I'm not taking an absolutist view at all. I was asking questions challenging a blanket statement without any supporting evidence that the workers or society or some very broad concept's welfare was improved by removing performance based incentives. I don't even make a positive statement at all.

These incentives are totally and completely voluntarily pursued by the individual workers. It doesn't appear in anyway that these incentives present greater danger or risk to the worker beyond the worker's own choice to increase effort and therefore whatever risk is increased comes from voluntary effort within the confines of the job. Sure, society makes rules around workplace safety (many of which can be reasonably debated) but those are not made in the context of how much effort a worker puts into their role but rather the conditions within which the worker's role places them. The difference here is in the power balance. The view society takes around safety rules is that we don't want a worker coerced into a scenario by the tyranny of their need for wages that is greater than a reasonable level of risk. That's fine, but that's not what's at stake here. These are workers who have opted into roles, in work environments that aren't exorbitantly risky and are then incentivized to increase effort beyond expected baseline with bonuses. The person I responded to claimed that the removal of these was good without any evidence or reasoning. Do you claim that similar performance bonuses in white collar careers are similarly amoral?

I would note that the person I replied to explicitly stated that the removal of performance bonuses was good without stating any evidence for such. In polite societal debate, I've never in my life seen someone suggest that a person stating naked opinions on the benefits or costs of a scenario shouldn't be challenged to provide evidence for their statements let alone seen someone suggest that asking for evidence or reasoning is not only inappropriate but should instead be provided by the challenger. Very strange.
FWIW, cedar-14 stack is Ubuntu 14.04 and that's been the base of Deis Workflow (now Hephy Workflow) for years. We've been meaning to upgrade to Heroku-16 stack (and eventually Heroku-18) but our resources are limited too, and we've had to fight other dragons like getting a website together, and figuring out the build system. (Deis Workflow was EOL'ed last year, and Team Hephy is the fork/continuation of development, which we can do because Deis developers were all gracious enough to keep everything OSS.)

So, back to the point, I'm sure you couldn't deploy your app on Heroku if that's your requirement (because cedar-14 is deprecated, and not available for new deployments anymore) but if you seriously wanted to try containerizing it onto Kubernetes, and if you don't have other obstacles to 12-factor design that you're also not prepared to tackle, then Hephy Workflow v2.19.4 might actually work for you.

I'm sure this probably won't work for you, for reasons you may not have explained, but ... maybe you'd like to look?

I'm not doing a great job selling it, the one redeeming quality I've mentioned is that it runs an outdated stack that you need ;)

How do they make sure their communicator isn't working through the wrong mechanism? It could be tricky to verify that they aren't just flipping the rotate bit when their head gets zapped, or something else noticeable but not interesting.
I don't think you can explain this by simply categorizing people. You can find more than a few stories of nerds being abusive to other people.

I think initially the Internet brought people closer together. It was like ham radio - you could connect with people in a relatively small but very distributed community of hobbyists and experts. Once everyone joined and it became ubiquitous, it's had the opposite effect - it's replaced most of our social interactions but there's an increased anonymity and social separation.

Why exactly do you say Go is backwards to C++ with regards to concurrency and race conditions? Really curious.

I worked on a sizeable C++ codebase, and it had a home-grown, buggy thread-pooling & task cancellation (similar to Go's context.Context) engine. Go's builtin goroutines were a breeze afterwards. Also, I debugged a race condition in this codebase. Once, and it took me a few weeks full steam digging, thinking and mental construction. I didn't even know I have one at the beginning, just had this nagging feeling. (Valgrind would take the app to a crawl, and it was speed-critical.) In Go, I can just run tests with -race flag, and it finds me truckload races at a blink, pointing to the exact place where they happened, with a stack trace sprinkled on top. I really find it hard to understand how you find Go experience backwards here. But I'm also open and listening, and very curious whether I could maybe learn something enlightening!

I was doing research in this area in 2005-2006. Mine was focused on recall of English vocabulary by ESL learners. I chose to explore spacing intervals (a hot topic then). The font disfluency aspect isn't something I had heard of until today. I did a cursory search and found the first mentions of it between 2007 and 2011.

I wish I had proposed using Comic Sans over Arial to improve recall. It would have made my experiments (and analysis turnaround) quicker than a semester. :)

Thanks for the reminder of one of my favorite wiki pages : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future

The timeline for a BB is about 10E(10E50) years, quite a bit of time. But this gets me thinking as well: What kind of mess would that BB be?

