Re:Ask HN: What is the current driver of tech layoffs?

Rhino is an amazing product that I use every day. The developers are active and responsive on their forums and I’ve had feature requests and bug fixes go from forum posts to shipping in a couple weeks. You can also pick up a telephone and immediately talk to a knowledgable tech support person. It’s amazing and I wish more companies operated like McNeel.
Edit: They also do that thing that everyone says is impossible and sell perpetual licenses. Every 18 months or so they offer paid upgrades to the next version and I always buy it because the price is reasonable and they're jam packed with useful new features.

+1 for Trustworthy, it’s a really fantastic product. The app is well designed, constantly improving and the founders really seem to understand the problem they are solving.

I’m always suprised by the disdain on HN for artists, like really? Paying an artist a living wage is what’s wrong with the world today?

I don’t know how they got my number. AT&T said I should have a verbal passcode one the account AFTER the damage was done. That would have been helpful for them to mention when I set up the account. Or you could buy a prepaid burner and use that.

A hacker stole my IG account. They found my phone number then called AT&T in the dead of night and convinced them to forward my number to a Google Voive account. Then they contacted my web host and used the number to verify it was “me”. From there they had everything they needed.

Look at this gallery of product shots:

That is Apple's industrial design language. They could have made it look like anything and they chose to ape apple, that's lazy.

It also looks to have an innovative lawsuit inducing ID. Seems pretty lazy to just anodized a MacBook Pro black, swap the logo and call it a day.
