"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."
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?).
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.
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.
Dig deeper on this. At least in the US, a big part of "full hospitals" isn't sick people, but a lack of staff due to vaccination requirements and people quitting.
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.
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.
