Ah, of course. Thank you for helping me realize what should have been painfully obvious. (but seriously, though, thank you)
Good move for both companies. The surplus of 'enterprise hadoop' companies was created by a mixture of hype and a peak in VC investment in open source.

The fact that Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR were all founded and raised $100m+ around the same time was a bit superfluous for the whole market.

Hard to say where this leaves MapR now. They seem to be the odd man out in terms of growth and adoption.

My wife and I did 23andMe years ago (on the original chip). I think we paid $100 each. It came up with "not much interesting" for me but one risk factor for my wife that was significant enough to prompt a behavior change.

I consider it worthwhile, even for me - "no news is good news".
CORS is not necessarily about third parties.

It's common to have app.example.org point to a CDN and api.example.org point to an API.

And CORS implementation is terrible. The server has to transmit validation rules for the browser to enforce (with vendor specific caching differences), rather than just enforcing access itself.

The reason it's implemented this way is because of the organic evolution of web security.
It's very bad. The US is an outlier when it comes to developed countries. It's closer to third world levels.

I worked at both Google and Facebook. They both have very strong security teams and security procedures, but at the same time have a very high profile and a lot of hackers targeting them. Both companies have security failures frequently, but most of those failures are small enough that you wouldn't know about them unless you went looking.

I think the biggest difference is that Facebook stores much more sensitive personal data, and stores more of it in a complicated product with a large surface area of possible vulnerabilities. In the search engine part of Google, the vast majority of data isn't even private. There's no point to hacking into Google search. Gmail does contain personal data, but it has far less surface area than the Facebook product. With Facebook, almost every new feature involves your personal data in some way, so all of those features have some security risk.

There is also a related selection bias. If a service gets hacked, you might or might not hear about it. But if there is something like the communications of celebrities that are now made public, or the social media account of a celebrity that a hacker posted a message to, it's just much more exciting news than your average vulnerability. The nature of Facebook's product means that Facebook security issues often have this kind of highly-visible outcome.

This is how grocery unions (like UFCW) operate. There isn't a lot of debate about health and safety, mostly thanks to government agencies. Most of what the union does is operate the health insurer, and push for pay raises & fewer pay scale steps.
This article is off the reservation. 5G is the best hope for actual competition in broadband. By dramatically decreasing deployment costs (compared to wireline), it will enable several competing providers in places that have de facto monopolies today. Putting up red tape is not the way to go about fostering competition.

There are differing views on the appropriate level of regulation for uncompetitive markets and natural monopolies. But almost nobody sane would prefer a regulated market to an actually competitive one. Deregulation of industries like trucking, air freight, and airlines, where there are several competing providers, has proven to be a massively positive thing compared to how things were in the 1930s-1960s. 5G offers that possibility here--the possibility to abandon hairy questions about how to regulate because competitive obviates the need to regulate. Opposing that is madness.
The deal was $750 million cash and $2 billion in resources (whatever that means). Looks like it was more to get resource commitments for the launch... And cash because why not.
I think a large part of the reason for giving money to a company like 23andMe is speculative; you are expecting that widespread genetic testing will result in us (as a society) learning a lot more useful info than we know now, and towards that end you want to see private sector companies like 23andMe succeed. If all we ever got out of it was what 23andMe (and their competitors) can give us now, it would not be worth it. But, sometimes you need some "foolish" early adopters to get the ball rolling. Plus, there is some entertainment value. If you would not find it either satisfying to know that you helped this industry get going, or interesting to know about the ancestry stuff, it will not (at this point) be worth it.
> Couldn’t the floor be a bit higher?

Sure, but that's what actually happens over time. First airbags are introduced, then we get some evidence that they actually work, more manufacturers introduce them and we get even more evidence, then eventually the law requires them.

It's necessary to be deliberative before mandating things because not everything is a good idea, e.g. automatic seatbelts in the 90s.
There's certainly a component of homegrown to it - it wouldn't be possible otherwise to stir people's emotions up with propaganda otherwise.

Are you aware of the growing list of evidence that the Mueller investigation has already uncovered, along with the people close to Trump have already been charged with crimes, etc? Likewise regarding Cambridge Analytica and what services they offered to people, to get governments/politicians into power - including admitting on video that they're willing to lie?

