What I find so funny about heads of AI companies coming out saying things like this, is their own career pages suggest they don't actually feel that way.
I looked at it more last night. It would be great if you expanded into other forms of manufacturing and related services.
For example, if I am having a complex part machined, I probably need some electronics to drive that things. Having a supplier for electronic parts, circuit board printing, plastic molding for housing those electronics would be needed to finish the job.
Hell yeah! I have been looking for something like this.
On the home page when I search for something like `Southeast` it shows 0 shops, but if I actually select it I get 223. This was confusing and made me unsure of how many relevant hits I would find.
It would be really nice if you could search in smaller geographic areas. State boundaries would be really nice to start. As you continue having city / intra-state regions would also be huge for the cases where you want to go in person to these places.
One of the reasons people choose webp is file size. If your images are smaller then you transfer and store fewer bytes. That can have benefits on cost and speed of transferring those to the client.
I think that is because they are being judge by their outcomes.
In the space I was in (ads) users were highly mistrustful of the data. They felt everything was kind of fuzzy (eg how well are you measuring unique users and their actions).
They would end up using multiple vendors (and we would have to spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting results). They really really want "apples to apples" comparisons.
At the end of the day they were trying to answer, does what I am spending my money on give me the results the business needs? To your point there is a lot of nuanced data, but their bosses definitely only cared about the top line, did it move the needle.
That is interesting. I have worked in the space too, and have seen similar attitudes.
I think it often comes down to who is responsible for making decisions with that data. If a product or business person is the one driving a feature, and looking for adoption, the engineers likely aren't going to be invested in building out sophisticated metrics. They get the metrics they are responsible for from their cloud provider (resource use/latency/scale).
I think that problem is compounded by the perception that these integrations are going to tank your products perf (may hurt the metrics engineers care about).
I think all of those dynamics change in really big companies with thousands of engineers. Then you can often end up in a situation where engineers are now required to maximize product metrics, and need visibility into their small slice of the pie.
So, I think its largely incentive, which is why I see all of the metrics vendors targeting product and sales people in small/mid sized companies.
It sounds like you already know what sales peoples incentives are. They don't care about the tiny players who wanna use tiny slices. I was referring to people who are trying to push PB through these. GCPs policies make a lot of sense if they are trying to get major players to switch their compute/data host to reduce overall costs.
I feel like that is part of their cloud strategy. If your company wants to pump a huge amount of data through one of these you will pay a premium in network costs. Their sales people will use that as a lever for why you should migrate some or all of your fleet to their cloud.
3. Take the good benefits, and hopefully good work life balance and maximize for time with your family. There is always going to be the next thing. Find ways to satiate your curiosity (like attending conferences), while savoring time with your kid because you aren't busy/burntout from grinding at a startup :)
Not who you asked, but I have a similar setup. I can run everything I need for local development in that image (db, message queue emulator, cache, other services). So, setting things like environment variables or running postgres work the same as they do outside the container.
The image itself isn't the same image that the app gets deployed in, but is a portable dev environment with everything needed to build and run my apps baked in.
This comes with some nice side effects like being able to instantly spin up clean work environments on my laptop, someone elses, or a remote vm.
Isn't website hosting already decentralized? I can host my site on one of the many different providers out there, I can host my own, or even deploy to multiple providers. Users can access my site without extra steps.
Why would I want to host my site on Nostr? What does it do better than the competition?
As a side note, your demo isn't viewable without the extension. Trusting a new browser extension has a high level of friction. It would be nice if your site gave some hint of why a user might want to jump through those hoops.
