Do you roughly know the relative ratios of emission for the sources?

Alternatively, I will reply to myself at that point in the thread. Just have to make sure you don't include this when conversing later, which isn't a problem as I generally reply to the other person's inbound. Sending myself

Signaling respect based on how much status a person has is not about respect, its about status. Unless you also dress up for e.g. serving soup at a soup kitchen.

It's possible he succeeded in spite of these behaviors, not because of them. The only difference in the two interpretations is our own initial biases.

It might be ineffective, or the subconscious bias we all have might automatically lower the person's status. IOW, they might have this effect normally. If that feels unlikely, it's because it is. But we have very little way of k

You and I sound very familiar! I also have plans for personal dashboards using redash for everything from weather to a shared calendar. Also plan on putting it in a display in a Magic Mirror for aesthetics... but who has the time! Couple

Were you deploying using a Python webserver (e.g. SimpleHTTPServer), or was it nginx routed to an app server?

Wouldn't a job queue solve both issues? You could either make the data science stuff async (and spin up more servers as necessary). Or, with a job queue, you could use a go webserver to push requests into the queue for processing in

I'm confused as to why you loved it, if it added no value. Do you mean that you emotionally loved using it , but on an actual examination, realized it didn't help you manage your money? my experience: I felt like I was a Respon

I'm super interested in this solution, can you expand a bit on your motivations and help me better understand the problem? I see a lot of times, people export to Excel to do their own analysis. I think there is something about doing i

My major takeaway was how cheaply they tested this idea. Waiting for someone to sell this as a provider-as-a-service to VCs, so they can quickly get a real world estimate of TAM. For $1k in spend and a day's work, they had a nice data

I encourage you to consider how your statement, "I don't trust Microsoft," sounds to a higher level exec or department head. I don't mean this as a criticism -- I notice there's a tendency for ICs to state their op

Thanks for replying! I don't tend to do that type of work anymore, but I'm still stoked to see a solution to the problem I had frequently. I think there's a great service to be built (and maybe it's yours!) that dedupl

It'x a brilliant piece of marketing from MS, if you think about it. Many decision makers, even in spaces with HIPAA data, have no real idea what it entails. They are frightened of screwing it up. What Microsoft sells is a "good

I've had a similar idea in the back of my mind for a few years now. Congrats on launching! My use case is a bit different -- I was doing a lot of database cleanups, particularly CRMs. I rewrote/reused code to build a duplicate d

Your first customers will be sold to in person. Let them tell you when something is too expensive (then discount to make the sale). If they aren't commenting on your pricing, you are charging too little. Also reconsider your pricing

I generally see <1% for first engineer hires. In order to hire someone who can 1) do the work initially and 2) grow the team, I think a 5-10% grant with a salary that's 60-80% of market is appropriate. At least, that's what it

Isn't it in a read-only partition, where, by definition, you wouldn't be able to reuse the space? Wouldn't it only be users at their storage capacity who would be affected?

Similarly anecdotal, women spend a lot on clothes. My actual point is this type of discussion doesn't really add anything. It's difficult to prove, and prone to an extreme amount of bias combined with generalizing from a small sa

What works for me is to do things by hand, until all the possible information I might want to share is present. I call it my inventory. Then work on refining, editing, deleting, modifying. Separate the creation from the editing/commun

Interestingly, the rat park experiments have been reinterpreted. I am not an expert, but I believe one acceptable interpretation is that rats with a sense of connection and socialization don't press the levers as much. We are all lotu

It's as valid to say that eating your free lunch provides strength and saves energy to support you on the way towards the goal. There is nothing inherently praise worthy about suffering. Preferring comfort does not make one weak. The

There are slight transaction costs of $0.18 - $0.20 that is not refundable. Miniscule, but it prevents some domain tasting at scale.

It's less obvious that the high temps are caused by climate change. Directionally, it makes sense -- but how much of the delta temp is variation?

Upvoted you, because why not throw around internet points! It's easy to forget that things that are basic to some are extremely advanced to others. As HN grows, it draws in more diverse backgrounds; many of which don't have much

This is not limited to Silicon Valley. Every predictor since before Nostradamus has used this to their advantage. Those who haven't lose their audience, because predicting the future in concrete terms is really hard. So hard that no

I didn't downvote, but your comment came across as dismissive. Personally, I think there's a world of difference between the aphorism of "correlation does not equal causation" and actually understanding how causation wor

Stronger unions also have their issues. I strongly disagree that union-only shops should be allowed. While I may be free to quit a union job, it feels quite gangster to say that I have to participate in one to take a job. I don't thi

Because it's evidence is pretty straightforward: you can take wikipedia's list of important inventions and plot their frequency on a chart. Of course, there are debates around which inventions count as significant. And there is r
