open router doesn't have that really slick graph though :)

Wait - does everyone here think they're talking about AI? Or is it bitcoin / crypto / NFTs?

As much as I appreciate the sentiment, it is starting to look like bad things happen to OTHER people when the extremely powerful get disconnected from reality. I feel like Marc Andreessen falls into the "bad things will happen to other people" category here.

In the short-term I think you're right.

As Keynes said, "In the long run, we are all dead".

Maybe Andreesen will manage to live long enough for life-extension stuff to really get going. But when you're a billionaire, there's a good chance you're gonna die before your stupid choices can do enough damage.

the mouseover tile expansion is way too big. if I like to hover my mouse over the thing I'm looking at as I scan the display, the expansion is so big that I can't see the next item to the right making the list painfully un-scannable for a certain UX.

don't zoom the tile. feel free to color-swap, display condition, whatever just don't mess with the size ESPECIALLY not a 200% zoom.

also - super buggy if I mess with the filters a little. looks like you're somehow registering "discounted item price" as "%savings" and reporting a $935.55 item as "93600% savings"

keep going though :) just a few kinks.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to report these points:

* I obviously cannot argue with you on the UI, it really needs some serious overhaul. I've been struggling because the images all come from Amazon listings and have no standard "graphical identity" so it always ends up looking like a giant bazaar of random items. The blowout tile was a test to make things pop but I agree it's not good.

* Noted on the zoom looking awful I'll change that too :-)

* Yeah every once in a while some items will register the wrong price so you get these funky percentages. For example I saw a pc registering at $1 for the average price so the computer discount is nonsense. The filters and sorting make those outliers raise to the surface. This should be easy to fix though with an automation to detect incoherent values and recapture prices. The number of occurrences seems to be low overall (i.e. 50ish out of 120k) but it looks amateurish if you sort on price/discount

Thanks again for the feedback it's very useful!

Good news! We don't have to go through the effort of debunking this again over here since Reddit's already had the discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/v8ran7/th...

I'd also add that the optimizing the timeline for engagement (including negative engagement & arguments) wound up making me quit the platform entirely. There were no positive interactions, just deeply unpleasant arguments with people spewing vitriol.

Like ... why would I stay on a platform that was so deeply unpleasant to interact with all the time?

I don't think the article indicates that storage isn't getting cheaper. Equally possible is that amazon's S3 margins are getting better.

For companies like Facebook and YouTube it is possible that they're not affected in the same way that a regular S3 customer would be.

Which is acceptable if they're providing better value in features. From casually looking around it seems that Backblaze's B2 is much cheaper, but doesn't have a good story around reliability, namely uptime guarantees and simple multi-region redundancy. If Backblaze could match AWS in this regard, and with their Bandwidth Alliance with Cloudflare, they could provide better downward pressure on pricing.

The average American isn't eating a ketogenic diet.

People on ketogenic diets frequently add salt to their food. Red meat contains a decent amount of potassium.

Ok, but the author's method was likely a raise of ~$500 to $600k in 3 months.

It may be true that doing all this stuff the long way IS better, but there's no way it is more efficient.

I spent a decade toiling along in the range of ~$65k to $118k CAD.

The thing that opened my eyes to the fact that 4x and 5x salaries are possible was people posting honest descriptions of their salaries and places like levels.fyi.

I am incredibly thankful for the people who went before me in terms of being open and honest about how much they can make as a software engineer if you just choose the right company.

I don't think "humblebrag" is an appropriate response to this person's message since it might have a chilling effect on their decision to publicly say stuff like this in the future.

... and at least from my perspective people saying this stuff is quite literally life-changing.
