I'm hoping that Infracost doesn't need the entire state file shipped to an outside service/server, like the one mentioned here does.

State files should be considered secret....

  $ terraform state pull | curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- https://cost.modules.tf/

But "When people invest" - This isn't investment behavior. This is speculation and most likely simple addiction to gambling behavior they drive and incent people to do.

It depends :-) Some seem to have a fall-back or fail-safe that isn't overwritten. Even with flashing known firmware, the reliability of the little guys was questionable. Random lockups and very touchy to power source.

The quality and consistency of firmware/functionality/hidden stuff on the various 8266's I have leads me to avoid them. I had a pair that phoned home to some Chinese domain and registered all via HTTP, and a quick Wireshark yielded it phoned home for commands. Not on my network... You can pick them up cheaper on ebay, as well.

I had to disable uorigin adblock and use incognito.

Neat. One feedback - when using uorigin adblock adding anything throws a 500

Disclaimer: I'm just a product/biz guy that codes on the side.

I started using CodeAnywhere earlier this year to manage a small PHP+mysql geospatial email system for an aviation charity I do the tech for...so wanted something cheap (its $120 a year?) and able to teach a non-tech how to go in and make a change (as I don't want them making edits in the github UI). I was also using my Chromebook a lot while traveling and using shared space, so I needed a decent dev environment without Chrome plugins/jankiness/slowness from a 4gb system.

They have Android and iOS apps that make changes when on the go a touch easier, though code on a Nexus is pretty rough on a plane :-)

So far, pretty good - initially they were making changes to how containers were created and destroyed, causing some changes in the syntax of how a container is defined thus causing mine to be troublesome. However, their support was pretty responsive and got it sorted out.

gomix.com as mentioned here already is pretty new but has been reliable for me so far. It is a fogcreek venture so I imagine it will mature pretty quickly.

Sent something in a while back for the PM role, might be too senior but liked the product, never heard anything back.

I'm not terribly keen on providing my actual login to my bank. Ie, adding Betterment asks me for my user/pass Betterment user login (they don't offer 2 factor) - something anyone could then use to login and manage my money there.

I see you're using plaid underneath to connect; so giving some assurance that plaid is handling the data flow and sway will not be storing usernames/passwords would be nice (if that is true).

Do you have a source for

  "Slack stores data unencrypted on their servers" ?

I hear ya.

Can you provide points on where everyoneapi excels over Fullcontact or Whitepages (vendor we use, vendor we're evaluating)?

You don't want to say anything negative about your competition?

Why did you start a new service to compete then?

Comment · 11 years ago
Without being able to see the site, just a guess-question here - but how does this compare to FullContact or Refresh.io (recently sucked up by LinkedIn)?
