@sama has raised lots of $ so why risk these types of issues by outsourcing what you have the funding to build and control in-house? plausible deniability? (similar with their prev? use of auth0)
Sam Altman is a con man and certainly the definition of evil. He's certainly not head of engineering so it's not even upto him, not that he's even capable of making such a decision
Love the concept, and nicely executed! But what is Kafka-specific here? It seems like this illustrated guide describes any highly scalable, persistent pub/sub system
I take the slippery slope argument seriously, however, maybe there is a compromise: we could (at least attempt to) come up with a measurement of content risk and (at least attempt to) agree upon some threshold of what constitutes "extreme" beyond a reasonable doubt. This way we continue to preserve fringe views while also properly suppressing harmful outliers.
DigitalOcean is no longer a simpler AWS; it may have been at one time, but no longer. If you check community voting, they have ignored moving toward a serverless model, and this is where the Cloud is moving. With each passing day, they become less like AWS (or the other 2 of Big 3 Cloud Providers: Azure and GCP) and more like a traditional VM host company.
I even tried to run their “Managed” K8s cluster, and it was far more difficult than AWS EMR or Azure HDInsight (never tried Google’s equivalent). No way to run scripts when cluster is initialized (apart from using something like Helm; doable but not simpler than AWS), no easy way to choose preconfigured environment (i.e., Spark or Hadoop). D.O. basically provides a simple interface to spin up a VM. Their command line client isn’t any simpler than aws-cli or Azure “az” which also has simple features like integrating well with PowerShell and OAuth2 client login from terminal. Even Spaces was no simpler, than S3 or Azure Blob Storage
Brain Drain is about networking. Why would most give up the opportunity to relocate around the top thinkers in their field? Inhibiting this movement would arguably slow down progress, while making the country more robust (much like the pros/cons associated with most centralization vs. de-centralization topics).
People from my hometown (pop. ~7500 in Midwest), do not realize that they are falling behind at an almost exponential rate. Many are working jobs that require common training, they do not continue their education, and they spend far too much time behind screens in the form of entertainment. And, even for those who want to continue to learn, they do not have access to a nearby tech meeting hosted by a top firm speaking on the state of the art. If you're not in SF or NY, then you do miss out on a lot of opportunities per people and shared information.
* I am personally ashamed to say that I only realized the power and advantage of networking in recent years.
> Inhibiting this movement would arguably slow down progress.
Don't think the lawmakers want to inhibit movement rather, probably they want to use these conclusions to encourage people to stay. The prosperity brought by progress can be spread across many regions.

Do you think it's caused by the lack of other people who are moving ahead aka role models or are there other factors(quality education etc...)?
I do feel and have seen despite being in the right place some people don't get same opportunities for upward mobility despite being literally next door.
Education, and lack of opportunity for those who are educated and talented. (They will go where they can reap the most benefits for themselves). That top talent - will also educate their co-workers. Not just the people they work closely with, but everyone in their organization will receive great benefits from collaborating with the people who collaborate with that top talent.
But most people working in the tech industry; (which is very highly stovepiped) - will never experience that, and may only read about it.
When you're not fortunate enough to be employed in one of the top tech industry companies, or in one of the hotspots where the industry is focused (Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, Austin, Virginia, maybe Provo, Seattle) - then you have to do all you can to use the internet to constantly learn and grow your skills; but also, you have to try to constantly evangelize the same attitude to your co-workers, and management. It is an exhausting job.
I'm roughly 5 years out of undergrad and my peers from my midwestern private school are already stratifying. There are people who flock to the coasts or get assigned to some midwestern capital for a few years (but with a well paying job and opportunity to transfer to a larger office), and there are those who stayed behind. More often then not the people left behind either didn't finish college or aren't using their degree, got married at 23 and kids at 24, and/or parading a pyramid scheme on instagram. Its a shame because this was a private school with a strong focus on higher education, lots of kids getting great scholarships to awesome schools, but after college its like these people stop engaging themselves to beef up their resume. It's easy to stagnate in the midwest.
I made the switch to a refurbished 6s a couple of months ago when we started work on a new iOS app, and I am happy that I did. For the foreseeable future, I'll be purchasing iPhones. (I even purchased the recently announced Mac Mini in order to access the Apple software ecosystem; though, I suspect that I'll continue to prefer my Ubuntu laptop for productivity).
Why switch? After all this time (embarrassed to say), I've finally started to take my data privacy seriously. I really respect Google as an engineering company, and even as a product company. Products like Search/PageRank, Maps, StreetView, SkyMap, Translate, Books/Scholar, AdWords/AdSense/AdMob, Places, Trends, TensorFlow (and CoLab w/ free 12 hr sessions of TPU or GPU), BigTable, Gmail, Glass, and of course Android all are/were really great products. The only problem: those offerings are for the direct purpose of collecting your personal data (or the indirect purposes of making their other products - which collect your data - more efficient, or to bring more people online to collect data from).
I would love Google as a product company; I hate them as an ad company (85%+ of revenues resulting from advertising activities). I have migrated from, or I am currently migrating from, every Google product with the exception of YouTube (difficult to break from that, so I try to mitigate by having multiple accounts) and TensorFlow.
Notifications on Android were never an issue for me. Maybe I didn't have a similar suite of apps as OP. (iOS notifications have been more annoying thus far).
No, some logic simply isn’t cleanly decomposable, plus the main problem here is that objects lets you get away with implicit state (e.g. if (this.x == 0) doA() else doB(); ) for long enough that when you start realizing you need explicit state, it’s usually distributed quite a bit.
In case anyone else was wondering about the power requirement for the sintering furnace: 208V 3-phase, 30A. The 3-phase requirement may be an impediment to some hobbyists; they should probably offer it with a buying option of their own branded inverter.
