It depends on the project. The biggest thing is to assess where the team is at. I just left a project where the team had serious issues and the leadership did not have the desire to fix it...IE: a tech lead that was more of a mid level dev running a command and control style thing. The team, with more experience, did not have a say in the architecture, what they got to work on etc.. All devs had to get their commits past the mid-level lead, the lead would reserve most of the fun and hard stuff for themselves and leave the scraps for the rest of the team. The lead had multiple silo'ed efforts and, as a result, had a higher number of commits etc. on code base partially because they were constantly declining PR's from the rest of the team to do it their way.

Now if you have a team that is actually open to your ideas things are VERY different. I've worked on them and they are amazing. The key thing is to evaluate where they are at and apply what is going to work for them. The biggest thing is to avoid the one size fits all approach.

With the original comment for this thread, my biggest issue out that gate with their approach is that you are using a lot of branches which negates the benefits of CI etc.. Why not instead try to figure out how to reduce branches and have more people checking in working code to dev with unit tests?
I’m honestly curious how many people don’t do drugs solely because it’s illegal? How many people are thinking “I’d love to try meth; if only it were legal!”

>>> As a retail investor / layman, can you explain the benefits or workflow? (legalities, how to go about this, use cases)<<<<

All company insiders(e.g CEO,Directors etc) are required to report to the Government, stock transactions they make in their company. Many brokerages will give you this information on a per company basis.
What we have seen is there is a delay between one to three days. So the benefit is you get the information as it is reported.
What you do with this information is up to you. But being aware of large transactions by insiders could be a useful metric as part of your research.
For example here are transaction's that we came across on our insider page last night

There was ~120M of stock that was disposed of.

Do You Have a Right to Repair Your Phone?
If I was building a startup today I would choose Rails for the MVP without a doubt. So much time wasted with the modern JS ecosystem or even other mature frameworks like Django. I have almost 15 years of experience building web apps professionally with the majority of that being spent with Django.

There is no tech stack in the world that will get you shipped and proving your business faster than RoR.
just fixed it, thanks for that!
We were looking at it for a configuration management backend. So, yes, 500+ values, consumed by microservices.

I still say - the only real value even when compared to other AWS services is the rotation, which currently only really works with DBs (and then only if your service connects to the Secrets Manager directly, with every DB open).
The connection between extractive mining and intractable African poverty
That certainly makes some sense, but in that case maybe someone who has run a big organization, or built a product would be helpful. I look around and see very few successful startups that were successful on the vision of the CEO alone. So much of success comes from being able to break down walls and get things to work together that didn’t before. Maybe he can do it, but that’s really hard to do. I’d prefer betting on someone who has demonstrated that ability.

Put another way it’s like giving $100M seed round to a visionary but completely unproven founder when the company is not even at garage stage. Might work out, but seems quite a bit more likely to fail than $100M given to someone who had done something like it before.
I always wonder why existing families didnt take advantage of the real estate boom.

FB had obviously been growing for years. If you lived in an area for more than 5 years, you should probably stop renting.

If you moved there and dont have a tech job? Whhyyyyyyyy?

I cannot understand this issue, it seems everything was in place for this area to eliminate problems.
Much appreciated, thanks alot

> It wasn't until modern times that prison became a place for common criminals, in those days only political offenders would be put away

I don't think it was universally true, for example, when the Bastille prison in Paris was taken at the start of the French Revolution, it held only common criminals, with the political prisoners having been moved before the start of the unrest.
The problem is, the sort of devs who would jump right into Ruby On Rails a decade ago are now doing stuff with React, Node, Go, and (if they're lucky duckies) Elixir.
That's true, Manhattan has the benefit that you can't spread outwards so they just build up, which makes it easier to get around without a car.

Youtube is anything but centralized, they literally pioneered distributed video content with their GGC nodes, with at least 10s of thousands of nodes all over the world. They may not be the first, but almost definitely the largest.

I don't understand why you are mentioning peer to peer technology? What does that have to do with anything? Youtube is not a cute side project where your viewing experience depending on how many peers your video has. Peertube depends on webtorrent, you literally have to host and seed every single video on your platform and duplicate it multiple times by others. Good luck doing it over petabyte scale. Google does something similar, but popular videos are hosted at users-end point on GGC nodes, distributed over 10,000s of servers all over the world.

Somewhat related; I was building a game a few years ago and passing 4x4 matrices (128 bytes) by value was faster than pass by reference. I don't know exactly how many bytes can be passed by value before it becomes slower, but please don't read this and mindlessly assume pass by value is slower.

I know someone involved in the industry in Canada and they flew to Uruguay, the first country to legalise it, to learn from them and create connections. This role will be pioneered by Canada in many ways and it's much different than decriminalization.

There's tons of money to be made long term, not just within Canada but exporting knowledge and systems. I have a feeling this will be influencing many parliaments and congresses around the world to look into doing the same and other partner countries won't be far away.
"This content is not available in your region" should go on their flag.
That's going to improve the overall productivity of the worst (maybe) devs while hurting the productivity of the best ones. For the latter, it took years to get to the level of proficiency they are on now with their editor, and they are not going to be as productive in the new one for a long time[1]. You're intentionally crippling them by taking their tool away - why would you do this? Why do you expect they'll put up with it?

