Howard Hughes effectively did these things, in terms of constantly leveraging his fortune into extreme risk to push numerous businesses forward.

Hughes' companies technical accomplishments were vast. In many ways he was Musk, before Musk. His were among the first companies to work in space, and was prodigious in aviation and aerospace. I would argue Hughes exceeded what Musk has accomplished by a dramatic margin - so far.

Eg:

"The company developed radar systems, electro-optical systems, the first working laser, aircraft computer systems, missile systems, ion-propulsion engines (for space travel), and many other advanced technologies."

"Hughes Space and Communications Group and the Hughes Space Systems Division built the world's first geosynchronous communications satellite, Syncom, in 1963 and followed it closely with the first geosynchronous weather satellite, ATS-1, in 1966. Later that year their Surveyor 1 made the first soft landing on the Moon as part of the lead-up to the moon landings in Project Apollo."

I stuck to the JVM (since people seem willing to pay more if you have experience on the specific stack, and my first job happened to be Java); for the last 3-4 years I've been doing almost exclusively Scala.
I don't know why this was downvoted, but this was obviously the case. CL had no interest in these 3d party sites. It's their data and their terms of use, so there really aren't any debatable points. Nobody has a right to CL data unless they explicitly provide that right. If I were CL, I wouldn't have give Padmapper an API either; their arrogance was astounding. They had no respect for the CL terms of use. They built an entire company around a knowing violation of their data source's terms of use. The Terms said, "you can do X," Padmapper did "X" then complained when CL said no. It doesn't matter what X was, Padmapper just knowingly did it anyway. They had the intent to violate the Terms of Use.
Surprisingly, I've applied most of the mentioned algorithms on real world data while working on some side projects. Realized that even big organizations use fundamental Machine Learning algorithms to get their tasks done. This feels quite reassuring as you don't need a MS/PhD to solve such complex/interesting problems.

Even if the oversight isn't that great (do we know how much abuse happens?), it does make sense that they would try to narrowly focus their ops. It doesn't actually benefit them to spy on random users. At the end of the day, we can only assume most of the agents do actually want to get "bad guys".

"Twice" seems exaggerated; cross-platform applications come with their own set of challenges (often about device-specific issues), and you'll still need expertise on all your supported platforms. Saying developing for X native platforms is X times as hard/expensive is naive.
Depends, though - speaking from the perspective of a front-end developer/designer, it's almost universally preferable to have the non-minified versions of any image, and in this case, being able to easily work directly on the XML is a massive plus. Ideally they should be minified as part of a build step. A minified version for prototyping/rapid development would be handy though.

yeah what I fear it would happen is either all wages go down of an equivalent amount, or an inversion of wages according to job satisfaction, or a cycle on inflation with prices surging and minimum wages following

in this experiment they can test the latter, since the scale is too small to affect global pricing.

I wonder how far the 'unregulated' goes: could one pocket the monthly allowance and then live on a cheap city abroad while maintaining citizenship and privileges?

at the very least this should promote entrepreneurship: given social security that what I'd do. I can't risk anything now as I have no savings and live in a country that offer zero (monetary) supports to startups via neither private nor public capitals.
Hi thanks for posting.

I was wondering how many engineers are actively working on your search chaos monkey. In my experience it takes a lot of man hours to get something such as this up and running, especially taking into account stabilising the azure search product while bringing the automated functional testing up, stabilising the testing system, and then bringing the chaos monkey monkey up and stabilising all three (product, testing system and chaos system).

Again thanks for the write up.
Yep -- simply apply for a role.
I still find it fairly slow but I'm going to try and use it as much as possible, anyway.

I like the core principle it's built on (completely hackable as everything is built on a scripting layer) which makes it more potentially powerful than Sublime, even if its slower now.

That somebody would not "really need that job" because they would be guaranteed a basic income no matter what in a real world scenario.
There isn't evidence that the NSA has access to Google servers, apart from the unencrypted fiber issue (which Google has since fixed, they say). However most users probably have shitty routers that can be remotely pwnd by anyone so yeah...

It's also more efficient to just tap the connections of the users' ISPs, rather than tap each home. And since they're tapping backbones, a VPN will only help some. It'll limit the ability for them to easily search you via IP - they'll need to try to distinguish your traffic from the other users on the proxy/VPN. I didn't see anything about correlating timing information, and it'd seem like that'd be a much more difficult thing to analyze versus indexing HTTP requests.

But if you read the slides, the instructions to operates are VERY clear to never use this data (passwords and such), but only pass it on to TAO. I'd guess they'd want to be really certain before doing something active/noticeable which might involve spending some sort of identity.
I am kind of in this situation so I'll chime in: I quit my full time job nearly two years ago and since then have been freelancing and contracting remotely. I'm now taking a 'sabbatical' for a couple of months over the summer to recharge and hopefully start my own business.

I've had a lot of people asking me when I'm getting a job again, as I assume they aren't in a financial position to be able to do this so wonder how on earth I could afford it. Although I have been lucky to have some jobs that reimburse me well, I also don't have a car, house, wife (that's happening next month!) or go out drinking. The amount I have in savings is equivalent to what friends who own houses have in equity - which is about enough for me to live off for two years, so I'm definitely not retiring yet.

