As a permanent resident with a pending citizenship application (who came on the visa mentioned at the end of this article), I find this incredibly alarming.

I have nothing to hide, despise terrorism and the fanatics that commit it, and wish no harm on others with different social, political, or religious views. But I'm familiar enough with history to know how badly this can end. "Papers please" had consequences, especially for groups targeted for political reasons.

Just last night I was browsing Wikipedia articles on various Presidential/political assassinations after watching an episode of the PBS Vietnam War documentary that is currently being aired. Earlier this week I tried to sign up for Snapchat and discovered an active account based out of Saudi Arabia that someone had set up using my email address (via an unverified email address I assume - thanks SnapChat). I can't read arabic so have no idea what was being shared on that platform from "my" account but based upon the images it looked critical of America.

It's not much of a leap to imagine being accused of various things based upon your browsing history or social media, especially if actions like this (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/15/543782396/...) become more common.

The rational part of my brain keeps screaming "This is America, it can't happen here, especially if you have nothing to hide" but I also find it difficult to ignore the historical and current warning signs.
this is a classic example of moving the goal posts. according to modern sensibilities Job's tale is one of a sociopathic, malevolent God, therefore it must be simple a "tale" not an actual historical account, otherwise our loving father Jehovah would be worse than Charles fucking Manson.
This is the biggest mistake that people make. Social media is NOT a private sphere. There's nothing remotely private about posting things to a public service on the Internet over which you have no control. We need to stop treating them as such.
It's actually somewhat different. AWS Lambda is intended to act as your origin server. Generally your Lambda functions run in a small number of locations, not necessarily close to users.

Cloudflare Workers will run in all of Cloudflare's 117 (and growing) locations. The idea is that you'd put code in a worker if you need the code to run close to the user. You might want that to improve page load speed, or to reduce bandwidth costs (don't have to pay for the long haul), or because you want to augment Cloudflare's feature set, or a number of other reasons. But, generally, you would not host your whole service on this. (Well, you could, but it's not the intent.)

We haven't nailed down pricing yet, but we've worked hard to create the most efficient possible design so that we can make pricing attractive.

I'm not disagreeing about efficiencies, I'm saying the way to do it is actually do the work rather than simply slash the funding and assume that the correct efficiencies will be implemented. I think that is what is irresponsible.

Can you point to any specifics about what is inefficient? I'm not doubting that it is the case, but when you say you've never seen it is that because its never happened right in front of you or you've looked hard for it and it just isn't there? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I think we all have a tendency to criticize things we don't understand as well as we would like to think and I try to resist that urge unless I actually know a lot of details. After being a developer for a few years, I'm a lot less likely to criticize some piece of software or code someone else has written until I actually analyze it myself and try to improve it, often times I find there are reasons for a lot of the corners that were cut or hacks that were implemented. Not always, but as often as not I can't actually improve something as much as I would have initially assumed.

Just providing nominal values and comparing them to values decades ago is so basic BS marketing strategy. Any investor who wants to figure out risk levels must put it all into context. Usually it means ratios.

Nonsense. If I administer an IQ test to 1000 people in their 20s, and then retested them in their 60s, I'd be performing a classic within-subject test, where I could easily assess whether test performance increases, decreases, or doesn't significantly change.
lol

But honestly, I've grown tired with all the doom-and-gloom oracles every year, they irritate me much more than the "everything is fine, nothing to see here" ilk.

And when a recession finally happens, you'll see all those broken watches on a daily basis in the media proclaiming they "predicted" it in 201x and nobody listened and I'll have to really hold myself not to smash the monitor...

On a side note, who (apart from the few investing) cares if cryptocurrencies are a bubble? It's currently not even a footnote to the global economy
Well, yes and no.

We've finally cracked the nut with renewable resources. Its cost a great deal of environmental damage, but I see no good progression to go from hunter-gatherer to high tech. That's just entropy laws.

Now, it could certainly be argued that certain trajectories should be followed and aren't. But progress costs.
He recently said (paraphrasing) that it wasn’t particularly productive investing in Fusion when there’s a giant, very efficient fusion reactor in the sky. We’d be better off improving solar panel efficiency and energy storage solutions.
Well for starters it is clearly hyperbole. There is no way Yahoo particularly wanted to be part of everyones porn surfing for example - Tumblr notwithstanding. And you'd find plenty of other niches where Yahoo made no attempt whatsoever to enter.

And outside of investment in Alibaba, their involvement in online shopping was marginal. In fact, Yahoo's premium services was always marginal across the board - I spent years trying to push product teams to find services they could potentially charge for in Europe, and from what I can tell my replacements had no luck in that respect either.

Instead Yahoo actually divested a number of services in that respect. Yahoo! Personals was sold to Match.com, and while it may have been co-branded for a while, that's long since lapsed in most markets.

So either Yahoo dramatically failed to follow this up in any reasonable way, or the actual intent was a lot narrower. Or both.

But what does "be a part of" even mean? Have an ad on the page? Be recognised by the user as providing the service? Providing content? Provide the tech? It really says nothing. It doesn't say anything about the purpose either. Is it to sell more ads? To grow the brand? To drive people to premium services?

It's a non-statement.

To me it's a statement that's basically carte blanche for whatever management happens to want right now, but it's certainly not providing focus.

And while I would interpret it as directed towards media, I suspect it did nothing to e.g. clarify to the company whether Yahoo was a media company or a tech company. Maybe intentionally, because there were a lot of people in engineering when I was there who did not want to accept that what mattered to Yahoo was connecting eyeballs to content, and that.

