Thanks for this link - it gives a good summary of the state of the industry... which hasn't changed much since 2013 (when this piece was published).
Same here. I thought I was the only one.
Weirdly Netflix and Youtube showing up as “Background activity” when they both have background app refresh turned off.
NYC and Chicago mostly.

I'm talking about those who are exceptional producers and director level and above and including all forms of compensation including guaranteed bonus minimum and a percentage of pnl at a trading firm.

Articles like this will never prevent you from making your own mistakes. They can help you see your own behavior when it matches the rules ("I'm breaking rule X, dang!"), and they can give you a way of talking about it with other people ("Like Paul Graham says, do things that don't scale")
My favorite is the, "a keynote upgrade is available" on each launch. Only to find out after clicking its "only after you update your OS!" (I'm was on mavericks)

And the "please use iCloud..."

On cars we used to call them "guilt buttons" for plastic shaped like buttons on the dashboard for options you didn't purchase.
There are a few main differences:

- EnvKey runs as a hosted service, so it doesn't require setting up or managing your own secrets server. A self-hosted version is in the pipeline, but I thought there was a need for something lighter-weight than Vault for teams that want to secure API keys and credentials without a major DevOps investment.

- EnvKey comes with a UI that makes it really convenient to manage development, staging, and production versions of secrets and config right next to each other. It also offers some useful capabilities like inheriting between environments YAML-style.

- EnvKey's integration story is much simpler. Using bash, for example, this is all you need:

ENVKEY=ZeyyAM4S2EJ3PWUvK652-5awRZi1wVwFSsh1S (in a gitignored .env file in development, or an environment variable)

eval $(envkey-source)

And now all your secrets/config are available as environment variables.

- For now, EnvKey is especially focused on application-level secrets and config, and less on OS-level secrets like SSH keys, ssl certs, etc.
I think your characterization of Buddhism might be a bit one dimensional.

Tradition Tibetan society, for example, seems very hierarchical to me.

> But unless there is some kind of consensus among different countries, including those that have free trade agreements with the US (e.g. NAFTA) to change the terms, it seems rather unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Yes, Trump is trying to renegotiate NAFTA. Not sure the details or what he's trying to do with it. It does show it can be done though. I'm fairly suspicious of all our trade agreements. I'm sure they have a lot of US industrial influence in them and not a lot of worker influence.

>Besides, I wonder how much more expensive that alone would make manufacturing in other countries. AFAIK a significant reason for labor being cheap is COL being cheaper in other countries.

That's a good question. I would assume the cost of putting environmental regulations in place would be substantial, but not sure about the labor rights.

What I do know is you can buy a hunk of land for real cheap in the middle of nowhere in the US as long as you don't mind:

1. No water
2. No electric
3. No sewer
4. No road
5. No nearby hospitals
6. No nearby grocery stores

In other words, I think our infrastructure has a lot to do with our COL.
If you look a bit further into Chinese history, it makes sense why they're so hesitant of the west - China was literally screwed over by the West for almost a century (see Century of Humiliation, the Opium Wars, Unequal Treaties, having British military in their capital, etc.). They went from being a leader of the world to being treated like crap by the West in a fairly short time period. This idea of "Chinese Exceptionalism" came from this innate desire for China to be unique again (the original "Make X Great Again").

Mao's success I think reinforced some the idea that the only way for China to stand on its own was to be united and strongly controlled and maintained. The hundreds of years of having different clans pre-Mao (or weak dynasties like Qing) just didn't work.

While I might not completely agree with their arguments, it's worth understanding Chinese criticism and their skepticism of the West. China is literally 4x the size of the US with a very rich and complicated history and thinking, so we can't just assume you can put in Western democracy/thinking just like that. Sure a lot of it may be encouraged by the party, but I think a lot of is much deeper than that.
Trump is deliberately using the language and tactics of his political enemies against them in a kind of counter-trolling demagoguery.

This is ugly stuff. The discourse has descended to the level where the media is dominated by two different groups of extremist trolls taking potshots at each other using the language of outrage and grievance. The rest of us are caught in the middle and our society is becoming deranged as a result.

No, I didn't have power tools in mind when I said that. Anything with a motor or more than a few moving parts is worth shopping around.

The basic hand tools and precision instruments are the Craftsman products I find are still worth using. The wrenches, torque wrenches, calipers, hammers, screwdrivers and the like. Nothing electronic or mostly plastic.

Boil the ocean is an expression meaning do the impossible, so I don't think it matters much if we have a responsibility to do something we are incapable of. It does matter if we do the next best thing, and that's where the trade offs come in.
I would argue that this has been happening for a long time.

Example - China's Special Economic Zone program. Districts which have lowered administrative and regulatory barriers, specifically designed to attract foreign capital. Shenzen's SEZ has existed since the 1980's.

And that's not to speak of the numerous foreign enclaves that have existed throughout the years, from Hong Kong , the International Settlement and later the French Concession in Shanghai, and the numerous foreign districts that have popped up more spontanously (e.g. Jing'an, Shanghai)
I struggled with this building Pragma. I was going to a crowded market with established incumbents. Most early talks with customers would always lead to "How is it better than Wordpress, Webflow, Squarespace, etc." So I started to feel we have to tick all the boxes and product never felt shippable.