Imagine you could actually survive that long, floating out in the black vacuum. In a flash, a BB appears in front of you, spun out of the electrons and dark energy. Over the eons you've figured out how to plug these BBs in and chat with them. But they are mostly just random fictions of physics. Sure, some astronomically small number of these BBs are the Kings of France, but nearly all of them are just gibbering lunatics of random thoughts and memories. I guess, in this manner, all possible versions of us are reincarnated as BBs in the void. The quantum chance of an entire universe winking into being is ~10E(10E(10E56)), so there's a bit of time to expect these things to happen. But God! How boring!
Possibly, but generally the difference is one of power structure. With OSHA, workplace safety laws are put in place to protect workers from the tyranny of their need for wages. People need to work and therefore their workplaces should pose a maximum amount of risk that society defines as reasonable. What's at stake here is not the general safety environment of the employee but rather the amount of effort the employee VOLUNTARILY chooses to exert. Who are we to define how much effort an employee chooses to exert? Who are we to define incentives that encourage a worker to exert more effort? None of this seems reasonable to me.

It seems like it is a problem for these people because they've assumed guilt already. Accusations are not proof in and of themselves. I've got no problem with someone supporting a friend while they're defending themselves, no matter their role in a company.

Won't this get old really quickly? Most of my Javascript files start with 3-4 imports of the form `import React from "react"`, `import { sortBy } from "lodash"`. Having to type out the full path/version for those imports feels like a step backwards in usability, and makes it more likely that I'll end up with mismatched versions of dependencies.
Note there were two versions of Logo for the Apple II. The other was developed by Logo Computer Systems Inc. (I was one of the staff). Our version was written first in Lisp (on Lisp Machines) then manually compiled to assembler. The Lisp development environment included a full 6502 emulator, allowing the developers to execute Logo either at the Lisp level (fast) or to drop down into the instruction level (slow). The emulator also emulated the Apple II's graphics.

Well, that used to be the case. When Facebook employees become as strongly opposed to the shady, borderline criminal, activities of their employer that they themselves (literally) enable through the code they write, then just maybe I'll be inclined to be more sympathetic to their other grievances.
I don't think we're at the point of having a strict definition of 'smart' let alone a system for ranking by it.
Alan Kay was quite inspired by a groundbreaking game series called "Thinkin' Things," which had a visual blocks programming language for controlling and drawing colorful patterns with marching bands, football players, and cheerleaders: "Let's build a halftime show"!

>Alan Kay on "Etoys, Alice and tile programming": "This particular strand starting with one of the projects I saw in the CDROM "Thinking Things" (I think it was the 3rd in the set). This project was basically about being able to march around a football field and the multiple marchers were controlled by a very simple tile based programming system. Also, a grad student from a number of years ago, Mike Travers, did a really excellent thesis at MIT about enduser programming of autonomous agents -- the system was called AGAR -- and many of these ideas were used in the Vivarium project at Apple 15 years ago. The thesis version of AGAR used DnD tiles to make programs in Mike's very powerful system."
Yes, now. But it was not on around 8pm Europe time.
Openshift already provides this experience. It's pretty much your own heroku on k8s.
so you prefer to believe official corporate statements saying they didn’t have security leaks, rather than a news agency with 17 independent sources confirming they had ??

That’s an interesting choice.
". Work is, for me, not a place to get feather-white about politics, I just fix bugs and talk to customers and troubleshoot problems and develop some features and go home. Talk to the coworkers about our kids and what we're doing over the weekend."

What about a stable materialized view (either materialized by SQL that is kept up to date with your source-of-truth tables as they're migrated... or, if necessary, by a custom real-time data pipeline to feed it) to service reads? And an event-based, insert-only schema to service writes?

I'm always inspired by Martin Kleppmann's talk about the architecture his team built at LinkedIn (and subsequently spun off as a separate business): https://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-ou... . An event-sourced system like that, one that can denormalize and transform data in any way that's needed for security and performance, could theoretically support a SQL-like API. It could even support exposing SQL-like triggers for real-time updates to untrusted clients (or, in LinkedIn's case, practically limitless internal teams).

With chat being your domain, it's possible that event sourcing into a SQL database would be a great paradigm match for you. I've seen it work wonders.
Citation needed. This makes no sense. There's always going to be heterogeneity in output per worker in every role. Amazon pays for a baseline of expected output and wants to ensure that within a role they can manage to capture those workers whose productivity will exceed that. To do so, they provide performance bonuses. Not everyone will get the performance bonuses. Amazon is willing to pay the bonuses because the increased output is worth the increased cost. This race to the bottom isn't at all aligned with reasoning and could only happen in a monopsony which Amazon is obviously not.

