I was hoping for more detail in the post but it really just a seems like a quick and easy way to attract eyeballs? Never heard of the platform, and I cant help but think that the logo is a rip of the old okta brand.

Many jurisdictions do require prices to be clearly displayed for goods, but services are a different beast. You have limited resources to deliver these services, customer needs can be complex, and differ across regions.

Unlikely that they want it hot or even warm. That data almost definitely went to Gkacier while they worked out what to do with it.

You’re thinking of racketeering, which this is not.

you were almost certainly picked up by the faster-than-flight rule, or as I like to call it ‘the superman rule’. It’s probably the second most common geo rule after geoblocking.

If you allow staff to install rando VPN profiles, let alone software, and instead rely solely on the goodwill of your employees - don’t. In many places that’s a fireable offence.

Wouldn’t load, and while it’s plausible that the article is insightful and well written, I’d wager that topic won’t be aligned with the standard HN fare.

Which (as controversial as it sounds in this kind of forum) is a sensible pricing model to recover and fund R&D and finance operations.

Sort of, but baked right into the repo platform.

I had to transcode some files recently. I’m extremely proficient with the ClI, but I would have loved to have a GUI version.

People rage about Electron being insecure and bloated, but by Jove it’s a godsend for consistency and portability.

Agreed. Developers and consumers already have a relationship with repository platforms - it makes sense to integrate the monetisation or paid support channel there. Can I coin the term ‘pay per pull’ (not that I think that’s the best approa

I’m not suggesting it’s the same as an air gap. I’m suggesting that the solution sufficiently meets their requirements to do away with the need for a bona fide air gap. In fact, that’s what is implied by the quoted statement in the article.

I know exactly what it is, and you should read my comment.

This is a bit of a straw man argument. They’ve framed a specific architecture paradigm in a way you disagree with, so you shouldn’t deal with them ever? The way I read it is that it eliminated the need for an air gap for their needs , not

This thread is obsessed with nit picking this point. They cite that it removes the need for an air gapped system… They’re not claiming that it is one, just that it meets the requirements for their needs . Also, since when was the concept

People using ‘cold’ hardware wallets are air gapping crypto to a degree. It’s really just offline key storage, which is as old as IT itself. They’re not mainstream because crypto isn’t mainstream outside of the crypto-bro community, mainly

The complexity involved in targeting distributed, temporal backend systems like the ones being discussed here is sufficiently unreliable and risky that it’s easier and cheaper to just go straight for the people, or simply find another avenu

I recall reading that the interference could easily be cancelled out by professional and institutional researchers using known data on the satellite’s location. Not sure if that’s still the case several years later, or if it was just a deli

GTC is easily confused with Galactic Time, which will likely cause mass havoc a rewrites in dead languages like Imperial C and Scala sometime after the year 48,000AD.

Most major distros include mechanisms to install packages not security updates, either via the package manager, or through specific repositories.

I mean, they’re just the high profile ones. China makes and ships a lot of hardware, and the US makes and ships a lot of software.

While it was quaint to read through the high effort blog post, it was like reading a cooking blog that starts off with reminiscing about travels through an Italian village where they learnt how to make toast.
