In the Elon Way of Thinking, unless you 100% agree on everything and drink the cool aid and roll with rapid reversal of logic giving you whiplash, you are against the mission, and thus the enemy. Since everyone can one day disagree, and thus is potentially the enemy, the conclusion is we must spy on all internal and external entities; and when they disagree with anything, for instance, wanting a better workplace, question their motives. Another example: The SEC simply wants CEOs of a public company, you know, not to lie on twitter about material stuff like having a deal to buy-out the company... but according to Elon, the SEC simply wants to destroy Tesla; is part of a sinister network of anti-Elon forces, and can't possibly be actually watching out for investors and pensions. This is the mentality of a paranoid dictator. Short-sellers, who are to Elon are like Hillary/Muller to Trump on Twitter, are seeing a company constantly missing self-imposed goals and milestones, must also have be evil people, as opposed to simply pointing out the blatant issues on hand.
Iceland doesn’t have e-voting, but they do have absentee voting. You can vote as often as you want during the absentee ballot, and your most recent will count (or none if you also show up during election day). If you need to physically be present to make sure your agent does’t show up during election day, buying enough vote to sway any election is going to be hard. I suppose if you are a part of a larger organization, you can post several spotters around every voting station. But that will increase the chance of them being spotted and spoofed by the police.

Reliability.

Switches fail, and make devices less waterproof.

I have had plenty of modern devices fail due to broken on/off or volume switches (and failed sensors, and failed plugs or sockets).
You're deluding yourself if you think the CDDL hasn't been a major hurdle against ZFS success in the Linux world. ZFS isn't successful in Linux because the CDDL doesn't matter, it's successful despite the fact it does matter because people put a lot more work into it than otherwise needed and work with the licensing and packaging issues involved with that. But saying "it isn't a real problem" is just factually false, no matter how much you don't like that.

If the CDDL simply didn't matter, after all, they could just add it to the source tree and be done with it. I wonder why they haven't done that...
On the other hand...

If a company is playing fast and loose with regulations or laws, or, more generally, peoples sanity by pushing it's employees to work a million hours a day, because it stands to gain financially from doing so.

It seems only fair whistleblowers be likewise financially incentivised.

Ok good one my friend

firstly I prefer to talk about plastic and think about napkins and paper bags slowly and well

something eXtremely important you mention and I forgot sorry mother nature shows me I forgot is about straws for soda pop at the beach coconut water at the beach oh my you name it or no name straws made of plastic , well...

so this is the classical example of something that could even be banned , and banning things is against my principles by principle , mind you , but straws are not like plastic bags yeah an old lady want to carry her fruits in a plastic bag and come on is her freewill and we have to respect by principle and be well and think and straws at the beach at least is something that could be ultimetely if not banned at least controlled with a lot of trashbins colorful for everyone to See with straws painted on them for people to trow the straws in the bin and overall find a replacement even if made of plastic but something easier and better to recycle because straws are ... well...

not really necessary...at least at the beach...

lets say we are recicling mineral water PET (I know and knew and know it right, lets say I know a little bit more than most humans about permeability of Nitrogen and specially oxygen on membrane barriers of different plastics in the food packing industry...and...of course...about Aluminium) so suposedly we are recicling PET water little bottles...

lets supose no labels only thermofoming brands on the the inflation step of the plastic bottle thermoforming/inflating making or similar yeah so only PET suposedly righ and the recicling needs energy and some other chemicals who knows what kind of who know how to name these things, so , well...these things are replaced by substitute processes without that kind of shit, ok, lets name it and say it, chemicals added to the recicling steps of the recicling process these could be banned in theory hipotetically speaking but supose we have PET recicling with spent Energy but no spending added shit chemicals colaterally in the process...

So we still spend the energy right, so, we get energy from sun light so we are clean, I think in my opinion humble as in a federal court, Your Honor
Depending on what you're doing, haproxy is usually a better choice than nginx.
Could the intermediate step via Pocket be avoided, e.g. could the URL be passed directly from iOS to ArchiveBox?
Nginx has historically been easier to scale up out of the box. Not to say Apache can't be configured to be competitive, but there's at least the perception that it's not as good at concurrency [1].

[1] https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215945987-Web-s...
The main reason I switched to nginx from apache years ago was due to configuration, which was much nicer from my side. If I was to switch away from nginx because something happened, I'd probably find something similar configuration and speed wise. Caddy looks nice.
Nginx does a lot of things today that the erstwhile notion of a 'web server' would never have been tasked to to.

So depending on what you are doing, varnish, lighttpd, apache, or haproxy (and likely more) might be used alone or in combination to match functionality.
It is, I have a grand total of a few hours experience with Cisco routers, and even I recognize it.

But doing my degree, I knew several people who hung out at the computer lab and relentlessly pestered people to do their work for them. And now people routinely pay for school essays.

I'm pretty sure there are a large number of people who invest enough effort into cheating that they could have learned the material.
It rubs you the wrong way that I start with an example that clearly illustrates the point I'm trying to make?

Since it's such a clear strawman, it doesn't clearly illustrate the point you're trying to make for those readers who can see through it. It's common sense to exclude childhood as irrelevant to dating experience. It's common sense, that people will be more active in dating during certain phases in their life.

