There is a split between Utah County and Salt Lake City. Though according to a friend (I moved away a decade ago) the "Silicon Slopes" locally refers mostly to the area in between (centered around north Lehi where Adobe's building is). However there's always https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Slopes -- while the region spans SLC and Provo, the claim by 'tntn that the marketing purpose of "Silicon Slopes" was largely to concentrate on the more rural areas in between (i.e. most of Utah County) doesn't seem that unreasonable.

I don't think it's media that fuels are fear of terrorism, I think it's actually the Terrorism. You are implying that the media makes it out to be worse than it is, I disagree. I think the media largely downplays terrorism and makes sure that we all think it just fell out of the sky and it's just crazy people and there's no rhyme or reason to it so there's no way to predict anything or take any action to stop it. The media just mollifies us and makes sure we don't get angry or take any steps, or do anything at all about it all except feel bad for the victims.
Ive had a freak out on shrooms myself. I just am very careful about Xanax/Benzos because they’re highly addictive. Xanax is kinda like alcohol, it's a gaba-ergic drug - it will help, but the primary way to stop freaking out is to calm down and breathe properly, and be assured that things are ok. But I’m sure in an emergency it can be useful.

Your intuition that the existence of more than one bad things means that people can't solve other bad things is exceedingly wrong. It flies in the face of the fact that humans regularly tackle more than one issue at a time.

Also, its not lets. Someone else is buying this book, not us. Their money does not belong to us. So we do not have the right to claim credit for this charitable deed. You especially, in opposition to this charitable deed, do not have any claim to it.
Thanks for the correction. I guess you get a probabilistic "guarantee" in that you could see how many peers are serving your content at any given time, and make assumptions about their independence from each other and likelihood that your content will stay available?

The contention of the comment to which you originally responded was with the use of the word "prevent." If they had used a word like "disincentives" there wouldn't be an issue. I thought that was clear from that comment.

I basically agree with you, but just to play devil's advocate:

> Maybe the relevant factor isn't whether the same people are in place, but rather that the process that selected those people at all, selected both the "linux is cancer" people, as well as the current people. And that process is the same as it was before, optimizing for the same things, and therefore it may try to undermine open source again, once the prevailing cultural winds shift again, regardless of which warm body is currently in the hot seat.

It's a little more of a abstract argument, but I don't think it's insane to consider.

So the debate then becomes about whether the process really is the same or not.
Exactly this, feature comparisons completely miss the point imo. GitHub is the centralized place where 95% of open source happens. A CI/CD pipeline bolted on top or k8s integration do not replace the community that GitHub is home to.

Totally agreed! If you put in the time to define it upfront, it makes so many other tactical things (like hiring, goal setting etc) much easier down the road.
Sourcegraph CEO here. The market does care, and there are a lot of companies using (and demanding) deeper Sourcegraph integration with code hosts, via things like our browser extension (https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/features/browser-extensio...), Phabricator integration (https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/features/phabricator-exte...), and built-in integrations.

We've been so busy and haven't published much more about it yet, but there are large tech companies using these to get Sourcegraph integration right inside their code hosts. The feedback from our customers is very, very positive on these.

To clarify, I started this trend of listing companies, and failed to recognize that apparently "Silicon Slopes" refers to larger region than Utah County. Before looking into it more, I would have said that it was only Utah County, since there are massive billboards on I-15 southbound around Draper that say "you are now entering silicon slopes" and the phrase was coined by the founder of Domo.

My mistake. Since the edit window on my original post closed, I tried to explain in subsequent comments what I had in my head when making that first list so that people would realize they don't need to explain to me that all of Utah is not like MLMs.

That seems considerably less toxic than trying to convince strangers on a public internet forum about exactly why your coworker is in the wrong.

Also, from my own memory and the archived comments, I don't see any insulting ones, unless you think that a lack of immediate deference to the person who is most prolific at typing 'git commit' is an insult. (Perhaps you like another commenter have confused the CEO and others commenting here?)

Yeah, spot on. Governance and durability through org structure is a thing.

The way to solve this is to provide the Internet Archive with enough resources to build out a globally distributed storage system.

Thanks for exposing your biases, but you are wrong. It's more of a quid-pro-quo exchange on some of these MLMs or trying to be supportive of someone else's venture in your community. Nearly all know it is overpriced and not necessarily what they need, but it is the rapid exchange of social capital that keeps those communities the way they are. Before MLMs it was casseroles, cookies, tools, helping hands, and babysitting.
A better title would be "How Management Works in 2018."

Do the CPUs of their respective systems directly understand the instructions? In my opinion, if they don't, that's not native code.

Of course they wouldn't. They would either do it on the web or mobile. My first .Net job was writing Windows mobile apps for field technicians and factory workers on ruggedized devices. I've since written software for field service workers for Android tablets. They definitely weren't going to be carrying around Windows laptops.
Off-topic question about VSCode - it is Electron based, which was released in 2013. Now, Microsoft had/has team in Zurich, Switzerland - they've specially opened the office to hire Erich Gamma (of Eclipse and DP fame).

Shouldn't the criticism for IPO terms like this be directed at the money managers buying these shares on behalf of their clients?

It is ultimately those making the capital allocation decision to push back on unreasonable terms. Seems like they "sort of are":

"Domo acknowledges in its disclosure statement that Standard & Poor’s will be excluding companies with these structures from some of its indexes, and other index owners may follow suit. That’s a problem for Domo, because the rise of passive investments keyed to stock indexes means that many investors won’t be buying its stock."

I would say they deserve different kinds of coverage.

