And marine populations will suffer. Changes in currents will affect shipping. Overall a disaster.

Overall the expectations are an increase in intensity and inability to predict. There is no expectation around consistency. That is why climate change is going to be such a disaster, it's not acutely predictable and it's death by a thousand cuts for us. The floods in Nepal etc are a good example. Very hard to predict, extremely distructive.

When does the USA catch up?

This is not a criticism but I am curious about what the trade offs are in terms of cost/bom etc of using usb-c. I found it surprising that that wasn't a given in 2026,curious where it hasn't caught up as an option.

This smells like a cottage industry similar to detecting soon to be expired ssl certs.

"Oh that thing that was an experiment and had billing caps turned on but we rushed in to production and now the whole business relies on that thing is in an outage and destroying customer trust we've barely earned yet"

I get the flip side but... 2nd order effects oof.

ok... it's an AI company, It'd be odd if it weren't written by AI, no?

I don't get it.

They are saying the announcement means more to them than just a headline that most will scroll past. Maybe you are seeing something I'm not.

Occasionally post reddit content or occasionally post reddit ads?

I'll take the L but it still sorta maps to where I was going with the Mormon angle.

I've been around Mormons, not a religion scholar, but it seems plausible to me the same "one upsmanship" mormons have with missions, large paternalistic families, avoiding "outsiders" (see: homeschooling), etc are common in other religious communities. Like maybe the protestant Christian one you are in?

Describing it as "good reason" is something.

But I don't think you meant it that way.

For anyone reading that wasn't around it was very much an irrational hysteria. The bigots latched on to it to spread fear and justify their dehumanization of gay people. There were people that tried to bring reason and science to the conversation but they were drowned out by the panic/bigotry.

There was no good reason for the AIDS phobia in the 80s.

Not sure if you are disputing something I didn't say but yes, you are correct.

Assuming you are Mormon, is home schooling sort of another form of virtue signaling Mormon families employ or is it more of a way to ensure your families don't get excluded? Like, did you really have a choice in the matter once you realized you either go full Mormon or leave the church entirely?

Alcohol abuse marketed as a social drinking game.

The first thing I ever wrote that other people used was a j2me app freshman year in college. It was a power hour app that played a random simpsons .wav every minute.

I was a pretty poor CS student, in hindsight I'm surprised I got it to work.

there is another drone company too, not just unusual machines. Though not sure which son, they might have put the other son on the other one.

ah very clever to put them on "advisory boards". All of the influence and insider info and none of the paper trail.

FWIW the Trump family has inserted themselves on boards of various drone companies...

Having worked in a hyper scaler on a system to orchestrate hw breakfix, it requires a lot of hands. We replaced thousands of hard drives alone per day... And racks are constantly coming and going. Hyperscaler DCs are busy places.

Maybe I've drank the koolaid but I've done both a lot of systems level work and AWS work (I don't actually use any AWS stuff in my role here interestingly) and I think for a business that needs a handful of hosts in 2 AZs I can't imagine the ROI and risk profile being better to self host.

AWS truly does let you focus on your business logic and abstracts a TON of undifferentiated work and well beyond the low hanging fruit of system updates and load balancing.

I guess put another way, providing a SaaS you need to have an SLA, those SLAs flow from SLO and SLIs and ultimately a risk profile of your hw and sw. The risk of a bad HBA alone probably means a day of downtime if you don't do things perfectly. AWS has bad HBAs, CPUs, memory, disks etc all day long every day and it's not even a blip for customers, never mind downtime. And if you don't model bad HBAs in your SLAs then your board is going to be pissed when that outage inevitably happens.

Now if you don't have SLAs and you like sysops, networkops, clusterops, dbops work then sure, YOLO.

FD: I work at Amazon, I also started my career in a time where I had to submit paper requests for servers that had turn around times measured in months.

I just don't see it. Given the nature of the services they offer it's just too risky not to use as much managed stuff with SLAs as possible. k8s alone is a very complicated control plane + a freaking database that is hard to keep happy if it's not completely static. In a prior life I went very deep on k8s, including self managing clusters and it's just too fragile, I literally had to contribute patches to etcd and I'm not a db engineer. I kept reading the post and seeing future failure point after future failure point.

The other aspect is there doesn't seem to be an honest assessment of the tradeoffs. It's all peaches and cream, no downsides, no tradeoffs, no risk assessment etc.

This is not factual.

Asbestos is not kryptonite. One time exposure is not going to have short term or long term impact to your health.

There is a lot of FUD around asbestos, check out all of the panicked posts on reddit.

Which ones are those?

My large state university still has the same core required classes as it did 25 years ago. I don't think CS programs can veer to far away from teaching core computer science without losing accreditation.

Not sure we can blame fox news, it has like 5MM peak daily viewership...

FB, Twitter, Tiktok on the other hand...

for some. And very illegal for others.

Production scale enterprise HDDs are in the 30TB range, 50TB on the horizon...

You listed things that are differentiators... to your competitors.

But ok, best of luck!

As a counterpoint I completely understand how a founder of a company that is competing with Google on cloud AI cluster services is contributing to the discussion by describing (and I guess looking for feedback, investors, new customers, etc. This is HN...) their inventive approaches to providing similar "credit" like incentives in the article.

Their startup isn't Google. To me, it's interesting to hear how startups are competing with Google.

I'm not a gamer but I remember playing SimCity as a kid... Did game play change in the last ~25 years or is my browser broken? It doesn't seem to do anything? I can load a city and watch it do things but I remember being able to actually build cities myself in SimCity... Is there supposed to be a way for players to... play?

They have that comparison in the compensation view. Unionized teachers make a lot more money.

Is that the right site? Is it supposed to do something? I type a location in the search bar and then it just sits there saying waiting for location...
