Sure, but renting out data center capacity is not that lucrative. You get 15% markup that's all.

I have had some completely innocuous messages (not SpaceX related) automatically flagged. There is some kind of bug here.

So customer travels to vendor's site?

by petilon 4mo ago
It is surprising that business travel still exists. I would've thought that due to improvements in video calling tech during covid, the need for travel to customer site would decline precipitously.

SpaceX posted $18.7 billion in 2025 revenue. A typical premium valuation for a top-tier tech company with excellent growth potential might be around 10x to 14x revenue, which would imply a strong IPO valuation of roughly $187 billion to $26

The reports feature of Visual DB seems to have most of what you are looking for: https://visualdb.com/ It has sophisticated filters and you can share reports with your team (as opposed to exporting CSVs).

Time traveling humans is more likely for the following reason: It requires only one thing: worm hole or some other yet-to-be-invented mechanism for traveling to the past. For this to be alien intelligence, two things are required: First ali

I have been to BestBuy and tried out laptops with non-integer scaling (150% or even 300%) and observed the display artifact I mentioned previously.

This 16 inch laptop has 2560x1600 resolution. If you set it to 200% then that's the equivalent of 800 pixels which is what you expect in a 13 inch laptop. For a 16 inch laptop there's not enough pixels. Why set it to 200%? Because

200% means double the resolution of the "previous era" (1990s and 2000s), which was around 96 dpi. Modern applications will not see any scaling artifacts. Applications from the "previous era" that are not HighDPI-aware w

This Samsung [1] is only 14" and yet has 2880x1800 display. That's 200% resolution. Anything less than 200% is not interesting to me. iPhone with Retina display debuted in 2010. Isn't 13 years enough time for PC laptops to ca

Sorry your last attempt failed. If you have been following React discussions on HN you know there's massive criticism about hooks. MVC is still the predominant pattern and for very good reason. Backbone.js is not relevant for this disc

It is not sufficient if, in aggregate, self-driving cars have fewer accidents. If you lose a loved one in an accident where the accident could have been easily avoided if a human was driving, then you're not going to be mollified to he

Sorry none of this makes any sense to me. You can't have cyclical data binding when you only have 1-way data binding. MVC is absolutely perfect for stateful use cases. In fact, it is React that suffers a total breakdown in stateful use

Famously, a Facebook engineer declare on stage that MVC doesn't scale. Later it turned out that she was talking about one specific implementation of MVC that used 2-way data binding. She assumed that 2-way data binding is part and parc

What about it is "functional-like"? Does functional simply mean not using classes?

Backbone.js used 2-way data binding. Some people mistakenly think MVC implies 2-way data binding. It does not. The point here is that you can write maintainable, clean, efficient JavaScript web apps without the load of complexity added by R
