Eventbrite probably wants to sell tickets to every event on the planet [and take a cut]. That doesn't sound so un-sexy from a business perspective. (I don't know anything about their numbers, just saying.)

I'd venture to say you are right:

GP:"the women sipping from glasses of champagne and laughing"

OP:"[instead] women seem to laugh at salad rather than champagne."

i.e. in actual modern life the ultimate debonaire lifestyle, as depicted by the likes of instagram, doesn't focus on smiling over exclusive alcohol as much as it does on smiling over exotic salads.
Yeah, copying the content is definitely copyright violation. But I meant to say that by hosting these sites, the developer could also get sued for attempting to conduct business under the trade name of another entity. And that includes, in particular, hosting that fake Google SERP.
What’s wrong with making rich people richer?

Most of the time people get rich by doing exactly what you want to do: help others. The capitalist way of improving life for everybody is to engage in voluntary transactions that benefits both parties involved in such transactions.

With that said, if you work for a company that produces, let’s say, TVs and help them make TVs more affordable and efficient you will help people that couldn’t have TVs before get access to it.

That’s how we got to the place we are now where most people in somewhat developed countries can afford a TV or a chicken sandwich without having to spend 6 months and thousands of dollars in the process of making it.

The good thing about freedom is that your own benefit is often dependent on benefiting others as well since alone we can achieve nothing.

If you are more interested in helping your community or bigger causes you can keep working for these same companies and save some money and use that money to help whatever cause you feel good about. Maybe even create a business in the future to increase the rate of what you can help others.

There are plenty of companies that are founded on the principle of turning a profit but also help the communities they belong to while doing it.

Making people rich don’t conflict with improving others people lives and helping your community.

You will be much more useful to society if you are doing good yourself. Otherwise you can’t help anyone. You have to help yourself first.
There is unfortunately a big disconnect between C-level people and regular users. C-levels believe, truly believe, that they are creating a good thing with spying(1) on users to create more and more customized web experience and of course custom ads. They also consider ads as good in general.

(Some) users think that instead it's an uncontrolled full speed descent towards mountain cliff. Other users just aren't thinking about this at all, but I highly doubt that any one of them would ever join side of C-levels in this.

(1) I'm using correct word instead of what C-levels prefer, because "metadata is spying" obviously. Just like it is spying even if I don't record your private conversations, but "only" stalk you 24/7 from afar and record all around you, who you communicate with etc.

Neither is the detection of those elements requirements for life. We know for a fact that for 2 billion years our earth had very very low levels of oxygen, but was in-fact full of life.
Yeah, of course companies are for-profit. I struggle to see how selling tickets should cover return for investors, return for shareholders, employee salaries and fancy offices?
The problem is now it will depend on which patch(es) your CPU may have. Many online benchmarks and reviews of Intel CPUs vs AMD may be old, or run without patches applied / security modes enabled. If I order an Intel CPU now, I am not sure what microcode version I'll be getting to be honest. As a result, those benchmarks that show Intel edge out AMD a bit on some games may actually be inverted depending on these factors.

Going with AMD at this point is simpler, better for security, and if you care about this sort of thing -- rewards more honest and less consumer-predatory behavior. I've always gone with Intel my whole life, but given these many incidents with Intel, combined with their really poor public responses to it, I will now be switching to an AMD user for all future PC builds.
> The west is slowly starting to realize something that China has realized for years; economic policy is not a question of economics but of geopolitical strategy.

I do not believe that this is a recent realization - this goes back to at least the Dutch East India company (VOC). The foundation of the British economy were the vast resources of the British Empire (read colonies) for many decades.

But results matter. If I am trying really hard not to kill people but inadvertently kill a few while providing employment for thousands of soldiers, won't a judge completely ignore that good side of me when sentencing? This is why we need laws and regulations to prevent FB from inadvertently killing democracy.

