Are you serious? The US does not have Hispanic concentration camps. It DOES have a private prison problem, but not death camps.

Why not use KMS for storing keys directly?

Yup. There's simply not enough money consumers are willing to pay anymore. VCs spent untold Billions distorting the worldwide taxi market.

Most founders keep to themselves because they don't want to overpromise. Musk does the total opposite, by tweeting all the random thoughts in his brain and I suspect it mirrors his thinking and the thinking of other founders (Zuck, Pag

You could also argue that they're getting better at building things from scratch by practicing with the mundane stuff. It's not a complete waste.

I'll bite: There's something 'humane' about hunting an animal, rather than it being in captivity birth to plate. T-shirts and mobile phones were never alive so this doesn't strictly apply, but I think everyone could

That's cause Telsa has the culture of Elon, similar to SpaceX. All their success derives from rethinking traditional automakers.

I don't think it's about ageism, but about the pace of technology. Many (if not all?) of the concepts being debated were likely invented after most current judges were born: the internet; HTTP; web scraping; browsers. It's no

If you're interested, Valve uses deep learning model called VACnet to "watch" every player on their servers[0][1]. If any dodgy gameplay is detected, it gets submitted into a moderation queue called Overwatch[2], which is bas

Market competition will force prices down long-term. If they're not, that's a problem and there's probably an anti-trust suit somewhere that needs implementing. Also - investing in stock isn't a bad thing, because it&#x2

The problem with founder culture is companies become dependent on their founders. If Aaron was still around I think Reddit would look very different.

This is really useful stuff. I combined this with a side project of mine to get reply notifications from HN. IFTTT works great also if anyone wants to implement the same.

For anything other than personal projects where messages don't matter much, -m is an anti-patern. Any good commit message should have at least a paragraph explaining the rationale, functional change and maybe links to design docs or bu

+1. I was against GDPR explicitly because it was obvious something like the Copyright Directive would be next and now the EU is literally ending online freedom of speech.

I reckon you could pull my project off with IFTTT. The big differentiator would ideally be the fact that this would be a product geared towards content consumption and that lifecycle (ingest, filter, consume), rather than just general purpo

I suspect I know why you're being downvoted... WHO say there is no evidence that asymptomatic carriers can spread the virus, and if you have the disease, people should stay indoors. Therefore the mask is redundant. But wait, the CDC re
