Not understanding something isn't a judgement of others. Laptop keyboards are: 1) Too small 2) Have awful ergonomics otherwise Laptop screens: 1) Are too small 2) Are positioned awfully with regards to the laptop There are a lot of oth

I agree to the point that whenever I see someone with a laptop I often wonder, "how much work are you actually getting done on that thing?" I've known people who exclusively work on laptops, no keyboard, sometimes no mouse. H

"chair umbrellas" work really well. They have a clip that attaches to your chair.

Isn't that true of many languages?

pip installing one thing is usually not a problem. You can do the binary thing with Python for sure. Does Lisp really work much better? Part of the issue with Python is versions of the language. So you really shouldn't be installing pa

Yes, wet bulb temp is in the context of humidity. Apparently 95f or 35c is the "limit" for humans - where many people will have health issues if they can't cool off otherwise.

These issues are going to impact livestock around the world - which is a big contributor to global warming. I suppose some issues are self-correcting.

At a certain wet bulb temp humans cannot cool themselves off - they die without access to some other means to get cool (like cold water, air conditioning, etc).

I'd be careful buying into the "whys" here, as I'm not sure they are qualified to come to these conclusions. It seems speculation. However, the data seems to be real...

I have never been laid off (15yrs in the industry) - but it will probably happen at my current company soon, I think.

Yeah that can work for a lot of things!

I guess it depends on the platform.

SaaS always seemed like a way to scam investors, to me. At least with most products...

But somehow they made the search bar weird? Like it deselects often. Or is this just me?

"You can't get better by scaling out" disagrees with you. That's my point - if you scale out, it's more expensive.

by roflyear 3y ago
Necessity is an amazing thing: at a company I worked for, the dev team (which I was a part of) "couldn't make things cheaper" than $14k/m for a small app. We spun them into their own org, and now its "their money&qu

Fair is something that works for both parties - maybe it doesn't exist in this case.

That's only really reasonable if you use a truck only a few times a year, honestly. Otherwise it's not reasonable: renting a car isn't extremely easy, often you need the truck for a few days, etc.. But I agree: many people ow

by roflyear 3y ago
Well, I agree with you, but to be fair this isn't everyone that owns a truck. If you own a truck and use it even 20% of the time for its intended use - it's probably ok. But you'll see that truck in a lot of supermarket parki

Truck people are probably not what you think they are.

The goal of reddit here is to obviously shut down the app, he was saying "just pay me then" - he's obviously annoyed. Stupid thing for him to say for sure, it shut the "negotiation" down.

by roflyear 3y ago
Reddit very obviously wants a LOT more money than is "fair" here - let's be real.
536.
by roflyear 3y ago
So the whole raise-api-cost was in fact intended to just shut these apps down, and isn't to recoup costs, like Reddit is saying? That means Reddit entered in bad faith - at that point you can't fault Apollo for reacting to that ba

Right, I think some people are like this. For example, I had a boss once that would interpret everything I said as a threat (I had a friendship with the owners of the company). It's just, stupid, and insulting.

Christian was extremely awkward during that call - no way this guy was making some underhanded threat. He spoke in a poor way for sure.
539.
by roflyear 3y ago
Why misquote? He said "have Apollo quiet down" not "go quiet" he only said "go quiet" after the Reddit rep said that, in response. At least have your facts straight.
540.
by roflyear 3y ago
That isn't what he claims later in the call. He claims that he'd shut down the app for $10m. How is that unreasonable?
