    This seems to be the creator: https://synack.me/projects/ . Looks like a lot of hardware and software projects rather than SEO. He’s an infra/systems eng: https://www.linkedin.com/…

    I took a deeper look at the Dataset portion of your product this morning and it definitely piqued my interest. It wasn't clear to me from your original post and my initial scan of …

    > activities and how they relate This is the problem with EAV/nosql/schemaless/etc and ultimately the problem I think you are going to have to solve. Instead of using ETL to model …

    Wish you the best of luck but isn't this just a fancier version of EAV? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity%E2%80%93attribute%E2%80... IMO, it doesn't matter what kind of db techn…

    Haven't used Chartio in a while but when I did the reverse ssh tunnel was just a standard reverse ssh that you could deploy on any server in your vpn. It doesn't have to be on the …

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said. However, as someone who has used Chartio extensively, I'd say 20 is wayyy too low. It can definitely handle 100s. But, like you sai…

    Yea but this is sort of akin to cramming. Some of the deeper stuff in CS and engineering, at least for me, took time to ponder and spaced repetition. I don't think 1500 hours or wh…

    I'm confused. That is not the original post that I was commenting on. The original post I commented on called Martin Shkreli one of the shittiest human beings on the face of the ea…

    I said nothing of his criminality or ethics. I just said he's not one of the shittiest human beings on the face of the earth. I mean you could kind of argue that OP thinks it's a r…

    One of the shittiest human beings on the face of the earth? Really? There are people alive today who have committed mass genocide. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are pr…

    Agreed that if getting a job is hard then getting the money that ensues is hard. But for the vast majority of people getting a job and living below your means is possible. Does tha…

    Fair. Money is an easy solution because you can get a job and make money. And you can live below your means and build a savings. And if you choose to freelance or start a business …
