Five months back, I started building Visioncast. Drawing inspiration from psychology-related books like "Psychocybernetics" and "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself", I've been fascinated by the power of affirmations and positive self-talk. This fascination was the seed for Visioncast, guiding users through personalized audio exercises including affirmations, meditations, motivational...
Agreed. I see these claims all the time. Feels a little bit like, "dId yOu KnOw iNsTaGram lIsTens tO yOuR cOnVeRsAtIoNs?"
It would be pretty easy to prove. Show us before/after screen shots.
The author initially resisted getting AirPods due to a fear of losing them. However, they eventually bought a pair and ended up losing them. Using the "Find My" app, they tracked the AirPods to a house in a nearby town but didn't confront the thief. They then visited a museum where the AirPods were located again, but couldn't definitively identify the thief. The author continued to track the AirPods as they moved to different locations, including a Walmart and an outlet mall, but was unable to recover them. The AirPods are currently in Lost mode, and the thief has not contacted the author. Despite the frustration, the author contemplates going to Mexico to search for the stolen AirPods.
As expected, all of the comments here are very critical of this without proposing something new. What are some alternate proposals to solve these problems?
TechCrunch is likely seeing declining ad revenues, meaning they need to post more trolly/blight/clickbait-y content to compensate to get more page views.
You’re getting downvoted but I fully agree. Most people are talking as if the virus will be gone in a month or so. The lockdowns are not going away. We are going to have new hotspots popping up every week once lockdowns start releasing.

I love that someone followed through and got it done. I bet a lot of people thought about it. I bet that there's even someone seeing this right now pissed off that they didn't finish first.
Great design. Where'd you get your little illustrations?
I would use this if you had a category/filter for plant based recipes.
Good work man. What technology stack did you build this with?
If a better remedy exists someone else can build it. Nobody is forcing us to use Apple products/services.

The overarching tone of the article is "Tesla isn't doing a very good job with its autopilot and could have prevented this". I wonder if there's any data about how many Tesla's get in crashes versus other cars. I'd suspect that given that only 2 people have died in over 1 billion miles driven in autopilot that Tesla's are safer than other cars.

Interesting. I like the simplicity. What do you see as the main use case?
Once there are space hotels, surely they’ll be the default internet provider
What is this hidden truth you're alluding to?
The first few generations probably will be. But it'll be solved.

Wow, that's a brutal work schedule. Hard to believe it's the norm. Isn't there enough demand that tech workers could elect to work elsewhere if their employer enforces this?
That's really cool. I'm looking forward to more sites implementing this. Imagine if every Amazon product had this.
