If you are creating an SPA application and you just need an API in Go, the standard library or one of the microframeworks like Gin work fine. If you are doing full-stack development, you'll be more productive with a framework even though the Go community tends to shy away from large frameworks. If I were to use Go for a web app today, I'd use Buffalo which is relatively Rails-like while still being very modular: https://gobuffalo.io/
I worked there so I'm well aware of how it works. My point was sometimes they need to do a massive encode during peak, and having the cloud allows them to do that when necessary.
I've started using Echo[1] and it seems to provide most of what I'm looking for (routing, context, sessions, CSRF protection, form/json binding, etc). For templating, I'm using QuickTemplate[2] which creates statically generated templates, but Pongo2[3] and Jet[4] also look reasonable. sqlx[5], gorm[6], and sqlboiler[7] all seem reasonable for database access, depending on what your style is (sqlx being oriented toward manual statements, gorm being reflection-based orm-ish, and sqlboiler using go generate's code generation to make statically generated access for you).

If you don't want to piece things together yourself (and want a more Rails-like experience), Buffalo[8] is probably your best bet.

That could happen via a breach of the provider's servers, or through dumpster diving for a discarded drive that the provider didn't properly wipe (in the case the data wasn't also encrypted at rest).
The problem with what you state, is that your are pegged to ETH for currency of the whole system and quantified value of such stocks/securities. I don't see many mature corporations switching to this, but ICOs are an example of younger business willing to be 'pegged' to ETH. Some other smart contract platform like NEO support better out of chain functionalities.

I'm sorry, I don't see the connection between my health and whether or not I use light switches. That seems incredibly hyperbolic. I definitely don't exercise enough. Turning off my home automation is not a gym membership and a force of will.

I agree that Security and Privacy issues are always important to consider, and ideally we in the tech industry will find better ways to educate the masses about the issues at hand.
Not really what I meant. It's a "special case" because the sidecar container is a niche where the JVM doesn't work well. That doesn't mean you can't run JVM successfully elsewhere, which of course people do.

For example, you may be deploying a bunch of lean Go microservices that, at maximum, consume perhaps 20MB of memory each (peak). You can run 100 instances of said app and only consume 2,000MB, but add a big JVM that weighs, say, 200MB a piece, you now need 22,000MB of memory instead.

JVM startup time might be another factor, but I've not measured this.
Because those all require a trusted third party to make regular checkpoints of the blockchain. The argument is not that it is impossible but that no one has been able to design it trustless.

It is a reasonable argument and while you may not agree with the desire to avoid trusted third parties but there's no reason to dismiss it as trolling.
does this support any other CI like jenkins apart from bitbucket-pipelines?
> you pay for the amount of electricity you use, but you're free to plug in any appliance you want

You can get metered at different rates for different uses for electricity. A simple example I found just now is shown in https://www.eversource.com/content/docs/default-source/rates... (see Rate 1 vs Rate 5 vs Rate 18), but that sort of setup is pretty common.

Now, this is metering based on _type_ of use (heating vs hot water vs whatever else), not based on the manufacturer of your water heater. But to be a devil's advocate for a moment, this is the sort of thing ISPs _claim_ they want to do: prioritize certain _types_ of content over others. Now I don't believe them on this, of course...

But a priori, there is not necessarily a problem with an internet where you pay one rate for data streams that need certain bandwidth and latency guarantees and a different rate for ones that don't. That would be equivalent to the different-uses electrical billing above.
We have that. It's called insurance.

> The game's top cat brought in $117,712.12 (£87,686.11) when it sold on Saturday, 2 December.

Is it weird that I think that the cat that was sold for 100K was a wash trade (someone trading with themself)? Who would honestly pay 100K for a 'rare' digital cat? Just because something's rare doesn't mean it's valuable.

I think it's interesting foreshadowing that the developers are calling these "breedable Beanie Babies".

I would say that much of this is directly related to how anti-science many leaders are now.
> People currently pay ISPs to reserve a certain amount of road, and net neutrality says they can drive whatever cars they want over that fraction of road without being discriminated against in pricing or speed.

In the case of roads, heavy vehicles like big rigs cause more wear-and-tear than light vehicles like compact cars. It would be fair then to charge heavy vehicles more so users of light vehicles aren't paying for users of heavy vehicles.
It would be fine if apps with in-browser crypto only made this sort of claim, but many/most of them are either stating or implying that users don't need to trust the service.

