This certainly could be uncomfortable for Musk.

barlo | 4 years ago | on: Tell HN: Coming soon – “Meet the Batch” threads for parallel Launch HNs
That’s a simple and elegant solution. I believe this is much like how threads prefixed ‘Ask HN’ already work, too?

Oracle has this in some (all?) of their new postings:
> This is a remote/office based position which may be performed anywhere in the United States except for within the state of Colorado.
barlo | 5 years ago | on: What happens after a bank closes all of your credit cards?
The credit reporting triopoly in the US really needs to be looked at, and likely restructured in some fashion. Three private enterprises should not have this much control over a consumer’s ability to interact with the economy.

Following the Adobe playbook?
barlo | 5 years ago | on: I found black-hat content marketers: sockpuppet bloggers, fake Reddit/HN accts
I think the Reddit and guest blog post part of this are pretty well-known and even heavily advertised, even directly on Google Ads.
Try searching for 'buy reddit upvotes' and you'll get ads for services that do exactly what you're talking about.
barlo | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Consumer WiFi router options in 2020
I'm a huge fan of MikroTik. The RB4011 is fantastic router at the price point and even has a 10G SFP+ port. Great hardware.
The configuration UI isn't the best, but they also have a full scriptable CLI that isn't too bad. Huge future set. I just wish they would move the newest version (7) along quicker in development.
barlo | 5 years ago | on: AT&T is selling your phone calls and text messages to marketers, how to opt out
Thanks for this!
As an aside, they have a terrible UI/UX for this - it's probably on purpose. They could have easily put all of those permissions on a single page.

APIs appear down, as well.

> "Another downside," our source added, "is that some clients block Trello which can be really disappointing after you've just built a big board together."
Why is Trello being blocked?
barlo | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Will domains always cost this much in future?
It's like real estate, the prices are set based on the market and demand. The TLD is comparable to location in real estate. Prices will only go up for the major TLDs.
barlo | 5 years ago | on: Is Reddit doing mass bot suspensions?
I'll never understand how Reddit remains so broken in so many ways.
I've been using Reddit Ads recently, and the UI for it barely seems to work. The dashboard updates days later with incorrect information. Crazy for their main revenue source to be so flakey.

Really impressive guy.
barlo | 5 years ago | on: Mainline Linux on the MikroTik RB3011
This is great. Tempted to try this on a 4011 with the 10G SFP+ port. Mikrotik makes some awesome equipment for the price.
barlo | 9 years ago | on: The impossible task of creating a “best VPNs” list
I've use both; I have several dedicated servers with OVH in their BHS datacenter and several instances with Vultr in their NJ datacenter. Both are great for the price, although support can sometimes be lacking.
OVH also has two cheaper brands for dedicated servers to checkout - SoYouStart and Kimsufi. The two cheaper brands have much more limited support.

It's real. It's their commercial offering.

Simple has been fantastic for me the past two years or so; give them a shot.

barlo | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: What will IPV6 migration actually look like?
ELBs in EC2 Classic support IPv6, but not ELBs in VPCs, as of now at least. You may already have known this but I figured I'd point it out for others: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/Devel...

I know both Simple and Capital One (their credit cards, at least) offer near-instant iOS and SMS notifications of all transaction.
