Thanks for this Alex! Will definitely check this out. DynamoDBGuide.com was a huge help to me when I was learning serverless last year to build wanderium.com. There's definitely a learning curve for DynamoDB but the performance is real

Very sad indeed. I haven't found anything comparable with global coverage or historical data support that's reasonably priced or has an easy to use self serve UI.

It's unfortunate for Hipmunk to just be turned off despite its founders trying to buy it back: https://skift.com/2020/01/14/hipmunk-co-founders-spurned-by-... I remember being pretty amazed by its UI bac

I find it a bit funny how many people in here think Disney sucks now. The tech/developer crowd clearly is not their audience (which is fine). I personally think Disney has done a good job with the Marvel acquisition by taking some pret

In most states dealership cars typically have dealer plates which only allow them to be driven during test drives or by dealership employees. How do you handle that?

I listened to this podcast series too! So, so interesting, especially as an Asian American and understanding how that period of Japanese colonialism affected the rest of the region.

If you think London is good, wait til you try the subway in big Asian cities like Taipei, Tokyo, or Seoul.

But the whole point of me using Contentful is that a non-developer will have an easy time editing content within Contentful vs. having to set up a local way of accessing those markdown/yml files through a git repo. Or do you somehow ab

How does this compare to Contentful? I've been trying to combine their headless CMS with Middleman but it hasn't been that easy to use, although the experience I'm trying to create is non-standard (imagine a normal blog post

We've been working on a product more oriented towards "everyday" remembering instead of hardcore educational learning called Remembered.io ( https://remembered.io ) It's meant for use cases like reminding yours

Thanks! That was helpful. I agree we can do a better job with the copy on our landing page. I use Anki as well for learning Chinese, but the use case is different for me. What YC company are you referring to?

Hey HN, we built this recently because we saw a gap not being filled by calendar/note/todo apps. We noticed that even after writing down notes/ideas we wanted to remember, we’d forget them because our brains just aren’t good

This was the first thing I noticed too. It seems like an odd mix between Bootstrap itself and Facebook's styling. For example, the box-shadow when focusing on text input.

Yup, agreed. Here's a great Freakonomics podcast on the upside of quitting that's quite illuminating: http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/09/30/new-freakonomics-radi...

Yup, 3rd time here too. This was our first time applying with TwoSides ( http://www.twosides.co ). No worries though, we should all keep plowin' along.

From what I understand, Chamath is okay with cashing out by selling your stock, but what the AirBnB founders are doing is just paying themselves a dividend of $20M (essentially just paying themselves a lump sum out of their funding round an
