Not at all, many Google oroducts are available, and easily found. The Nexus devices, for example.

Well, as the linked article and the various blog posts show, that isn't exactly true, especially not for people in IT.

In IT you can accomplish step 1 through a job.
It's also amazingly simple to configure (though to be fair that applies to nginx as well, especially coming from apache) and well documented; its performances are great too.

Support is support, Microsoft is very comfortable with Linux and uses a lot internally already. They're also partners with Redhat which is what most enterprises will use anyway.

MSSQL also runs on a abstraction layer since v2005 so there's no inherent problem with running on Linux. Also containers change the entire scenario.
Agreed, but I think what is ridiculous is training your lungs to minimize the effectiveness of your sneeze. That is absolutely ridiculous: your body is sneezing for a reason, let it do its thing (and cover it).
Dumb question; is it really all that important that they analyze traffic on a .gov address? If so, for what purpose(s)?

I know you guys took major issue with the Cloudlfare takedown of DailyStormer but try to look at the big picture. Mankind has never had a tool as powerful as the internet. The advent of the printing press played a key role in the lead up to the Salem Witch Trials. How big a role the internet played in the mess we find ourselves in today as a country, that's up to future historians to argue, but make no mistake the impact is massive and unlike anything we've ever seen. The spread of hate and bigotry on the internet left unchecked has now lead to real loss of life which is what prompted CloudFlare/Reddit/Facebook to push these new policies. How, in the face of actual murders can you contend that these companies are wrong to take down these websites?

Is loss of human life an acceptable cost for free speech?

Tech companies didn't choose to be the society police, yet here we are.

Most people do not have a lot of good opportunities to supplement income in retirement.

> Flat out wrong. They nearly always are. They frequently have their credit impacted as a result of non-payments for credit, mortgages, etc...

Yes, In-fact the only real damage to the so called "victim" is credit rating... ironic since the Equifax leak, really it just outlines that credit reports are not trustworthy due to:

A) High error rate.

B) Integrating shortcomings of corporations.

C) A multiplier of above through data breaches.

None of which are the "victims" fault. Credit-reports are now rightfully meaningless and "Identity Theft" was never easier to argue as a misnomer to a subcategory of fraud... the business being defrauded, as the true victim, held accountable for losses from incompetence.
"I don't think its really the news sites job to care about a products viability for longterm success"

Viability and credibility should not be confused.

Under your definition if I buy the Coleco name tomorrow and send a press release with a high res image of a console then it's perfectly fine for news sites to just republish my press release without knowing who I am, what I have done or whether what I have claimed is true. This by the way is the primary means of funding on crowdfunding sites... I just disagree with you.

20k/year is tough to measure up to. From the Reddit community around financial independence, "build the life you want then save for it". [1] You might look at your expenses and decide "_____ really doesn't provide me much happiness. Maybe I should reduce or eliminate it".

If most people would look at their spending and eliminate the 5% that brings them the least happiness, they would be in substantially better positions financially in the long run. Many people spend 100% of their paychecks and have little to nothing to show for it.

I have higher hopes for their next phone. This first edition was way too basic for my taste. It also showed a lack of experience in dealing with camera.

With the funding they have, I'd rather have them do some sort of acqui-hire over an OEM rather than just hiring a bunch of MBA / former Google employees. They should realize that making a good phone requires years of experience by now.

What you've gotten is an economic framework where companies find and exploit every human weakness they can. And then the presumed self-interest and rationality of the individual is used as a way to make such behavior seem more legitimate.
I use the focus display all the time in "action shot" scenarios – kids and pets. The auto focus is too slow (at least on the X100, X-Trans was supposed to fix this) to capture these, and I can't manually focus quickly enough through the LCD either. It's similarly useful for low-light shots.

The 3rd-party CHDK firmware for Canons has a focus display as well. Loved it when I had a Canon for the same reasons.
At least with the Affordable Care Act (which survived yet another repeal-and-replace attempt this week), it's possible to buy insurance on the open market with a pre-existing condition (which I assume that almost everyone older than their 20s or 30s has at least one). So for now health insurance is an expense you can plausibly budget for and not something that's completely unattainable at any price.
I read many of your comments on this post and still do not seem to get your point.

You argue that there are reasons for the lack in verifications and then that this is desiderable from a societal point of view.

To the question "should a CC provider cover the expenses on CC give to fraudolent impersonators?" what do you answer?
Sounds like YouTube is due for an effective competitor. I see plenty of free porn sites offering reliable quality video streaming, so I don't know what we're waiting for.
> Maybe this is a generational thing?

A factor of mobile and Mac app stores, where people have gotten used to buying an app for $1.99 with free upgrades for life perhaps?

