I've never seen one, and at this point have gotten so used to finding what I want that it has never occurred to me, but this seems like a nice little bookmarklet idea.

There was a loophole in the various provisions created to ensure rural connectivity that allowed for companies to advantage of the fact that independent and competitive local exchange carriers were able to bill higher per minute fees than a

I'm hopeful and generally agree with your points, actually. The Tesla value prop is very much the seamless/tight experience, and that has its pros and cons much does Apple vs others. Consumers win when there's both. My overal

Sure, it can be done and I'm all for it, but historical track record hasn't been great here with automakers keeping their systems pretty close to the chest.

A lot of the infotainment can be commoditized (and should) by Android Auto and Apple Car Play instead of the various levels of awful put out by the legacy manufacturers but where Tesla shines is the interplay of the actual car hardware and

I do think there's something to be said for both. Tesla software truly is pretty impressive and it's unheard of for a car to get better over time and supercharger helps alleviate a lot of range anxiety. That all said, it's a

One thing about checks that perhaps doesn't get touched on a lot...plenty of businesses use them as part of their accounts payable process wherein they are invoiced on some type of payment terms (whether it's due on receipt or com

I think the mental hurdle here is that while the warranty might be short, the fridge doesn't just stop working after the warranty period is over. And if it does, well there's a 100+ year old industry of fridge repair. But, given t

This isn't a comment on the advertising but I am struck by how Tesla and Elon Musk remind me of Apple and Steve Jobs. Both very divisive companies and leaders prone to downright emotional attacks from one side and staunch defense by th

First Republic has phenomenally great service and absolutely terrible tech, UI, etc. It all boils down to what your needs are from your bank. FRB are not great when it comes to lines, venture debt, etc but for day-to-day banking it's n

Anecdotally, I've found that Microsoft Teams is better with virtual background/intelligent cropping than Zoom is for me. Teams is able to work perfectly so far as I can tell while things seem to punch through on Zoom.

Microsoft didn't NEED to buy the domain, they could have patched their code to handle the issue. Clearly, they did a cost benefit and decided it was worth it to buy the domain to plug a hole they created. Another poster used the stocks

I've never heard of this phrase. At first I thought ships but then within the context of Twitter and their nomenclature, Fleets as temporal and Tweets as short messages made more sense, though I still thought it a terrible name.

A general contractor can penalize/blacklist sub contractors who don't take their jobs, too. Of course, most of the time, there are reasonable humans on both sides and this can be solved, whereas the gig services operate at a scale

Dotcom companies flush with cash, high stock prices, or both buying up old-world industries was a hallmark of the late 90s boom, culminating in the same parent (AOL), buying Time Warner. There were many aspirational plays predicated on som

Thanks for bringing this up. I always see only positives when discussing remote work but there’s never any consideration made for those who otherwise whose jobs rely on in-person interaction.

You’re correct about Zoom Technologies though ZM is the proper ticker for the record

I suspect it's because Microsoft's core DNA is B2B so they're able to justify an accelerator and the subsequent resource pull for it by going that route. Your latter suspicion is also not unfounded either I'd bet.

It's not necessarily one or the other but definitely skews towards the aesthetics/fashion element. That said, the best designed sneakers often rank highly on both of those dimensions. Another poster mentioned Nike's rise in r

It's a good tagline but The Zoom still involves the first 5-10 minutes of technical issues interspersed with drop off and, in my opinion, doesn't displace the value of interaction IRL. Rather, I think it makes conference (formerly

At this point it feels cultural and engrained in their DNA. There's no way this can keep happening otherwise.

Sure it does. It just might not work for you. I can certainly respect that everyone's situation is different but I do think your original comment is highly Bay Area biased. There are plenty of other (better IMO) areas that are more aff
