Yeah, what this article doesn’t talk about is the pretend-FBI that Facebook employs as its security team. They go out of their way to intimidate employees and make them think that Facebook is some quasi-governmental institution where leak

Yeah, you can’t just sort of observe things from a distance and make hand-wavy statements regarding regulation. You’re not the only one to do this, of course — it’s actually one of the Facebook’s preferred talking points for journalists and

I ask this sincerely: what makes you an expert on the motives and culture of Facebook, where you feel you can authoritatively state that their problems are “not specific” to them? Because, as someone who has spent time with the founders and

You’re aware that the NYT collects millions from Facebook in an invite-only revenue deal[1], right? The fact of the matter is, they’re so arrogant that these sort of articles don’t bother them at all . The whole faux-outrage thing and the

Hi Greg, thanks for the feedback. It’d be great if you could get around to putting up an example of how to do bucket notifications + lifecycle using Workers as a temporary workaround until it’s part of the “core.” I don’t think I’m the only

Love the team at DigitalOcean but Spaces was NOT reliable the last time I played with it. It’s also lacking key features in lifecycle and notification areas. Maybe they’ve gotten things together in recent months/years and I haven’t got

There is one major reason S3 remains the king of storage for mobile media uploads: bucket notifications. Does R2 implement this feature? If so, I’m going to have to run some experiments with this...

Is Microsoft one of those companies that pays you a bonus if you file a successful patent? This invention doesn’t strike me as being particularly lucrative for them during the 18 years of patent ownership.

Aside from my personal experiences in this area, you can ask the Winkelvoss twins what happened when the judge in their case found out that Zuckerberg/Facebook’s lawyers lied and withheld evidence that would have gotten them a bigger p

There’s laws, and then there’s enforcement. Let’s see who gets in trouble, and what happens to them. We live in an era where governments are diluting the value of their legal frameworks through selective enforcement (SEC, anyone?). I don’t

And you think the 200 Chivo ATMs aren’t going to be criminal hotspots? Not saying that to be critical — solving that problem seems to be key for more countries than just El Salvador, and for electronic remittance beyond Bitcoin.
