My favorite restaurant is called [Crown Shy](https://www.crownshy.nyc/) after this very thing. Enjoy but please try to keep what little secret is left by not spreading the good word too widely.
FWIW I found it much easier to get a reservation at Crown Shy last minute compared to most nice restaurants in NYC, starred or not. Didn't even realize it was starred until after (probably a good thing so I don't set expectations too high).
Yes. There are 23+k restaurants, how many of those are "fine-dining"? Put another way, you could go to a different Michelin starred restaurant every week in NYC and still not go through the list...
Also, not all Michelin restaurants are that good... (In NYC, I think they are because it is so competitive but I've been disappointed in SF and Hong Kong for instance).
So FYI - just because a restaurant has a Michelin star, it doesn't mean it is always packed nor good.
Up to a certain price point, restaurant websites are inversely correlated with food quality. Presumably, once they get successful enough to charge for fine dining, they can also afford to pay for a decent website.
We recently evaluated play.ht for TTS but decided against it because you had an async API which was harder to implement. Alternatives have sync APIs (including Google Cloud). Do you have plans to release a sync client for standard TTS?
This is cool. I find myself also often taking screenshots and sharing as a convenient source of info.
I also feel like when I share the screenshot - via slack, the million messaging clients my various friends / colleagues use, etc. - the context and convo is often lost.
I see the value here in unifying that data in one place - instead of the screenshot, I can just share a link and then go and find all the screenshots somewhere. I like that. Actually, now that I think about it, if you set the `og tags`[1], chat apps should also make an image preview when you paste a link (maybe you are already doing this - I didn't check) so it's a similar effect as what we do today but with the added benefits of cataloging / commenting / finding.
Congrats on launching. Who do you envision as the primary users and first niche use cases?
Thanks! Open Graph tags are a great idea. I'm going to add them and push an update soon :) Like you said, this is an improvement over just dropping snapshots into slack, since you keep a lot more information with it (the original link and any conversation on that screenshot).
Initial use case: I think it's really useful if you're developing a website and want to screenshot bugs or feature requests, draw what it should do instead, and add comments (and dismiss when fixed!). I used MarqLink extensively for this while developing MarqLink.
The inspiration was actually a tool called SnipIt that we used extensively at Alphabet. I really wanted that same tool outside the company, but with additional features (organization and comments) that SnipIt never had.
We used SnipIt all day long -- especially for screenshotting graphs, capturing bugs, and building presentations.
Of course, the weird thing is that inside Alphabet, everything was public across the company by default. This obviously doesn't work in a public product, so I'm curious to see if some kind of "default group sharing" setting ends up being needed, since everything is private by default now.
Prof. Abelson wanted to hammer home the point porn was a problem on the internet back in 1998 and thought putting up a porn site for the first slide of a lecture would make his point.
Was his flashing the room like that a free speech issue - or a thoughtless dickhead issue?
Independent of his legal "right" to conduct a class in that manner - it's basically kind of asinine to assume your students need to have their buttons expressly pushed in order to appreciate the basically obvious point he felt he needed to make. Or that if people object his resorting to such a stunt - that means they're "offended" by it.
You can, but it requires a lot more admin of copying and pasting tasks/descriptions into your calendar from your task or project manager, and having to maintain/update in two separate tools.
For people not using task or project managers, often the calendar is enough (and indeed becomes their task manager). However, if you have tasks coming from everywhere, we make it super easy to do timeblocking quickly/efficiently.
Just commenting again here to vouch for this statement. I've spent a ton of time in both cities, and Miami is so different but in my opinion miles better. Constant sun and breezes. 8 months of perfect weather. Actual diversity, not just in ethnicity but also walks of life. Awesome little open bars and restaurants all over at any hour. The people - both men and women, are beautiful. Many people dress nicely and with pride - you'll always see men in nice suits and hats, and women in nice dresses. I just found that interesting as it was so different than most other places, reminded me of something from a movie.
Miami is criminally underrated. Ultimately I just don't enjoy living in a 'big city', but for anyone that does, I highly recommend giving it a try!
In most employment contracts in the US, the employer owns anything you create, including what you do in your personal time. But not in California, which happens to have a thriving startup culture, many of which were created after work hours.
Not OP, but speaking from personal experience and preference, summers in So Fl aren't that bad. It rarely goes above 90, and there's a constant sea breeze. Don't get me wrong, it is hot, but never unbearable.
I spend time north of there and as long as you’re on the ocean summers are awesome. Walking on the beach is just about always great on a hot day since you get sea breeze and can cool off in the water. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it sure is mine!
