> A very small % of total work. That seems valid in today's world. Right now it's expensive, slow, and accurate. I imagine in the fairly near future it will be cheap, slow, and accurate, and that'll be a great opportunity

The savings can be a lot more than 20% - last month I had a roundtrip ticket of $2000 brought down to $1300 (and got there faster!) via the switching airlines approach. It did come with some additional stress - needed additional visas and w

Used to do this job once upon a time - can't overstate the importance of just being knee-deep in the data all day long. If you outsource that to somebody else, you'll miss out on all the pattern-matching eureka moments, and will n

The controversy around this one was always wild to me. Mods editing comments was the most standard behavior on every phpbb/vb board I grew up on. His edits were clearly edited, clearly jokes, and TBH I found them pretty funny. And peop

For lots of companies, 'increasing their margin' refers to increasing their margin from < 0 to > 0. That would be my charitable reading of parent post, and does anybody believe that Bandcamp was profitable?

I mean I have a yahoo chess account with a password of like abc123, that's not the point. Your HN password doesn't provide access to your money, never mind other people's money.

That's the point. In a distributed world, the domain registrar doesn't get to determine who gets a domain and who doesn't. If one registrar doesn't want to work with you, you can work with another. This isn't some h

You're working under an inaccurate mental model of the web...or at least how the web used to be. The OG model here is one of decentralization. In this model, the registrar (Google) isn't the owner of the domain. They're jus

The WebSub spec recommends this approach, and I've implemented it, and I really would recommend against doing this. It adds a tremendous amount of complexity to all of your services, where now all of your services will need to maintain

Disclaimer - used to work at Twitch. The policy may make Twitch look stupid, but it's for a pretty good reason - people would get banned, and then just play multiplayer (with voice or even video chat) with their friends who were also s

Oversimplifying, but an unsubscribe link is a legal requirement under many different laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL) for this sort of email. It's 2022, unsubscribe links are a solved problem, I'm not going to assume good intentions fo

Huh, I didn't expect to come across something I have such direct knowledge of. I used to work with this data directly - I worked with MACPAC to prepare reports for the CBO on the efficacy of pay-per-performance programs, especially as

Afterpay has been a godsend for my girlfriend's (brick-and-mortar) business, which is in niche luxury items (keeping it vague). Customers love using Afterpay, they search on Afterpay for products they want, and are redirected to her

If Oracle wins against Google, presumably DocumentDB would be infringing in the same manner, as DocumentDB also is a drop-in replacement adhering to the same API.

The situations are in no way analogous. CA gathered data on users who did not opt in. They paid 270k users to take a quiz, and gathered information on 87MM of their Facebook friends who never consented to sharing their information.

Having done it both ways this would not be my recommendation unless it's necessary - I think it adds a fair amount of complexity. Some considerations: you'll need some sort of storage mechanism for these flags - is that a centrali

Honestly it's not a bad idea. Erlang is not a language that is easy for an experienced engineer to pick up and quickly create maintainable code.

Hmmm...former skydiver here, not sure your point is accurate. I don't understand why increasing your forward momentum from tracking would decrease your fall rate. I think your assumption that drag will slow you to 120mph is inaccurate

This is incorrect. From their post - they beat OG at 17 heroes in the pool. At 25 heroes in the pool they max'd at ~5k.

There's a line between puff-up marketing and being actively misleading and OpenAI continually crosses it. With only 25 heroes allowed (of > 100) they were unable to get >5k MMR...nowhere near pro level. What are they at with the

Why are you comparing the SF bay area to the city limits of New York? Better would be to compare SF bay area to New York Metro Area, which is far bigger than the SF bay area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_metro

Sorry, should've been more specific - looking for the same sort of 'provide a container and we take care of everything else' experience, but ideally for a cheaper price. I know I could get a micro instance and set up ECS on i
