shdh··on Zillow CEO: startups trying to disrupt real estate commissions will fail (2012)
>I also think realtors have a demographic tidal wave about to hit them, consisting of first-time young home buyers and some slightly older home sellers who are used to online transactions and want nothing to do with realtor-mediated transactions.

What platform will facilitate these transactions?

shdh··on Huawei Could Divide the World
Define well educated. I’ve met highly intelligent university students from China who did believe in the Chinese system and authoritarian regime.

The west highlights the authoritarian nature of China, not the fact that it is non-democratic.

shdh··on What I learned from reading a thousand emergency room bills
Profit not service. The system has zero incentive to reduce inefficiencies. Its designed to increase overhead and deliver surprise bills.

The American system is largely a joke where doctors rather collect their co-pays and write prescriptions.

You can take your RDBMS to any server you want.

You can migrate your RDBMS to any other RDBMS you want.

This is like saying using an ORM locks you into using that ORM.

> I would not be against a mandatory mental health check up for our highest officials which includes some sort of mechanism to remove them from office if they are determined mentally unfit to serve

Think about how much more awareness there is now in terms of mental illness, anxiety, stress, mental degradation, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia.

Every country in the world should have these sorts of checks and balances. It isn't a matter of ageism either, it is a matter of sane policy and checks & balances.

Cool product.

What's your stack?

Is the persisted request/response information encrypted in any way? Any chance of a locally hosted version being available?

What is your growth strategy? Who are your competitors? How long have you been working on this product?

> The CI is pretty but it's definitely not a polished product, e.g. the job progress indicators are unreliable on most pages,

I agree with this, they need to do a better job of updated those circular indicators.

> the "retry" functionality for failed jobs periodically does nothing which forces developers to touch their branch with a push to trigger a rebuild,

Not sure when you last used their CI, but I've never experienced this issue.

> the horribly named "tags" feature is a source of constant confusion for developers new to gitlab who are trying to trigger jobs based on git tags only to discover that "tags" in gitlab-ci have literally no relationship to "tags" in the sense of tagging a git commit.

A tag created through the GitLab web GUI is directly connected to `git tag`

> It's also impossible to do something as simple as trigger a job only for tagged commits on a specific branch or skip certain steps in the pipeline based on what happens at job run time. I like many other aspects of gitlab but the CI is definitely less than ideal.

I think you should refer to the manual.

Reads like a subjective hit piece.

>Their only innovation is "free private repos" and "cramming 9 different domains into one product"

They have one of the best CI/CD products out on the market right now. git versioned yml/docker based jobs with multiple stages.