From my view point, Bernie Sanders would have gotten more support and votes than Hilary - who to myself, felt like more of the same. There are many systems that have issues with how they are designed to function or function.

We don't and perhaps can't ever know how much influence Putin (or other less obvious bad actors) had on the elections - however, I hope you'd agree that we should try our best to prevent that kind of manipulation from happening?

American policy is more hostile to Russia, as is more of the world's, in part as economic punishment for bad behaviour, no? The parts of the world and society that behave well then work together.
What you say is true enough, but, BUT, I'm guessing that you have not used nor worked with LISP or a LISP-like language yet, so here is the counterpoint essay to your essay:

http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

I'm not submitting this because I'm trying to be mean or anything, I'm trying to offer you an expanded viewpoint which might assist you in whatever development goal you might establish for yourself.

Now, usually when this essay is criticized, the criticism comes in the form of "Viaweb was written in LISP but when it was sold to Yahoo they converted it to C++ because nobody there could understand it".

To which I have to say:

"Exactly".

Not understanding LISP and LISP-like languages and criticizing them is like understanding BASIC and shell scripting and criticizing C++, without knowing C++.

In other words, there's something there.

Also, you might want to read Joel Spolsky's essay: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s... and read point #9: "Do you use the best tools money can buy?"

I as a programmer, like you, can use any programming language or tool to get any job done, but inferior tools, unclean code, complexity, and ambiguous requirements documents cost me something which is far too valuable to spend, and that is my TIME. If an employer wants to pay for that, great, but my opinion is that if you can save time without losing software quality, then whatever you can do to do that is worth it.

But, it's just an opinion.

I never liked the "be sure to make backups" and have "and be sure to test" as an afterthought (or "added corollary" in this case :-). Most ppl ignore the afterthought.

I taught my students "You don't need a backup system. You need a _restore_ system." It changes the mindset from "Yes, we make backups every night" to "Yes, we can restore the database in x hours".

I've seen way too many companies take the "we're good; we make backups" only to fail when trying to restore.

Do you find your city government to be very responsive to your desires? Maybe it actually is in small towns, but in larger cities, the government basically does whatever it wants on niche issues like this, with no real oversight.
Thanks for the reply! This gave me a lot to look into.
SLZ is cool, but the specific question jyzg raised and my comment is talking about is whether or not any standards should spell out something like "don't use enormous window sizes with the [still hypothetical] zstd Content-Encoding, to avoid causing problems for small-memory clients decompressing your responses." This comes up because zstd (unlike gzip) lets you set your window to be GBs if you want (look for "long-range match finder" in https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases if you want more context); those window sizes would, of course, not be ideal on a low-end smartphone, for example.

Before you abandon the idea of unions, you should keep in mind that the situation in regards to unions in the US is fucked up in a rather unique way.

So a much less radical approach of simply copying what other countries do, should work just fine much more reliably.

Truss – Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer – San Francisco or REMOTE |
Particularly interested in Javascript and Python developers, as well as Designers and Content Strategists/UX Writers at this time.

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors, and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government, and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about:
* Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing
* The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy
* Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools
* Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc.
* Experience deploying at least one application that other people use
* Have held at least one engineering position post-education
* Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

It really depends on what I'm predicting. U-Turn on Lando wins a surprising number of options:

* Beats Koko Volt-Switch: Lando is immune, so Koko fails to switchout.

* Beats the Koko Uturn: Lando is slower, as the 2nd U-Turner you capture the switching momentum.

* Beats the Koko Thunderbolt: Its prediction-on-top-of-predictions going on here, but this happens sometimes.

* Beats the Koko Hard-Switch: Hey, maybe they thought your Lando was scarf'd so they hard switch out.

--------

* Loses to HP-ice: This is the "obvious move" for Koko to do, and will happen more often than not. But as you go up the ranks, people start going for 2nd tier or 3rd tier mind-games, and you see fewer and fewer "obvious moves", especially in the early game where momentum is such a big deal.

It really depends where you are on the ladder: how stupid or aggressive you think your opponent is and all that.
There are smaller around here, like those smart cars and a few other two door sedans, but it's definitely on the smaller end here. Probably average size for the UK from what I've heard?
Citation needed. Per wikipedia and the sources linked there, the London Tube only sees 1.4 billion riders a year, and has a budget of approximately 12 billion pounds (or roughly 15.6 billion USD), for a per-dollar approximate cost of roughly $11.14/rider/year.