The whole point of the strawman, is that it appears to support a point by only weakly representing the counterpoint. A fairer analysis has been posted several times in other comments here.

I think the minimum size of an IB packet with no payload is 26 octets, vs. 64 octets for an eth packet. So sure, a difference of 38 octets, but at, say, 100 Gbit/s, that's less than a nanosecond difference, much much less than the IB vs. ethernet latency difference. So I think you'll have to look somewhere else for information.

I have no idea what it is, actually. Some ideas that may or may not matter (or might not even be correct):

- IB is a couple of decades younger, so could benefit from knowledge how to do fast protocols. (Not an explanation per se)

- Simpler forwarding. In IB the subnet manager gives out the LID's that are used for routing withing a subnet. They are shorter than an eth MAC (16 vs. 48 bits), so the lookups circuit in the switches can be smaller and faster(?), and also since the LID's are assigned by the subnet manager rather than being burned at the factory, they can be distributed taking into account the subnet topology, allowing switches to use LID Mask Count (LMC) filtering. Similarly, all routes within a subnet are calculated statically a priori by the subnet manager (load balancing among multiple paths is only static round robin, not dynamical load dependent), and don't have to be calculated on the fly by the switches.

- FEC rather than retransmission in case of corruption.
I believe you. I also believe there are now going to be outside parties with strong financial incentives in OpenAI who are not altruistic. I also believe this new structure will attract employees with less altruistic goals, that could slowly change the culture of OpenAI. I also believe there's nothing stopping anyone from changing the OpenAI mission further over time, other than the culture, which is now more susceptible to change.
> The company says it has a "generous return policy" to avoid the need for test drives, as would-be buyers can return a car after 1,000 miles or seven days.

I wouldn't define it "generous", if I cannot test-drive the car.

Concerning the rest: mmhh, the move seems suspicious after the previous statement, which was very clear => maybe the early in/direct feedbacks/indicators were more negative than expected, and/or the stock market did not react according to the expectations and/or etc..., therefore the mgmt decided to find some middle ground? And/or maybe some conflicts in the board of directors?
Yea Apache would be fine for 99% of people those that are pushing a huge number of requests might struggle but there is haproxy amongst others as alternatives
Pretty much everything. :)

L4-L7 load balancing, distributed DNS, SSL offload, WAF, DPI, data centre firewall and other things. With a nice WebUI to configure all that.

The Tcl iRules allow you to hook into pretty much any stage of the request or the response L4-L7 at FPGA speeds to do whatever you wanted to the request / response data.

It's a very powerful product.

Inc-Query | Operations | Full-time | REMOTE (US/EU time zones only) | https://inc-query.com

Bootstrapped, profitable, very rapidly growing B2B tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Engineer exercise 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time
2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects
3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

You don't have to be a software engineer for this, but some coding experience is definitely helpful here. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

So what does the likes of AWS (for example) use for load balancing for data coming into its various private clouds... f5s?
I’m not sure how universally true that is.

When governments fail to redact documents, it’s on them.

If you “accidentally” talk to a reporter about your solicitor-privileged comms, it’s not privileged anymore.
In my experience with engineers (I'm not an engineer.) they think that technical details are the whole thing, and are the totality of what they need to communicate. But nonengineers need more, contextual information to understand a project, like the intellectual history of the technology, a story about the development process, maybe some examples of it in use, an image or video is useful. To my mind a leader would talk the whole enchilada.
It's an inline swiss-army-network appliance that can do a fuckton of things at the speed of packets or nearly so up to 100Gbs.

load balancing? check.

stateful load balancing? check.

ssl-termination? check.

HSM-enabled ssl-termination? check.

hardware accelerated ssl-termination? check.

firewall? check.

NG firewall? check.

compiled Lua/tcl (i forget which) scripts so you can program something insanely complicated? check.

SAML? check.

ISP sized NATs? check.

etc.

Plus, way more configuration knobs and options than you'd ever want at each network layer. Like, come up with a load balancing scheme where Tls1.2 clients using Poly1305-chacha20 get sent to a specific pool of servers while everything else goes to another pool, except for clients trying to use QUIC and who are coming from a specific range of IP. They go to another set of servers.

Maybe a better way to think of it is that it's a single device for tweaking anything L3-L7 for your server and parts of your network.

(used to work for f5, too, but i'm not sure how specific i can get with the nda).
> Although widely held, the belief that merit rather than luck determines success or failure in the world is demonstrably false. This is not least because merit itself is, in large part, the result of luck.

I view that as a significant negative impact to OSS. I have a strong preference for liberal licenses like MIT or Apache 2.0. Infectious licenses like copy-left put restrictions on it that make it less appealing as open source. I wrote a bit on it here: https://www.influxdata.com/blog/copyleft-and-community-licen...

What makes you so sure that what you're doing isn't pattern recognition?

When you lean a language, aren't you just matching sounds with the contexts in which they're used? What does "love" mean? 10 different people would probably give you 10 different answers, and few of them would mention that the way you love your apple is pretty distinct from the way you love your spouse. Though, even though they failed to mention it, they wouldn't misunderstand you when you did mention loving some apple!

