I think the author is correct in that the current "#DeleteFacebook" trend is heavily misguided, the outrage shouldn't be regarding the fact that Facebook allowed anyone access to data, it should be that they had centralized and collected so much data in the first place. I feel that tech companies should also be subjected to same scrutiny as the medical field with regards to data. Make it so that collecting data is a huge responsibility so much so that the effect of loosing it like so becomes a heavy liability. Also we need to stop pretending as if users are completely innocent. There should be some culpability shared with the user who chooses to share friend's data to a third party without consent. Though if such a system would ever come into place is yet to be seen.
It’s easy to twist that into “you clearly failed to disclose this number because you have something to hide”.

> very thing that caused Google to remove Kodi from search results in the first place

The irony is that Google has made far more money off of "piracy" than Kodi.

The sad thing is that a certain select set of companies gets special privileges while open source endeavors like Kodi get shafted.

If Kodi had a lot of private consumer data to trade for legal immunities it would be a different story.

Thanks for sharing these good sources. I’m eager to read them and learn more.

I also recommend Empires of the Atlantic World by J.W. Elliot. Although the book is broad-ranging and not focused exclusively the causes of depopulation, it presents details of how Spain viewed inhabitants of the New World in the same way as it did those of territories it had recently conquered in Europe: as vassals who would provide the labour, while the conquerors sat at the top of the social hierarchy and pursued the consolidation of the conquest and extraction of resources.

From this perspective, the subsequent depopulation was not the intended goal of the conquerors, although they indeed caused it through disease, wars against resisting groups, and disasterous attempts at improving the agriculture system to fit European models.

I agree. Golang is the winner at the moment because it supports compile to Mac, Linux, and Windows. The deployment of golang app is just so good (no extra installation) that I can ignore its lower level of abstraction.

In embedded, using a cheaper microcontroller or HW offloading can bring big benefits. The former might boost profit a lit across high volume of units sold. 8-16 bit MCU's still account for a huge chunk of what's sold with it being over a billion dollar market. People will use C and/or assembly. For same reason, there's even still a market for 4-bit MCU's used in things like watches and Gilette razors. Like to see demoscene take on 4bitters.

It provides an excuse to be selectively abused to deport people, since it applies so broadly.
Both, I think. I would be surprised if there is not a higher-bandwidth, larger, more expensive high gain rooftop CPE which can be used by a small ISP/WISP in a remote area. They would use that for their uplink to the internet and then distribute access locally via point to multipoint 5 GHz radio systems, GPON fiber, whatever is feasible.

Anecdotally, there are definitely several homeless customers of the storage facility I use, but I don't think they live there, per se; if only because there are cameras and a check-in/out security system that would catch them if they were sleeping there regularly. I think they just store whatever possessions they still have and use it as a secure place to change clothes, even sit and have some peace for an hour (it's a conditioned indoor building).

They all look the same.

There is now way to tell if a position is any more than remotely relevant, because job postings are all the same.

If you want a group (prospective employees) to sift itself (only apply to jobs they want or are qualified for), you should make a concerted effort to give them the information needed to do that. Unfortunately, no one really does.

But for whatever reason, people do not get distribution. They tend to overlook it. It is the single topic whose importance people understand least. Even if you have an incredibly fantastic product, you still have to get it out to people. The engineering bias blinds people to this simple fact. The conventional thinking is that great products sell themselves; if you have great product, it will inevitably reach consumers. But nothing is further from the truth.

Napoleon Bonaparte (might have) famously described Britain as a "nation of shopkeepers". I spend a lot of my time trying to live up to that ideal! I'll try to keep this brief ...

I was (1997-2000) a contractor in the IS department for the really large aerospace company in Yeovil, Somerset, UK (it's changed hands a few times). I eventually got to the team doing server management, app delivery etc ie third line. IS was due to be "facilities managed" and two of my colleagues approached me to be the MD of this thing they'd cooked up. The idea was we would go external and resell ourselves as a unit back through the on site supplier of IT/IS services. The supplier chosen by said aerospace company used to have a short name that matched the name of a famous sauce from these shores - it's brown (the sauce) and starts with H.

We rented a small unit down the road (proper rural around here) and had an old PC that ran Win 98 as a file server etc etc. We put in a ISDN BRI link (2x 64Kbs-1) for internets. We had one customer.

We moved on gradually and learned. Our first employee stayed for around eight years and then moved on - still in touch. Employees 2 and 3 (poached off a local travel agency - terrible pay there but we could better the pay despite being a little setup: E2 stayed for 10 years and moved on and sadly played silly buggers with customers - nothing too detrimental but still a bad taste left behind. E3 still with us, complications recently but all good now.

By 2013ish we now have around 15 odd employees. We have moved to a bigger pair of units in the same area that we started from. We now have modern systems involving (small) racks, virtualisation etc.

The norm for most companies is to rent but I wanted to own my premises. My thinking was that we could do more stuff. We looked for a while and ended up buying (story short!) an NHS clinic in Yeovil which is the largest town in the area.

