Barely two months from their announcing a hiring spree... https://www.reuters.com/business/logistics-startup-flexport-...
This seems like a pretty surprising process failure for a mature company like Grubhub, for such a marketing campaign to be greenlit without any guardrails. Wouldn't this be the kind of mishap you might expect from a…
It looks like it could be a binary intended to be snuck in with third party package dependencies and such that you might unintentionally execute within your lambda runtime. It's one thing doing mining at a slow trickle…
A more poignant elegy to the modern landscape of compliance theater I have never seen: > Security Standards. Okta's ISMP includes adherance to and regular testing of the key controls, systems and procedures of its ISMP…
Likely some stressed out buyers paid for overpriced homes given the sharply rising prices across the market (although completely by their choice), and the sellers probably loved it - but that's already par for the…
One could argue that we are doing the followup even to this day (with the China CLEP programme, India’s Chandrayaan, USA’s ongoing Artemis campaign and others). The deed was done, the minimum bar was set and humanity…
India's first forays into semiconductor fabrication in the 80s and 90s were likewise enthusiastically supported by the government (land, incentives, tax breaks and so on), but were ultimately hamstrung by more…

Is this referring to Alexa, or some other product? Have there been any major notable reports about spying happening with Echos? With regards to data collection for ads, personalized recommendations and such, are there…

This is a good principle in terms of reducing the overall blast radius of exploits. But to do this the implementations should genuinely be independent. In practice we may find a monoculture within a hidden layer of the…
The pricing appears to be static per model with a ceiling on the monthly request count, not charged per request. Edit: Actually, I didn't spot the free tier of 1000 requests. I wonder how you avoid the problem of a lot…
There was a good thread on this topic a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23216852 That and Matt Levine's take on it ( https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-05-18/the-un... ) posit the thesis of…
Yeah, given that the article started off establishing how an Estimator was basically an interface with simple rules about supporting "fit" and "predict" and how it could contain anything or do anything, I thought the…
What does a yearly installment plan even mean in the context of a cloud subscription-based service, as opposed to one for which one has already received goods? And first of all, as the OP noted in the twitter thread,…
Don't think OP is claiming that was the reason for the ban, they may be alluding to this separate incident: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23628394 Edit: Agreed, no conviction was involved, so their statement…
Sure, as long as we're not insinuating that's an inherently undesirable thing. We're quite literally on a thread involving a product that collected tonnes of sensitive user data without a clear opt-out mechanism while…

That'd be fantastic in a week or a month. ICUs in Washington and New York are running low on supply as we speak, any help now could buy a medical professional in these areas precious days.

Your musings here are legitimate, so long as you recognize your feelings as a single datapoint and don't mistake them for a general trend, or extrapolate them to the wider population. As a counterpoint, I don't know of…
Benchmark is a major investor, actually. But it sounds like they might be getting the short end of the stick on this deal, like almost everybody else. This case could be quite different from Uber per the thesis of this…
