This is so lame. It's not up to you to define what's a "real hacker". Building and breaking are not exclusive to each other.

Cool, I got "The Lean Startup" as a gift, but haven't read it yet.

Who is the target audience for your books? Is it founders? Or is it for people who want to be founders?

Listen, frontend developer, there's this thing called "npm", you should look that up.

Yes, iPhone has some clever depth technologies, but that doesn't mean it can't be tampered with.

That won't work, a camera can also photograph another screen or a fake printed photo. And also cryptographic modules can be cracked.

Why is Outlook email search so bad?

Stainless didn't do anything new, in fact, there already multiple different SDK generators just as good

Google doesn't need to that because Google is not affected by any anti-scraping provisions, every website literally begs Google to get scraped.

Trademark infringement seems to be rising these days, thanks to AI slop. Surprisingly, the domain registrars and hosting providers don't really seem to care much about these issues.

To takedown something that is infringing your brand, you would have to spend time and money dealing with bureaucratic procedures.

Exactly.

That's not a business 101.

It seems like he's having a database for each app.

Ah yes that's probably true, but still having 30 apps in a single db instance doesn't seem better...

  > 30 MySQL databases (248 GB of data)
  > 34 Nginx virtual hosts across multiple domains
  > GitLab EE (42 GB backup)
  > Neo4J Graph DB (30 GB graph database)
  > Supervisor managing dozens of background workers
  > Gearman job queue
  > Several live mobile apps serving hundreds of thousands of users

He's doing all of that on a single server?!

I'm not against vertical scaling and stuff, but 30 db instances in one server is just crazy.

_el1s7 — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 09:34:35 +0000

That's good, people who need E2EE shouldn't use TikTok either way, there are plenty of other secure apps for that.

TikTok is a social media app, and it gets heavily abused as it is.

This is one of the pains of centralization. And honestly, it could happen with any TLD.
