I've often wondered about precisely the author's issue – why do wealthfront, betterment, et. al. charge a percentage of assets under management? Is it just that no competitor has offered a flat rate yet, or is there intrinsically more work involved in trading larger sums?

To this one point:

> All these cases neglect to mention that you will probably only see the maximal gain if you are maximally messing up already, by needlessly churning your account to generate capital gains. As Vanguard’s founder advises: Don’t just do something; stand there.

The author is listed as "Former Director of Product @ Facebook". If he received a portion of his compensation in Facebook stock, he needed to sell out of that position regularly to avoid being over invested. That should have had generated more in capital gains than tax loss harvesting could offset.
Nobody mentioned it, but having a static website vs. a dynamic one, leaves your contents exposed to scraping, proxy hijacking and framing. While the latter can be mitigated by a one-line script, IMHO you basically can't defeat scrapers and proxies client-side-only - modern scrapers are able to run any javascript if needed. So expect a plethora of bad/spam links, unauthorized copies of your pages - etc. Especially if your contents attracts a lot of traffic and/or you have many competitors.

I recommend you watch periodically for your contents to pop up on random domains (you can google for your exact texts) and file your DMCA requests as soon as they appear.

It might help to use <base> tags, absolute URL links and the likes in all of your web pages, as well as mention your domain both in textual contents and images (logo?) - that actively discourages "lazy duplicates" of your pages (but not copy/pasting your articles on a different site by hand).

Just my two cents.

The OpenGL API no longer matches how the hardware works. As a result drivers are huge, unreliable, unpredictable, and slow. Mantle, DirectX 12, and Metal all cut away layers of abstraction and let applications drive the hardware more directly, without drivers getting in the way as much. OpenGL is getting left behind and Vulkan is the response to that.

> and suffers from almost none of the ailments.

I'd say that's subjective, and that it suffers from enough ailments: no stack context for post-mortem debugging and profiling. I know Haskell has this "cost center" thing, but I don't know enough about them to tell whether they are truly sufficient. Anything that harms posthoc reasoning about a program with a debugger/profiler/log can be plenty painful.

Yes, it's like the Niels Bohr quote, "An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field." You have to determine if you need someone who is an expert now, or can become an expert. If you have a bunch of experts already, you can relax the requirement for new people because of knowledge transfer. (Assuming you're good about that.)

But we must acknowledge the amount of time that people spend in jobs now. If it takes a year to gain mastery and people leave after 2, like you said, there's just not enough time for people to learn from scratch.

Semaphore, I'm suggesting:

Block on N-Semaphore, with timeout
Do timeout upload
Replace N-Semaphore

If you don't always replace the semaphore, that's a bug.

Queue: I'm just comparing to what the article does. It already has contention on a queue (the chan), it's just the chan-chan-Worker rather than chan-Job. In practice, go channels happily handle millions of messages contending to multiple workers just fine. Consider this test example where you aren't even actually burning any CPU to perform the work:

package main

func main() {
q := make(chan int)
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
go func() {
for x := range q {
x = x * 10
}
}()
}

for i := 0; i < 1000000; i++ {
q <- i
}
}

On my laptop, it runs in 0.333s single core, and it's slightly slower when you set GOMAXPROCS > 1. But not much slower, the total runtime goes to 0.4-0.5s or so. (Measured with go 1.4). As soon as you do any actual work with the messages you are passing around, the overhead of locking will be lost in the noise.
Heroku isn't selling blank VMs, though. It's a value-added service -- you don't have to configure servers, build docker images, manage logging, wire up routes, inject service dependencies ... it goes on and on.

PaaSes are expensive if your time is free.

I work for a company which donates enormous engineering resources to an opensource Heroku competitor (Cloud Foundry). As a note, Cloud Foundry lets you specify exactly how much RAM you want to use. You can try it on Pivotal Web Services[0] (hosted by my employers) or BlueMix.

Okay, now imagine that Johnsons have a weird flap on their genitalia, and 9 times out of 10 it gets in the way during sex, and prevents conception.

Would THAT weird flap trait be selected against? After all, it "prevents reproduction, thereby restricting the expression of those traits in the future population."

And how is that scenario in any way different than the Smiths which merely reproduce 10 times as often, by virtue of the aforementioned century of fertility?
On digital ocean you get a very limited set of boot options. You can't provide them your own installer, boot image, kernel, iso, or any of that jazz.

You also don't get a pre-boot console.

For linux, they don't even let you provide your own kernel in userland or the like, so there's actually no way to install a BSD from a linux shim on DO.

FreeBSD on DO is the only way to get an instance that is capable of booting anything non-linux, so it's necessary to start from freebsd.

Edit: It looks like the kernel limitation has been lifted for some linux instances too. See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upda...

That's exactly the awkward ground Go is in and why I stopped using it. It's not really necessary for any company's web backend I've worked on, the existing in Ruby/Python/JS works fine. Yet it can't compete with the other stuff out there, Rust, C(++), Erlang or soon Swift 2.0.

