I don't think that's limited to FAANG. My company needlessly reinvents the wheel, but I get the impression the reinvented wheel is more competently reinvented at FAANG than at my bank.
That was Microsoft for the longest time and it destroyed their work culture.
Yes but can they scale to 7B with 50 employees? And specifically can they run a business like LinkedIn with 50 (or 500 or whatever small number) employees.

I would argue the answer is no. If CL has a way to scale to that kind of revenue you'd think they would be doing it. One possible answer is the business they run just doesn't scale like that regardless of how many employees they have so it's better to keep things lean.

I'm all for running a lean business, and there are certainly plenty of examples. CL, Stack overflow, POF etc, and they have impressive revenue to employee ratios. But they don't necessarily scale linearly, and they don't have to. CL has 20m revenue per employee, that's impressive. But they likely won't be able to carry that ratio up to 10b in revenue. They also don't need to. The additional employee just need to bring more revenue than they cost.

If someone knows how to run a multi billion dollar global business with 50 people (and more specifically if they know how to do it with linkedin), there will be plenty of people lining up to talk with them and giving them money to do it.

> Neither of those things mean you did the right thing.

I find it hard to believe the right thing would involve either CloudFlare tolerating libel (my interpretation) about them by a customer or that we should always tolerate an unmitigated amount of free speech (at least the obviously political/religious speech originally envisioned) no matter the cost to {business, society, decency, morals, etc}.

What is "the right thing" to you in this situation?
I guess I’m confused by exactly that distinction...

If “more ambitious“ does not mean “willing to attempt harder” things, then what exactly does it mean?

Or do people just think that a founder successful VC-backed startup is not as “successful” as somebody who graduates from medical school or gets a PhD?

I had the experience of getting an all access pass to an NHRA event at Bandimere in Colorado a few years back. I stood behind the start line, about 15 yards for most of the event. Being that close to a top fuel drag car at launch was a sensory experience: extreme noise even with plugs inside of over-ear protection, sound waves pushing me back, bits of rubber hitting my legs, and a little bit of "rain" from the water in the exhaust falling.
Note that both development and production still happens in Europe.

To safely use SharedArrayBuffer you have to give something else up, like the ability to fetch arbitrary resources with <img>. Most sites that want SharedArrayBuffer would be fine with a tradeoff like this, and so this post describes a way they can opt in to the necessary restrictions.
It's the perennial HN question that ignores how much global companies need in-market sales, marketing, and support teams to grow.
And completely ignores the fact that internet penetration is mediocre at best, speed:price is horrendous compared to the nordic countries, and it's because of LACK of regulation. Had the US government enforced a 1-wire policy from the get-go (municipalities run single-mode fiber for the last mile and let ISPs compete at an aggregation point) we'd be world leaders instead of sad also-rans.

All of that is ignoring the caps that are starting to show up that will absolutely stifle innovation for the public internet. Or ISPs intercepting DNS traffic. Or insert any number of privacy violations. Claiming companies like Facebook and Google dominate because of the "open internet" of the US is laughably ridiculous. They exist because of our universities and GDP (which is more a result of WWII than any government deregulation). And given the current administrations insistence on locking down borders, I'd be more surprised if the US held its lead than Europe coming up with sufficient replacements.

OVH and Hetzner might not be AWS and Azure but they absolutely have the building blocks to compete if the market wants more players.
It's not "plain wrong." When minting a new currency you need a way to bootstrap it into being an accepted medium of exchange, and taxes help serve that purpose. They aren't the only method (and I'm not sure historically whether that was the case for the USD), but it isn't baseless.
Look at an up to date org chart of a tech company of 1.3k people and what they do: https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/org-chart/

If you now think that all business divisions have more work to perform due to scale, and that for development, you want to have more parallel streams of work, this should give you an approximate idea of what an order of magnitude larger company uses 10k people for.
While I agree, one plus is that some of the FHD displays are now extremely low power, with about 1-2W lower idle power consumption.

But I'm not sure why Lenovo doesn't make the low power display the baseline like HP did with their Spectre line.
Seems like they'll run into 'right to repair' issues, where they'll need to replace much of the electronics to get the proper access.
Under Spectre, if the attacker can run SharedArrayBuffer code in your process, even "sandboxed," it can read memory from anywhere else in that process.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDlfvfTJ_9e8Jdc8ehuV4zME...

So I guess you're right that if the sandbox "works" you don't care about cross-origin isolation, but it turns out that sandboxes don't work if you run multiple sandboxes in the same process.

The mitigation browsers have chosen is to isolate each origin in its own process, preventing other origins from communicating with it. To regain access to SharedArrayBuffer, you have to opt in to this extreme form of cross-origin isolation.

It would be nice to just make the whole web default to cross-origin isolation, but tons of websites rely on cross-origin communication features, and browsers can't just force them all to be compatible with isolation, so isolation has to be opt-in.
Broadband and mobile prices are far more reasonable in Europe than in the US. Unlimited data+calls for <20EUR has been a thing for several years now in Europe, and broadband for <30EUR as well.

Also the EU banned roaming fees and GDPR prevents the data reselling and privacy violations that carriers and ISP in other countries could introduce at some point.

On the other hand the US is unable to keep broadband companies from arbitrary price increases or per-building monopoly. Health care prices are also out-of-hand, it seems the US is happy to let their citizens getting ripped off as long as someone is making a big profit.

Going to add one more thing. I did a little research on what Chomsky's stated position on violent revolution is, and he feels it should be a last resort avoided if possible, as the welfare of the people often suffers. He generally advocates against all forms of violence.
I'm not particularly familiar with the matter, but the actions and wirittings are still subject to interpretation.

Some examples might be:

What was the reason for the confederacy to declare independence.

What were General E Lees motivations for joining the war.

