I'm building a product suite around the data integration process. The first product I released more than a month ago is WRGL Repos: https://www.wrgl.co - it deals with data versioning.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
BTW if anyone is banging their head trying to benchmark JavaScript, don't be. I recently built jest-bench to address this need: https://github.com/pckhoi/jest-bench
I'm the founder and sole engineer of WRGL: https://www.wrgl.co. I have just launched the first version and looking for a part-time job to support myself while keeping developing WRGL. Beside my own product I have 6-years experience working with multiple startups in the past including:
I would describe myself as someone who can balance the avant-garde side of technology as well as product deliverability. I hope you find my profile interesting and contact me if you're interested.
Then why don't you try it and see if it work for you. Way more productive than endless speculation.
I see the irony that is your attempt to dismiss these labels is just a way to label these people as self-aggrandizing fraud. In absence of evidence isn't it wiser to not assume such a stand?
Would it change your opinion if I already have done exactly that and I have been professionally diagnosed as a sociopath? I'm also not accusing anyone of anything. I'm very specifically asking a question and revealing my opinions and reasoning for my opinoin on the matter as a non-expert on the subject.
edit: it should also be noted that the article says she was diagnosed with sociopathy which isn't even in the DSM-5. In fact the word sociopathy appears once in the entire DSM-5 as an incorrect term to describe antisocial personality disorder. Which to me is a red-flag for self-diagnosis.
The byline is "Patric Gagne is a writer and doctor of psychology from Los Angeles." She might have stretched the truth in the essay, but surely we can still trust NYT to verify something like this? Anyone with a PhD in psychology has had access to all the diagnosis she could ever need. She isn't anonymous. If she really isn't what she so publicly claims to be, someone from her university would speak up. Of course, no one wants to have a public squabble with a sociopath...
Speak up against what? It's an unfalsifiable immeasurable diagnosis. I appreciate that most everyone means well, but academia is not some city on a hill with saints wielding an omniscient peer review process. Incredibly elementary statistical errors make it thru peer review process in even the highest impact journals somewhat frequently - so no I don't have any faith that academics would criticize an unfalsifiable diagnosis even if they could. That's really the basis of my opinion in the first place - if you can't prove something is true then you can't prove it's false. That being the case, what's the point of the label to begin with?
If you were diagnosed it means some measurement was used. These labels are useful granted they’re correctly applied, to first of all understand oneself, attempt to improve the condition and blend in with the rest of the world without causing suffering/pain in others.
This method would limit benefactors to only those who have access to the internet and a way to receive money online. Most of the third world country population wouldn't fit into this category.
And you can't be solving big systematic problems and bring about societal change by working with individual cases. This is like fighting fire when you should have made the building fireproof in the first place.
As long as the intention is to actually create wealth for the society as a whole as opposed to just making yourself rich, I don't see a problem to what Elon does.
I do think that $70/mo is reasonable per cluster but don't dismiss the value of k8s even for small projects. I used to bring a project from Ansible to k8s and even though it use only 2 nodes (~$200/mo), the tooling, the abstraction, the snappiness of gke was very much worth the switch.
You are misguided in thinking that Reddit is a good source of information. Reddit is heavily biased, very left leaning on any political matters. Most subreddits are echo chambers where anyone who voice a different viewpoint could be down-voted to smithereens. The toxicity there is also too high, some are so eager to use insult to drown out any argument.
Surely there are left-leaning subreddits and right-leaning ones? Although, as anecdata, the purportedly neutral politics sub I frequent is definitely left-leaning (but it's swung back and fro over time).
The author didn't say that we should trust MasterCard but he was saying that this trust issue can be solved much more efficiently via the legal system. And in practice the current system already works as billions entrust their financial transactions in these institutions.
Some people have the tendency to think that technology could solve anything and should be allowed to solve everything. This Libra thing is no better than the crypto-currencies.
Ok, now what if the legal system is the one trying to get them to run the malicious code?
For example, governments, in the past, have tried to prevent bank transactions from being sent to wiki leaks, even though they were never charged with any crimes.
The credit card transactions failed to go through, but the crypto transactions DID succeed.
Crypto currencies seem to have done a pretty good job so far, of preventing this attack vector.
I can think of no examples where a government has taken over a crypto currency yet.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
