I was able to pass four AWS certifications and learning a ton in the process by taking courses on https://acloudguru.com/ and lots of practice on AWS itself.

Highly recommend acloud. I would use them again to re-up my certs as well.

Re:Lemonade says website security flaw is ‘by design’ on Thursday May 13, 2021 @08:01PM (#27149055)
Wow! I'm a lemonade customer and the fact that leadership twice mentions that leaking customer data is by design, is mind-boggling to me. What product owner would suggest such a feature!?

Any recommendations for a replacement?

Sites we interact with may become adversarial towards us at any time they see fit. I wish my browser and the extensions I use were sacrosanct and outside the purview of other companies/sites.
Reminds me of the backlash Digg received back in the day.

Without a doubt! I'm not too concerned because I'm using it within the USA to access my email, HN, and various other common websites while on public wifi.

Thanks mtmail! I've yet to pay a dime. I won't mind doing so once it expires though.

I've set up my own VPN using Streisand [https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand] & Google Compute Engine (Micro Instance). When you create an account on Google's Cloud, you get $300 (or used to at least). This instance type is big enough to handle the few devices I connect to it, fairly speedily too.
I was just going to say that same thing. Unfortunately, the chains of habit are generally to small to feel until they are to hard to break. Even with this change in hardware, how many will change this ingrained habit of theirs?
Living in NYC also, I use Gett mostly and sometimes Juno (due to 30% off limited time promotion). I always ask drivers which service they like. Many do not like Uber or Lyft due to the % they take, compared to Gett/Juno.

Also, I found it interesting that nearly all drivers have multiple cell phones logged into separate services, sometimes Gett and Juno! I wonder what the percentage of drivers Gett will be picking up that were already Juno drivers.

There is nothing wrong with the photo (which is classy). You will find photos like that on Facebook (personal) & Linkedin (professional) profiles.

Thanks much for the quick reply Wes! You're the best!

Hi Wes,

FYI, when I applied the coupon and it registered the reduction to $49 (Masters Package) in the field, but was charged $59 at checkout.

It's my understanding that you're working on your "startup" until you've found a repeatable way to generate profits. Once that occurs you then begin working on your "company".
SolidEnergy also looks like it has a solid team behind it as well.

Re:Ask HN: Settling on an Idea on Friday December 05, 2014 @01:21PM (#8705931)
I see, I apologize for not providing you with what you were looking for initially. I struggle with over analyzing problems. This leads to paralysis in some cases, including when coming up with ideas for products/services like you're experiencing.

I have a friend who wants me to work with him on a project. The problem he is trying to solve doesn't scratch an itch for me though. I have noticed, for me personally, that I am more motivated to work on something if the solution solves a problem I am currently experiencing.
