Yes, I would say that for many people, breaking laws carries a moral charge. Therefore prisoners are necessarily bad people, and deserve bad things (of course, people rarely extend this judgement to their own law-breaking, like speeding, jay-walking, etc.) And all of this when you could ask them where laws come from, if they can be changed or repealed and they'd agree they are just provisional. I think this attitude is mostly a developmental stage that has to be moved beyond - we are taught from an early age to follow rules, and only in adulthood do we potentially understand that sometimes it's better not to, or even morally necessary not to.
Pure submarine marketing.

Trying to figure out the math on this. Let's say I pay slack $1000 a month and it goes down for one full day - does that mean I get (1/30 * 1000) * 100 = $3,333?

(Assume 30 day month and 100% up time SLA for simplicity)
Anyone else think of Snowcrash and the Pizza Deliverators? In the book, the mafia-backed pizza delivery company simply guaranteed that your pizza would arrive in 30 minutes. Or else what? No, it was just a Guarantee. In the rare event they failed to deliver, they apologized in the form of outrageous vacations and such. The self-imposed penalty for failure was so great that recipients actively hope for failure.

Pretty great guarantee for the customer, all in all, although on the flip side, if your business uses Slack for critical communication in an emergency, the potential cost to you for a Slack outage might similarly be many orders of magnitude beyond the price of Slack.

The typical reaction I guess is, nice thing to do, but I’d be interested in the economics of the need to keep churn low, that probably makes this a good move financially.

Also its a credits and not cash rebate? So if I bail I get nothing?
Thanks for sharing this, I've not been (and never will be) a SV employee, so it's interesting to see such a different perspective.

The big question that I didn't quite get from the post, is why did promotion matter so much to you? Everything seemed to hinge on that, but you didn't quite explain why it was so important, other than "what a great title - people would be so impressed". It sounds like when you were happy with your title, you were happy with your work - you "lovingly" fixed the old pipeline, wrote documentation, helped colleagues etc. Were there particular benefits to being promoted that would have increased your daily happiness?
It's difficult to realize a structural benefit to society through charity.

It’s not really an overpayment. When we have an outage with a SaaS product during the workday, I usually ask for a one month credit and providers are happy to oblige. That’s 100x if it’s eight hours of downtime, 200x for four hours.
@josephsunny I'm curious how the money works out after Paypal/stripe get their cut. From what I've seen transactions run around 3% + $0.30. Operating in small amounts seems like the fees would sink any such effort. Have you found something that works to handle small payments without getting killed on fees for each transaction?
I guess that's a complex topic to answer. Assume that the time and space complexity of maintanance increases with each article, because not every article is perfect. Then you need a good reason to increase that complexity.

Anyone else find that even as they do their best to be frugal, expenses pile up as fast as your paycheck does?

In my case, as soon as I started making decent money, I got a hearing and glasses (I didn't have them before), started taking physiotherapy to fix my shoulders, going to the dentist, changing the oil in my car on schedule, buying shoes as they wore out instead of pushing them until they gave me hip and knee problems, etc... I wouldn't say I was "unhappy" about any of those things before I could afford them, but I simply didn't spend money on them.
That's still not great logic. Think of all the crazy shit you have seen fix machines. If all the was implemented you would have users doing some truly bizarre things.
No, it's just Service Credits. So if Slack goes down for one full day, you get 100 free days of Slack in the future.

https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204113126-Service-L... .

Or more realistically, if Slack goes down for 30 minutes, you get 50 hours of Slack for free in the future.

It's hard to calculate the actual value of these service credits.
They can do a DAF if they are in the us.
But choice is between, both currently and with a perpetual license, “if I get hit by a bus, my customer is hosed” and, with escrow, ”if I get hit by a bus, my customer at least has a fighting chance, however small”.

With escrow, your customer certainly isn’t worse of.
100x the price paid "during the period Slack was down" probably doesn't amount to much money. E.g. if you're down for an hour, that would likely void the SLA, but refunding for 100 hours is not much money vs how much a company would pay each month.
Amazing. I love this. Slack, you are a great great company.