This is a dangerous mismanagement of expectations, and it can be argued that the risk of creating a false sense of security far outweighs any of the benefits you mention.

I may have posted this same sentiment on the other threads on this topic so please feel free to ignore.

I see some confusion as to why anybody would want these devices in the houses whatsoever and would like to offer an answer:

Quadriplegia.

Imagine walking into your house one day and all of the keys had been taken off your keyboard, every light switch is smooth, all of the doorknobs have disappeared, the controls on your stereo have disappeared and every other switch, lever and/or physical method of interacting with your devices had disappeared. That was what it was like to be me as a quadriplegic Geek.

Then came the Amazon Echo and its ilk. The Echo coupled with Home Assistant[1] has absolutely revolutionised my life and enabled me to do all of the things above that I wasn't able to do before. It's a pretty compelling reason for me.

Am I worried about my privacy? Absolutely. Am I any more worried about the Amazon Echo than I am about the microphone in my iPhone, television, MacBook Pro, iMac and weirdly my fridge? Nope.

As others have pointed out it's a trade-off, I could be completely private and not be able to do anything or I could accept this somewhat Faustian bargain and be able to control almost every aspect of my house. Crappy situation to be in, but there is.

There are a few open source alternatives coming through which keep everything within the wire, but until they get traction enough to be out interact with all my other devices I can't use them. Which sucks.

Anyway, hopefully this comment was helpful and am available to answer questions on any topic other than physics. I'm rubbish at physics. :-)

No, it cannot work for things that are physical because just like with any other piece of software, the smart-contract has no impact on the physical world, thus ownership must be legally enforced the same way it is with centralized systems that track ownership.
In that times the first usecase probably was to displace pagers.

GSM lore says that SMS originated as network debugging/management feature, which I don't think is exactly true. I suspect that the thing was originally an demonstration for GSM's capability of transfering arbitrar-ish user packet data in control channels (of which SMS is to this day only usage I know of), which got implemented in handsets because it was part of specification and then it was used for network management messages and then got commercialized as SMS.

It is not improbable that this guy actually wrote first implementation of the network side of SMS (ie. SMSC) that was actually useful for commercial customers, as the low-level SMS protocol only handles message transfer between network and handsets and does not specify network behavior or even addressing of subscribers.

What sorts of things does one need to learn to get a software engineering job at a place like Netflix? Where would you even go to learn that type of thing (other than Netflix)?

As someone who spends most of their day writing C# web apps for clients, something like a job at Netflix seems like an impossibility at this point.
No it doesn't. If the company was tanking, the employees would get laid off whereas the CEO would be launched with a golden parachute, often one that's worth more than any employee will make in their entire life.
Property, stock and mineral rights come with a massive slew of legal issues which can't reasonably be articulated in an algorithm.

Moreover, ETH in this case isn't really solving a problem for anyone.

That said - there are certain instruments (like cats!) wherein contracts could be designed around the limitations, for which it might work well.

But for the things you listed, I don't think so.

What actions can state and local governments take to support net neutrality? Is New York going to consider revoking cable franchise agreements for companies that do not support net neutrality, or require it (maybe nationwide?) for bidders on franchise agreements?
I think angel investors are different than venture capitalists. The former typically make small investments, starting anywhere in the low five figures, up to seven figures, but more commonly capping out in the low to mid six figures and receiving a corresponding stake size in the companies.

Venture capital often requires taking sizable stakes in companies by investing millions of dollars, in order to have a chance at producing the returns it's seeking.

After thinking about it more, this Rise of the Rest fund for the Midwest, to me, is more like Y Combinator (and likely a competitor to it), in that it's essentially a giant seed fund that will then bring in its big-name investors and business magnates to make VC-like investments in the most promising companies.

Instead of having a large network of former YC grads, it has a network of some of the most well-known investors and business magnates in the U.S.

With that said, Steve Case is quoted in the article saying, "First and foremost, our goal was to generate top returns.”

So I think I understand and sympathize with the people who've come out about sex crimes or sexual harassment. There are some very serious, truly heartbreaking cases involving women who had to live in fear and had their future relationships ruined because of these terrible acts.

But honestly, it's getting to the point where asking a woman out for coffee seems like I might be harassing her.

