I think part of the problem is that Docker is the now popular answer to the problem of 'it works on my machine'. Unfortunately 'works on my machine' also involved going to the web site of a particular tool or library and following the steps recommended for quickly trying the tool out, which gives things like curl http://somewebsite.com | sudo bash situation or following the steps in a blog post where someone quickly compiled a bleeding edge version of it, with all the dependencies to build it, on their Ubuntu laptop.
> The stuff which is actually hard, nobody ever asks about. For instance: How do you know when someone is in a bad mood? How do you deal with loneliness? How do you foster camaraderie? How do you achieve urgency? How do you ever get to know people outside of work when you never spend time with them outside of work?

I for one would love to hear more from the Ghost team on how they approach solving these very essential problems - any insight is welcome!

People can pursue legal action for anything they want. They can pursue legal action for not hiring them in the first place.

This isn't something unique to firing someone, it is a normal cost of business.

I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere in here. m0skit0's comment was contrasting sidereal day (23h 56m 4.100s) to the original post concerning a mean solar day (24 hr 0m 0s). rimliu's comment seems to be saying that mean solar day has advantages over apparent solar day (each day has a different number of seconds that average to 24h 0m 0s over a year). I love the equation of time, but it is not related to sidereal time as discussed.

Small correction to m0skit0: wikipedia says the sidereal day is 23h, 56m, 4.0905s to account for the 26,000 year procession of the March equinox.
It is ignorant and defamatory to imply European Freemasonry is in any way comparable to neo-Nazism. Indeed, the Nazis suppressed Freemasonry because it opposed Nazism. It is obvious that the majority of the parent commenter's supposed knowledge about Freemasonry ultimately comes from a long line of anti-Masons who lie about the fraternity because of ideological disagreement with the craft or because the craft makes a convenient scapegoat. The latter is especially prominent in Turkey, which may be relevant here given a post about Turkish orthography in the parent poster's history. If there were any specific allegations to rebut, I'd gladly do so. However, vague allegations are impossible to counter.

The opinion is quite readable. Essentially the judge says that he's only applying that standard (called the Unocal test) on "defensive actions by a target corporation’s board of directors in a takeover context". On the action that didn't fit that profile, despite being potentially harmful to eBay, he deferred to their best judgment.

I'm no lawyer, but the way I read that decision is: do what you think best, just don't purposefully mine the field against one of your shareholders.

Hi

> I answered you at length in an earlier comment[0], but you never replied, so I don't know what your reaction is to it. Let me be more blunt.

Not responding to your comment earlier didn't mean I didn't consider your input valid, I appreciate it a lot and needed a bit more time to form thoughts. With the reposts I am simply trying to gather more opinions.

As my post, the objective is to turn the research into a product. I realize that it's very probabilistic to find such a research idea, although there have been companies that started this way out of a thesis. In my limited view, going for a PhD would give the freedom to work on a _valuable_ problem (== current industry relevant engineering issue) (a big probability factor-in here) rather than blurting out startup ideas and seeing what sticks.

And hence my focus was, _how_ to look for a tentative problem, or how to even start thinking in that direction.

I understand that a PhD is not the only way (or maybe not at all?). And research is tough investment. But it seems like one way to create something...
What should we do?

Twitter offered a base service that was great and they are now constantly removing features (no chronological timeline, no access to polls for 3rd party apps, now no streaming for 3rd party apps). A few days ago on HN we were talking about Mastodon but I don't see it replacing a Twitter as it's a platform, not a single entity that I can use.

The best scenario I can imagine would be to see the teams behind Twitterific and Tweetbot creating a Mastodon server and offering me to switch in the app in the coming months. Twitter is screwing us because we are, as users of those apps, the 1%. And I'm quite sure that the people I follow are also part of the same single percent.

To The Iconfactory and Tapbots: make me pay again, ask me to pay a subscription, I don't care. But screw Twitter, they treat you (and thus us) like garbage, make me switch to something offering me a better experience and that is guaranteed to last. Is posting tweets from my account through your apps still free? Then offer me the possibility to send tweets when I send messages on your new platform + a weekly message to send to my few followers that they should also switch.

