Unless I am repeatedly missing it, it’s not mentioned in the article how much money the researchers spent performing the tests. What was the budget for the AI execution? If the researchers only spent $10,000 to “earn” $400,000, that’s amazing, whereas if they spent $500,000 for the same result, that’s obviously less exciting.

The usual suggestions I’ve read about are to disable the “always on” display, disable WiFi and/or cellular, turn down the brightness, limit notifications, and so forth. However, I cannot state how much impact these would have.

Thanks for the link! I’ve been looking for something similar to hack on

cos of Covid namecheap sold my domain to a squatter

Can you elaborate? As a Namecheap customer, this is concerning.

I have not knowingly received any “bad“ purchases from Amazon. Having heard scary stories like these has put me off ordering things from there for sure. But the convenience is just too great for me to give it up.

Maybe I am just fortunate to have not had an issue, maybe the counterfeiters are very good, or maybe I am just clueless, or some combination of these.

I try to stick to only name brand items. If there is a product that looks compelling but is from a brand I have not heard of, I generally look at both their website and other reputable retailers which sell that same product.

I largely ignore the reviews. Not necessarily because they are scammy (which I’m sure they are) but because they are so largely subjective. Reviewers will often give a one-star rating for a product because shipping was slower than expected. Or a one-star because the product didn’t package a standard USB-A cable or didn’t include AA batteries. Or a one-star rating in protest something of the company or product itself. Many times it appears the reviewer did not read the description closely enough, and accidentally purchased the wrong product, for which they blame the retailer.

I almost always purchase from Amazon.com as the seller vs. some Harry’s Tech Supply Store. Exceptions are made if there are thousands of Store reviews and a 95%+ positive rating.

In other cases, I will simply purchase the item from the official brand website, or some other retailer. It’s frustrating that Amazon allows commingling of products from different suppliers and retailers in a common bin. It’s also frustrating that other retailers like Walmart and target seem to have followed suit.

Don’t forget the $1 surcharge for the lactose-intolerant!

With coffee, non-milk substitute, and tax, a latte can run me nearly $8 :(

Yes, just like with hearing individuals, not everyone can spell well.

Often times, just like when reading, one may not notice every single letter in a given word, but with the sequence of letters, autocorrect, and context, the meaning is usually clear.

Yes, as mentioned elsewhere, finger-spelling is common when introducing a new person/entity/concept into the conversation.

Regarding the person's expressions, it's common in ASL to employ very dramatic facial expressions to assist and augment the signs themselves to help the "listener" arrive at the correct understanding and feeling.

I haven’t had an issue with iCloud and use it everyday. I wonder if it’s specific to a certain product or workflow.

But I’ve used other services (Facebook, for example) that interpret my last name as a boolean and throw errors.

Yes, even to food establishments, unfortunately.

The article subheading states:

  Airbnb needed an East Coast home.

Looks nice and clean from what I can see. Congratulations on the launch.

Taking a look at the Product Hunt landing page and the main home page, I don't see any pricing except for the current lifetime offer. I understand if you don't have it nailed down, yet.

I went to the home page and entered by email address to sign up. I got a confirmation email which took me to a page that said:

  Thank you!

  You are subscribed.

Lastly, do I have to manually enter the transactions, or can I upload a CSV or integrate with my bank or ? I understand if this is an MVP so those might be out of scope.

I'm loath to mention this, but although I assume the use of "tard" in the name is to signify delay, some might be sensitive to that term.

Interesting concept.

I tried it out and got the 'We've sent an email to foo@example.com with a confirmation link.' message. It's been about 5 minutes and I still haven't received the confirmation message. You might want to turn some knobs so that the confirmation emails go through sooner.

Or are the confirmation emails similarly intentionally delayed? :)

Looks great!

I know it should have been more obvious, but I didn't realize the text was editable. I was looking for an 'upload your code' button. Maybe put one of those "Try Me!" badges with an arrow pointing to the code like on toy boxes?

What about the case where you're not migrating away, but do need to support multiple clouds for regulatory, failover, customer requirements, etc. reasons? Is there a way to still leverage the first-class features of, say, AWS and GCP without resorting to one of these issues:

- death by abstraction of cloud differences

- teams incompletely reimplementing features on each service

- giving up and going to bare metal

?

I would hope a chief technical officer with their salt would realize how powerful this setup is. Unfortunately, the lack of a cute name, branding, and marketing engine behind it may cause some to dismiss it as 'it's too simple, it must be missing something.'

Would you consider putting this summary in the README? Took looking at the comments to understand the “why?”

Additionally, the demographics on slide 7 point to the majority of founders being over 30. This age group often coincides with a greater likelihood of having a partner, mortgage, children, etc. Thus the risk aversion for that group is likely also higher.

Finding 2+ people with the risk tolerance alone limiting, much less having a complementary skill set, interests, goals, etc.

I'm with you on that.

But my understanding of slide 55 is that requiring a credit card up front doesn't pose much of a problem to growth.

Yes. The origin of idea is the easy part.

Personally, I procrastinate starting a product/service because I feel that I have to have an amazing idea before I get started. (There's nothing new under the sun.)

As this slide reinforces, though, a given person already knows many problems/issues that could be used as a starting point in a product/service endeavor.

A love the idea origin breakdown on slide 17.

Over half of the product ideas (~57%) came from experiencing a problem/issue firsthand.

The percentage tips to ~90% if you also include experiencing a problem/issue secondhand (through friends, clients, customers, etc.).

A measly 8% came from research alone.

There is work in progress to remove the Zookeeper dependency:

Making a ritual opt-in is fine, I guess. Making it compulsory would make me looking for another (competing) option pretty quickly.

Your 7-Eleven comparison is spot on!

I never understood the allure, especially in a city with so many other options. It was a reliable place to get in out of the cold during our trip to London.

My kids loved it, though ;)

That was the first thing I wondered about as well. I can see how making the UI for multiple people would be trickier.

Just like in real life, multiple people working out creates accountability, having multiple people in a home able to use it in tandem would make it much much stickier than without.

This looks awesome and almost exactly what I need.

I don't have the luxury to implement a Mark Wahlberg-style schedule. I have multiple responsibilities (family, work, etc.) and their associated interruptions that would make an attempt at such a rigid schedule laughable.

Something like Reclaim that is adaptive to reality would be perfect.

Any chance of CalDAV integration in the near future? Unfortunately, I am not using Google Calendar (I use Fastmail, FWIW).

Thanks!!!

Now you're just showing off ;)

I'll quit my CTO position in a few months to become a Freelancer

I'd suggest that you should consider a transition from FTE to freelancing over some (fixed?) amount of time vs. a quick change.

Depending on who your prospective buyer is, I would also reconsider using the "freelancer" title. I equate freelancer with the quick, sub-$1000 jobs that are advertised on various "gig" sites. That's not really a pool you want to swim in as it artificially constrains your rate ceiling.
