It also had the worst search UX I have ever experienced.
Most importantly, recording an event did not guarantee you got the whole thing! There were numerous events I was watching from my ‘library’ that did not include the final 10-30 min of action. WTH? Did you really record based on time stamps alone? What year is this?!
As above, she presents excellent science in an approachable manner for non-science minded folks. She also has enough of the technical details for this with the knowledge to be confident she has done a strong analysis.
If you are a parent and haven’t checked her stuff out, please do. (Zero affiliation or connection)
In Dustin’s case, he is being open about his background and perspective. Isn’t that more commendable than trying to feign objectivity?
Clearly you can agree or disagree but being annoyed at his transparency seems to neglect consideration for the alternative.
Having 5% to personally assign can scratch that itch without resulting in an overexposed or vulnerable position
I do something similar but honestly allow too much to go towards the latter. I need to pair back. I am thankful and lucky that my returns have been similar to index funds and not far below (thanks NVDA and NET)
Render has been quite solid and the support has been on point when we have found issues or run into unexpected edge cases. I have been impressed that despite a big raise and subsequent scaling up, they continue to ship a solid product and the platform improvements have been useful as well.
I didn’t actually specify it out, but my third backup is an offline SSD that I plug in every once in a while and store at my office. I only mentioned the RAID for local redundancy reasons.
You are right about the data being corrupted, either maliciously or bitrot. The NAS is not accessible outside my home network, so I think I am ok there.
Bitrot would require snapshots and full backups stored over time, which I could do fairly easily but I am currently not.
If you just want it to work, by a Synology. Mine has been running strong for several years now and has docker images for my unify controller, pi hole and Plex. Took minimal time to setup and none since that day. Love it
Edit: And my encrypted cloud backup in Backblaze B2 was equally as easy to setup and costs a whopping $2 a month for every family pic, video and doc.
I have triple backup, with mirrored RAID for one of those. No effort, maximum peace of mind.
Quad copter that flies out seems ideal.
Minor nit pick, the pilot did not in fact eject. He was literally thrown out of the disintegrating aircraft, ripping his shoulder and waist harnesses in the process. Insane stuff, especially that he survived.
Clearly founders are the reason the business exists, but the whole team is the reason it succeeds, everyone deserves a piece of the reward. Mark Cuban is a famous founder that understands this and distributing gains well before his big win. [1]
One piece of feedback on the terms, 3 month w/ 10 yr window is pretty rough for the company. You will end up with a bunch of random people on the cap table... people that didn't really contribute much in the overall picture. That is annoying as you raise and downright frustrating when you exit. I would suggest you go back to a 12 month cliff w quarterly going forward and maybe set the window at years served, rounding down. My 2 cents.

We included Porter in our post-Heroku research and chose Render. We have loved Render and expect to be with them for quite a while (as we were with Heroku). If they happen to go south as Heroku did, we will find another PaaS... we will not 'eject' to bare metal or self configuration on AWS.
If anyone is looking or just wants to find a place that truly cares about its customers and team, please give me a shot out. We pay very competitively, share company profits and give everyone 3 weeks off over winter. You wont have a 1/10000 chance of your options going to the moon, but you will love the team, the mission and you will never get called after 5.
Hearing him tell the story first hand was pretty incredible. He saw sky, so knew he had a hole… but had no idea it was so extensive until they landed and he walked back there.
Can you imagine the phone footage we would have had from that it if it happened today?!
One big issue with older folks is change. While the Assistive Access might be awesome, making such a significant change will be tough.
Apparently he is a little off. 299,792,458 m/s according to Wikipedia
This is probably the worst omission from the EU law, no limit to the number of times you can be asked.
I told you my answer last time I visited… but you didn’t like it so you ask again, and again, and again. Every time I visit you ask me. <rage quit>
Structurally, we paid them for each award and then they handled the administration of the awards, including concierge service as our employees redeemed them.
The result is that if an employee hasn't used an award, Blueboard was banking the money on their side.
In a 'fantastic' case study in how NOT to shutdown a company, today we (including all of our employees) got an email saying they were shutting down immediately. No mention of returning funds was made, which is the #1 question of any customer of theirs needs to know. A close #2 would be the status of awards that were currently in process or booked, also not mentioned in the email.
Does anyone have further information on this? Has anyone been able to make contact with the team?
We all have our anecdotes about someone that is 'quick on their feet' or 'slow to speak' etc but it wasn't until my daughter was diagnosed with memory and processing issues that it hit home how deeply this can affect people.
While doing a battery of tests, it was determined her 'intelligence' was in the 99th percentile, but her processing speed and working memory were in the 25th and 19th percentiles. That represents almost 5 standard deviations between what she understands and how easily she can process it!
Seeing how truly intelligent she is, but also appreciating the time it takes time for her to put the pieces together gives me more compassion and patience when I am working with people that process information differently than I do.
We chose Render and have been happy with things just chugging along as they were on Heroku.
Their runtime seems to take up quite a bit more RAM, but the IAC is a great addition resulting in 100% consistent environments.
