Better pay for those lucky enough to work at the remaining 10% of restaurants. Not good for the remainder of employees.

What a tired argument. Of course we are special. We are capable of genetically modifying our food supplies and building shelter that allows us to live in any climate on the planet.

This is satire, right? You're suggesting that ideas don't make it from SF to mountain view in less than 6 months with thousands of people commuting between the two each day and cross pollination of meetups on both sides. Container

In-N-Out truly seems to be in a league of its own. The one I frequented in Mountain View would consistently have a line through off hours. I would show up midnight and still have to wait. Meanwhile, the Jack in the Box just down the street

AMZN is entirely focused on long term gains and reinvesting money and the stock is killing it. Being publicly traded != making short term decisions.

Doesn't seem to add up. Google, Amazon, and Facebook are just 3 examples of companies that give no shits about what public investors think and will spend money on the business.

What is a 'proper' salary? Also, the very reason this is news is because it's 3x the average. If all of the restaurants paid the same it would just be the average and not worth an article.

Because people vote party lines. If your goal is Republicans in office, then a little assault isn't gonna get in the way of that.

'wildly blue' is incorrect about the population centers. If that were correct the vote would have gone to Trump given how the vast majority of the population is in the cities. Look at the election results from Missoula, Great Fall

It has nothing to do with the resilience of cloud providers. If the cloud providers were resilient, then you wouldn't need all of the wonderful scheduling tooling from stuff like kubernetes to deal with unstable individual machines. Yo

No, it's not advocating a conspiracy theory. It's pointing out that you aren't very secure when you are operating in a model where it's even possible to leak all of your client records without even noticing. Compare slac

Nation states only attack companies they care about. That's the point. Once you have your info on slack, you share the fate with the million other companies that nation states might care about.

This thought process ignores the fact that lots of money comes from rich people that make biased decisions based on these types of things. It's much harder to raise money if you aren't from a pedigreed school. Saying "just st

Wow, that's a terrible emergent cruelty from a complex labyrinth of years of backroom negotiations. I'm sorry for your loss and that you had to pay for it like that monetarily as well.

I'm not sure where you got the impression that this is like USENIX. Eurocrypt is theory and application of cryptography. A significant chunk of publications have nothing to do with application and discuss interesting theoretical math.

The difference is that they will only hack into your on-prem solution if you are the target. With a central service, all of slack's million customers get compromised because of one single hack.

If it's not exposed to the internet, an out of date on-prem is still better than everything on a massive centralized public vendor server that 5 nation states are hacked into.

Don't be intentionally obtuse. The point of the comparison was to highlight that lower detection of something doesn't mean less of it.

The big part you're missing in this comparison is one slack compromise gets the attacker every slack conversation for everyone that uses it. If someone gets into an email server, they only get the mailboxes on that server. By centraliz

An 11 year history is hardly worth betting what could be the future of your company on. Especially for something just slightly more convenient than what can be built in-house.

The difference is that you can't be screwed by a single company deciding to change prices. When people refer to "lock-in", they are referring to being able to be screwed by a single vendor. Nobody cares if they are locked int
