This prompt actually works pretty well. I suspect that because you added a step requiring the model to list out what it needs to draw first, it has a much easier time creating a reasonable SVG. https://chat.openai.com/share/be9cea50-d00d-4b05-ab54-b64619...

Is anyone else troubled by how they're trying to drive traffic away from the site on which the disqus comments are embedded? It doesn't look like there is any way to disable this functionality.

SproutVideo founder here. We actually introduced an import tool for DailyMotion Cloud users to easily import their videos into a SproutVideo account. DailyMotion Cloud was a product of DailyMotion. DailyMotion Cloud is shutting down on April 12th. DailyMotion has offered to migrate their users to their main platform but that puts several serious restrictions on content such as:

  *  Distribution of your video catalog on Dailymotion.com
  *  Monetization of your video catalog
  *  Compliance with our content moderation rules

For many users, this is simply not a viable solution. SproutVideo offers a very comparable platform and we've already had several former DailyMotion Cloud users import their content. Companies can have very large video libraries and migrating to a new video hosting platform can be a lot of work. To that end, we created a tool that will allow former DailyMotion Cloud users automatically import their libraries into a SproutVideo account. Hopefully that clears things up a bit! http://sproutvideo.com/dailymotion

I think the usefulness of a SSG really depends on your goals. If your goal is simply to publish a blog, perhaps a SSG is not the right solution for you. SSGs are interesting because they have zero external dependences. I can just deploy my blog to Amazon S3, use CloudFront if I so choose, and never have to worry about scalability or how much traffic my blog can handle. To me, that is more important than the perceived friction that it takes to get a post online.

Although Alibaba is a huge company that does a ton of different things, I feel like this article went out of the way to avoid mentioning that companies like Google and Amazon (as well as Microsoft and Apple to a lesser extent) come close to checking all of these boxes. The other thing to point out is that Alibaba owns stakes in many of these companies and doesn't really own them outright.

As others have already pointed out how Google compares, take Amazon for instance:

Online Payments - Amazon Payments

Cloud Services - Amazon Web Services

Mobile Apps - Amazon AppStore

Mobile OS - Amazon FireOS

Maps and Navigation - Amazon Maps API

Retail Outlets - N/A

Group Buying - Amazon Local

Cloud Storage - Amazon CloudDrive / Amazon S3

Mobile Messaging - N/A

Car Service, Ride Sharing - N/A

C2C e-commerice - Amazon Services/Amazon WebStore (not quite the same, but close)

Online Travel Booking - N/A

B2C e-commerce - Amazon.com

E-Learning - http://www.tenmarks.com/ (owned by Amazon)

Microblogging - N/A

Music Streaming - Amazon Cloud Player

Streaming Video - Amazon Prime Instant Streaming

Money-market funds - N/A

12/18 isn't bad.

I dealt with a somewhat similar situation a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4291454

I issued a DMCA takedown notice to their host and it was taken care of in a couple of days. I suggest doing the same.

Seems kind of similar to Max, from Netflix themselves: http://blog.netflix.com/2013/06/let-max-be-your-netflix-guid...

Although I really only watch on my TV and not my computer, I like the concept and it seems well implemented. Cracking the nut of figuring out what to watch is a tough one, that's for sure. Good luck!

Is this blog also running on Meteor? I can't get it to load so that's not instilling confidence. Maybe it's their host, https://modulus.io/ that's having problems?

Absolutely. This was just meant as an example to show what is possible with the API for the SproutVideo player and not a definitive guide on how to make a fully formed player. Many things would need to be done differently for this to be a fully-formed UI that works just as well on mobile devices as desktops.

I built something simliar to this back in 2009 for college football coaches. I was planning on adding more for other sports as well as for players but there weren't too many using twitter back then: http://web.archive.org/web/20100325212936/http://www.coachtw...

Seems like everyone is tweeting these days and this is a much slicker interface than the one I built. Good job!

Broken is pretty subjective here and greatly depends on one's needs as far as the ACID principles are concerned. If durability is your primary concern then maybe MongoDB isn't for you. That doesn't mean it's broken. It might perfectly meet the needs of others. I guess it should also be noted that the author works on HyperDex (a competing data store).

Just to be clear, the prizes are account credit for 12, 6, and 3 months of the Tree Plan on SproutVideo. So, you'd get $600, $300, or $150 worth of account credit, respectively, if you were to win. Overages still apply. I had this in the title originally but it looks like the moderators edited it out.

It's relevant as many here are entrepreneurs. There is a very good lesson here about proper social media etiquette for companies. There are an incredible multitude of ways this situation could have been handled better, especially on a forum as public as Twitter.
