That’s not at all what they said. And the history of aerospace is littered with companies that made lofty claims, raised a bunch of money, and eventually went under. When Boom launched eight years ago, they were telling investors they were

Agreed, this looks like fake news. Good reminder to me to not take headlines at face value.

If you mean taxis, yes, we call them cabs in NYC. If you mean Uber/Lyft, no, we do not call them cabs in NYC.

They were “widely considered” to be better, but again, almost never with any specifics. Just knee jerk hate. And I don’t have any of those issues with the official client, other than the ad one. The performance is great, it’s very reliable,

The idea that Google engineered the murder of the wife of a whistleblower (who had already testified) by staging a fake traffic accident in the rain is ridiculous and nonsensical.

Yes, I used a bunch of them over the years. And yeah, they were fine, but that doesn’t answer my question about what exactly is wrong with the official Reddit client to garner so much hate.

I always hear these complaints about the Reddit app and I honestly don’t know what people are talking about. Sure, there’s a few UX things that could be improved, like almost every app. But I’m a heavy user with multiple accounts and I rare

That’s some ridiculous tinfoil hat conspiracy theory nonsense.

It’s a huge jump from “Walmart hires off-duty cops for security” to Walmart having “the cartels” murder whistleblowers. And neither of your links have anything to do with major corporations.

Maybe it’s your circle. Things are particularly bad for entry level devs right now, but I know a lot of people outside of tech, and the vast majority are employed and doing OK.

If you have a record of a light-bulb being replaced in 1982 in your 40-year-old Cessna, you have a record of time travel :)

I just tried the .ics trick, but with a photo of my kid’s school schedule. Thanks!

I’m really curious how you managed that. I pasted your exact prompt and GPT-3.5 gave me this: === Making 20-year predictions about the future of Michael Jackson is challenging due to his passing in 2009. However, his legacy as a cultural ic

I thought NYC didn’t recognize the S-corp, so you end up paying the corporate tax rate. Has that changed?

Is there a market in OKC for this much space at the psf you’d need to support developing it? Or is this some local billionaire’s vanity project?

They're not, they'll ship them directly to you.

We're all going to end up working for dev agencies that build stuff for IP holding companies in Panama, which then license the use of that software back to their parent American tech companies.

If this persists, it seems like it’d make sense for many software companies to shift the development and ownership of their software outside of the US, and then pay licensing fees to those overseas subsidiaries for the use of the software

Yes, I'm aware of the point of price discrimination, I was responding to "they have a "regular" price that almost no one is expected to pay"

Aren’t there others in that list above the 3090 that are even more expensive?

Yeah, but I agree with the parent; I think something has changed recently with Siri. The other day I asked it some questions as a joke that I knew would just say "here's what I found on the web", but it answered them. It made

Exactly. In a decade or two, this fleet will be two helicopters instead of 17, because most of the use cases will be covered by drones.

I’ve been watching this story for a year+, and I fully agree with the outrage, but I haven’t heard of any startups that went under because of this. I wonder if everyone is just blowing it off or classifying those expenses as something other
