The Damore piece was blatantly filled with dog whistles and bunk science claims (specifically drawing a bunch of correlations) while also ignoring the history of software development / computer science as a whole.

It should be telling that after the fact he chose to idolize the KKK and proceeded to dox a bunch of Google employees for incredibly tame remarks in his class action lawsuit (of which I saw many images make the rounds in the alt-right media centralizing said information for obvious reasons).

Regardless his memo which he chose to release internally caused a massive divide among employees a Google. If Damore was kept on I imagine you would've saw a lot of talent proceed to leave the company. Additionally it's funny that you bring that up, considering there are a lot of people on the left that work at Google and feel like their views are being stymied.
Depends on how you look at it. The way I see it I would be quite reasonable to start a few droplets / instances in every region Digital Ocean / AWS support and have websockets terminate there. I'd could even assume this is what Fanout/comparable service is currently doing.

From the cloudflare side I'd assume that each edge has 1 > n <= 10 of the CF version of this https://www.top-ix.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Open-Conne... . Imagine CF had 100s to 1000s of these at every edge - they could/would then offer either DO sized droplets or AWS Fargate sized containers at every edge with CF load balancing, and we could be installing Pushpin on every edge. And it wouldn't sound odd. This seems like it's just a logistics problem - it's not inconceivable that 2020 / 2023 birthday week will announce this. (@CF you should totally call each droplet/instance a 'Flare')

In the meantime the Workers seems like a way to offer highly controlled computing on these edges - but other than the tighter control of the executing environment I see no difference from the scenario mentioned above. So if all the load balancing, connection handling and deployment pieces are already in place, I think we can and should try to use it for any possible use case that we would have used regular servers for.

When I bought a device from team-xecuter for my xbox 360, they placed a bar code and serial number on the packaging. You could then go to a site they had and check the serial number to verify if it was real. I did and the site verified I had a real product. I don't recall if the serial was on the product as well or just the box. But in looking it up just now I see that according to team-xecuter there was an issue with a script and the site was returning genuine product as fake and visa versa occasionally . Also it was stated that it cost approx. one hundred dollars a month to run the service so I guess the fact that they mentioned that shows that a small company might have a hard time verifying their product if it means less for their bottom line.
You won't see this story in the Washington Post.
So I tried to sell a Microsoft Xbox One on Amazon once, and it required me to verify that I am an authorized reseller. Why don't they just do this for every merchant selling any brand?
I use those NICs for point-to-point connections but note that they’re not true Connectx3 cards (don’t ask me why they have that name), they need the kernel drivers from the the Connectx2 branch.
Nice! My 2 cents would be to charge a cheap rate for idling time and the regular rate for CPU execution. Or maybe use bandwidth as a proxy for CPU usage and an overall connection time charge.

>A whole world currency that is potentially immune to
inflation and government manipulation.

But completely exposed to private manipulation - malicious coders inserting backdoors into wallets which allow theft of users funds, weak private keys that are later regenerated by the dev, and so on.

Or manipulation from exchanges which generate counterfeit accounts and fake volume in order to steal BTC from the market before they exit scam like most of the exchanges in the past have.

What do you think about Tether and "stable coins" being generated by the billions for free (and then those operators using the counterfit stablecoins to steal BTC/XMR/ETH)?

https://medium.com/@bitfinexed

The common theory is that Bitfinex, Tether, and most of the Cryptocurrency exchanges are operating as fractional reserve banks - and creating more cryptocoins for free, meanwhile "buying" Bitcoin, Monereo, Ethereum, and so on for free because they operate in the dark.

If this is true, it's worse than real central banking, and it's quiet possible Bitfinex and other exchanges have stolen the vast majority of BTC in circulation.

Protections for Customer Funds Are Often Limited or
Illusory. Generally accepted methods for auditing
virtual assets do not exist, and trading platforms lack
a consistent and transparent approach to independently

platforms are responsibly holding their customers’
virtual assets as claimed.

I looked up and Ando moved to Japan in 1933. Taiwan was under Japanese rule between 1895 and 1945. So in a strict sense, he wasn't an immigrant. Many Koreans also moved to Japan when Korea was under Japanese rule.

Many returned to Korea after Korea gained independence. But many also stayed. One of the descendants of these Korean-Japanese is Masayoshi Son, founder of Softbank.

I've read some interview of him when he discussed his early years. He recalls riding in the back of a hand cart pulled by his parents (or grandparents) who were going around town in Japan, picking up discarded food trash from trashcans outside homes/restaurants to feed to the pigs. Remember, there was no disposal unit in kitchen sinks, so food trash was thrown into trash. This was early 1960s, as he was born in 1957. It was probably one of the worst ways to make a living, but as a Korean-Japanese, that was about what they could do.

Many were blocked from getting a job in the Japanese corporations, which is one of the reasons many Pachinkos in Japan are owned by Korean-Japanese, or so I heard.

Masayoshi Son specifically recalled having a hard time getting a business loan, until a sympathetic Japanese banker gave him that loan.

Certain irony for sure. Coming from Korean-Japanese family who was considered lowest, to be 2nd richest Japanese citizen.

Btw, while looking up facts, I just discovered another Korean-Japanese who is one of top 20 richest individuals, Chang-Woo Han. Never knew that.

Ahh, the wonders of internet.

EDIT:

Clicked on of the links in the wiki and found this article

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/02/16/national/sons-r...

Son was born in 1957 to Korean parents in a flood-prone area of Saga Prefecture, where poor Korean immigrants lived in a cluster of shacks, many by keeping pigs in the house and making bootleg alcohol, according to “Ampon,” a biography of Son by journalist Shinichi Sano.