The plan for the business is to build something (I'm not 100% sure what yet, but I've been following the bootstrapped community for a good few years) that will bring me in a couple of thousand dollars a month with a lot less stress than a full time job, so it's pretty equivalent to a basic income. I will probably end up moving to somewhere where the cost of living is cheaper (bonus: the cheaper parts of Europe also have much better weather than the UK), and then 'work' on whatever interests me - to start with I'll probably take a break from tech and do something more creative and hands on.
Which version of X library can be introspected via which binary is linked, rather than which package is installed - inspecting the actuality rather that an meta-data wrapper in the form of a package may be preferable.

As for static vs dynamic binaries, is dynamic less memory intensive even in containers - that is, do library version get shared across containers in RAM or are they separate? If not separate, static may be much easier to manage in general, though there maybe cases where they can't be provided. Upgrading the app involves a recompile, but that's a container building exercise. Versioning can then become tied explicitly to the container version, or by inspecting the static binary.
Not really -- we don't have mobile apps.
I keep seeing the same ad for a job that I was contacted about a few months back. I refused to do their hour and a half hacker rank challenge on the basis that is nothing like how I work on a day to day basis, and I have examples of real work online if they need to see that I can code.

> nothing in meteor

That's actually very informative. ?I guess www.meteor.com is one of those sites that doesn't handle it properly? I? have no idea.

> Hundreds of thousands of my users don't seen to mind.

Really? Have you asked them?

Hundred of thousands of your users probably have no idea whatsoever what their browser is doing, and it is disingenuous to say that they "don't mind" - especially when javascript is used for things like tracking reading times and other things probably call "analytics" and a lot of us call "spying".

> I worry about the security of my actual users.

Apparently not - you just make sure your users can only be people who know nothing about modern network security.

Remember, I'm not saying javascript applications are bad or that you shouldn't write them[1]. I'm saying you shouldn't leave your precious "user experience" in the case where javascript is not available as a totally-useless, non-informative blank page. Which many sites have started to do, www.meteor.com included. Thqt''S IT. All this arguing about javascript is missing the point.

[1] At most, I only suggested that a lot of the time what is being made is not an application", but a fairly simple document. The only reason javascript could be needed (isntead of progressively enhanced) on something like a simple search page is if you are trying to run spyware (such as google-analytics) in the background, behind the user's back.

A Go, Docker workflow
That's a fair point, but the alternative of always compiling the packages at the point in time negates that, at the risk of regressions and other 'new version' bugs, but that may be endemic in this anyway - if the author of the golang container built it at a point in time against version X, then went away and left the container alone, upgrading versions may become risky in any case.

Those kind of risks, and perhaps the larger container risks look like CI pipeline issues - how is the container tested a given new versions? As an adjunct, how do we so container component integration testing? Is that part of this packaging & building system?
> All else equal, hiring a poor worker is probably perferable to hiring a wealthy one, as the poor worker has more incentives to work really hard.

Or conversely, they might just have more incentive to do what it takes to get paid rather than doing a good job. I think work ethics is a better incentive.

Actually, money worries are some of the worst things your employees can have. An employee without them is happier and more productive. So I would definitely hire the one with the minimum income.

Techdirt is in a category of sites whose submissions are penalized by default on HN. This category is for sources that produce a lot of fluff but also the occasionally substantive piece. There are various ways for the penalty to be lifted, one of which is moderator review, which is how it got lifted here.

Your description might be fair in general, but this article is more substantive than the typical riler-upper. If you know of something that it misrepresents, by all means correct the record. But it doesn't misrepresent the info you quoted—on the contrary, it communicates it clearly and includes the exact same quote.
Yeah, but their point is its not really a real world scenario.

Since the other person, who's not taking part in the study, wont receive a basic income, the person in the study might feel morally required to give up their job potential job to the person who really needs it, which means the results of the study will be inconclusive.

Nooo:( Was just starting to do that!
No, what vog means I think is that if A receives basic income competes with someone B who doesn't receive basic income (because only 250 people gets it in that test), then the moral thing to do from A's point of view is to voluntarily lose to B since B needs it more than he does.

So having a small sample set in a big city invalidates part of the experience since the situation is very different from what would really happen if everyone had a guaranteed minimal income.

There are other reasons to "really need a job" though. Self-realization, fulfillment, social coherence come to mind. Or are those factors of happiness reserved only for the 1%?
How do other Azure teams inside Microsoft do their testing (SQL Azure, Azure DocDB etc?) I'd assume there's a common platform that allows you to just throw stuff and inject failures? Further, in production, what percent of bugs if any did you find were not caught by Chaos engineering? Where they of a particular class? Did you still see a necessity for functional tests that test all permutations diligently?
The I'll-take-any-job crowd might not be very motivated in their work anyway. At worst this will force us to pay better salaries for ALL jobs that have fewer applicants, instead of only the ones that require a higher education or lots of experience. Seems fair to me.
At least in the UK version, they do have some kind of cross-region search now in the sidebar. (Which is pretty much essential here, because their region boundaries don't make much sense and people don't always agree on what region they're in.)