Compare this with AWS (disclosure: I worked there 2008-2014): you get refunded of the downtime in proportion to the month - e.g. 1 day of downtime means a ~3% discount on your monthly costs. Absurd. The damage is far greater than that.

Slack's policy is a great way to respect customers. Well well well done. Bravi.

Exactly. Because it's paid in the form of a service credit, this gets the customer who might be considering leaving an incentive to stay just long enough to forget/forgive the whole incident.
> The U.S. houses, on the other hand, are stick-frame wooden structures that won't last even the lifespan of the owner.

I'm... confused about this. Our house was built in 1912 making it about 106 years old now. Sure - things have needed to be upgraded - gas lamps to fuses to breaker panel; single pane windows to double hung double pane; coal heating to gas furnace, etc... but the frame is still solid. Nothing is 16 inches on center, hahahaha (hahah :( ), but even the hard wood floors are original. A sanding and a re-stain / poly and their just as good as new.

That's correct (in account credit). Slack is generally very reliable, I'm sure it works out for them comfortably. Over 3 years we've had maybe three of four instances where we've lost availability for 15 minutes or more, never anything even close to a day.

When I was implementing a language learning program (who hasn't? :) ), using logistic regression was working quite well to quickly find my vocabulary level in about 10 questions in the top 10000 most frequently used words list adaptively (I ran a full logistic regression on the user dataset after each new data point, by mapping the position of the words to the estimated level of the user), and the questions just felt right. So I'm not talking about multiple logistic regression model, just using 1 variable, which works with lots of questions (as long as the question hardness is well calibrated).

Although I'm happy that you're trying to predict the most informative question, for me some questions near the end felt trivial, so either my feeling wasn't right about the hardness of a question, or the algorithm has lots of space to improve, or the question hardness levels weren't calibrated optimally.

Anyways congrats for the success for your startup (I just hope that you prioritize people who don't have U.S. VISA)!

If an external package has scripts in it, those scripts have very likely been run by somebody on a mac and somebody on linux and worked in both cases.

Don't Fear the Rebase
Is it also a failure (moral or otherwise) for the State to not tell citizens of this particular duty? Speaking anecdotally, citizens' duties are vaguely described as "participate, stay informed, obey and support laws." It took me decades to notice the subtle and complex intentions of the State and private actors that counter freedoms in said laws.

Not being Stallman or a full-time civil liberties defender, what's a good way for the basic citizen to be more informed, and better evaluate FB-like services?

treated as money transmitters under a loose interpretation of some state statutes)."
Similarly, David Einhorn and Greenlight continue to get squeezed by the price-insensitive investors of NFLX, AMZN, and TSLA.

The last time I was interviewed by phone at Amazon, I was asked to write a binary tree to a file. Time given: 30 minutes. Does that count as a puzzle? Did lot's on exercises on binary trees before but was not prepared for that question.
To elaborate slightly::

The CA/B is a standing meeting between two groups with very different objectives that have an ongoing need to reach some sort of agreement: the Certificate Authorities and the Browsers (in reality more or less the Operating System vendors except Mozilla represents the Free Unixes). This meeting must not appear to be a cartel because cartels are illegal, so it mustn't discuss prices or agree what products should or should not be marketed.

m.d.s.policy is de facto the only public oversight for the entire Web PKI. Mozilla as a Browser vendor (and as hinted above, on behalf of all the Free Unixes) gets to insist upon Rules, not only enforcing rules agreed at CAB, but also making its own rules on top for Certificate Authorities in its Trust Store. As a Charity one of its rules is that it insists on doing almost everything in Public using m.d.s.policy, there is no other obligation on a Certificate Authority to engage with the public at all, but Mozilla's rules force them to tell Mozilla important things via this public group and to answer questions impertinent members of the public (like me) ask them on m.d.s.policy.

