Great perspective. I had not considered the effect of school shootings on this topic. Not a parent, but I suspect this has really driven parents to a place of fear (justifiably), leading to a need to ALWAYS know if their kid is ok at any moment, in schools and in general

This was super helpful, I have always wondered how this all worked

Reminds me a lot of the Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Lot of space travel concepts explored there similar to this.

> It was at some point while I was thinking about adding extra countries to represent seas that it was time to call the automation quits, and just make the map manually. This has some advantages – I get to choose the overall layout, it’s much easier to include stylistic elements, and I don’t have to spend ages describing to a computer what common sense is.

Though this is casually thrown out by the author and empathetically chuckled at by most of us, I this points to a problem worth exploring. In the wake of the hype around recent AI advancements, we can often view computers and software as capable of anything. But often the limits of our current computing systems are made glaringly obvious, such as stylistic design and a "common sense" disconnect articulated here. An area worth our attention and a domain possessing potential for innovation.

I like this view, though many people aren't just purchasing the phone from Apple, they are purchasing the OS and integration into the Apple ecosystem. Definitely think the user should have the option to pick the app store though

Lived in Barcelona for two summers, loved going back over the metro lines (one of the best things about the city imho) and looking at all my favorite places. Excellent detail!!

I wouldn't say it is necessarily immature to use a paywall as opposed to ads. I for one sometimes prefer paying for a site just so i dont have to see ads.

Though I do agree, the bait and switch aspect of finessing seo and such leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Glad google penalizes such behavior

Definitely not interested in giving ol Zuck my passport and bank statements

For one our president

I agree with the general sentiment of this comment, but would add that the employee breakdown should match the applicant pool's demographics, not the demographic breakdown at large. For example, to expect a gender breakdown close to 50-50 would be unrealistic in software engineering roles since generally women are less represented in those roles.

Though id love to see this shift (Women in stem!!)

Would appreciate an easier way to download and run this! The steps on the readme are pretty long, at least for me (Mac user)

While amazon may not be as innovative as other FAANG companies, they do have execution down to a science. Supply chain, AWS, etc. all work WAY better than competitors in the market

Ego can be such a hindrance for all kinds of interactions, professional or otherwise
