That's a pretty good perspective; lemons to lemonade type of reasoning. If you have a centralization of talent and money, it easily leads to monopolization and stagnation, but if you manage to sail against the wind, so to speak, and you coerce that gigantic cluster of capital into outputting open-source, interop-friendly tech, you've hijacked the monopoly machine for the common good. However, it _is_ sailing against the wind: if Google wasn't good at preserving the monopoly and we weren't bad at enforcing fair competition and regulation, we wouldn't be in this situation.

By the way, what did you mean by "the corporate origin of governance"?

Edit: I second the call for more discussion on this. I think parent is making a valid point that doesn't merit an off-hand rejection by downvote.

Two observations:

1. If you look at the contract, there will almost definitely be a clause where the company will claim rights over all IP that you generate, and that you need to pre-declare any IP that you already own (otherwise they will have the right to claim it). If there isn't, there should be and it's OK to push back against it not being there.

Once that is sorted, write up a declaration of all the ideas that you have had so far for your side hustle and submit it to the company. (You don't have to go into detail: bullet points are fine.)

This gives both you and the employer the protection they are looking for.

2. Starting a business is mostly not about the IP of the software. I have had customers go bananas over something that I spent a day writing. (I have also had stuff that I spent a year writing go nowhere and never sell.)

Most of the ideas that you think are good will be impossible to sell profitably. The first step in any business is establishing that there's a real customer need, and that you can reach those customers. You will probably try 20 different ideas before one works. Buy adwords for them, or do some other kind of outreach to customers and see what works: you also need to go and talk to potential customers. (e.g. every Saturday meet up with someone).

Off the back of this you will eventually find something that works, that's easy to sell and easy to explain, and you will probably have a backlog of customers wanting to buy it. You will also discover that it's probably only a few weeks' work to build the prototype. You can then approach your employer and discuss what you want to do, and get an exemption to the IP clause, or quit and use your savings.

If your first thought on starting a business is to start coding, you're setting yourself up for failure.

Pretty much any time I hear discussion of power I think of Jesus’ famous exchange with Pilate in John 19

When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him.”

7
* The Jews answered, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

8
Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid,

9
and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” Jesus did not answer him.

10
So Pilate said to him, “Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?”

11
Jesus answered [him], “You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”

Fascinating. My grandparents and now parents live in Stratford Hills. I've looked across the river at those places my entire life and never knew the stories. Thanks for that!
> The name is protected.

Let's assume first that is true.

And these articles are about Go being Google's language, which is empirically and legally true.

Different from C. I can write a C compiler with extensions and release it, call it C or "Something-C" and no IP problems. I can even call it Standard C and even if it's not no one can do anything. I maybe can't call it ANSI C if it's not standard compliant, but that's because ANSI is a protected term, not C. And unlike Go.

Now let's assume it's not true.

In that case Go is not Google's language and there are no ip issues. I can make and release a compiler, call it a Go compiler, and I'm fine.

Which is it? Unsure. I find no information suggesting Go is trademarked. But there are people like in your post claiming that it is. If so that should be easy to cite. I really don't know which it is. So many people claiming the word Go is protected. Perhaps they have better references than I could find and we can figure out what sort of language Go really is.
The very beginning of the article asserts that they're essentially the same. In a world with more than one person alive and interacting, it's true.

Why does it have to fork that hard? C is used everywhere; there are ISO standards for it. UNIX also escaped the bounds of AT&T a while back as POSIX. The same could happen elsewhere also.
The two existing comments are from people who are considering an MBA at some point, so perhaps these thoughts are helpful:

- Doing a full time MBA at a top school (or any school) is a large commitment of time and money. 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. If your aim is to get a promotion then, again, it's worth considering the opportunity cost.

- Some of the things you'll learn during the MBA can easily be learned on your own. But 90% of us usually only study the stuff we find most interesting or most immediately relevant. An MBA is a good mechanism to force some breadth.

- The people who get most out of an MBA (from what I've saw at my school, and other people I know) are those who have a clear goal, and have done some research beforehand about how an MBA from their chosen school will help them to get there. Those people also spent a significant portion of their time researching jobs, and trying to meet people to get leads. They didn't just focus on the classes until near graduation, and then apply via standard processes. They were focused on their goal (e.g. 'M&A Associate position at a top-tier investment bank') from the first day, until they got their job offer.

- There are plenty of people who pursue a full-time MBA as a 'break' from work, or because they want to learn a set of skills they can apply in their existing or future business, or because their employer (e.g. investment bank, or top-tier consulting firm) expects it and pays for it, or even just for fun. These are all acceptable reasons. But pursuing an MBA because you think it's a magic solution to $current_career_problem probably won't end well[0].

