They do perfectly well, as the newer models use an A15 bionic processor which is the same chip as the iPhone 13. My Apple TV stays on 24/7, with a screensaver in the background, and heat is never an issue. And they were designed to be kept in media cabinets which are enclosed spaces without much ventilation.
looks like a cool product, thanks for sharing.
Apple TV's capabilities as a digital signage tool are evolving, offering a practical, affordable alternative to traditional signage systems with seamless setup and robust performance.
Hi HN!
Dark Sleep was created out of frustration with existing Apple TV apps that didn’t offer relaxing sleep sounds with a completely black screen. Most apps had distracting images, and the light was interrupting sleep. Instead of letting the TV light be a disturbance, it was turned into a feature—introducing a Sunrise Alarm Clock that gently wakes you up with natural light.
The app is designed with simplicity in mind: just a few clicks, no clutter, and a clean black screen. It's used every night for a peaceful sleep and a natural wake-up to the sunrise alarm. No subscriptions or in-app purchases—just a one-time purchase for less than a cup of coffee .
To celebrate the launch, I’m giving the app away for free to the HN community, for the month of September! Just hit me up here to get the App Store promo code: https://forms.gle/cGHDa9RmtuWCskBL6
ABPR is a good product but a ton of inputs, and not geared towards EV newbies who are not familiar with terms like SoC, reference consumption, charging overhead, etc..This is designed to give simple answers to simple questions such as cost to charge at home vs public station, how much charge time needed to make my trip, etc.
Hello HN community!
Finding deals on third party reserved instances for sale on AWS isn’t as easy as it should be, which is why this site was built. This site identifies the best bargains in the marketplace and makes it easy for you to search and compare against on-demand pricing. It was built to scratch our own itch, and hopefully you will find it as useful as we do.
Any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, comments, etc. are welcome and appreciated. Good luck!
aws lambda, api gateway, s3, cloudfront, route53, rds postgres, express js react, next js
100% infrastructure as code using serverless framework and cloudformation. architecture scales well, is fully managed, and super cheap to run. almost no cost if no users. express + next js + lambda pretenders the ui for speed and seo.
thanks @mtmail! just fixed, should be good now! appreciate the report!
feedback?

Ah, the American way: Why work when you can get the same pay from the taxpayers pocket without having to?
I rather work at McDonalds for half that @dminor and still have my pride, than to be a burden on society.
1. Realize that as a developer you will be in high demand in the workforce, surely you will find something better in no time.
2. Work on your startup idea / prototype during this downtime. It doesn't have to be perfect, just hacked together well enough to provide value to someone.
3. Brush up your skills on sites like Codeacademy, W3C, Tutsplus, etc. Take a few free online university / MOOC courses.
4. Sift through projects on Odesk / Elance. You may find some part time work that may provide some supplemental income while at the same time improving your dev skills.
5. Hustle. Knock on doors. Be proactive. Let your passions shine through. Don't take no for an answer.
My argument is that the results generated are not a product of the skill of the agent, but of the intrinsic demand for the product. Supply is very limited, and demand is extremely high. The unit will move itself, regardless of effort extended by the agent. As an engineer / executive - you would only rather be paid for results if you are a good worker and your output is positive. If your output is poor, or you produce shoddy work, you probably would prefer to be paid for time on the job.
Very valid points here Neuen. But most programmers are paid by the hour - not by lines of code. My argument is that agents should be compensated hourly as well.
Programming is something that is taught at the highest level of academia, and requires a tremendous amount of skill, brainpower and discipline to deliver a quality product. I don't think you can compare it to to showing apartments. There is not much skill required or education to be a rental agent (a few weeks of school and written exam, like a driving test). If you can operate the camera on a mobile device, post an ad on craigslist, and open a door lock - you are in business.
My argument is that renting out an apartment in Manhattan is similar to selling the latest iPhones as soon as they hit store shelves. The product sells itself because of the high demand and limited supply. The skill of the salesperson at the Apple store is not very relevant, which is why they are compensated hourly and not on commission.
Precisely. Argument is that compensation should be based on time and not % of rent.
Agree that outsourcing is necessary to scale, but the commission model does cost the landlord indirectly. The argument is not against the use of brokers but changing the fee structure so that the landlord earns more, tenant pays less, and broker is paid for time. Higher rent seems like an incentive to change.
The math is right, but agree the estimated time to close a deal may vary. Open houses are designed to cluster the showings back to back. And if the unit is priced right, and in a desirable location, it will probably take less than 9 showings to close the deal.
Also, what side costs? Seems to me like the cost of marketing is near $0. A physical store front or location is not required, and other expenses like phone, internet access, metrocard are likely to be incurred whether there is deal flow or not.
"(significant) downtime between clients" - Are you saying the agent should be compensated for the down time when not working?
I'm not implying that agents are churning out deals every waking minute in the same way that an Uber driver probably doesn't have one customer after another. There is too much competition and too little inventory for that scenario to be realistic. But the time they are working, the amount earned is not proportionate to hours contributed. And I don't doubt that some top tier agents are bringing in 6 figure incomes.
This business is a popular profession for part timers, moms, aspiring actors. My argument is that for the time they are working, its disproportionate to other occupations, because they earn a commission on a very high figure.
Is there more 'work' or hours involved renting a 2 bedroom for 8k vs. a 1br for 4k? Seems to me like the process is identical.
Working at the Apple Store is also a sales job. Why is there no commission then? Because the product sells itself. Manhattan apartments are in the same arena - the virtue of it being on the tiny island sells itself, if priced properly. Even the best salesman could never close the same deal if the identical unit were across the river in NJ.
On a property sale, the owner is choosing to pay a broker to list, show, market, etc. A licensed broker is required to gain access to distribution via MLS. If the owner wants to show it themselves to save the commission, the are free to do so. In the rental scenario, the customer has to face the 'extortion' of the broker to gain access to the unit. They are not hiring the broker to save them time as with the sale.
The is accounted for in my plan. Showing 9 prospects means that the deal didn't work out for 8 of them. And 6% fee is fo sales, not rentals. Phone calls and travel is a fixed cost now as both are now unlimited for a monthly fee, and most likely incurred whether there is deal flow or not (most have mobile and monthly metrocards regardless). Please clarify your last point...
You make some good points. Many agents work a specific neighborhood, and lets also remember that open houses are typically on weekends and showings are clustered together.
Sure, the broker has some basic expenses, but there is really no cost of the good sold. A store owner pays the same fees, and also pays for cost of a good.
Exactly the point where in the old days, pre-internet - brokers needed to pay for marketing- classifieds in newspapers, signage, etc. Now the cost to advertise a listing is $0.
