I had a very similar experience. Is there any cheaper option than just using aws SES nowadays ? (for outbound only! don't understand why people would pay the same rate for inbound) My concern is what happens when aws decides to massive

Sry Moxie, you lost my trust when you temporarily took the signal codebase closed source to integrate some cryptocurrency scams into it. Now your criticism just sounds like whining about a more successful competitor. Why is Telegram winning

I used Google Authenticator some years ago on a phone that broke. At the time I was unable to restore it to my new phone. The proposed solution used to be to authenticate multiple devices (phones with Authenticator, Yubikeys) but to this da

First to get this out of the way: I fully sympathize and hope some hn user with privileges at facebook can escalate this to the appropriate people to quickly get it resolved. This isn’t the first post of this kind. What is new however is,

I‘m sorry for You. I can see how you‘d think that your software is providing society a service. And yet from my perspective your software is malware. I don’t think you have considered the legal ramifications of your software in all markets

There is quite a lot of land within the arctic circle. If it continues to warm up it will become more conductive to human settlements and agriculture. hn is a place where most people see the upsides of change, I don’t understand why so few

The arctic is too damn cold anyways. It’s great if we can finally go there without freezing to death.

Not only are they forcing the unvaccinated to get the shot, they are also forcing everyone who is fully vaccinated to get booster shots every 6 months for the indefinite future. When the vaccines were first introduced their validity was fix

That is my understanding from german cartel law (very similar)as well. However how do you structure a deal to take retroactive actions by regulators into account. I don’t know if there is a set of established best practices there, but I‘m n

How does such a retroactive block work ? I imagine Meta executives have already taken over the reigns and directed the company towards full integration with facebooks other services. If Giphy had had a project in the works that could disrup

The instance failed at mere DOZENS of simultaneous users. Clients kept retrying and then there were thousands of requests of users who were unable to interact with the instance. I went though the logs in detail. It was a clusterfuck.

Wow, this is beyond ridiculous. This is the NGO I was involved with. It did not scale to 30,000 it failed miserably at merely dozens of simultaneous Users. The linked Video is the Exec who took responsibility for ordering Polis trying his b

The question is why your consulting services are necessary in the first place. Most Open Source Projects I know can be set up by anyone who is competent in the underlying technology. You explicitly warn people that they will be unable to se

In 2018 I was involved with an NGO that planned on using Polis in their work. They contacted the maintainers who recommended contracting an agency which had experience with Polis as many of the core developers worked there. The NGO did just

It may be, that the legal issues, surrounding (commercial) YouTube Video production, require getting the explicit consent of the subjects. But this has quite a disturbing effect on the very meaning of what we consider Street Photography to

Worthless study. They categorize all time spend in social media as „socializing“ even though tiktok,facebook,and instagram serve up a lot of video content that is consumed passively. Instead of asking participants, what type of media they c

Well if it’s bullshit you should have no trouble providing a counter example. There are tens of thousands of adults learning the rules of chess each and every day. Is there any Grandmaster among them ? I have worked with adults and children

Even if you’re willing to devote 10 years of your life to chess you will not become a grandmaster unless you’re starting out as a child. You might be some kind of Ramanujan level chess prodigy, but those are rare these days and in any case

Correcting a model is always a somewhat subjective process that can introduce bias, especially when it is done after the study is completed pre-publication. I am not at all opposed to such adjustments and I was actually involved in a resea

Not at all. But since the time this was published many people have been vaccinated and we have a lot of data that the researchers didn’t have at the time of publication. The Speculation in the article, while totally valid at the time, shoul
