Hey nerdraging moron I obviously don’t mean every company did. I mean it was common. Many companies, prior to Stripe, did create their own gateways or custom systems on top of gateways. I know because I was there.

“However, Aboulafia noted, such a capability could also be considered a destabilizing development if a U.S. adversary decided to react preemptively to such an aircraft’s existence.”
In other words China and Russia may contemplate fighting WW3 now rather than waiting to be leap frogged. Fun.
Oracle is downright evil in the most corporate way. No one with other options should be a customer or employee. Oracle needs to die with Comcast and the rest.
Microsoft hires thousands of H1B workers for generic roles like project manager and software developer.
Do you really think there aren’t Americans that could fill those roles? Of course there are but it would cost more. A true shortage would not affect Microsoft at all. They have as much money as anyone.
This is a dirty secret of tech that you can’t discuss without being labeled racist or xenophobic no matter how untrue that is.
Social metrics. Would make the Social Capital name genuinely meaningful :-)
The “social response” (HN, GitHub, reddit, ...) to a new project, product, or service is all you should need to predict success at a high enough rate to do extremely well.
It’s not a matter of difficulty so much as conviction and intelligence.
The flaw here is using the wrong metrics. Once a company has found a repeatable and growing business model, it’s trivial to raise money and there’s no reason to pick Social Capital over anyone else.
The big market opportunity is to fund startups at the very earliest signs of success. When all they have to show is some code and a few Hacker News upvotes or GitHub stars.
Someone is going to make YCs returns look weak by funding this early. And nothing would do more for diversity than a low barrier test that is 100% blind and meritocratic.
Nothing to do with START. It's all about the NK war. Do you also believe the story that they recalled 1000 retired pilots due to shortages in recruiting?
And that this weeks evacuation "drill" was already scheduled?
Design by committee vs design by vision. Takes guts to have strong opionions and stick to them.
At almost every company, the primary background motivation is not getting fired. Virtually no one even aspires to great work let alone takes the risk to have a vision.
This is pretty rational. There's just no incentive to risk your neck pushing for quality when you'll just end up working a lot harder for little reward.
It's not related to crypto/tls or net/http. This has to do with sending mail via SMTP. It's totally worth fixing but probably had close to zero real world effect.
Go has an incredible security track record. Out of the box, net/http and crypto/TLS are safe to deploy in production. No reverse proxy shield required.
