This reminds me of a takeaway from my failed startup - it's really not realistic to place 100% trust in someone to look after your interests if you are remote.

You need to be there in person to keep an eye on everything, or possibly complain to government relgulators / go to court if need be. If it's all remote and it's not practical to do this stuff in person, you are asking to be taken advantage of.
So, yes.
It's a simple story of mafioso power collusion. Amazon wanted to use bully power, but wasn't strong enough on its own, so Amazon recruited Apple to join. Amazon gets to rob the marketplace, and Apple gets "protection" and and an advantage against the mutual competitors Amazon attacks.

> You have a problem that is unconstrained, with infinite variables

I'm not sure this is correct. I come from the optimal control world. The problem is not unconstrained and definitely does not have infinite variables (if you think in state-space, consider the state-space equation x' = f(x, u, theta). The x-space (state) is large but finite, and the u-space is fairly small -- steering, gear, brake, etc.). The x-space is also stochastic, and there are many observability issues.

That said, we've been designing control systems against the real world for a number of years now, and the key is not to model all the unknowns (because there will always be something you can never anticipate), but to model the known and safe path that the system can fall back to.

The problem is a complicated one, and it will take more than several attacks to make it work, but it is not by any means an impossible one if you break it down into the fundamentals.
Huh, so its related to the problem of finding the restricted weak compositions of a number.

A composition is an ordered partition. A partition is the set of numbers that sum to a particular number. The 'weak' part allows zeros.

Shard the databases by subreddit and you will be able to horizontally scale the load. Use JS to post to a separate
subdomain for each service. I.E everything under www.reddit.com/r/funny points to funny.reddit.com which can live
as its own independent service.

Internally I would treat reddit as a group of individual high traffic sites instead of one massively trafficked site.
Then you have another service that queries each site to build the main page.

this is terrifying to read, in that this is exactly what the media companies did for the last decade to try, and totally fail, to compete with facebook.

having a unified platform is a competitive advantage.

also your "sharding and subdomains" trick is straight out of 2010 and a mix of irrelevant (everything's sharded now) and anachronistic (h2 is everywhere now).

also-also, you clearly have missed the best use case of reddit, which is to have unsub'd from all/most of the "default" reddits and replaced them with your own customized set.

you are optimizing for everyone reading the same thing (newspaper homepage) not everyone reading their custom thing (social network). that has been a proven losing strategy for a solid decade now, you could argue 2.

I am forced to agree.
The great irony here, is that Reddit is making the same foolish mistake Digg did with a redesign, costing them their entire userbase, and propelling Reddit.

Could this trick be used to improve compression? Since palindromes contain repeated digits by definition, perhaps they are more compressible than the original number? Of course, you'd have three numbers to compress instead of one...

I was born in Europe and lived there for 14 years before moving to US. I went there recently.

I also recently visited LA.....

Most people I know from smaller cities in Poland own cars or would love to own a car but simply cannot afford it as gas is really expensive, so are cars compared to incomes. When I visited I rented a car which allowed me to see so many things all over the country. I would not able to visit so many locations without a car.

Same goes for LA, renting a car allowed me to travel from LA to San Diego on a relatively short trip.

In NY over 50% households are car-free. In Chicago about 30% of households are car-free. People travel to cities for various reasons, often they don't do it daily.

My wife traveled to school by train in city of chicago for one year, then she switched to driving her car, she saved a lot of time on her commute, and didn't have to deal with weirdos on the trains at night.

Cars are here to stay. Some people drive less by utilizing services like amazon but then amazon needs to deliver packages, but, I guess that still minimizes fuel consumption as things are delivered in a more efficient way.
Cardiovascular geneticist/statistician and physician-in-training here: This is a completely bogus and scientifically illiterate review. This small group of people in Sweden keep publishing crap like this and it's frankly kind of annoying.

It's hard to even know where to start with the overwhelming amount of evidence that elevated levels of LDL cholesterol causes cardiovascular disease.

Since I'm a geneticist, I'll point out just a handful of strong genetics-guided experiments:

1) Familial hypercholesterolemia - Mutations in the LDLR Gene causing basically only elevated LDL lead to 10x increased odds for coronary artery disease

2) PCSK9 inhibitors - essentially only reduce LDL concentration, dramatically reduce risk

3) Mendelian randomization techniques - statistical causal inference in massive datasets shows pretty conclusively LDL increases CVD

Yes, LDL cholesterol causes CVD. Yes, there are other factors as well (especially hemodynamics and chronic inflammation).
Heres another way to test your hypothesis that Mozarts genius can be credited to his training and advantage of a musically literate family.

If we applied the same training and familial advantage to many kids would any of them turn out like Mozart?

If he didn't have those advantages would he have been discovered as a prodigy as quickly and as early? Maybe not.

