My concern is, as per my original post, that:

1. A single component in my app causes the same error over and over again, every second or so

2. This causes me to run out of my 10K, 50K, or whatever, fully paid-up 'Teams' or 'Business' allowance within the first day, and then my account gets disabled

3. Once my account gets disabled, my only option is to "contact Sales" and they never reply to me (in the case of Sentry), or quote me an amount that I'm simply unable to pay (in the case of many other similar services).

So, you could address this concern by stating that you now coalesce similar errors, and that my scenario is no longer an issue. Or, you could just punt me to a sales contact. Or, just, basically, tell me to "get gud" and get back in touch once my services have proper error handling.

Instead, you chose to pretend that I can't write properly, which, frankly re-confirms my notion about Sentry: RUN AWAY WHILE YOU CAN! This goes doubly for employees, BTW, so... consider yourself informed!

i actually wonder what the statistics look like across the entire country of whether people actually like cars vs its the only way to get around. HN is a bubble including most of city folk. Most people I know love their cars, including myself. I love the freedom of leaving whenever i want, going wherever i want. However, i also adore trains. Both have their place. I think a personal (ideally extremely safe) airplane sounds like a dream to me. I also think we should have trains! The more the merrier! Choice is important and while you may not care for cars if you have all of the public transit possible, others do. I still find myself going for drives and I'm someone who lives in NYC with probably the best transit system in the US.
Although, look at it like a retroactive inflation adjusted 2% raise for every year up to 26 that you worked at Dell.

Dell doesn't _have_ to offer much of anything although in my experience the 1 week per year of tenure on top of a fixed payout is fairly common.

For a 26 year employee, that's a total of 8 months of pay which is plenty of time to find a new job - assuming you have valuable skills to contribute and haven't just been coasting for years and not keeping your industry skills up to date. If one can't find a job in six months that is similar to their now defunct job, they probably won't and likely need to adjust their expectations.

This looks useful for no-code team members to create embeddings for LLM.

Since you're looking for feedback...

The "New Way" section would benefit from simplifying into a single flow chart with just two steps. Then move the existing 4 blocks to a features section.

Also would be great to have simple use cases on the landing page and link to the current Use Cases page for details. On the Use Cases page, I would get rid of the graphics. They don't convey much info and distract from the screenshots.

Maybe add a page for product comparisons. Without playing with the product first, it's a bit unclear to me how my no-code teams would prefer Fleak over their current tools (Make.com, n8n, Pabbly, Zapier, etc.).

The pricing page is somewhat of a deal breaker for my team to even spend time testing the product. The only option (free tier) seems to have really limits like 1 request / sec. And there's not enough info to understand how max events and other rate limits play together. I would keep the 1 user, 5 pipeline, token limits, and 500 requests (pipeline executions?) per month. Then remove the other limits. Alternatively, offer a Pro tier with a free month trial with higher limits.

Also on the pricing page, it would be great to list out a few use cases as examples of what's possible within the limits of each tier.

Hope this helps! And best of luck. It looks like a promising product.
Yesterday, I was able to successfully log in before the market opened without issues. My session timed out and it took me four tries to get logged in. I was able to finally get a confirmation code and complete the login process after about 10 minutes. This was mid-morning.

This is the third time in 3 weeks I've had login issues. The first two were massively delayed 2fa keys to my phone. They directly correlated to Azure issues and down time. I wouldn't be surprised if this was somehow related to yet another outage with one of their infrastructure providers.
I have one of these and I am going to be blunt: I just can't figure out the privacy. At. All. I have kids (and their many friends) running through the house using TVs and streaming etc and I don't want them browsing through my YouTube viewing history or filling it up with their dumb kid shows nor accessing things I don't think are appropriate at random times.

But for whatever reason when I plug in the 4K with Google it's the annoying nagbot that refuses to do anything unless I'm logged in (not to mention my password is not exactly easy to type using the remote) and then it drags in my whole YouTube history and the device is useless and nags you to hell when not logged in.

It's so much easier and less insane to just use Roku. I can throw YouTube videos at the Roku without being logged in and the device works just fine. Google seems to be constantly changing things and I have no interest in playing wack-a-mole with whatever thing they decide to change this week.

Roku's just work and they rarely change. That trust just does not exist with Google's products.
Good article, made less so by the over-large and gratuitous stock photos.
It is the banks which in turn respond to federal rules at fault here. If you reduce rents to attract customers you can potentially fill up the building - but at the reduced rate which means the building is worth less and so the bank will reduce the value of the building and then declare you don't have enough equity and foreclose on you. If you maintain too high rents you can tell the bank that this is a temporary issue of rent too low and they will keep the high validation.

The above is why you can't negotiate the monthly rent, but you can often get a few months free rent - change the rent you pay and the building value changes, while a few months free is just a marketing thing.

If you don't like the above you need to start with federal bank and accounting rules.
As a brand I’m of the opinion that “Chromecast” was a huge success. All non technical people I know basically call any stick/dongle and even devices like an Apple TV a “Chromecast”. For them, if you watch anything that isn’t linear cable TV (so: YouTube, Netflix etc.) on your TV you’re “casting”. And for a while Chromecast was fantastic because it turned any dumb TV into a smart TV.

