It’s interesting though… it’s still worth something to thieves, they still can recycle the screen, buttons, case etc. I’ve had my iPhone stolen in recent years too, people can’t resist. Don’t get me wrong, it does feel good to stick it to t

I’m curious what RealPage gets out of all this. Based upon the alleged activities it sounds like price fixing to the layperson but why? Realpage should just be concerned with keeping their saas customers by making a good product. Coordinati

This is interesting because I watch my wife who is a professional actor memorize long plays with truly mind boggling preciseness. Although understanding meaning is probably pretty important, for someone to truly be “word perfect”, meaning i

Google is building on top of and integrated with their cloud offerings. Having first party solutions like this gives big cloud customers an easy way to integrate. For Google it’s just another tool in the chest that gets sold to these big en

Everything is an evolution and everyone wants to be the next form of that evolution, even if it’s not. Marketing is always going to be one step ahead and once we actually do achieve what the last generation is selling, someone new will be s

I’m also curious which part of your auto or home insurance policy may call out space junk as covered or not. Maybe similar to a plane crashing into it.

I think a good interview test would be “design the buttons for a microwave” and see if they think about the fact that it displays time and needs to be changed every six months. These are the types of things a software engineer would be figu

I think they are trying to make the law more reasonable because there were police officers writing tickets for absurd stings. A person would step into the road and everyone would get tickets in the intersection. WA law seems rather convolut

Last year I caught this footage of a driver that hit a cyclist and they were fully visible. The police determined the driver technically wasn’t at fault because they had the right of way but humans drive incredibly unsafe. https:/&#x2

I was thinking this too. He was driving on the freeway in the first clip and obviously in a parking lot on the second so definitely filmed at different points in time which I noticed as feeling faked. The fact that there were multiple offic

As a native Sacramentan and boater, you can definitely get from the Sierra to the bay. Would you take your boat out to get around dams? (Lake Natoma dam, Folsom’s dam, etc). If you wanted and could do that, you positively could do the ride.

No one likes working on lame projects, I feel like canceling projects is a symptom of the engineering driven product culture of a place. Maintenance and flat growth is not something I personally like to work on. These products aren’t cancel

Converted my house to heat pump last year and seen a full year of what the cost savings look like. Saving 50% over gas in the winter, saving 30% in the summer over my old AC. I don’t miss the furnace firing up and the noises it would make w

Based upon the amount of comments here this must be a controversial comment but I can’t imagine how you do this. With one toddler, she can barely make a 1 hour trip let alone 11 hours. I could use an electric vehicle with a 90 mile range fo

I think a household will tend to average on how many adult drivers there are in the home. You don’t want to be stuck at home while someone else is at the gym, store, etc

I’ll add to the crazy anecdotes with something that happened to me a few months ago. I had a brand new AC/heater hvac system installed last year. Encountered this problem, the AC would just turn off. First time, called the AC company a

That's the thing though, with the Agency Y making changes. They would have to go back and ask for more money than before... which I just don't think that's happening (at least that's not what I do). I'm speaking fro

Well I think you hit the nail on the head. They aren’t working on the most important aspect of the puzzle (your last point), not because they aren’t reading HN comments, but because that would have a very negative effect on their bottom lin

Don’t most companies have budgets? Wouldn’t raising prices just cause companies to buy less? I feel like folks don’t just increase spend when prices go up, when it comes to ads. Now if everyone is increasing budgets, prices of goods, ad spe

Yes I do. But also, my wife has a different name, do I have to type out her full name every time? There is no stored learning that I have experienced whatsoever on normal typing. The little contact auto fill that you both are referring to i

iPhone’s auto complete and form fills drive me absolutely mad. It’s honestly just basic stuff that should have just worked a decade ago. I’m not even begging them for LLMs or some fancy ML, just learn basic words I type out all the time. Fo

If I'm going to see an ad, I would way rather see an ad about something I care about vs not. Have you watched the evening news on broadcast TV? That is what untargeted ads look like. I don't have IBS but I know the names of every

I think Alphabet is a horrible name too, but they already were successful when they adopted it. Progressive and Booking are real bad. Tesla, oracle, Amazon etc are pretty unique names, I’m not sure I use those words in my normal vocabulary

In my armchair opinion, this is a bad name. Most of my clients and non technical friends refer to it incorrectly every time. Funniest I’ve heard them say is “strip” I think it’s because it’s too short, simple, and one word. It doesn’t reall
