Don't despair. Despite common perception, most AWS products are half-baked and clunky. (I don't have much experience with other Amazon products.) A while ago when GCP appeared in the scene, the team I was in performed a series of tests to evaluate it. In all our tests, GCP came out ahead of AWS. On top of that, their documentation and UI was better and prices were lower. That's part of how Google managed to get a foothold in the cloud services space.

AWS premium support doesn't help much when you are fighting fire because the first line support staff is clueless. It will take you days to reach a person who can actually help you.

IMHO, if you are offering a standalone product, you can always do better than Amazon (AWS). Whether you can beat them depends on variables other than the quality of your product.

You have the wrong idea about the show. It exists to promote the shark's own businesses and products under the guise of a contest reality show. To keep up the facade, they allow other companies to put their products up for a price, and intersperse a couple of silly products to keep people watching.

It's just dressed up advertising, it's not about investing or business by any flip of the coin.
> As a company that uses third-party services for data processing (which includes almost every piece of SaaS-type software) you have to sign a data processing agreement with each of those, which can mean considerable effort.

At least for SaaS it's pretty clear-cut. For freelancers, contractors and consultants the situation is way more confused.

AFAICT I need a data processing agreement with every client, even if I only log into their servers once a month to update WordPress and check their logs, because I am now deemed to be processing personal information.

These details need talking about, and I've yet to see industry bodies doing so.

If you're in the US, any license you got was snake oil. There is no licensure for service or emotional support/therapy animals.

There are no legal requirements or standards for either in terms of training either, the only standard is that if the animal is being disruptive they can ask you to remove it, but must then provide reasonable accommodation to the disabled person in the animal's absence.
This is great advice. Especially for larger companies, price is a minor factor compared to whether a product really solves a problem and solves it well. Often, when people complain about price, it actually means they just aren't that interested and are looking for something to use as an excuse.

As a matter of simple physics, the only way pedestrians are killed in crashes is because cars are moving sufficiently fast to bring deadly force to a crash— which makes cars traveling at speeds over 20mph in areas with pedestrians the fundamental cause of pedestrian deaths.

Its not a matter of whether someone accidentally upgrades to a major release. Its a matter of whether the release is ready to use in production, and when you have plugins like extract-text that are crucial components to the vast majority of workflows and they haven't been given enough time to upgrade, you can't seriously claim that v4 is production ready.

If its a matter of putting it in the hands of users sooner than later, that's what a beta period is for. Releasing this before the documentation is even ready is just irresponsible.
This is really great news. I wonder how this deal went down, businesswise. MoltenVK used to be a commercial offering by Brenwill Workshop. The way the press release[1] mentions how Khronos "worked" with Valve and Brenwill Workshop to "enable" this release makes it sound like there might have been money involved. If so, great for both Brenwill Workshop and the community.

I believe the appeal to be (though fallacious) that with a ground up rewrite you already have an entire functional specification of the system you need to build. No need for annoying customer engagements, requirements analysis, spec-ing, scoping, etc.

With these rewrites do you just abandon maintaining the legacy system and focus on the new one?

I find it immensely more satisfying to "rewrite" a system using the Ship of Theseus approach (aka Strangler Pattern). If there are no tests, the first (and exciting) challenge is to put some behavioral tests in place in an attempt to protect it from the changes you are about to make.
To dismiss something because there is a lack of scientific research about it is just as irrational as believing in something despite strong evidence against it.

>...unless they have reached a certain level of legend

That is a similar tactic I use now for anything core. I know I commented that we don't have any dependencies in our core systems, but as an afterthought, this isn't entirely accurate. We do, but as you said they are "legendary", and don't change a whole lot anymore.

I think you are on the right track. :)

Edit: Keep business practicality in mind, if using a 3rd party library means you feed your family or are productive for the business, you need to weigh these considerations carefully.

It's likely you need to use a dependency to get your work done, and then later when you are more profitable, you can clean it out if need be. Maybe that is how I should have worded my first comment in retrospect.

If you accept that Blockchain is useful for record keeping (and the innovation is that it's useful for trustless record keeping) then crypto currencies are useful as part of that ecosystem. Smart contracts for example - very useful to have crypto currencies that can be added to a contract or be given to a contract. Also, having a currency/credit is useful to manage economics (e.g. it costs "gas" credit to run smart contracts).

I am planning on doing a site rip for my personal reference, in case I need to leverage any of these documents in the future. I've never used the site before but it seems like a nice resource that I would like to have.

If I do the site rip are you interested in obtaining a copy?

EDIT - in case it wasn't obvious, I am only interested in and referring to the publicly available documents aspect of Docracy, which is what I assumed you were talking about. But I realize you may be using their other, private features like holding private contracts and digitally signed documents. If you are interesting in my pending rip of the freely available documents, let me know.

People in SV like to think they have unconventional ideas, but they all think the same way. ie, if you don't have the same pseudo-thought-provoking-disruptive ideas as the others, you will be laughed at literally.

Tickets based development can not work very well.

We need tickets (hell, I have to write them for myself on personal projects, otherwise I get locked), but we need something else too. I also wonder how we can formalize that something else - time-boxing it is harmful, full attention to it is harmful, having to explain it too much is harmful.

