The stock market is not zero sum. The people taking the other side of well managed hedge funds are usually poorly managed pension funds/hedge funds, index fund ETFs that blindly buy a bunch of stocks without looking over their financial statements, or dumb public retail investor money.
It's worth noting the distinction between social class and socioeconomic class/status. Socioeconomic status plays a larger role in United States relative to the UK. Social class refers to one's fixed sociocultural background and plays a far larger role in the UK compared to the US.

I would say more like less than 1% of us should make more complicated investments than index. And that is generous, considering that there are much fewer people than that in the US today that have made consistent money picking winners and losers. Almost anyone you know that makes a consistent living in the stock market is actually making money through commissions and management fees.

I agree you shouldn't always go for microservices but you should always have separate well defined domains with well defined boundaries - even in a monolithic application.

I'm a C# guy so I'm going to speak in c# terms. I don't see any reason you shouldn't always have in a monolithic solution, c# projects where all of the internal classes are "internal" with a "public API" that is either a single class or interface.

That gives you the optionality of creating either in process Nuget packages by extracting the project or creating a microservice later when it makes sense. It also makes merge conflicts less likely and it lends itself to easier testability. In the last year and a half, I've been combining and separating projects from one application to another between microservices, Nuget packages and even Git subtrees as it made sense.
The issue with Docker is that it doesn't support a GUI at all. Jupyter (and it's ilk) work for some needs, but I haven't found a good one that works for many of the (weird) libraries/applications that scientists use that need a GUI. My wife does IT for Physics/Astronomy and would loves something like Docker, but supports a GUI. There's an option of doing X-Windows trickery, but that's very fragile.

At least for children who grow up with married parents, there's still quite a bit of income mobility.

Such children born into the bottom quintile of income, are pretty likely to end up in any quintile. The probability of ending up in each quintile from bottom to top, is 17%, 23%, 20%, 20%, 19%. Seems pretty fair to me; totally fair would be 20% chance of each.

It's a little skewed for people born into the top quintile, but not so much: 10%, 13%, 21%, 27%, 30%.

I have no direct knowledge of academic careers like mathematics.

I eventually made millions in Silicon Valley and retired at age 40.

One of the best pieces of advice I received in life was this: don't sell yourself short. Try, strive, and then let other people reject you. But never reject yourself. And if others reject you, stand up and try again. If they hit you harder, then get up quicker and hit back harder.

Perhaps you'll find that you're not really all that you thought. Or perhaps you'll find that with each small success, your odds increase in the next round because you learned something important from your failure in the previous round. If you don't stand up and fight the next round, you'll never know the true answer.

The final video [1] has a pretty compelling argument for the conversion to self-driving cars happening quicker than expected:

Chen shows a picture of Easter morning in NYC in 1900 and asks the viewer to play "Where is the car?". After several seconds he highlights the one car in the frame surrounded entirely by house-and-buggy carts.

He then shows a picture of the Easter morning in NYC in 1913 and asks the reverse question: "Where is the horse?", as there is only 1 horse visible in the picture.

Obviously this is a carefully selected anecdote, but this is a really compelling argument that forward progress will be faster than expected.

Yes I know you were being sarcastic.

But you don't need k8s or containers for orchestration.

I chose Hashicorp's Nomad (I'm the dev lead for our company) precisely because I didn't want to commit to Docker from day one but I did want to leave that option open. Nomad works with everything - Docker containers, jar files, shell scripts, raw executables, etc and is dead simple to set up - one < 20Mb self contained executable that works as a client, server and as a member of a cluster. Configuration is dead simple if you use Consul.

The most interesting phenomenon is "sleepers": people who sleep Friday night as their car drives to some scenic overlook sunrise and drive them home from retreat on Sunday night. Rural back roads will be moving at full stream in the dead of night with 'ghost cars' when they were once were completely quiet; zoning will limit noise, speed, illumination, toll's win go up, but airbnb's will flourish.

In the urban zone, there will be competition for scarce roadway as businesses no longer paying a driver, go increasingly JIT, and elite commuters value door to door service. No city gov't will be able to resist the right to tax per mile, tax rush hour surge charges, and tax luxury idle vehicles. This will push the middle and lower market into on demand rentals. And without the driver as an informal superintendent of the vehicle, there will be a very annoying problem of getting into a car that a gross person knew they were never going to be in again. Enter the eye in the sky. Except for customer with a 4-star reputation or higher. This will create a race to the bottom for anyone who can't or won't establish reputation to get passage on an autonomous vehicle.

I think we can't even fully contemplate yet how alienating and de-humanizing self-driving cars are going to large parts of our society, and how amazing they're going to be for others.

The penchant for math is probably randomly distributed between men and women.

But all that is overshadowed by the fact that culturally and societally women are heavily discouraged from entering and succeeding in fields like math. This begins right from childhood, where an abacus may make a good toy for a boy, while the appropriate toy for a girl would be a mini kitchen set.

