If there was that large of a market for it why wouldn’t existing suppliers just scale their production?

It might help someone, or help change how we help (or don't help) people struggling with addiction. Go for it.

It’s an election campaign CRM that allows you to identify and turn out your voters.

Not mentioning ClojureScript in an article like this is an odd omission.

Well that’s terrifying.
Re:The Great Barrington Declaration on Sunday October 11, 2020 @12:37AM (#24743761)
I find this hard to take seriously since it doesn’t say anything about comprehensive testing and contact tracing.
He sounds like an asshole.

What are AMP stories?

Graham not being able to appreciate something until he experiences it himself is peak PG.

Re:Snopes Under Legal Attack from Salon.com on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @10:44AM (#21514945)
Thanks for the background. I'm sympathetic to Snopes but it's very un-Snopes-like for them to leave this context out of their post.
Re:Why Self-Checkout Is and Has Always Been the Worst on Saturday March 09, 2019 @11:52AM (#19347011)
Even with all their problems I still prefer self checkout for three reasons: 1) Speed due to the line being shorter and being able to scan and pay for my items quicker than the cashier typically can 2) not having to interact with a stranger if I don't feel like it and 3) I can bag my items the way I like them to be bagged.
Re:Bloomberg’s ‘The Big Hack’ on Thursday October 04, 2018 @02:50PM (#18142492)
What if Apple or Amazon didn't find the chips but other investigators found them in Apple/Amazon servers. That would make their denial wording technically true. They didn't say no chips were found, they just said they didn't find any.
Even the stupidest product ideas make the front page. I would hate to see what gets discarded.
Why aren't corporate employees held accountable for their abuses of power? I think there's more accountability in government because government records are generally open to the public vs corporate records which are private.
Re:Ask HN: Does FB's chronological sort work for you? on Wednesday March 28, 2018 @05:20PM (#16702063)
It's completely inconsistent. I would expect to see reverse chronological of all activity of everyone I follow but whatever it is it's not that. I can't really identify how it chooses which posts to display.

No, it hasn't worked for years.

He sounds like kind of an ass. Whenever I stay at an Airbnb I try to minimize any disruption as if I were staying at a friend's house. Is it this guy? https://www.logankugler.com/

Re:The case for ending Amazon’s dominance on Saturday February 17, 2018 @11:07AM (#16401249)
If anything it should be split into 3 companies - retail, logistics, and AWS.
Couldn't they "double" their revenue by doubling their prices and giving everyone a 50% discount?
In the claim in the article that they're inflating top line revenue growth, is the argument that they're selling a $100 ride but giving a $20 discount and calling it $100 in top line revenue?
How are they transferring the BTC to your wallet without paying the network/mining/transaction fees?
This! I don't want to see any video content.
Re:Confidential metrics for Snapchat features on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @04:33PM (#16110332)
None of the stories in the Discover section ever appeal to me. Snapchat is great for sexting and in the gay community is used by a lot of people to create/share amateur porn. Maybe they could monetize that somehow.
Pretty sure there are US freight airlines that still use 747s.
