Absolutely, having a service that just listens on port 80 is so much simpler to reason about. I would also add a much easier development setup, as well as deployment to your list of advantages.

That said, having a Go service just be exposed to the wild wild internet may not be a smart idea. Take a look at this issue [1], it is perfectly clear that Go services (relying on net/http) still need babysitting by a competent reverse proxy. It is a case where Go's mantra about simplicity leads to leaky abstractions and just clearly immature solutions.

Also not talking about TLS certs, WAF and other concerns that also may bring nginx etc on board anyhow.

Inflating has an implied value judgement which might not be warranted. Because the SAT scores are useful to the applicant, there is a growing industry helping students perform better through practice and training. That’s not inflation in the sense that the gains are legitimate rather than making the test easier but it’s probably an example of Goodhart’s law where we’re seeing a focus on maximizing performance on the test itself rather than the broader skills it’s supposed to be a proxy for.

IANAL but my understanding of antitrust cases is that voluntary consent to a EULA is indeed a relevant factor in determining market power for antitrust claims. See the discussion in Blizzard Entertainment Inc. v. Ceiling Fan Software LLC:

> Blizzard raises this argument in its motion, contending that Defendants cannot establish antitrust claims based on its users' voluntary consent to the EULA and TOU. (Mot. Br. 22–23.) Although Blizzard does not argue this point in the market power analysis, the Court finds that this discussion is applicable to whether the market power requirement is established. Blizzard cites Newcal, Queen City Pizza, Inc. v. Domino's Pizza, Inc., 124 F.3d 430, 441 (3d Cir.1997), and Apple Inc. v. Psystar Corp., 586 F.Supp.2d 1190, 1201 (N.D.Cal.2008), to show that Defendants cannot base its claims on the aftermarket restrictions. ( See Opp'n Br. 17.) These cases explain that the law prohibits an antitrust claimant from asserting an antitrust claim “resting on market power that arises solely from contractual rights that customers knowingly and voluntarily gave to the defendant” when they purchased the initial tying product.

Most English names are, but surely so are most other names too. I am sure there are exceptions, but let's say in Muslim naming traditions there are definitely male and female names, also in Chinese there are male and female names (sort of, as girls names tend to use certain characters and boys names use certain characters. So between English names, Chinese names and Muslim names I am guessing a pretty good coverage of world population, enough to say that it is more common that names are gendered, than for them to not be. I would love to hear a counterpoint or even example of alternatives.

Oh almost forgot Iceland,not a huge population but changes the surname based on gender too, e.g Johnsson or Johnsdottir

That figure was the market cap, the price at which a token was sold multiplied by the number of tokens on the market.

If a billion tokens are available, the market cap is $0.5B if you sell a single token for $0.5. That's what happened yesterday more or less. You won't be able sell all tokens for $0.5B, so saying they are worth $0.5B is misleading for such a volatile and young project.

The metric works much better (but not perfect) for established shares, financial products or contracts for physical objects.
Indeed, it's fascinating to watch. Reputation matters for a bank and they are in the process of completely destroying it.

Hm, fair point: the App Store isn't illegal, so "black market" is pushing the term too far. However, the laws in the App Store aren't controlled by a political/state entity: they are imposed by Apple themselves. The fact that they are legal under US law, doesn't make them legitimate: democratic control (via regulation) does.

So I guess my point was this: past a certain size / power concentration a market/platform has to have regulations that are answerable to a democratic/political authority, not to a private party. That's regulation, isn't?

"Grey market" is taken, so how about "brown market"? :)
With enough issues, no one will be at the average, by the curse of dimensionality. On the other hand, making it obvious that we're all nonconformists (à la https://www.abelard.org/e-f-russell.php And Then There Were None?) might be an improvement.

> this happens in the workplace as well though

Exactly this. I'm fortunate in that where I work now it's pretty rare: the culture is fairly collegiate and friendly, and there's a strong sense of "we're all on the same side". Other places I've worked every meeting has been an exercise in point scoring, which is incredibly wearing and - try as one might - the culture does end up influencing one's own behaviour.

You can obviously get preachy about how people should be stronger characters and not so easily influenced but the phrase "Bad company corrupts good character" exists for a reason. Unless you're Gandhi it's incredibly difficult for many people to resist the culture around them day in and day out without some positive reinforcement from the behaviour of others, especially when you're incentivised to do otherwise, and may be penalised for not doing so[0].

That was exactly the same argument the soviet union had. So we have too much jews there, lets limit it. Its not discriminating, since there are already so much jews or asians in the universities (20%+). On the individual level a person get reject based on its race, that is sad.

The percentages at the link above are labeled as "University-wide Enrollments," which seems to mean that they account for graduate students as well as undergraduates. But the DOJ finding is only about undergraduate admissions.
This is a good point. There are probably lots of people on HN working in cloud environments where your dependencies are actually organizationally within your control. If one of your dependencies makes a change that breaks you, you can escalate the problem and compel them to roll back the change. This is the luxury of building the entire world. My service depends on nothing that can't be escalated to my own VP, so "roll back to the old version [of whatever changed]" is a very satisfying answer, but it's not an option when your dependencies aren't obligated to keep you running.

In my previous job we used Azure and moved from Service Fabric using Docker to App Service without containers. I should say containers developed by us. as App Service uses containers.

Overall, everything was easier though that might be because of not using SF rather than moving away from containers. An end to end deployment (Iac, App and integration tests) of ALL microservices would take between 18 - 45 minutes.