A plane crash or terrorist attack is the kind of immediate news story that can dominate a news cycle for a week and that makes sense. But news papers and magazines also devote plenty of coverage to long term, on going problems, such as the coverage devoted to sexual harassment in the past year. And indeed, even when there have been no major terror attacks in several months, there is still always an endless stream of articles discussing the issue and how we might best approach it.

We should expect that our news sources to devote more of their long form, investigative pieces to domestic problems like heart disease and traffic accidents.
Have they been upgraded? Yes. Have they replaced those 1970s era engines with subs that have quieter electric drives as planned? Nope.

From the open letter (linked above) by the experts: "The last concentrated investment to modernize the triad came during the Reagan administration."

Even if you believe the subs are in great condition, that doesn't fix the other two fundamentally broken legs of the triad. The B-52 fleet would likely get shot down because they're very slow and non-stealthy. The ICBMs probably don't even work (no public evidence they do), they're in well known static silos, and have just a few minutes of "use or lose" time.

> abstract everything away with money

The thesis of capitalism is that acting only in self interest is good for the collective, i.e. your own capital is all, i.e. we can abstract everything away with money.

Recent HN discussion of a different review of this book: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17217444
There's two questions at play. The first is whether or not there's any veracity to what's been written. The Paste article strongly suggests there isn't. The second is what the actual writing suggests. Even if Neil Strauss (for example) had fabricated virtually everything in The Game, the Rule Of Goats still very much applies, because The Game depicts its brand of goat-fucking favorably.

I don't have an answer for The eXile, but I get why someone would have a problem with it regardless of what Ames and Taibbi actually did.

Great, let's me buy a cheap one second hand!
Superficially it seems there is some overlap, but github’s issue tracking for example is very simple (assuming enterprise is the same, I haven’t seen it).

VSTS supports the JIRA level of features like complex workflows, hierarchical issues, scrum/kanban boards (including hierarchical sub teams with differing sprint dates), burndowns and hundreds of other charts.

I would love to see all that ported to github, but it just wouldn’t be GitHub any more then.

To me they seem like VS and VS code. One is a big fat enterprisey thing and one is lighter. The enterprise version of GitHub doesn’t seem so focused on enterprise processes as VSTS is, but rather on enterprise infrastructure things (auth stuff, cloud integration stuff...).
EKS may be appealing for a shop that has AWS expertise, automation, and monitoring set-up already and that doesn't necessarily want to manage a completely different stack for k8s. EKS has some form of integration with IAM, EBS, ALB, Route53, CloudWatch, etc.

As to 'unfinished', this is the usual model for AWS. New services are initially very simple and rich features and integrations are added over time. It's been that way for ten years. ECS didn't even support running multiple container ports per instances when it was released!
Good leadership ideas.
I think defining relationships and respecting the boundaries is also important.

Make sure all employees understand relationship types and know which there have with one another.

In addition to the other reply, “it’s part of the same company” is incorrect. These organizations are related but aren’t “the same company.” They’re intentionally organized this way. Ireland can go after Apple Ireland, but they’ve got no jurisdiction to go after Apple, Inc in California.
I like Elon Musk's approach and its blessing of widely-used acronyms. My industry both uses a ton of acronyms and requires that formal written work define an acronym the first time it's used in a document. This requirement has no exceptions, even for widely-known acronyms like "NCIS"
That "US cell carriers are selling access to real-time phone location data". Some know, but most probably do not. Most non-technical people would also be surprised by this.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17081684

The top comment expands on the situation:

"It's not just your cell carrier. Your cell phone chip manufacturer, GPS chip manufacturer, phone manufacturer and then pretty much anyone on the installed OS (android crapware) is getting a copy of your location data. Usually not in software but by contract, one gives gps data to all the others as part of the bill of materials.

This is then usually (but not always) "anonymized" by cutting it in to ~5 second chunks. It's easy to put it back together again. We can figure out everything about your day from when you wake up to where you go to when you sleep.

This data is sold to whoever wants it. Hedge funds or services who analyze it for hedge funds is the big one. It's normal to track hundreds of millions of people a day and trade stocks based on where they go. This isn't fantasy, it's what happens every day.

Almost every web/smartphone mapping company is doing it, so is almost everyone that tracks you for some service - "turn the lights on when I get home". The web mapping companies and those that provide SDKs for "free". It's a monetization model for apps which don't need location. That's why Apple is trying hard to restrict it without scaring off consumers."
I once served on a jury with a fellow who was deaf. It's been a while now, but I recall that we'd do things like minimize side conversations, take very well-defined turns when speaking, and pause in between speakers to allow the interpreters to catch up. It was an interesting process and I think that being respectful of him and the interpreters actually made us more efficient in our deliberation as a group.
And given that the point of entertainment, from the perspective of “the elite” (government officials but also other wealthy and powerful individuals who are a part of the same de facto governing system) the primary purpose of entertainment isn’t much different from a form of propaganda anyways. Mass media is largely about programming the populace. Now of course it’s not all produced with malicious intent, but that doesn’t stop the powers that be from influencing them, and by extension “the people” through mass media.

But this is just my relatively uninformed opinion based on casual observation, not any serious study of the issue. Although given that if this were studied and published in a journal it would have likely gone through institutions which are subject to the same system which would be criticized by the research so...how much good could that really do?

I suppose my cynicism towards the people I’m supposed to trust is the primary thing prevents me from having a more fact based view of the world.

Sometimes there are no "small chunks" and this is where all agile approaches fail.

If a thing does not work it is not a deliverable. Bonus points if the thing is not really testable because it is tied to platform/OS. (And you'd either have to implement it in full our spend weeks implementing a test harness.)
