   I think Elon is just trying to boost revenue. They have a product that isn't being fully monetized, so he's trying to squeeze a little more out of it. Pretty good business move to be honest. I haven't checked the pricing for

   College is a great place to meet women. This professor needs to lighten up. After all, where does he think all of his students come from? To create future students, services like this are necessary.

   I thought GPT wrote what Paul posted! I guess I cannot tell the difference anymore between who's saying what. I actually thought what Paul wrote sounded like a poor imitation of Paul Graham... spooky!

   I find TypeScript very helpful! As a self taught developer I always used to just use JavaScript, but after joining a big company and working with TypeScript I prefer it now. I like how I always know "what's in the box" now wh

   Are they killing off Atom because Microsoft bought GitHub and they already have VSCode?

   I was pretty sure BlockFi was a scam after seeing their ads on YouTube offering 8% interest accounts. How could they possibly offer that much higher of an interest rate than everyone else? Turns out, they could not.

   This happened to me before. I booked a room in Austin at a La Quinta Inn through HotelTonight, and when I showed up the place looked abandoned. Turns out, it had been turned into a homeless shelter, and you couldn't stay there even if

   This happened to me too in Austin! I booked a room at a La Quinta Inn in South Austin that they had turned into a homeless shelter. I was pretty upset and quit using HotelTonight and stopped staying at La Quinta Inn over it. I was able to g

    Today I learned you can turn this feature off. Just disabled 2FA for my Gmail so I don't get locked out if something happens to my phone/phone-number.

    Yeah I don't like that feature either. You can't get into your gmail unless your phone is working. If you don't have access to your phone # you are kind of screwed. EDIT: It looks like you can turn off 2FA, I think I'm g

    joshma, should I use Airplane instead of creating cronjobs? I first heard about airplane the other day when I was googling alternatives to cron, or cron GUIs.

    I might use something like that. My email and password manager are both really important to my identity online. Maybe you could do email and password management?

    Cryptocurrencies have become stocks without companies behind the ticker symbols. People took the stock market, tossed out the businesses, and just kept the casino part of the game. I know this is sad to say, but most people are dumb, lazy,

    I don't think that would make a lot of sense financially or professionally, but if he wanted to do this for fun (and money) then I think he probably could.

    Excellent take! What happened? What Microsoft did with Internet Explorer is nothing compared to what Apple does now. This whole App Store thing needs to go away.

    I don't think this is true. I did a job search for "Flutter" vs "React Native" on Indeed and there are 10x as many jobs for React Native. Nothing against Flutter, but I don't think it's the biggest or the

    At the dropzone the pilots usually wear emergency bailout parachutes. But yeah you're right, a skydiving rig would be really uncomfortable to wear flying. It looks like he was planning to jump before he ever took off to me. I've n

    Great point! My grandfather's B-17 caught on fire back in the 1940's flying over California and the crew all had to bail out. They definitely did NOT hike back to the crash site.

    As a skydiver, I think I noticed some stuff from the video that looks pretty fishy. Why is he flying with a skydiving rig on? Normally pilots where emergency parachutes with only one parachute which are made to be worn comfortably while fly

    Over the air television and radio broadcasting is an obsolete technology. Not a smart move for this industry to ignore the internet. Locast was doing these networks a favor.
