Great read. I agree that Kafka is overkill if even necessary for most applications. I have been using NATS Streaming [1] which has the same properties as Redis Streams for some time and it is wonderful.

Not an answer to your question exactly, but to the whole premise: Gruen transfer [0]. We have a great TV show by that name here in Australia that deconstructs advertising.

We still have identity theft in Europe, though the procedure to accomplish it effectively is usually more involved.
Exactly this. I’ve been on the recieving end of ID theft before. It was a pain in the ass for a small time, but mostly resolved with a few phone calls and 3 letters sent out. Still this is better than what is being proposed in this thread.

I’d really prefer not to need to carry around utility bills and other nonsense every time I need to conduct business. I’d also bid those folks consider what happens when you are homeless or otherwise don’t have a fixed address with utility bills in your name.

What are you basing this on? I'd like to see your Drake equation variables.
I'm super happy to read that you plan on improving search!

I really like Sentry, the UI is pretty good, but still a bit counter-intuitive or limited in some way. For example when looking at an issue, I click on a release in the "last seen" section on the right it takes me to the page dedicate to this release, but when I click on the release tag for the event (at the top in the main section) it link to the global search, from which if you click on an issue it won't show you the event for the release. There is also no easy way to see the event for an issue that only matches a specific release (you have to do the exact search yourself).

I also have trouble with the release management and the regression detection but that's because we have multiple production branches in flight at the same time. I guess we're a bit outside the expectation here :)
Those checks you talk about, involve using SSNs at some point. Also, these checks are not scalable.
I think, because you have not lived within a system without an id mechanism, you have no idea of the set of challenges you face as a business as well as an individual. Just think how would you prove to a lender your financial status. You would have to give him a copy of documents of all your assets (bank statements, property documents), copies of your tax returns.

Here I thought most people had heard of NFC and are going cardless with Android and Apple pay.
Yep. Deep down everyone knows this but wants to hold onto the delusion that their "unique" skills and ideas are what made/will make them rich.
What, I can't simply post to any login/register/logout uri's and expect either a redirect with configuring headers back or an object that let's me manage the token manually?

EDIT: I've been trying out keycloak and it looks great but I've always assumed I just had not figured out how to make that happen. As the documentation is quite large and of the harder kind.
Their largely manual, layered-over-retail fulfillment model has inefficiencies that cause higher costs and stocking issues vs. the high-efficiency warehouse approach that Amazon has perfected.

[citation needed] you mean the "perfected" approach they are shutting down in 9 states? (https://www.recode.net/2017/11/3/16601488/amazon-fresh-cance...)

noting this as an engineer on the team that does order fulfillment @ instacart and who actually knows our model...
Having a personal relationship with the person you're loaning tons of money to so you know they are who they say they are? I know it sounds ridiculous.

And if your excuse is "well, we're too big to know our customers!" maybe you shouldn't be in the business of loaning money.
This is why early employees take more risk then the founders, and i would like to see this acknowledged with more compensation commensurate with the extra risk.
It already is a crime if you tell the bank that they have made a mistake and they don't correct it. It's not hell to fix it. You just have to send a few letters.

It also already is almost all the bank's problem. After all, they are the ones that lose the money in the scenario you describe.
I've known two chefs who've gone on to start their own restaurants over the years, and the one thing they have in common (other than smoking) is they are REALLY highly strung. I don't just mean a little anxious/fidgety - they quite literally don't seem to be able to sit still even for a few seconds. Even little actions like pulling out a chair to sit down happens as fast as they're physically able to do it. Noisiest people I've ever known!

Neither of them have actually worked as a chef in years, and one of them hasn't set foot behind the counter at a restaurant since 2004. I can't even imagine the constant time pressure chefs, and undoubtedly restaurant owners must feel for this type of behavior to manifest and basically never go away.
>1. Write as little code as possible

This is really sound advice that took me years to appreciate. Just like the "Roll Safe"-meme, it always comes back to me in a similar expression like from a now 8 year old blog post on MSDN - "Source code is a liability, not an asset!"

