Having used wework for a couple of businesses, and left after 12 months or so, I have a slightly different view.

I think wework is a noisy, distracting and expensive pit stop on the way to remote work. The company turnover at the weworks we were at was remarkable, to me. I don’t know the root causes (business closing? Unsatisfied?) but it seemed very transient.

Our businesses moved to fully remote and enjoyed a significant rise in productivity each time.

Wework feels like a massive bet on open plan offices. They didn’t work for us.
it surprises me a bit.

I'm wondering why wouldn't RubyGems implement some basic form of malware detection? This type of code shouldn't be too hard to classify.
That sounds like Zithromax, aka a "Z-Pak".
As a sysadmin (as am I), you should know how git works so you can fix it when the devs break it. :)

What do you find difficult about it?
It's true that it's expensive compared to other countries, but the absolute amount of money that the average German pays is quite manageable.
What's Up with Sysadminless Architecture?
In the later years I notice a rebirth of the ancient myth: IT without the need
for sysadmins. The first time I witnessed it (circa 2003) Microsoft, Red Hat
and SUSE where promising no more need for sysadmins thanks to the new GUI tools
for server administration. We all know where that went.

10 years ago they invented "DevOps", replacing sysadmins with retrained devs
who where eager to be "agile" and move forward with the business requirements.
But on-call surely kills the soul when you outsource your infrastructure, there
is no human on the other end of the line and "infrastructure as code" proves to
be buggy like... all code?

And now we're back to software solutions: serverless, containers, FAAS, etc.
"You don't need to worry about infrastructure any more" says the marketing guy
in the youtube video. Just buy our software and rent the infrastructure from
that guy. Oh and when you fail buy some consulting as well, you'll see that it
gets easier with time, you just have to learn to think in a different paradigm.

Containers are golden images. FAAS is static linking. We've been there already
years ago and we developed software distributions, packages with versions and
package managers to deal with the downsides of those "solutions". And
serverless is just wrappers on wrappers on the same software on good old
servers! Just layers of abstraction that are so deep the leeks are monstrous
and will never stop.

The complexity of operating an infrastructure requires dedicated people. Those
who won't let you develop skyscrapers until what's under the pavement can
support them with foundations, power, water, sewage, etc. And now you decided
we're just obsessed with sunken costs and try to remove us so you can move
"into the future" where you don't have to worry about those things? And that
the lessons we've learned in decades doesn't apply any more because you've
rediscovered what we discarded for good reasons?
Security and censorship circumvention: 5 VPN and proxies for Google Chrome
my experince with GCP support during the free trial (with the advertising explictly saying that they provide "Technical Support for free trials") was:

1. create ticket
2. immediately receive email telling me I'm barred from free technical support and told I need to purchase a "Silver, Gold or Platinum Cloud Platform Support package"
Heh,

The container network ecosystem is crap because of NAT and what seems to be a lack of understanding around networking
There's a small downside to TOTP even if you never use it in anger.

For U2F/ WebAuthn the relying party doesn't end up knowing any secrets. So if for example I get a month old database backup of Facebook, I don't learn how to log in with U2F as any of the users whose credentials I have, because Facebook can't do that either, only the legitimate users can.

For TOTP that stolen data gets me in, because I can synthesize correct TOTP codes for any user whose secret key I have stolen.

But you are correct that social engineering attacks will be far more common. The particular concern with SMS is that the attack can target your mobile phone company, so that all the security at say Facebook or Twitter doesn't help you because your security was blown up at T-mobile or AT&T.
Sigh. I really hate seeing hg languish like this. Command line is nicer, and I have yet to find any git gui frontend that matches what TortoiseHG can do (both in terms of invocating dialogs from the cmdline; and in terms of presenting and manipulating the graph).

I really hope something happens to help hg start accumulating more market share. Not just for my opinion on the tooling; but because IMO the "git = github = the only place for opensource" monoculture is kinda problematic.

Aside from Lyme disease, I'm also personally concerned about Chronic Wasting Disease. We have deer on our property all the time and all they do is shit and piss everywhere.

Seaborn Heatmaps: 13 Ways to Customize Correlation Matrix Visualizations
In the Alps you can't even go into a mid altitude wood without finding a tick or 2 walking on your dog. Hiking over 1600m is the only way to avoid them. I'm lucky to have a dog with white fur, so I can see them before they bite but it's a constant battle.

