That’s how I meant it, that the advantage of microservices is bite size pieces of work, so 10 people on the same service sounds like they’d step on each other’s toes. I run a bunch of services but they’re each debugged enough to be fairly low maintenance and small enough that the edges are well defined.

It’s 8 or so but it’s possible for me to handle it all. If we add features they’re going to be new services, so adding big features to the services I manage is unlikely. It is more likely that I get a new service on my plate in 6 months time than getting additional members of the engineering team to work on already completed services.

I’m obviously not entirely alone... I’ll ask for help if I need it, and I help out with other people’s stuff too, but I am primarily in charge of them and I am responsible for keeping everything working well.
What seems likely to me is that people share obviously fake news not because they see it has a lot of likes but because it confirms things they already believe.

The issue of compensation extends far beyond just chipmakers. The large tech companies (FB/GOOG et al.) pay top compensation for most technical fields and have the ability to suck up talent worldwide.

Chipmakers, automotive, media...the question is how long incumbent companies are going to continue poor compensation practices before they figure out how far behind they are.
Dude is gay. No one is this tortured or obsessed unless they themselves are repressing their own - to use his revelatory and judgy phrase - “abnormal apetites”. How people can mistake this wordy tortured coming-out essay as “a credible view” is beyond strange.

Also his obsession with victim-shaming? He is a victim and won’t allow himself his victim feelings. The fact that this article was published in a major publication shows how problematic “real journalism” can be. That’s my main takeaway from the 3 paragraphs I could stomach.
Ebert's reviewing philosophy was to review a film relative to its ambitions, genre and target demographic. If the film accomplished what it apparently set out to do, Ebert viewed it favourably. Many of his highest scores were for pure, disposable entertainment, as opposed to high-brow arthouse film such as Bergman or Antonioni.

Well, sort of. The votes give them raw material but interpreting the results and then demoting content is Facebook's job (and almost certainly nobody will be able to see how they do it). And getting demoted by Facebook, Twitter, and Google (all of which are involved in similar initiatives that mostly serve to demote independent news sources) makes a huge difference in our increasingly monopolistic media landscape where those platforms are how many people get their news.

No problem. I sincerely hope you’re able to make your talent into a profession.

Final words; don’t fall into the comfortable trap of believing that you can make it all work as a one man island. You need community. You need similar minded folks to work with you, around you and over you. Talent is worthless unless someone can vouch for it. A lot of people will go to college and graduate solely believing that their degree will get them the job they need. A lot of those same people find out that it’s not necessarily the case.

Class war in the American west: rich landowners blocking access to public lands
Everything in modern society is "surveillanced". The highways you drive on (highway cameras), the news sites you read (ad tracking), the dollars you make (IRS). Someone somewhere knows these things. Specifically pointing out something is "surveillance-powered" without context is agenda-driven.
It's not elegant - it means that every single exception raised by any function you call, or any function they might call, and so forth, is now part of your API. If you're an HTTPS library, and you're using some OpenSSL bindings for certificate validation, OpenSSLCertificateValidationError is part of your API because callers are now catching that. If you switch to BoringSSL or NSS or whatever, callers won't be expecting BoringSSLCertificateValidationError or NSSMismatchedCertsException.

Java has a particularly inelegant and ugly solution here involving declaring what types of exceptions might be thrown. But that still doesn't change the fact that changing that list is an API change, it just makes it more explicit.

So if you care about API stability (and I firmly believe that no solution that ignores API stability is "elegant" - it is at best "cute"), you're basically required to catch the vast majority of exceptions your own dependencies generate and translate them to your own exception types. You'll need to make a MyHTTPLibCertificateValidationError, unwrap the contents of OpenSSLValidationError, and put them in the new object, or you can never switch away from OpenSSL without an API break. And you want your dependencies to follow the same discipline.