However, two weeks ago I took a step back and thought what if we can ship a product in 48 hours and get people to pay. The result of it was Page.REST. In reality, it still took 7 days to launch it properly, but it had 10 people paid customers after the first day in business. That was a revelation to me and gave me a different perception of the approach.

I can attest being in the market is the best way you could learn and iterate a product (no matter how simple & rough the early version looks).

PS: I blogged some of my learnings from shipping Page.REST - https://www.laktek.com/what-i-learned-from-building-pagerest...
Ha it's like Subspace! But... not as good. Subspace deserves a web-based conversion.
Chinese engineers didn't make the hoverboard. If anything the hoverboard example disproves your example as they just copied the hoverboard from foreign companies.

I know what you're point seems to be even though you aren't communicating it very well. I do think you're missing the fact that producing goods cheaply does not make you a leader in tech. Besides quick fads like hoverboards or fidget spinners China does not have much traction with actually producing and selling products. Things might be made in China but they are designed by foreign companies and the vast majority of the profit leaves the country.

It is very clear you think he argue for it, but does that matter? Ask people here, is there anyone who is arguing that gender affect a person ability to do the same job? Is anyone who has voiced concern about the aftermath the Google memo affair explicit said that they think so?

Do gender affect a person ability to do the same job? No. Until you find someone who says "yes" to that question, should we not all rejoice over the fact that we all agree 100% on the answer is this question, and only disagree on the interpretation of the intentions behind an internal memo?
The incentives weren't just rent control but also white-flight population decline leading to decreased rent rolls leading to reduced property valuations that weren't yet reflected in insurance valuations.

And much of that white flight was due to the Federal government funding interstates to the suburbs and subsidizing mortgage loans for whites only that made suburban houses cheaper for white middle-class families to live in than urban apartments.

Or just don’t worry about China.
I did a fair amount of volunteering in my kids' school. There is a huuuuge difference between the effective teachers and the teachers that parents like. The school is a public school that uses a lottery to determine admission because 200-250 kids apply for 100 spots each year. Because of this, parent involvement is considerably higher than an ordinary school. You’d expect that this would be the kind of school that would embrace great teachers.

There are a few terrible teachers at the school but they aren't the ones that the parents complain about. As long as a teacher is nice and most kids get good grades, nobody complains. The most hated teachers are the ones who actually try to get kids to behave better and learn more. This is because most parents look at test scores when choosing a school, but they don’t really care about their kid’s score. (It’s easy to rationalize a poor test score--"The test doesn’t measure what’s wonderful about Taylor.") Instead, parents mostly want their kids to be happy and stay out of trouble. A teacher that doesn’t make her students work very hard and doesn’t demand good behavior meets those criteria perfectly.
Last time I asked, Enterprise SKUs were only available if I took 50+ licenses. Being a single person sole proprietor like yourself, that was obviously non-starter.

Another option was Action Pack, where I would get 10 licenses for a very nice price, with a bunch of other products, but that would be only usable for development or testing, not for production (i.e. not for daily use while running the company).
Sorry, if you don't move to SF, attend burning man regularly (and use the Experience to completely define yourself from then on) and disavow any right-leaning views, you have no right to participate in the startup world. Well, that's how it feels as someone living in the midwest who has tried to be a part of startups.

I lived in California for over a decade and the entire startup thing was almost too easy to participate in. Money thrown all over the place, easy to find new startups or participate in your own. But god help you if you don't feel like living in California.

>China's ruling class further cement their power at the cost of China's innovation and future growth.

Talking about innovations, there are few areas where China is ahead of the whole world - like AliPay and WeChat payment systems. I am wondering how you gonna explain China's success when its GDP surpass United States one.
Try thrusting so your velocity doesn't take you into the central swarm.
Teach to test + inflated grades - If that turns out to be true, then I suppose that is what parents want. Who else should be the one deciding how/what students are taught?

Weaker students - Maybe. But if weaker students are being overlooked then that could also create a market opportunity for other teachers to focus on those weaker students. Again, I would be hesitant to predict any specific outcome, only that teachers would be more responsive to what parents wanted.
You learn something every day, thanks!

Speaking of BSD. While the OpenBSD guys are not on the Humble charity list, The FreeBSD Foundation is, and both Peter N.M. Hansteen and Michael W. Lucas (the authors of the two of the respective books you mentioned) seem to be into FreeBSD also.

So to anyone else buying the bundle primarily for the books on OpenBSD, and who happen to support FreeBSD also:

1. Log in or create an account.

2. Go to https://www.humblebundle.com/store/select-charity/charity/21... and select it as your chosen charity to support.

3. When you go to pay for the books adjust the sliders so that you give some percentage (I chose 100%) to charity and under charity adjust the slider for The FreeBSD Foundation (once again I chose 100%).

