That seems a non-sequitur. In a free market, the price isn't driven by what the owner 'wants'. Throwing 'wealthy elite' in there seems like snobbery. That sentence doesn't mean anything.

A more interesting observation is, as population grows yet city infrastructure stagnates, housing prices go up. Something like that, that has actual logic behind it.
Yes (although it's truly impossible to say) I think that it's likely.

It sounds like the article is about the (proper noun) Long Term Stock Exchange, and whether or not it will make a difference. I tend to think of problems like that in the context of first asking "what is the Long Term Stock Exchange?" At the moment, at best it's a marketing ploy that advertises emphasis on long-termism, but without any approvals to do anything that they think supports long-termism. And the ideas they want to implement don't look feasible from a legal perspective. So, knowing these things, will it make a difference?
The article had a link to an AK-74, and I thought is that a typo for an AK-47? Apparently Russia moved on to the next generation in 1974 and the rest of the world remained with AK-47s?
Another case of “why we can’t have nice things”. In moderation things work. People start abusing liberties and they have to be taken away cuz people forget how to behave.
Yep. When we started our support was done through individual emails or a general support email (not tied to a ticketing system). That was fine when we were a 5 person company with 3 big customers.

As we scaled, we had to transition to a ticketing system, for the reasons you mentioned.

Slack definitely feels backwards in some ways especially if you use it as a channel for dealing with customer requests, especially if multiple people at customer site are part of the slack group.
The bill of rights doesn't mention anything about citizenship either. Lots of people at the time it was written wouldn't even have recognized that as a valid concept.

I disagree, because of what I posted before. This is not an issue idiosyncratic to Tech, and out of all the shenanigans they pull off, this might be one of the most vanilla ones. It's a little bit like (and I try not to strawman your argument) targeting the coal industry because they use this trick too. Yes, to add infamy, they dodge taxes as well, but more to the point, they do far more sinister things that should take priority (for that specific sector).

The tax evasion is a very important, but more general and unfortunately pervasive problem of our society. I believe we'll do it a disservice if we try to target it narrowly like that. It will get drowned out by whataboutism and the bigger but specific issues. None of that can derail it when looking at the bigger picture.

This is not really any different than customers clamoring to get the direct email/phone # of developers instead of going through the normal tech support process, or to clamor for daily meetings/phonecalls/sessions.

Slack might just be worse by degree.

I hate all of the above often having to "support" Tech Support.

I have often wanted to tell a customer, "We will not make progress on this till we stop updating you on progress every 5 minutes."

This stuff is even worse when you have an army of internal "Customer Success" types at a big company.
A cable in geosynchronous orbit isn't a problem. Of course the problem is it won't stay there: the dynamics are likely to be interesting.

I know this is meant to show some level of not knowing stuff being somehow correlated to a rise in level, but couldn't it be an example of successful use of abstraction. For example, if a manager leads a group of 5 people with diverse expertise, you would need that manager to know 5x as many things as each employee if they're really expected to be as deep as each. It seems that it would be hard to find such people. A more accomplishable strategy would be to learn who knows what and what are the top level fundamentals of each field so that the right questions can be asked.
No, that's just a standard Marxist lens on things. Nobody in Wall St was let off the hook because incompetence is not illegal, nor should it be. The masses aren't about to engage in counter capitalist revolution any more than they were 100 years ago. Big banks and corporations aren't a "team" that people play for, they're just ways in which resource allocation is organised. There is no control-appeasement, whatever that's meant to be. Just people trying to rule systems far too large and complicated for them, mostly at the behest of voters, and failing at it.
Containers aren't a magic bullet either. Surely the core of container systems is also "manual work in a for loop". You're right that the default 'ephemerality' of containers is (or can be) a plus but config management tools don't require one to treat one's servers as 'pets'.

> No config management is all-encompassing and so without extreme diligence you will lose the state of your servers over time.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "all-encompassing". Surely all of the popular config management systems have 'escape hatches' to let you do anything you could do from a shell, which seems pretty "all-encompassing" to me. But if you mean the config management system don't completely enforce a specific 'state' for managed servers then of course you're correct. Containers don't do that either, beyond periodically replacing running containers with new ones created from a base image (and even that's almost certainly not perfect either).

Unless your container hosts are entirely managed by someone else (and probably even not then, in the fullness of time), you're always going to "lose the state of your servers over time". There's (almost always?) some state somewhere that has to be explicitly managed and thus requires, generally, "extreme diligence".

I do agree that containerization and config management are very different but, like everything, it's 'just' another set of tradeoffs to be made, hopefully depending on one's actual or expected needs and wants.
Non-blanket L-1s are just really tough and probably the "best" example of irrational and unfair decision-making by USCIS. In short, extensive documentation of the structure/organization of the U.S. and foreign companies and of the employees managed and to be managed needs to be provided along with DETAILED descriptions of current and future managerial job duties. But L-1s are just tough and were tough even under the prior administration.
Maybe after hours, but paying people to manage that situation after hours probabbly isn't worth the PR.

