I didn't make the comment you've replied to but in my opinion, it's less about the specifics of the scenario and more about providing food for thought about _why_ you're working with the door open or closed and in what circumstances you make those choices. If you do one or the other particularly often out of habit, it's helpful to think about why and adjust your habits if necessary.
You have a bunch of servers with kubernetes software installed on all of them. 1 of them is master, the rest are workers. You talk to Master through API and it talks to workers with SSH.

You send the Master some YAML files that list what containers you want running, how many, and lots of optional details. Master makes it happen so it matches what you said should be running.

Master also constantly checks everything so it matches what you asked for, even if something changes like a server failing. That's it.
>"“Last week showed how much more work we need to do to enforce our policies and help people understand how Facebook works and the choices they have over their data,” Facebook Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan and Deputy General Counsel Ashlie Beringer wrote.

Facebook Chief Privacy Officer. Now there's a job title.

Seriously what does a Chief Privacy Officer at FB do? What are the responsibilities of a Privacy Officer at a company whose entire existence is predicated on their users having no privacy? Here's 15 years worth of their boss's views on privacy:

I've recently set up 1Password for my parents and it works fine. The applications are still a little too complicated for them though, the gap between a physical notebook containing passwords and 1Password is large. Thankfully the UX on iPhone/iPad with TouchID is simple enough.

The solution to that is to use memes and bad grammar. I am not kidding. Keep your messages really brief and have a community of people that talk in a very similar fashion to one-another.
But can you brute force my vault using similar techniques as just brute forcing a stolen DB of hashed passwords... in other words, if your vault password is < 6 characters are you screwed? Or are the vault passwords more 'battle hardened'
This is such a great, simple, almost obvious idea. This type of ideas is getting more and more rare, so it is great to see one popping here and there.

The PC was in some sense doomed to win. It is the natural successor of the S-100 bus. Commodore people have a hardon for "custom chips", exotic proprietary hardware soldered onto the mainboard in a special snowflake of holistic system design but what the PC provided was an open backplane allowing compatible systems to be built and integrated using parts from a variety of vendors. This gave the PC agility that even the best-managed company in the world couldn't match. It wasn't IBM's superior management that put the PC over the top, it was the combined forces of Dell, HP, Gateway, Tandy, and all the little peripheral vendors, to say nothing of Taiwanese white-box builders.

And in addition to the 8088MPH demo mentioned downthread, MDA graphical demos should in principle be possible by rapidly changing character RAM as the beam passes by. This is a trick I saw to generate graphics on another text-only monochrome machine, from Commodore: the PET.
> If a person hit the woman it would not have been homicide or manslaughter even if we didn't know the driver was on their phone.

That's because the bar for vehicular manslaughter is incredibly high. There is a huge range of shitty road behaviour that is not illegal, but you should never do, for the sake of yourself and other people.

Driving faster then you can see is one of those behaviors.
Hitting someone because you had legal right of way is another. Right of way is good and all, but your first job as a driver is to avoid crashes. Right of way is just a set of guidelines for avoiding crashes... And a way to assign legal blame when one happens.

When I sea kayak, I have right of way against large boats in some situations. I'd be a complete, and dead idiot if I were to exercise my legal right to stay on course.
> It’s no small thing to suggest that people should view the legal obligations of their governments with skepticism.

It is a huge thing which should always be on people's mind. Government is the only player on the market who literally owns the rules of the game and can bend or completely change them in their benefit. Which means every promise from them should be viewed with extreme suspicion, as they are both the ones promising it and the ones charged with enforcing the promise, which means it is much easier for them to renege on the promise.

> I have a hard time pinning that on the guy doing largely unskilled work for the last 30 years of his life.

Government employees are not "largely unskilled work", and they are surely not voting against the current setup, as far as I can see. If they did, we could talk about something that is done to them against their will. Right now they are major part of the fraud being perpetuated. They are not some passive victim of some nefarious force, they are active and willing participants of the scheme. Try to cut those benefits or switch them to defined contribution or make them contribute enough to cover the deficit - and see how vocal they'd get.

I agree. The two skill sets - management and technical ability - rarely overlap strongly, and even when they do, the person is usually comparatively better at one or the other where they're better off focusing - and I mean comparatively with reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage .

