I mean, isn't that half of what AWS sells?

That is a rather simplistic view of it

Love what you folks do. Keep up the hard work!

I don't really understand the worry here though. Aren't you always trusting your registrar when you buy a domain name? Google at least has a pretty solid track recordin wrt security.

Funny to think that this is just one of the many reasons not to use Uber.

It's Facebook. Are you surprised in the least?

So what is your twitter? Edit: I found it. So far it's just a bunch of rambling about how you lost your job for saying something that people percieved as bigoted. What did you say? It doesn't seem like what you're doing is wo

Isn't this common throughout the industry? I love to bash on Amazon as much as the next HN'er, but is this really news?

Yeah. It's not that hard to move companies as a non-citizen. It's more difficult than a citizen, sure. But I agree with the poster above that I have many many friends who have done exactly this.

As long as they continue paying folks boatloads of money, they'll continue working there.

It always seems odd that huge tech giants like this lay off certain sectors. Are they dumping them because they don't have anywhere else that they'd be useful to Apple? Surely recruiting is harder than moving someone laterally in

Does anybody really believe that China is upholding strong ethical standards here? Sure the uni dumped this guy, but I'd assume there is a large project that the government is at minimum aware of to edit genes.

That's a huge advantage. Counting cards in blackjack gives a 50.5:49.5 edge (roughly, there are variables). 77% is absolutely crushing it.

> far and away higher quality than streaming of any type Absolutely. Blu-Ray usually have ~18-25GB of raw video for a standard 2 hour 1080p film. It's usually actually more because of the container format but the actual video itself

Was anyone actually paying $7.99 though?

And it might be fine at those companies. But I don't exactly expect the highest quality and reliability from Adobe, eBay, etc.

"Bookmark our messenger app/news service to receive realtime alerts which are configurable." I think you're being cynical to assume that everything coming over web push notifications is spam. I agree that there is lots

While I agree that abuse is a problem with push notifications in general, I don't think this is a bad thing. I don't want to install a desktop app for something like facebook messenger. I wouldn't hate getting notifications f

Almost all of it eventually gets cracked. But these days Denuvo is enough to prevent the game from going up within a week or two, which is when a majority of sales are. Console piracy is effectively dead. I'm not saying that DRM is a

PS4 and Switch both have kernel level hacks which have allowed folks to boot pirated copies of games. But for the most part, I'd say that yeah priacy is effectively dead. The ease of hacking the consoles and running pirated games isn&#

Amazon Game Studios is. I know they are a joke in the gaming world, but at least they pay people what they are worth. As does Valve.

by cheeze 8y ago
Yeah, but framing this as an issue in the gaming industry is disingenuous. A lack of unionization is a problem in programming in general, not just video games.

> The two wines were actually the same white wine as before, but one was dyed with tasteless red food coloring Yes, Oenologists assumed that the wine which was red was actually... red wine. This study is always quoted and is a sham IMO.

I think this is a straw man, since a majority of audiophiles will tell you that a 1000 dollar HDMI cable is stupid. nobody actually buys that shit. What does matter is getting a decent HDMI cable. I'm going to get a braided cable whi

I do agree. I think it has to do with the fact that most motherboards have pretty terrible analog audio support. Every motherboard I've ever had has sounded meh compared to a cheap USB DAC. It would be super interesting to compare an i
