Even as CEO, accepting outside capital makes you an employee of the investors. If your new idea requires even more capital than your current, couldn't you end up in a similar situation, with even more strings attached?
Nope! That's what Go does under the hood... and then eliminates keywords like await/yield and promises, because they're always implicitly there.
The article is about an organization called Californians for Consumer Privacy. They use Google and Facebook trackers. The key quote is this:

“The irony of criticizing Facebook and Google whilst using their services is not lost on us, but this gets back to our rationale for the initiative: Californians should be able to use these services and be secure that their personal information is not being sold. Right now this is not possible,...We end up with this Faustian bargain,”

Which doesn't really ring true. To me it sounds like the founder doesn't have a technical background, probably contracted out development of the site, and just went with "whatever they normally do". Because... come on... it's not that hard to get stats on users without passing the info over to Google/Facebook. Certainly not hard to get enough stats to run an effective campaign.

A large part of this problem is Kubernetes' decision to do some really fucked up things with iptables to avoid implementing a load balancing service (be it a proxy or intelligent DNS).

From an ops point of view, this creates a nearly opaque wall you get to run up against when troubleshooting issues; a completely unnecessary wall.
I have a friend that started at 44 and started dirt jumping at 48. He did his first no footers at 50! Now that I’m well into my 40s, it gives me hope that I can still progress.
Technical ignorance is not leadership
I don't like that idea, or the whole atheism movement - it's like they turned a religion out of not believing, reading Dawkins instead of the bible.

What do those churches do / talk about anyway? If it's people going on about why / how they don't believe, it's not for me. Or is it more like a humanistic church?
If there is one thing I've learned, it's this. It goes past money too, the same applies for open source software libraries, language choice, and even "design patterns" that developers use.

Also applies to people. Your hireability and salary are both mostly related to how well you market yourself. Marketing is everything.
Funny you mention this. I skated in HS and college and while I have always owned a skateboard, I tend to go longer and longer between sessions as a 40-something. For me it's the decline in my explosiveness, some weight gain, and now chronic injuries that hold me back. I mean, if I throw myself off of 10 stairs today, I expect to be hospitalized. I have priorities in my life that don't allow me to sacrifice my physical wellbeing with the insouciance that I used to.

So I wonder if starting in your 40s is better because you never knew what your body was capable of in your teens and early 20s, so that depression doesn't kick in.
UI is everything.

My purchase of <$2 apps in the Google Play store went up tremendously when I could do it with just a fingerprint read instead of a full password entry.

The amount of money I spend with Amazon's one-swipe checkout is obnoxious.

MMT is extreme to the other end. Critics (most of them mainstream Keynesian) say that it oversimplifies Keynesian model. Usually simple theories that are internally consistent miss some variables.

Basic observation: Government that issues debt (or money) in it's own currency can't go bankrupt. This is essentially correct and it even works in practice. Hyperinflation is a problem only if you have to pay foreign debt in foreign currency.

Where MMT differs from mainstream is that in their model this ability can be exploited freely. The fiscal-monetary conflict goes away. They also assume that the only feedback loop goes trough taxation–taxation is seen as the tool reducing the money supply. Other ways money creation affects the economy don't exist or don't matter.
It covers very little of how Ford learned the process.

It mostly covers Takt time, with only a few paragraphs about its application at Ford's Willow Run facility.

Even then, it was mostly a description of the breakdown of some of the operations.

Some questions which I left with, unanswered, were:

1) how did Ford/Sorensen learn about Takt time? What method was used previously?

The given citation to http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_liberator_produ... says "Ford attempted to apply automotive mass production methods to the production of heavy bombers. However this was a complex process and early progress was very slow." so was Takt time already in place in Ford automotive plants?

2) what problems did they have putting it into place?

That is, if it took years to get right, then it can't be simply a matter of breaking things down into time blocks, with a buffer factor, and letting it go.

3) If the method comes from Germany, and "By monitoring and setting guidelines for this single figure, Ford (and company) was able to build a facility which could produce the same as half of the entire German aircraft industry.", then why wasn't Germany using Takt time for the same production improvements?
Believe it or not, the vast majority of abuse of this sort happens to members of minority groups due primarily to their existence as part of said group. Shock, horror, etc.

