> That's a little harsh, no?

I don't think it's harsh. If anything it's falling for the author's narrative.

The author was clearly there solely to write a hatchet job on the SV startup culture. The stuff about getting rich is just there to make him sound a bit less parasitical.

I'm sure some of what he says is valid but the dystopia is just as fake as the idea that SV is paved with gold.

I'd go further and, given these kinds of articles usually follow a template, it's quite interesting what he didn't say. Usually the author will find people who are disillusioned/downtrodden to interview i.e. show the rotten underbelly.

It's noticeable that the only negative commentary came from a barman and a musician, and they were of the basic change is bad variety. As a consequence, he's stuck with painting everyone as a witless man-child.

So either he's an incompetent journalist or he didn't find a rotten underbelly. As I've never been to SV, I can't comment on which it is but I can be pretty confident that this article won't help me find out.
Sadly I never setup any of those, usually only admin@ and then move on. To be fair I usually list one of the available emails on my sites where it makes sense, or provide some way of contacting me directly. I will definitely create those and forward them to admin@ from now on though. But the issue still remains as others said, now you can claim you never got an email.
Maybe I'm just unable to look at the right places, but where is the source code repository?
Ok, makes sense now, thanks!
> The proper conclusion may be that intellectual bubbles are a useful means of moving forward.

Read the last sentence. Unless I misinterpret this grossly, the author is making fun of demands for "ideological diversity", i.e. lack of conservative/Republican mindshare, a la maybe Jonathan Haidt.
Supposing that the book's claims are accurate, it would provide some Bayesian justification for police profiling at traffic stops, choosing whom to approach at a bar, etc.

Kind of stupid without a definition of ideological diversity.

Cowen uses "ideological diversity" as a stand-in for Democratic/Republican balance. Which is one kind of diversity, and you would likely find the most balanced distribution of opinion on such questions as "is Mueller biased against Trump?" and "is Paul Ryan's tax plan good?" in the cities mentioned.

But here's a couple other questions that are likely more balanced in e.g. San Francisco than the cities mentioned: Are microstate monarchies the ideal form of government? Did the Constitution establish white supremacy? Should Keystone XL be blocked? Does trans ideology unnecessarily essentialize binary genders? Should we establish a generous universal basic income? Will blockchains lead to utopia on Earth? Should blockchain enthusiasts be sent to the gulag already?

Cowen enjoys occasionally getting under his elite coastal readership's skin, but this is pretty weak tea.

Counterintuitive as it may seem, this startup may be doing things right. If user growth is causing load issues, that means users like the product, and that the company is growing fast, which is the high bit of predicting whether a startup will succeed.

A startup with a product users love but creaking infrastructure is better off than one with excellent infrastructure and a product that's a dog.

Startups with both a product users love and excellent infrastructure? A lot rarer than you might think, especially at this stage.

Quite how that qualifies him to write a book on evolutionary psychology is anybody's guess. I'd give his claims about as much credence as your racist uncle forwarding "studies" regarding the supposed tendencies of his least favourite ethnic groups.

Not only that, Google apparently has agreements with mobile network operators to ensure that their long-lived connections don't get closed after a few seconds or minutes of inactivity. Some mobile ISPs close idle connections after as little as ten seconds, so unless you're in a position to negotiate with just about every major mobile network operator worldwide, you can't really offer the same level of service.
This reminds me of a fun bit of soft sci-fi that I liked in the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld: the “Rusties” (pre-apocalyptic) society was taken down in part by a bacterium that digested gasoline and other petroleum products into some unspecified volatile substance that would then explode and destroy vehicles, also spreading the organism further.
> The free and opened web presents a challenge to Apple's app business.

The free and opened [sic] web is BS. The "web" was always free and open, if you had worthy and user-respecting stuff to publish. Autoplaying video and other similar features are just plain evil. And if web apps are second class citizens on iOS, that's really a nice thing to hear, IMnsHO, because they are second class citizens on the WWW itself. They are either castrated versions of the native applications they are pretending to be, or overtly bloated thin clients (i.e. glorified <form>s) anyways. There has been one web app that I've used and liked: the old Gmail app.

The requirements of the platform are quite clear, and the service in return is quite desirable (apps being reviewed before publishing, user-centric permissions scheme, etc.) and even though I don't own an iOS device ATM, it sounds quite desirable to me, at least over Android where there is a hundred million billion versions of the OS out there and nobody bothers sending update my way so that I can has some granular control over what I allow the apps do. If you don't like it, don't take it. And it's nothing like IE because nobody has to use iPhones whereas Microsoft had put its OS and its browser on almost every computer out there, and I bet older IE browsers still have more market share than the sum of devices online with Safari installed. They are just a little island of the technosphere that want to get what they paid for, and enjoy the web like it was meant to be, possibly; and I'm just like them with my Qutebrowser where I have to disable JS and maintain a whitelist because the free and open web. Gosh.

Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment.

You wouldn't need to customize anything, it would look good at all tab widths and people who prefer 2 space sized indents would be able to use that in their editors.

Actually, it could be even better, we could use tabs for aligning to tables too if editors supported elastic tabstops [0]. Unfortunately, the only ones that do don't support other essential features like saving when they lose focus.