DNC Says Reported Hack Attempt Was a False Alarm
I have fond memories of the first time I read the Foundation series. I chose to read it the long way, in a recommended order I found online that pulls in the robot novels and the empire novels. Only frustrating bit with that is that every single one of those books except for one (I think it was Robots and Empire) is available as an ebook. :)
> It is a website selling tickets. It's not rocket science

"It's just people sending shirt messages. It's not rocket science."

"It's just syncing some files. It's not rocket science."

It's extremely short sighted to think that everything is easy and simple. There are real-world engineering issues that come when you have influxes of people attempting to buy specific, limited items at the same time.

(Also, rocket science isn't that hard. Rocket engineering and manufacturing is the hard part.)

> Who are the millions of folks you're thinking of?

Anyone from a family with intergenerational wealth. I haven't seen formal statistics on this, but most of the people I've talked with in this situation aren't just sitting around smoking crack or whatever the anti-UBI folks claim would happen.
I moved on from Eventbrite years ago, but the lessons I learned and the friends I made were incredible. I'm happy for everyone involved.
Considering their competitor is LYV(Live Nation) at a market cap of 10 Billion... Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie? Hopefully they will be able to raise enough capital to bring lawsuits against LYV for their anti-competitive and monopolistic practices.
This seems like someone testing the waters. I fear as they fall further behind the behaviour may become more desperate.
> The real draw of Minecraft comes from a number of core features, most importantly the crafting and the survival needs that motivate the crafting and building.

Minecraft became big way before survival. I remember playing for hours on Classic just building stuff with unlimited materials and talking to random people about their buildings.

Just go to any creative mode server and you will see that crafting/surviving is just a minor part of the game.
BTW every reputable company has server-side auditable logs and relies on phone apps only to wipe mobile devices or bulk install/uninstall apps.
You really should do both.

Finding Crazy Stuff in Mobile Apps
JJ Abrahms does Asimov would be an abomination.

What Michael Bay is to 'splosions, JJ Abrams is to plot twists.
10 hours for each book seems excessive, especially since most of the actual events in the Foundation novels happen "off-screen" and are only revealed through conversations by the characters.

10 hours is the equivalent of the entire Hobbit trilogy of movies, for a book that is much shorter - and we all know how that turned out.
There might simply be no way to travel at, or even near, and much less faster than, the speed of light, in which case the universe could be full of life that we will never contact or meet. Life might be rare enough that it's unlikely in any single galaxy.
Not even perhaps. Stop blaming the victims.
Ohh interesting. Didn't get that far yet. But good to know. Is there somekind of place listing these gotchas with the syntax? Seems something good to be aware.
I'm sure this will get as much coverage as their announcement of the supposed hack.
With respect, the full quote included the word "nonstop". Someone with OCD-like behaviour can drive you crazy. My partner has autism like I do (and my autism drives her crazy, at times, though I also omit e.g. picking my nose around her), and she's on a witchhunt with certain things such as pimples on my and her body (even though its less painful if I do it myself), dark (small) hairs on her chin/legs (she's brunette), the few hours which form a vague unibrow on me, hair on our ears. I get it if the reason is ingrown hairs, I really do. But the other stuff seems over the top. She also has a plethora of cleaning and hygiene rules which might make sense but are outliers (for example the cats are exempt). I can totally imagine someone who's going through such can sometimes use harsh words to vent their frustration. It isn't chique, I agree.
Robots and Empire is relatively hard to find in print even. I think it's had a lot fewer reprints than most of the other books for some reason, in spite of its fairly critical place in the Asimov timeline and the fact that other books refer to it a lot.
FWIW, that would have had your index fund missing AMZN and NFLX runs that have been pretty incredible. Zero interest rate policy has created a new, confusing market environment.
I suspect its something more banal.

