Besides being imprecise you also contradicted yourself.

(1) > my advice to young people with drive is ... solve real problems.

You say burnout is intrinsic to startups but ignore that hard work is needed for other things that aren't startups. What makes you think solving real problems doesn't require dedication?

(2) > the goal of a startup is to make money

No. It's a goal, but not the only goal. Another goal is to make the world a better place.

(3) Can you be precise about what "hurts you to see" those lectures? Is it because what they say is true and the truth is uncomfortable? Or do the lectures say something that's false? Can you point to a specific sentence that's false?

If you can't boil something down to a single sentence then you don't know what you are saying and judging from the length of your comment you don't.
I work on a sorta-kinda Heroku competitor (Cloud Foundry), so my views are suspect and of course are mine alone etc etc.

However, asking "which should I use for my app, Docker or #{PaaS}?" is a bit like asking "which should I use to build my house, a brick or a general contractor?"

They are different things, at different levels of abstraction.

People have already written Docker deployment systems for Cloud Foundry[0]. Plus you get all the other stuff you'd have to write yourself.

Where is rent $350/month?

I live in the heart of the "cheap, low cost" Midwest and there is nothing within 200 miles of me that rents below $650/month -- and even at $650, your talking about old, poorly maintained, single bedroom or studio flats.

Yes, there are lots of cheap 50k-100k houses. But what everyone forgets is the upkeep on those houses is enormous. You might have a $800/month mortgage payment on a 3 bedroom house, but also have to pay another $500-$1,000/month upkeep on that house.

My "cheap" Midwest home in Michigan (2br, 1350sqft) costs $1700/month in mortgage+upkeep. An luxury apartment in a downtown Seattle (2br, 850sqft) can be had for $1800/month. 40% higher wages on the coast, and only an extra $100/month in housing costs. (Zillow: http://bit.ly/1sx9LH2)

You won't save a lot of money on rent/living expense in the Midwest, you'll just get a lot more empty house space "for free". That's great if you need lots of empty space (for kids and such). But otherwise, the cost of living difference is not nearly as large as people pretend it is.

Yes, the literal dirt a building sits on is cheaper away from the coasts (land value). But that's literally the only difference in cost -- nearly everything else is more-or-less the same price (including home and building expenses, professional services, food, clothing, electronics, etc).

Some are even more expensive in the Midwest (home repairs and maintenance, nearly all utilities, etc)
This is ridiculously stupid, and blatant advertising to boot.

I cannot believe how bad this is.
I played Ingress in way early beta when most the portals were just fire stations, post offices, and landmarks. I found myself driving through local towns until 3 AM to claim "just one more."

I quit after maxing out a level 8 because it was just so repetitious.

They've since added badges and upped it to level 16 but I can't find the motivation. =(
> How about your Linux-based router?

In the embedded world, people rarely run full GNU userland utils. They're extremely big and bloated, and embedded devicse needs maximum bang for buck. Therefore most of them comes with busybox, which besides being incredibly compact also is 100% unaffected.

Same goes for Android/Linux-based phones. Most don't come with a proper shell at all, and those who do, usually have busybox.
That's a great point that needs to be made. Science reporting sucks.

I'm asking about this because my views are very confused. I don't have a good normative principle to appeal to.

On the one hand, I lean towards "you shouldn't make racially biased decisions". On the other hand, while I'm intuitively disliking the criteria for these scholarships, I impose more or less the exact same criteria when deciding if a woman is worth dating.

Unlike most of the people here, I'm completely willing to admit that my views are rather confused. And I don't understand the resulting hostility - why does asking questions make me a villain?
> And we'd love to have build in support (or at least a common standard or best practices) for orchestration.

Look into BOSH[0][1]. It's a IaaS orchestrator that works for multiple cloud backends -- AWS, openstack, warden and vsphere out of the box. I use it in my day job.

It's already been applied to working with Docker containers.[2]

An anecdotal story to back up the authors point;

I live on a boat, and have done so for 8 years. I know quite a bit about what it takes, what the difficulties are, what to look for when buying a boat, what to do about heating in the winter, etc. etc.

I've thought about writing an e-book about it to give others an insight into what the life is like, how to do it, what it costs, all sorts of practicalities, etc. But I don't think I'll do it after having researched what I can expect to make on it.

It's simply not worth my time because it seems like people on the Internet generally aren't that willing to pay for good content.

There are many ways to argue this way or that way.

I could argue, that there is a bug for over 20 years in open source and nobody discovered it? WTF?
So Windows is better, because it does not has this bug in the first place?

There is no right or wrong. Open Source is not better and not worse. Everything has its place and its purpose.

Regarding those embedded device I can say, they don't use BASH. Because of size constraints they all use Busybox, which does not have this problem, like all those other Shells.

