Before Brexit sometimes the you could buy apple stuff for less on amazon.co.uk than in the rest of Europe because the price was fixed in GBP.

I wonder if it's feasible to build more than one. Y'know for not having all eggs in the same basket.

100K is a small audience. Since there is some competition, you can aspire to get 5-10K MAU. With this audience, you'll need someone selling ads to have a viable business. Probably not just ads, but sponsored content that makes local bu

Funny, I choose OpenBSD (back in '94) instead of Linux as a desktop (text-only) because it had very good documentation available for kernel and userland stuff. I am typing this from Ubuntu because I need some basic Wine emulation, Dock

You can guess this product affinity with a list of previous purchases. Just take a look at the 'arules' R package ( https://github.com/mhahsler/arules ). You don't need to identify the customer. I did some

You are targeted for this because you are in the network of the one who purchased/searched for it. Works like a charm with Facebook and items with a high price tab (like high end phones) because the one who search for the phone advices

Easy to spot: Declining sales (quarter-by-quarter). Firing sales people: too much quotas not achieved Buy-out and mergers: Duplicate roles (HR, common services, facilities mgmt), and restructuration. All-hands meetings (unexpected). Change

I guess I still have the O'Reilly XUL book somewhere. XULRunner was the precursor to Atom. It was the way mozilla bootstraped firefox long time ago ¿before gecko? and they made public the tool to do it by yourself. They eventually aban

Kubernetes? -> learn go. I hope rust will become soon a (really) good place for embedded software.

I remember asian tailors advertised in the Financial Times. They just rented a room near the City to make measuremens an bought an ad in FT to book appointments. That way you could get a nice bespoke suit for less than it was sold in London

The problem with options and stock in Europe are Taxes: rules change from one country to another. As a rule of thumb, usually you'll be taxed for your gross salary (including bonuses) + (value of stock received). AFAIK in my country (S

Spain is similar. 30k max for junior dev. Getting above 50-60k means you're either a hero, or Batman own son.

If you send a different email for every recipient, you get a message ID which you can see in the headers. When mail bounces, you get the recipient _and_ your message ID which made the mail bounce. Usually this bounce emails are discarded; b

I guess mine is a type-conversion class inside an apache beam job. Usually it's running on a streaming job; but when you launch it as dataflow batch job it has 30-40 workers running it at once for several hours.

I was hoping this was made py Palm, Inc (sold to HP?); but It is a different company: Certificate by Letsencrypt, and the TOS say somethong about "Palm Ventures Group".

I guess RAD tools (now no-code) will never fade away from the market. I bet you're getting a lot of traction on corporations that need to upgrade/replace internal tools. I know, internal tools will always suck because: 1) your mar

Do not forget to have a small part of the plants as a control group. I mean, plant that don't get the special treatment (fertilizer/medicine/etx?). If you don't do that, you're buying snake oil in less that three ye

Forget robots. Gather data on how the plans are doing (think lora-wan sensors) and try to minimize both waste and costly investments (like unneeded fertilizers and treatments). Hire a someone who knows how plants grow and when they are in t

Take a look at kafka ;-) Just put the file path as the key and the content as the message value. You get TTL/size garbage collection for free: no need to get/develop a sophisticated client/server.

There are hidden "unicorns" everywhere. Sometime ago I heard Germany had a lot of "small" companies that are leaders in their market niche but you don't have it in the radar. For instance: Hohner (the Harmonica manu

70 people is not much for, except for a vertical solution. If they can sell/co-host big warehouse management like Manhattan at a fraction of AWS, they could succeed.

I am betting they will provide only: - Block + Object storage (can be done with off-the-shelf hardware). - Compute instances - VPC networking. - Kubernetes (o k8s-managed services). - An open-source database. Probably postgress.

Also, retailers don't like AWS. For them using AWS is gifting money to your biggest natural predator.

It is not a decent idea. It is Great idea for a side project; but I am not sure how can you capitalize it. I mean, it gives a huge value to the user, and probably there's a market for it. But, it's a free product to stay i

Didn't expect to see a electron app for this. I don't know why, but I was expecting something based in Java. Just looked at the Github language stats for this project: TSQL 98.5% JavaScript 0.6% PLpgSQL 0.4% Vue 0.3% CSS 0.2% HTML
