The key insight in what you wrote here, "(biggest client just saw our tooling stack and told us we're 10 years ahead of the ad agencies working in the same space)", is the word client.

If you are going to build your own ERP software, make sure that is the product your company is selling. The same goes for building a new 'web framework' for your web company. Never build a complex product from scratch if that isn't going to be your business. It never works out, because when you have to choose between revenue and improving something in your framework, you'll going to have to chose the former.

Years later, your company, if it is successful in doing what its supposed to do, is going to be paying big $ to retool and replace what you have built. The 2010s were the decade of teams replacing the custom shit they built in the 00s.
Why rural Kentucky and not Northern Florida or Georgia?
I view it from a totally different perspective -- I took 2 months off at the start (and my wife left her job a while before that). Since we had no hired helper (nanny or doula) during that time and had limited grandparents help, it was mostly the 2 of us baby-caring during the first 2 months. It was both rewarding and exhausting, and we both agree that it was the most physically-intense time of our lives, to the point where I don't know how either of us would survive without the other person also being there.

I honestly don't know how parents who have to go back to work do it (especially in a family where one parent goes back to work very soon). There's so much work for the mother that without the father also being there, it seems to me it would create a major rift in the relationship when it comes to understanding what the other person is going through. I theorize that the father not being there (and being at work) during those early months is a foundation of the collapse of a spousal relationship years down the road, for many couples.
Very enjoyable read, thank you.

I'd imagine simply turning off the "User Experience Program" opt-in is a flaky setting that probably gets reverted to "on" when you do updates etc

Facebook received enormous pressure after the 2016 election to get their platform under control and hired over 30,000 manual moderators to try to prevent their platform from being leveraged by malicious actors to spread misinformation. [1]

It's reasonable that Twitter should begin to be less permissive on their platform too, to get ahead of controversies that might occur on their platform in the upcoming election. Twitter political threads are still lawless wastelands full of incendiary comments from suspiciously bot-like accounts, so clearly something has to be done.

The obligatory xkcd! They should have known, right?
Just the opposite: it's perfectly normal for people to classify things, people, ideas, to have all kinds of such thoughts - it's normative and healthy.

It is not sinful or flawed in any way.

That this happens among 'all kinds of people' is not hugely relevant.

That people would try to classify normal behavior as examples of racism is extremist.

In some situations, said subconscious thoughts might alter decision making in small ways is something we should be aware of, but even then it's not 'sinful' and the mere suggestion is at the root of the problem.

We're not talking about actual racists here, we're talking about ladies knitting groups and the minor triflings that develop into purity wars.
I'm down a similar route, but I must point out that beyond a certain number of users / scale, Serverless becomes cost-prohibitive. For instance, per back-of-the-napkin calculation, the Serverless load I run right now, though very cost-effective for the smaller userbase I've got, would quickly spiral out of control once I cross a threshold (which is at 40k users). At 5M users, I'd be paying an astonishing 100x the cost than if I hosted the services on a VPS. That said, Serverless does reduce DevOps to an extent but introduces different but fewer other complications.

As patio11 would like to remind us all, we've got a revenue problem, not a cost problem. [0]

Apparently the US Department of Justice told them they were in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. [1]

"The Justice Department, following an investigation, in August determined that the university was violating the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. The department reached that conclusion after receiving complaints from two employees of Gallaudet University, saying Berkeley’s free online educational content was inaccessible to blind and deaf people because of a lack of captions, screen reader compatibility and other issues."

The ADA does not apply in Europe but I have no idea what Belgian/EU laws there are.

I am guessing that the poster is referring to 시원하다, for which I would use the "refreshing" definition instead of the "cool" definition in the example of a hot broth. It is also used in similar way for the refreshing feeling of a sauna.
Ehhh, it can be (there used to be ads in the back of the Economist for this sort of thing). The hard part is getting correspondent relationships with bigger banks (i.e. a bank account for your bank).

The difficulty of that exercise is supposed to be directly proportional to the AML/KYC reputation of the jurisdiction granting the charter.

Exceptions abound, of course, and possession of incriminating video of a bank executive might make it a lot easier.

A little bit of overkill recommendations here.

With 10 users you don't "need" to separate out the database layer. Heck you don't need to do that with 100 users. Website I ran back in 2007-2010 had tens of thousands of users on a single machine running app, database, and caching fine.

Users are actually a really poor way use for scalability planning. What's more relevant is queries/data transmission per interval, and also the distribution of the type of data transfers.

