tozeur··on SolarWinds hackers were able to access Microsoft source code
Internal builds barely work with millions of dollars and man power invested. I can’t imagine anyone else outside of Msft being able to build Windows lol
tozeur··on Hyundai to acquire Boston Dynamics
It was acquired for the IP, not its earning potential, which in turn Hyundai would be able to monetize.

tozeur··on Sailor pictured with laser rifle on board USS Minnesota nuclear sub
You can easily buy class 3 and 4 lasers which can permanently damage your eyes. I have one for astrophotography alignment. So yes, the protestors are definitely using harmful lasers, as well as the police I’m sure.

tozeur··on Facebook rejects calls to share advertising revenue with Australian media
It’s a massive money drain out of Australia. Look at how aggressively China protects its businesses by blocking Facebook etc from operating in its borders.
tozeur··on Show HN: Ratemydorm.com
Aslema!
tozeur··on Breathing habits are related to physical and mental health
That’s like saying paying for a trainer to help you run 10 miles is like paying someone to tell you to run in around a track N times. There’s nuance at all levels: safety, motivation, guidance etc
tozeur··on Breathing habits are related to physical and mental health
It’s not. When I first walked into the workshop yoga center I was like none of these people have their heads screwed on right. I proceeded the breathework workshop, mostly out of curiosity, and it was transformative. I’m a convert.
tozeur··on MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?
I feel like the continual development of MacOS is making it worse and worse. Similar to Windows, where every extra feature causes more and more complications.

But alas the 1000s of engineers gotta be put to work somehow.

tozeur··on Mount Everest is visible from Kathmandu for first time in living memory
Thanos is that you?
tozeur··on Windows Package Manager Preview
Microsoft is incredibly anal about GDPR. I doubt they’re committing a violation here.
tozeur··on Tell HN: Call Mom
Living overseas I noticed that other countries are much more family oriented. Here in the states (at least on East/west coasts) people seem to prioritize work and career more.
tozeur··on Fast or Slow
Just heard the idea for this on a podcast a month ago! On the My First Million podcast
tozeur··on Are we too busy to enjoy life?
After traveling to 30+ countries and living overseas, there’s definitely an attitude difference. My mom growing up had no running water in a village, yet loved the huge family she was a part of. Now she’s in the states and deals with loneliness on a daily basis
tozeur··on “Out of the Crisis” Podcast
Eric is under appreciated in the same way Steve Blank is under appreciated. They were very early advocates of lean methodologies and customer development (now called finding “product market fit” by the cool kids and VCs who wanted to create their own term).
tozeur··on Magic Leap reportedly slashes jobs and steps away from consumer plans
I’ve had that exact opinion of him for years.

tozeur··on Uber says Levandowski on his own for $180M to Google
Reposting an old comment on Levan’s lawyers thoughts:

> A friend of mine heard his personal attorney speak at a law school class. Even his attorney thought Anthony was a “jackass” for stealing the IP; his defense fell on him being an engineer who, at the end of the day, just wanted to build cool shit and wasn’t malicious.

tozeur··on Opt out of Clearview.ai
Just submitted. Curious to see what they have
tozeur··on SoftBank expects $24B in losses from Vision Fund, WeWork and OneWeb
Precisely. Hindsight is very 20/20. Although about 5 years ago I visited their office as a student and was quite curious to hear they had a multi billion dollar valuation and only a handful of office spaces...
tozeur··on Amazon to suspend delivery service that competes with UPS, FedEx
Patience, my friend. Media hypes up the tech, but the work will take time.

The one video chat app alternative no ones talking about because the majority of HNers don’t work in Microsoft shops: Teams, with 44 million DAU.
tozeur··on Anthony Levandowski ordered to pay $179M to Google
A friend of mine heard his personal attorney speak at a law school class. Even his attorney thought Anthony was a “jackass” for stealing the IP; his defense fell on him being an engineer who, at the end of the day, just wanted to build cool shit and wasn’t malicious.
