Thank you AWS. I think they just saved me $85K.

What you are saying boggles my mind.

I grew up right outside of NYC, spent A LOT of time there. I then lived in NYC for about 8 years. I never saw, heard of or experienced what you described. Nor have I ever communicated with anyone that shared a similar experience.

Can you be more specific about what 'neighborhoods' you refer to?

I build my desktops with a lot of ram.

I have chrome, Firefox, photoshop, vs code, docker and a few other things running. As a kid I had to manage RAM. As an adult, I buy enough RAM to not need to think about it.

I was committed to buying an M1 on day one. I won’t buy a machine with only 16gb of RAM.

I'm idling at 18gb right now and doing what I consider to be next to nothing.

I assume that it's related to Google's recent investment in ADT. ADT likely doesn't want Google competing directly with them.

Really?

I'm not seeing anything beyond cameras and a doorbell. No panel, door sensors, window sensors, motion detectors, etc.

No. Covid and the job market make that impossible. I know that if we reopened, I'd lose half my team within the month.

Dear Mozilla,

Please allocate more time and energy towards becoming financially healthy. Please.

There's so much demand for a trusted and privacy conscious service provider. Please look at email, domain registration, web analytics, etc, etc, etc.

Online is really vibrant right now. I'm playing at least 3 games a week when pre-covid I was lucky if I could find 1 game a quarter. With paid DMs everything is so much easier.

I've never seen a GM charge more than $5/hour/player. The premium market either doesn't exist or I haven't been able to find it. It's not due to an inability to pay. I've had DMs push back when I suggest that they raise their prices.

Hey!

I've been a user on the site for about two weeks. I'm hopeful that you'll succeed. Currently my group maintains a discord community that helps us find players and connect with vetted DMs.

Can you please un-SPA your site? It's really hard to use and the current use pattern is to find a DM and move the discussion off your site as quickly as possible.

- The infinite scroll feature makes it really hard and slow to find DMs. - The site doesn't let you open a DM's profile in a separate tab which forces you to lose your place whenever you visit a DM's profile - The profile summaries are unhelpfully inconsistent/dishonest (Professional for 80 years, Hosted over 1M games, etc.) The profiles can't be true and make any sorting/filtering impossible. - The DM's platforms and supported games aren't on the find a DM page. - The DM profiles lack structure and rich content features. Please add a native video embed so that we can see videos/clips. Most DM's offer that by linking to their twitch/youtube properties. Make the profile fields less generic. -- DNDBeyond content share? -- Roll20 content share? -- Audio provider? Discord/Roll20/Zoom -- vtt supported? Roll20/FantasyGrounds/etc

Looking forward to seeing where you go and excited for your success.

Come to Detroit. It's still REALLY cheap and the tech job market was #2 in the US for growth.

Is this the new AOL Instant Messenger or the new Slack?

Doesn't apple own the operating system?

They licensed the OS to you with a specific set of permissions to enable a specific business model. I understand how you would want them to not get paid but I don't see how that's fair.

If a customer wants a different app store, the customer can buy a non-apple device. Apple doesn't have a monopoly in mobile devices or app stores.

I require them because candidates lie, not always intentionally.

The unfortunate reality is that it can be really tough to fire low-performers. I NEED to know that a candidate can do the work. We go out of our way to make our ask reasonable, relevant to the role, not spec-work, not time consuming, and well defined. It's not uncommon for us to learn that the candidate can't actually do what their resume says they can or for the candidate to learn that they grossly overestimate their own skills.

I recently talked to a Python/JS expert that led a project at a major agency to scrape a network of websites, find and extract specific data, and deliver game changing competitive intelligence. The candidate ended up admitting that their role was limited to copying and pasting a pre-built code snippet into the dev tools console and that they couldn't actually read or write any code. The proof is in the coding challenge.

Is someone at Firefox listening? This is a service you can monetize right now.

I assume that at age 66 you still want access to things like medical care, fire departments, etc. What value do you place on that?

Your taxes enable young people to exist/grow-up and extend those services to you. Providing for kids is selfish, not selfless. Until the singularity happens, we need young children to grow into functioning adults that continue and (hopefully) advance society.

That's the phrase I was looking for. Their sales process is impossible.

I used their paid product once and failed to buy it two times after that.

They tried to move up-market and did it in an unreasonably difficult way in my opinion. It was easier to do business with ORACLE and then Google. The sales folks didn't listen, their proposals ignored our requirements, it was a mess.

I hope the staff got something.

I agree with you.

Snowflake is better. Redshift has been really slow to execute. AWS is doing the world's worst job of articulating whatever vision they have for analytics. AWS's message is laser-focused on infrastructure folks and machine learning engineers (not analyst, data scientist, not absolutely anything else).

The higher you go up the stack, the slower and less meaningful, AWS's solutions feel. There is a fantastic job opportunity out there for someone to reconcile AWS's data analytics offerings. They have so much upside.

I'm still not betting on Snowflake winning a direct competition with their primary supplier. For the enterprise and the highly regulated: Redshift is good enough, already there, and they don't NEED the efficiencies that Snowflake makes available.

I can't believe that they will succeed in the long run as an independent player IN the cloud.

They are always going to be less integrated and less infrastructure-cost-efficient than the native options (Redshift and BigQuery), without the R&D budgets and with incremental friction (sales) and risk (data privacy and cybersecurity).

AWS really should get around to buying them, like they should have bought Looker or Tableau or Mode or Fivetran or DBT, etc, ect.

She does not live with us. We have a great relationship with her and are confident that we're aligned on the importance of social distancing. I'm in an at-risk group which makes it especially important that we protect ourselves.

She's been working for our family for a bit over a year. We originally hired her as a full-time nanny when wife decided to do a dev bootcamp.

She has a bachelors in early childhood education/development and is personally interested in crafting positive developmental experiences for kids. Our girls really appreciate her and get a lot of value (and education) from the time they spend together. We'll supplement her efforts with more structure in the form of a curriculum.

It is very expensive (relative to our income). We live cheaply and don't do many luxuries. It made sense for us to invest in high-quality childcare for our girls.

We tried virtual via our daughter's private school and were really disappointed.

We are going to home-school with a private teacher.

We also found a couple of other families that we'll consider play-dates or select group lessons with.

The old guard is very enterprise-y for a reason. Their products are complex monoliths that require mid-six figure investments to get moving. Either you have the staff/dollars/organizational momentum to buy their crap and follow-through or it's not gonna work.

I've spent more time than I'm comfortable admitting with Gartner's favorites in the Data Governance and Data Quality areas and they all suck. Desperately looking forward to having someone not-tied to legacy technology enter this space.

There is no contact on your profile or your site.

I am interested and actively in the market for a solution of this type.

I'm selling a SAAS service that will pull each of your images once every 6 months...thank you Docker.

Braze.

Please sell me an alternative to gmail and gcalendar and docs.

For web and mobile app stuff this type of competitive intelligence is very available (builtwith, datanyze, etc). Also, startups never shut up about who their clients are, social proof to land more deals.
