Subscription or some premium version. Like many news outlets. And Medium, the blogging platform, doesn't even do ads for its free version.

True - not wiped out. Just a bit lost as to what is the advantage of using one of the smaller companies' premium products vs AWS/GCP managed versions, and how sustainable that adva…

I would say both the company and the project. They seem to go hand-in-hand. Their business model is to allow free access to a limited version of their product -- which admittedly i…

More and more cloud providers like AWS and GCP seem to a threat to open source projects. AWS has managed Elasticsearch, Kafka, etc. GCP has managed Airflow, CockroachDB, etc. How s…

logged out, deleted my phone app and removed HN bookmarks from browsers.

In the times we are in, one cannot separate politics from tech, have to really reconsider whether to continue using HN since I strongly believe we in the tech community should have…

I guess my point was more that any application on such technology would need a trusted organization to maintain the blockchain to gain the trust of the users. I wouldn’t want, eg m…

To me it seems that every alleged application of blockchain technology can be done by having a trusted organization maintaining a reliable database. Am I missing something?

What are the benefits of blockchain technology that currently aren't solved by having some central trustworthy source maintain a database? To me it seems that a "blockchain" claim …

No meetings, no politics? Lots a dev jobs have both don’t they, especially as you become more senior and/or want to drive change in how things are done.

The multiple device part seems tricky to improve on. I don't see how this approach can be tweaked to make it easy for non-technical people to access on multiple devices. It seems l…
