Time to IPO before the rest of market catches on.

And moving to the next vendor that hopefully does a better job of staying out of the public eye...

That justification isn't as commenable as you frame it.

The same biological impulse fuels the rampant nepotism and open corruption we seem to selectively whinge about online these days.

> Fair Source and Enterprise

Yet another bait and switch plays out - build clout on the goodwill of open source and execute the plan at the opportune moment.

I may understand the decision but I sure as hell don't respect it - cashing out and prioritizing your family, a very human thing to do, at a glance it almost even seems noble.

Great work! A window into one of the most important universe we have created.

Any chance you would be willing to share the source code?

This marketing strategy is getting tiring, every model is more dangerous than the next...

Playing on fear instead of the bright future you are opening up for us all is not the feeling I would want to leave the public with

Curious to see if this ends up increasing the userbase and TikTok's foothold in American culture.

That condition is not in the spirit or commonly accepted definition of open source.

Kubernetes for sure. When anyone asks for a good place to get started with understanding k8s - I tell them the docs should be all you need, then go get hands on.

The stuff is world class.

The limit does seem arbitrary, but just as a sanity check doesn't 50MB seem like a absurd size for a web application...?

New comment by jcstryker in "Linux Running on Apple M1"

jcstryker — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 12:30:21 +0000

Love to see the competition between the projects trying to get linux running on the m1. Though I think they will hit a wall trying to enable GPU support.

I think opening up just enough to enable this effort also serves as some good nerd marketing for Apple. This race keeps the m1 in the news regularly, giving hope to those who want a low-power and performant ARM machine that wouldn't otherwise consider an apple machine.

So pardons are for sale to the wealthy or well-connected. Maybe this has always been the case, but to see it so blatant...

The power of pardon simply further reduces the trust and legitimacy of the executive branch. At least for humans it should be revoked, I think we can still trust the presidency with the power to pardon turkeys.

jcstryker — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 12:07:43 +0000

Feels like we are quickly centralizing consumer chip fabrication into a single company. I guess the barrier for entry is so high and TSMC is just so far ahead.

New comment by jcstryker in "IPFS Support in Brave"

jcstryker — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 22:55:09 +0000

Last few things missing for me to make the switch are: tree-style/nested vertical tabs (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/464) and firefox style per-tab sessions (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/34)

Really excited to see brave adding native IPFS support, though I would hope the team could start dedicating some cycles to some of these core features that firefox has over them.

> The MS account switcher is also terrible. Maybe it’s because I have a mix of outlook-based emails, Azure AD emails, and full O365 emails, but the fact that you can’t easily open an outlook tab for each account is horrible UX.
