Have you looked into the Amazon Kindle Self-Publishing option?[1]

The point about subjecting your external vendor to the technical audit of their security services as well is a good one.

Coming from someone whose goto history podcast is Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, I appreciate you for the suggestion!

I was following a thread on twitter the other day about how facebook's decision to buy Instagram in 2012 was questioned by many. Some suggested it was Mark's amazing prophetic vision in hindsight, some suggested he feared innovation was not happening at FB.

The last email definitely feels like Steve was not happy with how Amazon depicted the ease to use of Android (via cross platform accessibility of Kindle) over Apple's iOS.

> indicate that this drug provided no additional benefit compared to placebo control for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.

This drug has been so politicized recently, and I feel like will continue to be until we see a real vaccine out.

>ability to negotiate is driven by who you can afford to hire, who you know, how sustainable you are

This is a good point, often subtly overlooked when discussing similar topics.

Dunno if it was a genuine question, but I found one that you might be interested in: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28789992/

> handful of devs who passed our interview process with flying colors, but couldn't actually deliver anything once they got in the door. They could recite any leetcode problem from memory, but didn't know how to contribute value to their team or company.

Interesting, why do you think was this the case?

Dulles seems really notorious for this since the article states "About $41 million was taken from travelers, or nearly a quarter of the amount seized nationwide, according to the report. Dulles only accounts for 2 percent of the nation’s air travelers."

The technique I've usually seen succeed is when the author begins by posting an informative write-up about their project to developer focused websites (kinda like the one we're one right now). You'd ideally want to highlight the future roadmap of the project (eg. things that you want to incorporate into it) and ask people with relevant skills to contribute and/or spread the word. All the best!

Congratulations on the launch.

What kind of features are you looking to add in the future? Also are there time limits on how long the videos can be?

This seems like a really useful project, congrats. What are some features on your future-timeline?

I quite like the concept of keeping each video under 2 minutes.

Congrats on getting to the 100-mark! What do you think was the best thing to come out of vlogging simultaneously?

That was interesting, thanks for sharing it here.

Given we are living in 2020, there have to have been efforts or thought-experiments dedicated to archiving YouTube (would love to read about them if they exist). It seems 'almost' impossible like you said, even if we disregard, say channels with less than 100 subscribers (just as an example).

>In fact, it is a herd of ponies, some of which look rather more like full-grown Shires. Nine have more than a billion users globally. Every day people make an estimated 6bn search queries on Google and upload more than 49 years’ worth of video to YouTube. More than 300bn emails are said to be sent every day.

The absolute scale of Alphabet and its services sometimes boggles my mind.

In particular - YouTube where one can't help but ponder about content moderation at this scale being impossible without highly sophisticated algorithms(which also face the heat every once in a while).

Congratulations on the launch, first impressions are good, you guys have a very neatly designed website with focus guiding the eye to relevant parts of the page.

Wow, to unskeptical passing viewer - this was as good as a human written, perhaps at par with someone with good vocabulary. I'm loving this succession of GPT-3 based experiments people are sharing recently.

Looks like a really neat project!

I keep changing my addon list bar the privacy focused ones depending on the support an addon gets. These days I'm mostly using these:

1. Simplify Gmail: Brings the look of the good 'ol Inbox on desktop - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simplifygmail...

2. Behave: Addon that recognizes DNS Rebinding attacks to Private IPs - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/behave/

3. Firefox's Multi Account containers: Lifeline of someone with multiple accounts that need switching. Also the superset of the facebook container - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

4. YouTube's search fixer: a HN user shared this sometime ago and it's been really handy so far. Removes suggested results and overhauls some UI elements to look cleaner on desktop - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-suite...

>This take doesn't deserve the upvotes it's getting

But it sounds good and that feel-good-factor was what the parent comment was trying to evoke. I'd say they succeeded momentarily.

Having a baby is such a crucial and important event in any woman's life that a mandated pre-delivery-full-pay leave seems like a viable mandated right I would whole-heartedly support.

Out-of-state students on F1 visa (be graduate or undergraduate) generally have to abide by certain academic requirements to maintain legal stay.

Historically, for the graduate student subset, a course load of 6 credit hours has always been the minimum requirement for face2face lectures in any particular semester. Under very specific circumstances (read: literally one course to graduation or similar) will the DSOs of their school mention the case on their SEVIS records and allow them to continue. Arguments can be made against the morality of not allowing students with improper internet access to come in. But don't let armchair experts lead you to believe it wasn't always this way. Because it was.

Fair point, why not drop all and become an internet hermit relying solely on RSS feeds? But then again, aren't these feeds addictive? Don't they leave you asking for more? At what point in the discussion of internet content can we truly(as a userbase) call it non-addictive then? I'm the furthest thing from an expert on the matter so for me, a website that opens once a week at 17:00 EST for a duration of 2 hours might even do the job. Can't say it hasn't crossed my mind. This is a very tricky and subjective issue. What do you think?

I consider internet boards like HN a pre-cursor to all dark-pattern-laden "social" "media" today. So yes in a sense, we're all communicating and this is social media. Now, we wait while someone comes to dispute my personal interpretation of the words, but yeah my $0.02 have been deposited.

Is the entry to barrier to new trendy static site generators relatively higher? Or how does this approach differ from them? Having never tried options like hugo I've always wanted to know about them directly from people who've used those.

So it's much bigger proverbial 'blast-radius' lest something happen to CloudFlare? Can you elaborate a bit on that part? I'm interested in knowing more.

On the same topic, who determines the '10 minute' and '8 minute' time scale perfect for engagement and how did they end up with these numbers?
