You pay for "close" to it, but no chat app is going to have 100% uptime at scale.

Seems obvious to me. Most companies will take the most unreasonable customer complaint and ask how they can fix the customer's boo boo, with a smile. Meanwhile, a reasonable complaint from staff could be seen as an uprising of the work

Is picking on one of the better games in the already limited fighting game genre really our target?

I'm glad I had the chance to live and work in HK from summer 2016 -> Fall 2017. It wasn't the best place ever, but I'd hate to see it lost. Seeing this is crazy. As for diversity, it's a unique mix. Notable quantities

So, this will fund ~2-3 people over the next 3 years. That's by my estimate.

Agreed, but insert an equivalent hop without alcohol and you'll see what I mean.

Both of these are true. I can't believe anyone thinks that my hobbyist purchase affects the transportation business model of Bird. That's like thinking cars are putting buses out of business in Chicago. I've also rented a cou

Me dropping cash on a scooter was just an interesting aside. I'm one of two people in town I've seen on a personal e-scooter. Most people don't want to own. It's less useful for bar hopping and you're on the hook fo

No way is it the bulk of the funding and I bet VCs do well on the aggregate, which is why they are using their services. These institutions would all abandon ship. Until the CA pension goes bust due to VCs, I'm still OK with what they

It's a product tons of people do/will use in every city in the US that doesn't require physical presence, aside from chargers on contract. How many products can you say that about? There are only a few things nearly everyone

I'm a Denver local and like them a lot. So much that I bought my own premium model for $2500. Cars, even if they are in designated parking spaces, are even worse litter to me. They are everywhere and get a free pass. As for the waste,

A 3 month period of the police targeting this property crime would be awesome.

Even harder to find ones that wish to remain working for a startup!

Turns out people don't actually need much, so "need generation" is way more profitable.

What part of basic economics tells you this? I could think of a few ways that this makes total sense. $50 is $400 in an 8 hour day. There are places where $1000-1500 covers you for the month, even with non-local, white guy pricing. My hourl

Right. Imagine teaching most people to pipe "ls" into "grep", even without any flags. You've already lost double digit percentages of people.

I just don't think the new housing is coming...ever. There's too much money tied up in the real estate to devalue it. People save up for a long time to get some of that property. They aren't going to want a price cut to happe

> That leaves most people living in vehicles without a legal place to sleep. In LA, that is. For the estimated $20-30 per night the article states this might cost, we could get these people into actual housing in the midwest. Until they&

Building software wasn't what I was talking about. They've obviously done that. I'm talking about the sheer amount of software and people that support those efforts now, in addition to how much profit comes from it. Surely it

His point is that their competitive salaries, regardless of their numbers, make other companies, with profit, up their offers a bit. Instead of getting a small slice of the pie, we get a small slice plus a few percentage points (that perhap

Not sure it will be the same. 2008 was not just a regular business cycle recession. That was a huge event that I agree would be devastating. Tech work is much more diversified now, right? Did capital one, starbucks, nordstrom, Walmart, Targ

Thank you for at least questioning this nonsense. Video recording law is probably the worst combination of misinformation and actually coming up in someone's life.

I'm not buying it. What companies are you thinking of? I feel like I will either find them seeking out a generalist for some subset of their workload or a company that is just as young and valuable that hires massive numbers of general

A general studies major doesn't ascertain that you have a basic competency in any desirable skill. The kind of generalists we are talking about actually have the competency to at least make MVP quality work in a few areas.

I don't think there is a spec, but looking at an image of a b-2 versus the image in the article should give you an idea to start with.

This thing looks sick. I wonder if any savings will make its way to the customer. > Passenger comfort is also taken into account. That could mean just about anything, fwiw.

I'm from the Midwest and feel the same way. SF and the like are for people looking to ladder climb. If people just want to survive, it's almost too easy in the Midwest. Struggling in Cali is a choice. Pack a U-Haul and go.

It's a classic thing people interject when it isn't relevant. You nearly cannot discuss housing costs in Florida or Indiana on the internet without someone from SF feeling the urgent need to say "lol that would get me a cardb
