Do they know that their liberties are not the same as in the wild? More importantly, do you believe it causes the chickens psychological pain? I'm not convinced you're not making a naturalist fallacy. Can you point to what is wrong with human's relationship with chickens in a factory farming model, assuming the animals have basic humane treatment?

Edit: I personally eat free-range chicken, but this is for aesthetic reasons. I cannot justify why free-range chickens have a better life than those in enclosures, any more than I can justify why a human farmer has a better life than a software developer.
>But the thing I like the most is the ability to write some code in the text editor, highlight it, and use the "do it" menu command to immediately execute it. Would be terrible for security... but I want it.

How would it "terrible for security"? It can be done in most text editors like Vim, Sublime, etc, it's just a menu command / shortcut away.
Not at all. Google Chrome and Android are produced by Google too. And yet, the user tracking or advertising sections of Google have their interests met through Chrome and Android. If the Chrome and Android teams had only their users' interests in mind, ad blocking and tracker blocking would have been built into these products.
I just want more control over what appears in my feed. If all I saw were posts from my friends I never would have come across this video, but instead my feed is a combination of celebrities, pages, promoted content etc. I could unfollow everything outside of my friend group but then Facebook still shows random posts friends (or sometimes barely even aquaintances) have liked or replied to.

I rarely use Facebook anymore anyway, most of my chat happens in private groups or on scuttlebutt because at least there I have some control over what I see.

I don't know of any large open source project that doesn't require a CLA. As the post suggests, perhaps one day there'll be a Golang Foundation, which would otherwise have ownership of whatever code you contribute.

Yes, this is correct, thank you. I updated my comment to indicate that I meant partial failure, though the failure conditions persist from 20 minutes to a few hours. Those partial failures have happened once every two months or so in my experience.

Technically, it's not even really a failure of SQS because the guarantees SQS makes are so weak that those partial failures are really "operating normally."

Depends on the inclusion criteria and process are. I don’t think index funds buy at IPO.

Presumably they would start to buy after 90 days and a small chunk each trading day, determined by average daily volume and other factors.

By that point, the active buyers/shorters should do their usual bit of fighting each other until the price is « correct ».

Doing massive buy and sell orders based on known criteria would be problematic.

Like it or not, Google is probably paying around a million $$ a year to keep senior full-time developers around that want to work on the language. That could be used as a benchmark to calculate how much of an investment is required to have a healthy development cycle.

If a community-maintained fork is created, it would need time and monetary investment similar to what google is doing just to maintain and develop non-controversial features. Question is: Is this assessment sensible and if so, is the community able or willing to make this kind of investment?

Most of the value in an MBA is from the face to face interaction and networking - the classes in business school are helpful sure but nothing you can't learn yourself in a book. If these schools weren't able to offer much in the way of networking and development of soft skills in the first place, then frankly going online makes sense because you don't lose anything, but i think that's a factor specific to these business schools, not the very top bschools that have no shortage of funding/extensive networks etc.

I would differentiate between power and freedom, as the author does.

Power would be the capacity to affect other people's actions, often arising from having a position of authority over them, but can also occur in the form of influence over them (soft power).

Freedom would refer to having the means to choose our own actions with fewer or weaker external constraints.

The author has achieved some degree of financial freedom, but not much power from what I can see, beyond the limited power that his modest net worth can buy.
Agreed completely. Most people would sure as hell feel that lack of power if someone they loved was in danger/got sick and they couldn't help them.

> If your aim is to start a business, then it's worth considering what you could achieve with the same amount of time+money invested in getting that business started.

I’m not sure how to even begin evaluating opportunity cost.

I started a business, and had a successful exit, and I’m still considering the MBA for the next time. The reasons include: as an engineering founder I undervalued marketing dramatically and don’t know how to do it well, and I had a hard time speaking the language of investors. I want to add skills to my quiver that I found missing when I needed them.

How would you suggest thinking about opportunity cost, especially if you lack experience in one or both options? In order to make starting a business more valuable than school, I feel like you have to either be much luckier or know what you’re doing and execute perfectly, which is incredibly hard to do the first time. The things I spent time on as a first time founder are things I think I would have learned not to do in business school. It worked out for me only because I got lucky, but I did burn a few years and a lot of money. After having chosen to start a business instead of school, I feel like it might have been more efficient to go to school.
The opt-in/opt-out arguments is a valid one and DDG IS my primary search engine and I love it. BUT, I must say this pseudo-activisim by DDG has become too much now, they're building this pure and altruistic image whereas obviously they will directly benefit from regulation and hurting Google!