Well.... they've made grid-tie solar untenable, but off-grid solar is becoming more viable with products like the Tesla Powerwall. Costs aren't low enough to make it financially viable for most people, but for new construction that faces high costs to run utility power, it can already be cheaper.

By discouraging grid-tie solar, utilities may be shooting themselves in the foot as off-grid becomes more affordable.

In what context can something real not be measured? Putting aside the strawman of “scientism” I’m curious what “other contexts” you have in mind in which cause and effect aren’t linked?

No no no, what we can't handle is objectivity! Everything is relative so it is striking me as absolutely paradox to pretend we could leave our frame of reference anyway and "ride a photon" measuring it's speed with a stop watch.

Instead you simply have to deal with towers of abstractions, understand the experiments. It is counter-intuitive to claim we also couldn't see photons, but really, the disconnect between theory and phenomenology is rather large. I guess we are only really interested in the weak-electromagnetic force. And that's a probabilistic theory thanks to quantum mechanics. Discrete systems are macroscopic simplifications for didactic and deductive reasons.

Gravity is next to the other three basic forces. That's a simple dualism. So time stands still for the photon, but space bends. And we can't fully explain how.

And don't get me started on infinity. It's just a number big enough for all intents and purposes. Conversely, it's pretty simple to think about the opposite: Nothing. So if you you take an infinite amount of time to observe a clock at light speed from your inertial frame of reference, it will just not move at all -- there are no "2 ticks". Corollary: A photon doesn't experience time at all. And this holds in quantum mechanics, because a photon doesn't exist until observed. A photon is thus the measure of interaction, a delta on our clock. Colloquially, time is the order of events -- if nothing happens, time stands still.

For sake of the argument: If you just switch the photon and observer in your example, the photon in infinite time wouldn't "see" any time pass on the outside observers clock. He wouldn't move. But this is just too simplistic, you have two points in space that practically can't move, because they don't

From the frame of reference of a photon, the environment would

> 2 ticks on a clock (ΔT) at c, take an infinite amout of time in the reference frame of an ordinary observer (Δt).

Extending the thought, you are trying to multiply infinity by infinity. As you said, we cannot handle infinities. I guess that is because there can be only one, one singularity, one universe. That's why the speed of light is set at unit-interval.

Could someone define it for a non-mathematician? Or would that be Taylorism?

EDIT:

The businessdictionry.com links explained it well enough. I think this has already been done with creativity, many times over. I imagine it is more harmful to a field like mathematics, though. This is not to say it isn’t a problem. The current state of art school is an atrocity. But, if I’m not mistaken, art has tendency to not only get distracted by the novelty of imitation but to get entirely lost in it, whereas the field of mathematics would have just enough concern for such uninterested forms of curiosity to account for them. This is a lazy account of what maybe Plato would say. Basically, art was screwed in this way from the onset and mathematics has a lot more at stake.

I don't have a ton of first hand knowledge on the risk appetite of banks or the effect of banking regulation. But I assert that Matt Levine is very knowledgeable about these things and he disagrees with you. His points are that multiple 10 figure fines, higher capital requirements, and a general culture shift have actually made banks less profitable and less risky, as was intended. EG:

Every state is different in terms of regulations and local governments can vary in terms of processes, especially with the size of the jurisdiction.

In my experience cities have just as many procurement problems as state/federal but with far less money to spend. You may have success with a Dropbox/Hootsuite approach of selling to non-traditional users under certain price limits. It just makes it so much harder when it's your only market.

As to plentiful discretionary funds... everyone's definition of this is different. Another challenge I've faced with local governments is that their speed to spend is similar to state & feds. Smaller sales with a sales velocity the same as if not slower than the feds is another challenge.

But if you've got people to make fast decisions and spend enough so that the unit economics makes sense you have my heartiest congratulations.

> Is all regulation good? No. Is all deregulation good? No. It is not a black and white issue.

Right. Likewise, not all regulation is bad, and not all deregulation is bad. Because you offer no actual analysis of whether these regulations are good or bad, your aspersions about the "revolving door" are premised on simply assuming that crypto-currency regulations are bad, while the regulations being targeted by the Trump administration are good.

> (forced arbitration, preventing salaried overtime, preventing class action) is inherently bad

None of those things are "regulation." There is no regulation requiring people to enter into arbitration agreements, or to agree to forego overtime, or waive class-action privileges. The government is simply choosing not to prevent people from entering into those agreements. That's deregulation.
the vast majority of rewrite movements I've observed or been part of are clearly, unambiguously due to the fact that:

- the legacy system is a spaghetti code nightmare
- with arcane and manual deployment process
- years of band-aid hacks layered over every component
- inseparable two-way dependencies across all bounded contexts
- inscrutable data structures
- nearly impossible to debug
- utterly fragile and mostly undocumented
- riddled with dead code and unused components that merely confuse the poor soul tasked with debugging
- often so intertwined with dependent systems that there's a dev "environment" shared across programmers because no one can develop on their machine.

THIS is why your programmers fantasize about a big rewrite. Every time.
