>The page doesn't seem to imply that the price for 25+ users would scale linearly; for that they have a "Contact Us" call to action for negotiating pricing.

I confirm that! It is just a specific offering for a small project where 25 people team use our editor. It's a fair price (covers granting the commercial license, the right to use / change / hide our code, enterprise support, maintenance, warranties, indemnifications, etc). For bigger projects we always try to implement a licensing scenario that works well for a given customer. Contact us and we will do our best to craft you an optimal plan.
> This is an incredibly subservient, defeatist attitude.

It's reality if you use a smart phone or own a tablet, or are around others that do. Do your friends and family own one? Do you not own and use a smart phone? You know the device that tracks your location and pushes your data to the cloud. Pretending that doesn't exist is just another instance of cognitive dissonance. Besides what happens when people take a picture of you? They post it to the cloud along with datetime and location data, and even names.

A lot of people who value convenience above all do not realize what they are trading it for. Many of these people don't even realize that's what they value most. It's hard not to be in that category if you use almost any kind of cloud connected service. I'm only making blissfully ignorant people aware of it. Maybe you should reexamine the digital aspect of your own life before strongly judging me.

> I do not allow devices like Alexa into my home.

What about Siri, Google, or Kortana? Siri is on both iPhones and Macs now. Kortana is on every Win 10 machine. Google Assistant / Ok Google is on Chrome OS and Android.

Do you own any IoT device? Even if they don't have a mic or camera, they can still track you and your habits.

> "He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security."

I'm not sure how I've traded my liberty on this one. It's not like I voted for a Patriot Act, where I don't have a choice on what I'm willing to share.

> Letting them just hook in is positively insane. If I have my own cameras, and a burglary takes place, I will share that part of the video with the local police.

They don't "hook in". It's just NextDoor for Ring owners where it's easier to share video with other Ring owners and now police. You CAN pick and choose what you want to share on Ring Neighborhood. That's how it works. Again no one is forced to even join Ring Neighborhood and you pick and choose what you want to share. Most importantly, even after you join - you can opt out at anytime.

People now have a better chance of getting police to deal with people who steal their packages.
$160K tax free is more like $300K in California.
This is true, but from what I've read it is only true for places that are small scale and local. Anything large scale, like feeding a city, would benefit greatly from a reduction, or elimination, of animal products.
Is there a source for this claim?
TIL. I always wondered if there was a name for this phenomenon.
I agree with that, but apparently they're not even able to correctly copy a 5-letter word, I'd say that relaying sensitive info (like the location of an assassination target) is a little more prone to making errors. Plus, the article mentions that at the beginning the mercenaries were given totally inadequate weapons, I find that's kind of related to the organizational mess.
Anyone with half a brain could tell this was a bare-minimum effort that you shouldn't trust with your information.
Honestly, it's probably no different than anyone else controlling for skill set. They're just people.
The movement when a movement stop being about equal rights is when there is a legitimate other side.

Feminism had a time when it wall called equality feminism with the goal of promote the legal status of women as equal and undifferentiated from that of men. It was during this time many countries abolished and changed laws that distinguished between men and women, such as spousal support, divorce laws and custody of children, and more. Here in Sweden practically all such laws was abolished during this time, but then the 1980s and 1990s brought about a new focus in popular feminism called difference feminism and the idea of the gender being undifferentiated was abandoned. The feminist movement stopped working to remove such laws and is now considering that laws that favor women to be important to balance power between the sexes.

The common dismissed and ridiculed mens right movement is usually on "the other side" of the feminism movement. A common mens right argument is that the choice in pro-choice and planned parenthood should be applied to both men and women. Consent to parenting does not start from conception they say, and request that the choice given to women is made into a human right as far as possible. The feminist movement generally disagree.

Taking a look at other equal rights movements, laws that give special treatment to minorities based on religion has often a "other side" arguing that special treatment should be applied as a human rights or not at all. Such laws are never made into human rights, and thus we have members of Missionary Church of Kopimism and Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster trying to achieve this special status of equal rights among religions and rarely succeeding. As the side who is arguing for human rights they are sadly the "other side" to the more established equal rights for (popular) minority religions.

If you dislike the term "mens violence against women" and prefer to address the issue as domestic violence then you are sexist. Similar if you use the term "immigrants sexual violence against women" instead of talking about social economic status creating crime then you are a racist. They say that White Privilege is a good term while Black Crime is a bad term, and naturally this is what distinguish the correct political view and the wrong one.

Bring the laws and discussion back to be undifferentiated by gender, religion, race or ethnicity. Pure human rights. Such discussion should have no legitimate other side but for now most equal rights do not request this and thus the other side is very much legitimate.
They grabbed it out of harmony.