And it's not just vocabulary, the successes of RNNs show that grammar is also mostly patterns. Complicated and hard to describe patterns, for sure, but the RNN learns it can't say "the ball run" in just the same way you learn to say "the ball runs", by seeing enough examples that some constructions just sound right and some sound wrong.

If you hadn't heard of AlphaGo you probably wouldn't agree that Go was "just" pattern matching. There's tactics, strategy(!), surely it's more than just looking at a board and deciding which moves feel right. And the articles about how chess masters "only see good moves"? Probably not related, right?

What does your expensive database consultant do? Do they really do anything more than looking at some charts and matching those against problems they've seen before? Are you sure? https://blog.acolyer.org/2017/08/11/automatic-database-manag...

I guess that signals it's time for nginx users to check out possible alternatives - just in case, if things turn out for the worse.

I can recommend having a look at https://varnish-cache.org/ - while its performance might not be 100% up to par with nginx in some (very, very high-end) scenarios, it has many other fortes that nginx (at least in its FOSS release version; I've never used nginx plus) just cannot match in my experience. Having seen `varnishlog` and `varnishtest` in action alone are worth spending a day or two exploring it.
>Conventional wisdom and common sense really means "using an ill defined heuristic", which isn't so obviously better than the discussed algorithm.

If the ill-defined heuristic has survived for millennia, then it's probably better than so new algorithm in the context it is used. It shows good survival characteristics, and people don't keep around stuff they don't benefit from for millennia.
You are correct on a yearly basis. But Q3 and Q4 of 2018 were profitable.

So TSLA has made a quarterly profit. They've never made a yearly profit. Some would argue the last two quarters of profit is a turning point for the company.

Q1 2019 looks like they will lose money though. Jury is still out on whether or not 2019 will be a profitable year.
They do a good amount of briefing events wherein (usually larger/well known/older) companies can meet with A16Z portfolio companies for show and tell style pitch sessions. If they can host some in SF, it would certainly make things easier for a good chunk of companies logistically. Also many of their team live in SF as the article mentions and this would certainly help their commutes.

Disclaimer: A16Z are an investor in my company

So...what is the future of enterprise open source? Is there a future for enterprise open source?

If you start a company and open source your core/clients, your product becomes part of AWS, and AWS runs you into the ground. If you mix in proprietary licenses to protect yourself, AWS forks your core, adds in open-source licensed clients, then runs you into the ground (and you lose open-source contributors/supporters as a bonus who may fork your core themselves).

I remember from a undergrad class reading Google's system design papers, that they publish only the top-level architecture for core systems they use, and only after 3-5 years of use when they have moved on to a better system. After all this (Docker/Redis/Elastic/Nginx), I think that might be the best path forward. You can provide the benefits of open-source and recognition for the architects, but not lose your competitive advantage. Open-sourcing your core product seems too idealistic.
depending on what you use nginx for, check out openbsd.

That's a naive oversimplification -- the kind of modern thinking that considers history some kind of shit-hole and ours the first enlightened era.

People had extremely rich lives, deep thoughts, and interesting problems to solve, throughout the 3-4K years of history.

So Joe Sixpack today, or even a Joe IvyLeagueDegree today is no more sophisticated than e.g. a citizen of ancient Athens or Rome or Bagdad in most everyday matters.

Of course. Patents and other IP will be sold off to the highest bidder.

The factories will be closed down, but there's still railroads and other infrastructure that have been built to support the site. A new company will inevitably purchase the old site and recycle the infrastructure.

> I'd opt to build this in house rather and take on the costs associated with it and still come out saving money

This seems to be the default position of almost everyone in IT, everywhere I go. People make this claim without doing any calculations.

I can imagine building this in house would be at least a few weeks of developer work and some more devops. That's tens of thousands of dollars. You'd have to send a million emails to break even. How many of this kind of transactional email do you send per year?
One bit of highly unusual anecdata here:

I lost my sense of taste for starch after an auto accident last year, or more accurately, after 6 Toradol shots in the neck.

Off like a light switch. It was like not being able to see red anymore, though purple and orange show up just fine.

And I gained weight, in part because I was trying everything to see what foods I could taste. Certain starchy foods like potato chips? No difference. Foods you don't think of as starchy, like pumpkin cheesecake? Tasted like pumpkin pie filling straight out of the can. I only cried once: Fettucini Stroganoff had literally no taste. You could feel there were noodles, but it was flavorless.

I also had an inexplicable craving for fruit. Those $4.99 tiny cartons containing $0.50 worth of cut fruit at the supermarket? Couldn't get enough of them.

After getting my neck cracked at the chiropractor two months later, it was back on like a light switch. Almost went to participate in a study at Oregon State University, the foremost institution in starch-taste research, but no point after it came back.
What's always blown my mind is Apple's acquisition of PA-Semi for less than $300 million. Apple is so far ahead of other phone makers in CPU performance that I would struggle to name another instance where there was such a big performance gap between competitors in the same market. I'm sure that Apple invested a lot in its chip design team since then, but the initial acquisition cost was tiny compared to the result.
