Also having worked at IBM in the 1990s, I can confirm that having corporate standards in place had little to do with what any individual team/department/division actually put on the public web sites. Pretty much the only bit that was controlled and monitored was the page header.
Two reasons to open source: either you're doing it as a hobby and want the world to see it/don't mind sharing it, or you believe/know that open source contributions will be better than what you or your company can do.

Otherwise, open source is terrible for making money. Most clients don't care, but you're giving your competition everything in exchange for nothing.

It's great for society, though.

Just my opinion, and I know a lot of people share it.
Apple's Tim Cook criticizes Facebook business model
No, he definitely wasn't/isn't a Russian agent. You'd have known because then he would have fled to the Russian embassy instead.

Assange basically did what he could to damage the interests of the USA, and probably succeeded wildly beyond his dreams. He's made a whole bunch of stupid calls and he's blown his own credibility and that of WikiLeaks by showing an overt agenda instead of just being a 'dumb pipe'.

Funny though, the one time that he did act as a dumb pipe everybody was screaming blue murder about how irresponsible that was.

Tim Cook on Facebook's data-leak scandal: 'I wouldn't be in this situation'

Minor clarification in case someone else similarly misreads your post at first glance:

Dark matter is not normal matter, and does not exist as particles of normal matter. It's completely distinct, and we don't even know what it is made of. This finding gives good evidence that it's actually real, rather than either simply not existing ("gravity behaves strangely at long distances" hypotheses) or just being normal matter that isn't easily detectable, thus contributing to a galaxy's gravity but not what we can see of it.

This new discovery is of a galaxy whose mass does correspond to what we can see, meaning that we aren't missing obvious explanations for other galaxies, which rules out a lot of hypotheses that might otherwise explain the mass that we can't see for other galaxies.

I know you know this, but it's possible to misinterpret your comment.

I can't speak to Neptune or Uranus, since they are so far out that even Jupiter and Saturn begin to feel more compelling due to Europa and Enceladus.

But in the debate about Mars vs Venus, for me two things stand out:

- We can kick off a Mars terraforming project with our current level of technology. I've heard it said that within a few hundred years we can get it so that all you need outside is thermal protection and an oxygen mask. Reversing the situation on Venus will basically take Star Trek level tech.

- You can leave your habitat on Mars, get some rocks, and pile those rocks up to make more habitat. On Venus, you will have to basically "drill" down to the surface to recover any materials, and I don't think you can easily build dirigibles out of rocks and atmosphere as easily as you can build a hut.
Jim Chanos: We think Tesla is worth zero [1]

I've never understood why Tesla raised debt. They should have been issuing equity and nothing else, capitalizing on the insane valuation its had for the past 3-4 years. Debt would have been fine if they executed well, but they haven't.

Also, being in free-fall relative to the earth isn't locally distinguishable from being in free-fall relative to both the earth and the moon.

Tidal effects are caused by the gradient of the gravitational field across significant distances. And the gradient drops off in proportion to the inverse cube of the distance, not the inverse square. Which is why tidal effects are only observable from the moon and sun, not from other celestial bodies. (Jupiter's gravitational influence on the Earth is about 1% that of the moon, but it's so far away that the tidal effects are infinitesimal.)
Don't forget neutrinos... or a million other things.

I agree that there's too much blame-the-algorithm sentiment here, but if I had to guess, I'd think the author would argue that these racist biases should and could have been caught before going into production -- i.e. it doesn't have to be an inevitable cycle of ad hoc public shaming and repentance. These biases could be identified just as other SERP problems are identified before each algorithm update.

Just like the HP "racist" webcams [0] might have been caught had the CV trainers been more aware of what is/isn't in the training data, and/or if HP had a few more testers of darker complexion.

And perhaps Facebook's "Year in Review" rare tendency to be "cruel" [1] would have been mitigated with a broader group of devs and testers.

No, Russia is looking after its own interests in much the same way that America did for many years. After all, it's not as if the Americans are lily white when it comes to influencing other people's elections, deposing properly elected governments abroad and funding revolutions when it suited their best interests.

So there is a huge amount of hypocrisy there. But that does not excuse Russia for meddling in the affairs of The USA or Europe either.

They're all guilty of this, some more than others.

I get that, it's not that I don't get the reasoning. It's just that it seems backwards to me (like in the phone example). But maybe my comment was an artifact of the fact that I (layman) haven't really bought into the whole idea that we really ever had any "theory" for dark matter in the first place. To me the appropriate headline would've been more like "astronomers find the first galaxy that actually behaves as theories predict".
It shouldn’t be surprising. Engineers routinely talk about how it would be great if we removed the human element and replaced it with algorithmic decision making. But see how sentencing algorithms give longer prison terms to black people. Yes, the technical explanation is that it’s just reflecting society’s racism. But the point is that, contrary to the bill of sale, using algorithms doesn’t actually remove the human element. Indeed, there is a good argument (as the author of this piece makes elsewhere) that it ossifies the human biases that exist at one moment in time.

But if you want to compare the Washington Post with the BBC or Al Jazeera then you might find some balance between those.

Company was moving microservices and containers anyway, so Kubernetes is one of the few sane options to run them.

I can't say that anything got worse. Once you (collectively) get past the initial learning curve and add automation in place, it's way better than most other deployment scenarios. Kubernetes worker nodes fail from time to time, AWS kills them and we barely notice. POds get rescheduled automatically and mostly work.

Frankly, the remaining headache-inducing things are mostly related to the software which is not running on Kubernetes (mostly stateful infrastructure, and mostly for non-technical reasons). Managing VMs is a pain.

There is one thing that one needs to be careful. If you are moving from a VM for each service, to Kubernetes, now suddenly your service is sharing a machine with other services, which wasn't the case before. So I'd suggest that proper resource limits be set so that the scheduler can work properly.

One thing that can get worse is network debugging. There are way more moving parts, so it is not as easy to just fire up wireshark.

"Racism" involves prejudice and discrimination predicated on the belief that one race is superior/inferior to another. If a face-detection algorithm fails to easily recognize black or Asian faces, such that people of that ethnicity/race have to go through a more manual/friction-laden process (think manual pat-downs and searches from TSA) to be verified as "human" or "citizen", then how is that algorithm not responsible for discriminatory treatment?

I do agree, though, that it is wrong to infer that the algorithms themselves are evil or malicious -- it's possible to be racist without having negative intentions.

But what does it say about a society if it continues to optimize algorithms (and related infrastructure) for one group over another?

Well, there may be multiple causes. However I think that the catalan cause is a stronger explanation because

1) the spanish nationalist media is all histerical about this event, thanking Ecuador for its help and solidarity

2) this comes just one day after Assange started re-tweeting again about Catalonia, after several months of radio silence about the subject

3) he has always been commenting about russia, the uk, and many other things.

4) The UK can not effectively cut the connection to Assange, only Ecuador (by threatening to expel him from his embassy).

copyright has a fair use clause, which states that one can decompile software to produce a derivative for the purposes of interoperability. This then must assume that any apis being implemented has to both fall under copyright (otherwise, this law does not apply to api), but also means that the law allows for the use of the api for the purposes of interoperability (and therefore, you cannot claim to have the sole rights to an api).