I think there is a sexual dynamic that everyone avoids talking about, because exploring it in such public light would be taboo. How do we distinguish between what is primal, not yet understood when it comes to sexual dynamic (body language, looks, etc...) prior to engaging in an intellectual conversation, and the discomfort that women might feel when they are approached by an entity they deem as harassing?

I don't mean to confuse creepy and harassing, but I expect to be forgiven if I was 18, new to this world, and trying to get this to work without consciously ignoring all of these warning messages about harassment. It just seems like the solution is binary for the inexperienced. Either don't approach women, or approach them _hard_. The latter may cause some issues.

I also don't want to take away from the truly heinous sex crimes that are committed every day, but I think the lines need to be clearer for those of us not so sharp or experienced.
Almost everyone I know willingly puts themselves under corporate surveillance (credit card?, cell phone?, license plates on car?, web browser?, cable tv?, netflix?, shopper rewards and discounts?).

Still, everyone should be able to decide which corporate 'masters' they trust. For instance, Netflix may be surveying my watching habits, but I trust them more than Google and Amazon. They can only collect a small subset of data (viewing habits) and it least they get the majority of their income out of subscriptions. Over time, I have started making more principled choices of who I want to give my data and who not.

I don't think it is fair to ask that because I share data with Netflix, I should also be willing to share data with Google or Amazon when I visit you.

Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse. For example, there are a lot of cloud connected cameras with exploitable vulnerabilities. My parents had such a camera and I asked them to cover or disconnect it when I visit them.

We've had net neutrality enforcement from the FCC for 13 years; case-by-case until that was struck down in 2010; neutrality rules very similar to those later adopted under Title II adopted under Title I authority from 2010 until those were struck down by the courts in 2014, and Title II rules from 2015 till now.

And even prior to 2004, much of what then passed for broadband was regulated in ways which incidentally protected or encouraged neutrality, though that was piecemeal and incidental to regulation of the particular underlying phone or cable infrastructure, not part of a coherent internet-related policy.

The new rules would not seek to enforce neutrality as the new FCC majority claims enforcement is unnecessary, and that what minimal enforcement against anti-competitive practices should be done should be done by the FTC. This would be a condition which has not existed in the history of the publicly-relevant internet, not a return to the status quo of two years ago.

They raise the issue of having Alexa devices in semi-private places like hotel rooms[0].

I think people have an expectation of privacy in a hotel room. And I assume major hotels have security measures in place to catch consumer-level eavesdropping devices.

Rooting an Alexa device in this manner seems like something that could easily be done by a prankster requiring no specialized equipment.

Has anyone stayed in Wynn hotel in Vegas? Are the alexa devices just out in the open or built into the room somehow that might easily show tampering? Or, maybe they have only the latest version with the debug pads disabled?

>Yes. Consider the amount of movement/exercise the average western person gets, it might even be life threatening.

That seems like a massive stereotype there. I just don't see how changing the lighting in your house from a switch to audio could be "life threatening". You have zero idea what physical fitness the individual above does. I also don't understand how asking, "What is the weather like outside?" while tying your shoes is an issue. I don't think this is Asimov level of automation. It's just a mild convenience.
Part of it is you already have SuperTool™ and teaching your team other tools or creating new ones initially seems more complicated than SuperTool™. Eventually paradigms to avoid the problems you face or better solutions are discovered, iterated on, and now someone can start a "better" one without fear of breaking backwards compatibility -- because there is no backwards. :)
Yeah, but isn't that also the "problem" with subsidizing K-12 public school? One doesn't need a high school education to wait tables or stock shelves, and most apprenticeships and trade schools could probably be started several years earlier without issue.

We used to have this Enlightenment ideal of a Liberal Arts Education. It served as job training, sure, but it also tried to make its recipients better citizens and more adept thinkers and more capable adults and, broadly speaking, more effective human beings in a bunch of socially and culturally important ways. I'm optimistic that free college tuition would be a net gain for the economy, but I also strongly suspect that it's worth doing even if it costs us some economic growth.

Besides, if someone wants to take a 4 year vacation, they're already well within their rights to just not get a job and do whatever they like with their early 20s right now, presuming they can cover their living expenses somehow. Free college tuition doesn't actually allow anyone who wouldn't otherwise be able to to slack off, but it does give them something socially positive to do with their slacking.

Netflix needs n instances to operate at peak capacity. The article is about them utilizing those pre-paid, necessary compute resources when the actual streaming they do requires a small fraction of n. I'm not sure how that has any correlation to multi year software contracts.
