Shout out for the Tony Hsieh mention, RIP

They did include this track on the 25th anniversary edition of the soundtrack titled "One Combination"

Jane came to my high school and I forged a pass to sneak in to her talk. I am not sure why every class didn't get the opportunity to see her, but I am glad I did. RIP

Because it has an SOS feature.

Lifetime fixed rate is more common especially after 2008 when floating rates contributed to crushing the US housing market. Even before 2008 fixed was more common. The fixed rate is why those in the US who have a ~3% rate from a few years ago are “stuck” as it is difficult to justify giving it up.

"When Ballmer became CEO in January 2000, Microsoft's stock was around $53. When he stepped down in February 2014, it was around $38."

By that metric, no he wasn't underrated.

Have you been a founder?

Serious question. Does this open up EU iPhone customers to CrowdStrike-like security issues related to their phones if they use these new App Stores? Or at least reduce security and privacy of their devices by downloading less vetted apps? I am not pro either way yet I am just curious what the community thinks.

Landlords can access their property with 24 hour notice everywhere I has lived in the US.

Guns overheat when a large volume of ammunition is discharged in a short amount of time. *edit for grammar

There hasn’t been another mass shooting on the strip in the following 7 years and this policy makes the scale much harder to replicate. I don’t know if this policy is responsible or what else is being done but to dismiss it as security theater seems too easy. If it is a deterrent, it is working and if it limits the scale of a future attack as mentioned I understand the policy.

Love my Tello esim, like $5/mo for a line that receives real text messages.

He had 10 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. Killed 60+ and wounded 400+. Yes this would be a fraction but still possible to cause a lot of harm in 24hr.

Check into a hotel room in Idaho and this won't happen. Check in to one of the hotels in the city who makes its money on tourism where the worst shooting in the US occurred and here we are. We are talking about 5 Miles of Las Vegas Blvd.

The Las Vegas Strip and its hotel casinos are famously one of the most surveillance-heavy areas in the world due to the casinos ostensibly looking for casino cheaters but it goes way beyond that now in the name of "safety"

I believe that is why the policy we are discussing changed.

Maids have access to your room if you stay at a hotel, along with most staff members. Many brands you are familiar with follow the Vegas model of 24 hours no access, someone is gonna see the room.

I feel I have privacy in my home here in the Las Vegas suburbs. Surveillance stops at the strip for the most part. But the strip is not “home” for anyone I know and I would never call a hotel * stay at anywhere home. Strangers have access to your room at all times, that is why they provide safes.

“ Authorities have said he brought 23 weapons in 10 suitcases into the room and set up cameras inside and out to watch for police closing in on him.”

If they are looking through everyone’s rooms I would hope they find this now as he took days to get all of the guns and ammo up to his suite. I am not law enforcement and can’t say for sure though. The US has done a lot worse in the name of terrorism (I believe this was a terrorist act).

Vegas local here, after Oct 2017 no Vegas hotel room on the strip is going 24 hours without hotel staff seeing the inside of a room - every hotel has this policy. I don’t know why people expect privacy in Vegas, there are more cameras and technology watching you here than anywhere else in the US.

I haven’t seen the “reverse image search” issue mentioned. It is pretty common knowledge now that you can take photos from AirBNB listings and many times find a direct booking with the company that is listing. Not always, but this has saved me thousands across two trips so far this year. *weeklong stays in Maui, San Diego

Have I been replaced? AI coming for my job and now my name!

My startup (LaunchKey, now part of TransUnion) encrypted the data in our push authentication requests as late as a decade ago. This was painful until they expanded the size of the message allowing for more encrypted data. It is possible to do so (I would use pub/priv ec keys now) but remember you are limited in the amount of data you can include so you might need a “pull” to deliver all of the content necessary.

Anker cables work for my CarPlay head unit. Others I had troubles with.

The inside of The Sphere is so much more impressive than the outside. The resolution/crispness of the “screen” isn’t talked about but it is a unique experience, unlike any venue or film I have ever been to. I went to U2 a few weeks ago and want to go again. The IMAX comparison is not even close, they are calling it 18k and if you can imagine an IMAX screen wrapping all the way over your head you are on the way. I have heard the U2 show is more impressive than the film, but I haven’t seen the film yet.

I haven’t seen anyone mention car rentals in this thread. It is a huge bonus to have an interface, maps, music, etc you know and trust. When renting a car in the last 5 years it is basically standard to have access to CarPlay, and it is the same system many of us use in our own cars. Will rental companies buy vehicles without it, and support this move too?
