sf is insane
2 guys i know co-founded a company
working 140 hour weeks
both wanted to start dating but didn't have time to meet women
they made the efficient choice and just started dating each other (even though they're not gay)
other founders could learn from this level of commitment
@Aella_Girl@PaleoOnc@fdosmither I'd say that your audience changed. Elon bought twitter in late 2022, and if memory serves me correctly, started messing with the platform in early to mid 2023. 3 years ago.
The Orteig Prize put Lindbergh across the Atlantic and ignited the airline age. The Kremer Prize produced human-powered flight. The Ansari XPRIZE opened private spaceflight.

This is going to be exciting!
We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all.
Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed.
Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.
it would only take any X employee roughly 2 minutes to modify the rate limit of the endpoints that contain your private key
then brute force your PIN code in exactly 10k requests and obtain said private key
If you’re a terminal dev you could instantly take market share by dropping fees to 0 and charging $$/m for access
Instantly disrupts the space and easiest path to taking users from axiom
