Their desire to build everything from the ground up is stupid. The physical door lock has been optimized for thousands of years by countless companies. The only way you're gonna make it any better is with new technology, so take a regular lock and bolt ur magic sauce onto it!

Edit: switched to link without AD cancer

Embargo is simply a way to make sure the huge, rich cloud providers don't have their reputation tarnished at the expense of everyone else. "Stay with bigco, we fix things before everyone finds about it"

If you run into a language without grpc support you just standup a JSON proxy and pretend it's REST.

They need to get a handle on their supply chain and stop outsourcing so much of their product listings to shady third party sellers. Shady third party sellers go hand-in-hand with fake reviews. Most reputable brands don't want to get their hands dirty with that stuff. It's guys making margin on reselling that have all the skin in the game and most of the incentive to manipulate the system.

I've never gotten a fake from any brick and mortar or online merchant that sells direct. Only places I've gotten fakes and been duped by rampant fake reviews are eBay and Amazon. Once a competitor gets their shit together (I'm betting on Walmart) and has an equally convenient online store, Amazon will be the Myspace of online sales.

People have loyatly to brands but not the company that sells them. If something better comes along I'll switch immediately just like I did years ago with ebay

Still a neat feature I guess, but IMO it's not worth the additional mental overhead of implementing it.

A lot of problems in JS and it's typed derivatives go back to it's 'structural' type system where every object is a key-value collection and objects with the same keys and values are interchangeble.

I really wish the ES standard would just introduce a new variable type that has nominal typing and ditches the prototypical inheritence chain. You could only use it with new code but since transpilation is the norm these days that doesn't matter much

And those Android phones are made by companies around the world. Samsung phones send data to South Korea, Hauwei to China, etc... Some Android phones are sold without Google's apps and send nothing to their servers, so you're not really correct on that.

You have to think that for each person hired probably 100 others spent months of their life preparing for the interview. What a massive waste of human effort.

I can't wait till somebody rebuilds it in Typescript or at least around async

Over the last 10 years networks buffers have become gigantic and sending packets as fast as you can causes standing queues that can be a dozen seconds long. This is where the lag comes from when someone on your LAN is uploading/downloading.

The lag actually gets worse with higher connection speed because the devices tend to have even bigger buffers.

BBL and to some extent VEGAS are smarter going about things. They attempt to maintain constant latency instead of maximum bandwidth. For a few percent less connection speed all the buffers stay empty and delay stays minimal

Combined with fq-CODEL, BBR finally offers a way to load balance traffic on your NAT without allowing someone to monopolize bandwidth

Sounds like their marketing wasn't great or they ran out of runway.
