Lots of use-cases already proved by the more limited Iridium modules that are available on the market.

I'm however curious what having orders of magnitude more low-bandwidth devices connected to a satellite would do compared to having fewer high-bandwidth devices.

How would that affect the individual satellite's capacity?

GPS is such a critical infrastructure component to modern society- knowing that a redundancy system like this is in the works is great.

I've played "Railroads!" for countless hours - it's an incredible game, especially when LAN'ing with others.

Any reason why this game might be left out?

Eg if you space sensors 20m’s apart.

L1A or O1?

tl;dr: Ran into issues because the DB was expecting a profile picture URL from Google auth (string) or NULL, but JavaScript being JavaScript tried to insert "undefined".

Thanks for removing the permissions in Google, as that's also key in this debugging.

Mind if I send you an email to debug further there?

Where in the process did that error occur for you?

I see in the logs that an error registered, but unfortunately no detail attached. I've beefed up the logging a bit in the onboarding journey on my side to see what could be breaking here if we try again.

Mind trying to log-in/sign up again? You can use "HACKERNEWS" as a promo code, which would make the first month free.

For interest sake, users of Unspam that have a title of CEO on their Linkedin see about ~10% of all mail making it into their inbox be categorised as spam (leadgen, recruitment, or software dev services).

Firstly, this is specifically designed for business users (founders, ceo's) that are already using Google Workspace for email. Using SpamAssassin (afaik) is not possible in that environment.

On the "AI" topic, it's not used because AI is a cool thing. It's used because of the wide permutations these cold emails come in. Lead gen people, SDR folks, and tools like Apollo makes it trivial for outbound sales peeps to send bulk personalised mails. The emails that Unspam focus on are the ones that already make it through Google's "black box" spam filter (and boy, does Google filter out a lot of spam already! like 99% of all mail that hit my inbox).

I can't compare against SpamAssassin, but from using Unspam for the last 8 months, I received 11,951 emails of which 663 we're caught as spam (after Google's spam filter let them through).

Anyhow, the primary goal of this is to make it super easy for busy people like founders and CEOs (who are often non-technical) to simply enable the filter on their inbox and continue with work. :)

To solve this, I created Unspam. Initially, it was a simple tool for myself and fellow founders to reduce noise. And it worked — about 10% of my emails were swiftly and accurately categorized as unsolicited messages.

Given its success, I've decided to package and share Unspam with the broader community, evolving it into Unspam.io.

How it works: 1. Hook up your Gmail 2. Unspam monitors received mail in the background 3. Unsolicited emails are labeled and archived

Please try it out and let me know your feedback. What would you improve? https://unspam.io

I've built various React apps (and iOS apps before that) in the past on a bunch of stacks.

My experience with the following tools were as follows:

- Pusher: love the tool, but required lots of layers on top of it to be used for keeping DB's in sync. It does make sockets trivially easy to get going and use.

- MeteorJS: lots of cool "realtime magic", but hard to break out (it's too opinionated and constrained). We ended up breaking out and running ExpressJS + React + Pusher and ditching MeteorJS.

- Firebase: used it for two projects. Platform lock-in, like weird Firebase-specific nuances to workaround and solve for, felt like quite a lot. You basically have to park your experience with other stacks and databases and become an expert in Firebase. A big one here was around access policies for the data in the database → limiting what data a user can access.

My current stack is now mostly Cloudflare and keeping real-time requirements in the product design to a minimum, to reduce the overhead.

Assuming Gmail account is the core email behind majority of services, so breaching that account would allow password reset on most other services.
