Ya, reading this article makes me think this person has never actually used a taxi (at least not one outside of Manhattan, which has probably the best cab system in the world). This guy certainly hasn’t tried catching a cab at midnight in S

The terminology around seed vs a vs b is so skewed right now, but a 50 person series a startup, just estimating, is a 5 mil per year burn. Hard to say exactly the raise, but personally I’d be uncomfortable with less than 3 years runway, so

I wanted to sign up for this as an individual, but you need to be at least a 10 person company, so I couldn’t. No idea why they’d have that restriction

I'd say the counter example to this is Powershell - if you've ever used it, it's quite verbose and can be less than pleasant to write. I think having both options is the best, when you're getting started it's nice t

How do you think you compare to Cockroach? Besides the query semantics, I’m curious about the depth of the thought around cross region / cross continent and horizontal scaling concerns?

Does anyone know much about the tech on this? I assume when they say persistent they mean across VM restarts, but are they actually doing some sort of disk persistence too?

I love GCP’s postmortems - they’re open, honest, insightful, and I wish I could get my company to OK us releasing details like this when we have outages. It’s part of the reason I personally like GCP more than AWS (and certainly azure, thos

I don’t really mind these buildings - juxtaposition is always a legitimate form of artistic expression, I don’t think that goes away in architecture. Would it perhaps be better to commit one way or the other? Maybe, but it makes sense for a

Exactly, similar issue exists with nearly all package manager tools - you’re putting a lot of trust in a lot of people you don’t know.

It relies on the parties to take an action (that they are both incentivized to take in order to see if they won). This is similar to atomic swaps - they setup a time boxed window when people must take an action. If one of the parties fails

There have been some other answers, but I’ll add first, people may just want to bet BCH - if it’s possible to do, even with a limited instruction set, why not figure it out? Second, turing completeness is not a panacea, and as we’ve seen no

Am I missing something? End 2 end implies client to client, no server access to keys...doing server to client with full key access isn’t even a particularly hard problem, the tough part of most e2e systems is the ECDHE exchange, that’s wher

I actually really like Visual Studio Code, I could imagine a great product coming out of the marriage of Code and Atom. I could also imagine infighting killing Atom, but I’ll try to be optimistic.

But isn’t that sort of the issue? If you make assumptions about overall code quality, you’ll probably let smaller stylistic things slide because “this is a good coder.” I think about this in terms of some of the more contentious project (th

Ya, looks just like other escrow proposals that have been put forth - high level, there's no real escrow mechanism that won't, or can't be abused.

Interesting article, but there’s this architect type out there I’ve been encountering who are like, Kafka maximalists. In this case, the overall model is ok, but the insistence to put the keys into Kafka instead of a normal data store, and

Microsoft had a few cool things, but it all seemed .net specific. Check out this in WCF https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc297274.aspx

CRDT is definitely a good pattern for the data passing itself, but one of the really tough parts of these distributed apps is the plumbing work, just getting peers to reliability communicate. That's part of what I'm looking for.

That's interesting, I hadn't thought about IPFS - it doesn't really have a strong message passing semantic so much as it has good replication properties, but maybe you could build a distributed log on top of it.
