You can absolutely walk into a showroom and buy one. Not a rare model but you could walk in with no relationship and buy a 296 now.

I'd suspect many of them are - almost all go through new jersey if I remember correctly - with many going to Ferrari North America (FNA)


Lots of issues in us-east-2 for instances for us but also other regions when connecting to RDS


Yes - our service is down right now from connectivity issues (can’t reach RDS)


I worked with Kaz at Facebook - he's the reason I would want to work at Shopify.


Love Canny

We use them at CommentSold for feature ideas, bug reports, and even top 1% feature ideas. The ability to tie it into our product and see the features voted on from an MRR aggregate not a vote-aggregate is phenomenal


Thanks for being a customer, Brandon! Definitely let us know how we can push the envelope even further here with regards to MRR/SaaS aggregation.


What is “comment selling”?


Without doing the sales pitch, it's using comments as the medium for indicating purchase intent instead of clicking on a link

"Oh, you like this item you see on your facebook feed? Comment sold and your size to order it"


Ah. Makes a lot of sense. Gets the person to a lower friction commitment point where they feel like they’re going back on their word if they abandon at that point. And you can harass them with PMs to follow up lol.


Having used tiktok for a total of 10 hours now, I get programmer humor, car videos and funny animal videos - exactly what I want

That's the whole point - the ability to curate content that you will like is phenomenal, especially given the non-obvious inputs to their model. Like a video? Sure you'll see more of that kind of stuff. You may not think about scrolling up/down to restart the video, watching it multiple times, sharing it, opening/closing the comments (and I'm sure 10,000 other inputs) all feed into it's ability to curate


"very fit" - not from a purely medical perspective. He had a pre-existing and related respiratory condition - asthma


This is entirely incorrect

The ultra-rich will have a variable level of "decreased performance in their portfolio". They're still rich, especially if not over-levered. They are also well positioned to take advantage of any hyper-inflation event.

The average american, with the loss of their primary income and no real UBI is going to feel it the most.


For the USD to hyperinflate, we would have to print quadrillions and quintillions of dollars.

Hyperinflation is about as real a threat as Bigfoot, or little green men from mars.


It was a lot of fun watching the project and community evolve. I think you and the team did an excellent job. I remember a huge spike in users around when discovery.etcd.io launched. It was really a game changer for us building large-scale multi-data center telecom systems. I still remember bootstrapping the first cluster in a 24 data center test and having things blow up, particularly in higher-latency environments (cross-DC)

Fast-forward 4 months, the project had grown and scaled to support the influx of new curious devs and use-cases that stretched the bounds of what was possible at the time. At the end of the 4-months, we had a 128 node cluster that stayed up for years and still powers all of the emergency notifications in a few states in the US!


Woah! I would love to get this testimonial in our production users doc!

"We want to buy Shopify but we can pay 1/10th of Shopify's valuation"

I think Magento is "fairly priced" priced at ~10% of Shopify's valuation


The code is already Adobe Quality and with a horrifically overengineered database layer to boot. They'll get along just fine.
