re: the kinesis key - curious, what is the right way to configure log delivery for remotely deployed appliances?
in this situation, is it just like, you should front kinesis with a service that can apply appropriate quotas / limits?

But is it more comfortable, then say, an old school analog expensive mattress? I can’t shake the feeling these companies are selling snake oil (that is not to say that old school analog mattresses aren’t overpriced either)
> But is it more comfortable, then say, an old school analog expensive mattress? Mattresses wear out, and people end up keeping them too long. Somewhere like walmart.com sells great mattresses for inexpensive prices. They are not related at all to what they sell in stores. Because they are inexpensive, as soon as they start to wear out, buy a new one.

Please see my reply to another person in this same thread. He didn't even verify that the bed is running an SSH server in the first place!
I saw it. It's not necessary if the process that maintains the reverse connection can just start it as needed. That said, some actual investigation of that supposed binary would have been a strong support for this whole thing, and indeed an evidence for this theory, so I will give you that.
If the bed requires going through some kind of production endpoint interaction in order to set up the remote connection (as is most likely the case), then his claim that any engineer can connect to any bed is simply false, and this is no more of a security hole than the idea of having a cloud-connected bed which is updated OTA in the first place.

I've also heard about people finding new foam mattresses too hot :( like me. will buy a spring mattress next time Edit thank you for your recommendation but I'm in italy, European and American mattresses are quite different. Before discovering this, I once wrote to the customer support of the flamingo hotel, Las Vegas, because I loved their mattress: Hi, i do think that what i'm gonna write is weird, but anyway haha.…
I use latex topper because of this. It works like foam, but has cold feel to it, and hypoallergenic dust mite resistant on top of that.
How can a latex topper be hypoallergenic when tons of people are allergic to latex?

#195I looked really hard at buying an 8 Sleep. I have techie friends who swear by them. But one of the big reasons I didn't go forward I don't see mentioned here and that is noise. I need a dark and quiet room to sleep.
Someone told me they returned their 8 sleep because of the constant fan noise of the computer running the thing. He told me it was like having a server in your bedroom.
I am also not keen at all needing to have my phone in my bedroom either. At the end of his life my father had some health challenges and it wasn't uncommon for a nurse to call me in the middle of the night. It was all the other calls, people tweeting or slacking at me that made it really challenging to get any sleep.
Still looking for something where I can collect sleep data if any entrepreneurs can solve these problems.

#196A $20/month bed subscription is objectively hilarious. I cant imagine how this company attracts a non-zero number of clients.
If I could afford it, I’d certainly get a >$2000 queen size mattress in a few years. Nice firm mattresses are expensive. Internet connection and temperature control are not something I’m remotely interested in. A subscription doubly so. This is hilarious and illustrates how naive and reliant people are for technology to solve every problem in their lives.

I’m in the market for one. I want a cool sleep in the summer with fresh air (not recycled AC air). I haven’t found one with good reviews and also no required spyware unfortunately. So AC plus humidifier is needed, but I still sweat on the parts of my body in contact with the mattress no matter how much I crank the AC in the middle of Aug.
What's the difference between recycled air thats been cooled and then blown into your bed and the air from your air conditioner?
I can't speak to the person you're replying to, but it's like the difference between an electric blanket and a space heater. It's energetically cheaper to cool just the bed than the whole room, and it won't dry out the air as much.

The air from my air conditioner sits on top of me like a blanket, not touching the parts of me in contact with the mattress. If the mattress itself is actually cool, it will stop me from sweating. The recycled air thing is just personal preference, breathing fresh air feels subjectively better than recycled air so I keep my window open as much as possible. If the weather is hot, but my mattress is cold, then I can keep the window open and still be cool on hot days.

#199I've bought several internet radio streaming devices over the years, and they all eventually brick when the server goes out of business.
A lot of them didn't use their own server, but relied on Reciva, which was shut down a few years ago:

#200We give these companies hard earned fucking cash and they want _more_. Rapacious neoliberal capitalists will be the end of capitalism itself.
