We don't have the trademark, unfortunately, but we can demonstrate using the mark for months before Google did.

A major client of mine was recently shut down (without notice) because one of our major products is video streaming. Apparently that’s now against the Cloudflare’s TOS (unless, of course, we used CloudFlare’s streaming product at rates that

We transitioned to Fastmail. I don't like the recent development of Australian privacy (i.e., lack of) laws, but I'm willing to give Fastmail a chance to address the issues—and switching is easy enough to allow us to transition to

I really want to like ProtonMail. I do like them, in fact. Unfortunately, their business email offering only has one advantage: the encryption. Every other feature that's important for running a business (IMAP, shared inboxes, automati

I think the point is Rust is a very good language in its own right. The fact it compiles to WASM is a great feather in the cap. They are able to deliver a demo in the browser for something that would normally require downloading and compili

Very few folks don’t run some reverse proxy in front of their application servers (or a whole string of them to load balance), so lack of http/2 on an application server is rarely a dealbreaker for a web framework. I’ll take a solid fr

Because it's interesting to the HN users; I know I found it interesting a few days ago when I read it. HN isn't just about tech, startups, and the ilk. :)

Nope. :) Just clarifying my parent comment in case it was misunderstood in context of the response. I agreed with your comment, as well.

I was an early investor in Tesla (I cashed out a few years ago). I believe in their mission. I wish their success. But this is hard, simultaneously telling your workforce: 1) We need to you work harder, better, and faster. 2) To h

Hey Chris, glad to hear that is an internal focus! I hope for the sake of the Internet that one day discussions about privacy aren’t needed because it’s the default everywhere. Then everyone wins. :)

Every corporation’s legal core tenet is increasing shareholder value (i.e., make money). I’m more inclined to go with those who at least claim to protect privacy over those who don’t. :)

> They were using an open source map company, not google maps. By that standard, I feel this is probably a privacy regression. I'm not sure this is a fair comparison. Open source is not the same as privacy-friendly. Apple makes priv

The analytics I'm referring to would be for our marketing page (and only our marketing page). The logs are for our services themselves. It may seem like splitting hairs, but I believe it's entirely reasonable to collect useful dat

I strongly suspect this was not a sell-out. I suspect it was more a move to save a good deal of money. Mapbox is very expensive at DDG-scale, and given how lean and efficient they like to run things, I can easily understand this choice. Th

Hey spurgu, that's yet to be decided. :) We're investigating some of the self-hosted options or our own log-based metrics (think ElasticSearch + Kibana). We're trying to avoid third-parties, if at all possible.

I believe Apple at least augments their data with OSM data; however, I suspect the primary driver of this decision was price. Edit: request are succeeding for me now.

Does anyone know a comparison between this and CockroachDB? Or have experience running either in production? They seem to compare against other databases, but not against Cockroach which seems to be the biggest competitor. I'm looking

After mistakenly posting one such scam to HN a few days ago, this is fascinating to me. The scams are effective in convincing people they are real. Why does Twitter allow verified accounts to change their name? Requiring some level of rever

This is where maps are headed. A good example of this style of rendering is Apple Maps and Mapbox GL (with JS, C++, et.al. bindings). The issue is the rendering is actually somewhat resource intensive and browser support is thus far incompl
