Simmons wrote one of my favourite short stories of all time Vanni Fucci is Alive and Well and living in Hell.

While I'm definitely not willing to put myself through any of his books after 9/11, I haven't stopped recommending Vanni Fucci as an introduction to Dan Simmons.

Rest in peace.

They run 4000 VMS as a stingy aerospace company so you can definitely assume less than a 100 physical machines.

Without further enterprise negotiations, it's 1800 per host/year. $180k max.

I don't blame Vates for refusing to chase down the company. They'll bring you way more pain as paying clients than the shameless theft they're perpetuating.

OP here. I edited the title from Partner to Lover to distinguish between business and romantic partners but I just found out "Lover" carries an incendiary connotation in American English as opposed to British English.

Not my intention at all....

Not a catholic but I kept a tab on the process because the Catholic church seemed to lean towards a very conservative candidate and i was interested to see how it pans out. Turns out we have an American Pope and he wasn't even a top contender.

I'm really disappointed that Notion acquired and killed a far better product (Skiff) just to release what is essentially an overdressed Gmail client.

There's no decent selling point over other competitors in the industry and Notion just missed the chance to tie customers into a alternative workspace suite.

Might have to change the title to Show HN: LeetGPU, a playground to learn GPU programming.

To be fair, They had the "Wise" name first and only had to rebrand after TransferWise rebranded.

Still gave a major scare though.