I believe intel does distribute test/beta microcode to certain partners, and likely security researchers, this kind of statement is something you would put in a beta version, I wonder if someone simply used the wrong license file when they deployed this to the website.
Neat! Do you have a link to the recommended order?
I've heard about the problem with the RPi's constantly corrupting SD cards before. I'm curious though, did you try out any other microcomputers in the RPi's price range before upgrading to the NUCs?
If it's a limited access beta version, restricting redistribution and benchmark publishing makes a lot more sense.
Yes, I had to buy a hard back Robots and Empire. One thing I'd like is to have a hard back Asimov collection.
That's the context I was missing :) [my initial comment now also applies to LYV]
If only there were other ways to send messages to people over the internet
Google+ tried to copy facebook functionality too, right?

While instagram already has the users, I think the point is that you can build it, but you can't make people use it. Instagram can prevent existing users from leaving snapchat for 'stories', but will it really entice snapchat users to come over to instagram, given that social networks are a function of people who use it?
Is the contention by OSI that when they coined the label "open source" on 1998-02-03[1] that it was both unused previously and/or that they have sole claim to that label?

Because that's never been how I understood it. I'm pretty sure I understood it to be, at least in it's most encompassing sense, that the source was visible long before the time OSI says it created the label.

> A car accident can kill you at 35 mph but they usually didn't (and usually don't). Cars are safer now and I appreciate that, but they weren't _that_ unsafe: people would not have driven them otherwise.

Cars were a lot less safe in 1971, that is a fact. No air bags, no anti-lock brakes, no traction control. Older cars didn't have seat belts, shoulder belts were rare, cars weren't built to crumple, steering columns would impale you, etc.

Fact, not anecdote:
In 1971 there were 4.46 fatalities per million vehicle miles traveled (MVMT).
In 2015 it was 1.18 fatalities per MVMT.

So yes, in fact cars were three times as dangerous as today.

Yeah but Mastadon has to compete with Twitter, which already works pretty well. To go mainstream, they'll need to do better.
the entire way the device was designed and the way you interacted with it was a new paradigm.

Only if you ignored all the other smartdevices on the market at the time. Palm and WindowsMobile phones had touchscreens before the iPhone came out. The only big change with the iPhone from an interaction perspective was a switch to capacitative screens, which made it easier to use with fingers but far worse to use in any sort of weather or industrial situations.
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with taking a sparsely plotted novel (like The Hobbit or Foundation, both of which have a lot of details happen off-stage and sometimes bafflingly so) and fleshing out the details.

The problem with the Hobbit movies is just that they did that very badly.
If they had given it to specific companies before it was finished the benchmarks would not represent reality while it was under development, and as part of the embargo on these beta clients, they wouldn't be allowed to publish it.

Obviously not good if it makes it into the public release.
He's talking about the cultural left not the political one deployed to ensure voter turnout.

Perhaps this will add more context:

Today’s aged hippies no longer understand that there
is a difference between the election of a black
president and the creation of cheap solar energy; in
their minds, the movement towards greater civil rights
parallels general progress everywhere. Because of these
ideological conflations and commitments, the 1960s

might be getting worse. I wonder whether the endless
fake cultural wars around identity politics are the
main reason we have been able to ignore the tech

Oh, I certainly took no shortage of flack for those early analyses, but I'm glad you appreciated them! Some of my clients have even expressed disappointment that my jepsen.io analyses for them weren't as snarky as the aphyr.com ones! It's a tough situation though--if I were to write snarky analyses, even for unpaid clients, it would raise the possibility that clients could pay for favorable treatment. So... I go through an extensive process, often involving weeks of review with my client and peers, to produce as accurate, professional, and neutral a report as I can.

There's another aspect to this: now that I've established a reputation and people take my work seriously, I don't have to be snarky or aggressive to get attention drawn to these issues. And the DB landscape has changed a lot in the last five years! Engineers want to provide formalized safety guarantees. Vendors are taking these failure modes seriously instead of dismissing them as irrelevant! Since I'm getting paid, I can invest more time into making these analyses real collaborations with the vendors. So I see my role now as more about helping people reach their safety goals, and a little less about shaming folks for making systems that didn't live up to their claims.

My other motivations--letting users know how to work with the databases they've chosen, and giving case studies to help other engineers test and improve their own systems, well, those are unchanged. :)
Security is only as good as its weakest link.

