With the Amazon layoffs, a lot of strong PMs, designers, and engineers are suddenly free (unless you are on visa). Instead of job hunting alone, why not form small teams to build and launch samething?

Please suggest AWS S3 alternatives to reduce the PUT cost and not impacting the latency.

Usecase: I want to store 1-1.5mn images (avg size 50kb). All images are deleted after 10 days. 98% of the images are not even viewed once - as a result, I have to save every image.

I have tried Wasabi, but the latency was too high (500ms to 2secs) for the upload from AWS Lambda.

TLDR: Looking for remote chrome browser access connect to a high speed internet and long session times.

Wondering if there are any Remote Browser Isolation services offered for personal use. Cloudflare seems to be for organizations, cant get personal access. Kasmweb provides it, but I am looking for remote browser (with high internet speed) with long sessions probably months or until I explicitly delete the session.

I'm the creator of a Chrome extension with 4.7 stars for 500+ ratings. It is one of Google's favorites of 2022. I noticed a company cloned my code (even though I published the uglified version) and published their version of the extension (they are struggling to bring users though).

I have reached out to the company that cloned, they are demanding the data and a monthly fee to remove their extension.

I am now considering to Copyright my code and its derivatives to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. Is this recommended? Anything else I should take care?

Is there any way I can report this to the Google team and take the other one down?

Unsure if this is the same for everyone but our notification emails from SES are being rate limited by Gmail.

Background:

One of my apps provides time-sensitive email notifications, for 60-90 days, to the subscribers(paid) - so it is critical to deliver emails. We have been using the same email provider and have been using AWS SES for a couple of years now. We have the SPF, and DKIM all verified. Yet, for the last 3 days, we are getting the below email

```

Sub: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

Body: Our system has detected an unusual rate of<CRLF>421-4.7.28 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our<CRLF>421-4.7.28 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily<CRLF>421-4.7.28 rate limited. Please visit<CRLF>421-4.7.28 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to<CRLF>421 4.7.28 review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines.>

```

Troubleshooting till now: I have got the AWS tech support team confirming my email configuration has no issues. AWS team has informed "The current throttling is just that Gmail is seeing a lot of messages from the SES shared IP and is throttling the messages"

>>> Is anyone facing the same issue with AWS? or similar issues with other bulk email service providers?

>>> How do you deal with such issues in the future? Set up alternative email service providers.

>>> Is this the side effect of Gmail's dormant account deletion rolled out last week?

It's been increasingly hard for me to transition to a Product Management from Sr. Data Scientist role. I've tried platforms like pay-only-after-you-get-hired platforms but no success (not even interview calls). My fulltime company has Project Management & Product Development Management roles, but the responsibilities are majorly people management and finishing a project within a timeline rather than scoping out features, launching new product, involve in sales & growth strategy.

About me: (On a work visa in the US)

- 11+ coding experience; 6+ Data Science side. Most of my Data Science side (full-time) involves in pitching the products to the business and building products.

- Have launched & marketed multiple SaaS & Chrome Apps since 2017. Only 3 survived and ongoing; one man show

- Grown a platform to 110K+ registrations in a year, with 2.5K DAU

- One of my chrome extensions is selected as Google's favorite

My interest towards product started for 2 reasons

- 1. Feeling too much of coding in my life (professional & side projects)

- 2. I'm finding more happiness in growing the product than building a app

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

With the recent layoffs (that hurt H-1B visa & GC status) and the long waiting for the US Visa interview appointments in the countries like India & Canada, it seems, there are barriers to entry into the US and maintaining the status. Are they any startups, especially from non-immigrants, that address these pain points?

Yesterday, I've received an email from the Chrome Extension team [chrome-favorites-of-the-year@google.com] informing the one of my extensions has been selected for Chrome Web Store’s end of year list, Favorites of 2022. Chrome wants to recognize outstanding extensions that make the browser experience great for users.

The email further states, "As part of Favorites of 2022, Chrome will feature your extension in a special collection on the Chrome Web Store home page, announce this collection on our social platforms and with press on Wednesday December 14, and send a commemorative gift to the extension publisher."

Firstly, is this legit? Has anyone received a similar email?

I'm working to build a forum for a niche segment. User acquisition is not a problem, I already have social groups with 15K active users/day. I thought it would be good to get HN ideas and feedback in the process so I can avoid pit holes and plan the path right.

1. What framework did you chose?

2. How to tackle Content moderation and maintenance?

3. How to monetize? Ads or Sponsor referrals or other ways?

Any other things to consider, I'm not foreseeing?

I'm curious to see what are the companies applied for the YC Winter 2023 batch. If you are in stealth or don't want to let the public know the niche product you applied with, mention the industry you are serving, monthly revenue, age of the product.

Myself, I'm a solo founder applying with a product in 15K monthly revenue. This is my 3rd application in the last 6 years and the very first time with a 5 digit monthly revenue

| ProductName(Industry) | $Month-Rev | Age | cofounders# |

I run a US non-immigrant community portal that has over 300K monthly visits. I sense there is a bigger opportunity to collaborate with the US consulate officer. I've tried LinkedIn, searching gov records, et al to contact ex-consulate officers. As a last attempt, want to give it a try here.

Any help with leads (forums/groups/websites) on where I can find them is really appreciated. If you (or your network) are an ex-US consulate officer, kindly drop an email to saradhi@extracttable.com. TIA.

I run a service that has a great potential for more users with referrals, as our target segment is groups. Currently, we've integrated rewardful-dot-com, however, the service works only for the Stripe purchases. Is there any other services that offer to integrate with other Payment gateways like (RazorPay) or has the ability to accept the referral purchase by a webhook?
