The question is really "if you're not on AWS, do you have to mitigate a DDoS"? It's a big target for reasons unrelated to what most people run.

Fair enough! I think elevating his types of position to the level of "dissent" sounds like a defense, because dissent is something I think is admirable.

The problem is that RMS undermines the FSF's progress by being a dumbass. No one's expects him to solve a moral issue, they expect to him to avoid harming their mission by being a ridiculous troll.

by mrkurt 7y ago
I mean, that's the point. People care what RMS has to say in part because of the work of the FSF. Work other people are doing shouldn't necessarily amplify his stupid opinions.

by mrkurt 7y ago
If RMS had said "diversity is important but not our only goal", there wouldn't be any FSF drama. He didn't say that. His comments are the wrong comments to defend, I think, for reasons adequately explained in the article

Meetup was profitable long before Wework acquired it. People aren't bitter about service fees, they're bitter that Meetup is adding friction for _attendees_ when it's already incredibly difficult to get people there.

That sounds an awful lot like a personal attack.

That's really the crux of why the AWS offering is "meh". It just needs to be good enough because they don't need to make any extra margin on it. elastic.co has to make money in addition to channeling money Amazon's

If you follow Matthew Stoller on Twitter (or subscribe to his substack), you'll find lots of specific content about those two. Usually he's snarky about people he's built a wealth of back story on.

It's more complicated than that. When you're the sole survivor, you have a lot of options. In Amazon's case, what they have is immense leverage over the whole supply chain. Amazon extracts higher margins from manufacturers, s

That's not very arbitrary. If you're hiring someone, you're always in a position of power. If you're dating someone, there's no power differential (or if there is, that's a problem all by itself).

OpenResty seems like a great way to do that.

doh-proxy is pretty neat and tiny. The flyio/doh-proxy docker image is pretty much ready to go if you want to use it somewhere else. It's just a little harder to get the "global" bit.

That depends. If you're using Firefox and setting it to use dns-over-https it seems to ignore your /etc/hosts file. If you're installing DNS over HTTPS on an internet gateway, and just doing normal DNS lookups internal t

At the risk of hair splitting, but I'm not sure I'd call custom JavaScript in front a shared backend DoH origin "private". It seems like you may as well just use 1.1.1.1 to do DoH if you're content with CloudFlare.

There's no good way to host your apps without creating an account somewhere! You can totally use the Docker image in the article without doing that though. And maybe we should figure out how to make "login with your Hacker News&qu

~16 is about when my kids seem to start trying to manage their phone obsessions. There's nothing really weird about it.

I don't think it does my daughter any favors if she's the only one using an iPad in a classroom, it just makes her obviously different in a way that'll create resentment. She also benefited long before she was diagnosed, I th

I consider "getting around technical restrictions" to be a big part of learning about technology! Fortunately I'm better at restricting than my younger kids are at finding workarounds. My oldest got pretty good, though, but s

There's been a big backlash against screens in my high privilege/high achieving community. My dyslexic/ADHD daughter did a trial day at a private school with a "no screens in classrooms" policy. It was awful for her

$5B is already the increased consequence, they've been violating a consent decree for 8 years. Presumably in another 8 years the FTC will fine them $10B ... I'm sure that'll fix it right up.

Disney owns Hulu, I expect that'll be rolled into Disney+. I might be over estimating Netflix's skill in this area, but I suspect they are really good at converting production money into subscribers. All that said, none of this is

I don't think people will give Netflix subscriptions for Disney, I think they'll buy both. I'm sure Netflix would rather have Disney's library, but there's always a second place in a duopoly.

You might be, but the people it really hurts are the creators. Orange is the New Black went 6 seasons. The creators likely made all their money in seasons 3+, because they proved its worth in seasons 1 and 2 and had leverage to negotiate hi

The direction we're headed isn't a la carte pricing, it's bundled pricing from different companies. The thinking is a lot longer term than it seems. The US stopped enforcing antitrust laws, and if that continues it's goi
