What evidence do you have to suggest the existence of this happening at any scale?

The problem with large scale conspiracies is that they require a lot of people, and eventually someone slips up. This sort of crime is the bread and butter of the SEC, and they aren't making any claims about it increasing.

Firefox users were asking for a read-it-later feature and Firefox devs were looking into implementing it. It was already something they were going to add to the product. They picked Pocket because it was a lot easier than making something from scratch, and they worked with Pocket to change their privacy policy and open-source the browser addon.

This all sounds good unless you work a "shift" style schedule. Every single person I know works what is considered first shift (approximately 6/7/8/9am to 2/3/4/5pm). Some of them have tried second and third shifts, but they always go back to first shift because "second/third shift don't work for me" they say.

Now for me I work better at night/early morning. Because of this I have worked third shift (midnight to 8am) for over 30 years and it works perfectly for me. If I want to be up while first shift is working I can. Or if I want to sleep during first shift and be awake for second shift I can do that too. It is nice to get off of work and do my errands and such without much traffic or that many people in stores. I get my errands done faster which gives me more free time.

Third shift has the advantage that most of the population is asleep when I am working. So when I drive into work at night the roads are mostly empty and when I leave work in the morning the morning rush traffic is moving in the opposite direction that I am.

Another advantage of third shift is I only spend 20 minutes driving to work and 20 minutes driving home from work each day. All the first shift people I know spend at least double that in traffic each day because dang near everyone works first shift.

Maybe the lesson here is not that working 13:00-18:00 is best for everybody, but that different people have different "peak hours", and forcing everyone to work a 9-5 40-hour week might not be such a good idea after all.
Graffiti on the sky. Ironically, to serve as a "reminder to all on Earth about our fragile place in the universe."
While I risk being pedantic, I question the notion that the people in 1984 "love" big brother with the usual denotation. I believe that "love" in context implies more of a unity of being / complete submission to rather than any sort of romance. A key point in the book is the control over truth effected through the control of knowledge and history. A government in a totalitarian state like North Korea effectively is, for its own people, the government from 1984. Complete power over information will inevitably lead to the kind of "love" expressed by Winston in room 101. If the power of the US government to monitor and censor information grows, it is unlikely but not completely impossible for a similar situation to eventually arise.
Shifting a schedule is one thing (in fact, I work on a shifted schedule on days I commute; from 6:45am or 7am to 3pm, due to bad local traffic); cutting your workday effectively in half is another. This article is touting "forget your 8-hour/9-hour job, just work a 5-hour day instead!"

That'd be nice from a free-time perspective, but it doesn't line up with business needs.

Well, this is where you are wrong. I have worked in the core team at several multi-billion dollar companies (e.g. Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc) and have received job offers to lead teams from other similar companies (including the one you mention and one of their fiercest competitor).

With all due the respect, your assumption that it would be full of pre-concieved ideas is simply wrong. I just have anti-bodies that fully reject the Kool-Aid and the cult-level fanboyism that is so common around these companies.
Recording the show and putting it online is not a 100% solution. Though I agree it's a good start and good enough for some people.

I take a lot of home videos. A new hobby of mine. I actually watch them. I use a handheld gopro and hold it at eye level.

At a venue the other day they recorded the event and put it somewhere online, but I have no intention on downloading it and still recorded 2 acts myself with my gopro (5 minutes of footage of the 2 hr show).

Why? Workflow, convenience, control. Recording on my camera means the video is automatically chronological with all my other videos and will be processed like all the others. Downloading their video means finding it online, editing it down to the parts I wanted to begin with, and figuring out the correct time stamp for each video I export. It goes from a automatic processes to a 20 minute long processes. That's not worth the trade off for me for 5 minutes of footage.

On top of that I lose my vantage point and the ability to point the camera back at ourselves too.
> A company’s financial value hinges on its profits and model of its future cash flows. For the vast majority of startups in tech, this will be zero.

I’d actually be very curious to know what those numbers are.

