Very cool, I love how this is an end to end FBA business with (it sounds like) very little upfront cost. Is getting the 2 day shipping a function of just price of the item or something else? I wonder because the most direct competitor http

In the past Snapchat has just used Amazon for fulfillment and sales of physical products https://www.amazon.com/Snapchat-Inc/pages/10660293011 In terms of "hardware" Spectacles are almost a textbook exam

Its concerning to see Modafinil on the same list of "defaults" as caffeine and vitamin D. They are on a different scale when it comes to the effect on your brain. That aside, my anecdotal experience of mod is its basically a waste

+1 on just using the CLI but could also use STS to generate a token with a locked down policy client side and the risk of proxying would be much smaller

The difference here is the "grant full access" screen was never shown to users. That shouldn't be possible and speculation is that either the app somehow hijacked past the screen, or Niantic being an ex-google company was whi

So how does this work for apartments? Normally apartments dont bother as the homeowners get almost no benefit (small roof relative to the power usage), and net metering shared solar panels is tricky, way to tricky for a utility to care. So

It's weird the article conflates "tech" with startups. Within the next few years Facebook, Google will have huge headquarters (currently under construction or planning) right next to Amazon's collection of buildings in S

AWS dont attempt to do anycast, which is annoying but also means this can't happen

That's for first response ops though, what if a code change is needed to recover or something else that goes beyond the playbooks? I guess today is a perfect example, I wonder how many out of hours engineers got paged.

Not across multiple regions though. It's not trivial to make an application cross region but at least there is a way to engineer around an outage, unlike this outage

Got a good example of this? Every policy I've seen relating to reducing emissions involves higher taxes and redistribution of wealth by a bigger government. Environmentally friendly legislation can be a bit more diverse but that doesn&

Great piece of fiction, it feels like the author works at Facebook or knows someone who does though. That said, what's described could possibly be done with existing technology . Could Facebook accurately move forward statements like &

Would love to be a fly on the wall when Amazon decided on this, it's pretty much opposite the leadership principles which are essentially a religion for the people who make decisions like this.

As others have said most of this already exists for example in markets like Australia, the problem for the author is none of it actually makes solar etc work any better. Voters dislike high electricity prices but they absolutely hate power

So, I'm dubious about anyones ability to actually see a tipping point in advance, but if this is the case how do software engineers (as opposed to founders etc) protect themselves?

Super conspiracy theory but I wonder if Sacks saw this coming from a mile out. From Paypal he has heaps of experience with what puts you on a regulators radar. Maybe he saw a naive CEO who would land in trouble soon enough. Zenefits is a we

Very true, although chrome has recently updated to use the new iOS web view and it's much nicer. Chrome does need a lot of work on OS X but I'm too locked into things like devtools at this point

I bet putting my phone in airplane mode would save battery too.. That said its another reason why it was smart to split out messenger. If I had to chose between text and calls or messenger I would have to pick messenger. Facebook I can take

Mark your calendars for the same outrage with the electricity grid in 10 years or so. I.e. "Life support users die after cloudy day". Subsidizing inefficient and unreliable energy will put us in the same hole as water infrastructu

Exactly. Once the government takes responsibility for something society will never let them take it away. Basic income with no other welfare might be plausible, Basic income on top of all the existing welfare is a socialist dream

One reason why it might be much higher in the US is the prevalence of swipe and sign. In Australia signatures are no longer allowed and essentially all transactions are chip and pin (or tap if its under $100). This basically eliminates in s
