There is some bullshit that goes on here though. Many companies do not have a contract that you sign and consent to, they just try to back door it as fungible company policy - like the way social media companies get you to agree to new priv

that was the odd thing, I use two ad blockers so was surprised to see such an obvious fake ‘VPN notification’ that I knew it was an ad or malware.

I left immediately when it showed a fake ‘update your VPN’ iOS system notification. Didn’t even get to read the article.

Slow migration that just happened over time. I took an architect role that required technical knowledge but about 0% coding. Initially I was disappointed about that but went with it. Eventually I took a pure business role. Along the way I g

This. I used to spend 8+ hours a day coding (yes really) for work then ‘fun’. I often had a hard time around people in real life. It was like my nerves were on high gear and I was awkward and didn’t know when to engage the speech portion of

Streaming is currently teaching us the same lesson. We now have all these different islands of content by major content owners and producers where we’re paying $5 here and $10 there for content that includes ads. Hulu, Peacock, Discovery+,

This is a really neat idea. I usually apply categories to my calendar invites so I can see quickly if I’m spending too much time (or not enough time) toward any type of activity. But I really like your concept since it’s qualitative and tru

This site is super fun. I knew of bitcoin when it launched and am certain I generated a coin for fun. Didn’t think much of it back then. Occasionally I come across backups and go looking for wallet files with no luck. I also knew of Amazon

Yeah those are the reasons I went with the smart TV kept offline. It’s a bummer that TVs now come with terms and conditions designed to monetize you and even though you own the thing you can’t control it.

I recently bought a new TV and did a little searching for dumb TVs before buying. It’s really hard to find a dumb TV. I learned that you can in fact buy a commercial TV that is dumb which seems like a good option. I ended up going with a sm

The example of their Blockchain town seems either silly or over my head. I’m willing to admit it could be the latter but I don’t see it.

I think a big part of this is that old tech companies like IBM, Oracle and probably every big management consulting trying to hype the technology up. You see consultants recommend taking on big challenges, sort of like snake oil applying it

How would you do it differently? Would you adjust for inflation or look for a different indicator like a rate of return over time or compare to an index fund over the same time?

I’d guess most of people that need this treatment are very happy to overlook the name or even reality of what it is. If it leads to better health than they’re able to sustain right now, then yeah by all means.

Thanks and congrats on your launch. Another set of questions I had when looking at the website and your response 1. Are you targeting commercial insurance or personal lines? 2. Looking at US or international markets? 3. How are you reaching

Can you elaborate a bit? Your website seems to make it more confusing for me. There are a lot of buzzwords like AI, No Code and Embedded Insurance but I’m having a hard time understanding from the site and your description above what the pl

I agree with your sentiment. I encounter a majority of people in my workplace that say they really miss the chance encounters with people they don’t get to work with frequently - those chance encounter they say sparks something interesting.

The stakes are so high for Amazon to tell the truth here. If they were lying then there would be outrage among users, media, competition, etc. I’ve dealt with many people from Amazon in my professional life and based on their handling of cu

Are any of these TVs jail-breakable? I’m actually OK with smart tech, I just don’t like it being used against me.