[0] This last part might be incorrect if you end up at a top school. Like, maybe if you do an MBA at Harvard you won't even need to apply for jobs, and people will come knocking on your door. I don't know. But I suspect the intersection of people who (i) get into HBS, and (ii) have unrealistic expectations of what a piece of paper can do for their career, is pretty small.
Money is simply liquid power.

Non-money power, as you note, can be limited because it's illiquid.
You can though you may have to remove 'Go' from the name as trademark is either owned by Google or owned by the 'Go' project.
> I am from a third world country, so I won't be able alter the contract clauses.

I don’t think this is true. You can always request changes in the contract, and you should consider it. It may seem expensive, but worth it, if you have the money to have your own lawyer read your contract and propose modifications that suit you. It may also reveal to you that parts of your contract were unenforceable.

In my experience, it hasn’t hurt me or anyone I know who’s negotiated their contract. In some cases, because it’s somewhat rare for people to negotiate the non-compete terms, it made me look more confident and desirable than other candidates.

BTW, there is no reason you can’t do this long after being hired and after signing your employment agreement. Companies and lawyers can and do make addenda after the fact all the time.
Me too. Which perhaps undermines the point of the denial?
Unfortunately, to want power might be completely unreasonable thing to do, yet many people might choose to want it.

I mean, dogs still sniff around corners and mark them with piss, even though it is obvious to anyone that this activity doesn't make any sense and is completely useless.
Almost every widely used modern language has a package manager ecosystem that does exactly this. How is that very strange? There are well debated pros and cons with the use of package managers of course, but to call it strange is, well, strange. :)
TBH I don't think its has affected morale inside the company, especially at the lower levels. Nobody knows what the top management is thinking and it's just business as usual for us grunts. I haven't heard anyone voice a pessimistic view of the future. The reaction has basically been "Meh". But then again, this is outside China and in business units that aren't really affected by the trade war drama.
Not true. 3000 series APUs are based on zen+.
Exactly this. And this mailing list post exemplifies that even Googlers don't realize the soft power they have.

How many of us get to be lunch or drinking buddies with Russ Cox or Rob Pike? Googlers have much easier access to both than the external community and those are really the only two that matter.

That is splitting hairs, the name is part of the language - it is how you refer to it, you cannot remove it. If i name my implementation Glag it wont be Go, it will be Glag which just happens to be compatible with Go. Someone using my compiler wouldn't be using Go, they'd be using Glag.

As such, since the Go name is "protected" then the language itself is "protected" even if the protections allow you to contribute your time to Google's language.

I'm not sure what you're arguing. You certainly have the right to fork GO and release your fork. There may be restrictions on what you call that fork (as in, you may not be allowed to use the name 'Go' anywhere in the name) - but that's a separate issue.
Hmm there is an entirely free version and has quite a lot of features, it's more than a trial. This is popular not just because of people re-creating accounts on different emails.

However, as Google has learned recently to their dismay, its workers have power; they can wrest things from corporate power through their collective (or individual) action, and there may be little that they can do to resist.

Duh? Huawei was added to the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List. You were imagining that after years of successful open collaboration with Huawei that Google woke up one morning and decided to screw them? You should take some time and re-evaluate what biases have skewed your perspective to such an extent that you were prepared to believe such an unreasonable thing.

Well, this nicely shows problems with this debate in a nutshell.

1) nuclear is covered in FUD:

> I don't think we even have enough qualified personnel to build the huge number of reactors

2) renewables "just work" without any issues ... Well at least everyone claims so:

> I think right now renewable energy with storage and improved grids provides a better carbon reduction per dollar than nuclear.

Can you provide a SINGLE example of any country on Earth with ability to store enough electricity to run the country for just ONE hour?

One minute?

And what would / did that cost? Can we actually scale it (pumped storage works nicely in ideal cases, but those are rare)?

The amount of handwaving around renewables is incredible ...

Google’s takeover of deja news and its formation into groups.google.com was always a mess, but it seems to have got even worse. Now it’s at the point I can’t access the article on iOS safari.

First it forced me to log on. Ok I did that. After which the redirects lost the deep link, so I reached a generic landing page. I tried going back but there were more redirects which made that difficult. I finally came back to HN and clicked the link again. Then a spinner came up but didn’t load. A few reloads later and I got a few characters but nothing useful.

What a mess.

Having a computer with a much simpler (like several orders of magnitude simpler) software stack has its own appeal.