I wonder:

1. if we always had them. Probably not, I can't remember seeing that many in my childhood
2. if there's a way to get rid of those or we're forced to have this problem forever.

Has anyone here ever thought of building an army of tick-detector robots powered by solar panels that can go around and grab as many ticks as possible?
A private office is the worst of both worlds for me. I have to go to the office, be out of everything that is comfortable for me, to be closed in an office for most of my day? No thanks!
The bull case for WeWork is really well laid out here. And what it tells me is that a well-run company competing with WeWork would (or will) destroy them.

Imagine a WeWork competitor that launches in a few years, at the bottom of the coming recession, that isn't doing sketchy financial things to make their founder wealthy. They could match or undercut WeWork's prices at a time when WeWork will probably be barely alive (if they make it that long) and still make money.

"AWS for Offices" is a great story, but it forgets that AWS has some serious competition now. Hardware as a service stopped being a disruption and became the norm with a competitive market. So too will "offices as a service" if WeWork's model is correct.

You will notice that Kallithea has been consistently updated regularly. Besides user like me its also used internally at Unity Engine.

Also the features you mentioned not all are in Rhodecode open source edition.

This is a simple text format that you can edit using any tools you want, including Notepad.

They have created their own convenient apps that makes It slightly easier to edit, because unlike a general purpose editing app, it knows the format that this file is expecting.

I have to try it out, but I suspect I would use Vim on the desktop, but use their apps on my cellphone.

This is a really nice idea.

What happens to orphaned gems? It seems like someone could make the case for getting ownership of them much easier than if you kept ownership and added a loud deprecation warning.
It’s more like comparing a wine cooler to vodka.
AFAICT, Uber, Lyft, AirBnB & WeWork's valuation can only be justified via the natural monopoly angle: network effects and all that.

Ben's AWS comparison is apt because I don't think many people consider AWS to be a natural monopoly. It has huge lock-in and a huge first-mover advantage, but is not a natural monopoly.
While this is true, the ability to get space in a new city for exactly as many employees as needed, without having to have someone on the ground who knows local neighborhoods is pretty compelling. By going with WeWork a company has reasonable assurance that the location will be in a good place, have nice amenities for happy employees, and have the comfort knowing they are purchasing the right amount of space for their current needs and can expand or contract quickly. This makes expansion much quicker and lower risk.

Sure a company doesn’t need to offer beer or kombucha or be in central working districts, but not having to figure out all this info on their own when they just need a few rooms in a remote city is what companies are paying for. Like scalable sever infrastructure, the benefit isn’t the cost savings, so much as not having to hirer experts for things outside your business domain.
People do seem to have odd opinions about what something is worth to them. Yes, I'd rather pay $5 than $10. Obviously. That's not the question.

The question is whether it's worth $10, and that's on a par with what other services cost. It will depend primarily on their content, and to some lesser degree how easy it is to use. (Apple has an amazing, if unreliable, talent for hitting a sweet spot in feature levels.)
I imagine so, since the affected areas are expanding.
What did you do with/from the naturopath?
It winnows out post-PHd (fewer women proceed to postdoc and professor jobs). Most people would describe this as a pipeline problem, or possibly a rational reaction to the poor economics of being a professor (super competitive hard work for low pay, mainly for ego, not remuneration).

Wow, that's a pretty well executed and possibly targeted attack then. It blows my mind how easy it can be to perform a high impact attack by abusing popular libraries. Hopefully this was caught before it got into production in high profile implementations.
GCP has had CloudNAT for some time now. It’s a checkbox in the GUI and just works.

>She will sometimes beat them, if that's what you mean.

Yes, by as much as 10 hours in the MOAB 240, she set the record in a 100K race, she won another 100 miler by 75 minutes. She set another record in a 24 hour run.

>Not to mention thousands of meters of elevation.

Like the MOAB 240 in Utah she won by 10 hours with 29,467 feet of elevation?

>The fact that this woman's many extraordinary achievements are buried under titles like "Women are better then men in ultras" is disgusting to me.

