I know it's not exactly what the article is about, but I just had to share https://parcelsapp.com/ as amazing UX for tracking packages. It's third party and seems to be made by a single guy (not me) but it does ev

How do the economics work out for the seller? Depreciation is highest at the beginning, when these people are paying the per month price. If they can't afford a loan for the price of the car, how are they making a lease payment that co

What you're saying is true, but for context the article is an old April fool's joke. Not sure why it was posted today.

Is that really true though? Anything like the old passion sites would be lost to SEO amongst the deluge of garbage content, thanks to the sheer volume of people at least trying to use the internet to get rich. The quality on average is cert

It would have to be AI generated, right? The cameras can't see behind what they can't see behind.

I live in Europe, I have no idea what a betting parlor is. Pubs have a machine in a corner somewhere with a sad looking person playing a vaguely slots looking game (not sure never played), but I've never seen a parlor or especially one

Middle management and agile almost seems like a contradiction in terms in the first place. Although I guess that's what SAFe is for.

I think some people are talking about startups here and some people are talking about enterprises and it's confusing the issue a bit. Apart from that, I think there's an element of "skin in the game" that benefits startu

For sure I have a La Pavoni and I can get parts lists, diagrams, and everything else I need to rebuild the whole thing if I needed to. https://www.lapavoni.com/en/technical-documentation

Espresso machines, as well, and vintage stereo equipment. I have really come to appreciate the zen of user-serviceable physical stuff.

It also seems to put anything I added recently on heavy rotation.

As an observer from afar it seems like the US is sorting itself into different places with different core values, so presumably whichever group finds your values anathema to theirs likes it there.

What are the chances of hearing the same three or four every day for a week though out of a set of a thousand? Certainly that must be quite unlikely.

I remember Miami was also going to be the new Silicon Valley at one point, did that end up doing any better?

I have a playlist with 150 hours of music on it and it seems to play the same five or six songs every day, no matter what. I wish I could choose "actually random", I wouldn't mind unexpected clustering.

It just makes me think the person saying it is Dwight Schrute or equivalent.

Is it the employees or the agency that decided that?

I don't think it will hurt anyone, people will just use OpenAI or whatever other service instead of a Facebook-provided one. They are just ensuring they can muddy the waters when there is eventual blowback.

If all the same people are in or out on all the same days that could work.

I have personally experienced that effective multi-threading is much better when there is more ambiguity. I at least don't think it's a truism that for startups doing one thing at a time and doing it well is obviously superior.

Async teams achieve dynamic results through multi-threading, not being really good at dropping everything else to do one thing at a time really well.

I don't recall middle management being amazing in person - mainly I recall some unnecessary guy who spent all day on Facebook until he got bored, who then starts wandering around bothering people. With 100% remote, those positions just

I've personally never worked harder or had better results since working for all-remote companies.