At that point, as I said above, why use unwinding? None of the exceptions in your program can safely pass more than one level of the call stack at a time; each level has to explicitly approve raising it another level or wrap the exception in its own type (or handle it). The only ones that can really unwind are standard library ones like OutOfMemoryError that are expected to go all the way up the call stack to the top of the program or at best the top of the current request, print or otherwise log a backtrace, and abort the entire thing in progress - i.e., exceptional conditions. Exceptions for expected conditions are a different thing entirely, precisely because you don't want unwinding, you want step-by-step propagation.

This has nothing to do with efficiency. This has to do with correctness and robustness.

And you get your syntactic elegance with a library for translating and wrapping error objects, like https://docs.rs/error-chain , combined with syntax for immediately translating and returning errors from dependencies, like https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch09-02-recove... .

It is hard to predict where things will be 2-5 years down the line even for AI/machine learning (which I personally don't know a lot about.) What if AI becomes more automated in a few years so less people are needed? But atleast for now it seems like a good place to start.

My general thoughts are get into a top tier university as that gives you a head start to find a promising company to join. Pick a field that really interests you yet balance with market demands. Focus on the broad computer engineering skills that will be applicable in many industries. Work hard to make a name for yourself at your first job. At some point it will build up a network of people who can transition you into other industries as you change jobs. Eventually you will hit the leading edge of some hot technology and can make your success.
The media didn't really talk to gamers.

>is it really shoplifting if their system fails to register the sale?

Why wouldn't it be shoplifting here if it is at any other store? If the cashiers and loss prevention officers don't notice you walking out with merchandise in your pocket, is it somehow worse because their eyes and brains are made of flesh instead of plastic and metal?
But you really should know that set -e is broken.
Almost every large Retail store has a lot of Stuff going on with Video Analytics (eg: Store Front). With this one, Amazon has just upgraded the retail benchmark and ported their digital KPIs to Retail store. I think this is no way worse/stronger than Amazon.com tracking (except your faces show up).

"A volume"? The very first book on Nietzsche published in English, no less, I believe. (1907)

I read it, it's very good. He says in several places (to paraphrase) "This idea of Nietzsche's is absolutely insane." - something no scholar of Nietzsche comes within a mile of doing nowadays.

Your whole post sounds like a third-hand report. Have you read his writings on American democracy? He couldn't be more scathing about the people who in fact do rule.

"It was Americans who invented the curious doctrine that there is a body of doctrine in every department of thought that every good citizen is in duty bound to accept and cherish; it was Americans who invented the right-thinker. … In the face of this singular passion for conformity, this dread of novelty and originality, it is obvious that the man of vigorous mind and stout convictions is gradually shouldered out of public life. He may slide into office once or twice, but soon or late he is bound to be held up, examined and incontinently kicked out. This leaves the field to the intellectual jelly-fish and inner tubes." – Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun, 26/7/1920

Incidentally, have you read Anti-Christ? I doubt it. It's not "the Anti-Christ" (i.e. the devil) but Anti-Christ (i.e. something written against, arguing against Jesus) - which it's not, actually. I don't think it says a single word against Jesus, of whom Nietzsche seems very fond - it's against the church and priests and their corruption of the original christian message. I thought it made a lot of sense. (As do all of Nietzsche's books - well ok, parts of Ecce Homo sound loony)

Reading you again.. you're explaining Mencken's supposed racism by that he was a Nietzschean? Hmm. I don't see the connection. Oh, is it a Nazi-Nietzsche connection? Well, read Nietzsche - no trace of racism. He was embarrassed by German nationalism, never said anything positive about it or Germany, was far fonder of French writers, was more likely to say something against Germans than against Jews. And he thought Emerson was the greatest writer of the 19th C - about whom the worst Nietzsche could say was that he was too influenced by German thought. Actually Emerson wrote a lot of Nietzsche-sounding anti-democratic-sounding stuff, a lot more than Nietzsche did. Nietzsche wasn't very political at all, hardly wrote about it.