The fact that people walk around their neighborhood also has has an effect in local commerce. Most neighborhoods in European cities have bakeries, coffee shops, clothing stores, pharmacies, etc. Posher areas will have higher end ones, poorer areas will tend to have shittier ones, but in the end you always have your basic needs covered at no more than 10 minutes walk. I found that in the USA it was much more sparse and you'll normally find these things in the typical "strip malls" (which, the first time I heard the name, shocked me as I thought they were taking me to a strip tease show or something). Even bars in strip malls were shocking to me since they'd have to drive there, and drive back, sometimes drunk.
> This may be shocking to people with an American upbringing, but cars (especially privately owned ones) just do not make sense going forward.

You're really looking at this from a very narrow mindset. It isn't going into the city that a lot of Americans really want and need cars, it's heading out of the city.

This may be shocking to people with a European upbringing, but when you have a vast country with lots of open space and beautiful nature, it's super awesome and amazingly freeing to just go wherever you want to on a whim. Wake up Saturday morning - let's head up to that state park with the cool water falls and hike around for the day. 10 minutes later you're on the road and an hour or two later you're surrounded by nature. Real nature too, not some small 10 acre park somewhere.

There's real freedom in being able to go where you want, when you want. It's not just a "convenience" thing.
I recently started working through his collected papers a few months ago and have a really nice hardcover. Wow they are so hard!! Also have read every volume of his lost notebooks back in college. Sometimes when I start a new paper I think: why would anyone ever think of that, who cares anyway, and what does that even mean.

It takes about 10 minutes to read one line. But its worth it cause he was able to create his own path and what he does with formal power series and summing divergent series is staggering to behold
Wow, is this really the case? If so, that is really bad and this is worthy of some of the concern/frustration.
I don't know any particular resources.

I think the core document is the Runtime Architecture[0]. After that, it really helps to know ES7 Observables, which I learned by studying the little implementation that's included in Relay[1], but apparently is also at the core of Angular. Then you can either use the runtime architecture directly, or the pre-built React components that are included in Relay. If you use the pre-built components, you need to understand the division of labor between the QueryRenderer[2], which fetches data from your server and puts it in the store, and FragmentContainer[3] which lets you render data from the store with React.

"But privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are an archaic solution to the transportation problem, and they are not effective in today's society."

Don't assume that every place is like the place you know. Visit the US, particularly the Midwest, and you'll come to understand why privately owned gasoline-guzzlers are the only solution to this particular transportation problem. The major cities are too dispersed with countless small population centers between them for any kind other kind of transportation to provide a feasible solution. It's not a matter of "engaging in democracy."
> it should not be hard to imagine that there is a secure way to conduct elections electronically and through the internet

It's hard to imagine because it's completely impossible. In most of the world not being able to prove you voted for someone in particular is considered a key characteristic of the vote. No internet based voting guarantees this.

> Finally, given how the past few decades have progressed, it seems that you would be on the wrong side of history to say that electronic voting cannot be done safely in a digital form. The process needs to be secure, but it also needs to be convenient, safe, fast, and trustworthy. Observing a few votes being cast in your polling station is nothing compared to observing every vote being cast for a given election.

Throwing around claims of wrong side of history would be just an insult it wasn't so dangerous. Paper voting is not secure because you "observe some votes being cast in your polling station". It's secure because each polling station is staffed by political adversaries that do the count together of every single ballot. This is much better than the level of systematic verification than you can ever even attempt to do to your huge stack of software and hardware. It's also a kind of verification that everyone understands and so it effectively convinces the losing candidates they actually lost. Which is as much of an important characteristic of a voting system as getting good counts.

So get off your high horse. Apparently you design these systems and don't understand the actual safety characteristics of the paper count. The kinds of attack surface electronic systems add is huge and yet they provide no actual advantages to properly run elections. The thread is already full of examples so I won't add more but it's telling that in most of the world this isn't an issue at all because we just run our simple, cheap, reliable and fast process like we've always done and forget about it.
Attorney here! (Not dispensing legal advice, though.)

Not in the US in many cases. Take the Uniform Commercial Code, for example, which requires a written contract for the sale of goods over $500, or agreements creating a security interest.

The reason you haven't seen a phishing website using an EV certificate is because they don't need to even bother with it. They secure their website with regular domain validated TLS, get a domain that looks halfway decent compared to the real one, and users never even look for the extended validation certificate.

Trying to get an incorrect extended validation certificate would just add to the money and risk involved in the campaign. Since users only rarely even check them, you don't even need to bother with it.

It's an ill-conceived solution to a problem which is intrinsically enabled via poor security education and habits. Expecting users who aren't sufficiently diligent to check for slightly incorrect phishing domains to look for slightly incorrect or non-existent extended validation certificates is silly. That's not a categorically different approach to the problem, it's just more of the same to the left of the domain name.