When someone is strong at making technical decisions, they'll also want to own the delivery of the most technically challenging bits - the bits they'd be best at. That either crowds out growth in the team (if they do it), or they swallow their ego and deliver something they're not fully happy with (if they delegate it), which isn't a whole lot of fun either.

Hat off to you sir. I learned programming on the Vic20 (my first computer) and I still cannot surpass the level of excitement it got me then. I didn't dream to squeeze the hardware back then, I just accepted it and used a tiny amount of it. What I see done now is nothing short of amazing. If these talents of optimisations would apply to modern hardware, we wouldn't need modern hardware.
And of course, 30 Rock demonstrates this in the episode where the characters brainstorm names for a pocket-sized microwave. Everyone agrees that "BiteNuker" is the perfect name... until somebody points out that it's vulgar in both French and Dutch.

For reference, neuker is Dutch for "fucker".

I had a similar reaction. It strikes me a bit as part of the rampant survivorship bias that happens all the time in contemporary society. As in, I worked hard and things worked out, therefore if you work hard things will work out, and if you didn't, you weren't doing something valuable or working hard enough.

I don't know that I disagree with the author so much about social media platforms like Facebook per se, but I disagree with some implicit premise they're making.

The reason why things like blogs and social media presence are advertised so much is precisely because "value" really means something like perceived value, which depends on things like awareness. That is, it's not really so much whether or not what you do has value, its whether or not people are aware of you and perceive it as having value. So to get eyeball time, you need to put yourself out there.

I'm also a tenured professor, and what I increasingly see is popularity driving things, rather than value. That is, the rigor of academic work seems less and less important than the splashiness of it. The colleagues I know whose careers have taken off have done so precisely because they manipulate the social aspect of it--they're politicians more than scientists or mathematicians.

In this regard, there seems to be something disingenuous and dangerous about the general sentiment being expressed. To me, it generally seems to be dismissing the sociopolitical aspect of how we reward work, sweeping it under the rug, which will only worsen our problems.

When I worked at BT a few years ago one of the only rules was don't post on uk.telecom :-) and I assume alt.2600 (SD would have a fit as would the alt.2600 users)

Though at one time I was going to post on behalf of my employer (the press office asked me) on alt.2600 about the MET Police getting VMB'd - but our internal security vetoed that :-(
Author's remarks are somewhat valid in that certain language formulates certain feelings and general emotional state in people (which is a part of how and why fiction works). Having "easy" and "just" shattered when confronted with reality and not its description by the professionals "on the inside", generates strongrer negative response that it would otherwise.

However, article's argumentation and suggestions on improving the situation make me think that author does not fully realize this or fails to state the problem clearly. Issue lies with the words used and not their meaning or omitting explanations for things that are assumed to be understood by target audience.
>If you are trying to be anonymous you really should try harder, it took me less than a minute to get your home address.

I agree. The most important question for me when looking at a position is whether the team has a lead or manager, if they have a lead it is a bad sign. They are too busy coding to manage, they are territorial and are responsible for the all the important, business critical, high profile pieces.

I wish leads did veto more - often I am "delegated" a task, spend a week on it, then they look at it and tell me to it a different way - a way they could have told me to do at the beginning of the week and not have wasted my time. So then I spend another week re-doing it to the way they want.

I should note this dynamic is at play not just for programmers, but for devops and other groups as well.
> To detect data from your torrent client we provide a magnet link to a fake file. The magnet contains an http url of a controlled by us tracker which archives the information coming from the torrent client.

That’s pretty clever. Alternatively they could have a unique file of garbage and have some seeders for it and then when someone connects it would also be the same person. But the tracker solution is less work and probably almost entirely as good.

Honestly, this should never be allowed.

It’s archaeology-hostile. It pisses me off to no end when I am searching for information on reddit and come across people replying to deleted posts by some paranoid user who wishes comments were more ephemeral like Snapchat.

This is what the next dark age of mankind will be like, people from the future looking for historical information and finding nothing but deleted or decayed data.

Here’s a tip: if you don’t want something to be up for all time, don’t even bother posting it. Keep it to your self. There are a lot of damning things and incidents that could end people’s careers and reputations that I’ve never posted about because I do not want the permanent liability.

I feel like the art of staying anonymous has been lost on people. It’s not that hard.

The GDPR isn’t a magic shield though. It’s designed to regulate privacy data, which is tied to European citizens, in systems designed to keep such data.