OpenFlow and P4 address different levels of abstraction in switching.

OpenFlow (in its original form, for simplicity's sake) says "Hey, we have a match/action table with these 12 fields. Here's a way to put stuff in those fields and the switch will match and act accordingly."

P4 says "Hey, we have this piece of programmable silicon. Feel free to define the sorts of tables you want, the protocols you want to switch on, and we'll then give you tables and an API to program."

You can write an OpenFlow pipeline in P4.

Also, maybe take a look at the original OpenFlow paper [1] and the original P4 paper [2]. Nick McKeown, one of Barefoot's cofounders, is an author on both.

Hum... you wanna tell the guy who's totally revolutionised the space industry, doing things rational people would have thought impossible not so very long ago... that he's doing it wrong?!

I'd hazard that companies which achieve truly impressive things, often do so because of how decisions are made. You need benign (or not so benign) dictators right in the weeds with their teams. Put layers of bureaucracy between Elon and his engineers, turn him into a board-meeting CEO... and SpaceX would lose one of the fundamentals that makes it special.

There is a very low barrier of entry to cubesats, that is something you can get into if your country doesn't have a space program.

Yes. Currently you get at most 50ms CPU time per request, and memory usage of your Javascript VM is limited to 128MB. These numbers may change before launch.

In practice, though, a typical script probably uses much less than 1ms of CPU time per request and probably needs only a couple megs of RAM. Because we're applying limits on the level of a V8 Isolate, not on an OS process, the limits go a lot further.

Keep in mind that Cloudflare Workers are not intended to be a place where you do "bulk compute", but rather where you run little bits of code that benefit from being close to users.

The housing bit interests me but I can't take it seriously when they're pointing at the single most irrationally priced area in the nation to make the overall situation look similar. Yes, if you want to live in SF you can expect to pay utterly idiotic amounts. But that's pretty much isolated to SF.

That doesn't work for all clients. It usually will, but I have seen some make HEAD requests for inline images to try read the expected download size to display this to the user - if this happens then the server obviously gets the full URL including tracking codes so has a fair idea the mail hit a valid mailbox.

Maybe I'm being contrarian but how is this a big deal? I'd expect the government to be collecting all public information for its citizens and those visiting the country - why not? This isn't private info, it's publicly posted social media information, which is VERY easy to set to private if you wish.

If they were collecting private info or browsing data, sure.
In many cases social media accounts are like public records of your contacts. You're already giving your data to those companies and anyone who pays them to access it (depending on the TOS of the platform).

It feels different to me than "programming". But, I wouldn't be surprised if they checked my Github account or something... And if I don't want them to see my Github account, then yeah maybe I shouldn't have a public Github account.
Australia has similarly draconian monitoring of it's citizens. The whole blow-up about metadata in the US surprised me, because I was already conditioned to believe the government was reading all our actual messages. A couple of years ago there was a violent confrontation between white Australians and Lebanese, and part of the news cycle around that was the media nonchalantly reporting on the contents of text message conversations the white supremacists in Australia were having. Australia probably has an even broader reaching surveillance state, but Australian media never reports on it because the Australian people and its government have a far less antagonistic relationship than that of US citizens and the government.

C++ is pretty much the only game in town for those having those alternative languages running at all.

When LLVM, GCC, JVM and CLR stop being written in C++, then we have sound alternatives.

Java Metropolis or .NET Native with Rosyln are not there yet.

Rust doesn't seem to be taking over systems development at any major commercial OS for the time being. Hopefully it will, if Fuchsia ever becomes a commercial product.

Swift is pretty much an Apple only language and isn't fully stable yet.

So until then, I rather take a polyglot approach C++ and Language X, while helping drive away the C style coding that plagues our stacks.

I don't know where you live but consulting agencies usually also offer payrolling: they manage all the admin/tax/pension stuff and charge less than 10%. Some even charge a flat rate (I paid about 120% of a single day's wage, but I've heard of people paying 80% or so).
That is correct. However, the design is very different. Lambda@Edge is, from what I can tell, based on running a full Node.js process in a process-level sandbox for each customer, whereas we are embedding V8 directly.

> For instance, why do we not see in every client a big warning at the top saying something like: “NOTE: YOU HAVE NEVER RECEIVED E-MAIL FROM THIS INTERNET LOCATION BEFORE.”?

Because that is way too dangerous a policy. Recently, I moved, and in creating online accounts for online bill pay, I got confirmation emails from each of my utilities. Saying that they're spam just because you've never received email from them would cause most people to be unable to find these confirmation messages.

> And, why by default do they insist on making everything look “simple” and “clean” at the expense of helping users to do even the most basic validation? They show senders as short names like “Facebook” when CLEARLY the message is coming from facebook.spammer.com or whatever when you do even the slightest digging into the original message.

Uh, my email client doesn't do that. If the email address isn't priorly known, it shows the email address instead of the display name.

> Why are “rules” so complex, since damn near everybody needs them for basic sanity? There ought to be a button in every message saying something like “Mark Every Future Message From This Sender as Junk”, and similar short-cuts.

Most spammers don't reuse the same email addresses. You end up with a lot of useless rules. Bayesian spam filtering is much more effective, for example, and requires very little user action.

At the moment there's lots of time wasted walking to some gate at the far end of a massive airport. There's only one company here and one or two flights that go straight up and don't need to taxi. So the travel time in the boat won't be much more than the walk from the terminal to the gate.
The problem is that conservatives find working-class-specific programs offensive, and liberals construct elaborate social programs where a hefty chunk of cash vanishes into overhead.
