> Wasn't the question about using them for auth, not application state? Whether a user is auth'd or not can indeed be a form of application state

> It feels dreary because you feel you have nothing left to strive for because you're only measuring your progress by your salary This. In your post you mentioned nothing but salar…

I think this write up is very fair for a solid engineering team. Is it groundbreaking and eye opening? Absolutely not, I’d say the most “hmm I didn’t know that” part of the entire …

That's cute ;)

P2P is for decentralization. Why would a centralized entity want to implement a decentralized service when they can create a centralized version of that same service faster, easier…

Have been hearing and reading a bit about this topic this morning. Can someone with possibly a better understanding explain to me (technically - no marketing speak) what this new G…

This is kind’ve a bait question. I mean the “no duh” answer (as others have already mentioned) is “whichever you are most comfortable with”. I’m confused as to what other answer yo…

Seconded. Would also love to know these things. Side note: Would definitely change the title as it comes across a bit...baity.

Gonna just chime in and mention Yahoo for Hadoop (yes I know Big Table was Google), and Zookeeper. Great tech started at Yahoo, but they didn’t (unlike today) make too much of a fu…

Welcome to LA! (Well, when you get here) Qualifier: been here for about 2.5 years and just got a new position at a startup after 2.5 years at [big_adtech_co] 1. Angelist.co for sta…

I think you’ve mentioned a HUGE part of the interview process that interviewers forget: you only have 60 mins. 45 mins if you leave time for questions (which you always should). It…

By "spent more money on congress people" @psadauskas is not simply just referring to "who spent more money last year", he's implying that the foothole that a Comcast or a Verizon h…

So Facebook is launching its Oculus Quest this spring. I absolutely loathe Facebook, its leadership (or lack thereof), and its products. But I'm absolutely thrilled to get a Quest …

I'm thinking about building a little test app that uses Google's Speech to Text Service, but since it involves money (yea you can do a bit for free, but generally speaking, there's…

This type of disclosure is quite literally standard in almost every type of public company financial disclosure. Surprised this made it to the HN front page

> You diversify to retain or safeguard wealth, you concentrate to first create wealth. That'll do it

Funny you mention this, I was just reading [1]this article related to the quote on "putting your eggs in one basket". Conventional wisdom says "diversify". However, I'm of the beli…

I mean seriously though. I love how various media platforms ALWAYS talk about Bitcoin as a failure. What? But then again, they only think of “success” as some idea cut from the sam…

I'll start the discussion by just pointing out how Bloomberg and the NYT absolutely love to talk about China being a surveillance state, but hardly ever talk about the surveillance…
