Love the idea of interrupting the "dopamine loop" with a delay vs. simply tracking or restricting usage. I worked on creating a Chrome Extension several years ago for myself and I can't believe I didn't have this (in retrospect) obvious idea. I have a few concerns:
* The UI feels somewhat unpolished for asking me to purchase an annual plan on signup.
* I would prefer a free version that is fully featured for a short trial period that later reverts to a limited (one app) version. I have more than one problem app and it's hard to get a feel right now.
* Can I overlap schedules (i.e. open during lunch and any time during the weekend)?
* How do I set this up for something like YouTube? I have several modes of using this app:
1) mindlessly watching 5-10 minute videos looking for the next one, or
2) setting up a long playlist while I'm working out and treating it as a podcast app.
I only want to prevent the former.
Insurance on a $100K watch through Hodinkee is around $1400 a year, although I'm sure you can get a better deal.
If you're an enthusiast then you're paying for peace of mind. If you're an investor then that's the equivalent of a 1.4% management fee per year.
The price action right now is absolutely ridiculous, but if you already bought at say 5x retail then that dramatically eats into your potential profits. It's just not worth it, you shove it into a safe and never let it see the light of day.
Managed NAT Gateways can be a very substantial cost depending on your architecture. I believe the recommended VPC layout has 3 AZs so you're paying close to $100/month for a single VPC just for NAT.
That's interesting, with the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro (we have about four deployed) they all originally worked at the 10 GbE speed for us, then we had some sporadic issues dropping down to 1 -- and now the ethernet does not work at all. On a mix of x86 and ARM Macbook Pros.
I'm sure we'll find a way to keep inflating housing prices. I'm in my 30s and my entire adult life I've been thinking "no way it can keep going up" and it kept going up.
I can't speak to recruiters, but as a hiring manager I see padding as a yellow flag. I don't really want to see the same company listed three times consecutively unless you've spent 1+ year in substantially different roles.
Not saying your experience isn't true, but I've heard horror stories of accounts being disabled for using too much "non-HTML" bandwidth, even on business level ($200/month) accounts (at the single digit TB level). The limits seem to be arbitrary and ill defined.
CF may be great technically, but I personally wouldn't use them without an enterprise agreement in place. Bandwidth should be cheap, but cheap does not equal free.
Unless I had an enterprise agreement in place I'd rather work with a vendor that has a well defined usage-based pricing. I have a low appetite for risk, and usage-based pricing aligns incentives properly IMHO.
I'm pretty sure discrete HBAs / Hardware RAID Controllers have effectively gone the way of the dodo. Software RAID (or ZFS) is the common, faster, cheaper, more reliable way of doing things.
If the financials worked out nobody would care about how delusional the story of "We" was. I'd wager that the vast majority of people using WeWork Spaces didn't care about the fluff or the community or social events.
They had a desirable product for a reasonable price, and I enjoyed working out of WeWork spaces.
It seems like the only truly delusional party was well-capitalized investors throwing money at an (poorly executed) old-school business model with a thin veneer of innovation.
