mind that an EV rated at 100 miles probably won't go for 100 miles for a number of factors just like most ICE vehicles won't go their maximum range. The difference is that most ICE vehicles have far greater ranges so it's never an issue.

My old Honda was rated at 26 MPG city and had a 17 gallon tank so in theory I could go 442 miles. In practice I never felt comfortable going above 330 miles on a tank. The low fuel light came on around 280 miles and at 300 miles the fuel gauge was on empty. That's only 67% of the range it could go. Of course when I filled up it was only 12-14 gallons so there was probably another 100 miles in the tank. The car still cautioned you not to go the full range of the tank.

EVs caution you in the same way as ICE vehicles. When the battery gets too low in an EV it can be damaging, just like running an ICE dry can damage the fuel pump. Most EVs will warning you at around 20% capacity and at a certain point will kick into Turtle mode to prevent you from drawing too much current and damaging the battery. If manufacturers hid that 20% capacity the way an ICE vehicle fuel gauge hide their true capacity then suddenly that 100 miles EV is an 80 mile EV. Maybe that's what they should do but they don't.

My EV is rated at 84 miles and my commute is 25.4 miles. So when I get to work in the mornings I should be at ~58 miles of range. Yesterday I arrived with 60, one time I arrived with 44. That's a big range and a number of factors come into play. High winds or rain introduce drag which sucks range. If you're heavy on the pedal then you're going to get a reduced range. Oddly I get better mileage in heavy stop and go traffic and reduced range on wide open freeways.

Now you might say everything looks good and 100 miles should be plenty but what if I have to take my kid to an appointment after work that's 12-20 miles from home? I have two such appointments each week, one is 24 miles round trip and then other is 40 miles. Suddenly a 100 mile EV becomes a nail biting situation. The reality is that people do more than just commute to and from work, they have lives that demand traveling on occasion.

But I can charge up! Maybe... but not always.

LV1 charging takes 18-20 hours to charge my car from 20% to 100%, it would take longer with a 100 mile EV.

But what about LV2 or DC Fast Charging? It's not always an option for people. I have to pay $4000 to have my breaker panel upgraded and a 240v line run to my garage for LV2. Some people live in apartments and condos and might not even have the option to install LV2. I can pay for LV2 charging and there's a DC Fast charger along the way to one of my appointments so I can make my EV work with my schedule but that can't be said for everyone.

If people were to drive calm, cool and collected all the time, and they had access to LV2 or DC Fast Chargers in most places then a 100-140 mile EV would be just fine. But that's not realistic right now. Perhaps in 20 years when robots drive us around and the infrastructure is there, but not today.
Not being available on-prem continues to show how poorly Atlassian treats its enterprise customers.

* No feature parity

* No pre-built packages or support for configuration / infrastructure management - everything must be packaged completely from scratch, without recommended package specifications or Dockerfiles etc. to build off of. Nope - "here's a tar.gz. Have fun!"

* No proper enterprise support and no access to source code. We have a couple feature requests which are deep, burning desires which we'd love to either throw money or developers at but we can't because we have no relationship with Atlassian and we have no idea if Atlassian will ever address them because they don't publish product roadmaps.

* Essential enterprise products like Crowd and Bamboo get short shrift and make it clear that communication inside Atlassian is lacking.

Example: Bitbucket Data Center shipped with support to enforce GPG-signed commits. But because Crowd won't manage user GPG public keys, administrators can't revoke user keys without disabling access to Bitbucket entirely (so, GPG keys never get revoked), and Bamboo administrators can't enforce that project builds only use Bitbucket repositories with GPG-enforcement enabled, so for enterprises which actually need to enforce audit trails (for compliance, for building trust with deeply conservative customers...), the feature is worthless.

Another example: Bamboo supports elastic build agents... but only on AWS. No support for vSphere, OpenStack, or heck any other public clouds like GCE or Azure. No Dockerized build agents for build jobs which don't themselves need Docker.

Another example: Crowd is utterly lacking of any kind of investment. Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition? Supported. OpenID Connect? 2FA? RSA SecurID? Yubikeys? lolnope. It finally got active-active clustering this year, though, so maybe that's a good sign?

It's too bad their suite is in a class of its own because for all its faults, it's in a class of its own. Everything else sucks, one way or another.
> the potential risks

I'm willing to tolerate a pretty high level of risk. I either drive my car or ride my bicycle to work 5 days a week. I've gone scuba diving before. I rode a motorcycle for 30 years (I just sold it). I occasionally eat fast food. Crazy, right?