Charging money for a "compatibility with latest OS" upgrade is entirely reasonable - it requires new work and testing from the developer. Not backporting compatibility to 3-year-old versions is equally reasonable.

It's still more generous than subscription models, as you keep the option of not upgrading any of your software (including OS) if you wish.

Yes, but it is much more intimidating working in GDAX. Not to mention that you need to find your account with USD before you can buy anything.

In coinbase you can make a purchase instantly and lock in at a specific price that instant (even if the transfer takes a week to really go through).

In my one case, I bought some at $2700, it took a week to post and actually give me my Bitcoin, but I got it at $2700 even when the price was at $3000 by then (the gains far outweighing the fee of a few percent). But in GDAX I need to fund my USD account which took a week before I can buy.

Yes the fees are less, but if you are looking for simple, spending $5-10 in fees won't hurt for a much easier and more straightforward experience. But GDAX is also fantastic if you are comfortable with it.
I was in this thread looking for this reply. If nothing else, the ability to run code on your Mac laptop running MSSQL server in docker is a huge win, even for what may later be a Windows deployment of MSSQL server. I definitely see the use-case for automating QA workloads and running tests against a real MSSQL server on what is otherwise a fully Linux based build system. The cheapest way to run MSSQL server (TCO which includes the human cost) is still likely Windows, but the docker-izing of MSSQL opens up soo many doors now.

That all being said, I would expect that there are also companies moving to use MSSQL in Linux for production as well, but personally, I would wait a couple of years to hear other's experiences.
I'm demand, trying to find and coordinate with other demand for the same product in order to ensure that there is a supply. Please don't treat economics as normative when it is, at best, a descriptive science. Please don't shit on me for trying to find other people who have the same ideals and want to see them become reality. It's really discouraging and runs counter to the "anything is possible" spirit of hacking.

There are specific reasons the Ouya and FxOS didn't make sense: an open game-console is already rather quixotic when all the games people want to play are closed-source and open non-games devices exist. FxOS was based on web technologies (huge mistake, given that they're garbage and inefficient), targetted at "emerging markets" (read: poor people, who for some reason are assumed to care less about their phones being slow and not having app compatibility?), and didn't make driver promises. If they had at least gotten calls to happen on a mainline kernel once I would have been convinced, but the real goal of FxOS was market share, not advancing user freedom (where hardware support, not userspace/apps, is the bottleneck). I don't know much about OpenSolaris.

No, basically nobody had expensive luxury electric cars before Tesla. This is more what Faraday Future was trying to do - be late to the game and copy, maybe change a few details to try to marginally improve it.

What Tesla did is more like what Apple did - massively expand the "smart phone" segment in the first place.

If you compare the Essential phone to a V30, S8, or Pixel, there's nothing anything near the difference of comparing an iPhone to a Nokia N95. Something that is so compelling it makes you not care about the other things the iPhone doesn't have that the Nokia does, like GPS and 3G. Similarly the Model S vs a 7 series: one has more bells and whistles, one is a fundamentally different product that a lot of people not very interested in the old option find much more compelling.

CloudFlare is in an incredible position for advertising since they are a proxy.

Imagine just dropping a tag like this onto your page:

<display-ad width="300" height="250">

And CloudFlare scans your page to figure out the genre of ad to display, does the live auction, and replaces it with a real ad. Now imagine that for non-display ads like injected content.

Meanwhile even Google has to crawl your Adsense pages to know what sort of content to serve. And they have to worry about things like websites serving different content to GoogleBot. Some interesting possibilities when you're proxying all of a website's traffic.

Even if Adsense let you render ads server-side by proxying user info to them, that's a lot more work for every website owner compared to what CloudFlare could enable since it already is the proxy.

Or imagine CloudFlare encoding live-auctioned ads directly into your videos on demand as part of the video stream itself.
The blog will probably stay on embedded YouTube, where the content might even generate some long tail coin if successful. This seems to aim a little higher:

If YouTube is the home tape deck of video streaming and Netflix/Amazon are the major record labels, cloudflare would provide record pressing and distribution services to indie labels. (Do millennials even understand those terms?) The ideal customer would probably be a smaller Disney competitor who wants to try their luck at selling directly but understands very well that they can't hire a team of engineers matching that at Netflix.

Imagine that your close relative loses a job, and his, hm... "standard of living" goes down X, while someone else on another side of the globe gets that job, and his standard of living goes up 2X. (It's not zero sum, yes). Would you be happy over such an outcome?

I think the larger issue is that some people bought v4 just in time to not be able to use it.

When v4 didn't work with the betas of HS, I would expect them to warn new buyers that they won't be fixing v4. I would also expect them to have a grace period where recent buyers of v4 get a free upgrade to 5.

