It's the same with drought conditions in California, asking millions of people who collectively use like 7% of the water supply to sacrifice, with no attention to the small number of agriculture/industry companies using 93% of the

I think you've reinforced the point they were making. It's pitched as easier, but clear examples of common usage aren't provided. You've provided a response longer than the 9 line Dockerfile, and we still don't kn

It was an attempt at humor. Take a deep breath and try to do something useful today.

Slice has been around a lot longer than the Sliceline episode, but the business model questions raised are still pretty relevant.

I said it wasn't perfect, and that it can't be perfect. I shouldn't be surprised that avoiding hot takes and trying to be reasonable is rewarded with downvotes on HN.

You are still an anecdote. You know this, and you also know that people get posts taken down every day, by the thousands of people working to moderate content.

Is there a better example? Is the concept of perfect moderation even theoretically possible?

What's the alternative? Can you go on Twitter and find bullying? Can you go on Reddit and find bullying? Is there any internet property where moderation is 100% perfect?

Humans make the decisions, and humans make mistakes.. Humans don't always "get" all the context for every issue. Do you really expect perfection for every judgment? There are anecdotes for every scenario, and they don'

What's sad is that you believe this, without any actual evidence, based on pure speculation and rumor.

Their friends didn't, though, that's why it's comparable and the intent is irrelevant. A small number of willing users fans out to a massive number of unwitting ones.

That's not a popular idea here on HN. Former YC'er created https://gab.ai which is what you're looking for, and now they have a full video streaming / tipping system.

They actually had their money tripled. Tripled. Tripled.

Not really a good analogy. They invested with him, he lost it but found another way to make that money back. There wasn't any theft.

of course, but 7 years is a very long time. It could have been shorter, considering the lack of actual damages.

Harsh sentence for a case where all the money was paid back.

I like it, it's very tasteful... I hope it does come back, because I find the flat / whitespace / no decoration UI craze to be boring.

RocksDB is used all over Facebook, powers the entire social graph. Great storage engine that pairs well with multiple DBMS: MySQL, Mongo, Cassandra... We'll be at Percona Live 2018 in April, giving several talks, and are looking forwa

That's not true, you have the ability in settings to see all old sessions and revoke device approvals. It's pretty easy to clear out your old machines.

Don't neglect the non-coding parts of the interview, as well. Be pleasant and friendly, be engaging, smile and laugh, tell stories of past projects, show real interest in the work.

The way it used to work in the old #warez days, was that people in the testing or supply chains (think cd packaging, for one) would leak things early. Groups like Razor1911 had suppliers, couriers, crackers, designers.. a wide network of p
