Users as prey is a terrifying but not unrealistic narrative. Thanks for sharing.

Great example, thanks for sharing.

This is a really interesting point that I cannot help but equate to Phillip-Morris understanding tobacco better than anyone in 1975.

I had not thought of it this way, but interesting point. I have seen this as well.

Insightful yet frightening.

This is it to me as well

Hear, hear

I was thinking something very similar. Once you've accepted any need at all for global state the next move is to reorient to minimizing it with horizontally scalable point local state and a small targeting dataset and tiered caching system.

Insightful, thank you.

Wikimedia Foundation | Operations Engineer (Cloud Services) | SF | Remote

I am an engineer with the team. We run a niche hosting operation directed at the Wikimedia community tooling and ecosystem. We are migrating some of our workload to Kubernetes slowly (from an aging Grid Engine setup), and maintain our own OpenStack cloud. We use a lot of Python, Puppet, and debug wherever problems take us.

We do a round of interviews starting with HR, hiring manager, and team members. All interviewing and hiring can be done remote. Some regular overlap with east coast US (UTC-7) hours is expected to coordinate.