[1] And that's assuming your chosen editor is objectively comparable in features with the one they used, which it probably isn't unless it's the one extensible in Lisp ;)
I live in Silicon Valley, and of the people I know well enough to discuss these things, every one who doesn't own their home is experiencing some level of distress about rising housing costs. My anecdata isn't proof that the article isn't exaggerated, but the article is pretty consistent with my experience. Just sayin'.
I've had the same experience, having done exactly one, one-month RoR project and a lot of embedded Ruby.

At the end of the day though, the couple of jobs I did investigate were really pretty shitty. One company asked me to do a coding challenge... I said, "Sure, about how long will it take me?" "I dont know." "What's the subject matter?" "I don't know." "How will you grade the test?" "I dont know." "When do you need it?" "Thursday." "So the only thing you know about this test is it has to be done right now?"
Human nature? Emergent behaviour? Natural consequence of the region's housing policies?

Calling someone "greedy" works when it can shame them into submission. (For example, shaming a drug company's executives for dramatically raising a patented drug's price.) It doesn't work when the blame can be shared away.

The other difference between demand driving prices versus sellers "greedily" increasing them is the risk of shortages. If the drugmaker from my prior example reduces prices, it probably won't cause a shortage. Capping housing prices in the Bay Area, on the other hand, would result in queues and quotas.

Calling the Bay Area's landowners "greedy" isn't only ineffective, it's also inaccurate. If someone bought a house recently, they probably need to charge a high rent to cover their mortgage and property taxes.
Yep, definitely not debating that it's overpriced and questionable value compared to KMS + storage of your choosing -- just surprised that you ended up with a model where it's nontrivial cost :)

We are conditioned in many ways to think of the myriads of unwritten rules and customs that surround our day-to-day interaction as natural and obvious. But they are a product of our society and its culture, and a very political product at that - they are what makes abstract hierarchies of power in that society concrete. It manifests even in very simple things, like how you address others (think about things like the T-V distinction, or, in some languages, how different names the person has can be used in different combinations to claim or defer to authority).

When you have more than one person, and they interact with each other, they need to deal with things like authority, rules, fairness etc - all of which are political. The reason why I wrote "three" is because it's the minimum at which you can have the majority forcing some authority or rules on the unwilling minority, which is when that politics becomes explicit.
But most companies on the internet have failed to find a stable business model - including companies which presumably do "understand the internet better." Even Google has trouble making money on Youtube, which is about as new media as new media gets. That problem isn't unique to pre-web companies or their cultures, it's a result of the nature of the web itself.
They aren't "causing" the problems, though. They are, at most, selecting a manifestation. But if they out of the goodness of their heart cut prices, there's still a housing shortage, the underlying problem that will manifest one way or another.

If "housing shortage" sounds neutral or preferable to you, try to imagine the human-interest sob stories that would be written about how long-time residents are preventing anyone from moving in, or how unfair it is that this person got one of the underpriced slots ("a white male Facebook engineer from out east") and this other person ("disadvantaged resident whose family has been in the area for two hundred years") didn't. To the extent the problem is "Stop sob stories being written about Silicon Valley", trading high rents for a housing shortage didn't solve the problem, just moved it around.

Or how upset a lot of people would be if Facebook just leaves because they can't get enough housing.

Cutting prices would also reduce the motivation for others to figure out how to build more housing, because the higher the rents get the bigger the prize is for building more housing.

Trying to use price fixing to mask underlying problems has a long track record of failing to fix the underlying problem, and then creating problems of its own.

(To be honest, "Facebook leaving" or some equivalently sized employer is the only real solution that's ever going to work out. I think a good case can be made that Silicon Valley the business is now simply physically too big to fit into Silicon Valley the geography. Even if density was increased to the requisite levels, that would cause its own problems that people would be complaining about with air quality, even worse traffic, etc.)

from my experience, getting these senior insiders to lead a newco would just result in more incremental innovation. Most of them came up in and benefited from the current broken system and are either too conservative to embrace drastic change or don't want to rock the boat.

I don't think something like Kaiser could be easily rebuilt from scratch, but I don't know too much about the Mayo Clinic except for its reputation for clinical excellence and their active investments in innovation. Have they implemented new models to meaningfully lower cost of care?

I also imagine Atul gawande has enough experience with the existing system to know what ideas have a chance of working vs running into a brick wall of conflicting incentives. He can hire somebody to lead negotiations with insurance companies and providers, etc
You and everyone else.

It is hard to make everyone happy with one single set of tools. Once you start trading documents with customers and vendors it goes out the window. For instance, Adobe's InDesign is a good tool for making brochures you would hand out at a trade show. You might get a contract in Word or PDF (and you'd better believe you should have that indexed!)

If it were me, I would use a Github Wiki. I would like to recommend RestructuredText as a markup language, as it has the greatest potential for encoding the semantics of the document, but people (including myself) have a hard time getting RST markup to stick in their heads.

