With all the respect I have for Glyph, he's the least objective person to talk about this, having so much invested in one side of the argument.

New features like this are exactly what we need to encourage more people (including myself...) to invest time porting their projects to Python 3! I look forward to seeing this approved.

If it's final I guess the TODO section should be empty ;-)

If you want to see an up-to-date talk about this from John, he will be a speaker at http://dotscale.io on June 8!

> Imagine: You’re 16. You’re in school. You’re sitting in class.

Honestly, I think it's impossible for anyone above ~25 to imagine what it's like to be 16 in school today.

Context and social dynamics have changed too much for anyone that old (and probably anyone at all) to be insightful about the behaviour of groups of teenagers using a yet unreleased product.

Then you might want to see both of them on the same stage in June :) http://www.dotscale.io/

Those brands are for-profit and opening up may indeed not make sense financially.

TED is a non-profit, and their goal is to build an efficient platform for sharing ideas (and not only theirs). In this regard, opening up makes total sense, even if brand damage is a risk. (hence the respect)

You talk about TEDx like if it is a single entity, but it is actually thousands of individuals making independent decisions, with minimal oversight from TED. So of course there are going to be a few mistakes and if anything we should respect TED for opening up their brand and allowing experimentation.

The whole point is staying alert to see these mistakes, whether they come from TEDx organizers or from TED itself because nobody is right 100% of the time.

FYI, Salvatore will speak at dotScale in Paris about Disque on June 8: http://dotscale.io

For those interested, Salvatore will present Disque at the next dotScale conference in Paris, on June 8: http://www.dotscale.io

This old HN thread may be relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4748624

Met one of the guys who did in this in 2010. He said they have done many other projects of similar or larger scale but they generally keep them out of the spotlights. Impressive stuff!

A smaller Akamai bill?

Did you read the article? Your points are irrelevant because it's not 100% P2P, they say they reach ~58% of P2P use, while the rest comes from regular CDNs.

The daily builds of the 15.04 alpha may be on the mirrors but what he meant was cutting-edge stable. Had he used an unstable daily build, his arguments would have been much less relevant.

Exciting times! Congrats to both teams.

I talked with him a couple days ago and while I didn't ask about France specifically, he basically said that "corruption" can take different forms overseas, depending on the system in place there are always indirect ways for money to exert influence. (and ways to fight it!)

One of the guys wrote something and published it as open source. The other got to use it for free but still complains with an inappropriate tone. Hard not to side with the first one by default.

From what the website says, BGP does support lossless compression.

This was asked in a French Q&A session with the ESA and they dismissed it as "science-fiction" :)

Definitely correlated! And the function must be different in each case, but I'd bet it's never linear :)

You should have in mind that the time you spend on your startup is not linearly correlated to its success.

Reposting it here as a test :)

As a reminder, Yahoo acquired Qwiki for $50M just one year ago...

Exactly the same here. #1 is my wife and #2 is a relative stranger, which I should actually not have on Facebook. Probably a bug.

> How many of you would be willing to travel four hours each way just to look at one car?

When Tesla faces a ban in a state, they convert their stores to showrooms so people would still be able to see the cars.

The last testimonial in the README gave me a good laugh :)

There was a talk at dotScale about the healthcare.gov website and what went bad on a technical level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQyj-kBRdo

As others have said, the rational thing to do would be pro-rata dilution.

Your real problem though is why didn't they ask for that in the first place. It looks like they want to squeeze you out and you should have a transparent discussion about that first.
