It is less stable, more expensive, lacks proper spot instances, and all opensource-based services are full of unnecessary msft-style modifications.

Msft is very pushy around Azure - they really try to behave like they are on par with aws (they are not. well, maybe on paper). O would not be surprised if this deal is a result of regular Msft blackmail-style negotiations.

That was my biggest concern as well. I am sure you do not do that, it it would have been so easy to funnel my data (or metadata) to your servers.

Open-sourcing and authenticating the client code would resolve this issue for me.

Very interesting. I have added the [book](https://smile.amazon.com/Formula-Universal-Laws-Success-eboo...) this piece was adopted from to my backlog.

Not really, I have seen a lot of unneeded abbreviations. Thankfully we are (almost) out of the age of 140c messages and 40c editor lines.

But more to the point, 'vulns' seems like a very unnatural abbreviation. I would go with v11n (similar to i18n).

> oddly vulgar

My initial reaction was 'linguistically disgusting', but I decided to hold off the opinion, just in case I am strangely illiterate.

Yep, chat makes sense. Thank you for actually stating a use-case.

This blog post is so watered down and manages to digress at every possible point that it is almost impossible to read. The only useful part of the text are the URLs.

Also, this:

> A vulnerability, or vuln for short, is a bug that makes software go wrong in a way that reduces computer security.

Does anyone actually use this abbreviation?

The article makes a good argument against simplifying Silicon Valley down to its faults:

> stop talking about how Silicon Valley only makes ridiculous overpriced juicers

But who are those people who simplify Silicon Valley, and mock the useless innovation?

I feel like the author falls victim to the same blind-men-and-elephant problem: he somehow reads all the 'thinkpieces' (whatever that means) that focus on strange things SV does. I personally do not see this phenomenon, probably because I get my news from aggregators with different bias. The (successfully defeated) strawman is just that, a strawman.

Funny how word 'Enterprise' picks up more and more negative connotation in modern software world. These days, 'enterprise' means outdated, inflexible and intentionally flawed monster of technology.

But if you run your dev environment in the same cloud, doesn’t it void this argument almost completely?

The onlything i would run locally would be the frontend, and it is web/mobile anyway.

.dev is only prohibitively expensive during the pre-sale. After Feb 28, there will be no extra charge ($0 one-time fee).

Looking at the API description (very detailed BTW) https://developers.docusign.com/esign-rest-api/guides/authen... , it does look like they used a wrong flow for the use-case, and then invented some shortcuts to make it work (which understandably did not work out well).

It does look like onboarding failure, but there is so much you can do to steer the customers towards the right path. I am not completely convinced that this was Docusign's fault.

Well, I guess 'DNS flag day' is a catchy name, and the text is intentionally FUD-y, so it has better chance of viral distribution. I just like the concise summary on ISC page better, needs less scrolling.

So, this is just a front-end for https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp, which is a front-end for https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/DNS-Compliance-Testing.

I kinda get the need for a web frontend for a C program (portability is an issue), I miss the point of the second front-end. Why?

Well, if you think you are a non-conformist or a rebel for asking about a blogpost on NSA intranet, then I applaud you.

Do you want to get your name on a list?

Because that is how you get your name on a list.

This is purely anecdotical. Short-term rentals exist mostly because of high hotel prices (well, and poor hotel service - but that is already covered by the high price, as 'high price' is a term relative to the quality of goods).

I always check prices on hotels and airbnb, and I mostly book airbnb. Because it is cheaper (even with fees and everything).

I have switched to decaf espresso (for pretty much the same reasons as outlined above). It does not taste as good, but it is close enough - so it is a satisfactory substitute for regular espresso.

It is, but without the desire to monetize your searches.

Just scroll down - the whole site is filled with questionable 'data insights'.

Which City is Adding the Most Jobs in Your States in CA? San Bernardino. Oh wait, it is percentage mapped to region size, not to population - so going form 1 to 2 employees in a hypothetical empty but vast region would be a 100% growth, and nice peak on the map.

Percentage of people living in extreme poverty in Russia and Kazakhstan? 0.0% (hint: it is actually no data)

It is either a troll site, or a good example of data misinterpretation.

Usefulness of static code analysis beyond linting is greatly overstated (by people selling static code analysis tools).

Exactly. You cannot make it without luck (you need to be in the right place at the right time), but you greatly improve your chances if you are at the right place most of the time.

This is not a big problem. The fact that p2p protocols are not push-notification friendly, and can eat through your battery in the background is much bigger issue.

Signal is server-based and not federated, tox is p2p. Matrix seems to be a closer match to what tox can do.

> The Signal Protocol is a non-federated cryptographic protocol that can be used to provide end-to-end encryption for voice calls, video calls,[3] and instant messaging conversations.

> Tox is a peer-to-peer instant-messaging and video-calling protocol that offers end-to-end encryption.

I actually prefer a date-based approach to release naming. Given continuous flow of kernel development, I would advocate for releasing a major every year, a minor every month, and patches as needed. Gives you better indication of how much behind you are by just looking at the version.

Not really. They lose money by sponsoring some markets, they can just stop doing that and become less aggressive.

They made a choice to lose money and grow rather than break even and slow down.

> any other product in the history of the planet that gave people the ability to hide information so completely that the government could never look at it.

Any volume-level encryption?

The paper just says that Fermi estimation method is not applicable in this case. It does not say that there is no life, it says that is not the right way to estimate life existence. You can as well flip a coin, and then be amazed that aliens do not turn up when you guess heads right.

This is disgusting. I mean, publication of private diaries is disgusting.

Fuck you, Rosenkranz. I see why Hamlet did not like you that much.
