rohan_··on Microsoft and others tell crypto platform not to tokenize their stocks
what teeth do they have to enforce this? hyperliquid is "banned" in the USA, but i imagine a VPN can can get you around that ban
rohan_··on Java 27
Wasn't the discussion about greenfield projects? Or by greenfield do you mean internal greenfield projects at existing companies that already use Java?
rohan_··on Java 27
This is quite the take - i doubt most startups building in these spaces are using Java.
rohan_··on We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility
follow the discussion around this on X, i think just a few minutes of research on this topic / reading past the headline you'll find out that this is pretty much a nothingburger
rohan_··on We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility
you do realize "rare books" in this context most likely means random technical manuals nobody cares about and not collectors items, right?
rohan_··on Universal Health Coverage Could Save $1T and 114k Lives a Year, Yale Study
How on earth have administrative costs been soaring when there have been so many healthtech startups propped up in the past 10 years to bring down the cost of administration?

Also - given the rate of AI progress, shouldn't we see this cost go to zero essentially.

rohan_··on Controversial creators are benefiting from monetization programs run by Meta
It's not like traditional media is any better. At least with social media platforms the means of producing media and building a following has been democratized.
rohan_··on Intelligent people are better judges of the intelligence of others
i've found this to be wrong a lot actually

high empathy means you feel what you think the other person is feeling,

Highly empathetic people have horrible theory of mind issues a lot of the time.

rohan_··on Untaxed Wealth of Richest 0.1% Is More Than Assets of World’s Poorest Half
seems highly editorialized - one man's "untaxed" is another man's "following the incentives of the system"
rohan_··on You can now play Grand Theft Auto Vice City in the browser
is this some WASM magic?
rohan_··on Thoughts of a Neopagan / the Reconstruction of Neolithic Religion
FWIW Hinduism is alive and well today. The vedas come directly from the ancient steppe cultures
rohan_··on Tunnl.gg
Does this just wrap cloudflare tunnels?
rohan_··on Meta buried 'causal' evidence of social media harm, US court filings allege
These discussions never discuss the priors, is this harm on a different scale then what preceded it? Like is social media worse than MTV or teen magazines?
rohan_··on .NET MAUI is coming to Linux and the browser
I never understood these types of things, what niche are they going after?

This feels like it could be a competitor to QT, but without a real-time operating system like QNX, what's the point?

React Native won out over Fluter, Java Applets lost to HTML5 / JS, Framer is much better than Wordpress.

Time and time again, clever simulations on top of the native world are never worth it.

rohan_··on Affinity Studio now free
Isn't everyone using Rive these days?
rohan_··on Claude Skills
Cursor launched this a while ago with "Cursor Rules"
rohan_··on Show HN: ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT
is this stuff not pretty easy to do with python?

``` python -c "import base64; print(base64.b64encode('$INPUT_STRING'.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8'))" ```

rohan_··on Anduril and Palantir battlefield communication system has flaws, Army memo says
yeah i don't understand - they spent a few months building a prototype... do people not understand what a prototype is?

This sounds like a nothingburger.

rohan_··on Landlords Demand Tenants' Workplace Logins to Scrape Their Paystubs
IT's policy is more for unauthorized credential sharing to a third party that is not legally acting as a designated data transfer agent. what argyle is doing is legal and fine.
rohan_··on Ursa: A leaderless, object storage–based alternative to Kafka
Was the key unlock here the ability to append data to an object?

(https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/11/amazon-s3...)

rohan_··on Why not to use iframes for embedded dashboards
i don't understand this product - i feel like tools like v0 can one-shot an analytics dashboard these days. i do think something like https://upsolve.ai/ provides real value though
rohan_··on Azure API vulnerability and roles misconfiguration compromise corporate networks
Anecdotally - working with Azure has been hell on earth for me. Insanely unintuitive and buggy interface. Many cryptic errors preventing me from doing anything.
rohan_··on Containers are available in public beta for simple, and programmable compute
Don’t host your website on containers, that’s what workers are for
rohan_··on Show HN: Bhvr, a Bun and Hono and Vite and React Starter
Nice- why hono over Fastify?
rohan_··on Sponges, drill bits and wires: Surgeons mistakenly left objects inside thousands
not to be pedantic, but the examples you're describing are _process_, not _culture_.

Examples of culture would be: do nurses feel comfortable speaking up / questioning the lead surgeon? do surgeons feel like they can voice when they're overworked without fear of being perceived as a failure?

rohan_··on iPhones Could Cost Up to $2,300 in the U.S. Due to Tariffs, Analyst Says
The price of an iphone has remained constant over the past ~20 years. It's arguably already fairly cheap for a device that is so important for everything we do (especially considering that there is marginal benefit to upgrading every year these days and an iphone from 5 years ago still functions fine)
rohan_··on Show HN: Hatchet v1 – A task orchestration platform built on Postgres
How close to Postgres does this need to be? Like could you host this on Aurora DSQL and have unlimited scalability?

Or how would you scale this to support thousands of events per second?

rohan_··on Supabase UI Library
supabase has the most schizoid brand. They should just embrace the fact that mobile devs don't want to do backend for their crud app rather than trying to be the "everything backend".

why are they releasing a web component library when React Native doesn't even have a decent UI library? Like who are supabase's customers again??

rohan_··on How to Delete Your 23andMe Data
sure - so this isn't a unique complaint with 23andMe then? We should be deleting our data from Dropbox, Google, etc...?
rohan_··on How to Delete Your 23andMe Data
If 23andMe is bounded by the legal system - why shouldn't we trust them the same way we trust Dropbox not to sell our personal files?

No one has been able to explain this to me.