HN isn’t such a system because HN isn’t build to keep any privacy information. It’ll be interesting to see how stuff like chosing your real name as a username plays out in the courts, but as it stands right now, HN won’t have to delete your data because of the GDPR.

SCOTUS has more or less ruled that the Bill of Rights applies to unincorporated territories (and even extraterritorial jurisdiction, as Bush Jr. found out).

One complication is that, as the Declaration of Independence forcefully points out, the fundamental issue is the right of people to alter their government if they view it as destructive to inalienable, natural rights--and most of the people in these territories actually like the status quo political situation (cf. the several Puerto Rico status referendums which generally all signify a plurality preference for status quo, even if the legal viability of the status quo is questionable).

I stay in Chicago because I have a very high quality of life here. Higher than I could get in many other places.

Every single person that I work with that complains about taxes and money lives in the suburbs. It's no wonder, of course. Property taxes in many Chicago suburbs are double or even triple than those inside the actual city of Chicago. Many of these people once lived in Chicago, but had kids and then left for a house with a yard in some suburb with good schools and high taxes. "It's cheaper than private school" is how they justify it. They buy a second car and drive it to the train station, paying a monthly parking fee in addition to their monthly train ticket.

I ride a bicycle to and from work, except when it is too wet or slippery to be safe. I take the bus when that happens. I get home from work and am spending time with my family before the commuter train leaves the station with my suburban colleagues on board. Within a 20 minute walk, we have 5 different parks to choose from. We have some of the best museums and cultural attractions in the world available to us. These places offer free workshops and learning events for children and are required by law to offer a minimum number of days per year of free admission for local residents.

I live in a high-rise building filled with a wide variety of people of all different skin tones. Immigrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America and even Africa. Same sex couples. Interracial couples. Muslims, Catholics and Evangelicals. This has been what my children know as normal and have for their entire lives.

Perhaps you may want to consider that leaving a place like Chicago is the ethically questionable decision, especially if you are concerned about the thought processes, viewpoints, and experiences that are required to make neocolonialism and war seem like good ideas.

Stress is more a function of the culture of the company you are working for and can be influenced by your manager and direct coworkers but not by much. Culture is like the weather and is created by the very top level executives.

As far as the legend of the 10x or 100x developer, technically it does exist in the sense that the smart lead will not even entertain time wasting efforts, so to calculate the value of that you could say is infinite x.

I’m skeptical however that you can transfer your extraordinary abilities to your team members. The most brilliant productive people I cant imagine they can truly transfer that to others. Their ability comes off more like a God given gift, so to speak. Surely they add value individually and add value to each team member by their guidance and mentorship.

The 10x concept though somewhat confuses the truly important question, both to the technical programmer employee and their capitalist business bosses. How much value is really being added and at what cost.

The RFC for getDerivedStateFromProps (https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0006-static...) mentions a few!

• Initializing Flux stores in componentWillMount. It's often unclear whether this is an actual problem or just a potential one (eg if the store or its dependencies change in the future). Because of this uncertainty, it should be avoided.

• Adding event listeners/subscriptions in componentWillMount and removing them in componentWillUnmount. This causes leaks if the initial render is interrupted (or errors) before completion.

• Non-idempotent external function calls during componentWillMount, componentWillUpdate, componentWillReceiveProps, or render (eg registering callbacks that may be invoked multiple times, initializing or configuring shared controllers in such a way as to trigger invariants, etc.)

It's possible. The priority is management first so the team has everything they need. Cover for them, take all the blame, and make them a success. The technical experience is primarily so there is trust and authority when you have to make changes based on technical reasons, something that often gets lost in translation when it's not happening in the same brain.
This would be more like open sourcing Basecamp itself.
Seems very unlikely to me.

Both the founder (Andrew Lee) and the CEO (Ted Kim) are known in the industry, have made their views on encryption and authoritarianism pretty clear in interviews, articles, and even full-page ads in the NYT and WaPo to argue for broadband privacy[0] and encryption.

PIA also seems pretty profitable; they certainly have enough to contribute to various open source projects, join pro-net-neutrality lobbying efforts like Fight For the Future, saved the Linux Journal from death (considered an "extremist forum" by the NSA's XKeyScore), and pay to keep Freenode ticking over (they also do loads of glitzy events for the Korean-American community).

You could argue that all of this is an elaborate hoax of course, but you could do that with anything.