> The echos are getting louder

These mercenaries are closer to Crassus hiring legions to fight a foreign war moreso than Caesar or Sulla marching on Rome. American firepower is predominantly state owned and loyal to its civilian leadership. These mercenaries are a liability because they make America look bad, not because they pose even an intermediate threat to American military power.
>If your site needs several different CDN’s to load it’s assets, for seemingly no reason then I generally leave; unless I need something from that particular page, in which case I give it about 2 or 3 goes of playing “which CDN serves the information I actually care about?”.

>Any domain you use that isn’t obviously yours or a CDN or obviously related to what’s on the page (web stores get to load shoplift for example) is blocked because assume it’s just another advertising/analytics company.

I'll generally agree with you (for the most part). With the exception of using a CDN to serve static assets that I control (like amazon s3 for instance), I have no issues with you or anyone else blocking all requests that they don't like! (and hell, i'm fine with you even blocking first party requests, but since you are the one doing it you'll know that it is the reason the site breaks).

> Sites that load the DOM and contents into memory, but display a blank page until I unblock a bunch of JS are my pet peeve, and I make a note to never return to them.

But I'm talking about applications, not static web pages or documents. Complaining that an application needs a programming language is like refusing to turn on any computer that runs any code at all. The code is the application, and if you don't want to run JS, then you don't want to use the program. (outside of viewing some static assets like images, or possibly the minimal DOM put into the HTML for bootstrapping, there's literally nothing else).

>The carté Blanche approache is used because it’s faster and easier for me to find the minimal set of domains and resources to load than it is to get every website out there to not stuff their site full of trackers and unnecessary JS.

Again, I'm more than happy to let you block what you want, i'll even help support your use case if you want and it's possible.

But when you take your approach, and you start making a large percentage of the web use it, and you auto-update their browser plugins to use your approach so that things that were once working yesterday are now broken, and users don't have any real reason or understanding why. Or even worse, you begin making wild assumptions about why I need data backed by nothing but scaremongering (displaying warnings like "this site is trying to track you" when I give the option of offering the app in multiple languages...), then we have a problem.

Like all of the software that runs power plants, defense systems, medical records? You make a good point, accidentally, that no, in fact most systems that become large and complex aren't re-written.

I believe the difference is this is BuzzFeed News, not BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed News, from what I understand, is fairly solid. BuzzFeed itself keeps the lights on, because hard hitting news doesn't.
Waiting forward for the Chrome extension. I'd rather not have another app open all the time / or open it each time I want to add a bookmark.

Meanwhile, I'd find helpful a shortcut for the 'Capture' command – ideally it would also be pre-populated with the clipboard, like Pocket does on mobile – when detecting a url in the clipboard.
How much of the money donated to organizations like CNCF or the Linux Foundation goes to the individual contributors who build these products?

They do help in some respects: I don't think Kubernetes would be as successful were it not for the big conferences put on by the CNCF. And, of course, lots of companies actually are contributing code back to Kubernetes particularly (and Linux, and some other projects). But there are also a lot of popular open source projects which are used by lots of big companies but don't get either code or money from them.
If SaaS vendors haven't opened their software that uses Mongo under AGPL then I would assume that the additional software (which would count as another "part of the aggregate" according to AGPL), then it must have been substantial. In that case, how does one determine if one is "offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Software or modified version"?

I assume that an online game that uses Mongo to store player data clearly does not derive its value mostly from the database, but is the value of a PaaS built on Mongo, with an elaborate UI and management services derived primarily from the value of Mongo or not? Is the value of an online recipe management service? In both cases I can see compelling arguments in either direction.

One could argue that if the value derived primarily from the DB, then very little software would need to be added and open sourcing it would not be an issue. That vendors don't open source their software shows that they believe its value does not come primarily from Mongo, and so they would be able to continue using it under the new license, defeating Mongo's purpose.
Not calling this app Covfefe Meets Bagel seems like a bit of a missed opportunity to me. Not making the Firebase instance private seems like a bigger missed opportunity though.

Nope, it's about money.
> Paying for the private administration of justice is not how things are supposed to work in this country.

It may not be how you suppose things should work, but the split between the public system serving public priorities and the civil system redressing individual harms is exactly how things have always been supposed to work, both in this country and in the system on which it's legal system was directly modeled.

Yes, law enforcement advocates often blur this when seeking funding or new powers, claiming they work for victims. Thid has never been the case, which is why criminal prosecutions are “the State vs. defendant” whereas private litigation is “plaintiff vs. defendant”. Public prosecutors and law enforcement represent the State, they aren't publicly subsidized to represent the harmed individual the way, say, a public defender is for the accused.

I suppose this could be an interesting attack vector on folks. Pick a group you hate, create a website specifically targeted at that group, get their personal information, and then have a "data breach". Just being part of some groups could seriously impact people in certain circles.

Its not like there is much risk for the website owners given past breaches. At worst you fold the company and even that isn't very certain since TOS seems to be king.

