   Here’s an idea: tax the rich and pay off our debt. Don’t tax ppl and spend the money right away. Maybe stop trying to do the same things that have been clearly failing for decades. Throwing money at random problems in hopes it will solve th

   Odd, I know lots of right folks and none support russia, they just don’t support sending more money to Ukraine, either bec they believe the accurate reports of widespread corruption (which Biden himself attested to 6 years ago) or bec they’

   Yup, that’s where I stopped. The fact that most correct is a dark pattern means there’s likely other bad lessons in this exercise and I’d rather just stay away.

   Aside from Dropbox do any of the mentioned providers offer auto save functionality for docs and spreadsheets? For me that’s really the killer feature (that and the fact that I paid $100 for 7 years of service using MS’s employee discount of

   Bending spoon’s website is 100% bloat so that doesn’t bode well for a revitalized Evernote.

    I just got the reference. Bending spoons, doing the impossible, like in the matrix. At least the name makes sense now.

    If you look more closely that’s not the case. If they pay the refunds, they get to subtract a portion of that from the fine. Dan has more detail and isn’t paywalled: https://www.dansdeals.com/more/news/airline-news

    Yup “do better” is the generic siren of those who like to complain but never have anything to contribute.

    Or maybe T-Mobile gave higher commission for apple sales that month.

    Asking about avg isn’t a great idea, you really want the modal, which might be near the avg but may not be. This was an issue that came up when they tried to design the optimal fighter cockpit in WWII, they designed a cockpit that fit no on

    Yup kinda interesting to see this play out. With the federal trade secrets law tho it no longer matters.

    They go over this in the article: below a certain failure threshold, which they don’t appear to have hit, it’s still cost effective to go with the less reliable drive if it’s cheaper.

    What is an engineering manager as it relates to actually writing code? One of the things Elon said was that there appears to be 3 managers for every engineer. I understand the need for a few PMs but if there really was a 3:1 ratio that’s ju

    Do you have any reliable source for this? as it's fairly common in the industry. I know lots of things are common that turn out to be illegal, but this one is ripe to be tested time and again, and the fact that it's still being us