Deal? Deal!
you're correct, there are many many different varieties of Buddhism. It's more correct to talk about Buddhisms since it's not just one thing. In the Chinese context though we're generally looking at Mahayana schools ranging from apolitical to anti-authoritarian. The Chan/Zen school founded by Bodhidharma is particularly anti-authoritarian though.
If it is a foregone conclusion that they have the file, then they already have enough evidence to prosecute the individual, since possession of the file is the crime, compared to the tax file where the contents may be evidence of a crime, but is itself not a crime to possess.
> What gets paid to support children is called child support, not alimony.

In most jurisdictions, child support is more than the cost of raising a child. In Canada, equalizing incomes was the goal of the latest round of child support guidelines, not "support for the child".

For a US reference, see http://www.divorcecorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/The-Ec...

> I spent two decades supporting my husband's career. When we divorced, he still had a well paid job and twenty years work experience. I was starting over from scratch and was "lucky" to get a better-than-minimum-wage job to start.

And you should get compensated for that. The question is really how much, and how long.

> It aggravates me that the world as a whole acts like having kids and raising them is only a financial cost to men.

In some sense, it is. See research on the wage gap going back to the 1960's. Never-married childless women earn about the same as never-married childless men.

Once people get married and have kids, men take on additional work to pay for their kids. Women take on less work to take care of their kids.

This means men have higher "out of pocket" costs than women do. But women pay the "opportunity cost" of raising kids. Hence alimony.

> if you just don't want children at all, there are several viable solutions:

None of those are truly viable. They're necessary conditions to not having kids. But not sufficient.

In practice, a women can name any man as the father if she wants. No paternity test is necessary in most jurisdictions, and such tests are illegal in parts of Europe! In some states, if the father is notified of such a child and doesn't contest it within 30 days, he's determined to be the father, and has no right to fight it after that.

See any number of cases where men are paying for kids they didn't even know existed, who DNA proves aren't theirs.

The guy doesn't even have to have sex with her. If your girlfriend's room-mate sneaks into the room at night, grabs the used condom, and impregnates herself, well, as the man, you pay for 18 years. No choice, or you go to jail.

> That whole "sleeping with me will destroy your entire future" vibe is a distinct turn off for me.

As it is for men. The reality is that women hold essentially all control over reproduction. Women can choose to get pregnant, and can force any man to pay for their choices, for the next 18 years. At the threat of jail, losing jobs, passport, drivers license, etc.

It is entirely rational to be wary of such side-effects.

The point here is that while your choices have cost you, men don't have some magical happy land of money, cigars, whisky, and bro-hugs. There are costs and benefits to the choices made by both sexes.
> the Chinese are used to such exercises of control by their leaders

When was the last time the Chinese elected their leaders? the fact that they are "used" to this doesn't mean they approve. If there is a consensus, then let the Chinese people sanctify it with a democratic vote.
That sounds like a pretty nice setup. I'm running a small (3 node hopefully 5 node in a few months) kubernetes cluster to dogfood things for my own home use. What do you run, some sort of a NAS with them?

My point was that by the time of Babylon 5 it was cheaper to use CG than using plastic models and cameras.

The quality wasn't quite as good, but within a few years it was both cheaper and better than plastic models.

mamon's argument is that with plastic models the "end result wasn't that great, but it was enough to get by". The same argument applies to Bab5.

That's why I disagree with mamon's argument.

I'm sure Zuck just meant to pick the Chinese name, not the official English name. My half-Chinese son still doesn't have one, my wife having rejected my proposal of 小囧.

It's mostly a tech demo now. There is one mechanic that is worth a few minutes interest. Can you make it into Hyperspace? If you're really good, you can do it without firing a shot. If you're not that good, then you can thrust away so you're not going towards the center, then snipe the 3 attacking ships. After that, it will be easier to figure out how to get through the stargate without the attackers.
> The people who will get ahead in China in the future are the ones who are somehow able to live outside of China to experience new ideas.

There are more people in China than in the United States, Europe, and Russia combined. China already manufactures your clothes, chips, computers, phones, and missile chips. I don't think it's correct, given the world's dependence on China, to say China is somehow behind the times (wrt computer innovation).

Yep.

> which results in more economic development

Yep.

> which allows the ruling class to become even wealthier and more powerful globally

This one does not follow. It's probably false. Even if China gains a ruling class that is wealthier than the current one (what isn't a given), there is no reason to think the same people will be there.
>It is better but what are the chances of that realistically happening?

Not sure if this would work for you but still... After having a lot of problems communicating with my business partners in China, I bought a second (cheap, chinese!) phone and installed WeChat, Weibo and a host of other apps on it.

Parent is saying that the content of email is almost always transmitted in the clear. While the connection from client to server is (hopefully) secure, the server can see the plaintext of all messages passing through it — which it helpfully uses to provide some server-side facilities like search and filtering — but if someone hacks the server they get all the mail.

Contrast with more recent messaging protocols (e.g. iMessage, WhatsApp) where the server doesn't have access to the message, they're decrypted on the client (while potentially also authenticating the sender).
