Just a bad idea to keep it outside of the house, probably best to put it in a safe in your house. Lots of stories about safe deposit boxes getting drilled by accident, stolen, lost etc. Banks don’t really care about them or the business and

At least there’s some creativity to it - making stuff vs. just doom scrolling ads and images. I’d feel better if it wasn’t filtered by the CCP though.

Rumor is the next iPhone will be usb type c, but I thought they’d just remove the port entirely.

I have the 13 mini and love it - I’m sad it’ll be the last one for a long time. The 12 was great too, but the battery life hit was noticeable- the 13 fixed that. I would prefer the telephoto lens to the the warped wide angle (which I find u

+1 though to his credit he does caveat it a bit and states it’s still worth talking about the issues given the technical audience. I do think Moxie is right though and the talk is wrong on the core issue which is federation doesn’t work as

The brick and mortar is a good example because if they did what Facebook is doing fewer may have gone bankrupt when they were destroyed by Amazon. I’m not a fan of the ad driven business model and the damage it’s done, but Zuckerberg and Fa

I think you have it backwards - often it’s institutional power that delays disruptive results and an individual that discovers new things despite that.

These trends have a long history. Halsted's 'radical mastectomy' was similar. He had an incorrect theory of cancer (centrifugal spiral) that caused a lot of unnecessary harm, but it was not possible for people to push back ag

Nah you’re fine - I try to avoid saying things like “never actually work” because there’s always someone on HN who will point to one working example as if that absolves my point, but sometimes I forget. I’ve had thinkpads that don’t work ei

It’s interesting this is still a problem going on twenty years. I guess there’s some reason it’ll never actually work a linux laptop.

It was generally an in good faith comment specifically about the application. The relevant bit to this is the “quite trivially” do X, Y, and Z non trivial thing. Technical people often underestimate the value of good UX, generally there’s a

Salesforce is where good companies go to stagnate and die. Slack selling to them was just giving up for an easy exit. Can’t blame the founders for cashing in I guess (though I wouldn’t want to work for them), but why bother staying as an em

There’s something sad about reading old comments and emails, knowing the mind behind them is gone.

I agree with all of this and also experienced it first hand. It makes it harder to learn because instead of people sharing good info or places to learn they just repeat chants of why you shouldn’t learn it.

Depends on the crash and if employees are underwater or not. In this case Stripe cut their validation by 28% and may give more stock based on that price. Assuming they do, will employees come out ahead when compared to if they had been ab

It's designed to screw employees out of upside and they sell it pretending it's employee favorable. If you reprice equity comp each year then you lose most of the upside. Compare the two following equity plans: Example Year 1: ---

It's worse when that stranger is also surreptitiously filming you to paste it all over the net as evidence of how 'kind' they were to you.

It's the phone I would buy if I was still on Android - it's the first Android phone I've seen in years with a design I actually like. I had Nexus phones prior to switching to the iPhone 5 when it finally had LTE and turn by t

+1 - Medium is a damaged brand, my immediate response is a negative association. Basically the opposite of Substack.

That machine shouldn’t exist - I don’t know why they kept it around. Maybe they just had lots of old hardware they wanted to try to unload.

I thought it was interesting to read the original email thread and the criticism and responses when it was first announced (particularly in light of its success).

Generalizing a bit, but the east coast in the summer is often very hot, humid, and buggy. The east coast fall is often less humid and more temperate (more pleasant to be outside). The west coast summer can be hot, but is rarely humid. Middl

Couldn't they have left a message? Blocking unknown is strictly better than blocking everything. Automatically transcribed voicemails work in exceptional cases like you describe.

Yeah this is the complaint people often bring up, but in practice I’ve found it doesn’t matter in real world usage.