We now have five internet connections - a leased line (100M) and four FTTC (ADSL 80/20) and a pair of pfSense HA routers running on Dell R310s (to be ditched soon - they can't do AES-NI) with a lot of IPSEC VPNs and OpenVPNs and 10ish internal VLANS. We have a proper computer room with proper gear. We also have a lot more customers these days. We are now ISO 9001 and 27001 registered and lots more stuff.

Every day I love going to work. Don't get me wrong - it's still hard. I came into work the other day and found an employee in tears. I sent them home (obviously, I can't say too much here). Two of our employees have moved on and then come back again (one of them was once a lover of one of my business partners). Thanks to our past involvement with a large firm whose name is saucy, we have several customers these days that you will probably have heard of.

One thing that I think we have is that we have three Directors - a Triumvirate if you like. Any two can gang up on one - it works very well.

I'm a very lucky person. I'll never be a millionaire but I'm very comfortable as far as I'm concerned. I'm a shopkeeper and fucking proud of it.

Cheers

> they would only go to such effort if there's another reason that they actually care about to deport that person.

They would do that under those conditions. Not "only". So you answered your own question, if you actually want to make the argument (via slipping in that "only") that it's okay for the govt to use this to get rid of people they want to get rid of for reasons that on their own aren't sufficient, then make the argument.

It's simply an example of a good systems pattern/approach.
It's not silly in the least. Revoking citizenship is hard and you need to clearly define why it's happening and that the law stipulates you can.

You think the President or Congress can just snap their fingers and say "you no longer are a citizen!"?
I wasn't clear about "low-level". I mean "lower level of abstraction". Lower level of abstraction often means higher amount of detail programmers have to take care of.

For example:

1. Rust is on a lower level of abstraction than Go is. Because, in Rust, when we use strings we have to think whether we should use `String` or `&str`. In many types of applications, we just want a string. We don't care which type of a string we need. It's too much detail.

2. Golang is on a lower level of abstraction than, say, Ruby on the aspect of error handling. Maybe, for a command line tool, I don't want to explicitly handle exception on every statement. I just want it to exit if an error occur. It's too much detail.

3. Python can be thought of as being on a lower level of abstraction than Ruby. For example, in Python, there are 3 ways of getting the first element of an array or null (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/363944/python-idiom-to-r..., well, which one is better?) In Ruby, the function is already encapsulated in main library (e.g. `.first`), and people don't have to care of this kind of detail.

I think assembly has only gotten less popular in a relative sense. Sure, there are now many jobs doing high-level stuff, but the low-level stuff hasn't gone away. It really can't go away, because all that high-level stuff is built upon it.

I can show unique landing pages so you can look at detect if they are doing A/B testing or not.

Things to Note When Siting a Fish Farm
The best response I've got is probably "Well, hiring me will be expensive, but not as expensive as hiring the wrong applicant instead". However, for obvious reasons I wouldn't recommend actually using that one under most circumstances!

Being serious, anyone asking something like this is probably just expecting you to kiss ass without being too obvious about it. If you really could make an exceptional contribution, perhaps because it's a field you genuinely want to work in after doing some related research or project during your course, by all means mention that. Otherwise the best thing you can do with a question like this is be polite and constructive. It might help to pick up on specific things you could offer that have been touched on earlier in the interview or at least mentioned in the job spec. If it's still early in the interview and you haven't got to that sort of discussion yet, try to turn the conversation around and discuss what they're looking for and then how you could help.

Read this earlier today. I was struck by the idea of "unionizing" users to help them take action against corporate interests who ultimately control user data. This makes particular sense when you think about data as a new form of labor that is produced by the many (users) but controlled by a few in power (the people who work at technology companies).

This idea has been around for a while [1], yet no "unions" for users of social networks seem to currently exists. Ironically, organizing a union seems like something that could easily be done via social media [2].

We have a collaborative, Google Docs-like application that currently issues a write every time someone types into a text field. Now, clearly it's suboptimal and something that should be optimized to batch the updates, but on the other hand, with Postgres we've had zero incentive to make such an optimization, because it's able to handle thousands of writes per node in real time with no queuing happening on the client. I don't expect this from Cockroach, but I would definitely want low latency.
I agree that the interviewee should know a answer. I don't like the spite/table flip answers suggested elsewhere for sure - I expect a prospective employee to be cooperative and marginally helpful no matter what.
However, speaking as somebody that has been asked this question, and someone who has considered asking it, a part of what a good answer to it means involves knowing about what the other applicants are like - compare and contrast is the real substantive bit of the answer here. It might be possible to avoid that implication by phrasing the question differently, but I can't think of a way off the top of my head.
The backgrounds and capabilities of the other candidates applying isn't likely to be something a prospective employee has the ability to find out about.
Just having some basic research done about all the problems the prospective employee might be asked to solve on the job is a reasonable ask of a candidate. As a candidate I demonstrate that by reading as much about the company online as I can an incorporating that into other answers. As long as the interviewer understands the limitation around knowing what the competition pool is like and interprets the answer to this question in that context I'm sympathetic.
There's no irony. It's often given in that form.
