BradRuderman··on SaveMyTiktoks
Triller built a tool to export tiktoks incase of a tiktok ban.
BradRuderman··on Apple Responds to Dash Controversy
I believe it is in California without their permission, not 100% sure.
BradRuderman··on Scammed By A Silicon Valley Startup
The biggest red flag for me is when no one at the company (even the founders) have experienced the problem their product is solving!
BradRuderman··on Introducing unlimited private repositories
Its unfortunate that this doesn't promote trying to get business users to look at the code. In our organization 3 or 4 users are read only and really just go in at times to check specific errors, or logic for certain SQL queries, they don't really contribute. We will now have to pay $9 per month for these type of "read only" users.
BradRuderman··on Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
Has anyone actually gotten to download the thing? I just get a we'll be in touch.
BradRuderman··on Disque 1.0 RC1 is out
It seems like Disque is a "simplified" Kafka, or a more vertically purposed Redis. It seems that it differs from RabbitMQ significantly because rabbit requires a queue to push the messages in, while Disque allows jobs to be pushed independently of consumers being setup.
BradRuderman··on I am Peter Roberts, an immigration lawyer who does work for YC and startups. AMA
What is the average cost you recommend for a new the H1-B petition? What about an h1-b transfer? (Legal fees not including filing)
BradRuderman··on Heroku is no longer the hobbyist's friend
Yes, salesforce has no interest in appealing to the hobbiest developer. They focus purely on enterprise. Even as an SMB customer, I have a terrible experience with them.
BradRuderman··on Data Infrastructure at IFTTT
How do you feel about the data being delayed, sometimes 1 day? Why not stream the data in realtime to the kafka cluster?
BradRuderman··on Dropbox has open-sourced Zulip
Yea my point of the comment was (1). I didn't even know it was an acquisition. I am shutting up to prevent loosing any more minimal reputation.
BradRuderman··on Dropbox has open-sourced Zulip
I mean the slack product!
BradRuderman··on Dropbox has open-sourced Zulip
Right by why maintain the chat app? Why not just buy slack.
BradRuderman··on Dropbox has open-sourced Zulip
Oh, I'm interested in the business decision behind that. For example why didn't they just buy (not acquire) the slack product. What were the reasons to host it in-house and manage it themselves.
BradRuderman··on Dropbox has open-sourced Zulip
Why did Dropbox build this? Why didn't they just use Slack? What were the features slack was missing or were there other business reasons?
BradRuderman··on AppHub – Update React Native Apps Without Re-Submitting to Apple
From a business perspective, how many apps use react? I am interested in what is the size of the market for this business?
BradRuderman··on GitHub connectivity issues
How does that work? Does the DDOS mitigation software change DNS and if so how can it change the DNS in the middle of an attack assuming the attackers?
BradRuderman··on GitHub connectivity issues
Wouldn't the traffic run through to Prolexic regardless if it was under a DDOS or not?

BradRuderman··on Ironclad (YC S15) Is an Automated Legal Assistant for Companies
There are plenty of other Legal Marketplaces that try to connect you with an attorney. They would be a great compliment to clerky or ironclad.
BradRuderman··on Captain401 (YC S15) Wants to Make Creating a 401k Easier for Businesses
Assuming a company doesn't match their employee's 401k, what is the cost for a company to offer a 401k, traditionally, and what is the approx cost using Captain401?
BradRuderman··on Google Hiring an SEO Program Manager
I am not sure why Google would hire an SEO manager for their apps, they should just inflate their sites to the top anyways from the search team...it would be cheaper. However it is possible that they need an SEO manager to help them with other search engines beside's their own. Perhaps they are trying to capture additional marketshare (despite being obvious market leaders) from the smaller guys!
BradRuderman··on Google Hiring an SEO Program Manager
Ironic!

BradRuderman··on Ask HN: Company got acquired, new contract seems oppressive
I work at UpCounsel.com and we can definitely help your business or any business with legal needs. Although we are a marketplace, and we align with the on demand economy, the uber reference doesn't necessarily fit since it assumes the supply (drivers) are all created equal. With UpCounsel our supply (lawyers) are carefully curated, and we match you with a set of lawyers who meet your specific needs. Similar to uber, our lawyers must maintain a high rating while on the platform. Unlike Uber, once you find a lawyer who meets your needs you can continue to work with them on the platform, easily and on-going. Please email me with any questions, or if we can help you with your legal needs. My email is brad [at] UpCounsel.com

BradRuderman··on MemSQL Launches Unlimited Community Edition
When can we expect windowing functions, specifically row_number, rank, count, lead, lag, by partition.
BradRuderman··on Stripe Connect v2
Does this require people who want to be paid to sign up for accounts on stripe? Or can the application initiate bank transfers to the seller, on behalf of the buyer or from escrow.
BradRuderman··on The Dangers of the “Google Analytics-Powered Startup”
I agree with most of the points. We use GA for general traffic patterns, definitely not conversion tracking. It is horrible at true conversion tracking.
BradRuderman··on Show HN: Jolie – The First Programming Language for Microservices
This is correct. Business logic that exists in the model methods like in an MVC framework talking to backend services. When you have micro services in general you tend to have logic replicated in all the different micro services and even the consumers of those services.
BradRuderman··on Show HN: Jolie – The First Programming Language for Microservices
In my experience the biggest frustration when building microservices is the replicated logic across multiple languages/frameworks. For example if my microservices are in node/io.js and my app a rails app, then I can't replicate my model logic in my node services. Have you done anything in the jolie language to help this problem?
