Can it connect to Amazon and extract my purchases and classify them? Almost all of our purchases are from Amazon these days and categorizing them as "Shopping" or "General Merchandise" is almost useless. Someone please l

Unfortunately you need it for some other features of PDFs. For example, if you download the AWS SOC report it has attachments on the PDF (apparently that is a thing?!). You need to open it in Acrobat Reader to extract the attachments. I tri

Yes :) sorry. I used to work for Acompli (now Outlook Mobile) and we hated when people spelled it Accompli. Now I’m that guy

Slightly off-topic complaint: I really wish these features weren't considered "Enterprise" by so many people. Do you have a company that uses third party tools and has employees that leave? Congrats, you're an "ente

The key words were "literally no money". By tiny startup I meant one or two people without any funding, revenue, and saddled with life expenses like rent, food, college savings, etc. I definitely agree that a DB on EC2 is tech deb

I'll take a shot at this. There is always an asterisk under every one of these. Every company and situation is different. If you're a tiny startup or hobby with literally no money, it might make sense for you to manage it yourself

I'd love for any of these tools to offer : #1 Explicit Document ownership. The primary author, as well as team distro list slapped at the top. #2 Document aging. If a doc goes over X days without review by the author or team, it is lis

No pricing anywhere on their site either. Huge pet peeve for me. That usually means it is obscene for non trivial usage. Looks very promising but I'm unwilling to carve out the time and mental energy on the remote chance that it'

Is it literally called “Heros”? I can’t find it. There are so many heros games

Strongly agree. Another VERY similar game is Hexonia.

Saying that none of the "email data" is stored on your servers is a common way mail clients deflect from the real truth that people are interested in. Our email data traverses through your servers and is stored in memory is it not

What does Google (or others) use for an intranet or team documentation? We're using Quip and it is just a black hole where documents go to die, never be seen again no matter how badly you want to find it.

This article is about someone with a family that needs more than a room or condo with friends. If you are in the situation where you can live in a condo with friends then you will do a lot better. Raising a family and owning a home dramatic

The first one is an online gaming meme. It was a hilarious (and highly inappropriate!) clip from H1Z1 where a guy starts shouting “Taiwan number one” at some Chinese players. If you google it you will find it as a first result. Nothing nefa

This reminds me of the awful Cloudfront vulnerability where any jerk can park your domain names in Cloudfront with no verification. One day you'll put one of your domains behind Cloudfront and suddenly they own your website. Scenario:

Much of the savings was from rebate/tax credit programs. I didn't factor in maintenance at all since they are unknowns. My original comment with more details is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18773680

I still have this page bookmarked from when we were shopping for a Tesla. It explains it pretty well: https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/rate-plans/rate-plan-o...

Yes, correct. If you have high energy usage during the day (like family at home all day) it may not be the best plan. Though I do seem to remember their other tiered plan had similar high rates once you break into the high usage tier for th

Yeah it is somewhat misleading, though they do clearly show the true purchase price vs the "Savings price" on the final page after you configure the car. The first few pages sort of bait you in to thinking it's cheaper though

For those not familiar, Superchargers are the exception not the norm for charging your car. You use it to travel long distances, but not typically during your day to day commute. Superchargers are meant to be a convenience to rapidly charge

I went on the Tesla website and configured one for $44k just now. It only takes a few seconds. This doesn’t include the rebates or gas savings either.

A lot of the Python ones seem like fairly poor phone screen questions to me. I like to ask my candidates to solve a realistic problem just like they would if they were working at a desk with me. Q&A where they either know the answer or

The devil is in the details though. Things that can significantly swing prices: 1. Saving $5k by not getting Auto Pilot (The A4 doesn't have it so maybe it wasn't fair for me to include that in the price to begin with) 2. The true

I tried to keep these out of the calculation and discussion since it is highly subjective. For example, I'm the exact opposite of you. I can't stand my Audi interior now that I've ridden in a Model 3. I find the seats far mor

I was surprised by some of the cost benefits of EV. I did a rough total cost of ownership for my wife's Model 3 vs my Audi A4. Over five years (@17k miles per year) it came out to the Model 3 being ~$10k cheaper than the A4 despite the

I have found it to actually not be a problem at all in my wife's Model 3. Almost everything you normally do while driving is one or two taps away and doesn't require as much cognitive load as you would think (Mirror adjustment suc
