Have you taken a look at any of AsrockRack's offerings? They've got some prelim 650 mATX boards: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=B...


It’s a fantastic board spec. Timing with them on availability can take longer. If they can get VMware compatible would be great. Because they have dual 10g you need no network card in most cases. AM5 integrated graphics allows bring up / troubleshooting with no additional card (if remote console not working well). My use case I’d trade an extra m2 slot for a pci slot but can see their approach. These boards fit in nice compact setups as a result because u can run no pci and no hd setups

I believe that getting the ice to melt more slowly is the purpose. Regular ice cubes will melt at a faster rate and in turn dilute whichever drink you have them in. In something like water or soda it is less noticeable but with something like whisky, you will end up noticing it more.


I don't get why there seems to be hostility towards Outpost. On both occasion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7637010 and the current) the articles have been relevant to the YC community and to my knowledge hadn't been up voted by sock puppets that we created or operated. This article mentioned Outpost once and wasn't even centred around it. I could have replaced Outpost with any other company and it still would have same purpose.


Our hostility is to abuse and gaming of HN. If you aren't doing it, it must be someone else. In that case, their dedication to promoting your personal blog is remarkable.

They managed to find their way to both of your own (now deleted) submissions of this article from medium.com, and then helpfully re-submitted it from your personal domain and ring-voted it up. They don't seem interested in anything else, either. Quite the fans.


My account had posted it from Medium earlier but I realized how SLOOW it was loading so I loaded up a Ghost Blog droplet for Digital Ocean and reposted it there. I needed a new account to post it on behalf of so a smashed my keyboard. Voial!


The reason you didn't address what phea said is that you promoted this story through abusive techniques. So abusive, in fact, that we've banned your main account too, as well as this site.

Edit: We're also banning the site that you've abusively promoted here in the past [1].

It was what I originally was planning on doing but felt that a personal response would be better than a bot. During the hours of 3am - 9am I do set it up to be auto replies but there's not much traffic anyways. There are similar Twitter bots that do this and I've spoken to someone from Twitter about a grey of the ToS area I might be able to work in.


If there isn't that much traffic between 3am and 9am, then why is it worth it to spam during those hours?


A question of ethics. I could have written it to be as flexible with its replies as possible but I didn't want it to look like spam. Even now the odd tweet gets passed but it occasionally makes for a laugh as the replies I'm giving make no sense based on the question.


If this is the tweet you blanked out in the article: https://twitter.com/DeasesRuthann/status/464740467213496320

I'm interested in how that works. Is it a realistic-looking spam account you can hire? (Not judging - genuinely interested.)


Whatever it is, it's replying to tweets that have nothing to do with their spammy service:

She or he is supposedly in the UK and they "know a few places in Monroe"?

Some of their "tweets":

"About ready to knock doc the fuck out if if he keeps fuckin with these grades""

"Boost Male fertility http://bit.ly/aA4gur"

"I can never use anyone either I got it or ima wait on it frfr and that's that I really don't need nobody for shit"

"Miley Cyrus USED to be fucking stunning"

"Them was some good ass fights people who was there got the best view we just tried to include the outsiders and yall being ungrateful he'll"

Congrats on being a worthless spammer.


We have a few realistic accounts which we maintain. During office hours we manually reply to the tweets but we can't, unfortunately, be up 24/7.


To me, this is a big no-no. If you're answering someone who posted a question and it's clear that you're the business behind the product/answer that's okay with me. But if you're using a personal profile (real? fake?) to push traffic to your website, you're actively misleading people.


It's something I've thought about and both our current investors and potential future investors have mentioned that this could be a product on its own. If I were to scale it up and turn it into its own startup I'd want to make sure not to saturate the tweetosphere with it or there's no benefit over the competition. I'd also probably license it out to early stage startups instead of bigger companies because no one wants to be spammed to by the next HP, Apple or Dell computer when you ask for suggestions from friends.


A similar product exists : http://launch.c4chq.com/


Also a YC startup called InboxQ just shows you the questions to let you manually respond.


Thanks @jaredsohn . I wonder how I can get in touch with them.

I have been trying to preview it, but the it get stuck after Enter keywords. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jr3kkq1x4p6wf3q/Screenshot%202014-...


If you click on "Help" on their webpage, it takes you to a getsatisfaction page: https://getsatisfaction.com/inboxq


Over the past eight years didn't sound as sexy.


Be very very careful with this sort of thing. Try "the better part of a decade" if you want a phrase with a similar ring but actual truth behind it.


"Over the past quasi-decade"


"Spanning two decades"


It would have been the truth.


I'm planning on doing a more in-depth write up on how NER/NLP in the tweetosphere is different that general NER/NLP which will by me technical explanation of what I did here. That should be up sometime later this week.


Can you elaborate more on how having these specific tweets helps your specific startup or how you are converting them from casual tweeters to your new users?

Right now there is a big disconnect in the post. I am guessing its because you assume the reader understands even what ner/nlp is


Check out our API for your NER needs, we cover quite a large corpus of people, places & things. Might be able to broaden your scope: https://www.repustate.com/semantic/


I'm very interested by the follow-up post, but there's no email subscription on your blog. :(
