Fair enough. I learned - in an American college - that “capitalism” was a term coined by Adam Smith in “Wealth if Nations”, which apparently was an incorrect conflation made by my …

Thanks! It’s a small world on HN haha. What was the issue? If you don’t mind me asking

I’d argue that free markets are a requirement of the definition of capitalism, but like the term “communism” the definition has become squishy. I agree that your definition inevita…

This critique, which annoyingly has little to do with the headline, is a regurgitation of many of the surface level critiques that have been made of VCs for years. Nothing novel ab…

~Capitalizm~ Capitalism is purely a theoretical idea. Free markets as capitalism defines them are impossible. Perfect information, competition, price taking, ect, which are baked i…

I had this issue last night. What was really odd was that algolia’s API was throttling - 429 error code - when I was connected to my wifi, but when I switched to my cell network it…

Why fundraise against the Prisma open source project instead of creating a new brand for the premium / enterprise product? Like how Confluent is separate from Kafka. As a developer…

These types of tools are effectively another way to parameterize your SQL that _feels_ more like writing in your scripting language (nodejs in this case) This approach is notorious…

Oh, it’s mentioned in the very last paragraph!

Me too! They also don’t make much sense. The innovation in data storage was from “self-hosted” to “managed”. That’s quite a broad generalization over what’s happened in data storag…

And perhaps detriment. Nodejs apps are notoriously more difficult to keep secure because of how many npm dependencies are needed for a project and how often vulnerabilities are dis…

Does Prisma have a business model or premium version I’m not aware of? I don’t see anything on their site around premium options. Not sure why Amplify Partners would invest in Pris…

Are they? What’s the alternative that gets all the undeserved attention?

While learning about another tech stack is lots of fun for an engineer, I believe that great products aren’t written by great tools. They’re built by great engineers. A great tool …

> 24-monthers never deeply learn how things work. They’ll typically add value to a new company by carrying a collection of things they’ve seen before and shallowly applying them to…

Have you looked at Lucidchart - https://www.lucidchart.com/ ? They also have cloud infra icons.

It’s no coincidence! Apache Kafka is named after Franz Kafka. From Wikipedia: > Jay Kreps chose to name the software after the author Franz Kafka because it is "a system optimized …

This sounds like an enforcement nightmare. It’s a nice idea, but how would it actually work? So we would get some sort of commission from Instagram for every ad we view. And the go…

But there are many enterprise saas products out there with solid security, decent UX and support for older browsers. I think that they won these contracts with more “who you know” …

My thoughts exactly! And apparently they won many contracts over several years. From the article: > Netsential, a web services company used by multiple fusion centers, law enforcem…

I’m disappointed that U.S. police departments would use such low a quality service with no focus on security. Looking at Netsential’s website, their services look very basic and in…
