I looked it up and you're right, but it's also striking to me how much they spend on sales and marketing: almost 75% of their gross revenue in 2023!

I am a fan of HashiCorp but as someone who tried to use Terraform Cloud, I can’t help but think they wouldn’t be having this problem if they had a more competitive cloud product. They have a huge (and well-deserved) advantage in distributio

This is basically an SDK for their proprietary CloudFormation product, though, right? It’s not like CloudFormation is open source.

I am a paying Pulumi user. Their tool integrates with a cloud platform and we pay per resource managed by Pulumi. Pulumi is one of several products where I like that it’s open source in case I need to move off their cloud, but hope that I d

I’ve ridden dozens of transit systems across four continents (I happen to collect transit means of payment as a weird hobby). Smelling urine is not a regular occurrence for me on the L or 4/5/6. Which lines do you usually ride? Th

This describes a very sheltered experience of NYC. There are a ton of cultural events in other boroughs. I don’t know anyone who is afraid to ride the subway and wouldn’t consider it dirty by transit standards. I’ve been in NYC for nine yea

Question for frequent movie-goers: is this a trend in general, or just an artifact of Barbenheimer being a social media phenomenon? (All of the anecdotes in the article come from the two movies) The evidence given that it is a trend, pre-sh

Nice, congrats on the launch! I'm probably your ICP -- I live in NYC and have been burned by a surprise bill that was frustrating enough that I'd try a service like this. But after I entered some details to try it out, you hit me

I don't mean to say that a low income person absolutely can't have good credit, but that it's likely to be correlated due to how the system works. For example, a creditor will ask your income before extending credit to you. T

Yep, that's a fair point. I do think that the more popular ccTLDs are probably slightly safer than less popular ones all else being equal because there is more riding on not “killing the golden goose”, but stability of the country (or