I don't have relationships with movie actors when I watch a film either.

I do. One of them is actually my mother!

Not every film is an Hollywood blockbuster with millions of fans that prevent any kind of two-sided interaction; some of them are small indie productions where you can actually meet and talk to the cast members.

Likewise, not every podcast is This American Life - many of them just have a few dozen listeners and there's plenty of opportunity for interaction and even friendships.

> I'm waiting for a convincing Docker PaaS vendor to come along.

Have you looked at Stackato? That looks to be very similar to Heroku, but uses Docker containers.
One thing to recall is that much of the complexity in systemd comes from replacing a whole bunch of dodgy, special purpose code written in shell scripts (init scripts) and in the daemons it manages (daemonization code, various kinds of racy startup dependencies, etc).

Just saying "systemd is complex" is fairly sloppy thinking; the question is, is it more or less complex than re-implementing that functionality poorly and incompatibly several dozen other times in various other daemons and startup scripts?
Dating website founder: Love doesn't exist
Huh? vi does not have any plugins; only vim. vi is even more bare-bones than vim, lacking a lot of features (macro recording and text objects being the ones I miss). It is extremely common to find vi pre-installed on countless servers, however, making it extremely convenient if you're an expert with it.

What's amusing to me is how many people don't know vi very well and use plugins in vim that vi can handle as well or better through macros, ex scripts or external commands.

You misunderstand me. I was simply articulating what I assumed the poster meant by his comment:

Personally, I don't have Google Apps on my phone at all.
If it's not in F-Droid or available as an apk from the
developer, it doesn't get installed.

I personally have a stock Nexus 4 and accept that I'm simply a Google commodity. I accept that by having a Google Account on my phone means that Google are tracking everything I do, who I talk to, who I message, every website I visit and every opinion and iota of information about me, even some that they have extrapolated about me that I personally didn't realise, Google already knows. I accept that if Google knows this, the NSA can also get hold of this information relatively easily.

However, I don't work for any company of NSA interest. I have no threatening political or religious affiliations. I don't pose a threat to the status quo. I am not a wolf. I am a sheep. Therefore, my privacy can be traded for free Google features - slurp...

@niklasni1 though probably does care, which is why he doesn't use Google Play, because then he would need a Google account on his phone, that subsequently would be tracked by Google wherever he goes. Maybe @niklasni1 has a networking job for a European satellite provider that the NSA finds interesting. Maybe he is worried about being tasked. In which case, it isn't bombastic at all.
Bad link as well.. flagged it.
I started Ingress thinking it would be fun, good exercise, and force me to explore my city more. Instead, I stared into my phone until I arrived at a Zipcar parking spot which, through whatever agreement existed between Google and Zipcar, was a point of interest in the game.

I quit, and I've never been tempted to play again. Just going for a walk without my phone is much nicer.

I always have a hard time figuring out why people would switch from one tool to another just to start configuring the other to behave like the original tool. Can someone name some reasons to switch from vim to a vim-like configured Emacs?

The reason I've seen mentioned by the author is to learn the other tool, in this case Emacs. But for that I think the smarter way would be to learn to use Emacs like Emacs users do it. There's a reason why things are implemented differently, right?
Also there's the problem of context. When someone asks you a question you generally know what kind of answer they expect.

In this classic example from Richard Feynman [1] the answer to "Why is Aunt Minnie in the hospital" can be "She broke her hip", "She slipped on the ice and broke her hip", "An ambulance took her there", "Because her husband is concerned for her well being".

What's interesting about the Watson approach is that, by taking intelligently composed web pages as input (as opposed to randomly generated texts, or an arbitrary list of atomic facts) the context is already "baked in". Put another way, people make web pages with sentences like "Aunt Minnie is in the hospital because she fell and broke her hip", and don't make web pages with sentences like "Aunt Minnie is in the hospital because the ambulance was headed there and the friction between Aunt Minnie and the bed in the ambulance was high enough to keep them from becoming relatively displaced".

(Edit: I notice, of course, that I have now created a web page with that exact sentence.)
My problem with every single one of the orchestration solutions I've seen is that they tend to be overcomplicated for small deployments, and make a lot of decisions that I often don't agree with.

Looking at BOSH, my immediate reaction is that they have a huge page just explaining terminology [1]. The fact that they need one (and they do, judging from what's on it) is already a red flag for me.

We run "only" about 150 containers at the moment, so maybe I'd appreciate it more if we had thousands, but to me it seems horribly overcomplicated. And I have an immediate dislike to anything that requires constantly running processes in every VM. That may be necessary for full VM's, but it's one of the reasons I don't think VM focused orchestration solutions are a good fit for container based systems. Our existing (homegrown, on top of OpenVz) system makes heavy use of the fact that every resource in the containers are accessible from the host, and that's one of the thing I like abut Docker too.