Mozilla (and other Browser vendors) is entirely free to insist upon whatever rules they want. The CA/B does not bind them, like the UN it is a forum to meet, and to come to agreements, but it cannot force you to agree to anything you don't want. Two recent illustrative examples:

The CA/B took ages to reform the Domain Validation methods, terribly weak methods had been popular for years, with all sorts of stupid design flaws, and after it did finally vote on a reformed list of methods, CA members claimed a bunch of patents needed to be licensed stalling things for months extra. Mozilla cut through the bullshit and said essentially "See that list of ten methods you voted on that's stuck in Lawyer hell? Too bad, our policy now requires you obey the list which we're naming the Ten Blessed Methods"

Google wanted to reduce the maximum lifetime of new certificates. It takes ages to get CAs to introduce a new rule, and then years while the old certificates made under the old rule expire, too long for Google. So they made an ultimatum, fix it or we'll just tell Chrome to reject certificates after 90 days, and that's the new maximum certificate lifetime. The CA/B eventually voted through a compromise 825 days (which goes into effect tomorrow, 1 March 2018) instead of the previous 39 month limit.
If that is true by definition, then there are going to be a lot of very surprised macro-economists.
Basically, if the federal government decides it is going to regulate an area, the states can't make contradictory regulations. So, if the federal government says, ISPs can charge what they want for internet access, the states can't make a rule that says they can't. By removing the NN provisions, they did not give up regulating ISPs, they just moved the regulation back to where it was before Obama made up the new rules right before he left office.

That is not at all what the book is about.

Not only was the drug legal, the premise of bringing people in has nothing to do with the plot and theme of the book.
The article states, "All internet service offered in Washington would have to be free from blocking or throttling of legal online content. Nor could it be subject to a system of premium-priced “fast lanes” that offer better bandwidth to content providers that pay extra for the privilege."

So, the law does prevent ISPs from offering "faster" internet, however you define it. I still don't see the distinction between allowing consumers to pay for faster internet, but prohibiting content providers from doing the same thing. I pay more for 250 mbps. Why can't Comcast offer Netflix additional speed for more money, which would be illegal under this law? As I understand it, slowing down your competitors is already illegal under the FTC rules.

I'll be the first to admit that to a DNS expert my original phrasing was not fully precise or fully complete, but calling it "factually not correct" is unfair. As the GP hints the idea is that you cycle through a large number of open resolvers around the world, putting the key into, let's say, 10 of them each time for redundancy & availability. As you usually cannot extend the timeout on those servers, you simply move to a different set of 10 servers during each refresh.

That's true, but I guess only after Java people started to notice this effect.

Does Google realise that the core of the resistance from the so-called vocal minority isn't about the language itself, but the (perception, at least) that Google was being too self-serving in its promotion and use?

Obviously every company will be self-serving in its technology choices. But it seems to me that people got the feeling that Google was doing themselves a favour, more than doing everyone a favour.

Perhaps you just chose the wrong tool for the job. Just because you are able to do similar things with make, doesn't mean it is has to be suited to your chosen use case. It's a tool that was created with a specific purpose in mind, with specific constraints, and it works fine for thousands (I assume) of people every day. You can't blame it for not being a general-purpose programming language. Make isn't beyond building other tools that you can write yourself - and use in the very same makefiles - to assist in handling cases like this, however.
Try the Opposite
This would be a variant of Odds and Evens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds_and_evens ), though Odds and Evens is kept honest by the fact that it's an adversarial game, so there's no point in players colluding to fix the outcome. To obviate any concerns of player collusion you'd need to ensure that the GM is one of the people picking the numbers, and once you've gone this far you actually only need two people to pick the numbers (the GM and one player), which will be just as random as having all players pick the numbers (setting aside the human tendency to pick "random" numbers non-randomly, which is hopefully mitigated by the adversarial nature of the choice). You'd also need some way for the adversaries to prove that they chose their numbers before the other number was revealed, which, as in Odds and Evens, you can do with your fingers (don't fret about the d20, you can count to 20 on your fingers with enough imagination).
