Some unsolicited life advice: don’t feel bad about getting rid of stuff that you don’t like (or in the words of Marie Kondo, doesn’t “spark joy”). If you had sold that phone to someone else it wouldn’t be wasted.…
I agree, title should have been done a lot better than that. I think we can read between the lines of the PR speak, though. That’s the rosiest possible way to put this news. No new devices, support during warranty…
Fair. I’ll toss in some better evidence then: the Paramount lawsuit settlement that paves the way for the merger, which includes future payments for things like pro-Trump advertisements/PSAs:…
This just makes me realize that three letter agencies of basically every country probably have an extremely easy time getting access to things by simply getting people hired as regular employees through mundane and…
Nah that’s just a typical Tuesday at GitHub, 9’s are hard to come by these days.
I would say “don’t like who is in the White House” is really underselling the situation. The high level of financial corruption of the current administration is very well documented. Let’s not forget that the president…
It was still non-zero amount of evidence and that’s exactly what was being asked for.
It’s not about the underlying technology, it’s about all the stuff that comes with it. If you’re pushed to use Edge your default search engine is now Bing, which means ad revenue for Microsoft, and things like idle news…
This is what a normal company might say. xAI is not a company, it’s a financial instrument. The growth potential as perceived by investors is there to prop up SpaceX stock.
The way I think about these is that, yeah, it's unfortunate that these are not the best products on the market as a product category, and they cost more than they really should. Of course, another way to think about it…
Larger companies also have some other traits that lend themselves to prefer SaaS: They usually need much more than an AI MVP product. They’ll tend to have a lot more different scenarios covered by one product category.…
I think a good analogy for this difference would be this: Walmart sells both fresh/frozen/packaged food (lots of food safety regulations) and t-shirts (few regulations by comparison). They also sell things like cell…
I see your point and I think it's a reasonable one. I know this may seem like moving goalposts, but I forgot to mention another point here, which is that I'm perfectly happy with allowing my customers to reach me by…
The solution I figured out is to use a forwarding service (e.g., Anytime Mailbox) and then you fill out a form with USPS that basically declares that the business is the using that address as a proxy. Technically the…
I've never experienced them breaking that quickly, but it's worth pointing out that the cheap models are far inferior. The motors are weaker and they even come with a worse charger that doesn't come with a normal wall…
How far down does this go? Should I be able to contact the individual person who picked the specific strawberries in my carton of strawberries? In the Walmart t-shirt example, should I have the contact info for not only…
Mistakes without a significant lesson or takeaway aren’t a useful avenue for growth. I think it’s possible that this concept that AI is an easy shortcut is a form of gatekeeping. We had the same reactions to…
Why isn’t Apple the business with the contact info? They’re taking 15-30% cut and fully control their software APIs. Unless I’m mistaken, Steam and GOG games aren’t listing the address of the game developers in the EU,…
I’m not sure what you mean. My app is published. I actually jumped through the hoops because I wanted to learn how to jump through those hoops.
Correct! In my other comment within the greater thread I detail how conceptually the App Store should be shouldering more of the burden considering they sell in a retail-like arrangement.
Yes, you’re right that much of this only comes up when you’re trying to charge money for an app. However, if you’re running your own website you can make those decisions on your own without being forced into most of…
I agree with your overall sentiment, although maybe the article and this sentiment more generally are going a little bit overboard with the skepticism/negativity. It is a little alarming the way people treat AI as…
I recently decided to publish an app on the App Store just so I could say I accomplished that, and maybe even make a little bit of beer money on the side. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that my actual app is pretty…
What’s so mind blowing about it is that this would make a ton of sense if it was a big superpower like China or even a greatly declined one like Russia. But, no, it’s “some random country” with a population smaller than…
The American style of suburbia is really the problem. Suburbs in other countries are often built so that existing outside of a car isn’t loud, unpleasant, and dangerous. The suburb as a concept isn’t flawed at all. It’s…
