As mentioned the first one is not having a cofounder who isnt in your immediate family, which for some people is fine and for me is honestly a waste of time and equity. Just another vector for failure.

Beinf grossly irresponsible with your companies' funds is an interesting way of saying "I tried to pay myself without the detailed advice of a skilled accountant and I made an oopsie and now the judge says I need to pay a lawyer ${sum_i_dont_have} to protect a random plantiff from becoming the new owner of my house"

Again, how amazing is your idea and execution and business networking capabilities that you somehow think you are gonna make more than $2.2M in 10 years of work, like you would at Google?

We’ve been using Convox[0] for the last 2 years. I’ve been pretty happy with how simple it is to work with. We’re still on version 2 which uses AWS ECS or Fargate. Version 3 has migrated to k8s and is provider agnostic. We just haven’t had the bandwidth to upgrade yet.

Your'e exactly right - at least one large state university (UT Austin) has explicitly set a student dying a scenario that would cause them to close: https://www.texastribune.org/2020/07/17/ut-austin-reopening-....
I'm surprised Social Media networks don't convey when your data is actually 'deleted'. This approach seems a little more evident in the "archive" status on Instagram.

A flag to mark data for deletion makes sense at scale.. given the number of other automated processes that run more often than a few times a year.. the user should be in control of their information and intent.

Little changes over time, so you don't see the end game right away. Signed exchanges and further hacking up / hiding the URL will come. This change only hides some of the URL, with a hover action that shows it again.
I moved to nixos and to be honest I don't miss much using docker.
You can restrict your app pretty easily on linux without using a container.

The reason I moved away from containers was because of a linux kernel bug which slowed down network requests through docker. I was working on a latency sensitive application at the time, so I just moved nginx and my containers to real machines.

Setting up things manually wasn't great, especially when deploying to multiple machines, so I just wrote a few different nix configurations and created some Digital Ocean machines with nixos-infect as a init script.
There was definitely a learning curve as the language is peculiar (2-3 days to get nginx + postgres + redis + python app), but after doing it once I can pretty much deploy anything I want in a fast and immutable way. Replicating a similar system with a node.js app took less than a hour.

Changing something on the fly is still possible and you have access to everything. I run everything as a systemd services that I can limit with cgroups.

You may run into problems if you're relying on an old package that it's not on nixpkgs, but adding local derivations is quite straightforward (and you can always take inspiration from nixpkgs).
On a smaller timescale this has happened over the last 4-6 decades as well. My parents and grandparents didn't learn to cook with an instant read thermometer, digital scale, microwave, instant pot, sous vide machine, etc. I am not a talented cook but I am decent at RTFM and taking measurements so I can make decent meals some times. It makes cooking in a consistent way very easy compared to the learning curves they would had to have gone through.
Agreed; the Nixon deepfake in the OP is pretty good, but all three of these sound immediately artificial.

You might be interested in the restaurant Next in Chicago. From the Wikipedia:

>Rather than stick with one type of cuisine, Next completely changes its style every few months, focusing on a different time period, parts of the world, or various abstract themes for each "season" of its menu.

Next's very first menu was "Paris 1906" which was based on Escoffier's dishes from that year.

>> I have no idea how these places are still in business this year

Around here the shops are all nearly sold out and have been since May. It's crazy busy and sales are BOOMING for all of them. The largest shop has racks for probably 200ish bikes, and there was maybe a dozen in the entire store last time I was in there a few weeks ago. Bicycle sales are awesome this year in my area. I assume next summer there will be more than a few of those bikes bought this year listed on craigslist "used 3 times last year" :-)
I think microsoft.scamsite.com would fool most of the people that scamsite.com/microsoft would. It's a very difficult problem. Can't we have something like certificates for domains, so we can at least trust the most potentially vulnerable cases?
When it comes to Mozilla, "community project" is often equivalent to dead project. There are exceptions - Thunderbird appears to be doing OK - but my experience with Mozilla is that community is an afterthought - a place to hopefully get some free labour.

That said, Servo did seem to be one of the more lively places, so perhaps it will continue.

Well, I have to make a living catering to people (on mostly my terms and my time frame) complaining about things they have no intention of trying to do anything else about… seeing the complaints and lack of solutions adopted is a good sign for a captive market :P
I would argue against the comment in the article that Safari is a joke.

