en-dash my friend


Action is more important than intent. I'm sure many at Kodak knew that digital was a threat too. Organisational resistance prevents knowledge turning into action.


For uber you don't need a rating at all. The tracking system knows if they were late, if they took a good route and if they dropped you off at the wrong location.

Anything really bad can be dealt with via a complaint system.

Anything exceptional could be asked by a free text field when giving a tip.

Who is going to read all those text fields and classify them? AI!


Counterpoint -- Lyft attempted to charge me a late fee when a driver went to the wrong spot in a parking by garage.


Star rating doesn't help here



Or relocate the business to an immigration friendly jurisdiction. Korea maybe?


Thanks! That was a pleasant read. I have been wanting to mess with cgroups for a while, in order to hack together a "docker" like many have done before to understand it better. This will help!

Are there typical use cases where you reach for cgroups directly instead of using the container abstraction?


Thanks for the kind words. Even if you are not building a cloud service, I think it is good to understand how the underlying layer works and what are the knobs and the limits of the platform. I could see a use case where two or more processes need to run on one VM or a container, maybe for cost-saving reasons or specific architecture/security reasons, but need to be guaranteed a certain amount of resources and a certain isolation from each other.


If I see a cute cartoon with a cryptocurrency mining like "KHash/s" thing I am gonna leave that site real quick!

It should explain it isn't mining and just verifying the browser or such.


It includes links with explanations, but the page does kind of "fly by" in many cases. At which point, would you still leave?

I'm guessing folks have seen enough captcha and CloudFlare verification pages to get a sense that they're being "soul" checked and that it's not an issue usability-wise.


Proxies for analytics are already a thing. E.g. plausable shows you how to set one up. A 3rd party cookie can however be the same value sent again and again from the same browser from different sites to the central server tracking you across the web. The global who you are is in the cookie.


So nice to hear talk like that in the AI "your code is worthless age". Keep the craft going!


Yeah $175k plus 30% say stake in high growth company plus already owns home plus parents help woth kids and they own home nearby is different to $175k none of above.


That $175k was pre-pandemic, as the post says, it's $207,264 now.

I'd also say that you're presuming a lot about the lifestyle of some strangers on the internet.


Which is $167,202 in pre-pandemic, inflation-adjusted dollars.


That's the point. "$175k is good enough for me" doesn't mean much, especially as they also have a large stake in the company (not an assumption) as well as possibly other advantages (or not, they dont divulge).

Don't get me wrong. Rethinking comp is great and they are paying well. But you can't make the argument that X is enough for founders (plus let's forget equity!!) and so X is generous for everyone.


We all receive equity.


All the same equity, I assume?


No, it’s variable. This is covered in this thread and in the original article.


Eye roll. I get capitalism. It's OK. Just say "we do capitalism". Why pretend otherwise?


Nobody is pretending we’re not doing capitalism.