I don't see how this answers the question in a meaningful way.
It depends on your personality, cultural background/preferences, and lifestyle as well as the more traditional factors like appearance, race, height, etc. Some kinds of people like to date "techies", but other kinds of people don't. But you personally may feel more compatible with someone in the second category, which can be frustrating. For many software engineers, dating can be very easy; for others, not so easy. (NB. Bay Area perspective.)
> dark rust color

That's likely iron oxide, but I see nowhere in his post where the water was actually analyzed by a lab to determine its contents. There's simply insufficient data to draw any meaningful conclusions from.

It's just worth noting that rusty water isn't necessarily bad for you, and is actually rather common. There's no smoking gun in the observation.
I don’t have the numbers but I do know we are facing this problem at work. When you have microservices that are supposed to respond in <30 ms connection setup time becomes noteworthy.

Ironically we exacerbated the symptoms by reducing average calls per page below 1.0. The burstiness of the traffic made it clear that the low water mark for the connection pool was not working out.
> You imagine a school where everyone looks the same

The author of that comment does not want everybody to look the same, it was just a rhetorical device - the problem is not that people don't look the same, but that looks is everything that is considered. The opposite of "caring only about physical diversity" is not "demanding physical uniformity", it's "demanding diversity not only in genetic traits but also in other aspects". I am old enough to remember when the need for diversity was explained as "we need people of different background with different ways of thinking, because that would lead to greater intellectual outcomes as individual biases would be compensated and cancelled out". Now it's "we need people of different genetic background because if you don't agree with it than shut up, racist!". Somehow the old one was way more intellectually satisfying than the new one.

Mike Novogratz: Bullish on Bitcoin, Predicts New Highs in 2019
Sorry, I've only now come to read your post(s). I guess if one were to compare npm with anything, Java's maven central is named as reference at multiple places in the npm source and on gh forums, and is also the point of reference for CommonJS modules, since many of the early CommonJs/node adopters were Java fall-outs.

I know very well how downloading packages and patches used to be like in the 90s ;) and I think it was Perl/CPAN who nailed the idea of a language-specific central repository and automatic dependency resolution, though it was practiced in Debian (and possibly pkgsrc) before that. Not that I had much success using CPAN to resolve old .pm's; these seem to be lost to bitrot.

OK, let me revise that since I can't actually say that Democrats "get" that you can't pair big tax cuts with big tax increases.

However, for whatever reason, Democrats don't seem to do big tax cuts coupled with big tax increases. In fact, I don't see offhand any major Democrat Federal tax cuts since the '60s (Johnson administration).

A psychiatrist is someone who can diagnose you and prescribe medicine. You can talk to them if you want but it costs more.
> Yes, resources are limited not every crime will be solved

Arrest, pretrial detention or supervision, prosecution, and execution of sentence also cost resources. The resource limitation that leads to choices about which crimes to pursue with public resources isn't just (or even mainly) about solving crimes, which is often a miniscule portion of the cost.

> I hope your not the victim of a felony some day and the response from fellow man (or lawyer) isn’t...police don’t have resources to investigate your case,

I have been, twice, once with overwhelming evidence and once where the perpetrator openly admitted the offense, where the police wouldn't even send someone out, much less pursue the case.

I agree it sucks when it happens. That doesn't mean I can't understsnd why it has to happen with the combination of the array of criminal conduct defined and the resources devoted to law enforcement, and the actual structure of the legal system.

I found this and your follow-up comments to be very interesting. I wonder if I could ask you to comment on the psychology of men who do this. Do they feel fear? Do they experience guilt or contrition? If so, how do they manage these feelings? I guess it’s neurological outliers who self-select for these jobs. Whilst I have met a few security contractors over the years, I’ve never had the courage to ask them about their motivations and inner experience. I also realize that hit squads like this are a world away from the more regular experience of arranging security patrols of oil installations, but it’s apecifically these more atypical people I wonder about.

It's not, or at least not directly because you're a software engineer. However, some areas where software engineers tend to congregate (I'm mostly talking about Silicon Valley) have some pretty skewed demographics, so if you're a straight male in San Francisco, it's going to be harder for you.

Sourcegraph CEO here. CodeStream is a really awesome product that adds discussions to code in your editor. I was just reading their master plan and wanted to post it here.

I have a few questions for the CodeStream team:

- How do you think discussing code fits in with code review? Is it a partial replacement?

- What % of interactions with code discussion do you foresee occurring in GitHub (or other code hosts) vs. the editor?

- What % of code discussions do you foresee being posted by bots (such as CI) vs. humans?

Is it the same for biking as running? My hunch is I was silly and looking at distance when I thought I could get more out of cycling. That is, I know I can bike 30+ miles with fairly little effort. Running 2 miles near kills me. (Granted, some of that is hernia related. Fixing that, but not expecting it to be easy any time soon.)

Checking my last long bike ride, I see I maintained 120 heart rate for majority of it. Which means I spent most of the time in zone 2, and makes sense that would be easy to maintain. (Contrasted with my last commute, where I cover 270 ft of elevation in about 7 minutes, mostly at about 160 heart rate...)
Never ever?
