Hi, I work on Crux :)

1) Crux is schemaless at its core, but you can build your own ~class hierarchy model using regular attributes and Datalog rules to differentiate between types of entities.

2) Subscribing to arbitrary Datalog without any form of polling requires a fundamentally different form of query algorithm (i.e. incremental view maintenance, as seen in Materialize), however there's a whole spectrum of possibilities available if you are willing to accept polling at some level. Hasura has quite an inspiring take on subscriptions that we may yet try to recreate on top of Crux: https://hasura.io/blog/1-million-active-graphql-subscription...

Slack CEO's notes on their complaint against Microsoft
I definitely agree. The space being validated is a fantastic thing (I have also been building a product in the space). I believe this space is big enough for multiple participants, each solving the same problem in slightly different ways.

I agree with the other responses; everyone is working on the same problem, but from what I've seen no one is just a copy of someone else's work.
>paying taxes to, or simply being a member of the US (or almost any country) is contributing to a platform that is directly responsible for human harm.

I agree with that. But I also assert that people have an ethical obligation to opt-out of systems that cause harm when / if they are able, or at least advocate to change them.

I don't have the ability to change Facebook. But I have the ability to opt out of it, though my actions on the Internet, and the ability to advocate for others to do the same. So, here I am.

When was the last time you worked with many CS students versus amateur developers and could really compare?

These are shallow takes because they're always reflections on personal experience and not really a view of others. Or when it is about others, it's extremely shallow - this article's take is "is salary times expected employment probability minus degree cost positive" which is basically saying nothing at all.

MOOCs like EdX and Coursera have deeply harmed CS degree quality. The most striking evidence for this isn't the crummy completion rate or as you're eluding to, lack of coercion or whatever. It's that in my experience with Harvard and Stanford interns, whose curriculum these MOOCs copy, the quality of the student declines with the number of years they have spent in their institution's CS program. In other words, freshmen and sophomores outperform seniors and just-recent grads!

This is crazy, how could that be? By putting everything on rails. In MOOC CS50x and CS50, as long as you follow all the steps in the videos, you will complete the course with an A+. After the first few problem sets you're conditioned that if you're thinking too much you're doing something wrong because it's supposed to be on rails, it's supposed to be easy enough that you can just complete it by reviewing or copying. There is no space in that class for thinking, you should not be puzzle solving, the things that look like puzzle solving only look that way, they are not actual puzzle solving. It is an amusement park ride for entitled and mediocre people disguised as an elite university course.

This makes sense for what the goals are. It's not really about education. It's about the psychic pleasure of feeling like you learned something challenging. It's about preparing someone for a corporate gig, where in reality it is really bad if a junior person is doing any thinking - they really should be going out there and cramming, copying something or asking someone for the right answers! David Malan and Andrew Ng gave people want they wanted, that is capitalism, that is okay, it just isn't necessarily education.

How is performance defined? What am I asking these students to do? Something original. Like at the end of the day you want people to sit in front of computer and solve an original weird problem, MOOCs will unprepare them for that.

This is a good articulation of the modern view of SV captial, but it is somewhat problematic.

In a nutshell, 'Round A' is now a form of scaling money. Early, but essentially: you need to build a product that the market really loves, before you get any substantial money.

It would seem that VC is really de-risked themselves, obviously to their advantage. This is somewhat the natural equilibrium in a world where it's easy to start some kind of companies with little effort.

However, there are always going to be a lot of initiatives that require some capital to make it work. This is of course, very dangerous territory for VC to play in (i.e. before Product-Market-Fit) but then, they do have 'Venture' in their titles.

It's to the point wherein we could start to consider Round B and later firms merely a slightly different form of Private Equity.

Is anything really that important going to be 'productised' for $500K-1M i.e. on seed money?

And really, it's interesting in that, if a company does actually have good product market fit ... traditional VC terms might seem a little expensive.
Then, suddenly, the day arrives when battery tech has advanced to the point where it's obvious even to casual observers that battery tech is the future. Hell, it's the present by then. We're almost there. Battery tech is still following an exponential decline in price/performance.

Problem is, now the rest of the industry is 10 years behind. They were hoping to just buy this tech from their suppliers, but so is everyone else. All profit gone in a bidding war. Making your own requires double-digit billions of investments (OK, plausible) and 10 years lead time. Let's be super charitable and say 5 due to the existence proof and leaky personnel. Now they've got to catch up while their newly equal-sized competitor eats their lunch.

Classic innovator's dilemma, and it's as obvious today as it was in 2013. Probably more.

