Elon thinks that because humans can do all this with two eyes his cars should be able to do it with just cameras. Literal truth.

Yeah Denver turned one of the residential roads in my neighborhood into an official bike road two years ago. They replaced stop signs with roundabouts, put up tons of signage, and where there are lights at major crossings they put sensors that are triggered by bikes.

Even though it’s still shared with cars, it’s so much more pleasant and safe because they are more aware and polite.

Went from biking being just a thing I do to get around to taking my son to and from school on his bike every day.

I did Galvanize in the first half of 2016. 6 month program that I’m glad I did over some of the shorter ones.

Salary was 90k coming out. I make 125 now, could be making much more but I chose to sacrifice some salary to be at a place with a mission I support.

I was a special ed teacher before and had never made more than 70k.

From one YC nonprofit to another, this looks awesome! Amazing work and really interesting to read about the stack powering it.

We run a free tutoring service for low income students and this is something we deal with pretty regularly so def gonna look into this more and may reach out directly.

Even as someone who has invested time in learning to write regexp, they are still hard to read and maintain. This project looks super cool!

Totally, the problem is all expectations. I bought a NordicTrack S22i (their peloton competitor) in early 2019, and love it. I pay like $450 a year or something for my family subscription to them and occasional maintenance on the hardware. Pretty sure NordicTrack has a decent profit margin and is a nicely sustainable business given that my mom had a NordicTrack 30 years ago.

They have the same features as Peloton in terms of classes and stuff, but nobody is looking to them to be the next Netflix. That’s the space Peloton is playing in.

I used to pride myself on my ability to fit into small parking spaces and parallel park even big vans pretty precisely, and a backup camera blew all that out of the water because I can fit anywhere now.

My little GTI with a backup camera made me an invincible parking machine.

The thing that kills me is even these investors seem to see Peloton as a hell of a lot more than it is. The “peers” they list are Netflix and Roku. No. Peloton’s peers are NordicTrack and, you know, other companies that make exercise equipment and sell fitness subscriptions.

Wow, real comic book villain energy here.

“A video game company messed with my favorite spell, so I decided to go all in on wrecking the planet in the name of capitalism.”

I think the OP was trying to reference the difference between libel laws in the US and UK regarding who has the burden of proof.

This. We use a non-Google analytics product that we could even move to self-hosting if needed. But the marketing director basically was like “This is better than GA, and I will use it for almost everything, but we have to have GA also because it shows as conversions.”

Another classic is his review of “North”

I remember for the Friar’s Club roast of Rob Reiner one comedian just read that review.

“ I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.”

My Bachelor’s is in marketing and the main thing I learned from it is I didn’t have the stomach/moral flexibility for marketing.

But there are so many good games that have none of this bullshit. Check out Hades. It is so fun. And it is self-contained. The dev doesn’t even have interest in making an expansion despite demand because they made a fun, complete game and they’re done.

There are lots of games outside the pay-to-play arena, even AAA ones. The Playstation Spider-Man games are another great example.

Unless those get support, they may actually disappear.

Yeah my MIL had a 2012 Dell that my son uses at her house. It was running Windows 7, and took about 10 minutes to boot and the same to shut down.

I put Pop_OS on it. It has Firefox and Minecraft which are the only two things he cares about, and it runs so much more quickly. She wanted to throw it out but now it’s less junk in the pile.

Nah he’s that crazy. Ghostbusters was pretty close to a possible documentary for him.

If you’re gonna call him Mr., then you call him Mr. Tibbs.

As an American my favorite thing to hear British and similarly influenced (Australia/New Zealand) people say is “h.” We say “aych” but they say “haych.” I don’t know why but an English dev saying “haych tee tee pee” is just one of my favorite sounds.

Our society is being destroyed by purposeful misinformation on the internet. I don’t think this argument is what you think it is.

Alpha Protocol was removed from stores over music licensing issues. I freaked out because I didn’t have it downloaded, but it’s still in my library and I can download it. You just can’t even view it now if you don’t already own it.

Love the part where you take the example of Boris Johnson and his staff, and instead of going “What wrong-headed idiots,” you instead somehow take away “It’s the epidemiologists who are wrong-headed idiots!”

There are plenty of political leaders who have treated the virus casually and died. Yes, many of them are hypocrites who say one thing publically and do another. I just have no idea who you get from your first paragraph to your second.

Yes, your third paragraph. Literally.

My wife and I have the Cinemark subscription and used to see an average of 1-2 movies per month. My son has a sleepover with his grandma once a week and we have date night.

We might start that up again once he’s fully vaccinated (mid-December) but otherwise we haven’t seen a movie in theaters since February 2020. I know the world has been open for most people for awhile now but for a lot of us it hasn’t been.

I’m really looking forward to taking my son to a movie in a theater for the first time in his life, maybe on Christmas day (he was too young when the pandemic started).

Between Something Awful forum members where most of us went “huh, novel, whatever” and didn’t get wrapped up in it.

macOS does do this without scripts. It remembers combinations of attached monitors and where I want them, absolutely.

More like 75%. Roblox is a terrible company that pays company scrip to exploit kids.

Yeah like 7 years ago I was thinking about moving into a marketing role and bought a book on social media. The introduction included a bit where the author bought a Facebook ad wishing his wife a happy anniversary because he could target her so precisely.

Yeah it’s apps for me. I live my life by my Omnifocus setup. They have a browser-based “companion” that I can and have used occasionally but it’s not the same.

Airmail is the other big one.

There’s just nothing that supports Linux and iOS hah, and I want to keep similar workflows across them.

And I actually ran PopOS as a daily driver for about 6 months during the pandemic, I’ve tried!

It’ll be even grander when I don’t have to fear for my son’s life because of a variant whose growth and spread was spurred by ignoramuses who reinforce each other’s ignorance.
