It is not that we have built the Internet despite BGP. We have built it thanks to BGP. If we didn't have BGP we would have to invent it :)
If the answer is "no", sell.
"Pay one's dues" "Earn respect" "Part of the in-group"
I am sorry but this is not my experience at all. What you've described is how gangs work, not companies.
I am hired to work on certain areas due to my skills and knowledge. Shitty tasks are everyone's (in the team) responsibility. I am not hired to "pay my dues" and "earn respect" to become "part of the in-group". I'd leave that initiation ritual to other, uh, industries.
They're not just a payment provider though. They offer infrastructure, promotion, a huge locked-in userbase with the means to pay for software, etc
Yeah, I would prefer that personally, but maybe it's just me haha.
So if I understand correctly you're not running TCP inside the websockets, right? but if I'm e.g. using SSH the layers will be TCP-SSL-HTTP-WebSockets-SSH payload am I right? That sounds definitely better than TCP in TCP indeed.
And why do you say "websockets can traverse almost any network condition"? I mean I get that all my remote devices will keep a websockets connection to my "central" server, which is the one that should be reachable, and I can run whatever I want inside those websockets tunnels - is that what you mean? That we rely on outbound traffic to e.g. 443/TCP being allowed?
Also WireGuard is not a SaaS product, it's a technology. You can run IP and TCP inside a WireGuard tunnel, so not sure which approach would show better performance. Have you ran any tests?
Some other SaaS have built products that use WireGuard as core technology and allow clients to (try to) connect directly, thus lowering latency compared to any option with a jump server in between. The thing is you can't do that with TCP. Would you consider supporting UDP in the future to add direct connections (accomplished by e.g. UDP hole punching)?
- Why have you chosen TCP instead of UDP as the transport protocol?
- Why should I use inlets instead of, let's say, WireGuard?
No, he's the one making claims without supporting data or evidence.
He said, textually:
(About the virus) "for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low"
(About the vaccine) "Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally"
You can tell he's passing opinions as facts the moment he feels guilty and adds "personally".
The fact that we don't know if there could be long term side effects with the vaccine doesn't mean it is not a calculated risk. The fact that we haven't waited for 4 years doesn't mean the scientists behind it do not fully understand how the vaccine works and what are the potential risks. It's not a blind gamble.
That's why I think it is important, if you're in for a serious discussion and not for anti-vaxxer histrionic propaganda, to make sure we support wild claims with strong evidence.
The fact that you don't like Bentleys, big houses in Majorca or a specific lady does not make them vacuous or meaningless; not to mention it would be 100% rewarding if those were your dreams and you've accomplished them.
That guy may or may not like those, but appeals to people that would love -or they think they would- those. The same goes for any other dreams we have.