Two parts. I guess as a mid 40s developer I could share what you shouldn’t do and should do based on my experience. I’m also nowhere near Silicon Valley startup or FAANG culture. I have lived in a major metropolitan area for 20 years where there has always been a vibrant job market for developers.

I spent 9 years at a company in the 200x’s that stayed stuck in 2002 - C++, VB6, Perl hosted on IIS, classic ASP, etc. I didn’t know anything about modern development practices. Can you imagine what would have happened if I stayed another 10 years like another developer did? Last I heard they were transitioning to VB.Net and were still using Perl. So yeah, I know first hand what it looks like to let your skills stagnate and find yourself barely marketable.

When I finally left, I took a job as what for all intents and purposes was a junior .Net developer instead of a higher paying position as a C++ developer because I knew the market was moving away from C++ (at least the local market).

I spent the next decade watching the job boards, talking to recruiters and making sure my resume was matching the skills in demands and changing jobs about every two years as I learned all I could from one company and always for nice bump in salary.

I didn’t mean to jump on the “newest” technology just to keep up with industry trends. As much as I love Hashicorp’s Nomad and so used it since it worked with more than just Docker, I would never suggest anyone learn it if they already know kubernetes. That’s where the market is.

So yeah, it is about being able to find a job quickly and being more marketable to employers.

My own m.o. is to be a true “full stack developer/architect”. By full stack knowing a marketable technology on each layer -

- web

- server

- database (RDMS/NoSQL)

- cloud hosting and knowing netops/devops/ and development using their cloud native features.

- continuous integration/deployment best practices.

- and just general best practices.

You don’t have to jump on the new and shiny, the further you go down the stack, the more stable it. Sure things are always being added at each level but you don’t see the rapid changes like you do in JS land.

As far as learning things that pay less, I’m not a strong front end developer. Companies pay me because I can go very deep in the stack and can guide development and architecture from the back end. Web developers are a dime a dozen and pay seems to be stagnating for them. But I still want to learn the latest web frameworks to be more marketable in a pinch even though they are getting paid less than what I make now.

we don't have any numbers on how many of these canned IBM employees actually did this and got canned anyway. Its relevance as a factor is questionable

I wasn’t thinking about keeping thier skills up so they could keep their job at IBM, jobs are disposable and interchangeable if you stay marketable. Someone in technology with marketable skills can have a job before thier next mortgage payment is due if they are either in the right part of the country or are willing to move.

>>> 3. Hardware is hard, even when you don't manufacture it -- refurbishing + firmware modifying ip phones, poe equipment, etc ate into our runway

This is a great point, and brings back so many bad memories. Every phone provisions a little bit differently, and so many settings have unintended side effects. I spent so much runway building a dynamic, generic templating system when we should have just gone to market mostly static coded components customized on the fly.
California is the ultimate example of car dependency. There are many, many other places to live in the US that aren't like that.
I'd be interested to see whether your subordinates agree with that assessment. One of the better programmers I've worked with was promoted to our manager and tried to "keep coding" and it made her one of the worse managers I've had: the team was constantly blocked because her tasks got delayed when she (as is the nature of management) was pulled away for meetings with higher-ups or other unexpected work. In turn that meant there was pressure not to interrupt her when she was at her desk so it was hard to bring problems to her, even though that's a manager's primary responsibility.
It's not a fair comparison though. Yes, the salary is lower, but you can free or almost free healthcare, you get many vacation days, you get vacation money (at least in the netherlands), you get paid time off when sick, more job stability, unemployment benefits, etc.
Spending money on space actually has a very high return for the Earthlings.
I live in Poland and similar experiences have often surprised my friends in US. „How do you go to the gym, buy groceries and get to school/work without a car?”

Well there are six stores (from very small to a supermarket) within five minutes of walking from my apartment. There’s a gym 500 meters away and another 1 km away. Cinema is 10 minutes by metro. A huge park and a forest are also about 10 minutes away each. Density is convenient!
As long as the business logic remains agnostic, the most essential part is okay (for a lot of projects, at least). You talk only about EC2 and Lambda, so I assume you use a "standard" database and you are not using a proprietary one such as Dynamo. (So you are able to change from AWS RDS PostgreSQL to Heroku PostgreSQL for example.)

Typically, I organize my layers of code as such:

Business Logic, Core < Handlers < Front (HTTP routing, sessions/token stuff, ...).

The dependency can only go from the right to the left, so the BL code never gets touched when I decide to add/replace a handler or a frontend.

When you are on AWS Lambda, you code the Front: a glue between your Handlers and the AWS Lambda platform. So the rest of the project can be updated as-is in an ideal case. When you change your cloud provider, you have to rewrite the Front part again. But the layers underneath will be unchanged.

Of course, this is pure theory. In practice, some cases may require you to break this one-way chain for performance or scalability reasons...