It is a fair criticism of Apple that they limit new experimental features to promote native apps, but looking at this a user perspective (OK, just my perspective) is that I want functional web apps that perform a service (good examples our the web interfaces for ProtonMail, FastMail, and Gmail) for use cases that truly need a web app, but for most "content centric" web sites I want great content and pleasant looking layout - things that can be achieved with HTML and CSS.

To continue my little rant, the noise to signal ratio is getting so bad on the web that I now try to find people who really have something useful to say (Ryan Holiday, Azeem Azar, Matt Taibi) and pay for content.

I think tech like WASM is cool, but its proper use cases are few and far between.
I still don't get why we're all writing bugs in production software in the first place. I know it's a time-honored tradition in this field, but I'm starting to think the practice is a net negative -- at least we should cut back a bit to be able to respond to requests like this in a timely fashion.

Man. Warren would have been the perfect VP pick.

Agree! Many authors used and use pseudonyms of their own gender, so it is not like the only reason to use a pseudonym is to avoid gender prejudice. The choice of pseudonym is part of the work itself.

Some authors are very deliberate about it, e.g. Søren Kierkegaard wrote under a host of different pseudonyms, all deliberate chosen, and also published some books in his own name.
Seems unlikely, considering they're also pushing for signed exchange (SGX) which also does the same thing.
> people rely on wood for heating in winter.

Planting trees and burning them is the perfect example of a carbon neutral thing to do. Not sure what is your point here. The problem is adding new carbon into the biosphere, as we are doing today.
It is not crazy and not rare. I can sue you right now, personally, and you would need to pay someone to defend you in court.

If you've never owned a business and have no relation to me, then probably you'll survive the suit just fine.

But as you can see, OP had a business relationship with the person involved, and though OP probably won the suit in the end, he still had to pay oodles of money to protect himself. And if he lost, well, then there's my point.
> the lack of commercial apps is another problem it should work on (when it comes to people's needs)

I think that's a losing proposition. People like me who use Linux have mostly everything they need -- and there really is a lot for the Linux desktop these days. The people who need "commercial apps" are on Windows and MacOS already, and for them, the Linux experience will always be subpar (I'm assuming for them the vast quantities of FOSS are either not enough, or not easy to use). Moving to a "commercial desktop" like Canonical seems to be trying to do will result in a failure and alienate the current userbase who loves Linux for what it is. Attempts at gatekeeping, doubly so... just look at the reactions against every move Canonical does in this direction.
> Can anyone describe why one might use Ansible over Terraform?

Anywhere you're dealing with bare metal you can't really use Terraform. Terraform also doesn't get you much within a host, so to speak. One example of that idea, if you use Packer to bake AMIs, with Ansible as the provisioner, you get the simplicity of Packer with the integrated secrets management and templating of Ansible.

Also, not everything is an immutable infrastructure change. Sometimes you just need to do things repeatably against a set of hosts, and Ansible is good at that.
This is my biggest concern. They’re going to charge students full price, force them on campus along with all the expense that entails, and once the bursar’s office is sufficiently flush send them all home again.

Considering every college in America takes federal student loan money this seems like a really easy place for the federal government to take decisive action to force a semester online and cap charges for the benefit of students and the federal budget.
In 8 years things will change, I had an idea to start a used book selling platform back in 1998. The same idea won't work now.
At the point of comparison in 2016, both games were in early access, and, I think, both games were enjoyable. Factorio had a more complex late game in terms of available structures and they had liquid pipes which is a major feature. But Satisfactory also had some things Factorio did not like varied terrain, automated trucks and some interesting first person elements.

You're right about the early funding. Factorio started out with just €21,626 of crowd funding. But after a while they do seem to have reached similar levels given the comparable staffing levels they have now.

What do you mean, "voluntary"? Infants and children are subjected to all kinds of things in the course of their upbringing with zero consent of any kind, diet included.

And I'd love to see any sources you might have for saying that going vegan from birth is "not proven" (ignoring the fact that nothing is "proven" in science). This recent (2019), multi-center, peer-reviewed article establishes that plant-based diets are perfectly feasible from birth, but I'm curious to see research from the "other side": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6356233/

And I know about the 3 billion people who need fish to not stave.

Is that really true? I find it hard to believe.
>"Sustainable fishing" means just that the populations do not decline. "Zero tolerance for marine mammal bycatch" has nothing to do with this.

Why should only the targeted fish population levels be considered when determining if it is sustainable? Wouldn't that encourage bycatching, as the elimination of a predator would allow you to catch more fish?

