   Proof that SELECT with GROUP BY doesn't work if your tags aren't correct. Joking aside, it doesn't surprise me that this isn't being picked up — aren't most of these AI teams more R&D than actual public-facing?

   Don't get ahead of yourself: it's SELECT with GROUP BY.

   IANAL but the idea of trademarks is to avoid consumer confusion. I don't think there's much consumer confusion between the name of a SoC and a startup offering to manage your calendar. They're in completely different industri

   Crystal has Lucky and Amber — both are reasonable for small fun projects. They're still missing what makes Rails Rails, though. Rails is much more than MVC. It's the Ruby ecosystem and the tooling that really allow Rails to become

   If there's interest in this kind of stuff, I'm working on open-sourcing the core of a SaaS side project[0] I have. It's visual voicemail on steroids (cliché, sorry) and, like the linked article describes, accepts your forward

    You can port to Twilio, but, yeah. Like you mentioned, you can use call forwarding — there's even things like conditional call forwarding if you just want to forward your missed calls or things that go to voicemail. I did exactly this

    This brings back so many good memories. I remember when AIM was a hyper-popular thing with my generation (Millennial) in the early 2000s. The communities around buddy icons all passed around a pirated copy of Jasc Animation Shop to create b

    Great question. But, at a company in the past that I worked at, they just took a gamble and hoped they wouldn't have to pay it out. Morals aside, simpler times.

    Makes me wonder if they will start to offer "trip protection" or the like. The economics of it checks out.

    If you pay for services or goods you should expect to be rendered those services or gifts in a reasonable time and manner. There are consumer protection laws that state exactly this.

    This is why when I do book with AirBnB I make sure that I'm booking with a superhost. It shouldn't have to be that way, but it is, and I'm happy to put a dollar amount on my sanity. There are stories of "bad superhosts&q

    If you know something now, use it. If you don't, Rails or Laravel are both good options. I'm partial to Ruby, its syntax, its expressiveness; the ecosystem cannot be beat, and the tooling is stable and mature. There's nothing