What was the motivation for most soldiers (who were not slave owners) joining the war.

You can find hundreds of books disputing these topics.

I find the performative aspect to makes LinkedIn the most charming out of social media "cesspools", actually. The often vapid content and the professional personal branding exercises and optimism narratives are at least positive compared to the culture wars being fought on Facebook and Twitter.

Quora is just as much of a cesspool, except more frustrating because casual users are actually expecting to get something out of it, as opposed to people posting productivity listicles on LI.

Yup - and even the most obfuscated language's main (PHP) has a single entry point - that entry point is just in apache[1] which figures out which of your bazillion PHP files to execute.

This article is bordering on nitpicking.

full decentralization and seizure-resistance work as good guns against state tyranny
I'd be interested to hear peoples' experiences with complying with GPDR & expense. Ben is kind of a libertarian, and he takes it as an article of the libertarian faith that regulation simply entrenches incumbents/big companies by making it too expensive for new or smaller companies to break into a market. (He has made this point many, many times on Stratechery). Already in the private Stratechery forums, there's one person who said that he lead GPDR compliance for a startup and it wasn't expensive at all. What are other peoples' experiences with GPDR & cost?

And boy do they, I used to be a shared hosting administrator and sometimes people would do stupid things like create 10MB .htaccess files with the subnets of all of the countries they wanted to block and then would call to complain that their site was loading slow.

Your profile says you're a mechanical engineer. At research universities, 1 course per semester is typical in engineering departments. That's definitely not the case across all departments.
It's not just about profitability though.

I'm a bit rusty with my corporate finance, but internal rate of return (IRR) and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can dictate that even if an employee is making more than what they cost, the money could still be better allocated elsewhere.
It seems to me to be expressing a point about the nation in general. Sure, he and his family are probably fine for generations. It makes a lot more sense when applied as a trend for the average citizen of the nation.
This is a broken argument when you consider how the AGPL interacts transitively.

If this argument is based on users not modifying the code themselves, then you could use this loophole:

* I make changes to an AGPL app and distribute it to you

* You take my version verbatim and run it as a SaaS. You do not have to provide the source, as you yourself didn't modify it.

If this is the case, then the AGPL is meaningless, and equivalent to the GPL.

Alternatively, the "modified version" property persists across distribution. In this case, any time a third party contributes code upstream (without copyright assignment), they would be making upstream itself become a "modified version" in perpetuity. There is no concept of "upstream" in the license itself to provide an out here.

If this is the case, all users of the software are required to disclose that fact to their network users and provide source.

So pick your poison. Either the AGPL is broken and equivalent to the GPL, or it actually requires all users to follow the requirements of that section, regardless of whether they themselves have modified the code.

The real answer here is that the AGPL is a horribly vague license, the SaaS viral provision is extremely poorly written, nobody knows what it'll mean when interpreted by a judge, and you just should never use it. It's a bad license. A bad EULA.

> You can also follow up with any charity you grant to out of Charityvest yourself and ask them if they receive Charityvest's grants in a timely manner. Generally all charities will gladly confirm receipt of a donor gift

This is an important part to emphasize, and it's good practice IMO. My work does a year end charity drive through United Way - you can donate to any charity, but the donation has to be made through United Way to get work-related benefits (for example, a pizza lunch for the dept, etc).

I donate to my college every year during these year end drives, but I also book an appointment for the end of January to call up my college and verify they've received my donation.

This comment seems short-sighted. Code that can generate a working set of interlinked page elements from natural English? How on earth is that a gimmick? This is incredible. This is the Pong to the Crysis of 25 years from now, when we can describe entire applications into existence.

I can't fathom the mindset that dismisses this as a gimmick. Is the first step on every journey meaningless? And this isn't even the first step-- this is miles in!
PHP is actually my favorite here - since the standard way people use it (behind a webserver) means that old-style PHP had as many entry points as it had files which could get really confusing really quickly.

Modern PHP usage will generally concede the point now and pipe all requests through internal routing executed off of a single script exposed to the webserver/whatever.
I don't think particulates was an issue (but I couldbe wrong). The main issue was Nitrogen Oxide emissions.

Basically, when not in emissions testing mode, the engine was running at higher temperatures which improves fuel efficiency but generates more NO from atmospheric Nitrogen. Also, the vehicles had insufficently sized or simply missing diesel exhaust fluid (mostly urea and blue coloring) resevoirs, so not enough was injected to react with the NO to hit targets; injecting DEF into the engine also reduces fuel efficiency. There was also something about not properly cycling the special catalytic converter for NO, which would probably show an efficiency difference on long trips.

I sold back my VW diesel and stopped paying attention, it would be interesting to see what the measured real life fuel efficiency is before and after the changes required by regulators.

The article makes a lot of good points. I think people put way too much stock into the government not being able to regulate digital currencies. Besides the obvious technical advantages of a state power, they can simply create policy that turns people into criminals if they intentionally answer questions wrong on their tax returns.
My next hobby car is going to be something purely mechanical. New cars are virtually impossible to work on and have mountains of compromises to deal with.

I am not enjoying having a computer constantly between me and the road. I also don't like the new lower bound for car weight due to all of the modern safety regulations. Even if you have a modern car with a ton of power, you can never truly compensate for the physics equation imposed by all of that weight.

For example: A 1988 Honda Civic weighs somewhere in the realm of 2000-2200 lbs. A 2020 model year weighs somewhere between 2700-3000 lbs. This makes a huge difference in how a car feels to drive, especially at extremes that are more likely to be explored by enthusiasts.

Something like a BMW M3 E30 would be a dream hobby car for me. There is a reason the 80s-90s model years are starting to go up in value. Car enthusiasts want that sweet spot of purely analog controls, but also with working factory A/C.