And do you know what? You're protected by the same code of conduct anyway, even if you do suffer that by some fluke. The Rust Code of Conduct has one line which states "We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all", followed by a listing of example characteristics under which people are commonly discriminated against - the basic assumption being that a person who isn't discriminated against doesn't need to be told that they're welcome, they already know that they are, the same as they don't need to be told that they're welcome before they apply to university or pop into their local bar or decide to rent a place in a "nice" neighbourhood or decide to take a midnight stroll. Later, there's a reference to a list of actions which are commonly considered "harassment", which includes things like "deliberate intimidation, stalking or following", which apply to anybody. Are you a man being sexually harassed by a man, woman, or non-binary person? That's included too, under "unwelcome sexual attention"!

On Linux, nonblocking IO has not always been great, so under the covers Go often translates calls to actually schedule blocking work on a threadpool somewhere, but from the perspective of the programmer, everything is implicitly using await/yield and promises.
Chrome is now starting to block the worst ad offenders but googles own ads (While not very obnoxious) are still out of line in terms of privacy abuse.
Yes totally agree, good software evolves to be that way. It's never perfect from day 1. On day 1 you don't ecen know what users want because you have no users to tell you what is required.
I've noticed that too, is it only a Firefox thing? It's very annoying.
It's worse than that, if you read more comments, they're actively breaking Firefox (reader mode, etc). It's not the IE era of benign neglect.

Some of the comments are helpful in building in a better business case, such as this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/8hha0r/is_it_worth_... . In summary /u/wedragon says that users have multiple environments and even multiple browsers. Damaging or disabling Firefox on the desktop may lose the profitable mobile side where the user may have Safari or Chrome.

Oh dear, please don’t infer any disrespect. I’m sure she is adding much more value than the dog, if for no other reason than you are forced to articulate things more cogently.

I suspect it can work in different ways based on the experience/knowledge of the problem solving partner. Maybe your wife or an expert forces more precise thinking, maybe the dog for some people could create a more uninhibited environment, where we can share “dumb” thoughts we wouldn’t want to speak to a person yet could still lead down a productive path.

I hope she appreciates her contribution. Seriously listening to someone is a great gift to give in so many contexts.

This is more or less what Calico does:

https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.1/introduction/

http://leebriggs.co.uk/blog/2017/02/18/kubernetes-networking...

In a Calico setup, every container (or VM - they use the term "workload" to abstract over the two) has an IP address, and talks to other containers in the usual way. AIUI, Calico does a couple of things to make that work at Cloud Scale (tm): it pushes firewall rules into the kernel, to make sure each container can only communicate with the other containers it's supposed to, and it propagates routes around, so each host knows where to send packets destined for containers on other hosts.

The routing bit is important because Calico is designed to run as a flat IP space on top of a non-flat ethernet space, ie one where the access switches are connected by routers rather than more switches. That's useful because scaling a flat ethernet network up to a huge size is apparently hard (network engineers start telling horror stories about Spanning Tree Protocol etc).

Calico still has more moving parts than i'm personally comfortable with, but it seems broadly sensible.
Yes, it's worth "supporting" Firefox. Just like it's worth it to "support" a standards compatible web browser. I swear we're going backwards in time to IE6 days when everyone built for just one browser and forgot that others existed.

Do you really want Google to dictate how the web works? I don't. When Microsoft did this we lost _years_ of meaningful improvements and just recently got the ability to vertically center in CSS.
Nice! I've been thinking about doing this kind of thing for a while. I have long experimented with doing map reduce style work outside of things like Hadoop and gotten much better results due to being able to tune for different things much more quickly.
In general, stamina (social, mental and physical) is like a muscle. The more you train it, the better shape it gets in and the more work it can do before it's exhausted. Start with something small like reading a book in a coffee shop after work, or meeting a friend for dinner and a beer. Slowly do more over time.

