We did have many technical challenges (as would be expected, really) but that wasn't why it ultimately went away.

This is wildly wrong.

I just want to say thank you to the HN community. We learned a lot in engaging with folks here over the years.

It just really depends on whether the scale/revenue of the acquired is immediately and clearly accretive to the acquirer. WhatsApp and Waze were pretty far along that path (and their prices reflected it!). Younger companies are more vu

lichess.org and the corresponding open source project[1] are really quite something. If you're at all interested in chess or code, I recommend following it -- their great execution will inspire you. [1] https://github.com&#x

Well my current solution works fine. I have an AC87 in each closet. The one with the gear runs in "wireless bridge" mode. I'm attracted to the prosumer Unifi stuff but there doesn't seem to be a simple solution to bridgi

I need as much bandwidth as I can get over a pretty short distance -- let's say 30 feet. I'm bridging two closets at opposite ends of a hallway. One closet has the WAN connection. The other closet has a bunch of hard wire gear (NA

I found them to be slower than my ASUS AC87 in good coverage areas. Improving areas with spotty coverage was nice but outweighed by the speed hit.

I've had bad experiences with other mesh products (Eero, namely) but perhaps.

For those of you well versed in Ubiquiti, what's the recommended approach to connecting two switches that don't have wired backhaul between them? Right now I am using two consumer ASUS routers and one is in "wireless bridge&q

Do they hold the rights to recounting what happened play-by-play without using any images or media from the event? That seems more comparable here.

It's nice to see Google investing in direct responses to the community. If you build a developer product, monitoring HN for criticism and responding is very high ROI. Few companies actually do this.

Normal people didn't care for that functionality so it was deemphasized in favor of different types of search. A lot of it still works, though.

Yeah, I think it can go either way. I've had a few situations in Russia where speaking the language evoked "You idiot. You should know better and let me set you straight." while speaking English evoked "Stupid American.

It might've actually worked out better if he hadn't spoken Russian. Speaking the local language evokes a "who are you to bypass the rules?" sentiment and enables the officers to pass the time hanging out with you. A non-

They probably won't.

I think it's less likely to happen here because Google is investing heavily in building a business around developer services.

This looks cool. Congrats on the launch! Is it a project or a business? Do you intend to make money from hosting? Or something else?

You're typing into their keyboard. What do you expect?

How did he record these step-by-step instructions with such high detail? Is this common practice?

by csmajorfive 11y ago
There is definitely potential but they don't want to make money that way. So, don't expect it. Source: I was driving this internally for a while.

This is all very standard for a VIP visit and the president of Indonesia was at Facebook and Twitter today. So there's probably a simpler, less exciting explanation here.

That's just not true. Most reasonably mature apps were running code on our servers via Cloud Code. And it's hardly genius or a trick to have thick client SDKs.

Fosco, you're doing a great job with this. Thanks for continuing to work so hard to help Parse developers.

We had a product called Cloud Code that was similar to Node (albeit way more limited) so you could run stuff on the server.

No, I don't think we ever did.

It would be pretty strange to tell the IRS that he's discounting the transfers 40% after publicly stating "we receive no tax benefit from transferring our shares." If you believe in the government's ability to allocate m

The same is true if he donates the shares directly without going through an LLC.
