If flyover states didn't produce these startups during the last decade of easy capital, I am struggling to see how there would be a new breed of startups when capital eventually tightens in the next few years.

Another problem with investing in "flyover" states is that you are spreading your investment across many states and cities, individually any one of them lack the capital and talent concentration to compete with coastal cities. A much better strategy is probably to focus the entire investment portfolio in Chicago or Detroit.

Finally, when you scale your startup to 10s of billions, you will need to attract immigrant talent. Which is much easier to do in the coasts.

I have a hard time believing that the majority of people making 400k+ at either Google or Facebook would consider their work/life situation a type of hell.

I understand why some people don't want to work for those companies or in those areas, or aren't motivated by money. But I think many others do, and the ones that are living it now are doing so by choice and for their own reasons.
The argicle state that the 'first SMS' engineer sent it from its home computer, so it's not about how it got to the market but who used the technology first.

I'm pretty sure what OP is considering is that Haskell is well known for its usage in theory heavy works (where the domain is mostly well-specified, and possibly even beautifully so), but not well known for applications where you have to make unspecified, awkward, temporary and sometimes nonsensical updates (anything that so much as breathes near a layman). And given haskell's background as a research language, it makes sense for it to be biased towards the former. So the question is, by how much?

Because people are obviously more willing to talk to people ¼ mile away, but on the same floor, than the person on the floor above them, right?

I think the floor argument is oversold: what matters is proximity, and particularly the aptitude to congregate in common areas (such as water fountains). Once you're talking about choosing between a 15-story 1 block building versus a 5-story 3 block building, you're already big enough that you've lost proximity and common area congregation, so it doesn't really matter that much either way.

This is an obvious exploration/exploitation optimization strategy. The child doesn't have infinite time and has the same distribution for available time in both cases. A larger estimated state space therefore dictates more aggressive exploration, which means faster switching and slower settling. In more intuitive terms, the child is trying to maximize their chance of getting to play with everything, and while they don't know how much time they have, they have no reason to assume it's enough, so they move faster to cover more toys.

Whether you think that this adaptation is a reasonable one, or whether these are useful observations for a child to use to inform their expectations about the world, I'm not sure I can say. But this is the rational strategy under straightforward assumptions about the utility function that our adaptations approximate. Furthermore, I expect that I would observe identical behavior in adults - for example, consider your takings at a buffet as a function of the number of options and your familiarity with them - and in fact that a non-negligible part of HN often exercises this same strategy consciously and rationally.
My guess is that it isn't really about slavery or the actual Confederacy - it's just a proxy for "we want to be rich and for our region to be important again".

i've wondered the same thing about the overhead. the argument given to me by some friends in non-profits is that raising money is an art and they have to compete with profit companies for the same people. hence they offer high salaries for c-level positions who can bring in money. there are only so many people that are willing to do it for a under industry salary.

not sure i agree one way or another, but penny for your thoughts.

>So whether a contract is signed or not, they know that by telling the Recruiter they would be interested in reviewing and/or interviewing their candidate, they are not only accepting the solicitation (thus can't claim it was unsolicited), they are also indirectly agreeing to pay a fee.

I know of firms that will pay a small finders fee (usually $500 to $2000) for a referral that turns into a hire from any random stranger. Without the recruiter specifying otherwise and getting agreement, it's completely reasonable for the firm to assume this is just another such referral.

May I ask why? Seems like exactly the kind of data where some loss is fine.
Its the same concept. If a user can't use his computer because of a local DoS its still a security issue.

To make this really simple, imagine if I ran a fork bomb on one server. That makes the server unavailable for users who want to log into it for whatever reason. Therefore it is a security issue.

It doesn't matter if its an end user device, one sever or a distributed system. I as the user cannot do what I want to do. That is what 'availability' means in the CIA triad.

I think this depends greatly on where you go, as more invested travelers tend to handle themselves more responsibly. For example, this might be more noticeable in many parts of southern Europe dominated by other European tourists (thanks to cheaper flights). Less traveled Americans tend not to visit these places, so the Americans that do visit are more considerate and polite.

I'm not able to access your link to the original paper (access problems on my end, possibly), but this write up on PlosONE [1] on the group's results seems to paint a different picture:

Global declines in insects have sparked wide interest among scientists, politicians, and the general public. Loss of insect diversity and abundance is expected to provoke cascading effects on food webs and to jeopardize ecosystem services. Our understanding of the extent and underlying causes of this decline is based on the abundance of single species or taxonomic groups only, rather than changes in insect biomass which is more relevant for ecological functioning. Here, we used a standardized protocol to measure total insect biomass using Malaise traps, deployed over 27 years in 63 nature protection areas in Germany (96 unique location-year combinations) to infer on the status and trend of local entomofauna. Our analysis estimates a seasonal decline of 76%, and mid-summer decline of 82% in flying insect biomass over the 27 years of study. We show that this decline is apparent regardless of habitat type, while changes in weather, land use, and habitat characteristics cannot explain this overall decline. This yet unrecognized loss of insect biomass must be taken into account in evaluating declines in abundance of species depending on insects as a food source, and ecosystem functioning in the European landscape.

