This is the only submission from me. You're probably thinking of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12843466.

I cloned that app to show how to build the same thing while also respecting user privacy. And, it's open source.

Thx! I clarified that flickr changes the filename [0], which is different than changing the binary data, but for me a non-starter when looking at places to backup photos. ymmv.

Small test. Uploaded 2 files from my mac. Output from shasum:

  83ade975de96b81d272642740e06480fbc1484e1  DSC_0010.NEF

Downloaded each file from Amazon Prime Photos. Filenames preserved. Filesizes the same. Output from shasum:

Lock-in and missing features aside, preserving the binary data is pretty cool, and it's honestly the most important thing when picking a place to store photos (for me).

The most annoying thing was it treated the NEF and JPG files separately, and showed pictures twice in the UI.

Mary Jo Foley is a well-known Microsoft reporter and has been for a lonnnnnng time (I would bet on 15 years without Googling). She's also sharp and plugged into the tech scene, with the usual savviness to develop sources inside corps. I've met her at a couple conferences. She's probably read a few Asimov books.

What I think the quote shows is not a lack of awareness about other uses of "Asimov" but that much of her stories are copy-pasted from emails with Microsoft marketers. Someone in Microsoft (Azure?) wants you to know about "Asimov"... perhaps an announcement next week? This way Mary Jo looks like she is relevant and you are primed to want to learn more...

Edit: I agree with the facepalm, just for different reasons

The demo is magical. Excellent work!

One question about this FAQ:

   > Does ParseHub respect robots.txt?
   > We're working on an admin panel to give webmasters full transparency and control. We'll have more info soon.

What does that mean? I read it as ParseHub does not respect robots.txt, which as a content owner is a bit disappointing. Would you elaborate on your thinking?

For context, the following are anecdata from other S-1s that show profit (even if for just 1 quarter):

LinkedIn: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1271024/0001193125110...

Salesforce: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1108524/0001193125030...

While browsing IPOs from at least 2 years ago, eToys and Yelp had S-1s with negative incomes:

Yelp: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1345016/0001193125113...

This isn't enough data to draw any conclusions, but it is interesting enough to ask the anonymous internet to finish the research since I'm tired tonight :)
