But then anyone else that can see my phone screen can read them :)

Equating starting a business with gambling in a casino is asinine.

You have a lot more impact as a founder over whether that business succeeds than you would ever have over a wager in roulette or a 4 game NFL parlay on Sunday.

Both are risks. Only one is a gamble.

> move to a cheaper place and/or find a better job.

Moving costs thousands. Finding a better job is good advice but often requires investment in yourself (education costs money).

How could anyone move to a lower COL area for less than $1000? A security deposit and first month's rent will be more than that almost anywhere you can "find a better job". And that's ignoring the cost to move your things. (But maybe you didn't have any things or expect someone to sell/start over?)

It's clear your intentions here are good but you're giving poor advice. You're out of touch.

Using this as a retort is totally missing the point.

Ok so I only have to save up 7,000 now, so I can do it in 6 years, I guess. But that extra 1800 a month I'm continuing to save each year afterwards by forgoing my late doesn't actually cover the 7% APR on the additional loaned 33,000

(interest rates only high as of recent, but still)

worse in subaru's... both front speakers AND the mic. bluetooth phone calls no longer work, and, your music only comes from the back.

similarly it is /possible/ though a giant PITA to take apart the front of your car and make those work again, per some blog post i saw 4 years ago and can no longer find.

Legally prohibited? How?

Rent stabilized units are a small percentage of the NYC rental market (and change tenants much less frequently than the rest of the market)

Brokers seem to be able to capture the value just because they’re entrenched. Demand has outpaced supply, and landlords are happy to outsource the majority of the tenant search process.

Large apartment buildings with leasing offices capture the value you’re saying can’t be captured. There are tons of comparable “no fee” apartment buildings with a rent that’s 15% higher.

So — do you pay a 15% fee once, up front, and hope you don’t need to move? Or do you pay it on your rent?

Edit: ok the percentage of rent stabilized units in NYC is actually a good bit higher than I thought. But my second assertion still stands — they practically never change over. So it feels like they’re an impossibly small part of the market. You won’t find rent stabilized deals advertised.

“Legal obligation to shareholders” is absolutely a thing, in the USA anyway. “Fiduciary duty” is the term to Google.

I think the iPhone came first before the iPod touch

It’s obvious by the next few sentences that he means “others interpret this in an ambiguous way”, given how many people he says get it wrong

it takes two is great, but actually requires coordination, and probably hard for a 5 year old

new super mario bros wii (and whatever the latest successor of that is)

distrokid charges a flat fee to put your stuff on the distributors. they're holding up their end

spotify is distributing without paying the artists

Well we already have:

- distribution to ~expedia~ booking (opentable)

- conferences

- niche-y saas products (resy, tock, opentable, etc)

- VPs of sales and revenue (at big restaurant groups)

The person you replied to is just suggesting that restaurants often don't take your card over the phone, bypassing the opportunity for them to charge you a cancel fee. Vs. using their online booking platform to do it

On Resy, at least, there is not dynamic pricing (though, in theory, restaurants can apply different deposit/cancel fees to different "reservation types", or different days. But nothing dynamic based on demand or anything)

Resy's original business model, too (though they worked with the restaurants directly)

Isn't CarPlay only over USB?

And either way -- just keep supporting connection over USB and it's not a problem?

BCH was BTC in 2009, iirc

A VPS paid monthly isn’t “cloud”. It’s just a server.

“Cloud” tends to assume elasticity, pay by minute, managed software services, etc.

“On the internet” isn’t cloud automatically

That was probably true in 2017, for on prem jira. JIRA cloud today is all that plus poor software quality.

You're probably right, they may struggle, but they'll learn.

I had a similar issue with my parents.

The most common problem is signing up for new services on their phone. On their Windows computer, in a web browser, their password manager's browser extension is great at suggesting generated passwords and saving new accounts. But on mobile it takes a few steps and app switches, which they don't love (and one parent forgets and often has to go to the other for help).

Logins are usually well integrated (my family uses iOS, and Dashlane; I assume 1password works just as well)

Once your company is a certain size, work emails only get sent to work devices. Not sure what you’re getting at with hoping they’re not clicking through from their work computer. Of course they are.

But yes if a high enough percentage of employees are signing up, there’s safety in numbers.

That’s a pretty tough gig.

What’s your title?

Are you expected to write code while “on call”?

He’s allowed to do whatever he wants (including not starting a competitor). But it’s bad from a negotiation perspective to let that out

Also bad from a business perspective. It likely would cost way less than 10m to build a competitor, functionality wise.

Reddit from 2017 or so is open source!

If it’s for performance, it’s not a layoff. You had to fire them.

On my 21 Subaru I disable lane assist unless I’m on the highway. It’s too strong on the wheel, and there are too many construction related lane issues near me that have almost caused accidents for me multiple times.

Similarly “wake me up in 12 minutes”. But you get alarms instead of “timers”

Usually not in my experience, as long as it’s within a short time (5 minutes?) since booking.

(2) is how private equity tends to operate.

You’re correct about the definition.

And, no, lbos are the buyer borrowing a lot to buy another company, while using the assets of the acquisition as collateral. The debt is still in the buyer’s name AFAIK (may be wrong)
