@dang/mods, can this be re-titled? The original title is somewhat inflammatory ("Tell HN: Amazon Cloud Drive is banning encrypted content and backup data") and not strictly accurate. I suspect that's why it was flagged o

Looks like only Drive. Presumably they priced Drive based on being able to de-duplicate incoming data. Glacier is a fancy tape drive robot as a service; they're much more concerned with access frequency than data volume.

You'll inevitably run into tons of insufficiencies, edge cases, etc. but this is a _fantastic_ idea. My wife and I have scrubbed through lists for arguably one of the easier and more common linguistic-cultural pairings and they're

https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/cloud_sync lists a bunch of other backend service providers in addition to Amazon Drive. From my experience, Backblaze is dirt cheap; I moved all my personal backups

I agree that automation would help out here--could you just hit Readwise's 'sync' page with `curl` and a cronjob?

Separately, I suspect people that don't want to have to customize every aspect of their editing experience are almost by definition not emacs users :P

Totally anecdotal: I've been an org-mode user for years, and have spent some time using RoamResearch directly as my primary notetaking tool. I _still_ haven't figured out how to use org-agenda properly, and it feels like I'm

I would pay for this as an individual. Competent organizations would pay for this in bulk.

A pretty familiar HN trope is calling in the Tech Billionaire Ex Machina to solve the world's problems. Most of the time this feels like myopic hero-worship ("why doesn't Zuck just fix free speech?"). In this case, thoug

My recollection (can someone verify?) is that Telegram continues to function in limited-connectivity environments, making it a good fit for situations where a state actor is limiting network access.

The framing that I’ve typically seen (from a Western, US-based background) is that the Tsar Bomba was the quintessence of the USSR’s overcompensation for their relatively inferior delivery systems. Bluntly, it doesn’t matter if you’re a mil

If you wanted to keep this off your local box, you could create a separate pinboard.in account, pay for their archival service, and script your browser to pin every URL you hit.

As I recall, he and Shelly both composed these in a personal competition, which Smith immediately conceded on seeing the other version.

Amex has customer service at least an order of magnitude better than any Visa/MC licensee I’ve dealt with; that’s really what you’re paying for. If something goes wrong with a purchase, they’ll tend to make it right without asking many

This is illustrative of how having a bias pointed out can be perceived as a threat, and responded to in kind.

> Some people are skittish about the idea of punsihment. But it's abhorrent to our sense of justice that one suffer no consequences after committing a crime. I suspect this is the majority view, but it’s not universal. I’m pointing

TFA, being in Wired, appears to be focused primarily on the tech industry. At the risk of being pithy, the best way to get a promotion in tech has--for a _long_ time--been to get a new job. Even if you do score an in-house title bump, your

My emotion-driven reaction here (“ha! They’d run out of lies from side A before scratching the surface with side B!”) is _exactly_ why trying something like this would be a good move.

For those missing the context, Twitter didn’t actually remove or censor anything; they added a small call-out next to a politically motivated tweet. Trump responded in an aggressive manner that can be perceived as threatening. That’s one di

As much as this might be an impossible sell, I’m inclined to agree. Strongly suspect Baroque Cycle would actually be more watchable than it was readable. I got through the series and it was well worth the slog, but that was at a time in my

It is indeed, but within the context of this overall discussion, note that BeOrg doesn’t support SyncThing. There isn’t an alternative for that particular user case without dual-syncing with another sync provider. Best I can tell, there ar

And of course, if the tinfoil hat mentality is appealing, why not one actor spamming comments for _both_ sides? If said actor prefers one position they can just have a an order-of-magnitude difference in what they submitted; either way, sai

From TFA: "Their families deserve more than thoughts and prayers. Canadians deserve more than thoughts and prayers." It feels, these days, as though Canada and Germany are the only remaining functional liberal democracies. Somethi

The average consumer spends over $150 a year to not think about their router. Don't get me wrong, I hate on the big ISPs as much as the next guy, but this is pretty far down the list of their worst behavior.

If they're specced to be (military, aerospace), sure. But the move from vacuum tubes to transistors, for all its incredible advantages, made everything a lot more EM vulnerable.

I am being incredibly reductive in terms of how much effort is needed to position yourself for this successfully and sustainably, but: your friend can get that schedule by going freelance and moving towards a consultancy model. Consulting c

Somewhat cynical take: because the West doesn’t have superiority in this space.
