Hey everyone! I work at Algolia and we've heard feedback from the HN community and have made some changes recently that provides 100x more records for free so that you can use larger data sets. We have also made it so that all of the core platform functionality is available in the new free plan (we call it the "Build" plan now) so that you can fully evaluate and use everything before ever having to pull out a credit card.

Would love to hear any thoughts on these changes as well as any other things we might do to help you power great search experiences.

Would really love to be able to run Windows natively on the M2. Anyone running Windows as their daily driver on an M2 via emulation? How does that experience compare to macOS on the M2?

Tableau | Seattle, WA | Sr. Product Manager

Looking for a great PM to take the reins of the Tableau Extension Gallery and grow it. Lots to figure out like what new product types should we add and if we should facilitate commerce. Gallery delivers a lot of customer value already and this is and opportunity to amp that up as well as help grow and enable our partner ecosystem.

Tableau | Sr. Software Engineers and Software Engineers, Developer Platform team | Seattle, WA and Palo Alto, CA (ONSITE)

I lead Tableau's developer platform team and we're looking for engineers (and sr. engineers) to join our growing team. The team is split across Seattle and Palo Alto and is responsible for a bunch of APIs and tools that our customers and partners use to integrate with and extend Tableau in lots of ways.

If you love building things for other developers, please check out the details in the job postings (linked below, note these both say "Senior" but we have a couple non-senior openings too) and feel free to hit me up at bklower@tableau.com if you have questions.

Wow the comment thread on the original MSFT blog post (direct link: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2017/...) is just painful. It's mostly a collection of people who use Windows on their phone crying out about the lack of support for Windows.

Microsoft won't support their own platform (phone) with this. If that's the case then why would any other developer write apps for Windows? Also, I thought the big push was for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that ran on mobile, desktop/tablet, and Xbox. I can understand that you may not want to write a custom app for a platform with tiny market share but "big" Windows still has a lot of share.

This is a great example of how to erode trust.

Very interesting project. Was excited to try this but the quality of the tracking is not there yet. The face detection was off most of the time unless I positioned my camera just right. Then the eye tracking was no good. But they are only using a webcam and doing this right (see http://www.tobii.com/xperience/) requires multiple IR emitters and an IR camera.

Cool to see another company in the AR space! However, their videos that say "actual footage" make the holograms look jumpy and the worry is that could lead to fatigue or nausea. Has anyone tried one of these?

Very interesting article. Makes me think this is a tendency that we should all look for in ourselves since it could be we start pushing harder to maintain our new 'status' of winning.

It also seems a bit sad that we tend to get so wrapped up in our successes that we will start cheating to maintain our new self identity.

Why only 50% of the ad spend? I think the article makes the case that all ad spend is moving to digital. Probably not ever reaching 100% but a lot closer to 100 than to 50.
