CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: Please share your experience teaching your kids to program
You would enjoy a Bentley if you liked Bentleys or certain kind of cars and enjoyed driving them. You would love a big house in Majorca if you were from the area and had a big family -or plans for it- and you would love to be with the person you'd love to be. Those are just examples. There may be a thousand more reasons why you'd love those.

The fact that you don't like Bentleys, big houses in Majorca or a specific lady does not make them vacuous or meaningless; not to mention it would be 100% rewarding if those were your dreams and you've accomplished them.

That guy may or may not like those, but appeals to people that would love -or they think they would- those. The same goes for any other dreams we have.

CloudNetworking··on Analysis of Today's CenturyLink/Level(3) Outage
If anything, these kind of issues we see popping up here and there are proof of the high availability of the Internet and specifically how protocols such as BGP helped on making it what it is today.

It is not that we have built the Internet despite BGP. We have built it thanks to BGP. If we didn't have BGP we would have to invent it :)

CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: Should I sell equity in a past startup on the private market?
If you had that money, would you invest it all on this company?

If the answer is "no", sell.

Police? Sure. THIS police? haha nope thanks.

I would recommend Ed Harmoush's materials in https://www.practicalnetworking.net/
CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: Overcoming Burnout / Imposter Syndrome
> It's called "paying your dues" and exists in all industries. You need to earn respect of your new colleagues by doing some of that shitty work and doing it well. If all goes well, in a couple of months you'll be a part of the in-group and will get the interesting tasks.

"Pay one's dues" "Earn respect" "Part of the in-group"

I am sorry but this is not my experience at all. What you've described is how gangs work, not companies.

I am hired to work on certain areas due to my skills and knowledge. Shitty tasks are everyone's (in the team) responsibility. I am not hired to "pay my dues" and "earn respect" to become "part of the in-group". I'd leave that initiation ritual to other, uh, industries.

CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: Did Nate Silver End Up Listening to Nassim Taleb's Critique?
The problem is that people do not understand their findings.
CloudNetworking··on Beta users of Starlink get downloads of 11 to 60 Mbps
A family.
CloudNetworking··on Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store
> Because its the sort of above most transaction fees of most payment providers in the world.

They're not just a payment provider though. They offer infrastructure, promotion, a huge locked-in userbase with the means to pay for software, etc

CloudNetworking··on Show HN: 2,469 Remote Companies Hiring in 2020
oh nice, I completely missed!

Yeah, I would prefer that personally, but maybe it's just me haha.

CloudNetworking··on Show HN: inlets - The Cloud Native Tunnel
Thanks for replying!

So if I understand correctly you're not running TCP inside the websockets, right? but if I'm e.g. using SSH the layers will be TCP-SSL-HTTP-WebSockets-SSH payload am I right? That sounds definitely better than TCP in TCP indeed.

And why do you say "websockets can traverse almost any network condition"? I mean I get that all my remote devices will keep a websockets connection to my "central" server, which is the one that should be reachable, and I can run whatever I want inside those websockets tunnels - is that what you mean? That we rely on outbound traffic to e.g. 443/TCP being allowed?

Also WireGuard is not a SaaS product, it's a technology. You can run IP and TCP inside a WireGuard tunnel, so not sure which approach would show better performance. Have you ran any tests?

Some other SaaS have built products that use WireGuard as core technology and allow clients to (try to) connect directly, thus lowering latency compared to any option with a jump server in between. The thing is you can't do that with TCP. Would you consider supporting UDP in the future to add direct connections (accomplished by e.g. UDP hole punching)?

CloudNetworking··on Show HN: 2,469 Remote Companies Hiring in 2020
I see lots of ways to filter out companies, but no way to see jobs for all of them - or at least it does not seem obvious to me.
CloudNetworking··on Show HN: inlets - The Cloud Native Tunnel
Two questions:

- Why have you chosen TCP instead of UDP as the transport protocol?