Where did you get those quotes? Maybe you should consider you are "disgusted" by the woman's accomplishments and frame them as "She will sometimes beat them," without being able to acknowledge the degree of her victories over 2nd place male runners. Does she win every race she enters? No, of course not, but when she wins, she sets records and we are not talking seconds or minutes.
> we provide men-only workshops for men who want to get into nursing or teaching.

We do. Why do people think this is some kind of killer point? It is made in every single thread like this. It's beyond fucking tedious.
That's a terrible definition of hard science-fiction both because Han Solo never does that[0] and because it leaves way too much room on the hard side for things like, well, Star Trek, which is pretty soft itself.

[0] - Han Solo actually saunters around the inside of a creature whose body contains an atmosphere which inexplicably isn't expelled when the creature has its mouth open; which makes even less sense.

As far as I understand it, amazon did not use AWS servers for their Amazon store infrastructure at all, at least not in the beginning. So it didn't actually "monetize excess capacity" rather it saw an opportunity and seized it with completely new investment.
It could have been. Looking at the list that MaDeuce posted above Doxycycline sounds more familiar. I really don't remember though.

If you've ever tried to quit smoking, you'd know that the gums and patches don't work, which is why vape pens have been so successful at getting smokers to quit after decades of patches and gums failing. It's not the amount of nicotine in your blood that matters, it's the delivery mechanism. Inhaling nicotine gets it to your brain faster, which creates the pleasurable experience. Patches just make you feel shitty and burn your skin, while vape pens recreate the sensation of smoking with an order of magnitude less nasty shit in it. Nicotine salts based vapes like juul are even less damaging since the quantity of vapor is massively reduced compared to traditional vaping liquids. Juul may be a bunch of scumbags, but these conversations really irk me because there is a clear benefit to vaping as an alternative to smoking. If you can figure out how to curb teen vaping without telling me I can't use a juul because it's maybe kinda bad for me, I'm all for it. If the proponents of banning vapes want to ban alcohol first, I'll be less skeptical of their intentions.
Minor quibble but I think you mean East Africans, not West Africans.

Also, most of the East Africans are actually from the same tribe/town in Kenya, Kalenjin.

But your overall point, agreed. The only reason these races are not dominated by African runners is because of the low prize money involved.

E.g. if Eliud Kipchoge ran a 2:01 for the first 42K he could have walked the remaining 8K and still beaten the winner of this race by an hour.

> A+ (0+) is the worst group to have

Huh? Which one is it?
It sorta make sense as a redox reaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox , but it's more difficult to explain in easy terms than what I though.

For simplicity, let's imagine that you eat methane. The reactions is

CH4(food) + 3 * O2(air) --> CO2 + 2 * H2O

For simplicity, let's imagine that The Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are more "happy" when they are in a state like in CO2 and H2O. And for simplicity, you split the bound in the molecules and assign a fictional charge to the atoms

CO2 ~~> C{4+} + 2 * O{2-}
H2O ~~> 2* H{+} + O{2-}

So in the "happy" state:

* the Oxygen has a fake charge or -2, i.e. it has two additional electron.

* the Carbon has a fake charge or +4, i.e. it has four electrons less the neutral version.

* the Hydrogen has a fake charge or +1, i.e. it has one electron less the neutral version.

Now, how do you decompose the methane in the food:

CH4 ~~> C{4+} + 4* H{+} + 12 * e-

[Important: This is not the standard notation. Don't use it in a midterm!]

So if you decompose the methane molecule using "happy" atoms, it has 12 more electrons than what you expect. So in some sense, with each methane molecule you get 12 additional electrons.

The oxygen molecule decompose as

O2 ~~> 2* O{2-} - 4 * e-

Note the minus sign. Each one "wants" 4 electrons.[Important: This is not the standard notation. Never ever a minus operator in a midterm!!!]

So the 12 electrons travel from the methane in the food to the oxygen you have breathed. (I'm not so convinced to use "expel" here.)

With more realistic food the equation is bigger an more difficult, the number of electrons and oxygens molecules change, but it's the same idea.

You can even follow how the electrons travel in the reactions in the mitochondria, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_transport_chain in each step they release a small amount of energy that is collected. [This is a technical detail of the biological part, you can't release a lot of energy altogether and pack it later.]

