https://www.outseta.com/ is the best tool I've seen that offers everything you listed.

Is this a widespread issue or only certain car models? I’ve been very interested in purchasing a Comma. Thanks!

Being the only remote employee when the rest of the company is onsite.

https://blurt.app is awesome.

It doesn't delete your text, it just blurs it as you're writing. So like you said, you can get everything out on the page without self-editing.

I use it to write all of my blog posts and then export them to markdown when I'm finished and ready to publish on my static site.

Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this! VSCode+Vim has been driving me insane lately with the excruciating typing lag.

I've never learned vim proper (started with Atom and vim-mode-plus), but I keep thinking it might be time to dive in.

For the last few months, I've used https://www.getcroissant.com/ which is ClassPass for co-working spaces. I like being able to bounce around different spaces, as well as use it in cities all over the world.

Ask HN: How often do you write custom SQL reports at your job?

At the last startup company I worked at as a backend dev, I was frequently asked to build SQL queries for the marketing, operations, and customer service teams. Typically, they would then dump the results into a spreadsheet and build charts or dashboards there.I'm curious if you've experienced this as well, or does your startup just use a BI tool like Looker or Tableau for this?I really enjoy...

FWIW, I bought a 2004 Corolla with 140k miles off Craigslist in a HCOL city for $3,200 back in June. No issues so far.
Another one-person project, still under development http://www.itlurksbelow.com/. Granted this one person is David Brevik, of Diablo fame :)
Interesting that they stated a passenger would have experienced a peak of 10 Gs, that seems excessively high for tourism. The space shuttle launches were around 3 Gs and Soyuz rockets around 4 Gs.

Re:Scooter startup Bird is seeking a $2B valuation on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @11:55AM (#17294502)
Human behavior maybe? I know it's almost no effort to install a new app, but Ofo and Lime were the first rideshare bikes in my town and since there are plenty of their bikes around I haven't bothered to install any of their newer competitors' apps.

It looks like the Dashboard front-end is using React, and on the back-end they use Ruby. https://stripe.com/blog/engineering
Re:Bird has raised $100M for electric scooter sharing on Friday March 09, 2018 @07:47PM (#16556404)
A lot of skepticism here regarding profitability, safety, and regulation. I can’t remember the last product I’ve seen gain traction so insanely fast as these scooters have in LA/SD. Between that and the bike companies (LimeBike, ofo, etc) it feels like when Uber/Lyft first came out, ie this is how urban transportation should be.

While you may be right, I think this could just be a classic example of Hanlon's razor.
Re:The Strange Brands in Your Instagram Feed on Wednesday January 10, 2018 @12:54PM (#16117154)
As a backend dev that knows almost nothing about this, I thought the article was a pretty good intro into the world of content marketing, dropshipping, and Facebook/Instagram advertising.
Re:Confidential metrics for Snapchat features on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @01:08PM (#16108241)
I find myself sending pictures and videos in chat all the time, simply because of the ease of it. Say I'm cooking dinner and a friend asks me, "what are you up to?". It's just as easy for me to send a quick video of the skillet sizzling on the stove, as it would be to type out a descriptive response.
It may not hurt their studies, but perhaps their social skills. I recently stayed at a hostel, and when I first walked in I noticed how in the common area almost every single person was alone on their phone. It made me long for the pre-smartphone days in which I imagine travelers were forced to socialize with each other.

While school lunch is a slightly different situation, I think it still applies that without phones kids will be forced to communicate more directly with each other.
