I appreciate you for sharing how this feels more real. That makes me smile. As for the Pandora API, surprisingly pretty stable. The JSON api is 10-13 years old from what I can tell and still functional. It can do mostly everything. The new REST endpoints are more recent, so I suppose it depends on if they change features. The station modes are fairly new I believe.
NY Remote: Open to remote, I find I enjoy hybrid/in-person
Willing to relocate: Unlikely
Technologies: Python, Git, SQL, HTML/CSS, Data Engineering/ETL platforms, JS, AI implementation, Network Engineering
Resume/CV: On Request via Email

I'm an exiting CEO, with a marketing/engineering background. Led marketing at an acquired $350M+ ice cream brand, as well as launched a $1B vertical farming startup. Looking to get back into STEM which I just love. I specialize in go-to-market (working always with quantitative data to make decisions), breaking through barriers, and leading/hiring teams. Having worked in various industries, with programming and engineering chops, I speak multiple "languages" well; people have described me as the missing piece of the puzzle who can distill the needs of various stakeholders/customers and move projects forward.

I had the same conclusion in searching for filters that specifically address a microplastics concern. I was unsuccessful in finding one that was not made of plastic.
Is it supposed to go straight to a log in page? If that is your intention, I don't believe people will explore further without any landing page information about your service.
Anyone know how these devices may have been triggered that would be different from pagers? I imagine these radios would have to be modified to listen to multiple channels in case a radio was on a different channel than planned.
My personal opinion based on the examples provided, is that while it may provide a good baseline, I disagree with some of the examples as being the correct thing to do. Information density intention and audience is important.
For example, I don't know if I agree with the removal of borders. Old reddit looks better for many folks because of the information density even if its an "uglier reddit".
Another example for a good UI but would not meet the "recommendations" of this book is https://www.mcmaster.com/
A number 4. would be: Buy from an established lighting company that publishes compatibility tests. It may not have all the bells and whistles but focuses on doing one thing right, which is to switch a light. My Lutron’s have never needed a debug since install and I get all the convenience and forget about it.
I think a lot of people get into home automation to constantly tweak stuff. If that is what tickles them sure. For me, like anything automated, I want it to work in the background and provide some quality of life improvements and never have to think about it again.
Magic Firewall exists now which is pretty powerful a la wire shark filters if I remember correctly. Otherwise MT filters are pretty good now. However I have encountered a few cases where a valid connection may drop depending on how sensitive your application is but pretty rare.
Very vague. Doesn’t specify if it is in-line or offload. Linode, with some research you can figure out they use Corero appliances that will cover 40 gbps floods.
Also didn’t see what their policy on tweaks are and or expectation on mitigating a more advanced attack.
I.e. DNS, NTP floods are low hanging fruit but it doesn’t take much nowadays to do something more custom.
Depends what you are protecting. A website or http traffic? Stick it behind cloudflare. Services on other ports or protocols like TCP or UDP? You could rent a cheap VPS at a provider that DOES have inline protection and use that instance to reroute traffic to your own server via a GRE tunnel.
Nothing, if your self hosting in your home. Volumetric floods will saturate your ISP link.
If you’re hosting with a provider, your maximum factor will be how much your provider will “tank” for you.
Otherwise harden your ports, drop anything via IPTables, turn on NOTRACK. Better but more advanced would be to use tc (traffic control) to drop bad packets before they enter the net filter lifecycle
Late to the party and this may get buried, but wanted to add a contextual POV. I'm an Apollo user, and I am also someone who was Reddit's earliest enterprise advertisers. As in, the campaigns I've green lit are perhaps still in their advertising media decks as case studies.
Reddit for the past few years have been changing the UX to benefit their revenue streams. Visit any reddit thread on a mobile browser, and get a nag to download the official app. Their app is less likely to be blocked by ad blockers, has advertising SDKs, and can link advertising parameters.
I believe certain threads need you to login. It is also in their best interest to find opportunities for you to login to again link browse behavior. Forgot to mention, the app also allows a logged in state to persist easier than browser.
TL;DR All of Reddit's UX decisions have been to grow their revenue stream.
Do they have the right to do so? Of course. Does it suck for this audience in particular, probably. In my opinion, they will lose their early adopters and perhaps some power users. Is that a risk they are taking? Clearly.
The downside is what makes Apollo great, is the time to content for the consumer. It is in Reddit's best interest in their current business model to have the user spend as much time on a page as possible, in a format that has advertising. Apollo does not have advertising. The official Reddit app does.
The question becomes how you define "herbalism" and in what cultures? i.e. Chinese herbalism is different from Jamaican. That said, in the United States, you can become a registered herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, which involves seeing at least 200 patients over 2 years, a board interview with case studies.
As for the supplements that are "lab tested" by a lab owned by the supplement industry, I can't speak for other companies, but I'm sure that happens, unfortunately. I know that we test ours by independent and good labs, though. I wish there was more transparency around this, but it's been up to the companies to be transparent and the consumer to seek the information.
Edit: Sorry, was off on one number, not 200. 80 patients over 2 years, 400 total hours of clinical experience.
This topic always garners a lot of polarizing views. One thing I would recommend people take a look at is the caffeine and cortisol relationship.
I'm the CEO of Rasa, one of the "coffees" made from chicory root and other adaptogenic herbs. If anyone has questions, happy to bring in our Chief Herbalist to answer.
