Everything Elon has done on Twitter over the past couple months. My mom is in the same situation; she was considering a Tesla but now won't be caught dead in one.

When I'm sick, but not dying, the last thing I want to do is haul myself out to an urgent care unnecessarily to spend money and time, and be in the presence of other sick people. This is detrimental to getting better as soon as possibl

Do you have a source? Why would unions fight to keep data from being logged that would ensure that their members aren't overworked? If you're not logging all the working hours how can you even be sure everyone is being paid correc

So have another column adjacent to the date that stores an enum with an error code with a reason for why the date is missing. My point is, this is business logic, doesn't have a universally applicable definition, and should be handled

It depends on the use case. For something like birthday, ID expiration date, etc., just being able to type in the correct values is the best UI. But for a use case like scheduling something in the near future (e.g. a flight, delivery, whate

I don't like the framing of this article (though the facts it presents about how SBF's bail works are good). In particular these parts stuck out at me: > How, you may ask, does a dude who is so clearly impervious to reality, w

Agreed. If you own your own detached house it's easy to charge your EV. Get a 240V 50A circuit put in and you can charge basically any EV back up to full in the time period between arriving home in the evening and first heading out the

So who becomes the arbiter of which victims are "worthwhile" to try to seek justice for and which get thrown to the wolves? Do you think going down this path is likely to end up in a good place?

Well for starters they have over a thousand employees, plus office leases, plus I'm sure cloud provider fees, marketing, and more. There are expenses for sure.

There's no such concept of "reserving" domain names in a pre-sale. Either you own it, someone else owns it, or it doesn't yet exist and anyone could own it. I think you got confused by a registrar's "preorder&q

They're not remotely digging foundations across the entire footprint yet. This thing is (in theory at least) supposed to be 170 km long. The linked article says that only half of that length even has any construction activity on it yet

I live in NYC and the city does indeed charge higher property tax on more valuable properties, so I'm not exactly sure what point you think you're making here? Charging property tax proportional to the value of the property is com

As usual the best, most informative comments come in long after the sound and fury of the initial discussion. This is a tricky issue to solve. It's not like we can region-lock domains to a specific country, like how Steam is able to us

To clarify, they paid a premium price for the first year. Had they been paying in USD it would be the same initial price as the renewal price, but apparently they're paying in Turkish lira so exchange rate changes come into play. Wha

I'll have to defer to the registrar team then, as we're getting outside the purview of anything having to do with the registry. I feel that the volatile exchange rate with high sustained inflation might have something to do with

When .app was launched we saw a sustained 1,000 QPS of domain registrations through the first minute. We literally are not allowed by ICANN to prevent any valid registrations, as we must treat all registrars and registrants equally. Als

Don't forget the time-value of money though. Not paying $XXXX now is worth a lot more than not paying $XXXX decades in the future.
