The issue is not the extensions per se, but the partner revenue. "I'm extremely pleased to announce the extension of our 14-year relationship with Google," said Joey Levin, CEO of IAC. "We've generated nearly $10 b

This was one of those situations where there MUST have been a lot of cash flowing to google - because the IAC business in this space was straight scam behavior. Homepage hijacking and all the usual goodies. For all the highly paid data scie

A lot of folks underestimate what one box can do. Memory / core counts have gone crazy on just one box. Local storage also has gone crazy. 4TB memory on a single node dual CPU machine, CPU's with 32 cores per CPU+? Read only repli

And that's where folks go wrong. NoSQL is not boring tech. As soon as you need to scale, it is MORE likely, not less, that you will end up in a weird state in your app, user enrollment flow etc. NoSQL makes scaling MUCH harder in my vi

Can I ask a quick question - do you have familiarity with corporate treasury type activity at businesses and SAAS businesses? The volume of businesses that will be interested in this is going to be high. Your accounting platform would LOVE

The service bills in ms's, and you are complainting about price for the year? For $66/year and a 3 year commit maybe get a T4g small with 2GB of ram vs .1GB?

Fargate works well especially after they fixed some of the pricing issues there. Then next step you can spin up a fleet of EC2 or EKS or something

They would be willing to do this probably if you let them evict your entire workload from memory during the period you were not paying for it, and then were able to charge you for CPU time and some additional charge to reload workload into

ITER will NOT in any reasonable time frame actually do it, and will not be a commercial success. Talk to someone in physics closer to this. The time scales ITER is operating on are so long term the tech is ancient by the the time they are a

And we know the VAST amounts of cash devoured by SLS and the traditional folks who critiqued SpaceX approach.

I disagree in a small way. Telsa / SpaceX / Elon - focused on ground up physics principals. They said things like, how can we make a better battery pack and will the math then work for a good EV car. They showed to their satisfact

And 7-9 years is a fantastic support lifetime and yes, I know some folks who still use their 9 year old macbooks such as grandparents etc without major issue. You have new android phones that ship with software 1.5 years old and NEVER get u

There is a comment on the article that is spot on - why the hell would you make an electric JET? Especially for lower altitude / shorter hops? It honestly makes no sense. In a prop or turboprop application, the energy is sued to turn a

What I don't understand - Windows 10 Pro comes with tons of pre-installed junk - Candy Crush etc. Just charge what you need to, business don't want this stuff.

It weird, because Apple really has prioritized smooth animations (on iphone 12 at least it really feels VERY smooth). Why not at least match them - they've demonstrated I think reasonably that people value stuff like this. The power of

We do chat, plus a quick audio + screenshare to look at stuff together -> slack has this workflow down. For video calls + possible screen sharing zoom is smooth. Meet is fine, but the flow from chat to a screen share is horrendous becaus

What are you using instead? I keep on getting yelled at the zoom is insecure etc. But actually no one actually wants the waiting rooms and no one is willing to name the alternative that they use that is better. I interact with a hundreds of

We do screensharing + voice call after chatting all the time. With google chat it sends you to the beginning of a google meet flow. Now you have a silly dance to get a meeting going with the person you are working with. In slack you click t

I'd rather school teachers got them so I could stay home and work.

I was going to make nearly this same comment. The productivity of working from home would go WAY up with this, so you could keep higher risk groups from interacting for longer (at least in my household - a kid running around is a MAJOR dist

We don't yet know what the M1 can do with a higher power budget in desktop form. Very surprising though to see they can generate some reasonable seeming performance especially with native apps.

Except the sales numbers for Chromebooks are nuts at least in the education sector I'm in, linux on desktop is basically no where there (so far). Will be interesting if that changes. So there is some kind of boom happening even in thes

If you are on an iphone 12 the difference between native apps (liquid smooth so far in my experience - basically perfect) and flutter apps is striking! Get ready for JANK on iOS. Or maybe just me. Flutter looks cool, but they really should

This type of comment is literally on every post about any business on HN :) Someone was just explaining to me that the reason apple did M1 chips was so they could bake DRAM on to make it hard to upgrade DRAM on the macbook air. Ignore that

What the heck. You don't have to prove private key compromise for a CA to revoke a cert, you just ask them to revoke it. How in the world is this apple's fault? As long as they authenticate the person requesting the revocation. In
