   Hmm, the NYT link for the Clever "dashboard" / app store just pointed to clever.com, but here's the link to the list of supported apps: https://clever.com/schools/partners

   Regardless of what you think of the issue, that read like a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed. I know Techcrunch skews pro-tech, but at some point reading articles like that increases your filter bubble and ends up with the reader worse off. Instea

   This result is "startling" because "startling" is great as a clickbait word. I really wish HN was less susceptible to clickbait...

   (page is https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki ) <-- this is not the way they handle it, just has a good image showing how crazy the number of microservices they handle is

   I wonder how Netflix addresses this- looking at their Hystrix page they have tons and tons of microservices...

    I'd also love to see tools like: https://github.com/npdoty/privacyicons in use everywhere, or even a version of the twitter firehose but for privacy policies, if we were able to get more of the industry to post th

    This is great - I think this kind of transparency before now has pretty much been constrained to very tech-heavy industries instead of education and healthcare.

    I think we should have a law where any service which is supported by advertising / data selling also have a paid opt-out feature. If I want to pay Google $100/year for email without ads or trackers, I should be able to do that. Su

    I think that's a side-effect from allowing control of our industry messaging board to rest in the hands of YC instead of the community. I've actually hoped that the balance would swing back to /r/programming where modera

    I put perks 2nd as I think about it myself as more a progression up the pyramid... Ah well, at least the outcome of being selfish ends up with a good result!

    Does pure scientific discovery count, given that it can be used for evil? I think no, but on the other hand the internet that I'm typing this on was partially created with defense industry funds....

    Definitely agree - it would have been tough for me to quit my stable job on the east coast and come out to SF (to earn much, much more) had I not eliminated my debt. The freedom can help you earn more as it allows you to take opportunities

    Very essential - account provisioning / the API is the first step for an app to be useful to a teacher / students. As the top-rated comment suggests, we only help schools share the basic 'student 123 is in class 456'-typ

    I think many people might not realize how much education has changed since they were in school (K-12) - there are now hundreds of educational apps specializing in all parts of the curriculum. It's crazy to organize (hence why Clever is

    I am not sure why this is being downvoted... People are asking above "What, however, can the man of good will do to combat this deeply rooted prejudice?". One prong of this prejudice is the structure of our justice system, and par

    It's a good point, but right now we don't do anything that relies specifically on one technology at the very low levels (for instance, kernel modules or very specific networking optimizations we don't need and would be over

    It is true that I haven't seen a hub in about 5 years, which means (100% anecdotally) that if someone is just graduating college now and started learning exactly 4 years ago, they might never have seen a hub...

    I don't think you're weird, I think you're probably a great candidate to work as a sysadmin / SRE, or at Clever, we're hiring: https://clever.com/about/jobs#engineer-distributed-systems !

    I think you are definitely right that IPv6 would mitigate, but I think that the real way to avoid this issue is for the kernel to make the tradeoff for you - it's so cheap to do an arp ping, you might as well on maybe every 100th packe
