Did you actually use all the cloud vendors before making this comment? GCP lets you set a max instant count in Cloud Run. It’s in the first screen of setting up a service. It really doesn’t get much simpler than that.

I mean, embedding data into html looks bad, but is it really worse than loading a script separately? This is basically the "bundling" on the HTML layer, i.e., what HTTP/2 should offer. For a website like Airbnb, 1.9M for to

It is one layer above IPv6, but what difference does that make? It's an improvement over an existing protocol to solve real problems. I don't think anyone can really know the OSI model. I know I frequently use HTTP as a Transp

How is this charity? Isn't "the poorest among us have some basic level of livelihood" exactly justice, and exactly the job of a government? Please don't use this kind of argument to turn HN into reddit.

Proof by analogy is fraud. You should know better. If you really want to go down this path -- a broken clock is correct twice, as two discrete points in a continuous time space. The act of looking at the clock is analogous to sampling one d

How does Snowden have anything to do with a collaboration between Google and Hashicorp? You say this is not tinfoilism, but the tinfoil in this one is strong.

Tinfoilism does not help anything. This is a genuine collaboration effort by two of the players whose services many people are already using together, and they are making that experience better for their users. The kind of dismissiveness an

But I indeed talked about your “fundamental rejection” here: as I explained in the first half of my comment, no special treatment is given for Facebook, at all. The fact that they happen to be a “evil megacorp” should not change this at all