> There's a reason MixPanel (and any other vendor) has so many engineers. You're paying them to have already made the mistakes that you're about to make.

The real reason Mixpanel (et al) have so many engineers is:

A) They need to scale their service to reliably provide to N corporations which is frequently non-trivial.

B) They need to implement the 80% of features that aren't critical path for Company A because some subset of them are for Company B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,etc.

C) I've seen software vendors make some pretty terrible and painfully obvious mistakes.

Idk, maybe I'm crazy but I have very little faith in this idea that more engineers = better decisions were made. I've just never found quantity has an impact on quality of the end product, only the speed at which its produced.
Does it work the other way, too? If I am made aware of someone who makes half of my salary for the 'same' work does it follow that I am happier?

I don't find this very convincing. This would only seem to be the case where the amount of effort is tied to one's salary, but for hourly wages this is much less likely to be true. I also don't think it's a kind of built-in part of our brain structure; this feels like a very "human nature" type argument which is wholly unsubstantiated. It is true that what we consider to be "human nature" (such as the arising of the desire for personal fame) actually originated in definite periods of history. It is also true that various economic orders, those feudalistic, capitalistic, of the slave society etc. bring about different changes in consciousness.

So for that reason, I don't think it's wise to project the desire to be more well off than one's peers as an innate factor especially considering alternative modes of organization in which overwork for this sake does not occur, or at least has no good reason to occur. The trouble with what I'm saying is that humans are 'stamped' with the mark of their current productive forces such that imagining alternatives is not only difficult but it seems utopian and impossible.

I also don't really buy the small society vs big society dichotomy as you have used it here. Even in small societies there are times where people 'earn' more for the same amount of work, are there not? I would argue that the problems you suggest exist are merely exacerbated by a global capitalist society rather than caused by it, but also that they are nevertheless features of any capitalist society.

There's a big difference between what Apple is using to perform FaceID scans and the APIs it exposes to developers. Apple has historically been very cautious about the access it gives to developers, especially where matters of privacy are concerned.
Perfect. I absolutely agree. The thing is, I use C++ because it does a lot of things specialized for what I need. I don't work on every problem, and I look forward to the chance to use Rust. That being said, for now, the problems I'm working on are domains that very much benefit from C++ and I will continue to use it.

I totally agree that Rust is a great language and has wide applications. It doesn't fit my current needs, but I don't doubt it meets many people's needs. More power to them -- and it's cool to have a "The new C++ killer language" which can actually live up to its hype, unlike Java and C# and Go and D.
My info is several years old, but it was super frustrating, because both amd and cavium claimed to be selling ARM servers, and I was stoked to sell arm-based VPSs, and I even had an ARM/linux friend on hand to help out... but nobody would sell me any.

>This way, one single cluster shares the same big, flat space of IP addresses; not only do pods have the same IP inside the container, but they can talk to other pods using the other pod's IP, too.<

Why is having a big, flat namespace important? Routers route. Clos L3 networks are no longer a fancy thing. They're commonplace now. I don't see any advantage of having a flat network.

> One part of it is the iptables proxy magic that it does to allow services to have dynamically assigned IPs, too, with simple load-balancing between them.<

Ah yes, the iptables "magic". We call this, slowness and obfuscation. People who understand how to run networks don't like handwavy magic. We like simple, elegant concepts. Kubernetes networking is very far from simple and elegant. It's blackbox "magic".

>You don't need more complex overlay networking stacks such as Calico, Flannel or Weave right away.<

I run a native L3 network so have no need for an overlay network on top of it. That said, I'd argue that the overlay junk is probably easier for non-networking-fluent developers to setup and run compared to routing in AWS.

Kubernetes networking can be summed up thusly:
Great for developers who know nothing about networking but want to run at hyperscale. Terrible for people who actually know how to run networks properly.

Kubernetes ingress is garbage. Stop apologizing for it.

IPv6 would also get rid of 99% of these overly complicated hand-wavy solutions that Kubernetes proponents constantly tout as strong points. Give each node a /64, and you're set.
So you've repeated your assertion that "people break git" and that fixing it "is hard".

It seems surprising that so many people, familiar with daily use, manage to keep breaking things in your environment, but others here don't.

Have you written bug reports? Or documented the nature of these broken states?

90% of the git users probably just run a handful of commands. ("git status", "git add", "git diff", "git commit", and creating/merging branches). Those commands seem unlikely to cause widespread problems, but perhaps you're doing something else?
The most effective way to be unhappy - comparing yourself to others. Its far more satisfying to 'impress yourself', ie do better than you did before. I also like to remember that such comparisons are usually between your every day existance and their 'highlight reel'.
