Envoy Mobile 7 years ago

You can think it as a cross platform networking library.

From the post.

"Low-level networking improvements like HTTP/2, QUIC, QUIC to TCP failover, gRPC, DNS replacements, push/streaming, observability, analytics, state of the art TLS, retry and timeout policies, etc. take a tremendous amount of effort both to implement robustly as well as to make consistent across all of the Android and iOS versions in common use. Envoy Mobile will provide all of this functionality in a consistent cross-platform manner, especially when paired with Envoy running at the edge, similar to how server-side Envoy provides consistency to polyglot distributed application architectures."

I really wish everyone had a chance to use the autopilot feature and judge themselves. I use it every single day and trust the machine.

Issue is, with every complex system, there are few ins and outs that users need to know - like lane merge buffer lines, sharp lane merges by another vehicle in front of view, etc. Within your first few rides(below 10), users could pretty much guess when it works and when it might have issues.

On labeling the feature, it is marked clearly BETA and wiggle prompt is shown pretty much in all the confusing cases - so alert is never missed for me.

My only gripe is with all these incidents, Tesla is forced to update the feature to make it less user friendly or take out completely. I genuinely feel safe and come home every single day with less stress. Elon's tantrums are not helping the situation either.

As a dad, my killer app on Google Home is playing youtube audio/video. Alexa can't match it. Then almost all the integrations I care are already available on Google Home - Smarthings and Nest.

I tried multiple times playing Alexa, it doesn't come close to Google Home's voice recognition capabilities.

There were few questions about the experience. Though job description has quite a bit of experience mentioned, we are open in considering a good candidate with relevant skill set.

AMA - will hangout different time slots to answer.

but eventually the market changes

Yup. Classic example of innovator's dilemma. These are the opportunities startups need to constantly find and solve.

Proof that simple ideas seem so simple on the surface yet become these big opportunities. What you do with the idea/initial success is what separates these successful companies.

Mark Z may look at the early-stage product himself and conclude that it's not anything special.

I think he already did and bought Instagram & Whatsapp. Yea real threat is when they miss the opportunity.

My travel nirvana: Supersonic air + Hyperloop + Self Driving Car.

This page 2 comment is making me not believe what I am reading. Data stream is not encrypted? Can anyone confirm?

The US military has reportedly been aware of vulnerabilities with pirating unencrypted drone data streams since the Bosnia campaign in the mid-1990s.

Top US officials said in 2009 that they were working to encrypt all drone data streams in Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan – after finding militant laptops loaded with days' worth of data in Iraq – and acknowledged that they were "subject to listening and exploitation."

edit: fixed the format

Few things which led us to avoid file name obfuscation

. File versioning: Dropbox does a great job in versioning, so we wanted retain that flexibility.

. Collaboration for teams: This is one of the most important things that we wanted to address. So keeping file names as is the most simplest solution we could make use of.

Also, we are using keys. So strength of the password is a non issue and makes it much much harder to device a rainbow table attack.

#2 I could definitely change 'ur' to 'your'.

#3 encrypted disk image doesn't allow collaboration. That was one of the main things as I set out to solve.
