All of these are standard terms. Establishing a (standard sized) ESOP is good for the company long term. If you would like better/different terms, you'll need at least one other fi…

6m users¹? Smooth and sharable UX? Effective abstractions over many parts of the DevOps stack? This comment has quite the Dropbox 'build such a system yourself quite trivially' com…

This is not an accurate speculation. They try to predict flu strains because it is prohibitive to identify and produce vaccines for every strain in time for flu season each year. B…

I use Vantage and it's definitely a good product and all but the real value is every hour you don't have to spend using AWS directly. I would pay _so_ much money to never have to u…

I caution against trying to monetize it; Facebook will waste your time with constant cat and mouse changes to the HTML and will bully you with their vast legal resources

I have a guide on using Serverless.com infra-as-code to get started with Lambdas. 0% console GUI https://www.alec.fyi/set-up-serverless.html

Ah yes, 'where no SaaS has gone before', rolling their own CI/CD. Never mind Github, Gitlab, Pivotal Labs, Netflix, and Yahoo/Verizon and they're not even open sourcing it, they're…

Pretty disappointed to see both authors pitch their products and not discuss: * data modeling * warehousing, ETL, monitoring, observability * the BD necessary to make a standard ac…

Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's a OSS Chrome Extension that allows you to record your actions in browser and transcribes them into Nightmare.js code: https://githu…

I built something similar to this last year and wow this is just much... better I find the choice of Flask + Zappa a little weird - I much prefer serverless.com for infra as code -…

I was prepared to buy this and then I sorta stumbled across the Builder Book They look very similar? But they're different? According to the docs this one is more focused on advanc…

Yea, almost all existing Dorking content is around either SEO or offensive/defensive security scanning. The broader OSINT has used dorking for a decade plus (e.g. exploit-db.com go…

When I run that query, it returns `No results found for "the SERP should stay the same".` Then defaults to providing the SERP for the fallback query: `Results for the SERP should s…

Hmm, I'm seeing the same now. You can more or less replicate the functionality with intext:specific.url/subsite Will update and credit you.

If it's specific enough, the SERP should stay the same until someone else publishes the same thing e.g. the search of another article "set up Google Sheets APIs (and treat Sheets l…

The first two appear to still work, but the third does not. The permutation searches are tricky because you don't know if a lack of results means the email does not exist, or just …

`intext:phrase` and `allintext:multi part phrase` generally "phrase" works well too

Updated the article to reflect and credited you for the contribution!

Try wrapping lizardmancan in quotation marks - "lizardmancan". That narrows it down to 10 results for me (also: you'll want to remove the space between site: and news.ycombinator.c…

I like the idea but 20% of cloud spend in perpetuity is completely ridiculous and rules out anything above personal toy projects Even if someone did sign up for the paid tier, they…

For more queries, you can add modifiers to a Google Search to get the results you want Seeing folks mention the NOT operator (-). It's quite powerful! For example, you can do: inte…

I bought this a few weeks ago and am about 130 pages in. It is just stunning how much better it is learning Dynamo/NoSQL in general from this than effectively any other source. Any…

Is the code open source? How would one know with certainty their data isn't being surreptitiously copied? (You can also recreate this functionality locally with a few lines of Pyth…

Love the idea. Totally understand the business use case. Not in love with the pricing. Feels like paying $49/mo is too high for a marketer to try out, but too low for the fact you …
