Mostly agreed. The only real hope is to more substantially disrupt the ISP market.

I'm the founder of ZeroTier and just saw this article. I've spoken to Bob a few times in the past and while we appreciate the mention there wasn't any coordination. (We'd have timed it to not be right before a holiday. :

I agree that reducing barriers is better, but in the USA it's unworkable. It requires haggling with a patchwork of thousands and thousands of state, county, and city governments and even things like homeowners' associations. Telec

There's a core misunderstanding around net neutrality. People see it as business-stifling regulation and its removal as deregulation. This is simply false. All last mile ISPs and wireless carriers are state-enforced oligopolies or mono

This feels a lot like a submarine ad. Also if this guy thinks he's going to escape silos by putting everything in the cloud, he's quite mistaken. The cloud is just code running somewhere else. It does not change fundamental comput

Look at what ISPs do in Portugal, which lacks any kind of net neutrality. They are already trying to bundle sites and protocols like cable channels. It's not far fetched at all.

It's financial capitalist ideology. They're actually investing in capital to actually do things in real three-dimensional reality. That's bad business. You're supposed to liquidate, outsource, arbitrage, make money off c

Don't forget about the cloud oligopolies... "Amazon EC2 and S3 now include prioritized traffic to the network edge through Amazon's deals with over a hundred local and regional ISPs. Just add traffic priority to any elastic I

A good way to get the right wingers might be to ask them what happens when their ISP blocks "hate speech" (as they or someone else defines it) or political speech that falls far outside well established political views. This is ac

Customer focus is pretty easy to misinterpret as "snow over the customer to sell them in the short term so you can flip it to dumb investors." It's also sometimes a bit more honest in the sense that a lot of these biz-school

I really love this rant. When I was younger I had lots of run-ins with "hustler" bullshitter types in business. Some of them were extremely negative. Eventually I learned how to identify and categorically dismiss not only these ty

This isn't saying Mars has no water. They've found that one particular instance of what they thought was liquid water turns out to not be, but there is tons of evidence for water ice and possibly deep sub-surface briny water. Mars

At least you might be able to get a chip without a backdoor in hardware. Binary blobs are still a little easier to audit and can in theory be replaced.

Yep. "Let's put a chip in it" IoT nightmare now applies recursively to chips. Everything is insecure by design. I am really looking forward for either ARM to displace x64 or even better RISC-V. With ARM you have many more ven

I wouldn't put it that way. The problem is that a ton of the stuff impinging on us is not knowledge. It's propaganda, fluff, stupid memes, click bait, and systems with interfaces designed to be addictive and to act like Skinner bo

Where are you? If you are a solo founder I highly recommend co-working spaces that have other entrepreneurs. Doesn't feel solo anymore. If you are in Orange County CA check out this place: http://peoplespace.us We (ZeroTier

If this is true and not just rumors, my guess would be that it's political. SV tends to lean left or left-libertarian.

As an older programmer I'd recommend getting into a more specialized area that isn't so faddish: systems programming, machine learning, high performance compute, networking, crypto, really advanced devops, computer vision, etc. Ta

Here's an idea: we should have a section for off-topic stuff like Ask and Show. That can include naked politics, entertainment, etc. There should still be standards, but the standard should be a combination of interesting, relevant, we

The open web, open OSes, open in general. We (average HN users) use these things but most people use walled garden platforms all the time. For non techies the trend is that way. Computing market seems to be bisecting into pro and consumer.

It's huge in prototyping and is being used to build parts that can't be made any other way. Just never took off for personal use.

Three things are killing it: It is exponentially harder to finance a few huge super costly projects than loads of small ones. It has a high "PITA factor." That stands for pain in the you know what. A high PITA factor means there i
