HN is not a healthy community for me to participate in, but it's got high variance output to a greater degree than anything except my Twitter follow group and my Slack private grou…

Situation is fictional to illustrate utility of device.

When deciding 'did something happen?' I need the sources to be generally reliable about fact reporting because they do not rely on pure reason. For fact reporting which is an aggre…

Exactly, a SaaS product is the ultimate DRM and it's socially acceptable. Make this a native app that needs always-on internet and customers who care about it being native will fli…

Does not feel like a high-coefficient source.

Drug is 8 cents a pill produced generic in India. They aren’t going to export it any more but you had your chance. You wanted to protect local pharma against generics. They’re prot…

It's a classic idea generation exercise. It isn't a prediction even if worded as such. I found it interesting.

They actually did what the other guy is saying, though.

Ah, I was curious if there are any interesting properties.

We ran a 100-petabyte cluster with all Meltdown/Spectre mitigation turned off because there was no foreign code running on it that didn't have access to the data itself. It's all a…

That sounds like just a group permissions issue in their model, and a shared mount model in the VM guy's model. These are pretty creative approaches using the built-in access contr…

You're not going to be able to mount a successful challenge against Facebook changing their APIs without sufficient warning.

If you haven't tried it, you don't really know. The advice isn't coming from people unacquainted with your method.

What an absolute legend, that guy, making product decisions on stage hahaha. I absolutely love it.

It's California. We get wildfires. I had medical N95 masks at home as well. Gave them to the hospital when they appealed for them. It makes sense. If it weren't for Facebook not ha…

If DU is a chemical weapon, then TNT is too because it's a chemical.

It isn't singling out, dude. It's just an example. Obviously from the guys avoiding signing anti-cluster-munitions and anti-landmines you can tell that they're all concerned about …

Actually, exactly. I'm in the business of writing software that's useful to people. The way they tell me it's useful to them is by paying me. At any point you may determine it isn'…

That's your personal restriction on MFABT but Facebook MFABT is most definitely "bias towards speed". It has no "don't break other people's things" in it. And they behave like that…

Digital Ocean is doing well. They're #4 as far as I remember. Maybe Oracle Cloud is suffering but that's because no one trusts Oracle - custom chipset or otherwise.