Case in point, all of my messages in Signal are locked behind a password phrase, which I have to re-enter every time the phone restarts or the app gets updated. I figured it was iron-clad. Until I discovered that the whole password-protected message vault is entirely optional (must've been one of those things I toggled years ago and never looked back). My girlfriend, of course, uses Signal but does not have that turned on, so if they really wanted a record of our communications, all they'd have to do is subpoena her phone instead of mine.
They just also recently acquired Picatic, another vendor in this space. Hopefully that helps with the figures.
I cannot be happier for Eventbrite! What a valuable product. My own startup wouldn't have taken off as fast without Eventbrite. Congratulations!
This was the first full series of novels I ever read. I recall being so enthralled with them that I literally stayed up all night reading a couple of them. I still remember the brilliance of the writing building the suspense toward foundation's first encounter with empire. I hope they can capture some of the magic!
"But that's part of the meme, just as much as Burning Man's principles invite the criticism"

And so is this reply. Essentially any event that has substantially changed from its original form/intent has this conversational pattern:

Old participant: "$event is past it's prime now."

New participant: "Everyone says that, but $event is still popular, and I like it, so they're wrong."

Of the two opinions, only the one from the old participant carries information about how things have changed. Whether this is relevant to a new participant is debatable, but it's certainly relevant to conversations where people try to sell a mass-market event as a niche experience.

Re "Facebook has wholesaled your information": FB does not sell user data (it doesn't need to, it makes so much on ads). CA gained user information on people who installed one of their FB apps whose purpose was to specifically get user data, and additionally because of a shitty choice FB made, it allowed apps like this to also access friends-of-friends data, afaik. Additionally, there was no monitoring in place to detect when an app is mass-downloading user data [through the API]. Overall, I think the most accurate thing to say is that CA was "scraping" user information, saying it like "Facebook has wholesaled your information" is misleading, nothing was "sold" by FB.

It's the discovery mechanism that's unique to Facebook.

Other messaging services: tell someone your username on it (when you ever happen to run into them again, I guess.)

Facebook Messenger: search for their name on Facebook, find the one with the right profile picture, hit "send message."

Facebook is the modern-day White Pages, except for the entire planet.

And that's the part that makes it so hard to "quit Facebook": you're essentially erasing your entry from said White Pages, so people that want to connect to you by name can no longer do so (unless you're famous enough for Google to pull up your Twitter when people search your name; or you know enough about SEO for people to find your personal-brand website/blog when people search your name.)

Well, I see that you also invoked Hanlon's Razor. I don't know if I want to give these guys that benefit of doubt - I think they genuinely don't care. Mainly because if they did they had those kinds of standards to begin with, I would expect them to also have the kinds of standards that would make it unlikely to be in this line of business.

The generally accepted definition of open source is the OSI definition. OSI also audits and keeps a list of software which qualifies under that definition, which is accepted as the canonical list of open source licenses by everyone. Even if OSI is not your cup of tea (they're a very netural organization, so I don't see why anyone would protest their authority), the FSF is another venerable organization that provides a similar definition of open source and maintains a similar list of open source licenses. You would be hard pressed to find any other respected authority which defines open source in a manner consistent with the Commons Clause.

It's deliberately misleading people to ape this terminology to promote software which does not guarantee the fundamental freedoms of open source. If you want to use a proprietary license, own up to it, don't try to get the mindshare of open source when you aren't.

Caleb,
I'm working on a project with a similar architecture (on-prem services). I'm curious what your auth-pattern looks like as it's something we've struggled with. Mostly the balance between being convenient and being secure. It seems like each site needs an api key to access your cloud. Do you have an auth-pattern that would prevent the key from being readily available to an attacker who got access to the machine? Or do you kinda just say if they get access to the machine, then it's game over? Also with shoddy networks it is difficult to be confident that key-rotation will happen successfully. Happy to get your thoughts. Cheers.
