Oh God what a perfect conspiracy! But it's not at all as simple as that. The most important thing to remember is that "too big to fail" is morally very bad, but it doesn't mean it's not true. If Greece had been allowed do default when the crisis hit hardest, very likely speculators would have attacked also Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, and possibly the whole EU would have gone to pieces, with MUCH worse consequences for all EU citizens - and the whole World, actually.
>Will knowledge and creative workers also be more productive at home?

>The more robotic the work, the greater the benefits, we think.

Certainly don't agree with this. I work from home, and find the lack of distractions most beneficial for creative work. Certainly there are challenges for collaborative work, but those can be overcome, or at least mitigated.
Obviously there is a lot of specificity depending on your goal but what I'm looking for here is an early stage test. Is it worth developing this idea further or not? And more than that provide a prompt list to flesh out the idea.

This is largely aimed at tech businesses but to paraphrase I'd like to make it as general as possible but not more.

Betteridge's law almost certainly applies here, but it sounds like more of a case of enabling easier treatment of already contaminated water, not necessarily something that's going to end up in bolt-on water filters in your house.

I often wonder what kind of jobs a lot of the posters do. I don't know much about the language but it's quite fun to poke around and see how small the community is.
I rather like the idea that someone from Tor is going to be working at an ISP. If everyone who worked at ISPs shared ideals with the Tor project, perhaps the Internet would be a better place.

Drones have to worry about airspace rules, which satellites do not.

One advantage they're keen to promote is that a 15-year lifespan sat has, by the end of its life, a 15-year-old camera. Technology marches on, and small cheap (nearly disposable!) satellites can just roll improvements into their replacement cycle in a way that the big boys can't.
It's obviously possible to generate a figure; less obvious that the figure is actually meaningful, once people understand that subtle accounting differences like whether to include the salaries of the staff of the Manila office and whether to include total comp for the sales team with very aggressive bonus structures actually has more effect on the headline ratio than an above-market increase in CEO pay.

And perversely, laying off workers to outsource their jobs to an offshore BPO firm almost certainly gives the appearance the company is improving the staff pay...
That's what I was thinking. A good framework can do something comparable if your application fits its standard model.

The majority of the value in the Etsy platform comes from their vendors and community. If they didn't have vendors then the site wouldn't be so successful. Etsy are ensuring that their vendors are invested in the site with them and less likely to jump ship to a competing platform.
Obviously this is anecdotal, but I'm not ashamed to say that I was a bit ticked last semester when I came across a girl in one of my classes that had only taken one CS course, the intro class, and the past summer had interned at Microsoft. After her freshman year.

As I sat next to her, watching her draw on her free Surface Pro and text on her free Lumia, I was thinking about the projects I was working on, the weekends upon weekends I had spent in highschool tinkering around in a shell, and yeah, it pissed me off. I'm not by any means claiming that women can't code, that's ridiculous. I've coded with with women that are incredible thinkers. I just think this is a problem, is all. Meritocracy over everything.

Concurrency issues don't magically go away by switching to another language, but they have a much better chance of getting cleanly addressed by switching to a language which has explicit/native features as part of its design to help address concurrency issues, via goroutines/channels in this case.

> Why Go in particular?

Its the new shiny thing.
Go appears to have a similar kind of momentum behind it as Node had/has. It's a small and "familiar" language, so devs pick it up easily, and has a healthy open-source package ecosystem.

It could also just be random chance. People and communities latch onto things for all sorts of reasons.
Apples and oranges. All I want is anonymity, I am fine with the exit seeing things as it does not know who I am.
The switch from Node to Go seems quite popular right now and it honestly makes me thing there's something wrong with the general perception of Node.

We are currently in a world where we have a huge amount of traffic on almost every web app with just a discrete success, but we still make the mistake to pick a technology that seems "good enough", instead to pick a "great one" because looks slightly harder to manage/learn/deploy. I know that during the early stage, pace is very important and RAILS or Node are easier and faster to handle compare to Scala or Erlang, but sometimes another technology at the beginning would save a lot of headaches and night calls. We still fail at the very early stage to choice the right technology, but nobody is afraid to admit it and to switch, I find this amazing.

> Plenty of times, there will be an uncaught exception which–through no fault of your own–bubbles up and kills the whole process.

Really? I'm just a beginner with node.js, and I've been deeply frustrated by error handling, but if this is true, that's pretty damning. In just about every other web framework under the sun, you can go wild with exceptions and the worst you'll get is a 500 response for that request. (Yes, worse behavior is possible but very uncommon.)
Some good stuff there, but I thought "don't do any heavy processing in consumer-facing node.js instance" was part of Node's 101.

These recommendations are spot on.

Let's assume John goes to a Ferrari shop and can't afford the latest California T model because it's to expensive. John borrows the money from Tom and gets the car, promising Tom to pay back. John then doesn't deliver on his promise, and starts to whine ... please EU I'm so poor, please bail me out. The EU then pays John's debt.

Then "twobits" would say "Which John never sees, and the money go immediately to bailing Tom who created the problem in the first place."

It is good at concurrency which makes it attractive to those coming from node.
It depends on what you count as JVM land, I'd say.