It seems like MTA manages to do more with less. If you just want to compare subways (NYC vs LU), the numbers still favor the MTA.

So yeah, implying that the MTA is underfunded works just fine. In fact, based on the experience the LU has been having, I'd argue that the LU is also underfunded for its ridership and that both systems could use more support.
Why? Are the workers completely and totally incapable of deciding for themselves what the proper tradeoff between increased income and whatever decreased health comes from working harder?? What is your calculus that helped you arrive at it being the case that the now former monetary incentives' value was outweighed by the decrease in worker health that you have perceived?
For what it's worth, and as someone who worked at both places, Facebook does these things pretty much the same way as Google does.

Calling poles public, and accessible to "everyone" is only true on a technical level. Practically speaking, companies have a financial interest in preventing others from using the public poles and they succeed in this.

Often, occupants of a pole can delay others from using the public pole for years at a time. We see this with competing internet providers tying up pole access for new-comers in court. On top of that, existing users of the pole can layout their cables such that new-comers would have to invest in re-positioning, which then also happens on the existing users schedule. This can also tie up the pole for years at a time. Embedding cabling along the roadside has similar issues, and depending on the timing, new-comers may have to incur the cost of repaving the entire section of road they use, not just the routing area.
The autonomous driving companies are aiming to change this headline to "People driving cars killed 37,133 other people", this is similar to the argument that "Guns kill people", isn't it?
True, deploying stuff in an actual Unix environment while ignoring need of these tools is the perfect recipe for unstable setups.

Crop insurance for one thing: https://www.rma.usda.gov/pubs/2011/vegetable_growers.pdf

At the 75% coverage level the government pays 55% and the farmer pays 45%. Lower coverage levels get a higher subsidy.

But really it’s a smorgasbord of options.
Nothing to do with the USDA. You share a business with your parent, they're going to keep writing their name on things until you have a very uncomfortable conversation where you point out to them that really it's your business now and they work here.

Unless there is some sort of blowup, or an ER visit, you're not going to be in any kind of hurry to see the look on your mom/dad's face when they realize you're right. Or how angry they get if they refuse to see reason.
Look for two pieces of advice here that contradict each other. Find someone who knows you well and ask which one applies to you.
If your question is not directed specifically at OP, and is "if you live close to the US/Canadian border...", I can answer since OP hasn't. Being a few hours from the border in WA state, we don't think a thing about crossing the border. It takes time (an hour or more, depending), and as a U. S. citizen I find it ironic that coming back is often more hassle than leaving, but we otherwise don't think much about it except for the time needed.

Flynn seems to have stalled, unfortunately. It was a pretty straightforward setup, and I got apps running on there rather quickly. There's still no real support for letsencrypt, which is kind of a killer.

Dokku has no support for clustering, but it's amazingly simple to set up and start deploying apps. (Digital Ocean has a pre-built and up-to-date image ready to go.) I like it for the heroku-style buildpack deployment, although it also has dockerfile-based deployment. Great little system for low-risk projects.

> But it also means the company becomes very adversarial with their work-force

This is due to a combination of lack of social safety net and lack of worker representation.

In the places where unions are noted for being "good", the government covers the social safety net and workers unions are given board seats as well as stock.

This keeps everybody's goals aligned.
I love CORS. I wouldn't be able to provide the level of security with my API that I do because of it. Without CORS, I don't believe my API design would be practically possible due to the security risks.

If I have access to the Fetch API, I can tell the browser to send the user's cookie cross-origin and I can validate the request based on the origin. This allows for interesting authentication scenarios without the need for explicit client-user consent pages.

Our maximum lifespan may not have changed much, if at all. But that’s not to delegitimise the extraordinary advances of the last few decades which have helped so many more people reach that maximum lifespan, and live healthier lives overall.

The benefits of some of those advances are questionable at best. Those who have visited a nursing home may know what I'm talking about.

Spending the last decade of your life commuting to doctor's offices (or bedridden) ain't no picnic, nor is rotting away in a forgotten corner of a human warehouse.
