Related to this, using: https://hnprofile.com/ You can identify who is an expert related to each tool or any topic in general

This is neat! But, it seems a bit disingenuous to say I'm looking at experts, as opposed to people who like to talk about something. My expertise is industrial automation and connectivity for example, but I come up when searching for vue, a javascript framework, just because it's a tool I like to promote since I think it could use some noise given react's popularity. Step 2 seems like having someone or something reading through comments and assigning expert status to profiles.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is very odd. How did it happen that you're the ship-steerer for this highly cutting-edge tech? Where did the research come from? Usually, this kind of stuff doesn't just pop out of the ether, and I've never seen anything quite so promising in this domain before. (Maybe I just haven't been paying attention.)

> Personally, I'd rather be the one guiding the ship, because I do ask myself the same questions you're asking. I'm not necessarily the one guiding the ship, but I'd like to be (by being the largest on the market), and I'm just working to launch this as a business (called Metacortex). Fact is, I've spent years building this out for my trading platform. Most of the research is my own, with some contributions from open…

> That's why I submitted a patent on it, I want to corner this particular (and seemingly highly effective) method.

Which (turns out one of my areas of interest is "which") really only gives you a monopoly on selling the method but not on internal usage by less scrupulous actors...at least that's my opinion, it would be near impossible to enforce a patent on non-public facing code used to track people in BigCorp.

I do like the idea though, it's not like anyone (reasonably) should believe they have any semblance of anonymity on the internets and this just goes to show how easy it is to follow you around on the webs. If an individual can pull this off then the sky's the limit for the TLAs with massive budgets and computing horsepower.

I find that my problem isn't finding services that match a requirement I have, but picking which one to use. It's totally overwhelming how many services do pretty much exactly the same thing these days. I love that it's like this in the sense that there's healthy competition and they're all pushing each other forward, giving each other ideas to improve, etc... but as a pure consumer of these services, it's incredibly…

I very much feel like this as well (on both counts), especially about CI. I'd love to hear any strategies folksight have for coping with this and actually making decisions without looking into every single option, if that's a thing.

One tactic is to try one for 30m; if you can't get it working in that time, try another. Obviously biases toward good "getting started" tutorial and ease of adoption.

Doesn't anybody do shit on their laptop anymore or on their own server? Why does it have to be 10 thousand services, why the dependency on the network and other entities? How many of these will go bankrupt by the end of the year, how many will change their terms in an incompatible way with your company project or your personal one?

Anyone knows about a team shifting saas around there? A tool that could help me to design and automatize a shift schedule for security guards for instance. Basically I am looking at the following assumptions: - 24/7 coverage - 8 hours shift - 40 annual leaves days per year - 14 days of certified sick and uncertified sick leaves per year. - need for 52 periods of 2 consecutive days off (week ends). - team composed of…

Needs to denote difference between price per month and price per user per month. Especially on items like support and HR. Apps that charge per user in “flat hierarchy” companies like mine where any employee can do anything is death to your service because I’m not paying for all my employees when we equally share the workloads depending on schedule.

This is something I'd definitely be interested in adding to this list. Trouble is that services are changing their pricing very frequently.

I would add site24x7.com for server monitoring. We're monitoring all sites and services in our small startup for just $10 a month. Sends out all type of threshold alerts and supports scheduled maintenance. Many other features I haven't even scratched the surface of.

Nice idea, feel free to send over a pull request