A lot of therapy (esp CBT) is incorporating Buddhist concepts. The most established is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which is roughly Buddhism + CBT.

And the concept of mindfulness is practically mainstream in therapy (as it is becoming in culture overall).

Good trends, IMHO.
I believe the issue that deserves some scrutiny is hinges on on what you say is "...a natural phenomenon."

SV and the bay are magnets for individuals who possess a high concentration of capital, both social and economic. Those forms of wealth allow those individuals to shape the environment and self-select in ways that other groups of individuals don't have access to. I believe this in turn leads to a level of social isolation not experienced by others who are unable to be inside their beautiful apartment on the 4th floor, one uber ride and three keyswipes and two neighborhoods away from the other individuals who can't afford those things. That level of isolation in my opinion can easily lead to a lack of awareness of the lives of other individuals.

The people in little Korea, little Ethiopia etc. may self select based on language and culture but I'd say they're all share a lot more exposure to a similar set of problems than the lion's share of residents in SV. I think what's good about this is that is has the potential to more quickly lead to a larger sense of solidarity with all individuals.
I would tend to subscribe to a similar view and think that no, gold is not really an investment. A hedge, a gamble perhaps. An investment is something that (hopefully) enables useful work and productive endeavour.

Putting money into a company in return for a share of ownership is an investment. A lot of stock market shenanigans are little more than gambling. Gold and crypto-currencies for the most part are speculation.

>>> As the number of people independently asked approaches infinity, the error approaches 0.

>> Only if people are an unbiased estimator!!

> You'd think so, but that's not correct.

Either you're misinterpreting the technical term "unbiased estimator" here, or you are aware of some research that I would like to read.

In context, "unbiased" means that if you pick people at random and ask for their estimates, then on average the too-high estimates cancel out the too-low estimates (i.e. there is not a bias in one direction or another).

But people as a whole have poor understanding of many things. One common one that appears in social science research and is often replicated is that people grossly overestimate the size of the homosexual population in the US (the "wisdom of the crowds" often estimates it around 20% whereas best available polling data suggests 3-5%). Here's just one source for this phenomenon

http://news.gallup.com/poll/183383/americans-greatly-overest...

"Wisdom of the crowds" is occasionally reliable, but it should not be assumed to be reliable for any particular problem without verification. It often fails terribly even on problems that are not very esoteric.

"syntactic tools" -> implicit state.

There's only so much the compiler can do for you. At some point you have to bear some of the cognitive load of state compression (which is really all async is about).

Multi-processing was great, but it doesn't scale to today's world, and neither does multi-threading. It doesn't matter in the least that those two technologies allow the programmer to write serial-looking code that does not execute serially. Those technologies cannot compress program state embodied in the call stacks and heap, therefore they do not scale (because they consume too much memory, have worse cache footprints and higher resident set size, involve heavy-duty context switching, and so on).

In terms of actual novelty in this space in computer science, I don't believe there's been anything new since the 80s. Everything that seems to be new is an old idea rediscovered, or a new take on an old idea, so either way not new at all.

CPS -> least implicit state.

Process -> most implicit state.

In between those two there are a few options, but nothing is a panacea, and ultimately CPS is an option you have to be prepared to use.

Less implicit state -> explicit state, which you can compress well because you understand its semantics.

Less state -> less load for the same work -> more work can be done.

In some contexts (e.g., the UI) this is a very big deal, which is why GUIs are async.
It's not okay to subsidize things in general, and especially things with massive negative externalities (like cars), when the person using that subsidy can easily afford it. And let's face it, the middle class can easily afford $8/gallon. Nobody wants to pay that, but they can afford it. As a proof that people can afford it, we have dozens of first world counties with strong middle classes that correctly price their road taxes. They do just fine.

I've never understood the idea that we should just cross subsidize every single thing we can. It's absurd. Prices affect decisions, and when artificially low prices induce people to collectively make decisions that are bad for society, we should stop fucking subsidizing it.

