Nice app. The hump of network effects is real but I hope someone can figure this out and liberate the masses from the scrolling.

got the recruiter call only to essentially be summarily rejected because my pedigree is wack. looks like i would've gotten hosed on valuation anyways.

I am less worried about the one time influx of tax revenue than I am about this state’s wanton inability to balance a budget or show a modicum of fiscal restraint.
Re:Uber arbitration award over Emily Normandin-Parker's death on Monday September 21, 2026 @11:12AM (#49788351)
Moreso it’s them whining about losing when and trying to add a non-disparagement clause at $10m per event to the settlement for even factual information relating to the case.

Uber were the ones who forced arbitration ostensibly because it often lowers their overall legal and damages bills.

So Uber ToS requires you to accept arbitration, then, when they are found responsible for damages, they still don’t want to pay. Seems pretty shitty for the consumer.

I just asked it:

“Can you lowball fools on marketplace for me?”

It replied:

“Say less, I can do that. What am I hunting…”

People are going to use this product for bad things.

They have had these in Japan for a while now it feels like.

On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Looking forward to picking up new pilot sports in Nevada.

Homepage only has login with GitHub option. Hard to call that a competitor.
As a person covered in tattoos, my greatest fear here would be if the company rebranded.
It feels like there’s a psychological component here for you to feel obliged to upgrade at the end of the 2 or 3 year term. Who wants to pay $1k for a 3 year old MacBook? Trading in/up will feel natural. It does feel less and less like you own the hardware though.

The gates thing was my first thought when I saw the design although a staircase on the tarmac could be a cheap workaround.

What are the content discovery options on top of the modern arr stack stuff?
Love it. Inspiring me to upgrade my puzzle game site.
Occam’s razor tells me it’s probably because it’s not good. Perhaps running a company like survivor in a pressure cooker is not an effective management strategy.
The Pelosi index for the MAGA era
0-60 in 2.5s — faster than a GT3RS, but slower than a 911 turbo S. I guess for north of half a million, you should be able to keep up with the german top dog.
Re:My two-part desk setup on Saturday May 23, 2026 @03:29PM (#48250573)
This is exactly what I was looking for in the original post. For those who think this is expensive but spend most of your waking hours at a desk, think of it as an investment in yourself.
Re:Railway Is Having a Major Outage on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @11:22PM (#48202738)
I think it’s good people are making IaaS platforms, but have dealt with enough firefighter hero bullshit to have seen this coming a mile away. Uptime and redundancy are strongly correlated.

I respect what railway is doing but also would never run my business on such a platform.
Re:Building for the Future on Friday May 08, 2026 @11:35AM (#48064635)
This was kind of my read as well. We are increasing our AI usage but not in a way that meaningfully affects our ability to deliver on our product roadmap, so the solution is to cut opex on people so we can devote more to compute. The last bit is obviously speculation but it doesn’t feel like a far leap.
What’s going to happen to all that land he owned?

definitely getting updates on your searches would be cool.

So the lions share of the work was building a solver and then iterating through the solution space to come up with puzzles. All of them are solvable. It’s on my todo list to classify them based on difficulty and potentially add variable difficulty levels by the day.