He points out that there are over 100 committers, nearly half of which are non-Google; it's only the small group of people in charge of the language spec that are at Google.

It may be true that Google the company don't drive Go the language. However, simply working in the same company tends to make you take on the perspective and values of that company.

In the Xen Project, for instance, Citrix is the largest single contributor. Citrix management have basically left the engineers working in the Xen to our own devices; but nonetheless we've made a conscious effort to diversify the organizational membership of the core decision-makers in the project: partly to make sure that we're not drifting into a Citrix-centric groupthink, and partly to avoid the appearance of Xen being a Citrix-only project.

If I were them, I would be looking for an opportunity to arrange to have at least one non-Googler on the core Go team, for the same reasons.
I know of more than one organization that have decided against Angular in recent years primarily because of Google's backing of the project. Skepticism of the big three (four?) tech giants is growing, especially if you've had some of your market carved out by them.
I don’t think many of these comments are realistic. I’m truth, these clauses are likely defensive, particularly for tech companies. There is an almost 100% chance that if you started a company and left your job, your company will not register your coming or going in the slightest. If you’re some famous person that ends up starting some billion dollar company, and it was in an area highly relevant to your job, you might have a problem. Or if you try to sue them to stop doing something you created while employed for them. But if you’re just a regular person that starts some business that’s moderately successful (already an unlikely scenario), everything is going to be fine. It will likely take you YEARS and YEARS of toiling in obscurity before you come even close to profitability, and that’s if you’re lucky. You think some big tech company is even going to remember you? Even if you build a multimillion dollar business, that’s a drop in the bucket for them, not to mention legal fees, difficulty of enforcing the dubious contract, and the bad PR of squashing a former employee’s business.
> It should be possible to reorder and push 2 through the pipeline at the same time in a lot of circumstances.

To be clear, the existing chips had two 128-bit vector units, and the new ones have two 256-bit vector units. So that would get you 4 total.

Also each unit, at least on existing chips, is capable of either a single FMA or a completely independent multiply and add at the same time. I don't think Intel chips can do this?

It's funny reading this after using Erlang/Elixir over the last few years. The default is always async with the assumption it will fail - as async processes failing is a core part of the OTP application architecture.

It's not something to be feared but a key part of how your application data-flow works.

>'It never occurred to me that anyone could actually believe it.'

Am from the UK and I have heard that story for years from a variety of people who do seem to completely believe it, as it is usually brought up to give an example that shows Americans being stupid, and the motive of 'aren't we better' would not be there if they thought that the story was false. I didn't know the truth of it but thought it was a funny story, so had gone to look it up a while back.

Is also usually brought up by the same people who will crow about Americans not understanding the concept of irony or sarcarsm, again to demonstrate the supposed superiority of UK culture. I have taken to pointing out that saying that tells me nothing about Americans, but does demonstrate that the person I am talking to presumably never reads any books.
It certainly is in the last decade or so. Python is a language from the early nineties and took decades to achieve it's current level of popularity.

Javascript was backed by Netscape, and later by Microsoft/IE. It would never have succeeded without corporate backing and being on of the 2.5 usable languages on the web (Java was the other one, I'm counting ActiveX/VBScript as half)
N=26. No control group eating, say, lots of low-inulin vegetables. Highlighting studies such as this one is not the right way to popularize science. This study should be of interest to other researchers. Once N is several orders of magnitude higher and lots of comparison groups have been included, then tell a general audience what's going on.

PS related to "inulin-rich" is "high FODMAP".
Having been an introverted engineer you probably already know how much of a blessing you're going to be to other engineers who just want to be left alone to do their work. Only suggestion I would make (since I imagine that you, as an introvert, will already be pretty hands-off) is to occasionally ask yourself if what you're doing is making life easier for your engineers. Do they have roadblocks that you're able to remove? If removing that roadblock means a quick email, do it now and your engineers will appreciate you for it. Remember that your job is to manage and not to be a boss and you'll do just fine.

One quick addendum: if you're able to let your engineers work the way they way that they work best (i.e., remote, flexible hours, etc.), do it.
As a researcher in the field, I think you should think about it because it's fun to think about... but I don't think you "have" to think about it yet.

