> you're giving them crap for it

Wait , what ? My comment started by "Thanks" that's a weird interpretation really...

If you have 1000 companies following the course that's like 10% chance of getting funding, regardless of whether or not there is an equity that's the point.

I wasn't aware of this , thanks for the info.

Nonetheless , the API seem to be behind the original. Hence interop with JavaScript seems incredibly messy and time consuming.

Thanks YC for doing this.

>100 companies who complete the course will also receive $10K.

Depending on your location and what position you are in your career , Funding can be a big issue.

This small grant can be a big help to start a business , but 100 companies is quiet limited to be honest.

> With Google’s history of abandoning efforts like this, I wouldn’t spend too much effort using any language developed by them.

Well , to be fair Go is becoming a major server side language and I don't see Google abandoning it any time soon.

That being said , Dart is basically on "life support" has of now , there is no SDK what so ever beside Google + Firebase , and I haven't heard anything from AWS / Azure or others vendors to support Dart + Flutter.

I feel like everyone is basically waiting for the language to take off to actually invest in it.

I'm afraid it will end up like Xamarin , a niche tech that will eventually die out because very little people accept the ecosystem that is forced on them by using the framework.

I'm fascinated as well by that.

I don't know why , it reminds me of that one time where an engineer applied for a job at Google and had to go through about a dozen interviews.

Ultimately he was rejected by them.

> I am not sure why developers are not hot about it.

Because it's designed entirely for enterprise customers. If you have a startup you have very little reason to choose OpenShift compared to Heroku or AWS honnestly.

I still love Redhat tho.

> The API is half baked

Doesn't surprise me. Cosmos was too good too be true :

- Serverless - Infinite Scalability - Mongo API or Gremlin API or SQL API

It's obvious that it can't hold up to all it's promises.

> it’s just exactly the same as all the others

Yup , this article is basically similar to the already existing thousands of "Entrepreneurs" stuff existing on Medium.

>How to hire your first workers, or how to manage them

It's really sad these days we cant get things that are actually intellectually honest , people are "ok" to "open" about stuff that has been written about X Million times , but now how about they fail to manage X or Y or choose to hire X instead of Z and turn out wrong.

Really sad.

> because it's purely a marketing concern, it means nothing from an architectural standpoint

Serverless computing is an system architecture design that focus emphasis is abstracting the entirety of the infrastructure to let developers focus solely on code.

Per say , with AWS Lamba + API Gateway + S3 developers can create Web Application that usually required EC2 Servers and web framework like Spring , Laravel etc...

Apps hosted on AWS with EC2 requires strong knowledge in system architecture and system design . They also are quiet complex to scale , monitor and manage.

Serverless abstract all this and lets you focus only on code.

AWS Lambda is self healing meaning when a function crash , only that function crash not the entire server , API Gateway is managed by AWS it won't crash ( or very unlikely ) S3 , as i'm concerned , as never let me down.

Meaning I could author an entire application similar to Hacker News without any "Server" logically speaking, technically speaking there is always a server just like NoSQL doesn't mean "NO SQL" but "Not Only SQL" and is not buzzword :)

Interesting concept , don't know if this is something that would work outside of germany though , because of how dependant it is on the culture of the country between owning something and renting it.

I'm very curious to know if product come in a generalist box with the company logo on it or if it's sent with the original box that is sold with product ?

>My guess is Oracle Cloud will make the most aggressive bid

Not sure , it's also about sells arguments.

Governement often runs on Oracle because it was the most popular RDBMS at the time with enterprise support. So this is a massive argument technically speaking to convince customer : "We'll migrate your oracle DB and infrastructure for you , we have the tooling for that".

> Often times companies are legally barred from disclosing this information.

You are talking specifically about the financial and banking industry. Working in the banking industry , compliance regulation prevents banks from communicating about why your funds are frozen so the SEC can investigate and determine whether are not a fraud or suspicious activity were committed.

Such thing does not exist in the IT Industry. Microsoft ran their in house auditing tools , determined the account was suspiscious , set a flag "is_suspicious" as "true" in their database and the next day a batch ran and suspsended their account.

IT Audit for GAFA is 100% automated , there is no human interaction unlike Banking , Insurance and Finance.

Hence, the fact that BFA must communicate after the investigation about what fraud you committed to properly charge you in court and banned you from the services( You can even be banned in an entire country from owning a bank account depending on the severity ) but they must tell you why.

That is not the case for tech, it is completely unregulated which is why it's making me this upset.

>"We canno't provide details about why your account is closed and won't reactivate it"

This type of behaviour should be banned by the European Union.

You should be provided with the exact reason of why your account is being closed , regardless of who is the provider of the service.

It's unacceptable that companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Airbnb feel entitle to behave like this knowing how critical the service provided by those companies are for some organization. Plus the fact that those suspensions are usually done automatically by an algorithm powered by Machine Learning or something similar.

This type of mechanism could destroy an entire organization if the account of CEOs , CTOs, CFOs are suddenly locked down without possibility to access their emails , their contacts, their meetings and others business critical information.

This is outrageous.
