My barber earns his fat tip by being my therapist.

They stopped signing new enterprise contracts. Enterprise contracts are what pay the bills in most PAAS/SAAS offerings.

If it's not dead now, it'll die soon enough.

If the latter were true, the permits would have never been granted. The permits took years of back and forth, public and government commentary.

The former is a threat vector but one that can be priced into the ongoing maintenance costs.

You're absolutely right!

My bad. I placed a small buy at around $120, afterward it immediately tanked. Sorry folks!

Not sure about warranty, but a few years ago my mother's 80s(?) era Delta faucet started leaking. I sent a blurry photo to Delta's service team and a few days later had a link to a replacement part and an old manual scanned as a PDF. For a 40 year old product!

Ultimately we replaced the whole faucet and fixture, but that single reply probably made me a customer for life.

> Maybe it will inspire them to hire more engineers

Given Apple's recent software quality, this would likely just let them ship more bugs.

Or in person ads that are so ridiculous you can't _not_ remember them.

I'm talking to _you_, "Yo, Pain Law, Yo" subway guy.

Agreed, such a great structure in NYC's skyline. Lived on 73 for a few years. The contoured windows and benches inside were just as fun as the exterior.

Still don't understand why they stuck a red brick school in the middle and didn't contour it with the stainless steel panels like the rest of the building.

You missed https://tiller.com which uses the same financial connectors as others but dumps the data into a Google/Office365 spreadsheet that you control.

Corporate Memphis or Alegria art?

_Fine,_ I will rewatch 2 hours of Bob Mortimer clips of Would I Lie to You? instead of doing real work.

Note: Freetaxusa.com has not done a good job with Form 3921 (ISO grant exercises) and AMT carryover. If you have exercised ISO grants or later sold stock purchased in years in which you paid AMT, do not use freetaxusa.com. You will lose more in tax costs vs. finding a real CPA willing to go through your nuanced math.

There is massive under-reporting of violent crime across many decades. How can we evaluate that?

Just in my household alone, we've been victim of 4 assault+ attacks in the past 5 years. Two resulted in arrests, zero resulted in charges.

Is that normalized in data from 20 years ago?

Engagement numbers went up and to the right because it requires multiple infuriating clicks and keystrokes to do basic things. Start menu randomly resorted your apps? 2 more clicks to find the app you wanted!

> AI slop tictoc to waste millions of human-hours.

Don't forget the power it consumes from an already overloaded grid [while actively turning off new renewable power sources], the fresh water data centers consume for cooling, and the noise pollution forced on low-income residents.

The number of fake resumes is insane. During reviews I ended up passing a number of fake profiles through because their CVs looked real. None of them showed up to the initial screening call.

There are now AI CVs mimicking real people, so the CVs point to real Linkedin profiles, Github profiles.

Not sure what their end game is unless it's to continually test CV creation or find woefully inept companies that will hire them with limited vetting.

As an Uber rider, I actually love the SFO setup. The walk is short enough, there's actually enough space even during most busy times that there's no crazy honking of drivers trying to get in or out of the pickup zone.

Compare that to the mess that is Uber pickups at JFK, where you have big delays _and_ very poor traffic controls in and out of the pickup zones.

> but if we end up with an abundance of just 1/2 bedroom rental apartments

That's still a massive win. To replace 10 single family homes supporting 2-3 people each with a 9 story building supporting many multiples of that is a win for society.

If the people chasing 3 and 4 bedroom apartments accepted smaller rooms, they could still be economical vs studio/1/2 BR apartments and condos.

Matt had a golden goose and he decided it wasn't golden enough.

I removed/converted my last Wordpress site (commercial and otherwise) last month.

You're absolutely right! It is Christmas. Christmas this year falls on September 8.

Loved the writeup.

Are there any Minecraft clones that operate on a cubic world? Could be really fun building out a base on an edge, or on a corner!

Don't forget tariffs in response to countries enforcing their own laws against an attempted military coup. We're paying higher prices on coffee because President Trump's friend is being charged with trying to overthrow the Brazilian government.

It does on Safari (Mac and iOS) by default on Reddit.

I did as well, yes. It was an easy keyboard shortcut on Macs. For many, many years.

No longer. Just like you can no longer bold key phrases, you can no longer use emdashes if your writing being ID'd as "AI" is important (or not).

What _isn't_ common practice is actually copying and posting company material on your blog. Just because a door is unlocked does not give you the right to take materials & post them.

I should be entitled to the same amount of space, carry-on space and under seat space, as every other passenger paying for the same class of ticket.

If I chose to not bring two items (or three, or four, as many passengers do because there is no enforcement of rules), I should get to place it in the overhead bins and not have to cramp my feet.

Amazing.

Could turn this into a 4 color display at the cost of drawing speed?

Even if SFDC is configured correctly, any sufficiently large or old instance of SFDC may have dozens of other systems plugged into it. Many of which get default access to everything because SFDC security and permission configuration is so byzantine.

Perhaps some life insurance products fall into that category. For many families, though, term life insurance plays a big part into ensuring financial security if one income earner dies prematurely.
