I think when the dust settles, we'll conclude that Omicron for the vaccinated posed very similar risks as the flu. Keyword of course is for the vaccinated. SF is seeing the highest case counts at any point in the pandemic and yet t

In my opinion, the only useful metric is profit generated We know by observing private equity that the easiest way to hack this metric is by doing layoffs until there is imminent threat of the business vanishing.

My experience with reMarkable was extremely disappointing. If the device works for you, it’s amazing. And if it doesn’t, you’re basically out of luck. That is how I would summarize reMarkable from talking to friends and my own personal expe

I kind of assumed this came with an HTTP api, woops :) I've been using Airtable with Workers for tiny side projects. This seemed like a nice alternative to Airtable's lack of support for vanilla SQL.

(Nevertheless, investing in gold at the current price seems unwise, since its price is many times its "natural" price as commodity...) You left out the most important and contentious part. It is not surprising because the author

You can do this with our Image Resizing product ( https://developers.cloudflare.com/image-resizing/ ) but once you start hitting serious volume, the egress costs charged by AWS can add up (to a multiple of what you are p

This is true but remember, we also have volume pricing. If you're storing tens of millions of images or delivering hundreds of millions of images, talk to us :)

We priced Images to be super affordable for customers of all types. It is hard to do a perfect apples to apples comparison but if you look at Cloudinary’s $99/mo plan for example, you get 225K transformations or 225 GB of storage. If

None of this would matter if the government didn't touch seized assets until the legal process is over. This is especially easy to do with digital coins (vs. say a room full of furniture which could incur not-so-insignificant storage c

ReMarkable left a sour taste in my mouth by how difficult they make it to return. The return flow is unnecessarily complicated and didn't work from me. No response from Customer Service either. I'm sitting with a $500+ hardware I&

How did we go from comparing NYC with SF to LA? None of your arguments around "good weather" applies to SF. I am struggling to see any insight in your comment that cannot be filed under "common myths people spread about homel

Data doesn't back this actually happening, though. If this were true, homeless people would be rushing to NYC. See https://medium.com/@josefow/new-york-decided-to-end-street-h... and https://www.vice.co

Cloudflare Images will be priced along two dimensions: # of images stored and # of images delivered. We'll be announcing pricing details in coming weeks!

Our Image Resizing product offers this already. The Images product (what we announced today) will provide most of the features available with Image Resizing with Variants.

Yes, we plan to support serving images through your own domain though it won't be supported at launch.

I can vouch for this :) From Jan to March (when covid hit), I started leaving my phone at work on Fridays. People would ask me "why not just leave it in another room or in your bag at home?" and I would say "it is not the sam
