There’s an interesting blindness on a forum full of tech workers to the idea of market pricing being divorced from COGS. That’s kind of the whole premise of our industry. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think skiplagging should be a crime or an

Honestly when you put it like that it sounds like a pretty sweet deal. We get a few years of irrationally cheap services for free? I’ll take that. VC-subsidized Ubers were awesome in my mid 20s. It’s too expensive now for everyday use but I

Yeah this is the way I feel about it. I’m not exactly clamoring for it but if someone (Apple) released a super well executed foldable phone with no major downsides I’d happily pay an extra few hundred for it at my next upgrade. Apple is pro

Nah Reddit is pretty much back to normal. The protest is over. There are a few big subreddits like r/interestingasfuck that are still closed, but these are more like meme channels than communities. People can just get the same dozen gi

It used to be that you could get a paper for a quarter out of a machine on the street. That quarter covered printing and delivery. the newspaper had a classified ads section (plus inline ads, plus ad inserts) which actually funded the peopl

Elon gave out a bunch of blue/gold checks for free in a sort of whimsical way so it’s impossible to know if anyone paid for it

Moneyball has a little bit of this. Not sure how I feel about it cohesively but it has some excellent “people talking in conference rooms” scenes

You may be able to use this fact to your advantage if you can get someone to pay attention. Ask them to send a confirmation code to the old email and then produce it

No disrespect to you personally but after reading all your comments in this thread I definitely wouldn’t want you flying a plane that I was on

The problem is that the blue check has become a culture war so all the blue checks are aligned with Elon (either politically or in temperament) so the top replies to popular tweets are dominated by that tribe. The old way (whatever it was)

It used to work as more of a screen mirror (e.g. if the passenger changes apps on the phone the CarPlay screen would change as well) but they updated it a few years ago and now they are totally independent, except there’s only one “version”

Saying Elon “believed” the diver guy was a pedophile is cutting Elon a lot of slack. Perhaps “imagined” or “wanted to believe” or, more charitably, “guessed” would be more appropriate. Most likely what happened is Elon felt insulted and de

Fwiw I work right by the spheres and walk by multiple times a day and things are generally bustling. Restaurants and food trucks have lines at lunch time, buses are crowded, etc. and there’s been a clear trend over the past year. Try grabbi

It’s a good song but I’m struggling to see how it applies to the topic under discussion. Maybe if Amazon was paying their workers in Amazon gift cards I could see it. Or maybe if Amazon owned apartments that they rented out to their employe