> The fact that in Go's case quite a lot of the maintainers work at Google doesn't really change much.

> those executives, and upper management in general, have never made any attempt to affect how the Go language and tools and standard library are developed

Power and control aren't about whether you've attempted to change something, they're about whether you can change something.

If Google ever had a conflict between the core Go team vs the people who make money for the company, you can be sure who will win out in that debate. Saying that it's never happened before or that it's unlikely to happen doesn't change the fundamental power dynamics that people are upset about.
I went to one of the top-tier (top 3) MBA programs in the US.

The way I've described that value of the top MBA programs is in 3 (roughly equally-weighted) categories:

1) The Education: Getting to discuss business concepts with a group of smart, successful folks for 6-9 hours a day is very helpful. Most of the content, I could get from books/ online articles at a fraction of the price, but spending the time in a focused way is actually helpful.

2) The Network: In terms of network, this isn't some vague amorphous thing at Stanford GSB, HBS, or Penn- it's knowing several hundred other folks who are going to be very successful in their careers. This can be useful in sales, fundraising, finding a next job, etc. and DOES have a tangible dollar value.

3) The Rubber Stamp: Having your resume say "Stanford GSB" or "Harvard Business School" does have value to future employers or customers- it de-risks you as you've been validated by a famous institution, and helps THEM to associate with these famous brands.

For the top 3 programs, even though they're VERY expensive (approx $250k in tuition + living expenses, plus at least another $250k in foregone income for most incoming students, for $500k in actual cost+opportunity cost), they're almost certainly worth it.

For middle-/ lower-tier MBA programs, 2) and 3) above aren't NEARLY as valuable, or perhaps don't even exist- is your "network" from Podunk State School MBA actually valuable? For these, the only real value is the actual education, and most students would be better served with an online program or just actually picking up some books/ case studies/ reading online articles.
JavaScript is an interesting case, in that it was the only way to write code that would run in Netscape Navigator at the time. In a sense it had Netscape behind it, and then it had Microsoft behind it once they reverse-engineered an implementation for IE3.

I'm not very familiar with the history of Python, though it seems it was funded in its early years by various research institutes that employed Guido van Rossum, rather than a giant corporation.
It does give them more profit to take if they had a better idea of the « true » value of a stock, since everybody else has given up on paying people for that methodology.

Save money. Get a job that pays as much as possible, even if it has shitty clauses around side projects, and just save as much money as you can. When you have 1-2 years of nest egg saved up (might be eating ramen, etc), then quit and go work on your company.
I disagree. There are many forms of power (including F*v) but what we commonly confuse is power that is the means available to accomplish a task, and political power that represents ones altitude in a social hierarchy. And though I agree with you that where two or more people gather together there will be competition over who is dominant (AKA politics) I disagree that those of higher social status can have %100 control over anyone. After we make our requisite displays of subservience to the overlords, we can still carve out a lot of freedom needed to accomplish our own goals, if we are smart and discrete about it.

I just moved, and am now paying 70% more rent than I was previously. And my previous rent wasn't something ridiculously cheap.

I don't know how common this is, but it can't be that rare.

I don't have any comment yet on the actual debate. It seems a bit complicated... Although, I am cautiously sympathetic to the idea that more housing should hopefully bring down prices.

Sure, though the grandparent is kinda correct in one sense -- if one were to use a set operator to mean logical implication, you could use "is a subset of".

Imagine the set universe has just one element, "truth". Every statement is a set, and that set contains "truth" or it doesn't. Now, if A implies B, then one of three things is true:

- A contains "truth" and so does B,

- B contains "truth" but A does not, or

- Neither A not B contains "truth".

So implication would mean that B is a superset of A (or A⊆B.)

There are senses in which the reverse operator could make sense, though, like for logical corrolaries. Any statement provable from B is also provable from A, but not necessarily vice-versa. If each statement corresponds to the things it implies, then if B can be proven from A then A⊇B.

I guess this difference is natural. Think of these logical statements as constraining the universe of possible things. More constraints means fewer possible universes. (More to the point, a subset of constraints leads to a superset of universes.) The direction of Set relationships between logical statements will depend on which you put in your sets.

EDIT: I just re-read this and fixed a couple of errors, leading to maybe the opposite conclusion!?