You can rank anything by any arbitrary metric and divide the population into deciles, even subjective judgments of attractiveness. People get ranked and sorted all the time. IQ, FICA, GPA, etc. It doesn't make them any less human; it just quantifies the discussion.

She's a person all right, and likely more attractive than I am in the opinion of any judge you may care to ask. And that's part of the reason why someone wrote an article about her, and we're here discussing it, and why I am a faceless pseudonymous nobody that can only aspire to an upvote or two on HN.

I'm irrationally prejudiced against attractive people. That's somewhat rare for them, so might be disturbing. But it doesn't matter much, as my opinion doesn't really count for anything anyway. I have no power to act on that prejudice. Attractive people get all kinds of preferential treatment from people that can actually make a difference in their lives, so they don't particularly need some sour-grapes ugly to like them, too.

I may give an unattractive person more slack, simply because everyone needs to feel like they belong to some community, and mine might just be the only one willing to accept them. Attractive folk need to do more to signal their commitment, just because they have so many more options. But that's not a high bar for me. Sexyhacker has hacked hardware, and proved it on video, so that's quite enough to consider herself a real hacker, in my opinion. If she were ugly, though, I might just take her word for it. In the end, that's my problem, not hers, and nobody should be trying to make their problems into hers by tearing her down with unwarranted libels.

Those are arguably facets of a single identity.

A bit of advice from someone who was in the restaurant industry for 7 years. Don’t start a restaurant especially if you work in tech. 80-100 hours a week for managers and owners is mandatory.

Tech is easy money compared to what it takes to create a profitable restaurant from scratch. The author made the same mistake I’ve seen people make before.

This guy did no research at all and sadly this is extremely common.
Yes.

It's easy to understand why the victim of this type of fraud (the banks) would like to shift the damages onto an unrelated third party (the person whom the original perpetrator is purporting to be); it makes life much easier for them.

What's not clear is why anyone else would would go along with it. If someone breaks into my home and steals my microwave, I cannot then break into my neighbor's home, steal their microwave, and then claim that my neighbor was the true victim of the burglar. I am the victim of theft, and now that I've stolen my neighbor's microwave, he is also the victim of theft. It doesn't cancel out!

I think it's important to be clear about what's going on here, who the victims are, and who they are being victimized by.
What's different from Usd markets if bitcoin is currency?
The article states no one would loan him money, since he was a first time restauranteur with zero experience. He cashed out his pension.
Hmm, really? I've never heard of any cases, what does it look like?
Sounds to me like he started his restaurant with way too little experience. He was an amateur cook who had never even worked in a restaurant. Even a bit of experience as a cook or waiter would have helped by giving him a sense of how things work. And ideally he would have had some experience on the management side too, maybe as an assistant manager.
If you're not planning to order a few hundred thousand after the first 2, I wouldn't give you the time of day either.
There are a few ways I can go mitigating this.

1) One of them is to provide PageDash with API access to your s3/gcp bucket so that it syncs your pages out to your bucket.

2) Providing an open-source viewer to view files saved within your bucket. It's just like serving a website, really, no more processing needed.
Sectional, yes. I recommend it, it's very comforable.

How Snap Just Gave a Middle Finger to Its Voteless Shareholders
I think it’s absolutely in the nations best interest that the president has a way to get his message out directly without filtering by the corporate media. It’s a lot harder to misconstrue someone’s words when anyone can look at them (and better yet- passively see them, rather than having to go looking)

Whether Twitter is the best medium for that is another question, given the character limits and demonstrated unprofessional behavior by the platform owner. I bet his account gets a lot more exposure there than a page on whitehouse.gov would.
I feel like there is more to add?
Are there statistics for how common it is in various places, and what amounts are typically being stolen?
Naomi Wu wrote about why she dresses this way in her FAQ:

"Beside personal taste, the other issue is my appearance is effective. Female Makers- or Women in Tech are rarely featured in Chinese news, it's just not something that gets much interest and there is no community of like-minded women I can look to. Sexy girls are still the delivery vector for nearly all messages in tech here. If I want to get my message out- that these new technical tools are accessible, and that there are well-paying jobs available for women that master them, I have to do so in a way that will actually reach my audience. I'm sure the high road is nice- but in China, no one will hear a word you say while you are on it."

