Seems strange to make the guess without basis then says so.. except that it's suspiciously in the right OOM. Perhaps it was unconsciously based on that "shower" article providing a cost estimate for AWS, as well as an estimate of the premium over hardware.

Yes, promethease. Have you done 23andme? It also gives you increased risks, but usually none that are helpful. For example, if it says that you have some Snaps that increase your risks of prostate cancer from 1 in 100 to 2in 100, what do you do with that? 2 in 100 is still so low (even though double baseline population risk), that it's not going to effect my decisions. That's also assuming it's accurate -- other SNPs may lower your risk.

Yeah, pretty much. I’m saying it’s nothing new, and things are still churning along just fine, whether it is in reference to the deficit or CA. Nothing has changed, CA is still ridiculously expensive, as it always has been. CA taxes the shit out of you, as it always has. And jobs pay better, so one has to calculate if the added expense is worth it, as we always have. Will it ever change? In the long term, yeah, it’s likely. In the short term? I see no evidence that a change is in the making. Those gleefully predicting CA’s demise have been around as long as I’ve been alive, and much like TSLA shorts, they’re probably going to have to wait a while longer.

Microsoft Research is pushing along as well, they just don't publicize it as much.

Azure has already deployed FPGAs (they believe, being able to deploy and make changes including changes to workload on the fly is more beneficial than the efficiency compared to using an ASIC) for networking and accelerated ML (Project Catapult and Project Brainwave).

tbh, I do agree with using FPGAs over ASICs given the speed at which the tech is moving. Google has already cycled through 3 versions of the TPU.
Exactly. The real secret is distribution. Software makes building new products easier. But scaling them to the full market is as hard as its ever been and competition and noise gets worse as it becomes easier for new entrants. So firms with a durable mechanism to scale, or platform to push new products can maintain or grow in market provided they leverage their distribution to build or buy enough products to keep their distribution engine running.

But telegram never advertised anonymity as a takeaway.

Who here would like to contribute their actual organization's practices to a wiki just dedicated to SRE stuff?

Rather than just talk about how we're supposed to do this stuff, we can share how we actually do it. Pick some recipes (procedures, configs, documentation, tooling, workflows, etc), learn from previous teams, and go to town. Contribute back the things you've done/changed/learned to the wiki.

I didn't get why everyone was getting hyped over a product without threads when they were the most useful part of Flowdock, so I'm glad you're trying to think about it further.

But the flat thread model is still limited, particularly for complicated topics even a thread starts having the same problem as a channel where there is too much going on; have you thought about tree-structured threads, or some way of branching threads when there is a bunch of discussion happening on different topics?

I haven't really used Slack much, but one of the other places with lots of space for improvement in Flowdock was search, and Slack does seem to be investing there significantly, and I hope Zulip is as well.

Well done telegram, I'm concerned some weird government might give a hard time before collecting these sensitive details.

While every third party is doing these things everyday, Telegram is under the risk of getting targeted.
I'd prefer they be honest about what they're doing, which is complaining that others don't agree with them politically and then attempting to shame them into submission. But instead of admitting this, they use phrasing like “Microsoft is complicit in profiting from a violent and murderous mass incarceration and deportation scheme" (quoted from the article).

Thus they present anyone that disagrees with them as promoters of "violence and murderous mass incarceration", obviously informing you how they are the good guys and anyone that disagrees with them is an evil force that must be stopped. Regardless of my stance on an issue like this, I strongly disagree that this is the way to resolve it, calling anyone who disagrees with you a violent murderer.
Bit of a shame the nyt article didn't include that perspective - not all the 'cringey' labelling so much, but at least mentioning that they were booed.

Sometimes I wish they would. I've found recent Slack orgs I'm in to be dead. And you try start a topic and no one replies for hours or days, and I sometimes delete posts out of embarrassment that I said something wrong or just boring.

Last I looked at Zulip they were using the web-app in a "native" wrapper approach to desktop clients. I wish them the best, but wish just _one_ enterprise chat competitor would take a different approach. I know the appeal and I'm a JS developer myself, but even if you have to make a Mac-only solution, there is a market for that cause nearly every small-to-medium office seems to be all Mac.
Yeah, I definitely find myself buying from Amazon less often now. I shop around elsewhere as it's more user-friendly and only go to Amazon if I happen to search for a product and see it's cheaper on Amazon.