> So I have a real issue with not just telling the patient flat out that their test results indicate a high risk of having cancer and they need to be tested again.

The problem is that "tested again" has its own complications.

This is not theoretical. Part of the reason for updating the breast cancer screening guidelines is the fact that biopsies to confirm were causing more problems than the "cancers" they were finding.

Medical probabilities are tricky things.

> Skip the degree. It's expensive and you'll never recoup the cost.

Counterpoints: the vast majority of people in the industry will have technical degrees. A degree makes getting that first job much, much easier. In fact going to the right schools with good internship connections can be the easiest and most direct way to get a job at FAANG. Finally college can be an enriching and fun experience. If you are already going to make enough of money to live/retire well, you may consider it well worth it to trade 4 extra years of career/income for the social/academic experience of college.

Just take the first example from wikipedia:

</param>
</params>

The thing is meant to call arbitrary functions with arbitrary arguments. It doesn't take long until there is a straight up exec functions exposed or some accidental command injection.

It's strange to look at it 20 years later. The adoption of JSON really got developers to stop shipping RCE vulnerabilities every other week. Yet nobody must have thought of that when deciding what to use.
C-level at a startup is probably comparable to middle-manager at most companies, so like 10 reports. CEO track means you're in charge of like a hundred people minimum. You don't apply to jobs any more in the traditional sense. Companies hire executive placement firms to hire you. For your area, you probably need to find VPs from the big companies there and ask them about how their career path goes.

If you want to get rich in finance go to Harvard and get your MBA, and then just follow what everyone else around you in your class is doing.
Trump is also directly supporting the US beating China in technology. He doesn't care how it is done or what the technology is. This is just like he doesn't care how riots are stopped just that they are stopped. It wouldn't be the least bit surprising if he told somebody on his team to get it done and they handled the arrangements.

Maybe he genuinely wants to stop crime? You shouldn't assume somebody's reasons for doing stuff when you don't actually have any proof.

Do you have an example? All videos I have seen have uniforms, just not the normal police uniforms.

> or use civilian vehicles.

This is extremely common throughout the west under certain circumstances. It is especially common for federal agencies more so than state / local. The reason you use civilian vehicles is to prevent the person you are trying to apprehend from realizing you are police. If somebody knows they are going to be arrested they may flee or grab a weapon. Some of the people they are arresting are quite possibly the same people who have thrown bricks at police officers. Some of the police have been hit in the head with bricks. Its completely understandable an officer wouldn't want give the suspect additional time to get a weapon when dealing with people like that.

There was a piece, where the pilot explained why airports are not in favor of accepting AN225 for landing and takeoff on theirs runways:
they have to check the runway surface after landing/takeoff.
but even more crucial (not now, but in those times) is that suitable for landing airports are in most cases are those with high throughput of aircrafts and tight schedule and according to the international safety regulations it is possible give permittion for the next takeoff only after 7-10 min due to turbulent wake(is it the right term?). while common passenger flights have an interval of 30 sec

> When was the last time you worked with many CS students versus amateur developers and could really compare?

I work in a very technical area where you need to have taken a PDEs course to even understand what's going on. The only amateur developers who can even carry on a conversation about the work have math or engineering phds.

> There is no space in that class for thinking, you should not be puzzle solving, the things that look like puzzle solving only look that way, they are not actual puzzle solving. It is an amusement park ride for entitled and mediocre people disguised as an elite university course.

Being a generic software developer cog in a giant corp sounds soul-crushing. I think smart students who have the drive and intelligence to learn CS on their own should seriously consider if that's the type of job they want.
That's not true.

Many people can self-learn. Those same people often cannot perform well in school because school is rigid and authoritarian.

I'm definitely one of them and my career refutes your idea quite heavily. I'm absolutely not the only one.

Doubling down on debt and the system with another advanced degree is dangerous advice.

If you cannot self-learn, you find out relatively fast and with little cost. Not true for the above advice.

Becoming a medical doctor is anti-advice? Is attending Harvard Law or Stanford's CS PhD program also anti-advice? I know this is a tech forum, but jeeze. The lack of appreciation for the world of fulfilling career choices outside pounding out code and managing people who pound out code is a bit concerning.

I guess there's a small population of people who aren't good at school but can self-learn how to program. I agree that for those people a DIY CS degree is good advice.

However, I also think that there's a substantial intersection between people who would get bored doing generic software dev and people who can self-learn CS.
On the contrary, it's the best strategy for reducing risk in modern web service architectures.
Why Niching Down Works: A Statistical View
I worked in the apparel industry for many years; From what I remember, Uniqlo focused obsessively on quality control and unit economics.

