If you are in the SF Bay Area, Piala in Sebastopol and Healdsburg imports and sells Georgian wine. They may ship to you in other parts of the US too (but I would not recommend it — natural wine degrades quite fast when shipped with traditio

Re: Will’s talk, which I agree is awesome. They recently turned that knowledge into a product, still early/rough but holy crap it feels like dark wizardry to use it. Plus these folks are really top shelf humans to work with. https:&#x

The non-cynical, snark-free definition would be “built from the ground up to be used and deployed in various kinds of cloud based environments”. Whether that’s just marketing BS or real depends on the project. Wether it fits your particular

That is not very nice of you. They did something wrong so in response you do something bad yourself to a third party community? Flooding HN with spam just for the feeling of settling your personal vendetta? Cmon man. Don’t be an ass.

Heavy moderation on slashdot? It’s news to me. Every time I look at slashdot comment I find them inundated with ascii swastikas, all kinds of slurs and s*t slinging. I would have guesse they lost the battle against moderation. I see your po

Just click on an image that you like. Then keep clicking. Hit the lightning at the top of the page to restart from scratch. I lost a very enjoyable hour going down random rabbit holes of beautiful images. -- Previously on HN ~2 years ago:

If you find this interesting, check out ‘King of Stonks’ (on Netflix). It’s a fun critique of corporate greed and capitalism gone wild. The story centers around an activist short seller who could be inspired by the stories in this article.