For white collar roles, we don't claim performance tied compensation will lead to this, but you do here. Why?
Why does that matter at all? How do you know the CIA didn't use Chinese spies to do this? Although from a different agency, the motto "Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach" is telling.

I entirely agree with you, such statements can be found in every one of the secession declarations. Unfortunately, those documents don't make their way into discussions involving the history of slavery and the Civil War on the right.
Well, outrage could be reduced by not doing outrageous things like the entire Kavanaugh appointment process (or indeed the non appointment of Garland).

The culture war works both ways. Until someone reins in the provocation culture the outrage will continue.

When it comes to Fortune 500 companies, I think employees are looking for their employers to display the types of values they hold in their actions. Whether that means removing support for conflict minerals, fair wages, etc.

In all, its understandable. Americans tie their occupation to their identify, but I think we are starting the encroach upon the limits of these expectations.

I think the critism of Kaplan is fair not only because he's an executive at Facebook, but because he's their top policy guy and Facebook as been railroaded by the right because of suspicion of bias. It's obviously within his will to show support for his friend, but as someone who I'd think has a feel for politics this was a terrible political/optical move. Especially to be within camera shot of Kavanaugh.

An answer, by analogy-

If you yell into a microphone, the recording will come out distorted and inaccurate. Yet if you speak normally into one, the recording will sound rather true to life. This is because the microphone has been tuned to a certain level of sensitivity, and when that threshold is exceeded, what it records is clipped.

A similar principle holds for many types of human tests in education, psych, etc.
CSP can be implemented with Actor model and rather trivially. You can think of an actor as a programmable channel. But not the other way around. Because you can't implement unbounded nondeterminism with bounded.

It seems hard to believe that Bloomberg would publish this article if it's completely untrue, but it's also hard to believe that Apple and Amazon would both issue comprehensive denials of pretty much every single claim of the article unless the article was in fact untrue.

At this point I'm leaning towards believing Apple and Amazon, because it seems more likely that Bloomberg got it wrong than for Apple and Amazon to blatantly lie about this. But I'm really curious why Bloomberg went ahead and published this article if Apple and Amazon told them for months that it was wrong. What was their source and why did they trust it so much?

not a criminal trial, standards of evidence don't apply.

That, at least, is a problem that cab be solved by tightening security at supplier site.

The safeties are mainly to guard against the rest of the world. For example it prevents tampering in transit, or even in our own company - disgruntled employee can't do anything.

Or think for a second about the fact that we leave the device for, hopefully, entirety if its life at the client site. We had clients that were shady businesses like strip clubs that no other companies would touch with a stick.
There's no sentence or prosecution here, it's a job appointment. I'm unclear why there is apparently only one candidate and we can't just have someone less controversial.

Guilt isn't the whole problem here. Ramming through a life-long political operative who can't help but lie and show extreme partisanship during testimony, and running a sham coverup for an investigation, are the problem. I'd be pissed if a high-level executive in charge of policy of my company showed support for that.
If you’re looking for a connection between the civil war and modern US politics, I recommend reading about what happened immediately after the war, rather than immediately before. That period is called the Reconstruction, and it failed miserably, in a way that deeply shaped the political landscape, and still does to this day.

The buildup to the war was about slavery. The aftermath of the war was about what we replaced slavery with... and it’s not pretty.

Here’s an article with a few book recommendations to get you started. https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2015/04/25/seven-books-reco...

I personally recommend “Reconstruction, America’s Unfinished Revolution” by Eric Foner. It’s a solid read but well worth it in my opinion.
Would like to see a wrapper generator around C# libraries so they could be easily be loaded into node.js

That would make all sort of integrations between legacy systems with existing C# support libraries and newer lighter node.js projects work without jumping through crazy marshaling hoops.

"Some databases (Postgres comes to mind) are better at letting you express this as a query which builds the structure using JSON functions in the SELECT part of the query. But it's not even close to ideal."

Depending on which version of postgres you have(Want to say pre 9.5.) it can be a pain. There are various functions that allow a JSON output and another to make it human readable. With regards to performance I couldn't say but I imagine it would not be as fast as GraphQL.
I would fully expect some government sites to require client certs. Some DNS registrars also required client certs in addition to 2FA. Some payment systems also require them in addition to IP restrictions.
The first third of "Battle Cry of Freedom" is very good with respect to that.
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
None at all. I'm not saying it is the CIA. But it isn't like they do't have a history of wanting to spy on anyone they could.
See my edit. I'm not dismissing them, but the range of cases where they're the correct tool over a REST API, GraphQL, or something else... is very narrow.
