Very nice project! Can you tell us a little about your tech? How did you crawl Amazon's USB listings, did you use their API? And then how did you figure out if an item has the feature you are looking for: What was your parsing and extraction logic like? Finally, how often are you refreshing your index?

I'm always interested in projects that have a clear path to monetization.


Also, I was pleased to see Erlang :)


In related news, I built a simple tool to track real estate. For e.g. in San Francisco prices are down by about 3% across all property types (Condos, Townhomes, etc) compared to 6 months ago:

Out in the East Bay, in the city of Milpitas, prices are down by about 10% across all property types:

You can very quickly get a snapshot of the latest price trends with just a few clicks for each of the 300+ cities in the Bay Area. Check it out - https://agentsunlocked.com/


I don't think your claim is true. You are not the lowest price.

I just purchased Biotrue ONEday 90 pack today from EZContacts today.

You say the price is https://imgur.com/a/66wFxvS $69.99 cheapest plan (option 2)

But just today I purchased it from EZContacts for $30.79

So you'd be best served to Google for the contact lens of your choice and pay for whats the cheapest.

Note: When I tried to re-order from EZContacts, they were charging close to $50. So always start a new search when you are trying to order Contacts online!


We don't claim to be the cheapest on all products yet - there's some bizdev work to do before we can say that.


the title of this post is literally "Lowest Prices on Contact Lenses"

it's reasonable for someone to interpret that as "cheapest price for the contact lenses I wear".


Title of this post !== JetLenses marketing claims


Been an early beta user of outclip for a few months now. Robust app, works well and looks very polished. I like that the devs have started to focus on the bug reporting use case. Looking forward to seeing where they take this!


Thank you for sticking with us! Outclip is developed for users like you, so if we haven't talked to you yet, we'd love to have a chat and hear some more insights from you!


another thing this article fails to address is what is the supply of homes in a given region and how wealthy are people there. if you take mountain view where google is headquartered there are many wealthy people near by thanks to rising stock prices of goog, fb, aapl, Netflix etc. because of this and the lack of homes getting built house prices are just going up.

in 2017 less than 250 single family homes sold in mountain view. just put that in perspective. 250. thousands started working at google but only 250 homes sold. and the average days on market for a home was: ~10 days.

if these firms continue making money and if they continue to see their stock prices going up then you'll continue to see house prices rise in these markets.

articles like these fail in markets like mountain view / Palo Alto. they probably make more sense for markets that have abundant housing like Las Vegas / Denver.


if you view buying as a consumption decision then a lot of this doesn't apply


google has had this internally for a very long time.


the number of voice based startups that have built business logic on top of this fundamental api is staggering. some names: voicera (automated meeting minutes), voiceops (call center call analysis), chorus.ai (phone call analytics)

the focus on improving call center performance is where the money is. plenty more vendors will enter this market.


why havent they released the Infra Red footage? that will be less deceiving


This dashcam footage was released by the local police. It's likely they don't have the ability to access the autonomous car's working telemetry. Given Uber's legal history I doubt they'll release anything until they're compelled to by law. Personally I find it borderline irresponsible of Tempe PD to release this video and statements based on this video so early in the investigation.


That's probably the exact reason it wasn't released.