Imagine how much better our government would be if we took all of the taxes we take in, and stopped spending it all on things that are bad for society on behalf of people that can afford it or don't need it, and started spending it all on things that are good for society on behalf of people that need it but can't afford it.
He really seems like his own worst enemy, not in the least because his claims are at odds with his behavior. I also don’t really buy that he’s avoiding Swedish justice out of fear that the Americans will get him. That seems especially unlikely with Trump in office, given that they seem more or less aligned.

He just seems to be an egotist and a bit of a scumbag, who says one thing and does another.
There is Berkeley DB/SQL (now sadly owned by Oracle), which is essentially Sqlite with BDB instead it's original B-tree implementation, that supports multiple parallel writers. Also Firebird can be used as in-process embedded database and supports multiple writers (in fact in the server mode it uses same file-locking based synchronisation mechanisms as in embedded mode)

On the other hand it is somewhat rare to see aplication that really needs multiple writers and would not be better served by full fledged database server.
Yes, but CI is way more than just merging and source control, that's just the source control part. That part predates CI by 10 years. You can have source control and merging without CI. I'm reading from you that you are saying that if you merge branches you are implementing CI. There is a lot more to it. It's in the article you linked. He failed at source control (and really management processes) not because he didn't implement CI as claimed.

> Not the GP, but I didn't read anything in dsacco's post that implies any of these. I understood it as saying that it's possible to understand the technology, and even have a strong pro-encryption and pro-privacy stance, without believing that FBI as an institution is fundamentally corrupt or motivated by malice. There is an inherent tension between the FBI's mission, citizen's rights, and the nature of encryption, and it looks like that tension might never be fully resolved.

My opposition to the FBI's stance on this is independent of whether or not the FBI is corrupt or motivated by malice. The FBI, being made up of mortals, is an ever changing organization. Giving a philosopher king autocratic powers is giving that power to the tyrant that comes later. The tension between those with power and those surrendering power is older than the FBI. I agree it will never be resolved.

Learning to invest well is like learning to drive. You can read up on it or try it out in a simulated environment but there's ultimately no substitute for doing it for real.

Developing a investor mindset free of emotional responses is fundamental and hard to do if there's not real money at stake. If Robinhood gives young people easy access to learn by doing then all the better to then.

As another former Googler, this was one of the most concerning things about my experience at Google. The pressure I put on myself and received from others when I was debating whether to leave was enormous, especially because it was my first job.

This was one of the reasons I decided to bail out after the first phone interview. I had some serious concerns, such as:

- I am not interested in working as an SRE when I just finished a PhD in Computational Linguistics.

- I am not really interested in living in London or Silicon Valley.

But any such question were all waved away with an air of 'such concerns are all irrelevant if you can work for the greatest company in existence'. The interviewer was really a nice person, but there seemed to be an immense groupthink.

(I now also have strong moral objections to working for Google, but that's another story.)

I'm unconvinced by your loud assertions. What is the business model of LWN etc. and how could that apply to Mozilla's revenue needs?
Anger abound regarding advertising etc but question: what's the alternative for Mozilla to be a viable company without depending on money from advertising either in the form of Pocket and new tab or via search engines paying for default?

We can all pay a subscription to use Firefox instead. But of course Firefox is open source so...

I mean I'd love for something like Facebook to cost $10 a year, I think that could work. But I don't see any other business model for Mozilla besides charitable donations.
Even if so, does that mean it's a good idea to use it as a profit center?
Can you (or anyone reading) elaborate on details of how you did it? I'm surgically shrinking it and it's caused a good amount of turbulence... removing without communicating, and communicating removal are both difficult. The latter is probably better. But my ears are open for solutions.

I disabled posting to my wall for example, so on my birthday people struck up conversations instead. I anticipate I'll have it open for a while longer, but I'm removing people as we establish side channels so-far. I never added strangers but I'm not attached to everyone, like single conversation partners (I originally typed friends, haha, deprogramming).
