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 groups - i.e. it's the highest quality uncurated sourc

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 aggregate, I need to rely upon the track record of the

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 flip and eat your margins like a giant Pareto Pacman.

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 protected. Healthcare is full of artificially induced shortages

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 about the threat model. Engineers at the compa

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 control Unix has. I like it.

Does this field behave differently from Q in some 'useful' way?

Haha, brilliant. If I may write the first paragraph: > Facebook has quietly marked Considered Harmful articles problematic, and that's a good thing. > When I was a child, my father often took me fishing as a way for us to get

Doesn't really apply to the situation being discussed. You can absolutely wear it for two weeks during the fires. It will work just fine even well sealed. Not sufficient particulate matter in the air to be significant blocker.

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 having this reserve we would just be 720k short. It&

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 their military effectiveness. Fine, go ahead

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't useful to you. Just don't pay me.

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. Correctly, in my opinio

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.

Just want to say that I always see you post on ad-tech related stuff and your comments belong to the infinitesimal fraction of ad-tech stuff on this site that is informed and not just the result of pure speculation.

Haha, right. That comment had literally zero information value. Obviously playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is nothing like ollying your skateboard let alone any of the other tricks. Thinly veiled attempt to use online comment forum as a perso

Their bread and butter is search ads, my dude. They don't need telemetry for that. They have search keywords. Almost all of their revenue comes from there and the margin there is huge.

Hey I've noticed this too. It's like I'm mentally somewhere else. Very odd. Fortunately, when I drive long distances I have other people in the car. And when I drive short distances, I can just stop wherever and change things

Oh there's a subreddit where they met where they'd say that all the time. Don't know if it's still up.

My friends will come over for 4 hours on a Sunday. I will spend no more than 10 minutes when they're here figuring out controllers. I will spend no more than 15 minutes at any point ahead of time to keep things working. When they come

That's just bureaucracy in the West. I have contacts in the East who got me Lariago-DS. Super cheap to manufacture, super compact, easy to ship. In fact, it's in plentiful supply. Just not in the West because you have a customs wa
