One note about the twitter choice to put their HQ at mid-market. The city wanted it, they incentivized businesses moving to the mid-market area with tax breaks.

As a counter point, Lyft was first to create ride sharing. Internationally, Uber has driven the changes.

I am pretty surprised to see comments like this on HN. Advocating theft and robbery is not ok.

That sounds like a different issue. SF limited the number of scooters each company, Skip/Scoot, could deploy. When Bird and Lime launched in the city they had no limits, so they flooded it with scooters.

In San Francisco, I wouldn’t trust leaving my bike at a bike rack. That’s why the bike/scooter shares are so useful. Otherwise I would ride my personal bike everywhere.

Skip in SF is sort of doing that. The app makes you take a picture of the scooter in its parking spot when you leave it.

Out of curiosity, what is your issue with skip/scoot? All the services seems to be similar to me?

Peloton started with a connected spinning bike. It takes advantage of the Soul Cycle fad ($30/class) and sells people a $2000 bike and a $40/month subscription (for live streams of classes) with the idea that they will save money

It's not necessarily a fair comparison given the power of the Nokia brand in the mobile phone industry. Would Essential have gotten as much press as it did if it had gone to the low end? I doubt it.

I worry that this will make people have an AI make phone calls for them regularly when they wouldn't have in the past. At some point, the restaurants will need to have their own AI to respond to the call volume. You end up with 2 AIs a

I don't think a password changing protocol would help make passwords disposable. Making people change passwords often will result in people reusing more passwords.

I think people will interact differently with an eink screen compared to a standard display.

I would be curious to see a user study on how people without training try to interact with eink screens. re: swipes vs taps.

Sure... Though the goal of an industrial/UX/UI Designer should be to make the core function, reading books, as easy as possible. If it isn't good at that, no one will buy books for it.

There is space on the bezels, that could be used without taking up space on the display.

The goal of the interface should be to be intuitive. You shouldn't have to learn an awkward sequence. If there was a page forward and backward button on each side, I don't think people would have anything to learn

Where is the evidence that they were cheating the system. Ireland created tax laws, to incentivize companies to come. The European commission comes in and decides that Ireland needs to revert laws that have been on the books for years and c

He and Apple was following the law. If Europe was so angry about Ireland's tax laws they should have stopped it from taking effect in the beginning.

That is true, though there are still a large number of workers who have really been injured while working there. That is a fact.

I feel like people are missing what I think the core reason for this feature, to limit what is available to opposing attorneys during discovery.

I think most people getting into electronics won't be doing analog designs. They'll probably be messing around with various sensor devkits (sparkfun, adafruit, etc.) and Arduinos/RaspberryPis/ESP8266. With these you&#x27

I would add a logic analyzer before oscilloscope. You can get good ones for pretty cheap now. https://www.saleae.com/ It is so nice to be able to see what is actually going on when debugging interfaces.

The problem is that we are continually in crisis. This is happening multiple times a week. We really need to have a serious discussion and action around the future of guns in our country.
