New comment by matsur in "San Francisco Weighs PG&E Takeover Amid Soaring Utility Costs"

matsur — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:44:52 +0000

Plot here is quite thick. SF selling power to PG&E to distribute was found illegal/in violation of the Raker Act by the US Supreme Court in 1940 in United States v. City and County of San Francisco.

SF shifted to "wheeling" instead of selling power to PG&E and is tenuously in compliance now, but the current set up was never intended when the federal government ceded water and power rights from Yosemite to SF.

Firetiger | Product Engineer | San Francisco | Full time, on-site

Firetiger is building self-driving software operations. We believe the future of DevOps isn't better dashboards (like Datadog), but autonomous agents that monitor, investigate, and remediate issues based on high-level business goals. We are backed by Sequoia Capital and founded by Rustam and Achille, former leaders from Cloudflare and Segment.

We are looking for a Product Engineer to build the interfaces between humans and AI agents running software on behalf of those humans. More here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/firetiger/f5d4ba4b-29c8-4f77-bae8-8...

People were saying the same thing about AWS vs SaaS ("AWS wrappers") a decade ago and none of that came to pass. Same will be true here.

I've used it quite a bit/have vibe coded quite a few "real" things with it in various languages. It's a really nice complement to Cursor-style and claude-code style interaction modalities.

The amount of work required to stand up 330 well connected locations and then operate infrastructure to filter traffic at that scale profitably is more than "tossing" cabinets at problems.

This is on the level of BrandonM's famous comment on Dropbox. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

Congrats on the launch. A small nit re: your pricing: you're charging for data transfer (bytes transferred over a long period of time), not bandwidth (bits transmitted at a point in time).

Very possible there were creds etc accessible in Servicenow that could have been used to move laterally from there. Conjecture, obviously.