I don't see the harm in everyone doing as much as they can with the cards they are dealt. The alternative is a dystopia like Harrison Bergeron (http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html)
Its all about authenticity. On average, the more positive a picture a leader paints of the future, the better, as long as it’s believable and rooted in truth.

There’s huge latitude to give a more positive or negative vibe while still staying reasonably within the constraints of facts.

Some people are so charismatic they don’t even need to respect the constraints, but a lot of times that doesn’t end well.
The idea is that there are already a bunch of hard drives being wasted.

Since self-hosted is a requirement (?), then you might also find EffectiveDiscussons (ED) interesting — here's how embedded comments looks:

https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments (scroll down to the bottom)

it has more "modern" features than Isso, e.g. FB and Gmail login, & some new ideas. Here's an about page with more info: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/blog-comments

(I'm developing it.)

Embedded comments requires JS, but ... the discussion forum part of ED (not embedded) works like Web 2.0, that can fallback to Web 1.0 (I mean, static HTML with no JS). Although this is only partly implemented.
The really interesting cases, to me, are the Jan Koums and J K Rowlings of the world.
There's an old saying "you gotta have money to make money." It's absolutely true. As I get older the more money I have the easier it is to make more. It actually feels like the game is rigged.

That being said, just having money doesn't guarantee you'll make money, of course. It takes skill, knowledge, ambition, and luck.

Wasn't it Mitt Romney that said something like "anyone can start a business, just borrow $20,000 from your family?"
That is a brilliant analogy. I would add that some kids may naturally have a better arm, so success is not solely correlated with number of tries you can afford.
y, take the money and keep your day job.

Make sure you have a new contract (or your old one) that allows you to do your own thing on your own time, that being products, a SaaS or consulting.

Consulting is hard work generating 6 figures on your own, even at $75 to $100/hour. So I think you would bank more with less stress at your $200k/yr day job.

Instead of consulting I would plan to do products (info) or SaaS in the future.

I think more power needs to be given to the person whose identity is stolen. Similar to how the chip and pin system was rolled out: If a fraud is committed, the entity with the least secure method of transaction pays. That pushed retailers to upgrade their systems.
Sure, a photo copy of your ID and your address might seem more personal but ultimately the SSN is just as personal because someone can ruin your life with that one number + your name. In that sense it seems like you are already giving out the most personal of information to some random employee at said business.
I had work visa and had similar thoughts and was deferring starting a business until green card.
I was wrong.
Building business takes time, and there are a lot of tasks that could've done on work visa, even without idea:
- networking (future customers, employees, investors)
- market analysis
- marketing (content marketing through blog, twitter)

One way to find feedback without investing into coding - talking to potential customers or people inside targeted market. This I wish I done while I where on work visa :)
At this point I think we've both disposed of the idea that the $50,000 in credit card debt is the burden it sounds like. I'm mostly writing because, again, I think a lot of people from that generation are loathe to defend themselves against credit card companies through bankruptcy law.

Either way: if she's getting good counsel, she's not paying the credit card companies. They're not getting another dime from her.
What leads you to think Intel will give him more autonomy? Or is their integrated graphics team setup differently than Radeon? I would suspect the old ATI boundaries after 11 years would still be stronger than something Intel has homegrown over the past 20.

OK so your post boils down to "VCs want to see growth or prestige". It's actually that they want to see customers and revenue, not necessarily growth. And so the sentence "VCs want to see revenue and customers or prestige" is completely reasonable.

Look, if you're a VC who goes to those "clubs", and you trust the people there and are comfortable giving them your money, _great_. Why should they be handing it out to you, with your no-revenue company and no prior associations?
No. Apple, and perhaps other manufacturers, insist it not be there.
The shape of an eyebrow does not indicate an extrovert, at least not with any better accuracy, than a Human interviewer can achieve with five minutes of conversation. And then there is the question whether introvertedness is even a disqualifying trait in a sales representative. A good team will probably have both introverts and extroverts at some ratio.

