Airthings View Plus [1] has 7 sensors, but not CO. It's working well for me. The app informs me when some readings are above a certain threshold.

you can run a script that will remove the watermark for ~4 hours. you can run it as many times as you’d like, just requires a restart.

since i never play a game for that long, it works out great.

perhaps this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Franklin_effect#:~:text=Th....

based on averages over the last 10 years (simple google search), a high-yield savings account (HYSA) or CD should mitigate inflation.

you can find HYSAs now that go as high as 2.45% and 12-month CDs around 2.75%. of course, YMMV. this is not financial advice.

A bit OT, but does anyone have insight into why Spotify has refused to make an Apple Watch app for offline playback like Apple Music offers? This is definitely possible as a lone developer was able to do it rather quickly a while ago (search: Spotty later renamed Snowy). That developer was eventually hired by Spotify and the project was scrapped. Spotify's new iOS SDK specifically says it's not to be used to create apps for offline play.

It seems to be a major pain point for Apple Watch users that's easily addressed. It's really confusing why they haven't done it yet.

Just in case someone out there isn't aware, there's an app called Facebook Local (formerly Facebook Events), which is focused on the events aspect of Facebook. Great for continued participation in friends' events without all the other stuff.

Surprisingly, it also seems to be good for finding local events if you're looking for something to do.

So my buddy and I have had this idea for years, but have consistently hit roadblocks for an adwords-like product with billboards. To my knowledge, outside of Lamar, every major player in the outdoor advertising space doesn't even have the technology in place to allow for a more granular pricing model (i.e. ads by the hour). And when talking with them, they were not keen on allowing such a thing to exist even when we tell them we'd fill their entire inventory. Maybe you've had a different experience? If so, I'd like to chat with you.

As for AdQuick (and Fliphound for that matter), it seems like you're just another middleman. There is no bidding. Am I missing something?

James,

Thanks for the reply, and the apology. Your situation really sucks, and I hope it gets better with time.

Please consider taking a break from some of your projects.

I usually don't comment about these type of posts, but I felt I had to speak out here when the author of this article has been an offender of the things he's trying to promote. Perhaps he has just "seen the light," but I have my reservations.

Specifically, these lines got to me:

>If we focus on solutions, focus on helping others, focus on sharing ideas, we’ll be in a better place. We’re all part of a broader community and we all have an impact on it. We can either have a positive impact or a negative one. It’s entirely up to us.

> This is the reality the community faces. We can either work to fix it or we can continue digging a deeper hole for ourselves.

At my company, we were using Lerna [1], a library to help manage mono repos. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. So I thought I'd contribute. I spent a good deal of time replying to issues, fixing bugs, and working on new features.

This was at a time when the author was mostly absent. Without the amazing help of gigabo [2] and hzoo [3], the project would have grinded to a halt. As new users rushed in to use this relatively new tool, there were many new issues and feature requests.

When the author did make his presence known, he was not very helpful [4] [5]. These are just the examples that stood out to me as a contributor. Most people understand that 1 person can't be expected to maintain a big project like this, especially when they are busy at Facebook bootcamp. That's why it had 2 additional members to help. Unfortunately, as a result of [5] above, the author decided he no longer wanted [2]'s help and removed him from the project. He removed a huge contributor because he disagreed with him and failed to openly discuss the issue. Ironic. I stopped contributing immediately. As a result, Asini [6] was born.

The thing that really pisses me off about this post from the author is that he's promoting open communication, sharing, helping others, etc... when it's the complete opposite of my experience with him. Maybe he just had a bad day on those days, maybe it was something else. I don't know him personally, I can only assume things based my interactions. Regardless, this was some extremely poor handling of an open source project.

It looks like he's active on the project again, but it doesn't look like much has changed. [7] [8] [9]

Mr. Kyle, if you're reading this, I really hope you'll follow your own advice. If I have misunderstood your actions in the past, I'm open to being wrong.

If you want a job at a startup, contact a recruiter/talent partner at a VC firm. You will have more interviews than you know what to do with.

My limited experience with "targeted" ads comes from Amazon as they have access to my extensive purchase history. However, they are completely useless to me. I'm not sure why the system tries to advertise the same product (or type of product) that I just purchased. This is the extent of the ads.

I would actually like to receive more relevant ads. "Hey, we saw that you recently purchased a trash can, check out these garbage bags." There are so many supportive or related products that would be relevant to things I've bought. It's a no-brainer. Yes, I know there are "related" and "customers who bought this..." on each product page. I'm talking about after the fact in the days and weeks that follow the purchase.

And how about the option to say "No thanks, I'm not interested in these types of products right now." or "I already have this."? Is this really a difficult thing to implement?

Maybe I'm missing something.

I was thinking about this exact same thing a while ago. My biggest problem with LinkedIn is that you can't enabled "Do Not Disturb" and prevent InMail. The chicken and egg problem is real, so is the monetization. Money from recruiters won't come until you have users, right? Would users be willing to spend a small amount of money for a yearly subscription (for hosting their profile)? First year free, perhaps?

I thought about allowing users to "opt-in" to the network when they are interested in being contacted. Privacy and data ownership are another big concern of mine. Should advanced users be able to host their own profiles (no fees ever) and connect to the network when they want to be reached for opportunities?

Something like this already exists.

It's always interesting to see a fresh take on something already in use, especially when the focus is on optimization.

However, I completely disagree that Preact is a "React alternative." React is not simply a bunch of code. It's an entire ecosystem with a large community supported by a well-funded entity. A lot of these new libraries and/or frameworks popping up seemingly every other week and claiming to be an alternative to X are just not up to par with the competition and/or the expectations of developers.

Whenever I see something new on the radar, I look at the documentation and commit history. Anything unproven without good documentation, examples, unit tests and/or performance tests is just ignored. If I really like the concept, I'll bookmark it and check on it periodically.
