yep, I've done this before with a handy tool called ddclient, although there are other tools out there.

They could also try dynamic DNS. I've had success with using ddclient with a personal (sub)domain with NameCheap.

When I tried out the annotate function on the home page, the finished comment had my first name as the username associated with the annotation. How did it know my name?

"We didn't find any matching results."

My theory is that there are actually a number of "filters" before this kind of relationship would happen. First, the business owner has to recognize the problem, care about it, allot time to understand it, have the proper motivation (financial and mental), and network with others to solve.

Then on the other side of the scenario, the dev has to be logistically available to working on the project, be capable in both the tech and soft skills needed, care about it, have the proper motivation (financial and mental), and network.

The hypothetical business would solve the networking issue, but not the rest. But I think these relationships are built in a more decentralized way, though chance encounters, mutual friends, and cold connections. Sort of like dating. (Kind of is because this relationship seems like one of cofounders.)

Or I could be completely wrong and there is a stealth startup out there ready to shake things up.

Do you have a link to the Dell webpage? Can't find it myself; all the ones I come across are for Windows systems.

Are you keeping a write-up of your progress anywhere? Would love to see how this turns out.

Still getting a hug of death message on my end? Edit: It's up now, looking forward to using it.

According to the book Bad Blood about the Theranos debacle (great book), Holmes had Cooley LLP on to deals with the book's author (John Carreyrou) as well as whistleblowers. I guess they had decided to stick around up until now.

I use privacy.com to get virtual credit cards with controlled limits to avoid surprises like this. Or use prepaid Visa cards.

What motivated Travis's decision to hire someone else rather than develop the initial version himself?
