True. Now compare that to the creation of the universe and feel your insignificance of never being able to match it's creation in any form. Try to create the code that creates blades of grass. Good luck creating life. AI for all it&#x2

From the sounds of it, this is limited to US customers? Just going by the mention of social security number which does not exist in other countries like the UK.

Assuming they will have to inform the individuals who's data was actually breached/taken? Or is this basically the entire customer base? In which case that is VERY bad.

Same could be said for every language abstraction or systems layer change. When we stopped programming kernel modules and actually found a workable interface it opened the door to so many more developers. I'm sure at the time there was

Two things. I have revived my work on Go Micro ( https://github.com/micro/go-micro ) and rewritten the v5 cli/api from scratch ( https://github.com/micro/micro ). As a VC funded company there was

And where are we now with that? The Ad centric and big tech nature of it has sort of destroyed a lot of what it was. Fair enough the value is immense but I think there's also a place for something else. Where rather than needing to sta

Something I came across yesterday was OpenCloud. I think with many of these small projects being funded it's not clear there's a cohesive vision of how to reclaim the internet. I mean the browser itself is owned by big tech. I don

Congratulations to anyone who can raise $200m, let alone have the VCs fly around the world to make it happen.

The best you could hope for in these situations is perhaps a job. It's not uncommon to see not just in open source but in business in general that the large player will try to extract business knowledge and reimplement themselves. The

I just wish the whole industry would stop using terms like thinking and reasoning. This is not what's happening. If we could come up with more appropriate terms that don't treat these models like they're human then we'd

Congrats to the tailscale guys. I remember when tailscale was not a networking company. Amazing to see where it's ended up and obviously having bradfitz onboard is useful too. I'm always curious to know what the internals of a com

Microservices was a sort of drop in the bucket point in time moment of 2015-2016 and the term lingers on for a description for what is services development. It's a step change to what SOA was and then Lambda and serverless became the n

Do you have any exposure to venture capital or are you just taking a position on the wording of the post? I didn't name names for a reason. This is about ethics on a broad scale. VC is an industry that has to collaborate and cooperate,

I've operated in the startup space for 20 years and over that time I've seen all sorts of things. You could pin that down to the individuals or the collective firms themselves. I don't think people initially intend to be harm

Wow, how surprising, I had no idea. It opens up all sorts of questions. What do you do? How do you operate in a world like this? I was born into a muslim family but it wasn't until much later in life that I started to understand everyt

Very succinct and powerful words. In Islam we have something called Zakat which is effectively donating 2.5% of your wealth yearly to the most impoverished people. In that you're not looking for a reward in this life but that it's

So basically what you're saying is don't expect more from VC than what it is. Take it at face value and don't try to make it something it's not. I think that makes sense. Then I need to seek out other forms of investing

That's definitely the right name for periodic reminders right. Years ago I wrote an API called remindme which was supposed to provide pings for when you were in proximity to a location and it would remind you if you needed to pay someo

Haven't written a post-mortem but maybe at some point if it felt useful for others. Startups built around open source are generally very hard. About as bad as social consumer products. Both micro.dev and m3o.com are for sale yes.

In between figuring out what to do after a decade of work on Micro ( https://github.com/micro ), I started a new project called Reminder which tries to provide a single clean app and API for the Quran, Hadith and names of All
