Oh? I though I had to buy a $99 developer account,and connect the device with my account to be able to build it and install it. I guess I missed something important in the docs.

What really galls me is hoops i have to jump through and the money I have to spend to install my own apps written for my own use on an iOS device. How can that be for my own security? The ability to write a program for a computing device i

From the long lines at all of the Subway restaurants around Toulouse where I lived, and the fact that my friends in Lyon ate at Subway regularly and took me there often when I visited.

I tried to get a 3rd Pfizer shot yesterday, but neither CVS or my doctor would give it to me because I am not 65 or immunocompromised. I have some work travel coming up, and I thought that would be enough reason. I could have easily lied an

I enjoy Louis Rossmann and all, and I've learned a lot about computers from his videos. But this video is purely one lay person's opinion. I'd go as far to say "speculation."

I have to agree with you. For the domain of writing mobile applications with async communication with various services, Dart (in combination with Flutter) seems to allow my to crank more production quality code faster. More specifically: 1

First half of 20/20 was really hard on a lot of people: the pandemic, civil unrest, political instability. It was a difficult time for sure. Then there is the whole shock of kids at home from school, spouses at home, potentially lost

Right. I think the concerns actually played out exactly as feared. Hospitals filled up with people sick with Covid, health care system got overwhelmed, everyone is at heightened risk due to the difficulty in getting treated for anything. Th

Remember that global warming is not real. If it is real, then we don't know what is causing it. If we do know what is causing, it is not humans. If we do know it is humans causing it, then there is nothing we can do about it.

I'm also surprised that this is the thing that gets people up in arms about iPhones. I mean, you can't even write legitimate application for yourself and run it on your own phone without insane hoops to jump through. Not to ment

I work on a Platform team, but I'm wondering whether we should rename it. We do provide CI/CD to the rest of the company, and we provide an internal development platform. Our biggest focus, though, is providing the platform upon w

For me, often the unaccounted for work is after shipping. Sure, we can ship the new minor feature, but then we have to make sure it is documented, it is one more thing for users to ask about, one more thing for sales to ask about (and ask u

Interesting. I have a Master's in Cognitive Psychology (from long ago, the 1990s), but it was in the domain Human Factors, so I view "cognitive psychology" in a very different light than these example. See some common example

My wife pointed out that the shipping is not, in fact, free, because we pay $100 (or whatever it is now) for Prime.

We're finally going to not renew our Amazon Prime after many years. We don't have that much need for "free" shipping on cheap Chinese products, and the convenience of the Amazon marketplace is now counter-balanced by the

That sucks, I'm sorry. It sounds like what you really need is a network. You get interviews from ex-colleagues and friends when you don't have a reputation that speaks for itself.

What if paying for all of those things resulted in overall lower health care costs for you? If, theoretically, we all pulled our resources and collectively provided healthcare for everyone and, as a result, your overall health care costs we

I have worked for two, and the differences between them are so stark at every level that I wouldn't venture to think that there is a lot of commonality between YC companies in general.

right, but I'm talking full on paid, like Neeva. Such services can offer personalization because they can support themselves without selling your data. If you trust them to keep their word, they can use your usage history and data only

I thought the implication of the article, though, based on their research, was that this plant did not use all of the extra CO2 to grow, but used some of it to produce more growth inhibitor which then cause crops to not grow. i.e. the exper

I don't think I understand the point you are making about climate change deniers and conspiracy theorists. It seems to me that the article is consistent with the two points you made. The implication of the article is that the extra CO2

I'll be curious to see how these companies with these super expensive to build and maintain campuses are going to react. If nothing else, it seems like the sunk cost of having a multi-acre campus will force some companies to stick with
