They also have the Gates Foundation backing. If it is a shiny AI tech that could help lots of people, then the money is there

An example of US VCs squandering on scooter startups is bike sharing in China?

Squandered is a bit harsh. I don't have skin in the game either way, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a profitable business to be built once the dust settles. It can be hard…

We tried cognito (bizarrely hard to use), Auth0 (mildly hard to use), and Userfront (easy to use) for authentication + rbac + multi-tenancy. We also looked at Warrant and Oso, and …

> The US was created by its citizens. I'm a US citizen, and I love the US and benefit from it, but I certainly didn't create it. That happened long before me -- I just lucked into …

I don't think you're being sarcastic, but this is where web applications are already. You can do this with the browser as the sandbox.

It's very widely used. Most SSO providers are using it, including the biggest ones.

We did the same and it has been great. Their MFA beta is so much simpler too. I do wish they were easier to find...

DOS = denial of service

Thank you for building it! I haven't kicked the tires yet, but as a node developer, this feels like the future: we can move fast with node when it makes sense, and get rust level p…

Not trolling, just very frustrated. But yes a valuable lesson.

Yes, it is our fault for believing Netlify had contingency plans as hosting is their core business. We're fixing this mistake now so that our customers don't have the same experien…

We use(d) Netlify for the frontend. I agree, our mistake was believing Netlify could be used for more than toy websites and took care of backup plans for us. Clearly they do not.

Honestly, "not taking advantage of our DNS management" is a garbage response. We use AWS for our DNS management. If you offer a configuration, you should support it fully. Our site…

We're in the same boat, and when Netlify blames an "upstream provider", what I hear is that they don't have a backup plan. They're giving us plenty of time to research alternatives…

Just wait until you find Userfront, which does the same thing for free until 10k users

I was curious so looked up "all mouth and no trousers". It's corrupted from the expression "all mouth and trousers", and means the same thing!

Amazon (and all the others you've mentioned) have the ability to choose their suppliers. There isn't piss in the Gatorade nor nails in the M&Ms because this is a solved problem: ma…

This would make the payers far less likely to report it, and ultimately make it much harder to track

If you're considering a really low price point like $5/mo, you might be better suited charging businesses more and then having a free tier that's restricted to personal use in some…

There are a LOT of businesses running on thin margins and making just enough to cover costs each month. Even one month of things going to zero will ruin a whole host of restaurants…

I'm always amazed at how few people have read The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. It covers the physics, politics, motivation, cultural implications, and so much more.…
