Nice detective work. What I'm referring to is the subject of the second link, "TextDrive is back."

And bad press again when Dean Allen popped out of nowhere to save the day with continuing the lifetime hosting (but shared.) I don't quite remember what happened as I don't use shared hosting. I believe people actually got their s

> Working visas allow people to take jobs from locals, which not what “digital nomads” are doing. This is an important point. What do anti-immigration people in the US complain about? Immigrants taking jobs and benefits. That's it.

The payment status not available message was (still is? I don't need to check it anymore) a general error message. Also noticed the page is running Google Analytics. Might that be a privacy issue?

My argument boils down to "don't call it stand-up." And I think this basic argument still jives with your counters. What's the title? "Live Stand-Up Comedy from Home" What's the domain name? comedyfromhome

Love this comment and totally agree. If a service such as this takes off, it will look much different years from now. I'm just criticizing the early ugly attempts. You're right.

A substitute to stand-up comedy isn't stand-up comedy. Call it something else. Don't do the same thing and expect that it will work. Post this service in the stand-up subs in Reddit and to see the responses from actual comedians.

There's an art to stand-up which is different from podcasting. Just like there's a difference between being a live vocalist and podcasting. Look at Bill Burr's podcasts for example, they are far different from his stand-up. P

Let's be honest, this isn't even close to stand-up. If there isn't a live crowd, it's not stand-up. You need that feedback and the regular drilling to find your voice. Stand-up comedians find their "voice" by d

If it's subscription only, then it's not a better paying alternative. It's a different monetization method altogether. Thanks for the clarification on how the service works. That's interesting, I'll check it out.

I want to be happy about this. I look forward to a future where I never have to see another fire hydrant, bus or stop light. At times I identify so many traffic landmarks I feel like I just went through a commute to get to the thing I wante

Is this spam? You created an account just to post this link? Did you read the article? I looked through the features and this appears to be the same dime-a-dozen-me-too app which doesn't have the one feature everyone loves about Roam.

This is yet another example of a case where no matter how many people are working on a problem or have worked on it, that there's still room for improvements which create an explosion of a positive response. I can't believe that n

This seems like marketing hype. Lt's create some new food thing which allows us to put some flash claim on the wrapper. This seems to be aimed at a health concience crowd, maybe the sort of thing which would be in special displays with

Right, it's still an unknown, which is why there's such a great concern. As I have said before, if you are going to make a bet, you need to know the odds. We don't know the odds yet. This also means that we can't be sure

I haven't used Azure much. But because it's Microsoft, it's going to be a default option for a lot of customers who are entrenched in the MS world. AWS is complex also, but I remember when you're only option to launch an

They just raised $100M and they aren't yet profitable. The markets will judge. And that judgement is still out until they become profitable.

Echoing a lot of other comments here. I don't get why DigitalOcean exists. I would never use them over AWS, GCP, or Azure. They can't beat anyone on cost or functionality. I'm not convinced on simplicity. The other platforms

I have given up on bookmarks. The feature works for simple usage. Like tabs, it scales to a certain point and then it transforms into a different problem. Bookmarks might be best used as a sort of "saved tab state." Or maybe saved

Yep, text file(s). The key is flexibility and putting an effort into something you're going to stick with. A single text file works. Multiple files work. You can accomplish a lot with just the features of the OS, like the window manage

It would be great if these sorts of posts would include a description of what's big about these releases. If you were already excited about this Guacamole release, then you probably didn't need the reminder. Looking through the no