The big picture would be something that unifies multiple data sources but that may be easier said than done. (eg. a common question on hacker news is "What is the market outlook for a better (Slack|Skype|Facebook Messenger|...)" and the answer I think is that I don't want to have another electron app running on my computer for yet another chat client that is invariably no better than what came before.)
People are tribal about race and culture too, not just class. Redlining laws were aimed at minorities that could afford to live in the white neighborhoods they were moving into. We've made that illegal now, so people look for other ways to achieve the same effect.

His ideas aren't that impressive. All of his language still talks of "delivery" of health care. It's like listening to someone talk of new ways to deliver pizza. Your new delivery method may be revolutionary, but delivery is only a small part of the business. You are still delivering the same pizza. You aren't questioning whether the pizza is helping the people eating it, or whether it should be delivered in the first place.

My hope lies with those who question the product, not the delivery methodology. The US needs to rethink health care, not how they provide or pay for it. They needs to rethink how many prescriptions they shovel into the population. They need to rethink how they pigeonhole patients. They need to get people exercising. Those changes aren't going to come from anyone still talking about "how we deliver health care".

Eh, I can almost guarantee it has almost no battery impact. JavaScriptCore is fairly fast, business logic doesn't take that long to run (100ms vs 200ms, whatever.), and it all pales in comparison to running GPS or the display for a few seconds. Unless you're playing a game or running some complex algorithm, most of your phone's battery goes to the wifi / cell radio and the display.

> sneeze out cocaine or shoot heroin out of your veins autonomously

It's an extremely complex system, but notice that prohibition has actually altered the way we consume drugs. For example, coca leaves can be consumed rather harmlessly. But for smuggling purposes, it's concentrated into powder. Then, its black market status makes it a sign of the wealthy and well-connected. This doesn't hold for all substances, but it's worth remembering. You do see a portion of e.g. pot smokers who have to push it really far and do dabs of highly concentrated THC. But then again, many users of pot just vape a little concentrate to minimize lung damange.

> legalizing weaned rehab

absolutely. If people want help getting off drugs, we ought to facilitate it essentially like healing a broken leg. We kind of do this with methadone, but laws make it risky and far from perfect.

> genetics

it is known that certain genes increase likelihood of alcohol addiction. It's probably the same for many other substances, too.

> high potential for abuse drugs that for me have me wondering how anyone could consider it fun.
ugh same here. Had to take hydrocodone after surgery for a week. That was one messed-up high for me.
javascript is actually counting the scripts in the page
I understand the sentiment, but in practical, not ideological terms, is prohibition going to help? Multiple examples, from US alcohol Prohibition era, to the War on Drugs raging for over 30 years now, to inner city hellholes like Baltimore or Chicago, and on the reverse, to success examples of decriminalization like Portugal, do we not have enough empirical evidence that prohibition simply doesn't work?
Sort of.

A web page can, in some circumstances, be made to probe - e.g. if you have an <img src="http://192.168.1.0"/> it will likely do an http connection to that address; whether you can actually use it for exploration depends on a lot of things.

There's a class of attacks called "DNS rebinding" that use DNS and named hosts to bypass some browser protections and cross-origin policies (see e.g. [0])

But you still need some form of cooperation - a browser request - which, as [0] points out, can be bought as an ad -- just one more reason for ad blockers.

Also, Rails scales perfectly fine as a stateless web front end. If you have those scaling challenges you need an underlying architecture to handle it, not a silver bullet language.

If you need raw single process performance especially with parallelism then you probably should look beyond ruby. But the whole Rails doesn’t scale because Twitter meme is asinine.
> What do you mean by "un-owned" plots?

City owns them and refuses to sell or develop it into a park. Or it's owned but undeveloped, either because the owner is convinced the city will authorize multistory development any day now or the city has put a restriction on developing the lot. Getting construction permits can be very expensive in the Bay Area's suburbs.
If you ship a product because it only works for white people and that's good enough, that is definitely racism. Just as it would be sexism if you shipped a voice recognition product that only worked for men.

Laziness and racism aren't mutually exclusive. Historically in America, white people haven't considered black people as fully human. You can read the various declarations of secession or the 3/5ths compromise for that. Or the long post-Reconstruction history of slightly more subtle ways.

Sure, laziness was involved here. But deciding a product was good enough to ship without caring that it worked for black people requires the effective belief that black people didn't really count as people. At least, not people that mattered. Imagine the reverse: if the product didn't work on white men, would it have been shipped? Of course not.

When laziness just happens to have a blatantly racist outcome in a place where there is a centuries-long history of racism, Occam's Razor suggests the explanation is racism. If laziness could not have caused the bad outcome to happen for white people, then it's pretty clear that pure laziness is not the real cause. It's instead white people being differentially lazy when it comes to black people. That's clearly racism.

As a confirmatory example, look at the American justice system. In a lot of places and times, the same nominal laws applied to white and black people. But they were enforced very differently. Serious crimes against black people were ignored. Minor infractions by black people were enforced vigorously. [1] Were the cops lazy? Sure, everybody's lazy sometimes. Was that why there was a racially different outcome? Definitely not.

[1] Examples of this are all over Loewen's "Sundown Towns" for example.