Codeception 2.1 Is Here
If you are 20-something living on minimal income that barely covers food and a roof, would you take a job working as a gas station clerk in order to afford to go out and eat and socialize, buy a drink in a bar, or participate in the culture of everyone else around you?

If you asked a anthropologist, I suspect you would hear a pattern of human beings doing all kind of work in order to increase their status in society and finding a mate. Working in a low status work is not perfect but it is better than nothing and money is quite useful when it can be used on things beyond a 1-room apartment and basic food.

This is a tough one. What everyone assumes is that a only blatantly sexist person will dismiss your resume because of a female name. Obviously, such people will flunk you in the interview.

The problem is it completely ignores people who honestly don't believe they are sexist (and may even consider themselves feminist), but suffer from an unconscious bias. These people might be fine to work for and not be biased (or blatantly so) in the rest of the hiring process.

I never thought of orchestras as havens of gender bias, but they totally were:

And I'm sure the judges certainly didn't consider themselves as sexist.

It's totally up to you, but an easy solution is to use initials, such as AJ instead of Allison Jane. For some reason, we almost always assume initials belong to a man.

As for the recruiter, hopefully they know some stats about diversity, including if they are trying to improve it. But in general, a recruiter does not want to submit someone who won't pass the interview.

Config management, as it currently stands with Puppet/Chef etc./ ideally has no place _in_ containers iff the issue of how applications are deployed there can be solved in a suitably generic and straight forward way. A container becomes and immutable item - logs get shipped off container, config comes from service discovery, failing containers get taken out of service.

There is a need for shims like confd, though perhaps we'll see configuration information libraries emerge that can go straight to a service discovery/config lookup endpoint such as etcd or zookeeper.

All of the config management tools have some sort of overhead and all affect the ability for a container (bar its data in the case of databases) to be immutable.

Building the container should be as simple as installing the package for the given app into whatever container systems is being used, be it Docker, a more bare bones container, or something that comes from the standarisation effort.

The base 'OS' in the container then becomes irrelevant, as the base OS is really the containing, host OS, with the containers just containing the apps and not additional overhead.

In terms of where configuration management fits, it potentially is at the orchestration level, but that said there are already other, more specialised tools emerging in that space too.
Very likely. Think of how uncommon household servants are today compared to before the industrial revolution. Now only the super-rich have them, as a rule. The rest of us get by with automation (washing machines, vacuum cleaners), with the occasional hiring of a temporary "servant" when neccessary (e.g., calling a cab compared to having a dedicated chauffeur, or having a landscaper or cleaning service come in once in a while).
I am afraid a couple of months doesn't really count as a sabbatical. In any case wish you all the best with your experiment.
One of the first pieces of advice I had when my company landed its investment was to pay ourselves a decent (not extravagant) wage so that my time went on worrying about the company rather than how I was going to afford to do things in my personal life. The same is true for employees - if they're paid a good living they will spend more time on thinking about problems in their job instead.

If a government were to do that for everyone it seems pretty obvious that society will be better off - people will spend their time working on things to improve everyone's life rather than worrying about how to afford their rent.
For a while they even changed their terms of service to give themselves an exclusive license to anything you posted on the site in order to help them sue websites that let you search it without their permission - so in theory they could've sued their own users for posting the same ads on Craigslist and elsewhere. That's fucking insane.

I like that, a snapshot of all versions of all dependencies and apps within the container. So the final build step I could use Blueprint to capture that info, then ship the metadata and ship the container. Perhaps this could be achieved using the ONBUILD step.
That sounds like the case in favour of basic income
Which means the shitty jobs will have to pay more in order to attract people to do them. People should be paid well for taking on a job no one else wants. That's how the free market is supposed to work.
New York has had Republican/Independent mayors for 20 of the last 21 years. And you ignore that heavily taxes cities controlled by democrats are some of the most impoverished, crime ridden and unsuccessful in the US. Namely, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, New Orleans.
>people will spend their time working on things to improve everyone's life

Some people will. I have met many plenty of people though that don't care about other people regardless of their income.
> I wonder if those jobs would increase in value as less people do them?

Sure. Although technically it's not that the value of the job changes (to the employer, the value of the job is basically the same), it's that wages go up due to the decrease in the labour supply.
Bit of a stupid fucking article in my opinion.

I can accept that excessive use of entertainment devices is probably not great for young kids. Excessive use is the key though, and there's not nearly enough research to quantify that to the degree required for legislation.

I'm very skeptical of blatantly unenforceable nanny-statism like this. Doubly so where it involves parenting decisions that aren't conclusively detrimental. But cheerleading for it is even worse!
It is damn near impossible for the homeless to find work.

I've got to agree with this. I've got three children aged 2, 8 and 11 and there's nothing worse than a cult following of stampy longnose to shake off.

The big problem I find is that the education system, at least here in the UK, is very focussed on pushing technology on children who are very young as a solution for everything. Everything else suffers for this.
