I'll stop posting then and if there is ever any reference or link to me on HN, remove it. Thanks. I'm happy to absolutely no contact with HN/YCombinator/related companies if they do the same. :)

I've used Riot as a Slack replacement and setup notification bots. Its effective for the task and I could use the IRC bridge for a similar function. Only reason I moved over to Discord was too many chat apps and the hobby users were al

I use Discord in place of Slack for hobby/non-professional projects. The problem with Discord tbh is I've found it to be less reliable than Slack in terms of uptime/push notifications. It also has fewer devop functions prebui

As an independent, I'm given two choices every election to pick from. I like neither and hold my nose as I vote for the lesser evil. Do you feel I should be held responsible for the actions of Trump given: A) I didn't vote for him

Individual actions by individual actors in the US political system were evil. That does not mean US as a whole is evil. Merely that evil people got into power for periods of time. A country cannot be judged as if it acted with one mind, one

While it has happened, the West's free trade and globalist policies are built on the belief that trade greatly reduces the odds of war. The WTO, the UN, the EU, etc. are all built on the idea that strong/fair economic ties reduce

Yeah but your statements are largely irrelevant to what I was saying. A heavily influenced vote with borderline +/-2% isn't what I was discussing.

They don't do that usually. They just donate to incumbents.

It isn't that complex and to be 100% honest, once you know how it works, its very easy to test for yourself with extremely consistent results. The bans are more a result of me testing their belief in the first amendment for my own curi

Conservatives have a far, far lower bar to censor people than Twitter, et al. (i.e. /r/The_Donald on Reddit) Why does no one call them out on their echo chambers that ban anyone who calls BS? Even their "free speech" pla

The problem with Spaces as static hosting is it doesn't handle index.html/index.htm correctly so you need a CDN with edge rules.

by EvilEndures 8y ago
Sorry. Spaces = Digital Ocean's Spaces product. $5/month. Park a CDN in front of it with Edge rules and you get a similar setup.

by EvilEndures 8y ago
Spaces + BunnyCDN is even cheaper. ;) $6/month = 250GB of static websites + domain registration fees. If you want to get really cheap, OVH's cloud storage is basically free but you lose https. ($.01/GB of traffic/storage

Personally, I enjoy Tasty Bite curries. It may not be the perfect authentic Indian dish you get at a good restaurant but I find at its price point there isn't any real competitor for my $$.

by EvilEndures 8y ago
So you are going to market as an upscale version of TastyBite with no preservatives that sells niche Indian food? I wish you the best of luck with that. Personally, I find a package of Vindaloo from TastyBite, some riced veggies, and a shre

This seems like you are working off of TastyBite's playbook: http://tastybite.com/products/ > The options were expensive, time-consuming, or tasted horrible. Tasty bite tastes decent, takes 60-90 seconds to hea
