Arguably, that milestone hasn't been reached for rideshare apps in general, even ones that use real drivers!

I don't know about you, but the existence of Uber has increased my quality of life. Also, just the decrease in drunk-driving accidents that easy access to rides has brought about is worth a lot. It's easy to see the value Uber has

I guess we're ruling out that GE might not have done a great job building a sw platform, and moving straight to "it can't be done, nobody can do it". (Disclaimer: founder of horizontal IIoT startup, scaling just fine)

Dodged a bullet there. I just cannot see how Immelt, whose claim to fame is putting billions into GE Digital (search for previous HN conversations of GE's software efforts for if you want to laugh/cry) would have been any use to a

Couldn't finish this. It started off badly by calling the hyperloop "vacuum-powered". First, it's not even vacuum sealed (just low air pressure), and second, how can something even be powered by the vacuum? Are we just t

To go one step further, who says inventing a better currency shouldn't be worth 3x as much as creating e.g. walmart or microsoft? Sounds exactly like the sort of civilisational step forward that should be rewarded handily. Remember, we

I think keeping all the data in one place has been one of the smartest things we did. If we'd been crazy enough to give each microservice its own persistence, we'd be neck deep in chaos by now. It only happened for one service due

We started resin.io with a microservices architecture from day one, and we are still happy with the result. It was very painful to get it up and running, but once that was over, we were good to go. The boundaries we defined early on are sti

At resin.io we keep looking for a solid arm host, as we are currently emulating a ton of arm builds on x86. I guess our use case is somewhat unique, but we still haven't found something that works for us.

Hey there -- resin.io founder here. Resin is indeed starting with our hosted service, but we have committed to, and are making decent progress towards, building a completely open source platform. If you need pure OTA, mender is a great solu
