Companies and individuals with adjustable rate debt are going to feel this increase. For companies it not only impacts their interest rate, but also their ability to stay ‘in convenient’ with their loan agreements, and to obtain renewals. It means less discretionary cash for their customers as well. Those of us old folks who vaguely recall the early 1980’s remember the follow-on impact of successive rate increases - and make no mistake the Fed is just getting started; and is being joined by other countries engaging in similar efforts to control inflation.

Another possibility: There will be events/actions (or have been) the US doesn't want attributed to it's military that could start a war. The audience could be domestic, foreign, or both. The message could well be true.

Russia has suffered a string of military mishaps that defy coincidence. China tensions are at an historic high.

This is no time for misattribution.

Application #300-something at PNC bank. Informed today they ran out of money and cannot make loan. We will survive this - hopefully - and I will close my PNC accounts. There's. That's more consequence than I can deliver to China whose output I cannot do business without, and who is far more responsible for this mess.

Hazel... File organization. Bitbar... Menubar status of everything. Amethyst... Window manager. Cloud9 IDE... Cloud based Dev and deployment. Integromat... Blows the doors off zapier. Mixmax... Gmail enhancements incant live without. Hellosign.

Not impressed at all this iteration. I may have to wait for Pixel 5, or I'm tempted to return to the iPhone solely so I can take advantage of the Apple Watch. I had hoped for better specs, better phone design, and most importantly - I'd have liked the fingerprint reader to have remained. I really don't want to be a voluntary part of facial recognition.

Not really. The integrations are node-up, meaning the SAAS creates its own integration as value-add to its customers; and there's some user growth that emerges from being in their catalog. But, you point is somewhat valid in that many of the integrations tend to be shallow - so apart from a few key functions it can be tough to use them for complex workflows.

StandardLib also has a community, though not sure how big it may be.

Pricing is a key differentiator. My market research included a pricing analysis and Boomi was priced well above Zapier and other similar solutions.

I think there is a LOT of money ceded to less expensive offerings by 10 or 15 providers (including Boomi) all chasing the same enterprise market. I would've expected tiered pricing to emerge to a greater extent, but haven't seen it.

I watch this space very closely.

Crowded space, but darn few (if any) shared source or community based solutions. Here's a several examples from a market study I did in 2018: Workato, Apiant, Inegromat, Snaplogic, CloudHQ, Boomi, Tibco, Jitterbit, AWS Lambda, Mulesoft, Tray.io, ApacheNiFi, Stringify, Adeptia, Kotive, Cazoomi, Scribesoft and several more.

I really think the community angle is unique.

Zapier has about 1,000 integrations, more than any of their closest competitors and at a price that is far less than others in their space. What you've done here is great! The UX seems better than Zapier and the extensibility & community approach terrific. The key, though, is going to be adding integrations rapidly. I might also stress:

- Bulk actions. - Sync actions.

And support for other programming languages (eg. python)

Hope that helps.

"Attacks, vulnerable, incite, hunted, forced."

This is exactly the kind of divisive, exaggerated language that is the problem.

Latino's are on the brink of becoming the majority ethnicity in America, enjoy record unemployment, are a key player in family values, and are increasingly represented at the top of the power structure in the US. Conflating the illegal immigration dispute with ethnicity causes the problem.

At no time in history have Trans had more rights and acceptance than now. It's not a simple issue to put it mildly and there's going to be a lot of back and forth on how the Trans community integrates before its a non-issue. Celebrate the success to-date and progress to come.

Most conservatives don't care what you are. You be you and let us be us. We really want to be left alone to do our own thing.

Money.

Both sides raise money by stoking emotions - usually fear. This leads to a LOT of exaggeration of conduct, risks, etc.

The largest demographic glued to news channels is easily motivated to donate based on emotion and fear - our aging population. By way of example, most phone scams have fear-driven messaging and are targeted at this cohort.

Want to reduce your stress AND keep informed? Understand and accept that politics is foremost about money and getting you to open your wallet. Discount messaging on both sides as you would advertising for soap, a new phone or medication.

I don't want to minimize the impact of foreign interference here. Many countries seek to manipulate messaging, yes. Nevertheless - its the billions required for elections that drives the ugliness.

I route emails to Slack using Zapier, which gives us rule based routing, text extraction, and follow on operations.

Most of my time now is spent integrating at lowest cost possible, and minimizing new SAAS adoption.

When you tally the total cost of SAAS, it gets very expensive. I've decided to take the dragon now.
