Random note: Has anyone noticed how fast the author's webpage is? I know it's static, but I mean it's fast even for the DNS lookup. I would love to know what they have on.

Just a reminder that a larger portion of today's market value is made up from Tech stocks. Tech stocks are typically higher valuations and P/E multiples, giving a skewed data point perspective vs. 20 years ago.
Re:Baserow.io – Self-hosted Airtable alternative on Saturday March 13, 2021 @05:05PM (#26450486)
I will be using this, and dropping a lot of my paid AirTable bases...and let me please explain why.

Airtable makes it VERY hard to collaborate with people outside my organization. We are a team of 7 people. No longer a scrappy 1-person startup, but not an enterprise client by any-means.

If I want to add a single person to an Airtable base, that's $24 a month please. I have one client with 12 people that want to collaborate on the base by posting comments. I can't justify $288 a month just to keep the comments for all time.I contacted Airtable about this and was told the "Enterprise Plan" would be a perfect fit. Minimum $15k a year commitment.

Why is this happening in the SasS world??? Everyone seems to be either single Pro user, or Enterprise. Do they really think there is nothing in-between?

I am forced to use the ISPs in my area due to only 1 or 2 alternatives. This is not the case with online communication.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think this is the exact advice that everyone needs right now. The young and the old.
I try to re-watch this once a year. Always puts things in perspective for me.
I'm very excited to see this space heating up. It seems for years we defaulted to using Google Analytics and no one wanted in the market. Now there are plenty alternatives, with many of them open source.

Does anyone else find it frustrating when people talk about not working too hard and already having enough, after they have become wealthy?

Re:Ford Dealership: You Can't Charge the Mustang Mach E at Home on Wednesday December 11, 2019 @05:12PM (#21767328)
I think this is more of the dealerships wanting to hold onto their business model, vs the Ford Company seeing which way the puck is going.

Most dealerships make most of their money from their service department. Considering most electric vehicles require much less service, this presents a very large problem.

The entire dealership model is going to get turned on it's head over the next decade.

People. We are losing the Internet that we all love and care for so deeply. We all need to rise up to fight for the freedom the Internet gives us.
Re:Netlify CDN Outage on Monday November 04, 2019 @12:56PM (#21444296)
I understand the growing pains Netlify must be going through. They have created a great product, and are becoming very popular. I'd love to see the Enterprise version (or any paid version) segregated out from the free sites so we can get more reliable uptime.

The build pipeline was down for several hours a few days ago, now a CDN outage makes things much worse, as it's taken down all our sites.

I'm sure they will resolve things quickly, in the meantime our clients will start asking about other failover options.

Competition is good! Forget all the hate going on against Github right now. We should be support things like GitLab and Bitbucket more in order to get the competition going strong. I'd like to see even more competition in this area.

How many of these services will have to shut down before it's user's will start supporting them? Please give me the option of paying money, and making sure you will be in business for the next few years.
