Stop using the Hola VPN right now. The company behind Hola is turning your computer into a node on a botnet, and selling your network to anyone who is willing to pay.

How do we know these researchers aren't just being payed by Hollywood to scare everyone off?

Hopefully you see this. When you return the truck, tell them you will do a chargeback and let them fight with the credit card company if they don't give you a discount.

It will be worth their time to give you the discount, because they know the credit card company will screw them hard.

There was an episode of ST:TNG that covers exactly this: http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/The_Chase_(episode)

FWIW, the Plan B wasn't going to work regardless -- it works by forcing the uterus to shed its lining. Since the egg was implanted in the tube, shedding the lining won't help.

We did things with memcache that looking back were not such a good idea, like using it for locking.

Also, just the way we chose to store certain types of data don't scale very well at reddit's current scale.

And lastly, we really should have broken it into microservices.

Those are the things I can think of off the top of my head.

No they don't. They need to make improvements to the software to better handle load. Improvements that are hard to make because people like me made their job harder five years ago.

Take your car/house/loan payment and divide it by 12. Add that much to each payment each month. Make sure the extra goes towards principle.

You'll pay off your loan faster and much less interest and you'll barely feel the pain, but be excited when you suddenly own your house years sooner than you thought.

Sadly not anymore. When they lost the rights to call it "Top Gun" they also lost the rights to the music.

How would you go about getting one of those jobs?

A lot of hard work and some luck. But a more useful answer is experience. My experience is broad, I try to make sure I'm doing something different every few years. Also I have experience at all sorts of different company sizes, which means doing a bunch of general and specific things.

Would you like to do a AMA?

I've done a couple before, but sure. :)

How did you end up in this position?

I think I answered that above?

What kind of education do you have?

I have an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley in Cognitive Science, but I rarely use those skills from day to day. The more useful part of my education was when I worked for the University helping students with their in-room network issues and then helping upgrade said network.

Do you just get hired by a company to talk to their employees on how to make things better?

Sometimes (rarely). Like in this case it's just a friendly visit (and in most cases). Usually if there is any compensation involved it's travel and lodging and some food.

How much do Rito peace be upon them pay you?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but my consulting rate ranges from a few hundred an hour to a few thousand a day, depending on the job.

Riot has a lot of stuff going on besides the game itself, mainly the entire infrastructure for running the game, which is not much different than the infrastructure that runs any complicated client/server application, which is where my expertise is.

Close, I was a reddit admin and then worked for Netflix, which is one of Amazon's biggest customers.

No longer an admin. The 40 years of gold was a going away present.

Most recently I was working at Netflix making the infrastructure more reliable and easier to use. Riot uses a lot of the same stuff that Netflix does. So it's more about the backend than the game itself.

It's what consultants do all the time. They have their expertise and then learn about the customers problems. I'm not a consultant here but it's the same deal -- I know about distributed computing problems and cloud computing, and they want to know more.

twitch alone (system for viewing things live, it's YouTube for livestreams)

Heh, I'm very familiar with Twitch. Their founder used to play video games at the reddit office with us (Starcraft).

No I really didn't. I've never had an interest in watching other people play games so it didn't occur to me. Although when others make fun of the practice I always vigorously defend it, asking them how it's any different than watching someone play football.

That was actually the one thing I knew going in. :)

I had a bunch of money to burn.

Nah, the person below got it right, I was an admin and helped developed the gold system. We all gave ourselves 40 years of gold to test the edge case of extreme gold.

I'm guessing that anything I learn about any of those topics will be under NDA, but I'll see what in can find. :)

Thanks for the info on the tourneys.

I'm gonna do this and then tell them /u/wsm_squirtzilla told me to do it. Cool?
