Yep, a live performance theater venue. We mostly host cabaret, circus, magic, specialty movie screenings with interviews/panels, comedy, etc. We’ve even hosted mimes! Our biggest hit so far was hosting the Star Wars parody burlesque sh

I’ve been starting and growing a live theater venue in San Francisco for the past couple years, taking a break from the tech world. It’s finally starting to build some good momentum and I’ve even got some paid employees now. This year I’m h

Marketing emails from Square are especially frustrating because I do want to opt into receipts via email when I make purchases using my credit card on Square registers. It’s especially convenient for my business credit card, even when I mak

Standalone software keeps working more or less forever regardless of the company. I still use Jasc Paint Shop Pro X from something like 15 years ago as my image editing software. It might not be as good as more modern software, but I know h

Horsepower can make it go faster, but the major limitation is graphics memory. Graphics cards with under 12 GB of memory can’t handle the model (although I believe there are lower-memory optimizations out there), which means you need a pret

Driving generally works well offline, but biking, walking, and transit don’t. Some random features like search history or shared lists also seem to not work or work badly offline. Maybe you and the parent comment are using it differently?

I thought all GSM telcos are required to work with any device you put the SIM card into? At least that was the case in the LTE days. Has the law changed? With the FCC getting so politicized I wouldn’t be surprised, but it’s still news to

I have noticed that a surprising amount of time one product will be in a certain unit while a competitor product will be in a different unit. So one will have the price per pound and one will have the price per ounce, good luck trying to di

Probably relevant, Bing is not blocked in China the way Google is. capitulation like this on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square might have something to do with that.

Exactly this. My personal hell recently has been the Audible app on iOS. I walk a lot and listen to audiobooks and often on my walks my cellular connection is not great, one bar or so. The Audible app had a redesign a year or two ago where

Because of things like this I stopped updating apps a long time ago. But now many apps have a “phone home“ aspect, where it will literally lock you out of using the app if you don’t upgrade to the latest version every so often. Which is es

That’s a bit of a sensationalist stretch headline. The actual meat of the article is that Instagram/Facebook tells you accepting ad tracking helps to keep Facebook free. Which seems pretty obvious, that is their business model after al
