I've worked at two companies that are heavy on former Amazon leaders. As leaders do (and should!) they are often sharing stories of how they approached similar problems in their past roles. What I find to be interesting is how differen

A lot of the criticism I'm seeing isn't balanced against the fact that a huge number of people die every day (in developed nations including mine) because of their inability to pay has hindered their access to medications and proc

This is probably an unpopular opinion and I don't know if it applies in this case, but I'm pretty convinced that a lot of instances like this are social contagions running wild. Every few years in the city I live in there's a

Add me to the list. There are enough great choices with more becoming available each month that there’s no reason to paint his fence. The minute I can take possession of an R2 and sell my model Y I’m done with Tesla forever. It’s also a rea

Anyone who takes a drug every day has had this thought and quickly moved past this narrow point of view. We all want to live long, healthy lives, and whether we like to admit it or not, the human body isn't built to match our modern ex

Something else not mentioned here - there’s a strong incentive for both guests and hosts to use Airbnb as a way to find each other but not to book. I’m a host and I regularly get direct reach-outs from people who have found my listing on Ai

Most of the complaints you hear about Airbnb come off as off-the-shelf repeats of things people have read on social media. If you read reviews and pay attention to the listing there's little risk of having a bad experience or being sur

For what it's worth I see a similar trend in the US. I'm in a few neighborhood/city Facebook groups in different places and over the past year or so there does seem to be a new, reasonable consensus of opinion against divisiv

Agree, I don't think product-market fit is the problem here. A lot of the takes here assume they need to attract top talent and they don't. There's a very long tail of popular-ish, C and D list celebrities who can command $50

Could also have to do with increased rates of diagnosis stemming from better access to care through… D2C telehealth providers?

This was my immediate question. I'm also curious what in terms of services these vendors actually layer on top of any other phone system. There's clearly a payment processing layer where inmates can store credit to make calls, but

The Reserve stores are absolutely fantastic (and twice the price.) The Seattle location was the first one I had ever been to. Sadly it seemed to me like they stopped growing the concept... the one in Palm Springs is really just an ordinary

I don't have a problem with profit motive at all, but I think it's completely valid to point out situations where it's taken to an extreme that destroys the brand or puts it in a vulnerable position, which is arguably being d

I think there’s some truth to the notion that they’ve done this in markets and stores where they are more likely to have a problem with homelessness and non-paying customers. I’ve seen first hand how much time and energy some Starbucks empl

This is an aside, but my how far has Starbucks fallen at the hands of profit optimization. A Starbucks used to be a great place to spend time. Today the interior of almost every Starbucks is cold, beat up, and (intentionally?) uncomfortable

I agree with you with one exception, Dolores Claiborne is a gem of a film.

In the US at least, the practice of owning and renting a home isn't something that Airbnb invented - it's something people have been doing for many many decades. And while it might have been a reasonable critique that Airbnb skirt

This resonates deeply with me right now because I’m very acutely aware of how different my communication style is and when/where it’s holding me back (socially and in my career.) I have a lot of frustration that other people seem to ha

I believe it’s expensive but I’m fortunate that right now it is fully covered by my insurance.

My doctor’s office handled the insurance approvals once I told them I was interested in switching me off oral PreP. I go to a pretty large practice that specializes in working with LGBTQ folks and one of the big advantages is they tend to b

I think the GLP-1s are subcutaneous injections - tiny, tiny needles you can stick in a variety of locations - Apertude is intramuscular, it’s a much larger needle, I’m guessing there’s some level of skill involved.

We’ve been on the road to this for a while, and it’s so exciting to see. I switched to injectable prep a few months ago to avoid having to take a daily pill - it’s an injection once every two months, and my doctor told me that the guidance

I’ve noticed a similar phenomenon in the comments section on TikTok, and it gives me a tiny morsel of hope. It’s increasingly common to see people pointing out commenters that are likely either bots or users that are simply rage baiting. Ye

I'll offer a counterpoint - I live in a nice building in a bit of a rougher part of a major city. I've learned that the police do show up thankfully, but it takes a very long time unless there's literally a life on the line.

Started using this about a month ago out of frustration with the consistently poor experience I was having with another mail order pharmacy. When you take a medication daily you want it to take as little mental bandwidth as possible. Having

It's perfectly reasonable for me to make a determination and offer my first hand experience about Autopilot's capabilities relative to that of my own and that of other drivers I see on the road. Accidents might be long-tail phenom

I don't have any experience with Waymo taxis yet, but I have no doubt that a 10 person team could reliably handle 100+ Teslas today.

I find it funny to think back to the fervor of comments on HN a year ago about Tesla doubling down on vision only and how this would prove to be dangerous and ineffective. A year has gone by and not only have we not seen the catastrophe tha

The inherent mistake here is that there are a lot of large but loosely affiliated groups represented by the crushed objects that are inevitably going to contain people looking to be offended by something.
