I wish I engaged in Silicon Valley and venture-backed startup culture sooner. If I had, my first startup might've had a better chance of success. Instead, I bootstrapped and ended up with a lifestyle business. I also started it at age

Sweet. I put together something similar for NodeJS which is now called 'turtle' (because it's turtles all the way down...). There's a bit of a focus on AWS Lambda & other FaaS solutions as a means of building Lambda

Just mind that the tools and services around Lambda are getting better, but you will certainly be a relatively early-adopter. It will undoubtedly result in some extra time spent learning, but you'll also eliminate a number of critical

It's open source. I'm open to seeing how we might be able to integrate or work with Effe in our Go SDK, or if necessary, learn from your effort. Take a look at https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-golang , I'

OpenWhisk runs as a long-lived service which runs your code in Docker containers. In a way, it's a hammer. IOpipe can deploy code anywhere, which includes both Docker and OpenWhisk. It's the nail. You could deploy an app with IOpi

If he's using these for the SuperCharger network and plans to "gas-up" cars with solar... I don't think they can get that level of efficiency from panels spread through a gas station lot? Because that's where this p

I am involved daily in precisely an effort to do just this. The differences between the big 3-4 providers is relatively marginal (call arguments and versions of interpreters such as NodeJS). Take it as a plug if you must, but being able to

FaaS (functions as a serivce) and App Engine are not the same thing. They're both a platform as a service (PaaS), but that's where the similarities end. The difference is that traditional PaaS like App Engine and Heroku imply a

Because the main premise of "serverless" is function-as-a-unit-of-deployment, it's actually quite suited for distributed computing and works quite well in decentralized architectures. Using serverless, it's easier than e

If your app can fit the model, then PaaS, including "serverless" is a fine fit that eliminates many of the classic DevOps challenges. With "serverless" there are still many operational problems, however, so I'd only

It's like when I applied for a mortgage back in 2007 and the mortgage people told me incredibly silly things, like, "take a balloon mortgage and get a bigger house, real estate always goes up!". Real estate was considered t

The API doesn't provide access to cards? Anyway, even if it didn't, the watch could still just display a speaker/microphone image and a graphic indicating audio playback. Honestly, this is my personal hold-up on buying a smar

I'm using the Toshiba Chromebook 2 which I purchased because it was the best performance / value / screen-quality. I didn't want anything with less than a 1080p display. Today, I'd buy (and probably will buy) the HP

I've become a full-time Chromebook convert over the past 8 months despite having had Powerbooks & Macbooks over the prior 15 years. So what happened? It's simple: * Everything runs inside Linux containers with reasonably sec

We're building open source tools and services for developers to build and manage the lifecycle of serverless applications. The AWS IoT Button works as an event-loop for a (simple) serverless workflow. We can use it to demonstrate and v

The Echo not only allows you to extend its vocabulary, Amazon offers the Echo functionality as as a service that any developer can use from their own hardware. If you wanted to use your own voice recognition and natural language processing,

In 1999, I created the r_waterripple variable in Quakeforge which has propagated to most subsequent Quake ports. The implementation may or may not vary, but all projects seem to have carried the variable name. I also contributed pk3 unpacki

I bought a couple as the main value for me is that it's tied directly to AWS Lambda. Yes, I could build an ESP8266, RaspberryPi, or Arduino-based solution, but then it's totally custom. Because my startup is involved in "serv

ICANN began the process for this in 2008 and the first gTLDs were sold in, I think, 2012(?). However, yes, you're right, private entities will end up owning all of the TLDs and it will put likely startups at a disadvantage to incumbent

I hadn't considered DH, but if this bill would be used as basis for a court order to decrypt data obtained via a wiretap, then yes, it would be problematic for PFS cryptosystems. :(

by ewindisch 10y ago
Absolutely, but the bill does nothing to prevent users from installing hardware or software that has been built without a backdoor. You will still be able to use Veracrypt, if you'd like, without backdoors. I do not see in this bill pr

It would cover your use of SSH/TLS for providing a service, but they can already subpoena those keys under existing law, so it's of limited relevance in a conversation about what this bill introduces. What changes here is that if
