   I can't find the article anymore, but a few weeks ago here on HN there was a piece where somebody did a few calculations on how AWS US-East-1 (the most used AWS region in the world) works, and got to the conclusion that all the things

   I'm a bit doubting about this feature: "Share the app with people nearby without internet access" Hey fellow protester, here is a binary for you to install on your device. That doesn't sound dangerous, right?

   This sounds a lot like Athens Research[1] vs Roam Research[2]. Jeff Tang wanted to get a job at Roam so he built a toy open source version for themselves, and then continued and it's now a YC company [3] [1]: https://www.ath

   one year they do, the other they don't (last year they didn't). I wouldn't claim Apple has learned the lesson until they do it for 2-3 years in a row

   GP isn't mentioning lifecycle to change storage tier, but to delete the files after some time.

    Yes, i agree with you. Which is why I personally never bother checking the codes in person because I just trust WhatsApp

    There's one thing that I don't understand about checking keys in person. Since it's closed source, how do we know that WhatsApp is actually doing what they say they do? You have to trust them that "if the keys are the sa

    I thought the same of my Fujifilm X100F.. and it's mostly staying at home while I go around. I just don't think about it enough. Whereas my phone is always in my pocket. Mind that I have an Android phone with a subpar camera, and

    And why does that need to be synchronous? Why can't it be done with a check-in on slack / basecamp / whatever you use?

    One of the major concerns that I've seen arising around here is the question "what's stopping Apple from doing this even without iCloud?". Once you open Pandora's Box, there is not going back.

    There are several machines required to make a chip, and many steps involved. Those machines are crazy complex and accurate (i remember having a precision of around 3 atoms of silicon, femtometer scale). I meant firmware fot these machines,

    For those companies involved in semiconductor industry, where machines cost 100M usd EACH... People are just a rounding error. Should we hire 100 more? 1000 more? Whatever

    Or working with a 40M Loc codebase started in the 80s with 50% code duplication. Because it's so mission critical that nobody really touches existing code. Or that everything needs to be rubber-stamped by a ton of people and even a ren

    I think we should invest way more in trains. They are basically long electric trucks that don't have to bring their batteries with them. All its advantages, with the disadvantage of being on a REALLY fixed route. We should only do last

    You might also be interested in Nextjournal, it's in clojure (whose notation you should be familiar). (check also https://github.nextjournal.com for a quick test from github code)

    Shameless plug, but with Nextjournal you can use git directly: https://github.nextjournal.com/ And apart from that, we have a normal github component to load your code from a github repository: https://nextjourna

    This is the reason why i got some Wired Bose Soundsport, and I had to get the lime green ones because they don't make it anymore. No wireless for me.