They have very few fabrications that are shared across many styles so they can order an entire mill's supply for a season in some cases. In this industry segment, materials costs can be ~70% of total production cost so this make an enormous impact.

They outsource to factories outside of Japan, but they will
send in their own operations team to do production line setup and training. Their tolerances were very tight and QC process rigorous. If you walk into a factory, you will see Uniqlo branded posters up everywhere with "10 rules of quality control" and the like.

My former employer really prized hiring the same factories that Uniqlo used because we knew the QC was going to be a step above and the unit costs optimized.
Sure, if you assume fraud then anything goes. But barring that, GAAP is a well tested metric. It's been often gamed and then patched to plug the holes.
your comment in a nutshell:

- Linux kernel = dead end
- Embedded = dead end
- Front End/UI/UX = great opportunities

I don't think you could be wronger. In a few years the no-code movement is going to completely demolish front-end development but there's still going to be a lot of high paying jobs for embedded linux experts. You'd be surprised how few people there are that can even plug in a raspberry pi.
For me, Microsoft Teams installed itself one day, unprompted. In order to remove it, I uninstalled it.

Pick a base k.

Raising k by both sides yields

Musk said a few conference calls ago that Tesla doesn't really have a long-term ambition to make a significant fraction of their profits from S/X. I believe he said "keeping them around for sentimental reasons", which is probably overstating it a bit.

It's probably a bit controversial to say this, but haven't large sites had to deal with these problems for years by the time the likes of Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/Instagram/whatever came around?

I don't think at the same level. Social media usage went from 10% of the population to 79% from 2005 to 2015 and was even lower a few years before this. So current social media companies operate at unprecedented scales. Moreover, the smaller percentage of people usage social media in earlier times tended to be "sophisticated users" who didn't necessarily expect their feed to be systematically filtered.

That's somewhat tangential to the item at hand isn't it? We are talking about open source, not about hackability or the rather vague term of 'openness'. One could argue that a device that is usable to a lot of people is 'open' and devices that all require their own teaching/learning are not.
This is usually just an excuse to entrench status quo behavior. People don’t like being confronted with needs for radical change, so they invent reasons why it would violate social norms to espouse anything perceived that way.

Challenging the established plan at the 11th hour is often critical because nobody validated the plan would succeed with customers or actually was viable with engineers etc.

Lobbying to get something in the roadmap may be critical because the whole process is bullshit politics and nobody is actually solving customer needs.

The bigger and more bureaucratic the company, the more urgently needed an agent of chaos really is.

I especially hate that this article associates it with being a manager or leader.

“A good leader just smiles and eats the shit, doesn’t stir up controversy.” That’s not any leader I want to work for or become.

I'm not surprised that there are loads of attacks like this. On QI recently (a TV prog in the UK) a series of images were presented showing just how asymmetric our faces are.

Try taking a photo of your face or someone you know with as near symmetric lighting etc as you can manage. Now cut the image vertically and mirror each half and compare visually.

Frightening isn't it?

Now add fancy patterns that can be hidden within an image that eyes miss but algos don't. AI does not see the way you and I do. It can't. AI can be twiddled constantly to get it into line with what we perceive and we could call that evolution. In 200M years it might be quite good.

I suspect that progress will be faster than that but those machines can't type on a keyboard balanced on its knee whilst drinking wine and admiring a landscape with a setting sun whilst worrying about how to shop tomorrow, now masks are compulsory.

I was just responding to the part where you mentioned that good and bad actors had the same access before this program, which isn't true. (And it still probably isn't true, since I hear these devices are research fused and you can buy developer fused devices–or more recently, swap out your production-fused device's CPU–from the black market.)

To individual researchers, yes, this gives them a new option–I guess that is good? What I am concerned about is that it is an attractive option for them and they get locked into whatever disclosure timeline/research focus Apple wants them to have. You could of course say that they could leave the program at any point and go back to how it was before, but I think people are generally reluctant to lose access to things.

We've been in similar situations several times. We're serving a niche, but this niche is a core piece of our customers business. Without software like ours, their whole operation stops.

Anyway, we'd have demos. Department heads were on fire, wondering if we could install same day we had demo, all smiles, everything looked great. And then we lost because someone higher up decided we were "too small". We're small, but we're pretty much the best in our niche and we have had very solid financials for decades.

Those we lost went with bigger, supposedly "safer" competitors and had some very sub-par years with them before they had to pay their way out of those contracts and come back to us.
