Oh look at that... the title changed. How predictable.

Is the server-side implementation of Mediasoup fairly light? Would be cool to run SFU inside something like a Cloudflare worker.

They should be hidden from the homepage. I stopped visiting TechCrunch a very long time ago when the majority of their posts became fundraising news.

It's too late. The intent has been signaled. PostHog is leveraging the goodwill of the "opensource" meme for personal profit-seeking. Their intention is literally to sell this analytics product to a Google/Amazon/Mi

>> "Going for VC means you are committing to an exit or a failure - you can't really change your mind later that you want to take things more steadily" Exactly. And that is a huge reason NOT to use VC-funded opensource.

Perhaps title changes that alter the sentiment should trigger a new post to be made. Because this post clearly rose to the front page on a negative sentiment. Then the title was changed to a positive sentiment while keeping all the upvote a

Nice work on censoring the original title HN mods ಠ_ಠ You asshats completely altered the sentiment of the post. Original title had to do with Zoom CEO saying they are not encrypting calls on free plans so they can more easily work with the

Yeah that's a common myth. Svelte isn't some fringe alternative JS framework. It performs exactly the same functions and same structure as any React/Vue app, but does so with far less code and runs far faster since it's

Svelte is my go-to for personal projects. My speculative hunch is it will begin to rival React within the next 5 years for its simplicity and thus cost reductions. There are a lot of advantages, but this 5min video comparing React hooks to

If you're coming from the blockchain scene you really won't get it at first glance. I first started mining Bitcoin in 2010 at $0.50 each, then went heavy into Ethereum from 2014. It took me a few weeks of deep-diving to unlearn a

So they've now fired 6700 employees WHILE investing $170M into scooters AND offering to buy Grubhub at ~$6B. Sociopaths.

Patreon shouldn't have any more than half a dozen employees. But alas, they joined the VC exit cult.

Cesspit || monopoly. You can't please HN when it's sucking on or thirsting for that VC juice.

by treelovinhippie 7y ago
VC is responsible for creating these behemoth bloated cesspits. If Meetup wasn't constantly being bailed out by venture capitalists, it would have died long ago and been replaced with a more nimble distributed ecosystem. The efficiency

Also centralized: one global ledger with one global consensus mechanism. Switch to Holochain.

by treelovinhippie 7y ago
All blockchains fundamentally do not scale. Global universal consensus and a global centralized datastore (ledger) is an anti-pattern found nowhere in nature. If the Twitter team go for a blockchain stack, they're doing so for the mass

Fixed price instead of per user is refreshing, though sadly I imagine you'll struggle to monetize under that model.

They've added markdown support in the new editor. Auto-converts as you type.

Exactly. I started and run the largest crypto meetup in Aus (~3300 members). I've been very conscious about this problem for a few years and have been wading through trauma/drama to steer the ship back to basic pub meetups with no

Since there was never a public token sale (as it was all raised privately) they should have just done a debt/equity raise. What was the point in doing an ICO? Though like all of these private token sales, it's a great way for cryp

You've misunderstood. I had cleared enough space for the update to give the go ahead. Then during the installation it ran out of space and got stuck in an infinite restart loop. So clearly the Catalina update requires much more free sp

My update experience for Catalina was like so: 1. Download 8GB on Australian internet. 2. Wait 7 hours. 2. "Sorry there was an error". 3. Download again. 4. "You need 1GB more free space". 5. Clears 1GB of space. 6. Ok i

My hunch is that for the "gig economy" to become anything more than worker exploitation, they will need to be restructured as commons-owned P2P networks where earnings and value are ~equally distributed. It's absurd for 0.01%
