I wonder how much you’re being caught by protections set up against bad actors. Bad actors have massive incentive to try all sorts of insanely advance schemes to ensure their cash flow (I saw this both at MP3.com and Zynga early days). As

This. It’s a great interface for a kid. Find the thumbnail of the thing you want to watch, press a button. Kids will rewatch the same episode repeatedly, so the interface is optimized for that.

I hear ya; you're not off on most of this. However if you're building a web service, Vercel (and its kin) make CI/CD ridiculously easy. Easy as in like 5 minutes easy, and it's worth the 5 minutes for the all the benef

Comments in this thread remind me why it’s so efficient to use the auto buying program from Costco. You deal with the fleet managers instead of regular sales staff and all required/optional costs are upfront and non-negotiable. If you

I think this is an overly dire warning, but the core of it is correct. If you get a random reach out, it probably means a discussion with an associate who is building out their network/pipeline and doesn't have much, if any, sway

I have a lastname@gmail and I get a steady stream of material invoices for someone who builds prisons in Africa. I tried for a while to push back but to no avail. Upside - I know how much concrete is denoted by Zambian kwacha.

It has a ton of space, you could remove the rear seats or fold them against the side. Mine had fantastic reliability and the 4 wheel drive worked very well in the snow.

Back in the day when I bought my Element, upon delivery the dealer told me to never wash it out with a hose. I asked why they gave that advice, and the dealer said there was an ad (I think print?) by Honda that showed a dude hosing out an

When I was at Zynga, I helped start the publishing dept. One of our first published games was Ravenwood Faire done by Romero and Hall. My primary memories of that engagement are that Tom Hall was one of the nicest people I ever met in gami

Maybe tangent to this but I am really enjoying Cloudflare Workers w/KV and Durable Objects. Currently running over 80% of my company’s infra on it and it’s a monthly cost under $50.

Not a company per say, but last week after going through the terminal 2 security checkpoint at San Diego Airport, I passed by a shelf holding a Windows laptop - probably 7-8 years old - open, running an application, with a sign taped to the

If you’re letting go of 900 people, for the average person their manager is also being let go. In a good amount of cases, probably their manager’s manager. I think it was a good call for the CEO to do it instead of outsourcing to HR or a C