[Important: Again, this is not the standard notation. Use the standard notation in a midterm. The question was more difficult to explain than I expected I had to use not standard notation. I hope it's clear enough to read the standard notation and understand the idea.]
All that money did not go to fund "hooey" tech companies. $450B total has gone into VC since 2009. Stock buybacks in 2018 for U.S. companies alone was $1.1T.

Total global QE is $12.3T.

U.S. stock buybacks alone could be about $5.3T--or an order of magnitude more than global VC investment.
Agile introduces and requires meeting time. If you were doing Just Shut Up And Get It Done before, Agile is definitely meeting-heavy. Agile is agile compared to Waterfall, but overall it’s a process of no one trusting the workers to take on work and hit deadlines if they’re not in meetings telling you about it.

The only constant between every Agile organization I’ve been in is the forced meetings. Everything else was up to interpretation.
I'm 100% on board with this.

If it weren't for my own personal experience I would be skeptical. However, after getting covered in ticks when I was a child, since then, I have never found a tick on me. I almost never get stabbed by mostiques either. I have always attributed it to my smoking... mostly because I have no other explanation. I have grown up in Montana and spend a fair amount of time in the woods and outdoors. They do land on me... they just don't bite me.
The thing that bothers me about the comparison between WeWork and AWS is that Amazon builds, owns and operates AWS data centres. Wework largely doesn't own the properties. I think that's a pretty important distinction.

Also, whilst a normal business can't really build a "AWS competitor for Chicago" the "A WeWork competitor for Chicago" seems like a much bigger threat. If the only way that WeWork can win those situations is by running at a loss in competitive markets and then monopoly pricing in other markets you've got two choices: Either they'll never make money because they'll always be loss leading, or they're facing being broken up by a regulator.
Wouldn't recession make business real estate dirt cheap for WeWork too? Wouldn't it make flexible business spaces even more valuable when things are uncertain?

At first glance, maybe a recession can enable WeWork to acquire lot's of real estate under really favorable conditions and make it's premium when the recession is over. Don't you think so?

Also I'm under impression that the WeWork ysers are not the well funded companies but smaller companies and contractors and those people usually make money on their services, instead of relying on funding keeps flowing intil they exit.
It is quite common, if not the majority of times, that new divers have a initial feeling of not getting enough air which then turn into stress and a desire to take in air even faster.

For me personally, I swam like that for a min or two, got distracted looking at a fish, and then my breathing returned to normal and I was hooked.

"Soured their relationship" Really? Is that what you call letting the CCP filter search results?

Google made far too many concessions in my opinion and still got fucked.
So the main thrust of this op-ed is that when you get old, you're allowed to settle comfortably into your routines.

Those people you've been avoiding? Keep on avoiding them. Kids playing shitty new music that sounds more like a cat being dragged across a cheese grater than the dulcet tones of a young lover? Don't listen to it. Friends going up to Scotland for the weekend to view, and maybe participate in, some improv? Fuck em; stay home and watch The Great British Baking Show again.

Which is all fine, but there's nothing intrinsic about aging that allows you to do those things, or about being young that makes those things impossible.

There are good things about getting older. I'm with the person I love, and I don't have to figure out how to hack Tinder in a desperate attempt to get laid. I'm making more money now than I ever have. I know, more or less, who I am and what I want to do.

But I'm also closer to losing all of those things, every day. That's what aging is, and that's why we react so viscerally against it.

I used to be an athlete. Now, I have arthritis in my knees and shoulders, and my physical prowess is on a slow but inevitable decline. I make plenty of money, but that comes with significantly more responsibility, and the constant worry that I'm getting too old to be taken seriously as an engineer. I know who I am and what I want to do, but I worry that, despite all of the good choices I've made, I'll never be able to actually retire and do those things.

That's aging. I've been telling people I don't want to go to some shitty rock concert for decades. I didn't need to turn forty to feel that it was allowed.

But what is the lock-in with WeWork? It’s not like you have to rewrite the way you conduct meetings if you move from WeWork to ACME.

With things like hotels and travel companies, there is a hidden lock in with their integration with enterprise back end systems.

If there is any lock in, that’s my first guess as to where it would be: Big companies would integrate with WeWork tightly, and there would a lot of friction in setting up another company account, similar to what happens when big companies have a process around becoming an approved vendor.
