I'm sorry you're experiencing that. I just wanted to push back and say that I don't think it is necessarily a regional thing, unique or more prevalent to the bay area necessarily.

I have this problem too and don’t have a good solution. One approach I’ve been thinking about doing is to just automatically deploy yesterday’s RDS snapshot to a dedicated test instance that rolls over every 24 hours and is replaced. It wou

Haha yeah I no longer use the device, since I use ear plugs. It’s a bit excessive for sure. Glad you got a kick out of it!

Also bonus tip: I’ve worked in open offices for years and this year switched to wearing foam ear plugs instead of listening to music, and it’s a night and day difference in productivity for me. It takes a couple of days to get used to and p

Think about the incredible amount engineering involved to design and manufacture this new card - millions of lines of code when you consider all the design and validation tools used. What a great time to be alive!

Have you considered self hosting on an old laptop (built in UPS ;), and port forwarding your router? Just stick it in a closet, and have backups for importance stuff? Might be good enough for the time being.

Couple of questions 1) how much data are talking about? Can you fit it all on DVD or a couple of flash drives and stick in a safe deposit box? 2) I guess you’ve already answered this question but I’d consider asking yourself if life would b

Very interesting write up, especially for what one might expect to be straight up promotional piece. It's nice to hear that amazon can guarantee the necessary uptime to run a system of such importance. It'd be interesting to compa

Wow that's a great idea to provide a fake admin account, so that you can get usage data. Could be useful even if you don't use prey if you have find my mac turned on.

I think your intention behind recording the notes and the relationship between you and the other person is important when determining if it is creepy. Also if you have a natural deficiency in memory or attention or meet a lot of people it m

I really like the idea of the app because it lowers the barriers to entry for an entire set of people who otherwise might not take the necessary steps to increase their privacy. These are baby steps for sure, but maybe one day all these pe

There is something to be said for using a solid client that is both provider and platform agnostic. You don't get used to fancy features of some client, just to have lose them. It forces you to build habits that work across multiple se

I work at a 5 person startup, so wouldn’t want to endorse that at this stage but maybe if we get to 200 or 2000 employees it’d make more sense. I highly value protecting workers and ensuring fair compensation.

I have a few questions to ask you, which will hopefully help you find a more satisfying answer to your conundrum. 1) What is motivating this change? Are you currently unemployed, looking for new work or rather concerned about ensuring your

The tricky thing about psychedelics is that they have been described as delivering the "placebo effect on steroids". That is to say, the set and setting prior to ingestion directly effects outcomes, so if you want to maximize your

It’s really sad to see companies like google buy companies like nest, or more recently amazon and eero. These little companies build fantastic devices, then the companies get acquired and the elegant products get mutated to serve their new