Seems the scale of the store, the controlled supply of product, and the quality of tracking can essentially undermine most exploit vectors. Perhaps in a larger store, or perhaps with more crowds or variance in product... but as it stands, the Amazon Go store is about 1000 sq ft currently and it has been operating internally, daily, for over a year seeing hundreds of shoppers per day. I assume that if there was any issues they wouldn't be launching this publicly. I'm sure Amazon invites you to come and try to break the system, if you want.

Edit: Other commenters state the sq ft of the store is closer to 1800, still very controllable.
Careful where you go for that news as talkback radio will be (more) deadly for the next year or two. Overheard at a grey power cuppa yesterday, ‘She was pregnant when negotiating to be Prime Minister did you know? It’s unbelieveable’.
If this is done by a startup that TechCrunch’s “partner VC” has invested in, I doubt it would have this cynical agenda-driven tone.

It varied dramatically by state; according to that census, Mississippi and South Carolina were both majority slave.

Certainly, the CSA was majority free, but I think that 'places'... 'including in the united states' is most correctly construed to mean that there were identifiable regions of the US that had more slaves than free people; I think states fit into the previous poster's use of "places"
The ops cost of not using microservices is a lot higher than you'd think, too. At some point, when you have hundreds of engineers and your monolith is compiled together from libraries written by a dozen different teams and you have to try and make one heroic release per week, except half the time it fails and you have to go back and fix it, and absolutely no one in the company can ship a new feature because you're blocked.
Barely related: Rotten Tomatoes summaries feel like they've been paid for.

This isn't just false, it's unnecessary. It takes nothing away from RocketLab to acknowledge that SpaceX has also done "incredibly innovative things," such as propulsive first stage landings.

> the pattern I've seen time and time again is Developers thinking the previous generation had no idea what they were doing and they'll do it way better. They usually nail the first 80%, then hit a new edge case not well handled by their architecture/model

Perfect, I've seen this happen many times as well. I think you're generous on the 80% part. Usually they nail the first 50%, but they time they get to 80% its getting just as messy and some of the developers are planning another rewrite again.
I think there are ways Amazon could approach this.

1) They can have people review recordings for items that the system is less than sure of and charge the customer accordingly.

2) They could ban customers from the store if they determine that the customer seems to be attempting to subvert the system.

Customers already steal things from stores. In this case, the fact that you have to tap-in makes it a lot less of an anonymous shopping experience which would likely deter people from trying to cheat the system. If people are trying to cheat the system, it seems relatively easy to ban them (compared to a conventional store).

Amazon doesn't need to solve everything. Today, if you claim that you didn't receive a delivered package, what does Amazon do? I'm guessing that they just send another. However, I'd also guess that there's some trigger noting, "this person seems to have way more packages stolen than we'd expect". At that point, you can take action like requiring signatures or shipping to an Amazon locker.

Similarly, Amazon will accept a certain amount of loss combined with the ability to note over time what is going on. The automated system may not be perfect, but presumably humans can review recordings.

Ultimately, the only difference between current retail and this is the assumed intent. If someone walks out of a normal store without checking out an item, it's assumed that they intended to steal it. If someone walks out of an Amazon Go without paying, you assume they intended to pay and the system failed. However, if someone is putting their back to goods and picking them up from behind, that's pretty suspicious looking.

It seems like Amazon's surveillance is meant to capture way more than typical retail and that should allow them to find bad actors easier, even if it requires a little human review.

This is true, but the numbers of people who owned slaves were vastly smaller.

This is wrong. They don't like to talk about it, but air forces around the world have been giving amphetamines to pilots since WWII. They're used to enable pilots to maintain focus for long missions.

For comparison: in Sweden, the employer payroll tax is 31.42%, the income tax is ~30% (depending on where you live) and the VAT is 25% for most goods (food is 12% IIRC).

The employer payroll tax is a bit interesting. As an employee you never see that money, but you more or less pay it (lower wages).
