I don’t understand your point. They are talking about “Apple Product Security”. If the person employed there is as you describe then it’s first of all an outrage that Apple do not hire sufficiently competent people for these types of critic

Not all submarine cables cross oceans.

That’s true for communication cables though, so what about cables for electricity? That’s mostly what my original comment was about, that the title seems to imply any submarine cable is automatically a data cable.

I suppose it would, I guess I'm just wondering for how long fiber cables have been the standard, and if there are any operational cables from the time before that. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of cables dedicated for one purpo

This might be a stupid question, but is it implicit that these "submarine cables" are all fiber cables? If so, are they of similar or very different bandwidths? I would think there are cables of differing ages that are used for di

Yikes. This is the strangest thing I've seen on HN in a long time. How can someone responsible for product at Github (!) think posting your private twitter account in a context like this is acceptable, and even more so when it's f

If you throw a 404 to a completely valid GET for a file that doesn't exist for example, how is that a "complete overlap" to something like asking a database REST API to print a PDF? In the latter case, you have the ability to

This seems like an excellent idea for a spare tire, since those usually only lie around for a long time in the boot, and when they do get used it's expected that they don't perform exactly as the regular tires. For some reason tho

I have always been somewhat skeptical of Docker, for example due to how horribly it has always worked on Windows. My first real exposure to containers was when getting into Red Hat certifications and being introduced to Podman, and with the

While this is technically true I think one should be careful to insinuate that this is an underlying cause. I don't think most people would say the same about homosexuality for example. It's just a more elaborate way of saying &qu

I'm sure they're both humbling, it's just that I believe the massive difference in selection between men and women is exacerbated by the online experience. There are benefits and downsides to them both, I think.

Spending time right next to a truck is completely optional. You can either speed up or slow down, either of them will put you in a position where you are no longer right next to them.

Your basis for the conclusion that Stockholm is not "attracting and keeping global talent" is that some random person once was very rude to you? Or is this a general experience you've heard from other people?