Some teams fundamentally don't work to work in something like Slack, anywhere. That makes sense.

If you're using it internally, though, it probably makes sense to use with high-value customers, too. Slack's shared channels go a long way toward enabling teams to stay in their own space, on their own terms, while working together.

On its own, Slack isn't as well suited to working with customers -- notifications and confused ownership get complicated, and stuff starts to slip through the cracks.

We've helped teams scale up Slack-based support and customer management with an add-on called Frame for Slack (disclaimer: I work at frame.ai).

With @frame sitting in the channel, it's way easier to manage these channels just like a support system. Tailored escalation schedules to fetch only the people who need to respond in a given channel at a specific time, state management to remind people a conversation has not been resolved, and analytics to provide transparency into the level of effort by each person in each channel, responsiveness, full text search and reporting on the substance of historical messages, etc.

Study: Age of Humans Reversed by Years
I think that, once you're going that far back in history, it's pretty critical to keep track of the GNU/Linux distinction. Linus just wrote a kernel. And then the GNU userland, which had already been in development since the mid 80s, but was still somewhat lacking a workable kernel, was adopted as the official userland to use with the Linux kernel.

And at roughly the same time, IIRC, when Sun decided to migrate their Unix from a BSD flavor to a SysV flavor, which came to be called Solaris, they also used some GNU bits. Which might explain some similarities between the two.
> I have a feeling you're smart enough to know that's not the case and so you're resorting to a just plain bad argument that sounds ok if you don't look at it too hard.

It's a reasonable objection, and many have questioned whether its the moral duty of facebook engineers to quit over privacy issues. Blocking privacy mode is an extremely aggressive and intrusive stance, although some other publications followed suit. NYT is especially heavy on tracking [0] The journalist who write for the Times should take personal responsibility and find a different company or profession.

Linus literally means "Linus' Unix".

I believe Linus was doing a kernel for his comp-sci adventures in a Finnish uni, well-known for such capers ..

It sounds awful, and really there should be better-supported and more dignified social options to get people off the streets. But in the absence of those, I think you do have a point here.

> Where Slack helps me the most is asking my group questions which seem too small for an email, like "hey what is maximum RPM of the motor we are using?"

That's interesting, because I view this exactly the other way around -- an IM is like a phone call, in that if someone is sending one, it's because they have an urgent need and are expecting an immediate response. Email is for the lower-priority things.
Assuming that people start from the bottom, are you saying that their skills dull over time, or they never had them in the first place?

I'd suggest their skillset changes as they grow into their new role. As they transition from writing code to people wrangling, the code skills stop being important and new ones take their place. Same with attitude, they have to transition to a new focus.

That's not what prefer means. By your logic just as many people prefer to fly in private jets as fly economy, but that's a meaningless statement - they don't prefer it, they prefer cheaper options and to spend the money on other things. Clearly by any definition the vast majority prefer to buy phones cheaper than Apple sell them, but the high end Android market does great too. Really Android just dominates completely in every market and has done for a very long time, which is why Apple fans like to talk about Apple taking most of the profit (as if this is a good thing!).

My guess is that would be more expensive than what the index fund / ETF would cost you even in a worst case scenario. Read my comment where over the last 10 years Vanguard has only deviated by 1%, even after factoring in trading costs. A typical active fund is going to charge .5% per year, minimum, which adds up to 10% over 10 years, assuming a 7% annual return. A more typical 1% expense ratio is going to be 20%. Active management is extremely expensive. But trading yourself, unless you have a million, is going to be expensive, too. IF you wanted to DIY, $5 a trade adds up if you're putting money into multiple stocks every month. $1000 divided into 10 stocks a month is going to be a 5% expense before you even get started.

If you work in an environment where the 'rules' are followed then yes, that works fine. Turn off the notifications and go about your task.

However, not everyone has that luxury. In my office, we are required to keep slack running.
There are bullshit channels like #random, #memes, etc. that I have set to ignore. But then there are "Serious" channels where if the Boss speaks the expectation is complete participation.

#General <Boss> I want to make all the icons a corn-flower blue across all of our sites.

--Now here is an example of the boss being an idiot and interrupting 30% of the staff. The accountants don't care, neither do the secretaries, the Help-desk, the Customer-support, or the SysAdmins. But because the idiot starts the conversation in the wrong fucking channel every damn reply and conversation that is sparked because of this interrupts me.

Incorrectly using the "tool" disrupts everybody who does use it correctly. If this was an email, it'd be safely ignored for 4+hrs. I'm not mad at Slack, I'm mad at corporate overlords who shouldn't even be allowed to touch a computer.
But because Slack exists, I am forced to despise it.

I've got half a dozen other ways to send IM's to my co-workers. I never got interrupted in the past with bullshit like I do with Slack.
