This is 1967 again, except the hippies have RSUs, the commune is a low-cost-of-living zip code, and “dropping out” means waiting for the next vest before deleting Bluesky.

Content Distributor & tool builder

I have built a substack community with a few hundred very engaged self directed investors around a specific strategy and have found a good level of product mkt fit. I now need two things. i) A growth hacker who understands how to accelerate distribution of content; and ii) a tool maker who can help me build tools for my subs. Interested?

Where to find a CEO for my startup?

I have taken my startup as far as I can and would like to find a CEO to take it on. We have taken it from concept to product (physical) in the market but now I need someone to scale. Where do I look?

Utility scale solar projects with investment grade counter-parties (off-takers) produce an IRR of ~6% to ~7% over say a 30-year assumed life. This company is not delivering an 8% yield to investors putting up $1k for fractional ownership in a panel.

IMHO its www.parkmycloud.com

The single biggest optimization / cost saver in the cloud is to get your non-production instances onto schedules as almost universally they do not need to be running 24/7. There is nothing which will deliver bigger savings on your non-prod infrastructure.

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't you using a public cloud? on Tuesday May 22, 2018 @11:28AM (#17126612)
Cloud is a utility and therefore needs to be used like a utility. What this means is you need to turn things off when they are not being used. Something like 50% of workloads in public cloud have 'the potential' to be turned off as they are non-production. The public cloud providers provided the easy button to spin things up but turning things off is more tricky. This is why we built www.parkmycloud.com Others have rolled their own scripts to achieve the same goal or use other methods to achieve the same goal albeit not as good as our solution ;)). Based on our analysis if you use Reserved Instances for Prod and schedule Non-Prod to be turned off when not being used, you will get a better overall ROI than on prem.
