If everyone turned off their lights 100% of the time they left their workstation, they could power those additional data centers for about one second.

Based on title, I was figured it was referring to USA moving to the metric system

I can only do a verse every 15 hours? Why the rate limit?

Still 256K input tokens. So disappointing (predictable, but disappointing).

"Although I was invested in this project, I definitely wasn't "flirty sex chat with some random scammer" levels of invested. The thought also dawned on me that part of their playbook could even involve "Aidana" calling for phone sex.

Either would be crossing lines that I didn't want to cross, meaning that I'd stumbled upon an unexpected 4th rule of engagement: don't talk dirty with scammers."

Rules of life to live by.

Without venture capital? Yes. Without $20? Probably not. $20 subscription doesn't need to cover costs of most active user. It needs to cover the cost of the average user (assuming you don't want to put any cash into it yourself...but if that's the case, maybe you don't believe in this idea enough?).

Nope, not a surprise. I've been doing cloud for a while.

What I've never experienced from a cloud provider is a denial at creating infrastructure and told to use a different region.

The Guns of John Moses Browning. One of those where you didn't realize how someone you likely don't know much about has impacted every human on the planet.

If you're that close to publishing just publish already :) This thread is dead in the next couple hours.

Not the saddest; just the most recurring "just ship it" story ever.

$40k learning exercise. And great job shutting it down sooner rather than later when it would have been $200k and your marriage.

I've felt the exact same way after working (consulting) for mostly very large companies. I'd love to do a startup at some point in my career and sometime I have FOMO on that experience. The grass is always greener.

I would not say putting a CloudFront in front of Lambda is a good practice anyway. It highly depends on your use cases (load, frequency of data changes, etc). In general, I probably lean the other way and use a CloudFront only when necessary as it only introduces additional architectural complexity which makes it more difficult to troubleshoot issues. You can also get in a bad place if there are two many CloudFronts in the call stack.

This person likely spent more time writing the review than using the product. I have a remarkable2 and saying you have to give "the sidebar menu a colonoscopy to find the UI to list all pages, then create a new one, then navigate to it" is patently false and just stupid to say. Also, in the comparison between remarkable and pen/paper/scanner, the reviewer leaves out several important features.

- How about an infinite number of pages?

- Or the ability to undo/redo?

- Or the ability to resize?

- Or the ability to quickly send a document to a coworker?

- Or the ability to just be drastically more organized?

- Or the ability to not have to carry around 5 different notebooks everywhere you go?

- Or the ability password protect your documents?

There are lots of reasons a reMarkable is drastically better than pen/paper.

Love seeing some MeatEater pop up on my HN feed :)

Correct, it does have an e-ink display and I find it to be very limiting (beyond what's necessary to break bad smartphone habits).

I use the LightPhone. IMO, eInk takes things maybe a bit too far. The refresh rate is terrible and I have yet to seen an eInk phone that has a good texting experience. Most of the companies doing this are trying to get people off their smartphones (a goal I agree with). But making texting harder ironically leads to me using the phone longer than I would if I had an easy way to send a text.

The battery life and visibility in the sun are both great features. I'm hoping the middle part of the spectrum between the eInk phones and the iPhone/Pixel starts to fill in. Something more along the lines of the Wise Phone (https://techless.com/).

Yes, and the people who went out and did the research, took the photos, wrote the stories, and performed the studies should all work for free too. (sarcasm)

The example you gave is a study from a journal. Quite a difference from "news" as most would think of it (CNN, Fox, etc) which are free.

Did you read the HN guidelines? I can vouch that you're wrong. Someone spent time working on an app they care about and has proven by the conversation here to be interesting to the community. If someone wrote an app on a topic you'd be interested in, would you have flagged it?

Please consider that there are varying perspectives on HN beyond your own and that sharing an app which allows people to study the Bible isn't forcing a worldview on anyone.

I don't see how this violates the guidelines of HN.

Did this get flagged? It went from front page on HN to completely disappearing for me.

Maybe a US thing? Yes, people do this. Quite a bit right now especially because there is a supply shortage so buyers are desperate to find houses for sale. Not unheard to get bid out by cash buyers going well above asking price. So the possibility of finding a home you love before it's listed on the MLS is attractive to buyers.

Yeah, same in USA in regards to most people using real estate agents. But lots of people are sending letters right now due to the supply shortage. This is a more convenient way to do it.

a) you can do it entirely from your computer

b) you don't have to drive anywhere or go door-to-door

c) you get feedback on who opened and read your letter

d) you're guaranteed it'll go to the homeowner, not just the tenant (if it's being rented out at the time)

e) you get a professional introduction that signals to the homeowner that you're serious; more so than someone that just prints off 50 copies of a letter on their home printer and drops them like flyers on doorsteps.

Ok, so you're saying remove the phone number question? It's optional and we have a public flow where you don't register till most of the way thru (click Send Letter button on home page without being logged in and you'll see what I mean).

Thank you for the feedback! Keep it coming!

This is outstanding. Great job. Can't wait to show the kids when they wake up to better explain the continental divide here in Colorado.

Exactly what I'm talking about. That's awesome. Of anything it could've been, love that it was your tractor.

The expectation of a quick reply

Interesting that these were the four types of businesses called out:

1 - B2B SaaS sold on the low-touch model, like Basecamp

2 - B2B SaaS sold on a high-touch model, like Salesforce

3 - Mobile apps

4 - Ad-supported websites

What happened to B2C website where the C actually pays the B for a service?

The LightPhone is working on getting there. I've been using it for about a year now as my primary mobile.
