Congrats to the Topaz team. This project has had some huge advancements since it launched last year.
Great work Aserto team. Exciting to see this code released to the community.
There are plenty of SWE jobs adjacent to ML that you'll probably fit right into. I specialized in networking in grad school and was always building web management tools for project. Turned out liking the app development tasks better and went that route.

I've built my own authz too many times. The prospect of having a standard framework to do this is encouraging.
Re:Ask HN: How do I get over my fear of taking risks? on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @10:45AM (#30361447)
When you do want to focus time on a side project what's been most effective for me is to mitigate that risk by using stable income from a corporate job to establish savings. Then use that savings to take some time off to focus on a side project.
The outreach from smaller companies seems to be accelerating. I've started getting regular inquiries on an AngelList profile that I filled out 4 years ago and forgot about.
Re:Policy CLI – “Docker” for your OPA policies on Thursday February 10, 2022 @11:13AM (#30288272)
So cool to see work on a common language and infrastructure for solving authorization problems. I feel like we've all reinvented this wheel dozens of times in our careers.
Re:Swisscom to discontinue MMS service on Thursday February 10, 2022 @11:05AM (#30288134)
Is it true that Swiss consumers do not use group texting features? I would think this would be a huge disruption if done in the US.
Excited to see this develop further. It would be amazing to have a searchable destination for extendable policies like we now do with docker images.
Re:Let’s Face It, LinkedIn Might Be the Best Social Network on Wednesday February 09, 2022 @12:39PM (#30275486)
I rarely use LinkedIn but just about every time I do I'm using it find a new job. As far as value for time spent it's definitely orders of magnitude more effective than any other social network.

Can't wait to give this a try when its working. One of my family's favorite board games.
Re:Surviving the front page of Hacker News on a 50 Mbps uplink on Wednesday February 09, 2022 @12:23PM (#30275268)
When I began hosting web sites around 2002 we started with a 1.5mbit leased line. It's amazing how many requests we handled with what is now considered so little bandwidth. Of course the media attached to web sites has grown larger since then.
Re:Travel is no cure for the mind (2018) on Wednesday February 09, 2022 @11:59AM (#30274953)
I can relate to the need for unique experiences... The older I get the more I feel like I need to travel. Especially when most of my work is done from home. I feel energized for weeks after I get back from a trip.