Please note that i disagree with how the example aligns function params. The space/tab there looks bad and params should be aligned with spaces using a formatting tool (which every sane language should have).

Or, y'know, scratch that, why don't we commit the AST (enhanced to include comments and other hints like blank lines) to git and let everyone use their formatting.

Restoring neuroplasticity is a necessity for true immortality, so I'm not sure it will be much of an issue to be honest.
Only works if people use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment which I've never seen anybody maintain successfully on a big project. The code the parent linked is not indentation, it's alignment so it should be formatted using spaces regardless otherwise it breaks that way. If you have to impose tab width to have proper readability then what's the point? Try hacking the linux kernel with tabs != 8 spaces and see how long you last before all the broken alignment drives you crazy.

Furthermore if your coding style imposes some kind of width restriction you also have to commit to a certain tab width anyway.

Beyond that if you really value configurability it's a bit odd to limit yourself to "I want to configure tab width". How about bracket positions, spacing between operators, variable names etc... ? All these seems are arguably more important for readability and code understanding than indentation. Ideally programming languages would be stored as abstract syntax trees that you can display however you like but we're still using dumb all ASCII text files.

In theory tabs are mildly superior to spaces, pragmatically it's spaces all day every day as far as I'm concerned.
Conway’s law doesn’t directly claim anything about the quality or effectiveness of the resulting system, but I suspect a corollary would also apply: that the effectiveness of a system is limited by the effectiveness of the communication structure of the organization that develops it.

Out of curiosity, have you considered using a workflow management system such as AWS Step Functions [1] instead of a set of queues? If so, what made you decide to go with queues?

Workflow engines neatly solve a lot of the challenges you mention in the article essentially for free:

* Model your problem as a directed graph of (small) dependent operations. Adding new steps does not require adding new queues, just new code.

* let the workflow engine manage the state of your transactions (the important, strongly consistent part) and just focus on implementing the logic. Scale horizontally by adding more worker nodes.

* get free error handling tools, such as automatic re-tries on failed steps, support for special error handling steps, and metrics you can alarm on (e.g. number of open workflows, number of errored workflows, etc.)

* get a free dashboard where you can look up the state of a given transaction, look at error messages, (mass) re-drive failed transactions (e.g. after an outage or after having fixed a bug), etc.

I sincerely ask the question: Is it possible to evaluate whether freedom has expanded since 1995? It seems like they controlled much, much more when not everyone had their Youtube channel. Now it’s possible to do your own research on, for example, real M/F wage difference, or get informed about Trump news despite MSM. Not ideal, but better than the 90’s.
Cantor's Attic
The point of diversity of opinion is that you have a challenge against the ideas of yourself and of others. If everybody around you agrees with what you say then you may never be thoughtful about your positions and can get away with being wrong.

In academia a paper is written by a human who desperately wants to be right and publish it (because they are self interested of course) and the peer review process is there to challenge the methodology so that the truth can emerge.

It's like if you had two sets of scientists who had opposing viewpoints but could only use objective measure to justify their own side, when placed in opposition to one another their biases will more likely produce a truth.

It's also important to note that being able to analyze data and have knowledge of statistics is not enough. For a hypothetical example if you are a modern American progressive you might have a set of opinions which you identify with like a raised minimum wage, progressive tax, etc. You really want to be consistent in your beliefs so you seek out data which CAN justify your position. Like that minimum wage does not reduce employment or something. You search for any evidence that justifies it naturally and maybe do some shallow research on the opposition but deep down you know what side you are on. You have used data and statistics to justify your positions, but that is not enough to say whether you are actually right or not.

On the other hand, the anti vaxxer which try to figure out if they MUST reject that vaccines cause autism and maybe they find one thing that says there is a reason to doubt and that is sufficient.

In each case exposure to a formidable argument from the opposite side can really challenge their opinion. (Not that minimum wage is as simple as vaccines)

If you have hard evidence against something like anti vaxers then you can do away with their argument scientifically, but if you characterize all conservatives/liberals in that way, they you are lacking exposure to real, formidable arguments against your own positions. Because there are certain issues where both sides have objective measure which justify their own side.

Hyperloop is near vacuum, not vacuum.

When assessing Musk's success, note that Tesla has singlehandedly pushed the entire auto industry towards electric vehicles. Before Tesla, electric vehicles were funny experimental things for hipsters. Very few people bought electric cars, and when they did it was usually only as a second car that could drive 100 miles around town. Virtually no major manufacturer were planning on changing that.

After Model 3, all major car manufacturers are changing their product development and production lines to make electric vehicles. It's now clear to everybody involved that in a number of years, it will only, or almost only, be electric vehicles.

Even if Tesla were to end up being a company that only sells a few hundred thousands cars per year, their impact will have been several orders of magnitude bigger. At the end of the next decade, tens of millions of electric cars will be produced every year and Tesla is the company that not only showed the way but forced an entire industry to go in that direction.

Now, why on Earth would Musk not be interested in promoting mass transit? Tesla is unlikely to produce 50 million cars yearly anyways, and - so far - electric vehicles are more expensive than ordinary cars and not much more suitable for dense city traffic than ordinary cars (although the cost is going down and although self-driving capabilities may change that a bit). But for many years to come, it's unlikely that the Boring Company or the Hyperloop is going to cannibalize on Tesla's market.
