Web scraping is such an underappreciated art. Unfortunately, it's harder and harder to do little hobby projects since many sites will quickly ban you.

I was working on a music project, trying to use Rate Your Music as the data source. Got banned before even hitting 50 requests (less than one a minute). I should have checked their TOS first ...

A big issue with startups today is that it takes longer and longer to get any kind of liquidity (5 years is very quick these days).

So, in the small chance your startup works out, you only get that equity pay day after half a decade at best.

Is the experience worth the risk and opportunity cost? Depends on your situation

Been using rclone mount for something similar, curious how this compares

Amazing analysis, great stuff. Absolutely terrifying that this has been going on though.

What router do you have that lets you run wire guard?

Depending on where you are, the goods at a Farmer's Market might not really be any better: http://www.tampabay.com/projects/2016/food/farm-to-fable/far...

> Pixelbook failed

This is news to me. How did it fail?

Could this be a sanctioned way to run linux on a Chromebook w/o dev mode?

What have you seen them do?

This is cool, where do you get the data? I see its from NOAA, but what kind of data files do you get from them?

What about non-OpenVPN? Any good option that works well with Chromebook?

Gotta pay for quality, GOOG / FB / etc pay far more than that w/ liquid equity.

I really wish folks would just use kdbx4 as a standard. Or any other format, I just want portability.

Looks nice, thanks for the pointer.

Have you ever considered using a keepass database as the store? Would give you mobile / gui / etc clients. I'd definitely use it :)

Oooh, that's pretty interesting. Shame there is no mobile client.

I've moved from LastPass to KeePass, but the biggest thing I miss from LastPass (other than the better browser integration) is a good CLI client. Lastpass-cli is great, and kpcli just isn't.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good CLI client that isn't `pass`? (I don't want to deal with GPG)

> REQUIREMENTS: Any Chromebook supporting Play store.

Only works because you run the Android app on your Chromebook, not supported everywhere.

> Because by invoking the image of the family, the valor of doing whatever it takes naturally follows. You’re not just working long nights or skipping vacation to further the bottom line, no, no, you’re doing this for the family.

Same trick used by college fraternities to do all sorts of crap.

Because, unlike a news article, the marginal cost of the shoplifted good is nowhere near zero.

Somewhat off-topic: How is Seattle not in the VC investment list?

As a vim user, I'm very excited about LSP. Neovim (close enough) may add native support, which would be great: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/5522

It's possible to do a lot of the nice IDE features in vim (and I'm sure emacs) today w/ all sorts of contortions, but a standard way to get this done would be amazing.

Seems like that in every US city. Biking is almost a lifestyle with special clothes and gear.

Top bracket for California and NYC works out to over 50%, but without free healthcare, education, and retirement.

Total old school videogame vibe, love it!

> natural resources as a economic base

True for Norway, but not any other country in the neighborhood (fine, Scotland I guess)

Both countries are far, far smaller than Russia.

Plenty of US states have small populations, no? Also lots of states are comparatively homogeneous (Sweden has 19% of population as recent immigrants).

Your map clearly shows Europe being larger. Unless you want to completely ignore European Russia.

Very cool. I'm not an expert, but does JPEG generally have a ton of flexibility in compression? Why so much difference in sizes?
