"Operational issue - AWS Billing Console (Global) Service - AWS Billing Console Severity Impacted - Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data"

Ok that should be in - if you view the price trend pages now there are different currency grouping options (with EUR being one of them). Hope this helps!

I can add Spain price trends to PCPartPicker. Quick question though - do you want the price trends to cover just Spanish retailers, or should it trend the prices across all of the EU?

They are US-specific, yes. Thanks for asking that - I'll look into updating those graphs to show for the appropriate region/country depending on what country you've selected (on the top right of the page).

Lots of VPNs route through hosting providers. Some hosting providers are more prevalent with spammers than others. But in the end you can only really use it as a scoring measure. It's not nearly binary enough to straight filter using it.

The names changed out from under us. It’s hard because some people expect to see 3.0, while others expect to see 3.1gen1. Whichever one we pick we end up confusing the other side. In the end we went with the current industry naming because that’s what people will see on manufacturer spec pages and most retailers. Had our specs differed in naming between those (even if we were specifying the same thing), we’d end up getting a lot of confused people thinking our specs were wrong. We ended up doing the same rename for WiFi numbering - both those name changes went in about the same time, though I stubbornly held out as long as I felt we could...

There somewhat is - many retailers offer data feeds. The formats and quality vary widely though. Google shopping has a feed format that many retailers implement.

Absolutely loved that book and the sequel. He has another book out now titled _Energy: A Human History_.

Mine was replaced under warranty last week (after waiting several months) - 2017 Model S, AP 2.0.

Instead, they maintained altitude and speed, using their advantage in a dive to execute "slashing" attacks.

Fun trivia that I read a while back: After getting hold of a zero, they discovered that the carburetor design would cause the engine to sputter on high speed dives. https://www.history.com/news/the-akutan-zero-how-a-captured-...

Back around 2001 I took my desktop build (Celerin 300A oveeclocked to 450MHz), installed a giant passive heat sink on the CPU and PSU, put in an 8MB IDE flash drive, and network booted off a server in my laundry room. I thought I was finally noiseless. But the end result was worse. I had coil whine out of my power supply any time CPU usage ramped up. If I was in the same room, I could tell whenever my email pinged the server or if a cron job ran. It was both instructional (why is my cpu ramping and I’m not even logged in?) and really annoying.

Aye. We've got some things in the works to improve that.

I did the same for new account registrations on my site. The humorous side effect was actually LinkedIn. That whole thing where you can auto invite everyone on your contact list... led to me getting several connection invites a day from users I had never personally met.

Glad you like it! We make money through affiliate deals with the retailers we list.

I posted an Ask HN to review my side project PCPartPicker about six years ago. Got great feedback and things grew from there. I went full-time, had to hire employees, etc. Not big like Dropbox, but we made it over the hump self-funded and without taking investment.

Amazon smile actually still generates affiliate revenue. (Amazon doesn't take the charity cut out of the affiliate side.)

Our revenue is primarily through affiliate deals with retailers that we partner with. (We don't run any ads.)

We don't run any ads.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

A bit over five years ago I posted an 'Ask HN' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1883123) for my side project PCPartPicker (http://pcpartpicker.com). I received great advice and many feature requests that would later get implemented.

A few years after that post I left my job to work on PCPartPicker full-time. Then a year later I hired my first employee. Now we're a larger team working toward expansion.

The feedback I got from the original post was extremely helpful.

They weld a metal shoe over each landing leg.

It's in the section (n) just before that, regarding not storing API content longer than 24 hours.

That got me intrigued too. Found a bit more info on it in the comments of a reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/3xtu76/comet_lander_...

Fourth one since Christmas. Two were on Christmas - that was fun.

North Austin here - we routinely get packages from USPS intended for other houses. Once they mixed up mailbox keys so we got someone else's packages, and then had to track down whose key they got, then followed the chain to get to our package. UPS and Fedex here have been much much better in comparison.

I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Using a CPAP was life changing for me. I won't sleep without it now if I can help it, though it did take me a bit of iterating through different mask arrangements. The first few weeks were hard - I slept strangely because I dreamt intensely (and I was told that's normal). Before I couldn't remember the last time I really had a dream. After years of slowly acclimating to not getting real sleep, actually getting good sleep and rest was amazing. It was like emerging from a fog of years that I never realized I was in. Once you get too far in, you don't really realize how tired you were. True, the process to get there wasn't fun. But hopefully you find the end result as beneficial as I did.

Here are a couple videos of MIRV re-entry tests - basically what it'd look like before having a really bad day. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1dDTnszCQC0 http://theaviationist.com/2013/12/27/russia-icbm-test-kura/

It's a place called Alamo Drafthouse. They made news a while back by posting one of their disgruntled customer voicemails on the internet: http://youtu.be/1L3eeC2lJZs

There's a theater that I like to go to that has a policy of no talking and no cell phone use. First offense is a warning, and second offense they are removed from the showing. Those rules are made really clear at the beginning of every movie showing. It's fantastic.

Any word on if/when Linode may schedule reboots?
