yomkippur

We just take 3 meals a day for granted without asking where this movement really came out of. Hint: agriculture/produce won't do well if people only eat 1 meal a day.

Eating one/two meals a day is something that nobody talks about as much as this other food conscious movements like gluten, carbs, now keto. All of this seems driven at pushing demand towards certain sector.

was just gonna ask how you would handle DKIM and SPF stuff. Hetzner? Digitalocean?

nope there are definitely moderators on HN

he means the burner account that submitted this article is doing so to downplay KF's boot from Cloudflare by invoking the sentiments of an old article that really doesn't justify its decision.

phantom_of_cato had all of his replies flagged and removed in today's thread.

You mean after they ruin people's lives?

Obviously they posed enough of a threat to human lives that a publicly traded company would distance them immediately.

Doesn't take much to figure this out. This is not some censorship or content moderation.

It appears people have trouble distinguishing between platforms that promote terrorism/violence vs free speech.

This weird extreme idealistic version of freedom of speech doesn't include harming humans or threatening peace.

Somebody made millions of dollars by rigging the olympics like this. Sports betting on dozens of off-shore locations.

Really crazy how much influence some people have.

think a lot of saas/developer tools/open source in corporate clothing are manipulating opinions, flagging, censoring criticisms. you can buy HN votes/aged accounts like Reddit.

noticed this especially when a YC company is in the submission. its funny because all they are doing is selling to the same buyers (many who are also YC companies) creating a sorta ponzi scheme where you constantly have a supply of "IPO ready" to take advnatage of the bubble which is now bursting and you have increased astroturfing

HN used to be above this. I feel increasingly that many submissions are just purely marketing hidden under a FREE sign.

not a very useful comment. if you got any rebuttal please fell free to share but the second half of what i wrote probably effects your future if you are in YC or a VC.

enjoy the ever costly capital as rates go to the moon!

you are describing different scenarios here with different scope and i did not say to use web console only

I never use terraform. I use web console first and then if something really needs to be automated I use bash script to string together aws cli. If anything gets more complex than that I do not automate it, instead I use CDK to essentially write infrastructure just like any code.

There is a lot of time wasted in learning a DSL and than wrestling with the limits of what it can do. For most infrastructure scaffolding you can get away with just CLI and anything longer should require something as natural as CDK.

I also will never use Azure or Google! Why should I waste time learning DSL and it's syntaxes when I am using the best Infrastructure as Code provided by AWS? The UI is familiar and I can always reach into CLI to quickly experiment and web console for learning what each parameter does.

Sure there is value in using Terraform but I think all it does is just another Kubernetes type of busywork. 20% gain for 80% investment. Not really a good way to spend your hours, sort of like writing tests before you write code from scratch.

We will disagree but I trust my experience than what I'm told to do exactly because I realize these standards are largely just dog whistling junior developers eager to please their managers to get them on a "free" solution that ultimately bubbles up to the C-suite with some McKinsey or Forrester branded market analysis pdf attached with setting up next steps.

Not only has big corporate interests invaded consumer interest, they've hijacked the open source movement, into just series of raising money and hoping for a large IPO payout or acquisition by other corporate whales. This is why these days avoid popular opinions/standards, especially when large number of people push for them on social media.

TLDR; HashiCorp is a good example of how to use open source offering as a trojan horse to boost the personal wealth of it's investors and founders and I am increasingly wary of "standards" or generating voluntary champions within companies to parrot and becomes salesman for a bit of glory and recognition. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. Very few end up surviving the test of time. Relational database and Java is stronger than ever. Javascript took a good decade to become recognized but it's still treated as a different class than boring technology. Boring and straight forward is resilient, novelty and complex is not.
