At this rate, in a hundred years, we're going to be naming spaceship parts silly things like 'blip-blooper' because all the cool names for things will have already been taken by tech start ups.

Fortunately, most of them fail.

Pretty sure we won't have a functional name collision with this one within 100 years.

Or they'll give them names from other languages that are easy to pronounce and remember. There's also making up words, that works too.

You mean, like "blip-blooper"?

If that perfectly matches the product... I guess so? If Google never existed, it would of sounded silly to others I'm sure.

Would "have" ...and Google isn't a nonsense word, btw. It's a homophone of the word "googol," to the effect of invoking the idea of a vast, large number of things.

A hint for the Teleport people:

Oil companies, and other engineering businesses who need massive computing power and are very strict on confidentiality, are probably going to be very interested. 2FA and the ability to easily revoke access is very much their cup of tea. I know some of them run java solutions for 2FA ssh-in-the-browser, and it's a PITA. Plus, they have deep pockets.

Good luck cold-calling them though. Best bet is probably going to an applied reservoir modelling / geophysics conference or something.

Hey thanks for the tip :)

Teleport lets me to join my customer's environments and provide live support in seconds - and they can see everything I do. That's the main reason we wrote it - to enable instant support for a distributed customer base.

also, the healthcare tech industry. PHI is a bitch.

Sigh. I wish that was literal.

Heh, I opened it thinking it talks about actual teleportation :)

Quite a misleading name.

I was thinking maybe it was Andrea Rossi's next project (Rossi of e-cat cold fusion). :)

You should always under-promise and over-deliver. It's kind of a bummer to see a customer support app since I was expecting a groundbreaking technology that finally succeeded in implementing teleportation technology using gravity distortion

Falling from a tree is a type of gravitational teleporting.

This project was discussed recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11355976.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to pile on about the name. Please in the future, don't name your software product something that sounds cool but doesn't actually describe what your product does (except perhaps in some sort of metaphorical, oh-I-understand-it-after-the-fact-but-I-wouldn't-have-thought-it-meant-that-upon-hearing-it sort of way).

Some of us actually work on gravitation or teleportation. Congratulations, you just made it harder every time one of those people Google! Yay for human progress!

/still angry at Steam, works with actual cutting edge steam technology

That said, I wish you good luck with your product. There is definitely demand for more friendly and easily deployable cryptography products. I wish you success.

Great job on hitting 1.0. Teleport looks amazing! I'm especially interested in the centralized key management, two-factor auth, and session recording and replay.

this interests me. We have one of the "internal ssh bastion schemes" built out that they mention in the video. It sucks, and most of the reason it has to suck it to maintain complete audit logs (I work in healthcare tech, we deal with lots of sensitive/regulated data).

Will definitely be testing this out.
