I talk to workers here in Canada the starting salaries and benefits are about average, definitely not 'highest in the sector' or any such nonsense though maybe in Europe they are in order to attract employees. Here they are expected to do 10-12hr overtime shifts every day, and work as hard as possible without breaks to make bonuses which are inconsistent, and because there's no union representation harassment galore goes on with managers phoning you at home all hours to answer non-critical questions that could have waited until your next shift.

Every time a monopoly arises, that is the market telling you the most efficient way to produce the good is with a single centrally planned organization, and that competition is not possible or effective.

A monopoly is the market's way of saying an industry/service should be nationalized.
It's intended to show the FCC Chairman how things might end up if he rolls back Net Neutrality.. The goal is to protect net neutrality by making a point personally with the FCC Chairman.

"the mechanism behind the ICOs is a solid one "

No - selling a 'fantasy number' in exchange for real currency is not 'solid' model.

ICO's have been big recently because buyers were hoping to get in early on a pyramid-like scheme. (Yes, I know it's not quite pyramid), i.e. it's been hype.

Because ICO's offer no ownership of assets ... well ... in the long run they're not worth much.

And 'ownerhip of an economy' is not saying much if there is no economy.

Kik's Kin coins are down 80% and not only that - Kik has 900 Billion of the Kins they can dilute the 100 Billion in market with, meaning another 90% devaluation is coming.

And Kin's get you a share of what economy exactly? The 'Kik' economy? There is no Kik economy.

Yes, I believe it's net positive for a project because I tell other what I am using and they get interested, this helps a project get more mindshare and some of them will eventually contribute.
Channels have a performance overhead over handling the locking yourself. Maybe look at stuff from Tyler Treat to learn more (maybe his most recent talk? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ4d_PZ6Gns) but there are some other discussions (mostly with earlier Go versions) but maybe something changed?
Hopefully, but all he said was "fanout" which could be either.

He knows it's implemented wrong, that's the point of the article: that Go doesn't make it easy for him to implement it right. The only question is the degree of wrongness. :)
Run Pokemon Emerald ROM in Your browser
Hi there,

this is a toy project I worked on for the past months. It's an early stage pokemon emerald emulator. Maps, tiles, animations, warps, sprites etc. are extracted from the provided ROM file.

After dragging a ROM file into the browser window, you can walk and explore the complete pokemon emerald world.

The game engine is created only for testing purposes, you will encounter a zillion bugs.

If you don't have a ROM file on hand (Attention, large GIFs):

The same entities in other parts of the world will take similar action, because of the inherent problems with ICOs as a financial instrument.

But it won't matter - the SEC won't have to do anything.

After the flood of ICO's this year - investor will see how most of them are bust, and will pull their money out.

The market will correct itself on that one.

It is so soulcrushing and depressing to think that somebody who appears to be a kind and sensitive person had to go through that much pain. I have seen a couple of fairly miserable days in my time, and I still was not even close to seriously consider ending my own life. Maybe I am just strange in that regard, but maybe that means this person had to suffer a lot more than I could ever imagine.

Life can be hard miserable enough - more than enough! - even under the best of circumstances. That some people still would go out of their way to make it worse for others without any real need is something I do not think I will ever understand.
Read. :P

To quote what you replied to: "And there's many other callers of this function that are potentially getting bad results, along with other cousins like bio_clone_bioset that are still unfixed."

bcache doesn't call bio_clone_bioset. I put in the minimum change to fix the bcache regression, for quick review and acceptance. You're free to submit this to linux-block if you want.
Being open source is a basic need for people to trust a cryptocurrency. Whole stack needs to be open source: nodes, miners, clients, documentation, release plan, organization structure, etc.

And being created that way brings to the table all the benefits of classic open source projects. Anybody can download Ethereum and fork it. You may chose for a different approach to solve scaling and I could write code to improve my smart contract execution. On the long run the best project wins, or even both can coexist like thousands of other open source implementations.
Is any of those interested on the end of neutrality?
From my experience in the medium business world (maybe 500 people total?), paying is the only option. Open source is evil. Maintaining things is evil. Writing your own code is evil. Just shell out $x,000 for support.

If I could find a way to say "Yeah, we can get 'support' for this open source library for $xxx per month" my life would be much easier.

Sorry to sound like a nationalist here (i'm not), but the US has 1/3rd the population of China yet still has the largest economy, and the goto reserve currency. China actually has an ownership stake in all of their IT companies.

Contrary to a sibling comment, NN paves the way for the government to regulate what a private company can do with their IT assets, and therefore a great firewall situation.
True, but expectations are sometimes also higher. Documentation etc has to be of good quality. Packaging. Stuff like that. There's really no comparing it with a paid job IMHO. It's more fun i'd say.
Have you a source for that? I'd be interested in reading about it.

