Something like this isn't unheard of either. My wife worked as a sexual assault advocate for some time. Part of the job requirement was regular therapy sessions for her.

You're missing a huge component. I used to play games where people would threaten me all the time. But they were Russians or Danes who lived halfway around the world that didn't even know my real name. Even if they were telling

Or, sometimes: Step 5. We need to hire high quality local team that can take ownership over product. We are willing to pay a fortune. But we can't hire anyone local, because we did step 3 for too long or too often, and that knowledge

Why use dead people? Property tax records are public information. There's more than one website that lets you go through them.

How does Joe Armstrong's dissertation help you monitor the correct metrics? Edit: or what about his dissertation would have made monitoring unnecessary?

> And if you find scaling microservices harder than a giant stateful monolith well then clearly you've done something wrong. Monoliths don't have to be stateful anymore than a microservice does. Stop arguing against strawmen.

Yes, edge cases can make features pathological. That "simple feature X" might be simple in isolation but when crossed with "simple feature Y" may cause your edge cases, test code, and linecount, to explode. Not all feat

If you're a resident, they eventually have to let you in. But if you aren't, they can reject you for any reason. This isn't something you can solve with tech. Those of us who are citizens of the US need to vote for politici

Yeah, I'm not a lawyer but a small set of judges hearing such a large number of a type of case seems to run counter to what they attempt to set the legal system up as. It runs counter to the geographically distributed system and it ru

All but number 4 is completely reliant upon Etsy not getting their act together. I would say the safest is actually #4 without taking VC or going public. Etsy already validated the hand crafted market, but imho it isn't a devour the wo

I think the idea is that fast lane will be default, and the slow lane will be for huge companies that refuse to pay a fee. Since the BigCos can afford to pay, it results in no ire from customers and extra, easy profits for the ISPs.

On top of that, Amazon's single region EC2 SLA kicks in at 99.95%. So unless you are using multiple regions in AWS, going by their SLA you're already in the range of a few hours of downtime per year.

Your post reads a bit contradictory. The only way we can all be responsible for negative externalities is if we each individually choose to be responsible, or if lawmakers force us all to be responsible. I honestly don't know what yo

We do roughly this where I work, so I broadly agree. That said, it's fairly common for the unit of reuse to be below service methods. Also, depending upon how exactly you manage transactions, another thing to look out for is making mu

Cyclist usually isn't lucid to give their account. So the cops interview the car driver. Guess whose at fault? I've had this happen to more than one friend, despite other witnesses. One currently fighting a $200k medical bill

Same for me. On Southwest, my knees fit exactly (slightly touching) without the person infront of me reclining. Luckily I'm fairly wiry and usually angle my butt to the left of the chair, and knees on the right (or vice versa). Or I

At least in the US, there is limited ability to sue foreign sovereigns in our courts - not sure if that's the case in the UK too. Beyond that, I doubt this is a rabbit hole any government, much less the UK - which has a fairly imperia

Wasn't the story behind the NSA leak that it explicitly wasn't well protected, and was passed relatively freely between contractors and without much in the way of oversight?

It seems like a safer use of extra funding is for free expansions. It may seem unfair to take $140 million and build a $10 million game, but people funded you with your $10 million game, deadlines included, in mind.

For a large portion of the population, Facebook IS the web. You say it adds no value. I say it adds a ton: Facebook is their Google. Without "a google" - something to make sense of this mess of trillions of pages, the web is da

In the last housing bubble rents and mortgages disconnected pretty severely. My friends and I were renting a million dollar house in Los Gatos for just $2400/month. Not sure how things are nowadays though.

In a vacuum, this isn't a problem. In practice, what you have is people regulating and creating laws for their future employer, and/or legal bribery (knowing you'll get a cushy job for supporting a bill). At this point, you
