This is written in the style of someone who worships software development, but is not themselves a professional developer and therefore has spent zero time working on a team to build something more complex than, say, a webpage. I recognize

Maybe, or maybe the law will be scoped narrowly via the bench.

IMO this is a larger indictment of our clearance granting process than it is our handling of UFOs…

I joined in '09 and I think I've changed pretty substantially, so the idea that this or any website would lock-in to a particular viewpoint isn't realistic IMO. And you're being awfully reasonable now, once we'v

But that's a fundamentally different view than "All VC funding is bad"; there are tons of risks involved and many actors aren't good in every industry, why specifically does venture capital draw your ire?

How does the thing that enables society also destroy it?

I am so curious why you repeatedly spit in the collective face of the millions of small business owners in the US and around the world. If what you say were true, the world would exist as a series of 3-5 megacorps, and small businesses wo

All commenting is attention seeking, my question was: why do it antagonistically like this? And further, why go on a (holy) mission to convince people funding companies is bad? That's a weird windmill to tilt at...

> My new heuristic is that I avoid every single company that raises venture funding. This is not what curiosity looks like, is my point.

Honest question: why are you on a site whose community is literally created and run by a startup accelerator? It's a given you realize how antagonistic you're being here, so I guess my only other question is why seek attention lik

My impression is that when fly.io has been discussed in the recent past on HN, its founders/employees/whatever swarm the comments to try and control the conversation, heh.

The N+1 problem feels a bit like y2k in my experience; would definitely be a problem if smart folks didn’t come up with clever solutions, but since they did it’s not nearly the issue it’s made out to be for the average implementer.

This is helpful, thanks! By "boring", I see that as a good thing; you want auth to be boring, is my point. Intellectually stimulating it is in any event (I enjoy learning systems), but I want the process to be me learning how i

As a startup, I very much do not want to innovate or be in any way "creative" when implementing functionality that isn't my company's core value prop for customers. So for something like AuthZ I want to be as conformi

by Zetice 3y ago
As someone who's had to implement these things for our B2B SaaS, I will say it's been a lot less clear how to be as minimally innovative as possible when trying to weave in AuthZ into our product than it is to avoid innovation in

They don't; it's like a whole big thing in city planning and urban development where people who work in the city don't actually live there and have to commute huge distances each day, and how that has a profound negative impa

Eh, you'd be surprised how much being able to walk to things, and generally being in a major international city improves your quality of life if that's the kind of thing you prefer...

I know you won't get this so long as you're frustrated, but there's some real irony in this comment. Maybe in a few weeks come back and reread this to find it.

Of all the things humans participate in to try and forget we eventually die, rejecting the one thing that makes humans special (our society, culture) seems to be to be among the most myopic viewpoints to take. Mostly because it's so se

This article is not written as a way to explain to the world the fact that California will begin backing intentional burns, it's written to explain why that wasn't already the case from a historical perspective.

Did it make you feel good to write that? Cathartic? I hope so, because otherwise it was a useless thing to write, as that's not up to you.

Funny you mention fish; there’s no such thing! So is a cigarette a fish? Might as well be. [0] You have quoted the fact, which is the definition of the Gish gallop. Your opinion is that it does not apply here, and I disagree. You do not

Isn't that the question, whether or not what he's doing is a "specious debate tactic"? You saying "when it's not" begs the question. It is , in my opinion. You can disagree, but your disagreement is no

Hey, a comment that wasn’t a mile long. And I notice you just made my point towards me, so I guess you agree then. Good!

No, I and others in HN are aware that one form of trolling involves wasting someone’s time repeating marginally relevant points. Maybe if the user didn’t need to create a brand new account to make their point, I’d be more receptive.

Your timeline is off. The time period where people here are claiming YT has gotten worse is after all of those things happened, and even if it were right, why would YT even care to stay relevant for the niche needs of some individuals, w
