I made the jump to AFFiNe ( https://affine.pro/ ) a few months ago and have really liked using it. I am able to self host and have found it to be a _nearly_ 1:1 replacement for Not…

It is suitable for individuals, I used it for a couple years and was very happy with it. I only decided to move on because I wanted a local database that I could mine as my persona…

I totally agree and is probably the main reason I don't use my Rift more - it takes me to another location. > unless you live by yourself Is a very important point, I think the soc…

"Collective Market Manipulation" so ... that is what we are calling buying stocks now?

PEOPLE have not gotten driving on the highway correct and PEOPLE are running down people in streets. If you define "good enough" as perfection then of course the tech will never ge…

I had a similar and frustrating issue where my 2 factor auth was re-enabled after I manually disabled when I knew I was giving up my phone. They eventually helped, but it took long…

I don't know about that - I can pick up a ESP8266 dev board for under $5 individually on mouser - I feel like I should be able to get that cost down significantly if I am building …

Fair enough, I am not a graphic designer and I am using Angular Material colors in the app - I thought they looked interesting enough that it might get some attention so I used the…

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want to post it here - why use a throwaway account?

I built a cash forecasting app ( http://www.money-stew.com ) that I use religiously to verify that I won't have any trouble paying my bills. I actually managed to get some traffic …

Do you honestly believe that complaints are not classified and plugged into some sort of analytics system at the absolute minimum? I could never imagine that any company with half …

I do agree that a product that functions on bad code is better than no product at all. If there where very terrible design decisions made in the beginning. This could have a very n…

It is always listening just like your dog is always listening. If you are not talking to it and you are not saying its name you are being (mostly) ignored. Most of the time, it is …

According to their Wikipedia entry [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix#IT_infrastructure ], they are storing all the content on S3. I have to imagine that they have some pretty …