I'd say replace the "Users" in this posts to "queries per second" and then I think it's a better general guide.
I wonder what the comfortable medium between privacy and letting developers get feedback about how well their code works is. It seems to me like Wacom just wants to know if their drivers work, so they can focus engineering efforts around fixing the issues that are affecting their users. "Oh hey, the new beta of Photoshop breaks our drivers!" They don't make a "cloud product" and they have an obligation to make their hardware work with any software the user might want to use, so they are kind of painted into a weird corner here. If they collect data to drive their engineering, they're spyware. If they collect no data, they're a bug-ridden disaster area whose product you would never buy.

I am guessing that the answer will be "they should test everything in house and tell users to complain via email when shit is broken"... but we all know that synthetic QA is never going to be as good as "ground truth", and that 99% of users will just silently be unhappy. So I wonder what the privacy balance is here.

As a person from India I feel literally nothing. Yeah this lady is over-exoticising India but that's between her and her eventual disappointment. But she's not wrong that India is VERY different and it's not wrong to compare it to going to another planet. Exaggeration is at the heart of excited metaphors.

I’ve worked with Salesforce a little (previous company used it and I worked closely with the SF team). It’s easy enough to get started - Apex is basically a stunted version of Java - but the dev and deploy workflow is very uh, “cloud native”, so working from home initially could be challenging depending on the experience the client has with SF, how many devs they have, etc.

All in all though Salesforce is pretty accessible for learning. Plenty of resources out there, and I know SF consultants make nice money.

Never getting kubernetes support killed it.
We now use a DigitalOceans managed database with 0 standby nodes, coupled with another instance running Django. It is working good.

We are however actually thinking about switching to a new dedicated server at another provider (Hetzner) where we are looking at having the Web server and the DB on the same server, however the new server will have hugely improved performance (which is sometimes needed), still at a reduced cost compared to the DigitalOcean setup.

The thing we are doubting is if having a managed db is worth it. The sell in is that everything is of course managed. But what does this mean in reality? Updating packages is easy, backups as well (to some extent), and we still do not use any standby nodes and doubt we will need any replication. So far we have never had the need to recover anything (about 5 years). Before we got the managed db we had it in the same machine (as we are now looking at going back to) and never had any issues.

Any input?

For that lawsuit and those universities after they paid out the settlement and legal fees. Another university that has old lectures can still get sued for those in a separate lawsuit. Then they'd need to pay out a settlement, legal fees and so on to maybe get to keep old videos up. The lawyers suing won't care, they just want the settlement money. Easier to just get rid of all the videos.

Historically CoreOS was the first OS you could easily PXE boot and have a working container host without performing installation. This was supported not as a secondary thought, but specifically designed to make scale out easier.

A lot of these concepts and benefits apply when you consider cloud images as opposed to PXE boot images. With CoreOS, there was little difference in configuration with these two patters, if the infrastructure had the same topology you could essentially use the same config (VM or Baremetal).

Google Ventures also invested money in CoreOS at one point.
I'm not surprised. I have a Pixel 3 to test stuff with and the quality of the apps just doesn't compare. It seems that Apple customers are just more willing to pay, so they get much better apps. iOS is also far easier to create great apps for - Android app development is an unmitigated disaster in comparison, particularly when it comes to things that are very important in 2020: video and photo capabilities. So not only is it harder to build apps, you make much less money as well if you do. So it's not surprising there aren't many apps worth paying for on there. And on top of that you're also selling to people who statistically have much less money to begin with.

> In the worst-case scenario, in which sea levels rise by six feet by 2100, ...

Where does six feet come from?

It seems very suspicious. It contradicts NOAA Sea Level Trends data of tide gauge measurements, going back to 1930 and sometimes earlier. According to the map, in almost all places in US the projected sea level trend is no more than 1-1.5 feet by 2100:

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.html

What is more, the trend is clearly linear from the start of the measurement. The trend hasn't changed in recent years.

For example, see data from the gauge in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, from 1932: "The relative sea level trend is 4.09 millimeters/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.2 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from 1932 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 1.34 feet in 100 years."

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....

Gauge in Lewes, Delaware, data from 1919: "The relative sea level trend is 3.48 millimeters/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.23 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from 1919 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 1.14 feet in 100 years."

I agree with Yann here ... I think the demand for explainability is like a person asking for a "faster horse" when what they really need is a car.

When people ask for explainable models, what they really want (in my opinion) is calibrated and robust uncertainty estimates .

Good uncertainty estimates would let them know when to trust a model's prediction and when to ignore it.

For example, a model trained to predict dog breeds should know nothing about cat breeds, and there should be some way to quantify when it doesn't know!

I've been doing a review of techniques that are becoming more popular in this area:

I consider the nut of the problem to be informed consent. If you have user's informed consent to get the feedback, then there is no problem. If you don't, then the whole operation is unacceptable.

And no, mentioning it in the privacy policy or terms of use don't count as "informed consent".
