This is the most meta news ever. Hacker news down announced on hacker news :)
Does this compete with or complement their Snowpark feature?

Levandowski: Yo! I'm back at 80%, super pumped... we've got to start calling Elon on his shit. I'm not on social media but let's start "faketesla" and start give physics lessons about stupid shit Elon says like this

Levandowski might not have too many friends in Silicon valley after this ordeal

Re:Ask HN: Should I spin up and spin down VMs constantly? on Saturday April 23, 2016 @01:26PM (#11556448)
Thanks Stephen. Are there any large scale AWS implementations that you know of that spin VMs up and down? Also, besides cost, are there benefits to doing so?

Ask HN: Should I spin up and spin down VMs constantly?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what the right 'cloudy' way of doing things are. Should I spin up a VM on the cloud and use it forever like I do with a physical machine? Or should I constantly spin up and spin down VMs daily? My VMs are stateless.Are there organizations that have chosen one path or the other and have had success? Links to blogs/articles would be appreciated

Wait - I think this is a joke. Please remove this as it can be misunderstood
“one of the biggest embarrassments in F.B.I. history,” - Rightly so..after all the fracas they created

Oops...this is not real news - humor apparently

Thank you. I was confused as well.

Thanks Joeyspn. I am a noob when it comes to SIP and have some specific questions. For example, which of the jitsi product I should be using? If this is not the right place to ask such questions, can we please take this offline? I could totally use your knowledge
Re:Twilio Video – Real-time WebRTC video infrastructure on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @11:38PM (#9378776)
Thanks for your reply. Do you have any recommendations?
Re:Twilio Video – Real-time WebRTC video infrastructure on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @03:11PM (#9376575)
Awesome. Will try it soon. What would HN readers recommendfor near zero latency audio only? Our client needs to connect two devices within a LAN (no throughput issue) but near zero latency. We have tried Twilio PSTN, other webrtc technologies but they all have noticeable (half a second) delay from device to device. Any thoughts?

Can you add the explanations on medium to your website. Currently, I have no idea what a loop is based on your website

Thanks Suhail. It is reassuring to hear from someone who has clearly had success pitching to VCs. I am big fan of the 10-20-30 Kawasaki rule for slides and yours is pretty close to that
Re:How do I find an iOS dev with core audio expertise? on Tuesday December 09, 2014 @06:20PM (#8726535)
I apologize for any confusion, but I thought I posted to Ask HN. Could the mods please move this thread there?

How do I find an iOS dev with core audio expertise?

I have hired from Elance and ODesk before and in my opinion, it seems that the really good devs stay away from it. I have a specific need for an iOS dev with good knowledge of the real time (low latency) Core Audio libraries. It is a very basic app otherwise. Any thoughts how I can go about finding a person like that?

Re:How does Facebook know who I interact with offline? on Friday December 05, 2014 @12:16PM (#8705554)
I just checked that I had never saved his phone number as a contact - I just gave him a missed call probably so that he could have my number
Re:How does Facebook know who I interact with offline? on Friday December 05, 2014 @12:15PM (#8705544)
I actually just checked my address book and it seems I have never saved his phone number as a contact! The only other explanation could be that he saved my phone number as a contact and let Facebook have a field day with it
Re:How does Facebook know who I interact with offline? on Friday December 05, 2014 @11:36AM (#8705334)
I replied earlier - but no, that's not a possible answer. There are close to 100 kids there at the same time. So about 100 parents checking Facebook at the same time. Why only him? Also, both of us are in the pool with our kids (parent-toddler sessions), so no Facebook for us
Re:How does Facebook know who I interact with offline? on Friday December 05, 2014 @11:34AM (#8705318)
Is there a setting for that? I don't remember permitting Facebook to access my personal data. But then again, knowing their constantly changing privacy settings, who knows what they are upto
Re:How does Facebook know who I interact with offline? on Friday December 05, 2014 @11:33AM (#8705315)
Valid point. But then there are close to 100 kids there at the same time. So about 100 parents checking Facebook at the same time. Why only him?

How does Facebook know who I interact with offline?

I got a friend recommendation from Facebook that has me worried about how intrusive it is. This is a person with whom I have NO mutual friends. I only know him because our kids attend swim lessons at the same time (along with 30 other kids). Here is the kicker though, I have not communicated with him using any digital source. We only talk when we meet and have just exchanged phone numbers once...