Yes, it's "bad science". But it's also bad business. It's the same with genetics: As soon as we have a full understanding of risk factors and beneficial traits, and we're far from that, people competing for a job would probably all have multiple "bad" and multiple "good" qualities, which cancel out much of the benefits of testing in the first place.
I saw a guy in line at a fast food drive-through on a horse a few months back. I don't know if there's laws against it but he was just riding around town like it was car (small town). Haven't seen him since so IDK what the outcome was.
I've suggested this before here, but the card companies need to give other companies like Equifax reference numbers to store that uniquely identify the card to the credit card company (or others) but don't give the credit card number and don't get anybody closer to charging anything on the card.
No, at least some of the IDs in Europe is valid in all or most of EU. In Sweden, the ones given out by the police is valid in EU, while for example drivers licenses is not (as an ID. They are valid to drive with).

A point that Gordon Ramsay makes is that consistency is more important than peak food quality for a restaurant. Occasionally serving bad food does way more harm than occasionally serving amazing food does good since many customers will not return after one bad experience and you won't establish regulars if your quality is not consistent.

What McDonalds and Starbucks do well is produce consistent (though not particularly high) quality at a price people are willing to pay and with staff who are not coming on board particularly well trained or talented. They also systematize / automate a lot of the other things you mention.
Yep — thank you for the hard work on that over the years. For me HTTPS + CSP was a good denoising traffic but it was still memorable for just how broken the web environment is, especially internationally (not just the Great Firewall, either – I should have saved what looked like a tracker being injected into requests from an Iranian university).
Isn't it legally required that you carry your ID at all times unless you are within 200 meters of your home? That would horrify most Americans. I know it is not in reality, but it sounds totalitarian.
Just like a tree forks into many branches allowing the tree to receive more sunlight and grow taller, Bitcoin forking into Bcash attracted more money into the market for both than original Bitcoin alone.

You could view Bitcoin + altcoins = total crypto market cap the same way..

You could also argue that if Bitcoin didn't fork previously, the total price of BTC alone would be higher than both forks now. Who knows?
This may seem overly picky, but this really is just a list of ways to measure customer satisfaction, with next to no commentary on why you might focus on one, or which ones are valid.

Almost every business owner I've met (a few notable exceptions) gave off this exact vibe. "If this doesn't work out, I'll just scoop into the money vault and try something else. No biggie!" Most of us get three strikes at bat so we go for the safe base hit. These guys get to keep swinging so obviously they all go for the home run.
In a world where failure is perpetually bailed out and real entrepreneurs are constantly squeezed out... Who would a known?
I think the problem is that if you work a tech job for 5-10 years you are way out of the middle class. Middle class is generally 50-100k/year. 5-10 years of experience in tech should put you well past 100...

Your idea of "saving money for when you quit" doesn't work for middle class as the amount you save is not enough for "living on ramen for a few years" -- it will likely not be enough to even pay rent.
This: She owes $50,000 on her credit cards.

Go to any bank rate calculator[1] and look at what a $50K debt in credit cards does to you. If you learn only one thing from this cautionary tale it should be how expensive credit card money can be.

Without that debt she would not be in great shape but she would be a lot better off.

You can configure the cloud firewall so that only VMs in your account with a certain tag can communicate, even over the internal network.

Public network + firewall feels dirtier than private network, but in reality they are the same thing: a network that’s only accessible to your VMs, to the extent that you trust the provider’s software to enforce that boundary.

I think the hope is that it is centralized through the government so that there is direct accountability to the public.
That's correct. It worse now that a motivated irate customer can magnify the damage to small restaurant with only a handful of bad reviews.
This is pretty cool! I know it's new and all, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself when saying that it would be nice if it supported other languages aside from Python. I know that iPython supports Ruby, Perl and Javascript, and there's a plugin for Julia, but it doesn't appear to be supported right now. I am still on the waiting list to play around with this however.

Also, integration with Google docs for the purposes of data processing and data handling would be incredible! But that's just me dreaming.