Go == Simplicity
Yeah so this is my hunch too (which I want to prove/disprove)

When you think about it, there is almost a unidirectional knowledge transfer: plenty of Chinese people will study and work abroad and then go back to China. By comparison, how many people do you know of who do the reverse - in terms of ratios, how do these numbers compare? Open source code and academic research is all out there in English for people to read and absorb, but China also has the scale and funding to then internally propel these ideas and then publish in Chinese (if at all).

Though it sounds like there is some degree of open source and that Github is mostly the defacto in China too.
Thanks for your answer! I'm used to mostly C, C++ and Python projects. In the worst cases, when I download and compile a program I have to install two or three dependencies, and it is OK if I do it by hand. For an eminently unix-friendly program like hledger I was expecting a similar ease of installation (i.e., I have an arbitrary haskell compiler and I can just compile the program running "make"). But I was surprised that this is not the case; obviously the traditions of the haskell community are different. Yet, it seems very difficult to install this program in a controlled environment without internet access.
The other way of looking at it: The point of being a boss is to help your people get more done by organizing them and coordinating their efforts.
Why not do an article with then-current mitigations every 6 months? Rather than conveniently waiting until Intel can get their hardware fixes out. Which will coincide with the "mitigations are stable" article.

I'd be willing to bet that if the majority of mitigations impacted AMD rather than Intel as it does today, you'd already have done this and would continue to follow up. This is very interesting material and a special moment in time to cover it and inform your readers. Other than willful laziness ("lack of time", everyone knows you make time for priorities), this appears like shilling hard for Intel.

If Anandtech decides to do the right thing, I'd like to see .Net or Java compilation. Real-world based benchmarking only.

If you want a discrete GPU with the same featureset as a modern integrated Intel GPU - with basic desktop features such as 1) being able to decode modern video codecs like HEVC 2) prime Windows and (especially) Linux support or 3) modern video outputs such as HDMI 2.0 - you need to buy a Radeon RX550. This will still set you back more than $80 and add another fan to your build.

A Radeon R7 240 from 6 years ago will still set you back $50, but will not give you modern video outputs or video codecs (although it at least still has relatively prime driver support). It's probably even slower than Intel's current integrated graphics too. Might as well go for the upsell then.

The prevalence of internal GPUs unfortunately seems to have killed the market for up-to-date very low end discrete GPUs. The "budget stuff" starts at $80, which is quite steep for something that barely has added value over an integrated GPU.
That would be $40 CAD == $30 USD if it makes a difference for you. Most entrees are in the 22-35 range. Anything I've had in the $40 range has been incredible.
The open source license allows me to fork the implementation of Go, but not use a derivative of the Go name for my derivative of the Go implementation (to ensure/show, among others, that people know that my work is about Go and not some other language or something i came up with).
you are right, I was trying to say the "never" part is wrong but of course there is a good reason behind the advice; it's not pure bullshit.
Given that the hack only occurred after the breach I would say no
You could also find something that is not being done perfectly or it is dominated by one player but has potential for niche expansion. Random example: accounting software for dry cleaners...

Amazon's hand an answer to that with FIFO queues for the better part of years, but even without a queue based system you probably still need some notion of idempotence in the actions your system takes.

Systems "without queues" have just eschewed one queue for N queues, where N is the number of clients buffering actions for retries at any given moment.

Assuming your revenue and your AWS bill are strongly correlated, I agree. However, when a free service or a bug can increase costs by orders of magnitude without a corresponding increase in revenue your choices are to eat it (not sustainable, for most of us), throttle, or stop. Throttling is hard, so stopping is often the best choice.

You make it sound like the 'current trend' is a new phenomenon, but before the rise of Facebook newspaper and TV companies were self-policing and it was essentially impossible to publish a message to millions of people without going through some sort of editorial filter.

The new trend is that someone with a few thousand dollars can tell 10 million people that the Pope has endorsed a particular politician and a million people will believe it. I'd like to think that we are not so easily influenced, but then I find myself clicking on a screenshot I created just 30 seconds earlier and I realise the human brain just isn't designed to be constantly alert to fakery.

Anyone with an impartial eye surprised at this?

Truly unbelievable - the only people charged so far (as a result of this whole US gov./mil. docs leaks business) are Assange and Manning. That's it.

There are no other charges or repercussions of any kind, even, for anyone involved in anything.
As with many things, the answer is it depends on what you do. I inherited an app that serves about 1m requests a day, and server-side rendering of the HTML is one of the reasons why we're going to decommission this app, as the performance of the server-side rendering here is atrociously bad/unacceptable. We reimplemented many of the same features in a SPA that does a lot more overall and the performance difference is night and day between the two.
This reminds me of the mono project and Microsoft’s .NET languages. It’s doable.
