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 t…

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…

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 Ma…

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 webserv…

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 m…

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 …

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. F…

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 …

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 bui…

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 …

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 CR…

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 a…

I generally see At least, that's what it would take for me to join a startup as first engineer versus starting my own business.

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 o…

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, mo…

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 sociali…

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 suff…

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 di…
