The terms are not public until the house is sold. In the contract pending state you don’t know how much it is going to sell for. Theoretically if they saw a buyer accepting a crazy low offer they could alert the troops. But it doesn’t need

I feel age has something to do with it as well. I know a lot of people around 50 in tech that have been laid off recently. They generally make more money, so it can be easier to justify.

The universe seems so ridiculously big to me that I can’t imagine anything major happening only once.

But he did have the right to repair... right? He just couldn't get the part. The article title is misleading. They don't support old medical devices, they were following the rules. Yes, they should have handled the customer servic

Garbage in, garbage out. It is not going to imagine your perfect scenario and then create it for you. I take anyone saying it is garbage with a grain of salt because it is incredibly useful for me. And others think so too, so how can your b

There are good doctors and bad doctors just like any other profession. I have gotten plenty of bad advice over the years from doctors. Took me 2 years of going to various doctors to figure out I was having a reaction to mold. My neurologist

Steve Jobs would just say "figure it out". Way less condescending because he isn't trying to offer a solution to something that is your domain of expertise, but it also says he doesn't care if you think it's not fea

I have long wanted to build an engine that let's you book a vacation on points. You connect all the points programs you have and it shows you how to leverage them to get the best deals on flights and hotels. The trick here is that you

It's even worse when using points. Amex now uses Expedia on the back end for hotel booking. I made a res for a hotel in Italy and I tried to change it. Amex says call Expedia. Expedia says call the hotel. The hotel says call Expedia. S

This would only make sense if it isn't actually indexing the permissions, it just checks the file at the time it finds it. That would be DUMB if they did it that way. They can index that one extra field and it would still be fast.

I heard it directly from a YC alum who said he helped me push a post to the top. But this was several years ago. I didn't mean that YC alums would be less likely to upvote that particular article, but it does make the rankings much mor

He was founder of Meetup, acquired by WeWork for $200m in 2017, my guess is for cash. They only raised $18m so that should be a good exit for founders. I don't think he is using his LinkedIn profile to find a new job. I would expect hi

I have always taken a lower salary than early employees. And had periods before raising money and after the money dried up where I was taking no salary. I think it is way way way more common for founders to do this than early employees.

I don’t agree with this sentiment: Investors, founders, and employees all believe that founders are taking more risk than early employees (this isn’t true once founders have exclusive access to liquidity) This completely discounts how much

It doesn't need to be blind stumbling around the web. But you might be right about only grabbing one page, and if you are then I agree that abiding by robots.txt is only going to upset a tiny minority. When they talk about websites it

It is a service that seems to crawl a website for content and feed that content into some LLMs. It should absolutely respect robots.txt. This is exactly what robots.txt is used for, to tell automated crawlers of a website what they should a

That's what s1artibartfast is saying. They want things to be very expensive because that's how they make the most money. Lowering expenses means they need to lower their prices which lowers their revenues which lowers their profit

I bought a fake id 30 years ago that used the actual backs from Rhode Island DMV that they acquired somehow, but then faked the fronts. Equipment like that can absolutely go missing.

I appreciate your point about generative AI exacerbating the dominance of major languages. It's a nuanced issue, indeed. While it's true that AI reflects the linguistic data it's fed, this doesn't necessarily mean it onl

Weaken the competition (google and ms). Bing doesn’t exist because it’s a big money maker for ms, it exists to put a dent in google’s power. Android vs apple. If you can’t win then you try to make the others lose.
