You're billed by the hour / mile, you can choose an economy vehicle type, but the Toyota driver kept getting lost, swapping out vehicles, changing the price, when you finally reach your destination, you need another top up.

Yuck

Their open source code is permissive of commercial forks.

Like, if their goal was to block third-party clients, then they would look more like Facebook or Reddit

I’m on my phone, so it’s a little bit difficult for me to find clear examples, but I think this post talks about some of those freedom of speech violations.

I might be completely wrong, but it seems like news articles are not repeating the messages that caused the arrest. They just seem to be reporting that the arrest happened and high-level description of the content.

Pokemon company did a terrible job designing and evolving the game itself..

Last I looked into it, Ruby added niche/wonky syntax that is useful for like specific library situations

Framework and language upgrades are super annoying in ruby and rails. LLMs obviously make it easier, but a rails project can’t be “done” or you risk being so far back in versions that it becomes impossible to leap forward to the latest when you wanna fix a bug or add a feature.

My presumption is the state does not regularly audit and trim high risk limbs or branches near the property line. Since the fence is owned by the state, they will not sue themselves in civil court for their own negligence.

A friend on the App Store software team wasn't invited to a private iPhone Duo preview, because she wasn't in the hardware division. She felt so disrespected and is considering leaving.

My sister (on the hardware team) shared that its a constantly cycle of non-hardware folks getting shafted and then they complain loud enough until they get 'equal' treatment until the next unfair thing rolls out.

Maybe this is a new requirement and I am grandfathered in?

Also, people that are different than everyone else (but same background as me) seek me out to be friends.

For example, there is a HUGE difference between a Seattle Tech event where I am literally the same as the other 60 people in the room vs Vietnamese Tech event where I am one of 3 people that speak english. Those other 2 English speakers are going to walk over and chat with me.

I can definitely see how someone who doesn't have many positive reference experiences would prefer to just be alone and avoid the lows all together.

Not that you asked, but I'd encourage you to not define yourself as antisocial. You just haven't found your kin yet, and if you keep looking you can find it.

You're not wrong for wanting your money back for services not provided, but also recognize this organization is to promote women in tech. A charge back kicks them while they are down.

No matter how much discernment and discipline about my privacy, I can’t protect myself from someone else’s lack of discipline and discernment about my privacy, especially for mandatory critical systems.

Why put in all this time to protect to my privacy when UpGuard, National public Data, etc will leak my SSN anyways?

In 2019, my SSN was used to purchase 4 iPhones, open 2 credit cards, and used to buy perfume in another state.

In 2026, almost mainstream messaging app monitors your private messages (yes, even Whatsapp now [0]).

Society decided that to be in it, you must give up your privacy along time ago.

19 year old Singaporeans within a year of dating must sit down with their partner's families to put a $200k sgd deposit on a house to join the 7 year waiting list so they can get married by the time they are 27.

2/ Singapore does a decent job at this, but further normalize domestic workers. Domestic workers drastically soften the blow women experience in their careers, especially with kids.

If they can push costs down further (like housing a worker is expensive), this would enable more Singaporean women to have more free time to date, get married, etc.

3/ Male Singaporeans have a mandatory 2 year service, which detracts from their time to date. Potentially offer more benefits to marriage or more time off to date.

But your proposal really f's over people with real trauma and medical conditions that prevent them from having kids. I've met several people that don't want kids due to the trauma they endured as children or men and women that are just infertile.

I've talked with women about this offline and they usually fire back with: "You expect women to lower their standards?"

Women would rather delay pregnancy until they find a suitable partner, than risk being with the wrong guy.

The only thing I _maybe_ can think of is governments could only show profiles in your 'tier' (looks, social economic class, etc), whereas private dating apps found that showing everyone pretty people keeps people coming back.

It allowed people encrypt files and then the only person that can decrypt is the person with the private key, which may or may not be the person the encrypted the file.

Point being: the government has been assessing land value for a long long time