Fortunately a lot of this is changing, however, the benefits of no longer discouraging 50% of the population from entering science/engineering won't be felt for another couple of generations.

That you haven't run into a technology in years doesn't mean it's dead. It just means that that technology for one reason or another just isn't used in your environment.

I can tell you that both AngularJS and Angular 2 are far from dead. Both existing and new applications (mostly Angular 2) are being actively developed with these technologies.

A lot of custom lab software is written in things like Python3 / PyQT5. While I prefer web interfaces, and think Chrome is as portable an interface as any.

Brine sources are massive, cheaper sources, but take years to come online. The problem was there were about 3-4 major players in Lithium (it was actually a side product for them) and they didn't see the demand rising as quickly as it did.

This allowed for a massive price increase, which made it feasible for hard-rock miners to come in. With a decent project, you could go from finding the resource to production in 12-18 months, as the ore is normally close to the surface, and processing for export is relatively simple.

So the next 12 months a lot of these projects are starting to beging production, while the brine players play catch up.
strace is great. There are times this feels like the modern equivalent of printf() debugging, because working out why a syscall is failing involves a fair amount of back tracing to context sometimes. But, as a foot in the door? its ace.

The reason that Wayland (or X11) protocol uses Unix sockets for communications is because there is not a hierarchical relationship between a client process and the server process (they can be even from different user "sessions"). Also, a client can be launched from anywhere, including a "shell" such as a /bin/bash interactive session.
Most that have been reported in the news are wealthy enough to retire in comfort already. Beyond that, I'm not sure there is a huge number of non-public people losing their jobs over accusations (especially false ones).
I thought the very basis of continuous integration/delivery was the same build moving through various stages of readiness and environments until it’s delivered to production, automatically and continuously. In short, if it’s called continuous delivery, that’s about the only way the process could be setup with containers and still be called CD. Or am I mistaken?

This is an impression i have perceived more than experienced the last few years.

It's incredibly easy, given that every major framework has a cli that does it all for you.
Your examples are rather one sided. Don't forget the organized groups planning violence against Trump supporters during the election, or Hollywood's calls for violence after the election, or the numerous attacks on politicians and police officers.

> In this light, rather than treat individual speech as absolute, overall free speech can be maximized by not tolerating those whose speech silences others.

Taken to the extreme that allows the powerful to silence anyone they choose. You can always argue "I'm offended" by your remarks, therefore you must be silent. But as we've seen (for example, claims that "it's impossible to be racist against white people" and simultaneously defining every conservative position as racist or otherwise prejudiced) the left defines this so that they can do and say anything they like, while the right is always silenced.

> Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

Are you prepared to defend a tolerant society against leftists whose intolerance for disagreement extends even unto violence?

I didn't have the time to watch the video but I am acutely aware of the difference between the 1970 unix and today's. My school was down the road from Bell Labs and we had a PDP-11 running unix in a lab in 1970.

Tail risk. Some renters are terrible and will trash your house. The repair costs can easily wipe out years worth of rent.
A mortgage is what my SO calls "good debt". Reasonable interest on an appreciating asset. Car notes, on the other hand, may or may not be "bad debt" as the asset depreciates immediately and the interest might be high. Credit card debt is most certainly "bad debt". If you can't pay the card off at the end of the month, then you can't afford whatever it is you actually bought.

Rid yourself of "bad" or "marginally bad" debt immediately, manage the "good" debt, then save (rainy day fund, 401K, IRA, speculation). You're doing well if you get to the speculation part.
I'm the lead dev for our company and I chose as phase 1 for our implementation Nomad for orchestration, a bunch of "micro-apps" (single purpose executables), and Consul for configuration and service discovery. I chose that combination for ease of use and flexibility - Nomad works with everything raw executables and containers.

Of course later on the consultants came along later and scoffed at the simplicity of our process - our deployment process is basically one step in our continuous delivery pipeline - copy the bin/release directory to the destination folder.

I tried to get them to articulate a business case for us to use containers. They couldn't come up with one.

Then my manager, someone I really respect for his technical acumen finally gave me one. If we go to containers, we don't have to provision servers on AWS. We can use AWS Fargate. Lambda isn't an option we have long running processes that make more sense as apps.

I wanted to do Docker anyway eventually just to add a bullet point on my resume and I could have as the dev lead but it felt unethical to make a choice that wasn't best for the business. Now I think it's the right way to go.
Listening to other points of view and figuring out how to fit them into what you want to do.
Very much a hobbyist dev machine, and I primarily write video games and related tools on this machine. Some of my emulator projects are cross-platform, so I need to be able to test on Windows for those anyway; it's kind of a general purpose workhorse.

For some reason the phrase "BEM block technology" makes me cringe. It sounds like something a non-technical manager would say, but these guys are actual devs...