In the book, interviews with Son’s relatives shed light on his upbringing. His cousin recounts how he often caught a preschool-age Son “studying like nobody’s business while he was soaked up to his knees in a shack full of floodwater smelling of feces.”

His early dwelling was miserable, and his Korean descent made him a target for discrimination, overshadowing his early years. But Son’s determination probably surfaced in his early teens, his biographers say.

Sano, for example, describes interesting episodes in which Son transferred, in the middle of his first semester in junior high school, to a more reputable school at his own wish and did all the paperwork himself. In another episode, a 15-year-old Son, now in high school, asked his third-year homeroom teacher from junior high to a restaurant and begged him to become the president of a cram school he planned to set up. The teacher turned him down.
> but the concept of domain authority doesn't exist.

I would argue that it does.

I spent 3-4 years deep in the blackhat SEO world - it was my living, and it almost completely was dependent on free subdomains because they ranked _so much better_ than fresh purchased domains.

Let's use a real world example.

Insert free dynamic dns service here - you create a subdomain on one of their 25-100 domains, provide an IP address for that subdomain and.. whala, spam site.

So let's say we've now got spam-site-100.free-dynamic-dns-service.com - it's a record is pointed to my host, I'm serving up super spammy affiliate pages on it. I don't build links to it, that takes too much time and investment... instead I just submit a sitemap to google and move on.

That's the short story. The long story is that I built hundreds of thousands of these sub domains for each service of this type I could find, on every one of the domains they made available. Over the course of time it became clear that the performance (measured in google search visitors) was VASTLY different based on the primary domain... to the point that I stopped building for all of them and focused on only a handful of highly performant and profitable domains.

I eventually stopped all of this because it caught the attention of some of the major retailers - I was out ranking jcpenny on their own products on subdomains/pages that had only been published for a couple days. They contacted my affiliate programs, you can imagine where that led. (I don't want to in any way impress that _every_ subdomain or page ranked that well - but it happened enough that it caused serious problems and I left the spam SEO world)

If domain authority is a myth, 1) why did my pages ever get any visitors with no links? 2) Why was the performance so vastly different dependent on the primary domain?

Also - this is still the case today. I'm still in Skype group chats with people who are still doing this same thing. It's always a cat and mouse game with google's spam team, but at the end of the day the same stuff still works.

I think there’s a distinction between skills that you think would be cool to have (like learning a language), and areas that you feel drawn to.

I realise this is a difficult thing for most people to tap into. But I’ve thought about this, and I think that most of my “obsessions” have come about after seeing someone else doing something poorly, and thinking to myself “I bet I could do better than that.” If I follow that initial curiosity through, it often turns into a full-blown obsession.

New York isn't so much fixing it as adapting to a long-term future with fewer, slower, less predictable trains. Their only hope is a multi-decade-scale IT project (positive train control) which is to say, they have no hope.

Adapting to worse mobility is also a thing you can do with roads. Drive slower over the potholes, close the lanes that are too far gone, revert to gravel if need be.

I guess you could say that dense cities are so singular and compelling, people will be willing to put up with poor mobility in exchange for the other opportunities they provide. Whereas exurbia is so abundant and generic, people will flee to an equivalent municipality with better mobility.

Strong Towns' message is more compelling for very small towns, which could be entirely walkable. Then there's no transportation infrastructure needed. People can walk on anything. But for small and mid-sized cities, it has some weaknesses.

Just you wait. Give it couple decades. Someone will figure it out. Someone will print memes on a reconstructed matrix printer, using handmade ribbons and authentic 1980s paper exported from Japan. Or something of that sort. Maybe a custom-made computer just to show a single meme? Pretentiousness is a powerful force.

I don't know for sure, but just as I type this I get a sense that someone somewhere manually types ASCII art on a typewriter and sells it for tons of cash.

If you end up being right, though, it would be a good thing. It would mean memes will have won against pretentiousness. It would mean the Interned made something post/modern art Borg cube couldn't assimilate.
The idea behind it is that any individual with a claim can stand to be reimbursed for their damages more if their arbitration claim is won than if they got 0.70$ for being a class-member.

Lamborghini makes a family friendly Urus; guess it's just a quick family car brand too.

And the Urus manages to be even more flagrant brand engineering since it's an Lamborghini version of a Porsche Cayenne, which is just an Audi Q7, all based off an VW Touareg.

If there's a current Porsche vehicle hurts their brand, I think it's the Panamera. All their other vehicles are either sportiest in class or best in class, but typically both; the Panamera is neither.

But Porsche haven't gone anywhere near full BMW yet, and BMW is still cooler than Maserati and Lexus. I think Porsche's brand value is doing just fine. Not every car manufacturer needs to be McLaren/Ferrari/Lamborghini/Koenigsegg/Bugatti, and arguably, Porsche was never part of that group.
I don't know if I'm reading your comment correctly, sorry if I'm not... but individual commits within a PR are absolutely not a backup. Every commit in the PR has to be a logical unit, meaningful, atomic and stand on its own. The PR, as a high level feature, is just a grouping. But single commits have to be useful and be a history/build up of how high level features are being developed. This granularity is important to logically isolate the changes and make them bisectable among other things.

Actually Rust is clearly both a C and C++ replacement, but C programmers tend to become quite fanatical and for some inexplicable reason C also has a quite decent reputation, so the Rust community is focusing their efforts on the much more controversial C++ instead of attacking the holy cow of C.

I think they've also figured out that with time C will be squeezed into smaller and smaller areas of use, as is already happening.

Writing robust code hasn't really found a space to live in the mental model of C programmers. Using C outside a kernel or existing C project today is professional negligence.
