No, I donate a lot of money on top of the time I volunteer for free. Someone has to spend maybe an hour every few months to deposit a single check for $50. You got me on the rejection part because there are some benefits the members get (be

I think this writer focuses on the buyer side but on the merchant side, there are similar tradeoffs. People (employees, robbers etc) steal cash and it adds work to close out registers at the end of your day. Having no cash in your store sol

I personally would not like chrome, or some of these other things to exist on its own. Google operates some of these things mostly like a charity. Obviously there are serious incentives to have control but imagine what Chrome would be doi

Sounds nice but many companies cannot exist in tiny pieces, Google included. So if you force that it will cease to exist. Which I believe to be a net negative to the US, and world, some may disagree though Disclosure: Google employee, words

Are you sure that you were in the right and there were two left turn lanes? There is an intersection by me that everyone uses wrong and you get folks using it as a double turn lane when the lanes have text that say the name of the road you

Just curious where the enrichment fact you are claiming comes from. I see the NPT outlined 3% max while watchdogs detected over 80%. I didn’t think there were debates about them breaking the NPT https://commonslibrary.parliament.

More talent with less demand means lower wages and/or worse benefits. My situation at Google can’t be matched at Amazon or Meta (remote work, pay, WLB, other benefits). I’d have to compromise if the climate changes but not much will ma

As others have pointed out, YC is definitely trying to get some of that Google money. Another important aspect that benefits YC is a turn of events that would improve the talent pool. Google retains tens of thousands of software engineers,

What is the alternative though? I think it’s fair to question a decision but if people put their foot down when they don’t see the answer as good or clear enough then you end up with the status quo. This is the same thing that happened with

One example doesn't prove that statement false. I said usually. But also I'm not sure that's a great example anyway because I'm sure most people would want to find Microsoft apps on the app store regardless of what you t

I don't know if it's just optics. As a user, I personally don't want to see or download apps that are broken, neglected, or completely left for dead. Maintained apps are usually the best ones right?

You do realize, a terrible company will buy chrome and we will be forced to wait until something better arrives (yahoo is interested at the moment). It’s going to get much worse before it gets better.

Does anyone know the timing of when the breakup actually occurred? I’m curious because I was on a flight to Puerto Rico from Florida at 3pm ET they diverted our flight. They didn’t really give us many details but said the “landing strips we

You either discovered a massive unreported cause of harm to our society or you are fitting a narrative you have in your mind. The anger against cyclists is so weird to me. Like I can relate to seeing a cyclist taking up a whole lane on high

I kinda agree with what you are saying on damage. It just doesn’t happen so it’s not really a problem anyone cares about. Cyclists don’t regularly cause $10000s in damage. If they hurt themselves, you use your own health insurance. On the o

I think insurance and licensing is about the risks and the government stepping in to make things more safe for society. Bikes just don’t carry very much risk to others. Of course, it’s possible a bike can crash into a pedestrian and critica

I’d just aim for a full time gig and then back away to part time. I work with someone at Google who has a formal arrangement to work part time (Tuesday-Thursday). I’m not sure their story so you may or may not scare away the recruiter if yo

To be fair, the entirety of SF across is around 8 miles and even if you are taking a private car, it probably takes the better part of an hour to do that voyage. 51 minutes does seem too long but not an extreme

Personally, I think it’s because it only takes a small part of the internet to be outraged before it appears to be outrage. The twitter/x machine gets rolling with jokes and those get shared with a network effect. 100% of a room of 30

I’d argue that if writing is an algorithm that has been cracked, is it important to learn anymore? I have to imagine when the calculator became popular it was a similar debate. I do wonder how we should measure student understanding next

Big partnership for OpenAI. Incredible Apple decided to integrate with a third party like this directly into the OS. This feels like something Apple could have executed well by themselves. I was hoping they weren't going to outsource b