- Why should I use inlets instead of, let's say, WireGuard?

CloudNetworking··on I want to have an AWS region where everything breaks with high frequency
You can use IBM cloud for that purpose
CloudNetworking··on Direct evidence for T-cell immunity as a factor behind Covid-19 heterogeneity
> Nice casuistry you got there.

No, he's the one making claims without supporting data or evidence.

He said, textually:

(About the virus) "for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low"

(About the vaccine) "Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally"

You can tell he's passing opinions as facts the moment he feels guilty and adds "personally".

The fact that we don't know if there could be long term side effects with the vaccine doesn't mean it is not a calculated risk. The fact that we haven't waited for 4 years doesn't mean the scientists behind it do not fully understand how the vaccine works and what are the potential risks. It's not a blind gamble.

That's why I think it is important, if you're in for a serious discussion and not for anti-vaxxer histrionic propaganda, to make sure we support wild claims with strong evidence.

CloudNetworking··on Treating children for worms yields long-term benefits, says new study
I'm glad to hear you've recovered most of the money. Yes, I also think you would've been treated and hospitalised anyway. I don't think (but I may be wrong) that hospitals in Spain have a "foreigner's deparment". That may go against some EU laws.
CloudNetworking··on Direct evidence for T-cell immunity as a factor behind Covid-19 heterogeneity
So you don't have any data to make those claims as if they were facts. Thank you.
CloudNetworking··on Direct evidence for T-cell immunity as a factor behind Covid-19 heterogeneity
No, seriously, do you have any data to support your claims that it is riskier to get the vaccine than to get infected by the virus in the wild?
CloudNetworking··on Direct evidence for T-cell immunity as a factor behind Covid-19 heterogeneity
> Personally I am not afraid of SARS-CoV-2, for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low. Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally.

Do you have data to support these two claims?

Edit: I am not sure why I have been downvoted for requesting support data regarding two quite strong claims. Someone, even if it's not the downvoter, care to explain?

CloudNetworking··on US to ban transactions with ByteDance and WeChat in 45 days
They are protecting their own companies against all global competition, irrespective of country. It just happens that only China represents a serious threat to US hegemony in this market.

Edit: This comment was being voted positively (+4) until the US folks started to wake up (now sitting at 0) :)

CloudNetworking··on Treating children for worms yields long-term benefits, says new study
> I was hospitalized for just shy of a week and had to pay a 3000 EUR deposit up front to be admitted and receive treatment.

Do you recall which hospital was that? Sounds like you were sent to a private hospital.

CloudNetworking··on How Did the Casio F91W Become a Terrorist Icon?
If it costs 2-3USD to make and you can sell a million worldwide... :)
CloudNetworking··on New ‘Meow’ attack has deleted almost 4k unsecured databases
> It's a nightmare to manage on premise but it works really well in the cloud with firewalls allowing traffic based on instance tags.

It's not though. Subnetting and firewalling are like the foundation of any corporate network.

CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: How to deal with vendors who run outdated TLS?
I would move away to another vendor, as an outdated TLS version is just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't move away you are knowingly putting your customer's data at risk.
CloudNetworking··on Show HN: WizAtHome – WFH Policy Management SaaS Platform
I've browsed your site and I still don't know what your product does. What's a WFH policy? Why do I need one? How are these enforced?
CloudNetworking··on Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this?
You have answered your own question :-)
CloudNetworking··on How Nespresso's coffee revolution got ground down
Is that in Europe? I mean, I don't know anyone that does filter coffee in Europe to be honest. Not trying to be snobby, it's just different habits I guess (e.g. a watery black coffee is known as "Americano" in most places in Europe I've been)
CloudNetworking··on How Nespresso's coffee revolution got ground down
Pretty much everyone and his mother in Europe has a capsule coffee machine.

P.S.: I won't comment about the filter coffee remark as it's clearly bait ;)))

I can confirm it was a thing in Spain too.
