Does this compete with or complement their Snowpark feature?
talltofu··on Texts between Levandowski and Kalanick
Levandowski: Yo! I'm back at 80%, super pumped... we've got to start calling Elon on his shit. I'm not on social media but let's start "faketesla" and start give physics lessons about stupid shit Elon says like this

Levandowski might not have too many friends in Silicon valley after this ordeal

talltofu··on Ask HN: Should I spin up and spin down VMs constantly?
Thanks Stephen. Are there any large scale AWS implementations that you know of that spin VMs up and down? Also, besides cost, are there benefits to doing so?

Wait - I think this is a joke. Please remove this as it can be misunderstood

“one of the biggest embarrassments in F.B.I. history,” - Rightly so..after all the fracas they created

Oops...this is not real news - humor apparently

I wonder how long will other mBAAS service like kinvey survive
talltofu··on JustFab: The Billion Dollar Startup with a Dark Past
Thank you. I was confused as well.
talltofu··on Frontback Shutting Down
Me too..wonder how it can be done. Is this a javascript library?
talltofu··on Twilio Video – Real-time WebRTC video infrastructure
Thanks Joeyspn. I am a noob when it comes to SIP and have some specific questions. For example, which of the jitsi product I should be using? If this is not the right place to ask such questions, can we please take this offline? I could totally use your knowledge
talltofu··on Twilio Video – Real-time WebRTC video infrastructure
Thanks for your reply. Do you have any recommendations?
talltofu··on Twilio Video – Real-time WebRTC video infrastructure
Awesome. Will try it soon. What would HN readers recommendfor near zero latency audio only? Our client needs to connect two devices within a LAN (no throughput issue) but near zero latency. We have tried Twilio PSTN, other webrtc technologies but they all have noticeable (half a second) delay from device to device. Any thoughts?

I just realized that I am a part of this :(

talltofu··on The pitch deck that helped us get an $865M valuation
Thanks Suhail. It is reassuring to hear from someone who has clearly had success pitching to VCs. I am big fan of the 10-20-30 Kawasaki rule for slides and yours is pretty close to that
talltofu··on How do I find an iOS dev with core audio expertise?
I apologize for any confusion, but I thought I posted to Ask HN. Could the mods please move this thread there?
talltofu··on How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?
I just checked that I had never saved his phone number as a contact - I just gave him a missed call probably so that he could have my number
talltofu··on How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?
I actually just checked my address book and it seems I have never saved his phone number as a contact! The only other explanation could be that he saved my phone number as a contact and let Facebook have a field day with it
talltofu··on How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?
I replied earlier - but no, that's not a possible answer. There are close to 100 kids there at the same time. So about 100 parents checking Facebook at the same time. Why only him? Also, both of us are in the pool with our kids (parent-toddler sessions), so no Facebook for us
talltofu··on How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?
Is there a setting for that? I don't remember permitting Facebook to access my personal data. But then again, knowing their constantly changing privacy settings, who knows what they are upto
talltofu··on How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?
Valid point. But then there are close to 100 kids there at the same time. So about 100 parents checking Facebook at the same time. Why only him?

It looks like @Philae2014 made a fairly gentle touch down on #67P based on amount of landing gear damping #CometLanding