Though admittedly, some of these have a dismal concurrency story so I got to hand Go credit where it deserves.

Website Voat rises as Reddit stumbles
What steps would you go through if you lost the passwords to either the domain registrar or the AWS account? How does the account recovery work?

Usually it relies on ownership of some third account, e.g. email. Okay, what's the recovery process for the email account? Receiving an SMS to a particular phone number? Okay, what's the recovery process for that phone number? What's the process to get the phone number redirected?

At some point you're going to end up being able to ring up a number and tell someone a name, address, date of birth etc. Best case you ring up and they say okay we'll mail you something. Or they make you come in person and sign.

Customers lose credentials constantly, and won't tolerate being told that this means their account is unrecoverable. So there is almost always another way.

> Just like when YouTube users stole from movie and music publishers, this is Facebook users stealing from YouTube "content creators".

My point exactly.

> All this talk of "so what, YouTube did it too" ...

I didn't say "so what." I said Youtube became the billion dollar acquisition it was by doing exactly what Facebook is doing to them. I believe the appropriate term is "Quid Pro Quo."

> ... it disguises the fact that YT arent the ones who are suffering from the consequences of this trend - publishers using it as a platform are.

Cannot the same thing be said to the people employed by content producers such as Viacom et al? When Youtube used the same "we'll take this stuff down, but drag our heels doing it" tactics Facebook is doing now, were not real artists impacted? How is "publishers using it as a platform" in any way different than "publishers using Viacom as a platform?"

> By bringing up Facebooks privacy policy you are adding nothing to the discussion of the culture of FB users stealing YouTube users' videos sans accreditation.

But are they common with the light yields and spectrum width of the GP? If so, can you cite where they're for sale? No hydro growth shops can source any at significantly better prices than the one in GP, and with higher energy use to boot. You cannot just go to IKEA, get a couple of meters of their bottom-price LEDs and start your indoor grow operation with that. Believe me, 1000's of people have tried and failed; forums are full of reports. (Mostly from people growing marijuana of course, but also chili peppers, which is my use case).

I actually have a grow shop around the corner from where I live who have chili peppers in their display grow boxes (because they can't grow marijuana there for legal reasons), and they use MH lamps still; if there would be a cheaper way to grow, they'd switch in a heartbeat, because indoor growing is about squeezing every last drop of efficiency from your setup (although it's been a while since I've been there to be honest, and I did see them advertise a LED grow light a few weeks ago, but still not at prices much lower than GP).

The prices in the article look like they were all run through a script to "fix" the formatting by adding a decimal point two digits from the right (without checking to see if there was already a decimal point in the price).

I agree that the prices seem useless in their current formatting.

Why they don't post to Facebook as well? If they have some good content and they don't push it on some market then somebody else will.

I know, I know. Piracy, copyright, "I made it, they just remixed it by cutting me out". "It's mine, where is my money?!" Internet apparently doesn't care.

Either you serve the market your content or the market gets served your content without ever knowing about you.

Is Facebook profiting from this? Sure. Was/is YouTube profiting from the same thing? Yes. Do internet providers profit from piracy in general? Of course. Same as writable DVD manufacturers were. XEROX owners and whoever.

Is that bad? It's way better than if it was to be made absolutely sure that they don't.

I get what you're saying. And I agree that any company which profits by the uncompensated works of others is wrong.

My point is that there are many comments here which are along the lines of "string Facebook up on the nearest tree because they allow people to put stuff up which is owned by a content creator who published it on Youtube!!!" The logic being, as you imply, that the content creators on Youtube are not being compensated.

And how is that different from Youtube profiting from their users ripping off content creators and putting it up on Youtube?

My closing point was that I believe there are better reasons to take the pitchforks and torches out regarding Facebook.

An Open Letter to DevOps “enthusiast”
Interesting. I do admit that much of what I know comes from books written for growing marijuana, since until a few years ago those were almost the only (large scale) applications of indoor growing, and that most of that knowledge isn't very scientific (for example until a few years ago the mainstream technique to force bloom on mj plants was to vary the light cycle only). Research is frantic in the field, a fascinating development.

One last question if you don't mind: do you see a market for this in small scale operations, or do market pressures force your customers to grow always bigger like in the rest of agriculture? It seems that the only (sustainable) way to make a profit on growing food (plants and animals) is by scaling up.

(OK I lied, I have another question actually: with the pressure on lighting system vendors in Europe to screen their customers for illegal operations, and increasing pressure to hold vendors accountable for such use, are you experiencing that American vendors actually have a market advantage on this? Do you export to Europe? (meta: who would have thought just 10 years ago that in 2015 the US would become the world's leader on high tech marijuana production!) also sorry for focusing on mj, your industry suffers from its association with it, I know - it's just that that market was the only non-academic source of knowledge on it for so long)
