It's exciting for me, if only to see a pure golang implementation. I never tried using database/sql but all the drivers use CGO and so I didn't want to have to wade through building my code with any of them.
I think it has gotten larger in reality like you said, but our Media doesn't display it even in the slightest because none of it is free from corporate interests.
> he has the chance to be a leader and form a coalition of ripped off economies.

Oh, like some sort of partnership comprised of other Pacific based countries to create some sort of trade agreement that would make the coalition members have a stronger voice when negotiating trade agreements with China? We may even call it a Trans-Pacific Partnership[0].

Infinite variations is the bane of free/open software. It is the primary reason it hasn't taken over everything, IMHO.
Hmm, not convinced about that.

My Boss is smart and he'd wonder what the business plan would be should say 5 years down the line you want to move away from the cloud for some reason.

You threw away decades of accumulated knowledge about the company and it's systems to save some money upfront.

He thinks on a longer scope than most bosses I've known though (largely because his family own the group so he doesn't have to answer to shareholders).

Dystopia of Western Decadence This Week
This is a better articulation of where you feel stuck, so that's helpful.

A lot of design decisions come down to pattern matching: you learn how to recognize certain patterns and that helps you decide (I recommend reading some of Gary Klein's books, e.g. "Power of Intuition"). So you need to expand patterns you can match.

Some ideas:

1. Read case studies, e.g. http://www.aosabook.org/en/index.html. But ideally case studies tied to specific problems you're facing at work, rather than generically. A case study is specifically "here's what we built and why", which is more useful for pattern matching than "here's a tool you can do some stuff with".

2. Get your experienced colleagues to explain their thinking. Since they're mostly pattern matching, they can't necessarily offhand explain why they chose something, so maybe try to force them to think more explicitly. E.g. ask questions like "here's a hypothetical different approach, why wouldn't you go with that" and see if they can articulate that beyond "it's wrong" - how is it wrong?

3. Switch to job where you can learn more.

4. Build prototypes, see how they fail.

5. Get your colleagues to tell stories about failures and successes.
It's different, because an organization or individual making a negative movie about China might get all their future movies blacklisted from the country.
Uh, I think you need to review history of computing. The market was full of competing platforms in the early 80's. The PC became the dominant platform due to complex network effects, the least not being the IBM brand. DOS was bought from a third party guy in a garage and slapped on top of the x86 platform.

I didn't say "you don't get it", I said "you are not a customer". Not having the same needs as someone else does not imply that you do not understand those needs or are unable to reflect on whether you might share those needs. You know your needs quite well and I assume you considered whether the product met a need of yours.

But just saying "I don't need this and it probably wouldn't work even if I did" doesn't add any clarity either. :-)

What would add clarity is to ask the creator whether they see it being applicable in a particular use case, and you can give your specific use case, and give them the chance to say "yes, here's why" or "no, the product doesn't help you". Then future readers can see the use case and decide if they have similar needs to you and it would greatly help their purchasing decision.

Honestly, I wish more product discussions were focused like that. "Here's my situation" and the entrepreneur gave an honest "yes, here's why" or "no, the product doesn't help you". But it typically is just a commentator saying "I don't need this because I solved that problem myself" and the product person claiming that it works in every use case, so other readers don't get as much of a benefit from the discussion.
Oh, it's more overt than that.

Ajit Pai has been rolling back FCC regulations preventing Sinclair from massively expanding its media empire. In exchange, with Pai acting as a go-between for Trump and Sinclair, Sinclair promised Trump that he'd get better media coverage. [1]

"Independence" is incompatible with "being forced by corporate to grant your credibilty to their talking points".

You can't say Sinclair is "combating the national news broadcasters"; they themselves are a national news broadcaster. They just happen to like branding themselves with local faces.
I attended a performance of Four Organs in April 2017. There was an incredible amount of tension in the room because the performers looked like they were at their limit of being able to successfully pull off the performance. They did succeed, and the audience roared with applause and cheers.
Few would claim that all regulations are bad. But regulations often age badly. Regulators and the companies they regulate are both motivated to freeze the state of the industry over time. So when new technologies like smartphones allow doing something better, the regulations often prohibit it (as they did with taxis.) Established players don't want change because change costs money, and regulators aren't motivated to make changes either.

What we see is that unregulated industries (say, dog-walking on demand) can quickly adopt the new technology, while regulated ones like car rental have trouble.

Car rental should be much better with smartphones. I should be able to get a car brought to the airport in front of baggage claim. The fact that I have to schlep my luggage on shuttle buses to a rental area is an artifact of a business model that no longer makes sense. But if we wait for the incumbents to do it, it could take any amount of time.
I’d say it’s more like defense is frowned upon ever since the Lebron euroflop era began. No need to post up when you can just bull rush the rim and get and an and-one every play.
Oh sure, but if we're going to get at the big problems in the US criminal justice system, I think there's dozens of broad, general problems (living conditions, privatization of a "public good" service, general focus on punishment vs behavioral reform, etc) that would do better at addressing the issues for the most people involved.