Before, a lot of people would have Amazon as their go-to "Google" for anything shopping related, but I don't think so anymore.

Having raised a seed round myself, this is definitely not true. Opinions, approach, and attitude of individual investors varies WILDLY. For VC it is more standard, but for "rich person with money in silicon valley" it is not.
> Everytime I have a serious conversation about the productivity gains or losses of Slack though, it is pretty clear to me that it is more disruptive than helpful.

So, the tens of thousands of teams paying for Slack either aren't having serious conversations or have decided the opposite. Here are some things I think you are undervaluing about team chat:

- It replaces many meetings and phone calls that are more interruptive.
- It helps distributed teams with legitimate needs for casual collaboration.
- It reduces an enormous cost of people being blocked waiting for email answers to simple questions that could not be anticipated.

The disadvantages of team chat can be avoided by discipline, but the benefits above require an assistive tool.

While we are at it, if you can't distinguish Slack from other team chat solutions, here are some things I think you are undervaluing:

- ease of onboarding for teams and individual users
- scalability to large, active teams
- Enterprise IT management
- automatic refunds for inactive users
- integration and third party app community
- Dev community supporting custom integrations
- strong mobile and desktop experiences

All of the above are super important for companies adopting, even though they're not about the core channel-messaging interaction you experience day to day. None of the alternatives check all of these boxes, and only teams is close.

> I’m saying it’s nothing new, and things are still churning along just fine, whether it is in reference to the deficit or CA.

Most economists will disagree with you about the deficit :-)

It's not something we tend to think about on a daily basis, but it's a huge, growing problem that already has ill effects and may end in a catatstrophe: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/04/09/why-a...

Similarly, California got away with squeezing the "rich techies", but it keeps losing some of them, and if it's not careful, that will escalate. I can tell you about a bunch of my friends who all had great offers in Cali, and normally would move there in a heartbeat, but the combination of taxes + housing costs + other crap made them go elsewhere. Once a bunch of companies open HQs in other states (besides Amazon that will certainly not open HQ2 in California), this will become worse.

> CA is still ridiculously expensive, as it always has been.

Not as bad as this. If you lived in California for decades, as you claim, you know it's been growing worse than ever.

> Remote access to centralized and/or distributed computing resources was a solved problem long before the internet showed up.

Same deal: it's a developing process. Folks wanted to do remote offices for a long time now, and technology has improved steadily to enable this. Now we're seeing more and more remote teams. This trend will likely strengthen as the internet gets faster, virtual reality gets better, etc.
Zulip – Open-source, threading-based Slack alternative
Oh my gosh, when has legal ever mattered?
The issue is that America funds cities poorly. There is a federal subsidy from cities that goes to rural areas. Red areas get more back in services than they pay in taxes, and blue areas pay out more in taxes than they get back.

So cities have to raise funding somehow.

(This is also a problem with the way America funds schools. The US needs to figure out how to distribute tax dollars more equally - or at least figure out how to keep most of the country out of poverty while still building infrastructure that keeps city housing costs down.)
I'm curious, what value do you think a money mgmt firm offers over low-cost brokerages/fund providers like Vanguard?
As a fictional example, in Asimov's "Prelude to Foundation" one of the locations (Dahl, a geothermal power district) offset the sweltering heat by running dimmer, reddish lighting, which apparently had a psychological effect on the inhabitants' perception of temperature.

In real life, I wouldn't be surprised if offices choose to run high-colour-temperature lights in order to keep workers more awake and less drowsy (the exact effect that software like F.lux tries to offset).

No, it's not. It's only how IP hygiene works if you want to abuse your contributors and request rights that realistically should _never_ be given.
The unintented consequence of this will be that now any website can easily demand real life ID. Ordinary, non-financial websites (think Reddit, Twitter, Hacker News) will require ID to log in, to protect against spam and make the community safer.

This implements the dream of authoritarian governments that internet access should never be anonymous. Russian government officials have long wanted to establish a similar authentication system.
