I think they see their job as encouraging investment. I share your perspective, but some people are reassured when they see effort put into making a platform more hostile to license-infringement.

"otohime" is how to pronounce one of the terms of address for the second daughter of the first Kamakura shogun. The Second daughter, hence, the "younger princess".

The Japanese word for sound is also pronounced "oto". So, a device which makes noise to help you be discreet...

There is. The feature is called "Screen Sharing."

That was the excuse given at the time. If they had meant it, the law would only apply to primary residences, not second homes or rental properties, much less commercial properties, much less Disneyland.

Yes, please.

Also may I ask, what's your view of Singapore as a jurisdiction for digital nomad incorporation? Braintree already supports it for payments, and Stripe is in "private beta"...

I'll color you trusting: you are choosing to be fixedly _un_-skeptical of the FBI's competence.

> because they think the network is there to serve THEM.

I can't tell if you mean to imply that it's there to be served by them, or that it is there to serve "regulars".

They are the American one-cent and ten-cent coins, respectively. The words are also used to indicate costs of $0.01 and $0.10.

No, though there's very good evidence to the contrary: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151118/08474732854/after...

This looks very similar to Paul Hammant's "cookie cutter scaling" pattern (http://paulhammant.com/2011/11/29/cookie-cutter-scaling/), which I find equally baffling. Perhaps I've just never encountered the conditions which are favorable to it, but what I like about microservices is how they decouple every services' rate of change, and going back to lock-step deploys throws that all away.

> In addition, with a monolith, the work of monitoring, alerting, configuration, and a local development is paid once. But with a microservice design, that cost must be paid for every service.

The second sentence is only true if _every service_ actually rolls its own monitoring, alerting, etc. I cannot imagine a situation like that in practice. The standardization of those things (and more, such as build and deployment pipelines) is necessary to enable microservices in the first place. It's true that plenty of organizations committed to their microservice framework will also run some things outside of it, but I've never seen the ratio of things in the framework closer to 0 than 1.

The Soul of Man Under Socialism (the source of the quote, if anyone's curious) gave me the distinct impression that Wilde enjoyed bugging the shit out of people. Who would have guessed?

Would you apply the same analysis if I claimed I could buy a t-shirt from a store without using any factories?

I hope that things continue to improve for you.

There are still edge cases in California too, or at least one: if you leave partnership (not employment) with an LLC registered in _another_ state, non-competes still apply. I know this from experience with H1, the Holacracy-making company. I don't blame them for having a non-compete, and I wasn't interested in founding a competitor or working for one of their clients, but it was weird to think those actions could make me liable.

I haven't used JAWS, and I don't see where they speak to this question, but I do work on AWS lambda "applications", and typically they're versioned using versioned S3 buckets. It's very easy to continuously "deploy" code artifacts to S3, but only update the revision working on production traffic when you're good and ready. You can also optionally spin up complete duplicates of your infrastructure using the new revision, for exceedingly realistic integration or performance tests.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "tracking," but you can log anything you like from a Lambda function, and include version information in those logs.

I do agree with your analogy and caution, though.

> service, skilled, technical, and professional positions. > "white-collar" jobs

Are those the two groups of jobs you meant? I don't see the distinction between them...

Holacracy is not a system for determining salary, or any specific tactical question, in the same way that "Agile" isn't a system for determining what programming language to use. Holacracy just says how an organization can decide how to apportion responsibility and authority. Different organizations reach compensation decisions in a wide variety of ways, no matter their meta-organizational framework.

Commonly, salaries are decided in a way very similar to the process at a "normal" company.

> To me it looks like he wants to have top management, a few superstars, and the rest of the company are totally interchangeable.

As I said, not much different.

I think at least some of the interest comes from the possibility of the water supporting _human_ life.

You're not at all alone, many people describe the same experience.

The "symbol" in the center is obviously the year at the time of the interview, 2010.

Finally, it's official: Node is the new PHP.

> Whoever contemplates the world in the light of an ideal--whether what he seeks be intellect, or art, or love, or simple happiness, or all together--must feel a great sorrow in the evils that men needlessly allow to continue, and--if he be a man of force and vital energy--an urgent desire to lead men to the realization of the good which inspires his creative vision.

"Proposed Roads to Freedom" is my pick for number one.

I wouldn't recommend it: the name and logo are trademarked, and even if you replaced those, if anyone noticed the rest of the copying, you'd be the laughingstock of the internet. Who'd want to buy your product then?

>Prudential didn't need an affiliate locator application. They needed a static HTML page that told people to call the number.

They needed a competitor.

Posting on Hacker News Can Turn You Humorless

Or sold, which can be incentivized in various (legal, unexciting) ways.

The evidence of their behavior suggests it's not branding or dishonesty: they genuinely believe a mission to increase representation of the underrepresented gender does not constitute sexism. Given that, are any reasons for them to hold such a meaning of sexism, other than being "crazy"?

I think the NHS gives free mental health counseling.

Well, there are other objects and substances which are illegal to make/possess, despite the fact that most anyone can make them from legal materials, so the situation you describe wouldn't be anything new.

Apple is welcome to do what they like (and it seems like they're offering alternatives that are at least equivalent, and possibly superior) but a "major release" has incompatible changes to APIs by definition.
