Indeed. I have actually created a dumb zen phone, and the killer way to do it is put it in supervised mode without the browser or App Store. Then you’re genuinely handicapped. My version has maps, kindle, texting, phone, Spotify, camera, an

Matt Stoller’s theory is that Google at this point is like Boeing was maybe a decade ago — an incredible product company that has already been taken over by finance types, and on the way to irreversible crash.

The U.S. is limited by the productive capacity of the nation. The government can’t command output that doesn’t exist by printing money. It can, however, crowd out private investment and redirect the country’s resources via fiscal policy. It

> to count as a user you have to actually use it to send or read your emails Yeah that's my definition as well. Pretty sure almost everyone who has an iPhone does that, at least now and then

Your theory is that most people who have iPhones do not actually connect their email addresses to the native mail application?

For those not familiar this was actually a pretty impressive product. It's what Facebook used internally for employee communication and engagement. They might not have it in their DNA to run a HR-focused SaaS startup within the organiz

In fairness it’s a little out there for an HN question. But I’m actually curious about the mechanics of it. If you used the app a lot you’d know what I mean. It’s inexplicably bad. Curious for a developers perspective on why.

The killer use case here, as I think most people have figured out, is figuring out where your stuff is when it's in a system you don't have visibility into. Like if UPS says it's "on the way" from NYC to LA or somet

Imagine ranking all the shareholders of the company. For each, you've asked them how much you'd have to give them to convince them to sell. At the top of the list would be the one who is the most interested in selling, and thus is

I think it may be the opposite. People are mad at a culture and economy that is increasingly dehumanizing and exploitative, where they feel hopeless when contemplating basic things like ever having a permanent home for their family, and whe

It was created by the descendants of the Romans, in the same physical location as Ancient Rome, and based on the numerous examples of letters that were still around on Roman buildings. If that is “no connection” what exactly would a “connec

What money? I thought there was no reason to be a VC? Or do they get paid? Is it a lot?

Do you know if lawyers should be paid up front? How about a newly hired employee, do they get a deposit to ensure they will show up on the first day? How about a landlord for your first office? If you make things and sell them to a store do

Well yeah. But thats why the premise makes no sense. At this point weed is as culturally acceptable as anything else as far as I can tell. And I travel a lot, that's true in Texas and NYC and wherever else.

Maybe some day someone will explain what “normalizing” means, specifically what people mean by the “don’t normalize X” construction. Pretty sure between Dr. Dre and Willie Nelson weed got normalized decades ago by any definition I understan
