   They should issue their own stable coin. There is too much fraud with Tether to support it and another reputable stable coin in the industry will only help things.

   Agreed. They should have just sold ads for the unpaid edition users to tolerate.

   I’m afraid that iOS release quality has always been terrible garbage for me even if I liked Scott Forstalls design aesthetics. I have had an iOS device since iPhone launched. October of 2012 my iPhone backups made locally and in iCloud coul

   If average people cared about security like they do real time video conferencing then Keybase would have not been for sale.

    CA still has large and growing industries that could be great clients. I agree there is zero reason to focus on engineering talent in CA but depending on your company it might make a lot of sense to build with a sales team in CA.

    Completely agree. Tiger was the most pleasing OS I’ve used from a visual perspective. It was also peak skeuomorphic design. I miss Scott Forstall’s influence in every Apple product since he’s been gone.

    Finished high school in 2003. Was told to pickup a graphing calculator in 6th or 7th grade. My family bought me a second hand TI82. I might be the only student to have had one malfunction but the = button stopped responding that first year.

    I remember pre 2008 financial collapse when you could call a banker and they’d open an account for you sight unseen. Now it’s only internet banks that do this. They still require lots of KYC documents to open an account.

    The hosts of popular gaming channel Linus Tech Tips challenged one another to switch to Linux. Maybe Windows 11 is so power user hostile and Steam Deck is the push everyone needed that 2022 will finally be the year of Desktop Linux?

    I see a low probability that anything licensed "post open" will see adoption if there is a royalty owed for it.

    If you aren't generating revenues and want to incorporate to hold the IP then why throw good money away on a state that requires annual fees? As I understand it, you can always transfer the IP to another entity before it has any market
