I mean you stretched the numbers as much as possible (garbage collecting the ISS? LOL!) and you still didn't get there.

And anyway, none of this matters, because the relevant OP specifically said "speed".

So the plain and obvious conclusion is: False.

wow, this is one of the most pathetic comments I've read on HN. You've clearly stepped beyond your area of knowledge and are trying to cover it with ego.

I feel I am doing right by our community when I say to you: You are not as knowledgeable and important as you think you are.

I agree, but only if I compare to airbnb ($120B), doordash & roku (59B), or maybe the more directly comparable snapchat at 95B.

Perspective is skewed by the stock market doing crazy things lately. Reddit doesn't get the benefit of that.

dodd's stream shows that more clearly https://twitter.com/Erdayastronaut/status/135674067395381658...

You sure talk in certain terms. I would think someone claiming to understand the issue at such a more sophisticated level than WSB would know better than to think one can fully understand the situation. Regardless of the outcome, there was a pile of gold to be made with your certainty if there was any credibility to back it up.

Do you have a finance background and relevant expertise, or are you just another armchair critic getting his word in...looking at where the price has moved and arguing "of course it has!". in this case, what makes you any different from those you're condescending?

It's new territory for all of us, why pretend otherwise?

I'm wondering the same thing.

The article only says this:

"Purposeful internet outages generally have a distinct network pattern used by NetBlocks to determine and attribute the root cause of an outage, a process known as attribution which follows detection and classification stages."

To me they just drop some silly terms and fail to actually explain anything.

"not doing this to make a quick buck"

yet its a blog site absolutely new-years-eve-plastered with ads and user hostile content

sounds like Ubik

I'm torn, to be honest.

I like keychain, it makes Safari the only browser with password management I trust. Browser dev history has been littered with poor implementations. I want to say Chrome still stores shit unencrypted, but this is just what I recall off the top of my head from reading tech news. I'm no expert, and that's pretty much my point. I trust keychain and don't want to write a phd thesis on how secure the other options are.

I like the ios integration. Other browsers offer this, but it's just another account to worry about - do i trust this company, will they still be around (and still be trustworthy) in ten years? browser history is the most personal thing I do on a computer so this matters a lot to me. (I guess both of these points are just tldr walled garden)

The lack of good adblocking kills it for me. It's too much of a sacrifice, even with a pihole running at home.

Also, as you said, they move slowly. Not just with shiny new tech, but also basic privacy things like if I type "old.reddit.com/r/embarrassingThingsImInto" or whatever, why are they still defaulting to http, and waiting for the web server to decide to upgrade the connection (leaking the initial request)? Why is defaulting to https hidden away in the developer menu? Developers are the only people these days who should be dealing with http anyway, and in those cases there's probably a ".local" at the end they could use to make a determination.

I think it's a fair description to be honest. Granted, it's not some always running process grabbing your keypresses across different programs, but it is still a horrible privacy violation that is operating without most people's understanding.

Accidentally screw up a copy-paste? ctrl-z as quick as you like, it's too late, one of your passwords has been sent out to google...

It's a bit of an impassioned description of the feature, but this is a comment on HN, not some company press release. How neutered do we have to be that we can't make a point with emotion behind it. It's clearly much more hyperbole than "immature" or dishonest, is all I'm saying.

I wish you wouldn't clutter up the comments with this spam. Make your argument once, do it well, and let us decide for ourselves.

He expressed a different political view 10 years ago so nobody should use a browser he started? Am I allowed to have javascript enabled?

I suppose you use a browser coded in rust by mother theresa?

Reading your comment really takes me back.

"STEM undergrads > non-STEM undergrads"

For me, this superiority complex heavily tainted the open campus, freedom of thought feel colleges strive to represent. Constant bragging about whose curriculum is more challenging is one thing, but suggesting without a whiff of substantiation STEM majors wont spread covid as much because they "understand the science and mathematical models"?

I feel like I'm back in the school library trying to focus on my work while some loud, insufferable 20 year old with zero work experience two tables away decries sociology majors.

Unfortunately, people will remain more interested in a bigger paycheck than personal integrity.

Interesting to hear the other side. Are you an iphone/mac user? I know the Apple walled garden makes some people feel jittery, but I have to say when it comes to HomeKit I feel much better off overall from their playing hardball with device manufacturers when I look at how sketchy other home auto stuff is out there. I'm thinking the cheap Chinese stuff off Amazon that won't work without their "cloud".

That's not two things, it's one, and I just don't see Tesla self driving panning out anytime soon. They've made wild claims about it for years now, but the actual product has progressed slowly. There have been far more failures than successes in that field over the past decade, and it's perpetually been given a "just a couple more years" timeline.

Thanks for the link. I'm new to JS, but it seems funny to me how the first block of one-liner functions reads like it's just making up for how awful the JS standard library is.