For 23andMe, do you know of some ways that people have actually been harmed by their test results? I wonder what percentage of their customers regret signing up?
That seems to be a project waiting to be written. It's clear that IRC can be good enough but slack wins because of the smooth on-boarding for non-technical people.

I guess noone has built it because for techies, IRC is good enough, and there isn't a clear path to monetizing it?
Or "envision a future" where they "sell more stuff."
I got this for Donald Trump, interesting:

" Personality
Donald j. trump is a rather confident and stable person and usually keeps his emotions under check. not easily fazed by any situation, he is usually dependable under. He is a relatively positive individual and likes being around other people. He has a good social circle and can be assertive when needed. He is emotional and judgmental. He is likely to be compassionate, cooperative, even tempered and helpful and is sometimes taken advantage of because of his trusting nature."
> When you encounter imperfect systems like this in the future a good practice is to ask yourself if you know what the actual desired outcome is, and give the lossy filter the input it needs to get you to the next round.

I feel like this is one of the most fundamental skills I learned in school. You don't answer the actual question, you provide the response that they are looking for, even if those are different. This is doubly true for machine graded multiple choice exams.

We had a biology teacher in high school who, in order to keep things fair, made the system very clear: when answering essay questions, he had a list of a dozen or so points he wanted you to mention, and you were graded by how many you hit. It didn't matter if you had a brilliant thesis or whatever, if you didn't recite the relevant parts of the book and lectures back, you lost credit.

The biology barely matters, but I couldn't have asked for better training in dealing with recruiter (and hard headed managers, beurocrats, etc).
An older relative of mine uses a machine like that. He uses the butter to bake edibles for his dad. It's really helped with neuropathy and pain management.
The thing is that writing a Dockerfile is basically the same thing as packaging a deb/rpm

The difference is the language is more friendly to entry level usage.

You still had to learn something. And they made 1 file-ish which traditionally most package managements weren't.
isn't the packaging added later?
We've been pretty happy with https://gobuffalo.io so far. We're serving up a Vue.js app with it. We needed a single binary to deploy on a client's server with no external dependencies and buffalo fits the bill. It comes with a cli that runs webpack and does hot reloads on save. It also has a build command that will bundle all the assets up to shove in the binary.

I don't know if you can surmise that older people can't become grandmasters. I doubt that older people have the time that younger people do to practice. Also, as the article talked about, older people are less likely to be vulnerable (ie temporarily look dumb) in order to get better.

So I think, there isn't enough data to conclude that someone older can't be a grandmaster. Though, most people won't be a grandmaster either way, so there aren't that many data points to go off of.
I don't understand why people want to write something off without even trying it.

This is not'nginx'. You can't sit and write this off because Apache did something similar ten years ago. The build in API alone is worth exploring.
> modest tech scene

Anywhere Amazon puts a HQ is going to have a pretty decent tech scene pretty rapidly.

> no great CS/CE universities

Columbus is 90 minutes away, and Amazon recruits internationally. Close proximity to a good CS program is hardly a strict necessity.
It's worth noting that it's rarely necessary or desirable to put an app server like nginx in front of Go HTTP server applications. The Go standard library http and TLS stack are production quality and rock solid. Putting something in front is mostly cargo culting from people more used to the worlds of PHP/Python/Ruby/etc.
When I started with apache, I thought it was great, but after moving to nginx, the speed and simplicity made me never look back. While these new features to nginx aren't new to the world, they are a nice welcome addition to a system that IMO is far superior to apache.
I don't even mind the touchbar and the USB-C ports, but I wanted them in addition to the existing ports/keys, not instead of.

4 ports is just not enough.
The problem is that actual computers do not have parallel copy instructions. Did they count the cost of simulating them through moves? (I knew the people doing this research, but it was almost 10 years ago so I am a bit rusty).
This is an interesting concept. The issue is educating the customer. Most don't know they must have this, or it becomes too cumbersome to use the devices. I do believe Symantec is trying with their new router, but currently, it looks too walled garden to be useful or practical.

>The pair of letters is the country code and shows up as a flag. So just 26 codes to make all the flags in the world. Plus new ones can be added easily without having to add more code points. Another example is the new skin tone emoji.

Still not answering the question though.

For one, when the unicode standard was originally designed it didn't have emoji in it.

Second, if it was limitations to the arbitrary addition of thousands of BS symbols like emoji that necessitate such a design, we could rather do without emojis in unicode at all (or klingon or whatever).

So, the question is rather: why not a design that doesn't need "normalization" and runes, code points, and all that...

Using less memory (like utf-8 allows) I guess is a valid concern.
