Yeah, that was my exact reaction here. "Doubling my taxes?!" Oh... for a CA based single payer healthcare system that for the last 10-20 years people have continually asked for again and again? (Ok, maybe not just for CA, but...

I really appreciate your comment! I just watched Don't Look Up, then Idiocracy, then Death to 2021, and ... I get why people think they're clever and create hopelessness just like you pointed out. They get the instinctive thumbs

I just want to validate that I thought Krazam was based on total fiction. I'm stunned to see a 2k person livestream about this today in the best way!

I posted the same snarky comment too. Seems the headline should be “You can’t download this exact image, but you can copy the presentation image via other means.” More of a play on words for how copy and download often times mean the same t

On iOS, long press > add to photos I now have a photo of the Mona Lisa in my camera roll. I guess this is one of those things that wouldn’t be as edgy with the actual mechanism stated. :)

Anecdotally, I attribute most of my success in life to my 7th grade teacher's decision that since I was far beyond the rest of the class in math and followed direction well, she put me outside the classroom with a self-directed algebra

Imagine having a surround sound system. Now put on your headphones and you still have that surround sound system. That's why it's useful / wanted. Video gamers use spatial audio to know where that person shooting at them is.

Completely apparent, and I appreciate that you saw the same thing and that you've coined the word marketroids for me. Makes me worry when those in charge appear to have impulse control problems. Why not listen? Or use discretion? It

I don't understand.. where did the context for an etch-a-sketch getting mailed come from? Why does every day of travel decrease the chances of it getting to its destination? I have to know.. :) *EDIT: ahhh, non-linear commenting! I we

Dang, Webex is still that bad for you? Is it because you're using company's instances where it's more locked down and they're on older code? I know it's not perfect, but it's pretty reliable for me (and full d

Completely agree. Dunkey uses the tried and true method of SaaS selling in this video too. Start with the pain, then move to the solution that you definitely didn't start your pitch with.

I saw the title of this, and as a dunkey subscriber, I was hoping this was the first time that I'd seen dunkey on HN. What a wild cross-over day!

I'm finding that the best way for me to document is to realize that I'm going to go slower at everything but I'm going to document along the way. I'm in Events, and typically in an event it's been low payoff to try

Ha, sorry you're gonna get escorted off, but I love drinking tomato juice on flights. They have it because they often times serve bloody Mary's. The extra salt can be nice on a long flight. I love the imagery you laid out, it&#x

Right, they choose not to invest more time and thought into something else. That's why the pattern of the social media bait and switch is frustrating. The company made a promise. People bought that promise. Company changes the promis

Hahah, Managing Humans is great. I saw someone reading it on Muni, read it over their shoulder for a few stops, and bought it later that day.