I don't know the details of whether or not they did any of the above. Just pointing out a (more) fair approach.

Elasticsearch an AWS includes an installation of Kibana for analyzing the indices.

Unfortunately, Amazon does not provide a good authentication mechanism. You either have to white-list your IP or sign your HTTP requests with IAM user credentials which requires running a proxy server.

Iamproxy.com is such a proxy server. After logging in and entrusting it with your IAM user key, you can connect to Kibana with the click of a button.

turbinelabs.io is the whole of everything we're building on top of nginx/envoy. Our primary goal is to provide more powerful ways to release software like incremental blue/green deploys or canaries or production previews. That requires a solid data plane (nginx/envoy) and management plane (missing in nginx/envoy xDS APIs) underneath it to work. Nobody runs nginx because it's fun -- one of the logical use cases for a better nginx is better releases, which is what we work on.

The transition has been good! There's certainly a lot more complexity to implement with the Envoy APIs, but that's because there's a lot of power. Working with Matt Klein and the rest of the community has been really positive. We're excited about all the other patterns that unlocks, like circuit breaking and tracing. Those sorts of features are on the wrong side of the cost/benefit equation for most companies, but if you get them for free because you deployed Envoy as ingress and service mesh, they're great to have.

Where do you get your numbers from? Allergies are a pretty common thing. And the symptoms mimic a cold. Numbers seem to differ, but I'm getting anything from 10% to 30% of adults. [1] I'm pretty sure that makes your numbers bad.

And want folks to stay home? How the heck are they supposed to afford it when they can be contagious for 2 weeks? Heck, folks are contagious before their symptoms even start. How can one allow for that? [2] Most jobs aren't going to allow for that sort of time off, nor are schools. Most that do will require a doctor's note - and it hardly seems reasonable to go to a doctor for a simple cold virus.

but before that you have to go through several iterations of failure with a bunch of costly entitled developers before you get something which sort of approximates what you wanted and is so internally broken its almost impossible to extend

not really ragging on the developers, but its not a cheap or risk free process. and if you aren't actively investing in maintenance it will die. the costs are all just per-type not so much per-instance
We've used almost all libraries with no issues. The only problematic ones are those that try to implement networking code on their own. Appengine has some limitations on the type of networking calls you can do but most libraries support delegating that work. The new Java 8 runtime has A LOT of these restrictions removed.

There is very little appengine specific code in our app with the exception of our data layer. Because we use AppEngine datastore (the only option at the time), we are pretty tied to it. I feel like migrating cloud platforms is always a large undertaking and appengine would be no different. If we were starting today, we'd probably consider using Cloud SQL or Spanner, but the good thing now is that you have a choice.

Aside from the autoscaling, the idea of never thinking about machines is really nice. We never think about OS's, patches, networking, etc.

The other nice benefit is the deployment story. You can organize your application into services, deploy them individually, traffic split between version, rollback quickly, setup staging, etc. Its very well implemented and the fact that we never think about it is really nice.
One of the key insights about his situation, I think, is that you can live on his under-30K budget and not feel super poor, if you don't have regular 9-5 job with a fixed location, if you don't need to worry much about good schools (can homeschool—these two things combine to mean you can choose inexpensive housing with fewer other trade-offs, which makes it easier to have a paid-off house), and if you already have a lot of money and in-demand skills so you can reasonably have much lower insurance spending generally, and especially health insurance. The overwhelming bulk of his budget savings comes from already having lots of money and from having plenty of time to DIY stuff others might pay for. The rest is useful but relatively marginal.

His blog's good for reinforcing that you can spend less money when you already have money, so it's heartening in that it tells you your target income for retirement can be much lower than the income you need pre-retirement. It's not especially helpful for getting there.

That's only half the story. To stay completely delta and gamma neutral, the market maker typically buys not just the share but additionally shorts a call with the same strike as the put.

When he shorts the call it means that someone else buys it. Probably another market maker, who might want to hedge as well, this time by selling the share and buying a put, etc..
Sure that’s what marketing has taught us to desire but if people were educated about freedoms, rights and scary things like PRISM which we can do nothing about, I think this could be a promising start.

Users also won't see contacts who use Signal and do have mutual friends in common, but who simply haven't used Signal to talk to those mutual friends.

Your solution is certainly better than nothing, but it relies on people having actually used Signal to talk to each other in the past. It also appears to involve a lot of P2P coordination. And while it may not share contacts with the Signal servers, it does leak your address book to all of your friends, with potentially serious consequences ("hey, why does Alice have my therapist in her address book?", "Bob told me he erased Carol from his life! Why does he have Carol's key?", etc).