In any case, the end result is the same. There's a large amplification factor in ethereum transactions, since many transactions are just the shuffling of coins without any value actually changing hands.
Dismissing ICO in this early stage is equal to dismissing eCommerce 20years ago because someone got scammed buying something online.

Countries like Switzerland and Singapore created and will further create a legal structure to connect the real world transactions to the tokens.

Sure some countries will ban it, just like China has banned free internet access, this doesn't mean that free internet access is bad.
Hypothetically a project like substratum could include internet bandwidth itself as another resource which is rewarded with substratum.

I've not read the article, but I'm highly skeptical, to the point of cynicism, when news dailies like New York Times take the liberty of commenting so much on tech. Have their columnists actually tried doing anything? I did rather follow Jeff Hinton / Andrew No / Yoshua Bengio's tweets to stay updated.
Huh, I'm way undercharging.
I find it quite amazing that you question the morality of a temporary act of political demonstration against the agency responsible for setting rules directly related to the means of that political demonstration, and then suggest that parents should have violently abused their children to get any thoughts of such political demonstrations out of their heads.

Frankly, if my son suggested a means of demonstration as outlined here, I'd reward him for it. If he suggested violence against kids was ok, on the other hand? He'd never hear the end of it.

The entire paragraph - had this exact experience in a low cost center of an American IT company in post-Communist EU country. Are these companies created out of a template? Are these managers and code-monkeys cloned in a factory and trained in the same place? If by a catastrophic decision I end up in such a place, how do I defend myself?

As a maintainer of a relatively successful open source project [1], I find I get a lot of thanks. Yes, it usually comes attached to an issue or a question, but there's not really an easier avenue to just say "thanks" either. So it doesn't bother me too much.

The thank you that comes attached to issues does make me more inclined to help quicker, because I just feel the person is being polite and respectful of the effort.

I usually ask "how do I best do xyz with this library?" If I cannot find a good answer elsewhere online. Usually the developers answer and I am able to use their commentary to solve my problem. I know for one thing my answer will be public after I ask so at least it will become part of the selfdocumentation that arises from both stack overflow and issue systems.

Worse case they have to add something and put my request in some sort of backlog. I always say thanks when I ask someone for help though. But I never flat out ask for new features because for all I know they already have a defined way of solving the problem I have.

Clearly they don't think it's to their benefit, or else they wouldn't be trying to decertify or deauthorize it.
Is smacking children a morally good thing? In a vacuum, I'd argue that hitting children is not a good thing, yet we do not live in a vacuum. I have a young daughter, and if she were ever to do something like run into the road I've already decided I would pick her up and smack her good in hopes that it might leave a strong impression on her that she should not run into a busy street. Is smacking a kid in this situation moral? You yourself seem to argue that smacking children is a good thing in certain circumstances.

Considering the wider circumstances of net neutrality and the consequences it will have, especially on the poor and less educated, I don't have any problem morally with Ajit Pai having a brief encounter with the negative consequences his actions will have upon millions.

In general, I don't think there's much to be gained by discussion morals here though, and we shouldn't expect our morals to align exactly.
Anecdotal, but my experience has been women working much harder than men. And I say that as a male.
The "wait and see" approach was exactly what was supposed to precipitate the sudden decline in investment and spike in unemployment.

It sort of sounds like you're still trying to argue that the prediction was correct. Are you?
Very intriguing. Look forward to seeing what the core team do.
But most protests make things a bit worse while they are happening, even in relatively benign ways as disrupting traffic. If they don't disrupt the status quo in some way then they are hardly going to be noticed.
just like the market corrected after Bitcoin hit
1$ the first time
10$ the first time
100$ the first time
1000$ the first time.
8000$ the first time.

Sure markets correct, but somehow the ride continued.

I love how Silicon Valley was ridiculing industries like print, brick and mortar commerce and old-media for not adopting to the new future technologies.

But now that something appeared that challenges SVs status quo, they do just the same and dismiss it.
I think this shows that legacy thinking is a psychological problem and not an IQ problem.
The Occupy movement was hardly universally attacked or belittled by the media. To say so is a strange interpretation of history. Maybe people are remembering the end when the movement fizzled out and critiqued for it's ultimate 'directionless' and lack of specific objectives. But Occupy was very much rah-rah'd by the press and various mainstream media venues in the early days. Or at the minimum not maligned.

The critiques that did come were almost always around the process, the act of camping out and blocking public areas, but the movement itself against Wall St was very popular during the peak of the recession.

And it was a populist movement regardless. With all the highs/lows that type of movement brings.

It's failure to bring meaningful change had little to do with the media, right-wing/tea-party, or older democrats attacking it.