>Taken literally, it's also a completely unattainable goal, which makes me doubt the authors' intentions.

Taken literally, it means every marine mammal bycatch faces punishment, a completely obtainable goal.

Lean websites are NOT featured in the Top Stories carousel, only AMP websites, so this is not primarily about page speed. If page speed would be the main reason for AMP, they'd simply continue to demote websites that have poor performance in search results, and they'd curtail the main bloat from sites in Chrome, ads and trackers.

But I agree that Google has used this talking point successfully so far to bully publishers into giving up autonomy on their websites in exchange for being featured in top results, even when these sites have a great score on PageSpeed Insights.
The more these discussions progress, the more I wonder if there is really only one solution. We need less people. Trying to convince 8 billion people to do something like never eat meat or fish seems like an impossible goal. We need to raise the standard of living in countries that reproduction rates > 2. We could also remove tax breaks for kids after the second in developed countries to mitigate the incentives for extra children. Maybe if we only had 4 billion people, we might be able to have everything be sustainable. Such a hard problem to solve.
After so many years (perhaps starting with the East India Company), the result is that these mega-corporations have finally reached a point where they have had both the power and control of the reins for so long, that life as we know it is not possible without them. We will demand that our ineffective government step aside and that our corporations step up - we will choose to have them technocratically manage us. And the boot up of governance 2.0 will be complete.

My own PoV, is that I wanted governance 1.0 rolled back!
I agree that, once you figure it out, the sense based instincts is an easier way to cook. I would argue though, that modern cooking tools make learning those instincts much easier because you can use the tools to fly by instruments, so to speak, so you can get a feel for what looks, smells, sounds, and feels right.
As engineering manager of a large household name company you really should know better. PII isn't even a term under the GDPR.

But feel free to play fast and loose with this and see where it ends up, as far as I'm concerned it can't happen fast enough that regulators crack down on companies that wilfully ignore the law.

The GDPR does not say to 'soft delete', it says to delete, and that you should make every reasonable effort to do so.

The term 'soft delete' does not occur even once in the reference text for the GDPR. That there are valid cases for soft delete may be true but these are not the norm, they are the exceptions. The owner of the data (end user) has agency. If you wilfully ignore their instructions then you are prime game for the regulators. Whether this data is privacy sensitive or not doesn't matter, the only reason you might be allowed to hold on to it is if there is a legal requirement to do so.

Whether the industry as a whole has not caught up with the law - and Square apparently in particular - is a red herring, it should have caught up by now. That companies chose to spend their resources on other things than compliance isn't my problem, but it will be their problem.

If you are familiar with the rules in the United States but not the ones in Europe then why do you tell me how the GDPR works when clearly you have no clue.

Our compliance officer would have a field day auditing you and you are dangerously incompetent to make all these claims in public representing a company that has a lot of business in Europe and plans to do a whole lot more.

Shops that do well are shops that earn their place as community hubs, and that's a pretty organic process. It takes time and care to build trust.

I am very lucky, my LBS has all of sheldon's old bikes on the wall next to the mechanic's station.

Data that I wanted to delete isn't necessary for the functioning of the service, so doesn't that mean the GDPR requires it to be hard-deleted within a reasonable time?

I don't think Chrome's security features had anything to do with its ascension. Chrome took off because it was fast and had a good UI (iirc it had the ability to drag a tab from one window to another, a while before other browsers did).

The average user knows nothing of the security features of their browser.

But is it all that relaxing to build and run a complex virtual factory? Sometimes if the level of difficulty is too high it can become stressful.

I understand that there's satisfaction in it. That satisfaction can be hard to get at work sometimes. At work, you can be asked to work on things you don't like, that sometimes feel even more pointless than a game.

Part of the reason why I have programming side-projects at home is because they're an outlet to get the satisfaction of building software the way I want to.

I agree that it is still worthwhile to do what you can.

If large numbers of people stopped using just Google search and gmail, Google would most definitely notice and feel it hard. Or to phrase it differently, the choices of individual users absolutely can still decide the fate of these companies. This sounds obvious, but is not always true (it would be much harder for individual preferences to dethrone Microsoft, for example).
Teleport (https://gravitational.com/teleport/) has been fairly useful, basically a ssh bastion solution with short term (hours) keys. They have an open source tier. Downside is that the company is really small, support is scarce after the check clears, and all their future development seems geared towards kuberneetes and IOT. So if you just want a reliable bastion with key management they aren’t really interested in your demographic.
