We’re doing this now? For my entire tenure on HN, this site has been a status page for GitHub. Looks like it’s Gitlabs turn.

From the financial risk perspective, Tim really can't say anything.

This reminds me of "There are dozens of us... DOZENS"[1]. While I am happy that people are diversifying their social network choice, 160k is a rounding error to Facebook. [1] - https:/…

Does this get rid of ads? I would pay for this if all of the Ads in Search, Gmail, YouTube, and every other Google product they pushed went away.

> That's both not true and not the issue here. It was true when he told me, Amazon reversed its decision on this in March[1]. > The Amazon.com Retail team probably won't …

I have a buddy who sells some custom widget on his own personal website and when we were snowboarding in whistler in March of this year, he complained about this. He was saying that if his widget is $…

The first time my site ended up on HN, I set up Cloudflare because this community blew my site off the internet pretty quickly.

Just listened to it[1] twice; Thanks for the recommendation! [1] - https://castro.fm/episode/bwHpe7 …

I loved watching this talk — After watching this I gained a new level of appreciation for the VC model they pioneered.

I don't think it is. When you're setting up your phone, you have to go through the "hey Siri" training to enable it.

About 4 years ago, I found this credit card on the street in Pittsburgh when I was walking home. When I got home, I just emailed the persons firstname.lastname@gmail.com. They actually responded and …

Nov 4th: Q3 Earnings[1] Nov 6th: Blackout ends 2 days after earnings Nov 6th: Lockup expires ...not that I'm counting or anything [1] - https://investor.uber.com/news…

Is there any way that the numbers could work out? Let’s say SoftBank is able to trim the company to the bare bones; Does the We Company still make money at high gross margins? I wonder if it makes mor…

I did not see the connection, but I think private market investors did. They saw that if you could sell web ads (Google) or sell mobile ads (Facebook) at zero marginal cost to each additional advertis…

When I joined Amazon in 2014, there were ~120,000 microservices. A lot of them arne't used or just hello world tests apps. Every new employee had to spin one up during orientation.

1. File insurance claim 2. Get your claim money 3. Premium goes up 4. Buy another one

Or ideas are worth nothing, it's execution that matters... so $0?

I was reading this blog post by Fred Wilson last night and I think this unlocked a key insight for me[1]. WeWork (Uber, Peloton, Lyft, AirBnB, etc...) are not software companies. None of these busin…

IIRC, the limit is 50k a list, but you can have unlimited lists. That is the difference between 1Blocker and 1Blocker X.

I have USAA and they are pretty bad as well. Max password length is 20 characters. They only do MFA through cell phone numbers and email which allows someone to Sim-Swap if they are able to get your u…

I deleted my facebook account years ago — how do I delete myself?

I worked at a company from 2011 - 2013 that gave me the offer to buy out my options. I'm glad I didn't because that company was going out of business. The entire executive leadership team wa…

I totally agree with this and this is actually something that my Engineer Brain and Product Brain are constantly in conflict about. I ran gitignore.io for 6 years and it was not "hard" to ru…

If I wasn't an iOS developer, I would probably switch back to Linux as well.

I think the points in the post are valid, but there are also things about GNU that are terrible as well. It's just that nobody is wiring GNU faults. If someone did a write up, I would expect that…

What is interesting about this and the Apple post[1] is that no one is actually taking responsibility or signing their name. It's just a generic blog post with a list of issues. Where is the GNU&…

Yeah I totally agree with you — It definitely took me a few years to learn that but you're obviously sharper than I am :).

I already sold it for $12,000.
