Agreed. Pair it with glasses (like the Orion) as a connected monitor and you could hack away at a side project anywhere and everywhere. I actually tend to do a lot of coding in bed and would love this kind of setup. Or while on an airplane

I’m doing something like this in my current home setup, but the thing I miss most about multi-monitor is screen sharing on Zoom. I used to be able to just share one entire monitor and could drag windows I wanted to make visible to that disp

Potentially you take both at once: use something like DynamoDB as the storage layer that also supports TTL natively.

I’ve always been intrigued by YC, but the commitment to relocate is hard to justify. I have three kids (with the oldest finishing up her junior year next month). So I’m not in a place where being in SF for the summer works very well for the

This is actually a space I’m exploring. Would love to chat about your use case if you’re interested. Shoot me an email at chris. Domain name revenuehq.com.

I frequently say that 16 y/o Chris would be very disappointed in 40 y/o Chris. But 16 y/o Chris was an idiot. As you touched on, the fun twist is when you abstract the learning so it’s not just “I was wrong about X” but “I sh

We use our minivan for a lot of these things, but I’d love to buy bulk mulch / topsoil instead of the bags. But loose mulch doesn’t play well with the van. I’ve always considered myself a GM//Chevy guy, but I’m strongly consi

Not really since you don’t lose access to prior versions. It’s more like buying the old Photoshop CDs but then getting three years of updates with that purchase.

If one’s taxes only went to pay for this small subset of items, I think your argument would be stronger. A 40% marginal tax rate is not earmarked for these essential services, as evidenced by our decaying infrastructure despite the US gover

I disagree. Perhaps AWS should be more selective in what they choose to launch, but once a service is launched you should have a very compelling reason to deprecate it. This creates a positive feedback loop that AWS is safe —- in the sense

Eh, even corporate GSuite changes from time-to-time. Google products and services are less stable than AWS. I’m not talking about uptime, necessarily, but for all of AWS half-baked ills you know that half-baked service is going to be around

Definitely in undergrad. And also now that I have kids and kids have friends. Invite one other family over and we’re pretty close...

Unless Apple decides they won’t let you. This only works for “Reader” apps. For reference, see Basecamp’s Hey! offering.

Thinking on this, I don’t remember cases for the original Blackberry or Palm devices. I never cased a flip phone. Or one of my candy bar phones. Apple gets really excited to say “thinnest iPhone ever” — but then we (or at least I) slap an O

Even worse, I once had a terrible experience with a product. Arrived beat to hell and very clearly just a cheap product. I left a review (maybe my third review ever?) and it was removed. You can pay for good reviews, but legitimate complain

I love Amazon, but refuse to buy supplements from them at this point. Fraud via co-mingling is real, and I’d rather burn down my house from a crappy wire than ingest powder from an unvetted source. I went back to the old brick and mortar fo

Which they then “sold” to an end user. (Scare quotes because my I don’t believe for a second my iPhone belongs to me; but Apple is kind enough to rent it to me...)

“‘I will x if you will also x’ makes you reactionary and gives agency to someone else to act on your behalf.” This is true to an extent, but I find it unpersuasive. Because it’s basically my main negotiating and parenting technique. I don’t

I’ve had more than one experience where you go to use a hand operated and it’s empty. Then you wonder who touched that thing before you and what did you pick up. I despise the hand operated ones now. Same with mechanical faucets in a public

Ignoring any potential ethical questions, I wonder how that works for state tax purposes?

I went through the MBA program at the UofR. The Strong Museum was one of our favorite places. We ended up staying in Rochester for five years (I worked remotely for three years after the grad program). I have very fond memories of Rochester

I don’t use it as my primary editor/IDE, but it is convenient if I’m on my iPad. Setting up the environment and connecting it to your Git repo makes it very easy to debug in a pinch. I wouldn’t be opposed to a cloud-based primary IDE (

I’m pretty steeped in the Amazon ecosystem. I’m a fan of the Alexa. I watch their content. I use AWS. But I don’t trust it for anything that goes into my body any more. I’ll make a trip to a GNC to buy ON protein powder. I don’t trust Amazo

I found it very clever. This product does not replace your data lake, it flows into your data lake.

Also there is less concern with an auto “death panel” where cost of repair exceeds replacement value. I can’t imagine Aetna offering you $50k to just die already...

They clearly aren’t saying FB login is bad (or they’d just disallow it). They are saying “we want in on the game and we can force it on you.” I happen to have an app out there which we maintain security updates but aren’t adding new feature
