Why? Is there an alternative? Considering opportunity cost in which parts of my entrepreneurial endeavors I choose to spend time on; self hosting web-servers for a blog does not have anything resembling good ROI.

Yep. Again, the nuance of this point is lost on the "homelab" crowd, but if you're in a software business, your software is what your business is. Not running a monitoring platform, not running a logging system, not build

Yea reading HN comments gives me the impression most of the readership has never had to manage anything of complexity beyond their "homelab".

I know this utterly misses the larger point of your comment, but: > They used Ansible scripts to spin up various AWS services This seems less about using the "cool/new" tech... rather it's about using the "right&

Jira is bad, but the worst part about it is that it makes it non-trivially more likely you'll also be using Confluence, which is an absolute blight upon the software landscape.

Yes. I have to ruthlessly prune anyone who reposts chaff... which is sadly a non-trivial number of individuals.

Discourse on Blind makes HN look like the Athenian Assembly.

It’s almost as if all the right wing pearl-clutching about “free speech” on Twitter was a bad-faith argument…

Your logic is unfortunately being cast into the reason-devoid abyss of HN commenters consistently overestimating the value of the lone wolf, "competent" Linux admin. Say you don't understand opportunity cost in software devel

Where was the ad-hominem slant? More straw-men and an appeal to authority! I'm convinced you're playing logical fallacy bingo at this point.

Despite the zealous beliefs of the visionary, thought-leader techbro space that Musk's every move was to drive civilization forward in some kind of libertarian, technocrat utopia, it seems very clear at this point every one of these

It was as if millions of twitter trolls with a distorted idea of free speech suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

Worrying about what the comment rabble on HN will "appreciate" is no useful barometer for success in progressing through life.

The idea behind MAD is that anything beyond considering their use in a retaliatory capacity should be fundamentally insane, but that depends on all engagement participants being rational actors, which isn't clearly not guaranteed.

It is possible they were always that susceptible(I suspect they were), someone just needed the means for mass delivery and when it was available(social media) they weaponized it at just the right time.

Well that's terrifying. As a serious cat owner I have to imagine I am riddled with TPG.

> telephone calls Not the same reach. Telephone calls are ostensibly private exchanges between two willing parties. Twitter is much more akin to a "crowded theater" than a telephone call.

Well sure, but in the context of this discussion "bias" implies political.

Are you saying it's more likely hate crimes are being perpetrated by people that identify as progressive?

It's not biased to moderate something like "vaccines cause autism". It's been legally and scientifically established as outright misinformation. The genesis of that theory was a disgraced researcher who pushed fraudulent

I see disproportionate amount of violence/threats from right-leaning personas online. Perhaps that is a factor? Yes, I know it's anecdotal, but the LGBTQ+ community has been the victim of an increasing number of hate crimes(confir

You might be able to run a country that way, but you can't run a tech company that way.
