this is really awesome, would love an option to play the games without requiring cam/mic access (if friends are already bought into another tool like zoom), which could also may also allow more players (e.g. bigger teams for codenames)!


Thank you - really appreciate the feedback! Bigger codenames games get CRAZY and we understand the appeal and we want to be able to provide that experience too. We've been thinking about this problem a lot since many of our users play as couples (they share a screen) and they can't easily participate separately. We also understand the privacy issues and we'll be building an option to enter a game room with your audio/video defaulted to off.


That's great to hear! look forward to it


I'm curious how MRR is $3.4K in december but actual 'revenue' is $2.2K?


based on the details shown on hover, looks like MRR is gross revenue, and "revenue" might be net revenue (gross revenue minus direct costs).


this looks really cool! any project write-ups online that show how it can/ is being used?


Multiple projects posted if you search my practical project involves polling a remote API to display tram departures

But you also find out about constraints too. Driving an epaper display without running out of RAM was a fun challenge:

If you search for "ESP8266" (especially on a website like hackaday.com) you will see a lot of projects using these boards or very similar ones. You can also look up the ESP32, which is the big brother of the ESP-8266 with Bluetooth LE, more CPUs, and some other cool features.


hmmm even if the response differs widely, wouldn't the index give an indication of the relative impact something would have? I've been reducing carbs and sugars, which aligns with lower GI foods, I don't really agree that its a hoax, it's helped me sustain energy levels throughout the day better.


No, it wouldn't be, because that relative impact also differs from person to person.

And it is more useful to just look at the carbs, sugars and fiber content.

Do you know how the glycemic index came to be? They used just 10 healthy people for the experiments. It's a hoax on the same level as homeopathy.


could you link to the filter and note your process? I'd be very interested in making my own cold brew!


I'm not the guy you responded to, but I really love my cold brew maker: https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Mizudashi-Cold-Coffee-1000ml/dp...

It's super easy to clean, makes a week's worth (at least for me), lets you serve directly from it, and I think it looks really good.

Whatever you do, make sure you use coarse-ground beans. They extract so much more flavor than medium or fine, in my experience.


Filter: https://www.amazon.com/KLEIN-Cold-Brew-Kit-Concentrate/dp/B0...

Jars (I think these are the right size): https://www.amazon.com/32oz-Regular-Mouth-Canning-Mason/dp/B...

My process is that I fill the filter halfway with coffee, fill the jar with cold water, wait 24-48 hours, then refrigerate. That's it.

The entire process is super simple. I don't need to worry about presses, disposable filters, machines, etc. I just need to rinse the filter and clean the jars occasionally.


Resource limit reached, anyone have a cached version?



would love to hear your recommendations at the $10, $15, $20, $25, and $30 price points if you have any!


Find a wine shop or bar that does tasting events. Typically a tasting will concentrate on a particular region or grape, and go through 6 to 9 small glasses. Sometimes they'll be done blind, but more often you'll be talked through what to look for.

Typically you'll also have some cheese and cold meats to eat - useful to see how the wine reacts to other flavours. For example, malolactic fermentation in a wine brings out a unctuous creamy taste from a good cheese, while other wines make meat more savoury. Pâté is another interesting pairing: different wines can bring out different flavours from the same substance.

Wine shops will typically be doing tastings from bottles that they can sell, so they won't be super expensive (but probably more than $10). But rank your own preferences, and notice how your preferences change as you taste different wines - it can happen that a wine that seemed tasty to begin with pales after you've had a different wine.

It's a personal journey, IMO, and it's a long enjoyable road.


I love the Ravenswood Old Vin Zinfandel. When I can find it here in the Bay Area, it's about $6 a bottle. One of the best bargains I know of.


Are there any resources you would suggest for someone in the same boat to get easily reacquainted and rebuild a good foundation?


The Coursera Machine Learning course just started (I assume you could still join). I just finished the second week (I'm trying to keep a week ahead due to the somewhat unpredictable nature of my schedule lately), and have been enjoying it so far.

The first couple weeks are all about univariate and multivariate linear regression (as well as an optional linear algebra refresher on matrix operations).

I second this course; I took it when it was put on in 2011 in association with Stanford, and called the "ML Class" - its success was the catalyst for the creation of Coursera.


Could you clarify your point about no downside if the company goes under? If the options are underwater then you get nothing, yet if you have RSUs, they'd be worth whatever a share of the company is worth (liquidity because of public/ private notwithstanding)


When you get options, your starting point is effectively zero because the strike price usually is zero. So if the stock goes down, you are still at zero - you just don't exercise the option. You have upside but no downside. If you have an RSU, you have the same upside and downside - 1 for 1 with the price.

Note - this isn't 100% accurate as options that are not in the money still have some value but the idea is more upside than downside.


not op, but i assumed the 'upfront' would fund the rides as well, vs. just 'unlocking' them. i read it as more of an initial prepayment.


Same; this is how it read to me. I was confused seeing this in the comments.
