Have you ever faced a volume of questions that you could not reasonably answer to the degree of thoroughness you prefer? How did you deal with it? I mean, you mention at least one tactic in the sibling thread, but what I don’t understand is

What’s the opportunity cost of your thoroughness?

Huh, I thought kind was the spiritual successor to minikube (which I used fondly years ago). When should one reach for minikube over kind today?

Thanks for pointing out the improvement over NIST, it wasn’t clear to me. But did you mean to reply to my parent? Both the draft and the current language say SHOULD NOT. I’d rather “must”, but will settle for “should”; the NIST docs have ce

Yup Apple is pretty good here. My daily browser is an iPad Air 2, it's still getting all the iPadOS updates, 7.25 years after its release.

Huh? Yes Aurora is highly proprietary, but S3 is a commodity in many use cases.

Hypothetically, they could prove infringement by presenting a hash or a trusted timestamp of the source-code. But maybe they’ll be lucky and the code will have intact copyright headers!

It’s the opposite. The older the bug, the less likely it will be fixed. Those old bugs are one of the most reliable sources of information how the software behaves.

A grinder has at least two significant features missing from a mortar and pestle: you have easy control over the fineness of the grind, and you can measure rough quantity in number of turns. Plus a grinder is generally handier for a bit of

Yes! Their behavior in public is one of the few signals we have to assess the degree to which they take security seriously behind the scenes. Hence, the SSO tax is an issue to us, we do evaluate companies by their behavior in this regard.

It's an indicator that the company favors profits over security.

That solves password hashes, yes. But the end users face the scenario "this is one of those apps that's missing from my company's SSO portal, how do I get into it again?", which nobody likes. And does nothing for sticki

This makes sense if you wanted to sell YC 7% or more of your company . Some of us want the benefit of YC without giving up so much of our company, and the new standard deal doesn't do anything for us.

It’s twice (more than twice really) as good only at the marginal percentage ownership beyond 7% , it’s not twice as good of a deal in absolute terms. It reminds me of “buy one get one half off” - no, I’d like just one, for 25% off its list

IIRC this was litigated by k8s years ago, hence we don’t have pet sets. But the metaphor is still in use because it’s so vivid and memorable. Is there a recommended replacement metaphor?

I think “if you cannot” may be appropriate too. It makes me feel that the author would be sad if I died, so they don’t want to think about it.
