How long does an order from a judge typically take to "percolate" through the right channels?

Same here. Even right now as a type this I have my 2nd external monitor sitting next to the one I'm staring it, it's just off though. Another commenter mentioned finding a video showing that it could in fact be "hacked"

Honest Q, but do any mass market brands like that advertise on podcasts? It seems like all I hear are the usual suspects: Me Undies, Blue Apron, etc.

I agree with another poster that Spotify employees should stand up on principle in opposition to the internal employees that are now running the asylum. I listen to JRE on Spotify and am not happy about the decision. Actually the first epis

Agreed. I'm not sure what this "culture" talk is. I've been in the bay area for a decade now and have worked at a small YC startup with a modest exit, a big-ish company that got acquired, and a bigger company that's

They're already here. A while back I looked into what it would take to make my own clubhouse app to compete. I found there were already dozens, all with tens of thousands (or more) downloads on the Play store and App store.

> Easy choice. I stay silent. Agreed same here. Unfortunately I think the reality will be that male founders may get even more funding than before, which will then lead to a potentially wider gap. And then the cycle will continue, a misr

I'm not happy with Chesa either. For anyone in the same boat there's a recall campaign here: https://recallchesaboudin.org/ .

Thanks for sharing their post. As the saying goes there's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate. It seems like the line between the two is getting murkier everyday with people labeling things that hurt their feeling
