Are you willing to share what you are using for data sources? Particularly the renter, net worth, etc aspects as that is not in the publicly available data out there.

I use MelissaData and a few other similar APIs that are available

MelissaData has quite a hefty API set up and minimum commit - how did you get them to give you API access to the direct mail leadgen API?

I paid a hefty setup fee

Agreed, this should be the main link instead of giving AppSignal free publicity. The original is very much a light reworking of the original. It has the same content order and everything.

It means being able to make travel itineraries public / shareable for other people to use for their own.

Yes! Exactly. You can copy other people’s entire itinerary, a single day, or a single event and paste them into your own. There’s also ways to communicate with the trip creator if you wanted to collaborate that way. Or you could invite people to build a trip together.

"crowd-sourced" might be a better term.

You might be right! it's really just a play on the concept that trips can be shared and other people can modify and redistribute them.

I see now, when you explain it like this I understand why you used the term "open source". In a very literal sense though "open source" means the source is open, and there usually is no "source" used to create an itinerary except the mind of the creator, and hopefully that isn't open :D

Sorry to be picky about wording, it's definitely a cool project!

that's not open source.

It's fascinating they used Excel in the product photos instead of Numbers. I wonder who actually uses Numbers these days? Or any of the Apple "productivity" apps for that matter.

They are much better integrated with the system, their UI is great and they are plain and simple. It's not just Keynote that is good. I used Pages for a lot of private stuff like letters, and Numbers suffices for a lot of simple tables too.

I avoid the MS Office suite wherever I can. Recently went through some lengths to deactive Microsofts intrusive updating background service (nearly as bad in slowing down my system as Adobes).

I recommend installing office through the App Store to avoid that background service.

Also free vs paid.

I would be interested to find out how many individuals and families pay for Microsoft’s software, when apple and google provide free alternatives. (Maybe constrained to families that use mac / iphone, Microsoft might be more popular for Windows families?)

ie: For most people, if you’re not getting free access through work or school, is it actually worth paying for?

My glorious employer doesn’t pay for the Office suite, so I occasionally use Numbers for some very lightweight spreadsheet work on the work laptop.

They work fine for basic tasks. The other day I wanted to make a basic spreadsheet. I said why not and picked Numbers. Works fine for what I needed.

I do. They are there and work just fine for my regular bleb use cases. I also edit Word files in Pages and export to Word just fine. Same with Numbers.

He talks about supplements sometimes but I don't ever feel like he pushes them and usually says you can get them wherever but I suggest here. I don't agree with everything he says but it's clear he puts a ton of time and research into the episodes he does and I don't blame him for trying to make money. So many of his guest episodes contain invaluable knowledge and that's a fine trade off for me.

His podcast is sponsored by Athletic Greens. He has promoted their product in every single episode that I've listened to. That's a bit more than sometimes.

The main theme of the blog post is taken from Peter Attia's "Outlive" book which is a compilation of science backed ways to improve health and wellbeing long-term which includes resistance training. Peter is very science driven and worth checking out. No "bro-y" at all.

There's one graph without an axis label and while it'd help give some context, the point is to show peak muscle and how it declines over time. The same point is shown in more detail on a graph with axis labels a little more down. This article is largely a very brief summarization of a topic from Peter Attia's book Outlive which is worth checking out.

> powered by Samsung's Tizen OS for business

Not exactly (or at least bad example.)

The "OS" on the commercial TVs is more or less for digital signage purposes only. Samsung is kind of the defacto in the market, but I've worked with some new Panasonics that are just as nice.

As far as the OS: It doesn't have an 'app store' and essentially you can program it to check in to an RSS feed / FTP / etc.. to grab new content, schedule content, or use a USB to load up a scheduler (Think like restaurant menu that changes from breakfast to lunch at 10:30am).

Other nice features may include ability to daisy chain to make a video wall, fallback/failover if HDMI1 goes off, RS-232 control or command of other systems. Some models also are built for 24/7 duty cycle, though, if you go to a local sports-bar or the like they will buy consumer TVs that will look blotchy within a year or two because they aren't built to be on 20 hours a day.

I missed that, updated with a different brand.

Yes it's what showed for me as well and I've never played or searched it. Just a coincidence.

Just as an extra data point - same here, got shown MtG results, never played it (though I might have searched about it a few times way back).

I was thinking exactly this. How many of that demographic are actually playing it for kids using their account? But I also know it is a very popular hobby for some people. My brother started a lego city group on Facebook and it exploded totally organically to tens of thousands of members. He was shocked!