Just like you wouldn't go to a gym and deadlift 300lbs cold, you're not going to get off work and run a social club in your free time - but if you put in the consistent work, you can absolutely get there.
The nature of the internet makes online tracking and the minimization of user privacy a natural progression of where things inevitably head. We do, for the most part, live in a capitalistic world. The irony of a privacy advocacy group using the exact tech they’re supposed to advocate against reminds me of the argument for transparency: “Works, but only for the other guy please.”
Well phrased. Will just add at (2)...

When I was a kid in the 90's I had the same experience. My family had friends that would just stop by and they would entertain them for an hour or two just to catch up. I think our "connectedness" killed this off - now we see a status update and that fills us in on the things that we would have learned from that conversation, with zero effort. The problem is that the status update doesn't build an actual human relationship. But it isn't just social networks, even things like SMS have killed off more meaningful connections, over the phone. Most people have chosen quantity over quality.

To be fair, Gates is applying economies of scale to donations. He is using theanthropy at industrial scales to solve HUGE problems. They have goals like eliminating WHOLE diseases from parts of the world... and it seems like they're getting results.

If you have a large fortune, you could build the organization to try and invest it for benefits. Many do, and if you have a rare cause... there's good value in it. But the alternative is you could give it to gates, and be pretty well assured it will be leveraged for amazing results.

I wonder if this is to protect ip. I know of one self-driving startup in which the founder recently had his wife get an internship with Tesla's self-driving team. I'm sure there is a big risk of ip theft or just learning other things that can give a competitive advantage.
If we are going to invoke the history of human knowledge, we should note that historically, the idea being compared to the great revolutions in knowledge almost never measures up.
I honestly wonder if this is real, or the whole story.

How many websites are actually doing things that require a meaningful amount of extra effort to support Firefox if it already works in Chrome/Safari?

For most websites, cross-browser testing is almost an afterthought these days.

Why can't we have content based ads that are non-intrusive like television and old print media? Yeah they still interject in the middle of content, but not with the same level of deceit as what some ads and sponsored links do on web media.

I would disable my adblocker for sites that have ad campaigns not based on "gross obnoxiousness", privacy intrusions, and disregard for if an advertising party is serving up malware. I even miss advertising because I'm not exposed to things I might otherwise be interested in, but I won't accept it in the current form.

I use Packer and Terraform extensively for my consulting company. I appreciate the work on trying to make Terraform/Packer testable, but I wish this tool was Golang agnostic and written in HCL or a markup language.

The biggest concern with Terraform is that small changes (ex: changing Terraform variable names) often causes rebuilds of large chunks of resources, which when in production is scary and sometimes cannot be applied without downtime. Point being, not sure testing (expected results) is the core problem. The problem is confidence destroying and editing resources will not produce unexpected downtime (modifying ELB's, RDS, IAM, or security group's) are examples.

Your argument seems to be that everything is OK because things always change and conditions have been much more extreme in the distant past. And other people are arguing that these sorts of extreme changes may have very real consequences that can dramatically effect human civilization and stability and we're doing very little to prepare or blunt the blows.
You got those mixed up. If you're acting like you're going to live forever you take less risks (because you have forever to lose). If you're acting like you're not going to live forever, you can take more risks, you have little to lose.
> in such a supply-limited market there doesn't seem to be any shortage of new customers.

The article (can't quote because paywall) specifically mentioned the highly competitive nature of the space as making it difficult for new entrants. Higher startup costs were specifically mentioned but I imagine that extends to marketing/customer mind share.

You seem to be describing a more collegiate atmosphere than the article does around competition. Do you think this is because of your position as a more established player or do you think the article overemphasized that (or quoted someone who wanted that message to get out there)?

But paydays are taking huge risks in funding them, therefore their higher fees as insurance.

Not to be dismissive, but this sounds like he's trolling. One thing is not actively supporting one browser because «it's at the bottom of the list» and another thing is actively trying to detect it.

Also I don't think he understands what obfuscated JS means, and is he seriously talking about having a 10MB JS file? Just for a major publisher? For comparison: NYT's home page is 1.6MB, the whole document. The thing that totally gives it's trolling away is the 10 years «safe thing».