Twitter is gonna apparently kill you at some point anyway, letting your users see a stream ordered by a shitty IA and with 1/3 of ads. So please, let's fight instead of slowly dying.

> Any separation is ineffective except along this one particular completely arbitrary dividing line? If that were true we'd still be hunting and gathering and nothing else.

Hardly arbitrary -- hardware is fixed at the time of manufacture. Hardware engineers should be well-acquainted with software concerns and needs, but the years-long feedback cycle and real expenses associated with hardware development creates a natural barrier for work separation, requires different work cadence and much more stringent processes, etc.

This is not to say that a good hardware engineer shouldn't contribute to software and vice-versa, but it is to say that the roles are sufficiently divergent that it makes sense to place them in different segments. That is not the case with anything this side of the operating system, as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, I'd argue that it does apply to stuff like oil.

People say they're concerned. But the actual number of people attempting to zero the amount of oil they use? Much lower than claimed concern.

We don't really know what Koine Greek sounded like but it certainly doesn't sound anything close to modern Greek. Having several years of academic Koine Greek and Classical Greek I am almost able to make out quite a bit of modern Greek. I swear modern Greek and Konie are closer then Shakespeare and modern English.

I transferred two domains from Ghandi to Lunarpages over a decade ago. Somehow, Ghandi's anonymization service was still enabled, and as a result, my domains were blocked a few months ago.

Took about a week for Lunarpages to straighten out.

(BTW, the spam calls started immediately after Lunarpages fixed the problem. It's a great thing that the EU finally twisted ICANN's arm over this issue.)

Sometimes security is annoying, and sometimes security means you don't get to do what you needed to do. An event with hundreds or thousands of people should have rehearsals and spare speaker laptops, but if they don't, your need to present doesn't trump your (or someone else's) employer's cyber security stance.

Show up at a building site without your helmet and hiwiz? Unless there's a spare set around, you're going home. We need to get into the same mindset around cyber security.
I recall a time when a company I had association with lost their main domains due to a failed renewal. In this case it was a long-term employee who left the company that had loads of company bills going to his card. He cancelled the card sometime after he left and the domains were not renewed. I’m not sure where the renewal failure emails were going but probably some unmonitored admin email box.

These were very important domains. Without them, this $1 billion+ company immediately lost all of its ability to generate revenue. It was quite shocking.

The problem was discovered when users started getting the registrar’s landing pages rather than the company website pages. It was fixed relatively quickly once identified but do to DNS propagation took about 48 hours for complete resolution. During the window unrecoverable revenue well into the hundreds of thousands was lost.

It seems to me that a domain renewal is always a risk, even with a highly reliable registrar. A good defense is to limit the renewals for important domains by registering them for as long as possible (10 years). Even then you have a weak spot because your credit card will be expired by then so you should back that up with a calendar reminder a few months prior to renewal to make sure everything is set.
You sound very concerned about a proposal you read about that might happen in 10 or 15 years in a city you don't live in.

That's a question complicated by context, and that context is complicated by printing technologies, costs and economics, literacy rates, general industry and manufacturing, and the general need for such advertising.

Short answer: yes, there was, or rather, the advertising which was carried was of a very different form. Much closer to classifieds than display ads, and often for sale of land, businesses, or other valuable but one-off property. The bulk of revenue came from subscriptions.

As Holt notes, sale of bulk-produced goods dates to about the mid-19th century, at least in the US (it's slightly eaarlier in Britain) with the introduction of mass-produced goods in quantities greater than could be sold in any one local market, and the transport systems (canals, later railroads) to disstribute them. Amongst the first adverts were patent medicines, the viagra spam of the day.

Consider too that literacy was limited, about 25% in England as of 1800, an as low as 5-10% in rural areas or less-developed countries. The primary driver of improved literacy was itself industrialisation and factory work. Some proficiency with basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, if not deep logical or philosophical thought, was required. (A conflict which has dominated public education debate, policy, and battles ever since.)

Press speeds, paper costs, and issue sizes also evolved tremendously through the 19th century. A wooden "wine press" could produce perhaps 120 impressions per hour with a skilled press team, priinting one side at a time, and requiring a day between sides. The result was a four-page folded broadsheet. By 1900, electric-powered, steel-framed, rotary web, offset prosses cranked one million impressions per hour and could produce, if memory serves, a 12-page publication (three sheets, double-sided, folded), linotype-set, but without photographic halftones (that process arrived in the aughts or 1910s).

