Comments like these are why I'm excited about the no-code movement. So much of the past decade of tech hasn't resulted in anything tangibly better or different. It's the same mundane ideas rewritten with ever-more-complex too

Yes, but currently only for their own usage from external devices or TVs that run Roku TV. They don't sell nor license the data.

ACR sourced data sells like hot cakes in the alternative data world. You can literally know what an individual (“anonymized”) person watches and when.

There's a 6.2% federal tax for a government-backed pension (social security) that may or may not be around by the time people need it. Most Americans are responsible for their own retirement funding, usually via an employer sponsored p

Has anyone considered IFTTT may be using the reddit accounts for comment vote manipulation? It obtains full scope oauth permissions that last indefinitely.

HN is always subject to astroturfing, it's just generally managed by YC directly. Ensuring positive opinion and adoption of their investments while keeping the competition soundly off the radar.

There's a lot to complain about modern web bloat but this is, absolutely, not one of the things to complain about.

It’d be nice if they restricted sponsored ads from all the fraudulent third-party sellers.

It’s incredible to me how so many people blindly trust Cloudflare to manage their SSL termination while building the apps and platforms that’ll power the next generation of online everything.

We use authorized_keys and that file is managed by ansible across our servers. Adding/removing users consists of updating a yaml file (list of tuples {username, public key, status}) and running the playbook.

Their product looks like Rally but with a Material Design template. So we get another SaaS that enables management to constantly hound engineers to break projects down into sprints, tasks, and assigning complete arbitrary point estimates so

fwiw, I have the opposite experience with JSON files and sublime vs. vscode. Sublime opens fast and seamless, VSCode basically ceases to operate while it struggles to figure out syntax highlighting of such a "massive" file. I have

PPP funds were designed for that (60% to payroll, 40% to rent/utils). However, they only provided ~2.5 months of coverage, and we're well beyond that.

I love how the justification of numerous AWS services is always "so it can scale" but if and when that scale ever happens, a new architecture is necessary because the costs become untenable.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people around these parts who have arrived at the conclusion that the only way to build software today is using all those services and more (I mean, where's kubernetes in that stack?). They will aggress

There was never an actual ban for WeChat coming. It was just so they could point to WeChat and say "See, the ban wasn't entirely to force the sale of TikTok but one of protecting national interest!"

Yeah, S3 is frankly a disaster. People use it like a filesystem and if you have billions of objects, it very quickly becomes a nightmare to manage. Size of data is a complete non-issue, it's all about the number of objects.

Their biggest issue was letting someone who didn't know a thing about S3 dictate the rules. Revoke all access to bucket ~= everything is deleted. Then they could set a lifecycle rule, wait a day, and it would be gone for real.