The issues being protested were very complex and deeply deeply ingrained in the current US political crony economic establishment. And the democrat administration at the time did little to affect change despite this popular support, besides some token efforts. And despite the rhetoric of the democratic party being a counterbalance against the rich they largely continued (and sometimes incentivized) the status quo in the finance world. A mere temporary speed block and back to business as usual.

Which had repercussions long after including up to the latest election. It was used by the right to feed off of the mistrust people had with Hillary (and the Obama crew she inherited) with regards to their appeasement of bankers. Particularly with how the republicans hammered home her connections to Goldman Sachs (et al). Not that the right was any better in regards to cronyism, clearly, but the point is that it hit a nerve among Americans which was a legacy of cynicism and bitterness following the recession and Occupy movements.
I think it’s the event loop model reuses more per connection. He mentions nothing is stopping you from implementing an event loop model for the pub-sub in go, just there wasn’t any library support and he didn’t want to spend time building it out when it is the default model in Node.

Are you sure your logic is sound here(?):

The great firewall and net neutrality are both examples of the government regulating the internet.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm sure we all agree that our ISPs should offer neutral transmission of packets without deference to source/destination or protocol/port.
We had pretty good number of sim.connections on 512MB instance. Unfortunately there is no enough details on methodology you used to compare, so I can't compare the number of clients it can support. I appreciate if you can do it yourself.

I'm leaving IT after 5 years to start a real estate company and work with my hands. I feel exactly the same way as the OP. Sitting on my butt for 6 years is wrecking my health and I hate the work.

I've saved lots of money and as long as I don't screw up my investments, I'll never have to work for anyone else again.

I love open source software and will continue to build and contribute to projects. I hate enterprise software and development culture and will never do it again. To each his own.
Asking users to pay you isn't talking down to them. It's what sensible businesses do. If I walk into McDonald's and say "Hey give me a cheeseburger" it's not rude for them to ask for the $0.99 in exchange.
From the text:

> the former open-source champion would pay €49.3 million to create a new Windows 10 client OS

I don't know what you mean by calling a "new client OS" "hardware replacements that were going to happen anyway".

I find the sentence confusing itself, as the OS would be microsoft, maybe they mean a distribution with preinstalled software? Either way, I don't read it to mean hardware replacemens
It's not the same. Ajit Pai says "We no longer need a law that prevents ISPs from saying 'Nice Internet you got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.'"

So then an ISP comes along and says 'Hey there Mr. Pai. Nice Internet you got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.'

That ISP is simply demonstrating what it means not to have such a law any more.
This is really misleading. ETH may handle more than the top crypto m by market cap, but Steemit and Bitshares dwarf all of these combined by number of transactions.
well it's a view of the world that adding two words to a sentence is unreasonable, but (and this is just a suggestion) I think you'll find that you get less negative feedback if you make it clear when something is an opinion rather than a statement of fact.

Common mistake -- you might want to look into Patrick McKenzie's material about consulting. Some clients you'll even be able to say "I'm raising rates" and just start getting more money for the same work without issue.
It’s such an unfortunate word to use, “maintainer”... Sounds like a thing that had reached its full potential long ago and the “maintainer” is there to keep it on the road in one piece, for a while yet. It’ll never get better, it’s only ever downhill from there.

(Admittedly, that does describe a certain %age of open source projects).

The New York economic situation is much worse than 2002, an didn’t the far from the rest of the country. The state and local government now gets like 30-40% of revenue from financial services.

If you compare the economy of 1967 to 2017, it’s more telling for NYC. Upstate is even more dramatic. The economy in central/western NY imploded.

The trickery is around the massive debt and the use of the dollar as a reserve currency. 100 dollar bills represent 80% of currency in circulation are like the equivalent of beaver bonds overseas.
I'm sure amazon invests in many diverse industries as hedge bets. Didn't they make a phone that flopped tremendously?
I doubt it's going to be that easy, because some clients already balk at the current rates. It greatly depends on your niche, that's why I asked the GP what he was consulting on.
BitShares and Steemit are both highly centralized. Their architecture is very similar to a traditional server client set up: they have a small number of trusted nodes, and non validating clients that depend on them.

And the transactions in Steemit at least are generally very low value, with 1-cent upvotes and article/comment entries making up the bulk of them. In comparison, the average value of an Ethereum transaction is $10,000.

I've refactored (or should I say, annotated) a >5K LOC node.js app to Typescript. It's an incredibly powerful system. Structural typing gives you 90% of the flexibility of dynamic typing with 90% of the security of classical static typing (of course this is just a feeling - it's not like I'm presenting a scientific result here).

I had more than 90% test coverage, with meaningful tests so I didn't really find too many bugs but I could delete a lot of tests and run-time checks which were making sure stupid input don't cause unexpected behavior.

When I check my commits & logs, LOC/hour didn't change significantly but bugs/month reduced to nearly half if my SQL skills aren't failing me.
