At HomeLight we migrated from Heroku to Porter and it has been great. The team has been super helpful, the platform as stable as you can get, and the cost savings have been tremendous.
I’d highly recommend Porter as the place to go to get started these days. I don’t see any reason that we will migrate away in the next few years, if ever.
I ride a public bus from oakland across to SF a couple mornings a week (used to be every morning before covid) and that trip is basically like this. 3/4 full bus, no one standing, good cell coverage most of the way.
Shortcut maybe? It's definitely not the same exactly and I haven't used PL in a ton of years, but I think it works pretty well overall. The general organization is Milestones -> Epics -> Iterations -> Stories
I agree. I also drive a volt and 98% of the time it's driven with the battery, but those 2% of the time where I need/want the engine (like a camping trip this past weekend), it's really great.
I don't every want a 100% electric car. We're a 1 car household so I really want the flexibility of going wherever without having to plan around the charger network.
44m and my primary for of exercise these days is cycling. I clocked aust about 4,300 miles riding last year (down from 5,000 the year before). I ride 3-5 days a week normally. Some of these are 45 minute indoor rides on a trainer in the winter, but most of them are 1 hr to 5 hr rides after work or on the weekends. It helped to join a club that has regularly scheduled rides. I do a tuesday gravel ride and a thursday road ride with the club every week during the summer. They take up most of the evening (530-730 roughly), but I feel great when I'm on this schedule.
- not if it comes at the price of huge invasion of privacy
- Given the incredible amount of data they have, I'm constantly amazed at how bad FB/Amazon/others are at suggesting what I'm likely to be interested in
I for one support this. Too many people in the thread are just saying a phrase like "Free markets" while making no point foolishly, followed by rhetorical questions. Allow me to be unambigious.
If we agree that overconsumption of groundwater combined with under-replenishment of all frewshwater resources due to climate change implies a coming strategic shortage of water, then yes, absolutely, state and federal government should be severely scrutinizing where water is going and prohibit excess water consumption for luxuries and for exports.
Another way to go about it would be what the person above you said: Create tiered pricing for water such that the reasonable monthly use of water is as close to free (minus upkeep of water infrastructure) as possible, while quickly ramping up marginal cost.
I’d highly recommend Porter as the place to go to get started these days. I don’t see any reason that we will migrate away in the next few years, if ever.