I'll have a play with this, this weekend. Thank you.
You slightly changed the problem here though.

Your point now is that employees should be rewarded more. That's a fair point [1]. But it's still separate to being dedicated to what you do.

There are several occupations people enter knowing there is little monetary reward. Schoolteachers don't make much but they are dedicated to building children's lives and can't imagine themselves doing anything else. So are artists and generally anyone who has found their calling.

If I had a only a year to live I probably would still be working on the things I'm working on now.

[1] - It's a fair hypothesis that the most valuable company would be the one where everyone involved is rewarded in proportion to the value they generate. You can't build some kinds of companies if you keep 100% of the equity as a founder btw. Look at Alibaba's $210b IPO and Alibaba's founder who has only 8.4%.

Thank you. You have explained better than I ever could how their "dumping" of money on unworthy poseurs is not only non-productive but actively harms the whole process of innovation as it crowds out people like you who actually know what they're doing. I guess the upside is that a larger number of leaner companies might spend a lower percentage of their budgets on marketing, so the effect on people like you might be reduced.

Best of luck to you.
This is a fascinating read - and an adventure down the rabbit-hole.

I think they missed an opportunity to make the IDs map 1-1 with human-readable titles though. They use the argument that they have many versions of "pride and prejudice" and don't know which they may have in the future, but that sounds to me like a cop-out. There must be something differentiating those different shows to viewers (else, why make them?) so refer to that, surely? That doesn't mean /prideandprejudice2, but whatever differentiates that series from the first one.

I'm not particularly addressing this from a search perspective (they address that in the post) but more from a UX / readability / shareability perspective.

There's a few other pieces of weirdness to my mind e.g.
"And hacking back to /episodes would have returned what? A list of all episodes ever?"

Yes. That's similar to what /programmes is isn't it? Obviously you can segment / add hierarchy.

Bring your claims to the academic authors -- I quoted 8-61 million from the wikipedia page, which quoted the researchers.

The researchers seem to differ in, amongst other points, how much of the hunger was planned.

Quotes from the wikipedia page I referenced, with different researchers:

"Some historians attempt to make separate estimates for different periods of the Soviet history, with casualties for the Stalinist period varying from 8 to 61 million."

"Several scholars [...] put the death toll at about 20 million."

"no fewer than 15 million deaths"

"Wheatcroft excludes all famine deaths as "purposive deaths," and claims those that do qualify fit more closely the category of "execution" rather than "murder."[4] However, some of the actions of Stalin's regime, not only those during the Holodomor but also Dekulakization and targeted campaigns against particular ethnic groups, can be considered as genocide"

(About the last quote -- I don't get the difference of execution and murder, when it comes to farmers whose only crime were to have been born.)
That's incorrect- and your use of it is exactly my point. The Big Bang Theory did not have an inflationary component. The Inflationary Theory (a new set of physical behaviors) came about to explain the smoothness that the Big Bang Theory could not explain.

As is typical when this happens, parts of the original theory remained. For example, the "big bang" event- the idea that everything started from an initial 'explosion' of space-time- remained. And the term is still used.

My understand is that this is also true with Darwin's Theory of Evolution- I am not a biologist however so I may be off-base here. The concept of evolution- specifically survival of the fittest and speciation- remain in the current theories. And people still speak of 'evolution.' But the accepted/currently debated theories differ in some fundamental aspects, notably the gradualness of the process.

So my point was that we will be speaking of 'black holes' for a long time even if the current 'Black Holes' as we think of them today are shown to not actually exist.

Interesting, Joe Rogan's podcast is the only one I happen to listen to that has adverts, and they seem like they always have a Squarespace sponsorship. In this case it's 5 mins of rogan talking about his sponsors and then 3 hours of content, so the ratio of advert to interviews is still not too bad.

I also feel like Rogan won't put up with bad sponsors or vouch for dodgy products because I'm familiar with his personality and some trust has been built up over the time I spent listening to his interviews. Perhaps that's the key.

But if you happen to interrupt the podcast with some techno-music advert and have someone talk about a sponsor or some completely unrelated product, that's not cool at all.

I'm not convinced that context is as hard as people think. I think the answer "she broke her hip" is the appropriate answer there.

The other answers are appropriate for other questions ("How did Aunt Minnie get to hospital" etc).

You ask the same questions every single time. You make exactly the same confused bigoted points each time this subject comes up.

You don't create as much discussion going the other way - there are no posts from you askng why society accepts most corporate boards having no women or asking why society accepts discrimination against people with Arab sounding names. All your questions are about why it's okay to discriminate against white males in these kinds of programmes.

Can you see how that skews perception of you?
