I'm paying the person I received the service from. Me handing someone extra cash is neither unfair nor unethical. If you feel like Uber is doing something wrong there's a trivial solution. Just pay your driver more. Sure it doesn&

Lyft and Uber allow you to tip your driver. If you feel like they're not payed a sustainable wage, why not voluntarily give them more money? I suspect a significant number of riders are pretty well off. Why not be exceedingly generous?

We recently did a switch to buildkite.com. It's a bit unusual in that its a cloud-based UI attached to agents running on your own infrastructure. If that's an option, it may be worth a look (they do provide a cloudformation templa

Its not true that "that only one of the two major American political parties is even feigning interest at fixing what is clearly a vulnerable system". Apparently some Republicans support this bill. I bet there are some Democrats t

Working for a startup absolutely makes sense. The unstated assumption here is that you have a pile of offers from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc along with some from startups and you have to make a decision about which to go with. I suppose

Except it doesn't scale. Amazon, Google and Netflix (the companies referenced before this quote) can't run their applications on a single machine. Distributed programming is unavoidable at scale. Also there's a big difference

> Thus, they don't tend to mature more than the specific use case they get written for, provided they are still being maintained. This is all a bit abstract. There are plenty of go libraries which are suitably mature for production

Go has lots of packages. They are easily discoverable on godoc.org or just some googling. There is a cultural skepticism about the overuse of packages. There are occasions where the STD lib copied a function instead of adding an import for

Regulators also have incentives. In particular the rise of crony-capitalism in the US means that regulations end up becoming a cudgel to stifle competition as a form of rent-seeking from the government. It's the baptist and bootlegger

So you're suggesting we use BEAM instead of Kubernetes? So just rewrite all our code in Erlang, including off the shelf products we didn't write? Then use some other technology to deploy the software, configure the machine, come u
