In other news, the CIA is limiting it's employees from submitting top secret information on KGB owned and operated websites.

How is ease of opt out versus opt in objectively measured?

Most of the time both options are presented clearly and within a few pixels from each other, but opt-in is usually slightly more eye catching and/or more appealing. But the effort in terms of distance for mouse movement or number of clicks is the same. While that’s a design trick that will improve % of opt-in, how can it be argued that the opt-out was not as “easy”?

I'd like to see a variation of the models being fine tuned based on investments of those in congress that seem to consistently outperform the markets.

What do we actually lose going from cloud back to ground?

The mass centralization is a massive attack vector for organized attempts to disrupt business in the west.

But we’re not doing anything about it because we’ve made a mountain at of a molehill. Was it that hard to manage everything locally?

I get that there’s plenty of security implications going that route, but it would be much harder to bring down t large portions of online business with a single attack.

Would this make it easier to consume and store Teams data locally, avoiding the need for tagging M365 Graph API, if the goal is to build analytics or automation on top of Teams for things my personal account has access to?

What's your revenue model? I see you expanded on the details of your $1.5K monyhly cost, but failing to see how you make money? Affiliates fees?

Since we’re splitting hairs, the game is literally called “Travle”

The game is great. URL is horribly hard to remember.

This is my third time having to come back to hacker news to search for it.

Yes I could bookmark, or be more deliberate about committing it to memory, instead I’d rather write this so you know what happens when you don’t see return visits going up.

You have unlocked the key to making the front page of YC, post about web scraping.

I’ve had a lot of Dell laptops through work.

2 XPS-13’s in the past few years. 1 with camera’s positioned at the bottom of the screen, which was the absolute worst design ever, unless you enjoyed showing off your nose hairs.

1 with the screen flicker and an issue with an internal fan that failed to start consistently which resulted an a blaring alarm. It would go off in the middle of the night.

The last one was replaced by a Dell XPS-15 (by my employer) which has worked fine.

I also own a personal XPS-15 that was my first Dell purchase ~3-4 years ago. It’s never had an issue and I do some heavy compute and web scraping.

I have a refurbished Dell Precision T-5600 with 128GB of RAM and 16 core processor 4TB SSD + 2TB SSD. It’s a beast, I’ve had it for 3 years. Run it daily for large scrape jobs, store and process a lot of data. It has never let me down.

Can’t say I’ve ran into that.

Try using “/find” function in the global search.

Not nitpicking. I’m just a n00b. I haven’t even lost my v-card in the Metaverse yet!

I’ve used Teams every day all day for the past 4+ years and I have had minor issues with it ~5 times. Hundreds of my fellow co-workers use it and I’ve not heard anyone run into the consistent issues you’ve described.

We use it for 100% of our conference calls, sales calls, 1:1 working sessions, all-hands (hundreds of attendees), virtual trainings, new-hire onboarding, etc…

I’d say it’s the most useful software we use in my company outside of email.

Admittedly, I’m yet to experience the pure bliss that comes from collaborating on an NFT project with fellow Slack team members from my Mac Book Pro while riding in my auto-pilot enabled Tesla.

Until then, I’m pretty content with what I’ve been able to do with Microsoft Teams over the years.

sounds great, if your end goal is to become further locked into using Apple devices forever.

Choose freedom. Embrace the green SMS bubble.

Way to dangle that half-full glass of water in his face.

Is the relational source db a denormalized star schema? Are you doing direct query or import in Power BI?

As a member of Domain Buyers Anonymous (DBA), I speak for all fellow addicts when I say, you’re evil. Nonetheless, definitely adding this to my browser bookmarks, for whenever I need a hit, just to take the edge off.

Is it just for substack newsletters?

I like the concept. How will you monetize?

This project came out of my own need. I’m a builder and struggle with the early stage of validating ideas with a relevant market. I’d browse Reddit and Yelp, but just wanted direct emails and that wasn’t an option via Yelp, so I found the emails myself for 4M+ US business listings on Yelp. Since this seemed valuable for other solo founders, I built SumoLists for anyone else that struggled with seeding early discussions and finding product market fit.

I’m confused. So they felt at risk by allowing adults to post personal ads in search of romantic connections but they leave open the “Services->Therapeutic” category that openly promotes ads for illegal rub-and-tug establishments that are frequently the target of sex trafficking raids.

It took some courage, but I'm willing to admit I'm in Columbus Ohio.

Great idea. I was looking for a solution like this last night as I was trying to plan a last second trip. I hope you can pull this off. I often get random urges to take a 1-3 day trip, but I want to be able to find a flight that leaves the day that the urge hits.

It would be awesome to see deals from Hotel Tonight inline with the flights.

So when does the bidding end?

There would be no reason to ever stop bidding. To avoid losing your money, all you have to do is make another bid. Your opponent will probably realize that if he doesn't out bid you again, he's going to lose a lot of money. So he out bids you. Which really pisses you off, until you realize that you can avoid losing your money again if you just make another bid. The game goes back and forth until one of you dies of an overdose. Then the game ends by default, but the winner will have a tough time collecting his money from his dead opponent.
