Re:Block spent $68M on a company offsite in September 2025 on Friday February 27, 2026 @02:25PM (#47184465)
I don't know what event planning costs but running an event for ~10k people that includes flights, hotels, food, event space, etc. is expensive I guess.

Describing it as a “party” feels misleading. It was a company-wide offsite for an essentially fully remote organization.

Was it necessary? Probably not. But I found the in-person time valuable, especially with teammates I’d never met face to face.

Firebase is owned and operated by Google (has been for a while).
Is there a way to find out where the nearest one is?
Yes, but Jack isn’t a micromanager.

Do people actually like the air train? I've never heard anyone say they'd prefer it over a subway that actually went to JFK. (and the increased cost/inability to use OMNY is ridiculous)
Can you provide some more details about what you needed to do to set up your RX100 III? I have the same camera and would love to do the same.

Re:Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio on Wednesday September 22, 2021 @12:03PM (#28617982)
From https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/microsoft-surface-la...:

> The Surface Laptop Studio starts at $1,600 in its base configuration, which includes a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, and integrated graphics. Pre-orders start today, with a launch next week to line up with the release of Windows 11.

Seems like pretty low specs for that price point, no?

Is this true? I've never heard that before. (But makes sense)

Interesting that the Digital Wellbeing features that were teased at IO aren't being launched today, but part of _another_ beta that you have to opt in to. (And Pixel series only?)

Where are you finding constructed events for $5 in NYC? Most places I know of are at least double that.

>new ML system in Oreo

Do you mean Tensorflow Lite? That's not part of Oreo, so shouldn't be something people have to wait 2 years for.

Simply unbelievable how much garbage is on that web page without an ad blocker (I put a box around the actual content that appears without having to scroll): http://i.imgur.com/0S2FIAW.png