Also, as I was previously trying to state, I feel that we should address this issue by generally changing/lowering sentences. If we can be compassionate towards woman convicts, why not men?

Nope. That was Nest. Or, at least, Nest came out with it a year before T&N. But they also failed to get a mention in the article.

It doesn’t need to be directly reciprocal. You could have a system where having your paper peer reviewed costs X tokens, and you earn tokens by peer reviewing other papers that don’t have citation links to yours. Or you buy tokens with cash which sustains a fund for external reviewers. Or other people can transfer their tokens to you.

Would that still have problems?
You are assuming an iphone assembled in the US would be assembled manually. However cost of labor means Apple is likely to design robots to assemble the iPhone instead. The initial investment is higher, but it is probable that once Apple does this assembling the phone in the US and exporting to China is cheaper than assembling in China for sale in China (assuming no tarries importing China).

Note that Apple is not required to create robots to build in the US. It is an option they have, but there are other options as well. I would expect Apple to be smart enough to consider all options. The obvious alternatives to consider are move the factory to some other country; or have consumers vote against the tariff by showing how much cheaper the iPhone is elsewhere; there are probably more options I haven't thought of.
From the point of view of upper management in a large enterprise, paying a third party with whom they have an SLA and someone to sue for infrastructure which may go down vs. paying their own staff to build and maintain the infrastructure that may go down often either isn't a difference in risk or, actually, the former seems to be better-managed risk. It's the same reason they often prefer to buy support contracts even for OSS rather than supporting it internally. Part of the analysis that probably gets overlooked from the outside is that employees aren't just a predictable cost they also are a risk.

Lately I've been thinking about economics from an ecology perspective. I think the "other side" of the problem is consolidation and deregulation of the banking industry.

Stagnating markets look like farms, clear-cut native ecosystems replaced with massive monocultures that actively suppress competition using artificial techniques. Building a farm is a gamble. It requires identifying a good crop, large up-front investment in clear-cutting, and ongoing investments in regulating competition. Everything looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer... well, big banks naturally take this path because they have lots of money and connections to political power.

An innovative market is like a jungle, diverse competition of many specialized organisms for innumerable niches... when one species fails, another immediately takes it's place.

Local banks invest in smaller businesses with low-overall risk and consistent ROI. These banks work with the marketplace. They are analogous to fungi in forest ecosystems, which have symbiotic relationships with the trees that serve as the forest's foundation ([1])... a jungle market, with sustainable innovative competition, emerges from networks of small local banks.

We must rigorously defend competition in the banking industry because it shapes the rest of the economy.

Not only are half medications useless to harmful, most of the time side effects aren't ever disclosed. I'm still bitter about this due to being prescribed medication I would have never had taken if the potential side effects we're disclosed.
Anybody who has used node.js for more than 10 minutes knows that the callback style makes code completely unreadable. Unreadable code is a breeding ground for bugs.

Back in 2009, that was an acceptable trade-off, because there were advantages to JavaScript, such as sharing code between client and server.

Now we have promises and we don't have to put up with callbacks anymore (eventually!). FWIW async/await is the syntax, and promises are the runtime, they are not competing features.
i'm not posting a "random link" to prove you wrong. I googled around and saw a few sources all of which seem to agree on current market share, which made me genuinely confused by your comment.
It felt like somebody on very high level decided to have unified experience for both tablets and desktops. Then those people who told this is impossible to do (well) in given timeframe were ignored. Windows 8 was what they managed to scrape together before running out of time. Delay was not an option as the tablet hardware launch was depending on the OS.
You seem to assume a large portion of users are software engineers or tech people. You may consider a 16GB ‘bare minimum’, but not everyone needs that - nor can even afford that (or a laptop more than, say, new or used for $750).

Re:open-access? Perhaps. I should note that this area is not my expertise. However, what to do when the grant runs out?

Even so most of our revenue comes from the subscription. A grant may pay for hosting, but what about the time of the developers. Or those working on the publication side. We are already on a near skeleton crew. Especially compared to what we had here in the 1940-80s.
nice! would have loved a little more detail in your conclusions section, but it's neat to see how my basketball intuition matches/mismatches your data.

one analysis that would be cool is an effectiveness chart of the mix of shots for each team/game. i suspect made percentage is correlated to the mix of shots (3's vs. layups vs. mid-range for example).

if you're a guard-heavy 3 shooting team, then defenders can adjust to gaurding the 3 to force lower-effectiveness mid-range shots. the question is whether that's an effective strategy, because at some point, the defense will have to start gaurding for the drive too, which loosens up the 3's again.