If you live in JVM land and value modern development you are probably already on Groovy, Gradle and Grails - where Grails imo. is ahead of the MVC4/5/6 stack...

I am not so sure. I recently tried a high quality Belgian whiskey. It was smooth like a good single malt, but just didn't taste right.

"Internal" begs the question of key management, which is the whole issue to begin with. At any rate, my claim stands that a self-signed certificate is by nature more secure than a CA-signed one, because it does not require the additional level of trust in the CA.
Well, it's a good drama which happens to have a technological background. And it so happens, too, that this technological background is realistic, precise, and even historically accurate.

It's a good advance to make tech dramas approachable to the general public. If the series, as a work of art, is bad, in the end very few people will watch it regardless of its technological accuracy.

That being said, my inner geek agrees with you: too much drama. But again, maybe I'm not exactly the target audience.
No, no one should be surprised that a nightly build had problems.

Yes, users should know what they are getting into.

No, the developer has no obligation to be held to a higher standard of reliability.

Yes, the developer can really do whatever they want.

With all that said, can we at least agree that this shows extremely poor judgment from an engineering and product sense? Not only is this a terrible way to achieve user trust, but it also doesn't make any users feel good. As a user, why would I want to use a product that wants to make a fool out of me and throw wrenches in a core feature for chuckles?
I don't see anything wrong here either, I kinda like the fact that as engineers/developers/coders we still have the opportunity to admit that an early stage decision doesn't fit our needs anymore and we can then change.
You can make a bunch of money with something like Rails - if you're charging people directly, rather than low margin activities like advertising. See: Bingo Card Creator, Basecamp, and a bunch of other stuff. I'm a big Erlang fan, but objectively, Rails has a lot more to 1) get you up and running quickly and 2) iterate until you find some kind of product market fit.

I imagine he'll be getting calls from management theorists wanting to do some long term studies to see what happens to happiness, motivation etc.

Traditional management theory has that money is a poor motivator because the effects wear off quickly and people soon come to believe they are "worth" their pay increase. Other perks / benefits are often valued disproportionately more than money.

Now a massive pay rise that takes people out of a problematic income zone may completely upend that, or over time it might have unintended negative consequences. Off the top of my head I wonder what consequences might be for the workers who were on higher salaries now perhaps feeling relatively under compensated.
That remains a silly claim no matter how many times it's repeated. All that is required for secure transport is a two key pairs. I need not have any idea who the other party is, but I can be certain that I have received exactly what that party transmitted and that no other party could read it in transit (remember, even the sender can't recover the original plaintext in this case if he's lost it).

It's pretty basic cryptographic theory and I'm not sure how such a fundamental misunderstanding became so widespread. A secure channel need not tell me anything about the probity of the other participant. (In basic terms, even if I'm being phished, there's an advantage in keeping some other criminal syndicate from also reading my information.)

"But you don't know with whom you are actually communicating to begin with!" you may say. Agreed, and not cared about. I'm communicating with someone. Step 1 is to make sure that whoever that person is, she and I share a secure communication channel that no other person can alter or intercept. At that point she and I can negotiate authenticity. Solve the simple problem first, and the harder problem becomes easier.
Segment.io seems like the type of challenge that would be right in Erlang's sweet spot. The talk that Whatsapp gave on scaling Erlang is a good proof point that it's built to handle these systems quite well.
It's interesting to see just how many people are willing to argue against a business paying their employees more, when those commentators have no involvement in the issue at all.

Occasional visits to Bugis - I'll try and visit them every day for a week or so, and see if they are every being actively cleaned.

Same happens with Java, C++, and many other languages.

There are web server packages on node that do catch errors that happen in synchronous code. For async, you can use promises, which take errors into consideration.

I'm not sure what happens on unhandled async errors on other languages, I guess in Java you could have a dangling request (happened to me before) or it could crash the app (also happened to me before). C++? I haven't really done much webserver work on that one so someone else may be able to write more about it.

Also obviously PHP, you just get a white page or actual full error stacks sent to the client, the joy! (edit: of course, if you don't handle it properly)

"[happiness] rises with income, but only to a point. And that point turns out to be about $75,000 a year."

It seems that there is no such limit. See the second plot from http://danluu.com/dunning-kruger/, or the original paper:

Just the scaling is logarithmic. However, the main conclusion remains the same - to maximize happiness, some redistribution is good.

Singapore Cleanliness is a huge mental relief after having to deal with the disgusting mess that various parts of San Francisco are. Keeping this city/state clean is incredibly productive.

Boxillion: The new way to receive deliveries – The Internet connected parcel box
You can get a PTR from an IP address, but that's not the same as "the hostname the client requested". If virtuous_activities.com and shameful_fetishes.com both resolve to the same IP address (assuming some application protocol like HTTP that can distinguish by hostname) I could certainly imagine a situation where a client would want to keep the particular hostname requested secret.

(Obviously the attacker in this case would probably also be able to sniff the requests from the resolver, but still; I'm not making this complaint up or anything, a lot of people have mentioned it before.)
C++ - couldn't you just put a catch(...) within your request handler and return 500 if that is hit?
