Does changing your DNS modify this behavior? I had some similar issues with Cox in DC, and switching to run everything through 8.8.8.8 resolved the issues. It also resolved a problem with CenturyLink in Seattle where for whatever reason I c

That's at least a bit north of average, IME. PM friends of mine are in the 150-180 range for base pay. Can't speak to equity comp.

I get stuck on stuff like this constantly, and both the symptom and cause lists feel very accurate.

Edit: gburdell3's answer – that there was never a "real" version, and it was only ever a white label package – seems likely. -- My experience manufacturing in China is that unless you're paying to have your own people on

You have a point that radio ads are less hostile and invasive than more targeted advertisement, but that argument feels a bit like "It's less defensible to resist a stabbing, because it's better than getting shot" Resist

My experience is that a hobby gives a pretense for communication – which is an opportunity for depth, but not a guarantee. "Oh yeah, X guitar is so sick" is a shallow conversation. vs "Yeah, I've always had a soft spot f

I'm in a weird position where I feel like I've both got this figured out, and yet totally don't. Ping me (email in profile) if you wanna grab a beer around Seattle some time. Bonus points if it's West Seattle. I'm b

I'm in Seattle as well, and this looks neat. Will check it out and try to attend.

The email box shakes violently if you stick around for a bit. It almost seems like an easter egg, rather than a user-hostile plea for attention.

As a resident, Seattle's drug policy seems okay. I think the goal of harm reduction, trust building, and getting people back on track is a laudable goal. People need a pathway back, not to keep being kicked down. But we need higher sta

Agreed on the "typing" thing being somewhat invasive. I'm not sure that can be turned off... In iMessage, the "seen" notis (read receipts) are set on the reader side. They're totally customizable and can be glo

I think I'm your target market. But this isn't the thing I expected. I have like half of the issues on the list of topical chatrooms, and I like finding new communities of cool people. But I don't want to sit in a room full o

Lexapro preserved my personality shockingly well. A friend who took it said the same thing. We felt like ourselves the whole time, just without so much anxiety. If you drink caffeine or consume sugar, the "altering" thing is alrea

Not a lawyer, but my guess is that since people are self-reporting into a text capture tool, quirk is no more liable than Microsoft would be if users were to do this into Word.

The little circle guys are hilarious. I really like how instructional the landing page is, with a sort of old-world informational ad copy style instead of just a bunch of flashy screenshots. Taking it for a spin, and wishing you the best!

I'm glad. I'm tired of dragging my friends around various messaging platforms, but it needs to happen. This will help.

I lost my dad to this. So far, nothing helps. I have no idea what the solution is. It only works when THEY want out. But why would they? We're brutally, brutally mean to people like this. Every time somebody dunks on a flat earther or

That makes some sense. I'm not sure where I stand on it. On the one hand, it seems a bit unjust that smaller creators should be snuffed out for things that wash off the back of established players. A two tiered justice system isn'

I've seen others that allege that the YT related-to algo is being systematically gamed to raise the prominence of such videos, so the removal is a return to norm, rather than a suppression. What's frustrating is that we don't

Is it even possible to scale a human operation to this level, even with youtube's checkbook? It's not that AI needs to replace empathy alone, it needs to replace culturally and legally nuanced judgement about copyrighted works, am

You're right, I was loose with my language there. It is never "required" in the way that eg Phoenix AZ would demand. It's a convenience. "Desirable" would have been a better word.

Window mounted AC units are $100 - $200. It sits in a closet except for the 2 months a year that Seattle requires AC. A proper central air system would be overkill, but the small one is worth it. I wonder if window / removable units fa

I did almost mention those. Negotiating POS rates is in the realm of much bigger shops than I've run. At the 100k/mo mark, that's $2k/mo, which... I'd honestly still take shopify, but yeah, it starts to be worth ask

I am plenty technical to do this and it still sucks. We moved to shopify from a plumbed-together solution like that and it's a world of difference. First, shopify is like $30 for a month. I'm $30 for a few minutes. The cost saving

I think it's tricky because it's both ways. If you are a current smoker, switching to vaping at an equal interval is a healthy move. I know many people with the same story about switching to vaping and it being great. If you'