Now that every TV has apps and even the older people watch more streaming than cable TV, sure, it is a good moment to say goodbye to the mental image of what Chromecast was. But if you measure success in tech by how many people outside of the “HN crowd” are familiar with a thing, Chromecast is right up there with something like Dropbox.
Weird. I don't remember if there was a pattern or not. Maybe there's a specific site that causes it.

I'll give it another try later this year.

cassh is a manager for CA's in SSH. CA's were added to SSH to satisfy people who thought PKI was a good idea; it's not, and SSH pubkeys are far better IMO. Better to use a tool like Userify (or similar like SSH.com) for pubkey management.
The practical upshot is the same. Whether I get my TV to play a youtube video or play it on my phone and cast, it still plays, at least with wifi 6 (earlier versions were flaky).

I also DGAF about battery life. If im watching TV, I have power nearby and im not moving anywhere. Id be charging my phone anyway.

I made a super-simple, free RSS reader with companion Chrome extension
I’ve used a variety of RSS readers over the years and they never quite hit the mark for me, so I decided to start building my own.

https://feedgrab.net

It’s a very early PoC but fully functional. It’s a PWA (I use it mainly on mobile) and it has a companion Chrome extension for highlighting when the current page has an available feed (click to save, like Instapaper).

I plan to add some discovery features (once I have a critical mass of feed data). Right now the onboarding is poor, sorry.

Other things I plan to add:

* Download full articles when the RSS is truncated

* Safari and Firefox extension

* Mobile share sheet support

No idea how to monetise it other than increasing the refresh time (1 hour right now) and max feeds (250 right now). Maybe page saving too, like Instapaper. Other ideas welcome! :-)

Your personal experience of aging, or your personal experience of everyone ignoring aging? Because either way I don't see how what you wrote works.

I switched to Firefox when Internet Explorer was really, really bad. I switched to Chrome when Firefox was really, really bloated. Things haven't become bad enough that switching again is enough of an issue for me to do it. I'm sure Opera, Firefox, or whatever has benefits that are better than Chrome, but Chrome is still getting the job done so I don't feel a pressure to make the effort to switch.

"Long term, the people born each year are children of people who decided to have kids".

If there's far fewer parents because this cohort of potential parents is much smaller, then you have necessarily fewer children going forward. Even if you double the number of people that want kids, it becomes very hard to reverse the demographic decline, let alone grow your society. Even if you could, there's still a giant demographic hole in your population that will cause big issues over time.

Outside of immigration (which is a big discussion on its own) PLUS a healthy birth rate among these immigrants, I'm unsure where your optimism comes from for them reversing their demographics and growing.

Because it's an external estimate. From the article:

"That number has been guesstimated at around ten percent of the workforce – about 12,500 people – as part of an effort to get the overall workforce from 120,000 to below 100,000."

>while not even linking it to specific division within

there's no indication that they decided to cut 10% (or whatever) evenly across all divisions. The only thing we do know is that the overall reduction is 10%.

I see a lot of local pollinators here. Because we're beekeeper as a hobby, I do worry about honey bees out-competing local pollinators, though I have not noticed any fewer local pollinators since we started. In fact, I rarely see our honey bees on our flowers -- they seem to prefer to go out foraging in the direction that we've pointed their hive entrances, which is towards another property. What I might do next Spring is start doing a weekly local pollinator census so that in the next couple of years we might notice if there is a noticeable change in their population.

One caveat being that in the file:// protocol URL params don't work e.g. ?app=c53f8e9f-4b7a-4315-bb8a-f6557f6be30b

This is fixed by running a local webserver, which isn't a huge deal. I'd be happy to learn of an easier way.

I had an AirPort Express back in 2004 timeframe that was precursor to Airplay that did beat Chromecast by close to 10 years with AirTunes. AirPlay came out in 2010. Then, in 2017, Apple released AirPlay 2.

Chromecast first gen was in 2013.

Apple actually beat Google on this one in terms of time.
I agree with much of your comment on what it takes to succeed commercially in today's music scene, but it also nails why modern (popular) music is so same-y and uninteresting -- just the "logisistics" requirements only fit particular kinds of artists.

Their new streamer has MediaTek MT8696 SoC, same processor as Fire Stick 4k max 2021. Also WiFi 5. Not worth it for $99, this is worth $50 the most.

You can choose 100 months then advocate your position on its merits, if you like. This is a political question, a contest of power and resources, not a math problem. Scaling severance to be proportionate to the average period of unemployment at the time of firing would ensure the company doing the layoff would bear their share of the societal burden of unemployment they are helping to create.

Why AI may be overrated
The 2 months is pretty standard for white collar corporate mass layoffs to cover the 60 day WARN notice requirement, since most corps just opt to sever people immediately and pay out the required notice period. For blue collar work it's typically more usual to make them work thru the notice period and offer retention bonuses.

Sorry if the answer for this question is heavily documented elsewhere and I didn't do a proper research prior to asking.