Pulp paper (and the lumber necessary for it) arrived in the 1830s. Petroleum-based inks would have followed petroleum, found in bulk in 1859 (Drake's well, Titusville, Pennsylvania).

Prior to all of this, newspapers were small in size, usually weekly, limited-circulation, catering mostly to business owners, and expensive. Another form emerged in the late 18th and through the 19th and early 20th centuries of party papers, specifically dedicated to a particular political party, still indicated in names such as the Arizona Republic, originally Republican.

This formula started changing with Benjamin Day's New York Sun, a cheap (1 cent vs. 5), popular, advertising-driven, and sensationalist publication founded in 1833.

There's a large literature on these subjects, addressing many elements, from technical to social, economic, political, cultural, and more. I've mentioned Robert W. McChesney among the media theory witers. Tim Wu, The Attention Merchants, addresses some of this.

I've compiled a "light" bibliography:

One of the reasons I use Namecheap is because I've had good experiences in this realm. I get domain renewal and WhoisGuard notices a month before, a week before and on the day of expiry itself. Namecheap then always keeps expired domains in a grace period status for about two weeks where I can still renew after expiration.

About a day before they're completely unavailable for renewal, I'll also get an email from CloudFlare saying the nameservers aren't pointing to CF anymore (I use CF for active and parked domains.)

Keep in mind: most users are not part of a domestic political organization targeted by the FBI, so again, when the rubber hits the road, they'd rather not be inconvenienced for a risk that applies to other people. They don't care about COINTELPRO (disregarding, of course, the percentage of the population that actually thinks the FBI digging into "subversive" groups is part of its job).

Users get no benefit from the information resale directly, but they also aren't generally harmed by it. And the benefit they get from having a ubiquitously-connected device in their pocket outweighs the (apparently calculated to be low) per-person cost to their information being resold. The fact that you or I may do the calculus differently for ourselves (because we have different risk sensitivity) doesn't impact those who don't reach the same conclusions.
Giving money to charities is still a profit-based activity, in that it requires generating profit to be able to give some away [0].

The issue that seems to be at stake with eBay vs. Newmark is that a company seems to be prevented from leaving a significant amount of possible profit on the table in order to provide direct amorphous distributed good - in craigslist's case the common person not having to be subject to (graphical) psychological manipulation when viewing classified ads.

A contrasting example is of Bill Gates's modern philanthropy efforts. It's certainly great that he's using that Microsoft lucre to make the world a better place. But IMHO it would have made the world an even better place if Microsoft had relaxed their business practices and not put us all through hell in the 90s.

The first approach leaves wealth and self-determination at the edges, while the latter suffers from the standard problems of top-down redistribution.

Practically, the root of the problem in the craigslist case is that they incorporated as for-profit and simply had an informal goal to begin with. A single stakeholder then sold their share to a purely profit-interested entity, which used that minority share to push craigslist down their own desired path (in addition to siphoning trade secrets). It seems like the only thing craigslist could have done is to formalize their philosophy-of-value when eBay wished to buy the shares, or ideally prior.

[0] Which allows the charity to be quantified. Presumably a shareholder would have a fiduciary duty claim if the board decided to give away 100% of profits.
What most people that keep repeating the energy consumption meme fail to realize is that the amount of electricity spent to secure the network is highly correlated with the block reward. Currently the reward is 12.5 BTC/10mins or close to $100k and it will keep getting halved every 4 years. Right now the fast rate of adoption drives the price up but in the long run the price will hit a plateau and the energy consumption will start to decline.

I think its valid to point out.

If the author is joking about being world class, that would be kind of odd. So is saying you're world class at something in general (unless you're the tiger woods of that something and can demonstrate/back it up).

I have found it is commonly a trend with frontend/javascript/rails devs to be senior/lead/etc after a few years of experience. I think there's a variety of reasons for this, but going back to the author he probably is very adept at his given field. But to brand yourself as world class seems a bit much.

Personal attack? Nope. But if I saw that line before interviewing a candidate - I'd definitely probe them about it