The lower figure was if it skipped IaC (limitations on ARM templates and Vnets forced serial deployment) and the upper figure was slowness on our agents. You'd have to add anywhere between 2 and 30 minutes for the build itself (30 minutes was the remnants of the monolith that was being slowly and methodically dismantled)

Could save another 8-16 minutes by not running any tests and work as ongoing to allow a more pick and choose approach as the full deployment method was starting to become too slow as the number of microservices increased (I think we had 12 when I left)

There was nothing that, say k8s, offered and we needed that wasn't available on our setup, plus it was miles cheaper than SF or AKS.

If it works for you then fine, if it doesn't the try something else

I guess the main alternatives are:

2. Reading a book

It’s not in the name. The presumption is that elite means other good students, and not the school itself.

When I buy elite golf clubs, it means the clubs are elite not other people who buy it are.

Now you can argue part of the reason to attend college is because of your classmates. And then I’d ask is the best experience a bunch of kids who are simply good at school?

For me the main reason has been the Linux support in Steam. If they later add a Linux port, you don't have to buy it again, just go install it on Linux.

Their work with the Proton compatibility is bringing a lot of my old Windows only games to Linux too. I'll probably continue buying exclusively from Steam for this reason.

Definitely interesting. Only things I'd be concerned about when thinking about painting them with a racially biased admissions brush is that UCSF's class size is not large at 171 so a swing of 20% in 1 year is only 40 students. It would not be hard for me to believe that there are 40 Latino and black students who also scored 98%ile+ on the MCAT who equally "deserve" acceptance there, the med schools ranked #15-3ish all provide pretty much the same level of opportunity so the Asians missing from UCSF might have chosen a different top school. If it's a decline for 5 years straight I would be concerned about it but idk if 2 years is enough to state a trend.

Actually, containerization helped us a lot. Our automated CI/CD does linting, testing (we only test critical stuff atm), compilation and deployment in less than 5 minutes. We also double-check changes by requiring approval to merge into develop and a second approval if develop is merged into the main branch.

If we need to deploy a hot fix, it is pushed to master directly with admin access or if there is something truly critically (which should never happen), we just block connections on our load balancers and/or clusters.

Containers are imho one of the best things out there for deployment, as you can deploy changes to a cluster of servers without needing to reconfigure them and without the codes/containers interfering each other.
I did take a look at it very early on in Early Access. I sort of did not like that it was so deterministic, like many games of the type.

If there was randomness like machines churning out defective parts, machines ageing due to wear and tear etc it would have been more interesting, would even perhaps lead to more interesting tradeoffs. Some type of risk vs reward decisions were not there, which to me is generally a fun component of games.
You know, I used PHP back in the early 2000s and sometimes I miss it after having worked with Python, Ruby and Elixir over the years but it's not necessarily related to the language itself.

I use this one program called Sendy (a PHP app) to help manage my email list. It's a typical LAMP set up.

It's been running on a $5 / month server uninterrupted for 905 days with no down time related to the app malfunctioning. The whole system uses around 300mb of memory.

Yesterday I decided to spin up a new server to finally retire the old one since it was using Debian Jessie that just went EOL 2 weeks ago. This required migrating a ~3 year old version of Sendy to the newest one (dozens of database schema changes included) and export / import my entire database.

Everything just worked and all I had to do was rsync the PHP files to a directory and access the site in a browser, and it was upgraded and ready to go.

I even ran into what I thought was a bug because my existing forms weren't working, so I looked into the single PHP file that was the form's action and within 5 minutes determined I was missing a hidden field (something Sendy added in a recent version). That was the first time I ever looked at its source code and PHP in a long time.

It very much reminded me of my PHP cowboy days. No complicated build process, no dependencies (the whole app uses PHP's standard library), no having to restart the server between deploys, etc.. I know there's downsides to that and I'm very aware of them, but after having worked with increasing complexity for the last 10 years of web dev, man it felt nice for a change.
Imagine you go to a furniture factory and visit the owner. You tell him the factory is cool but what does it do that wasn't possible before? All the machines are just cutting wood. A carpenter with a hand saw could have done the same things during the iron age.
But what if an Apple customer wants to deal with a developer directly? Apple wont allow me to do that even though I own the device.

Maybe you shouldn't share that info in the first place? Even if the provider(Instagram in this case) acts in good faith and deletes the data, 3rd parties would still own it(i.e US sec agencies, various crawlers etc)
> The refactoring bit hits hard, how do you structure your factory to minimise time/cost/space, can you increase throughput, do the outputs line up where you need them, how do you ensure a sufficient power supply, etc.?

There are different 'designs'. I'd recommend a main bus design for your starter base. Basically you take key materials, like copper plates, iron plates, steel etc. and then run (multiple) full belts of them down a long line. and build your factories to the side of it, taking your input materials from the main bus.

See here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Main_bus

Alternative designs (for much later in the game, if you want to buiold a megabase) are e.g. rail grid, sometimes called city block design. Looks like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1as3oMAgOy4/maxresdefault.jpg

You have a grid of rail tracks with standardized squares and standardized input/output locations. Then you automate input delivery/output collection to them either by pure circuit logic, or of you don't hate yourself quite that much using the Logistic Train Network mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Optera/LogisticTrainNetwork

I will leave it there, but point taken. You are right, I implied something untrue there.
There's breakage outside "brought down". A system that's running but doesn't produce outputs because the input data changed can be "broken" and violating its SLA too. And not really something you can design around outside "we won't promise anything", but then you loose to competitors that do take it on themselves to react quickly enough with hotfixes.

They are extracting rent from a market that's now too big and powerful and are enforcing rules that do not have political (as in citizens') legitimacy.

They have obviously won their market position fair-and-square and their rules aren't illegal. But extracting taxes ('rent' in economist-speak) from other companies just because they were successful at some point in the past is uncompetitive behavior now.

Same goes for Amazon/Google: extracting rent from a market-dominant position should be illegal (it isn't) regardless of how that position was won.
