    You can turn on a feature that will not auto-add invites to your calendar if sent from "unknown senders". The downside (significant IMO) is that "unknown senders" is based on Googl…

    Firstly, I want to offer my sincere apologies for how we mishandled this. You are absolutely right: we should have done a better job communicating how this change was rolling out. …

    We definitely considered it and we talked openly with the Dropbox team as well. I feel very good about the future of Reclaim.

    I appreciate the candor, and the support for Reclaim. Part of why we went with Dropbox was strong alignment for what the future of work can look like. Also because unlike many tech…

    As a founder of an increasingly complex SaaS service ( https://reclaim.ai ) I love the mission. I'll be checking it out. Good luck!

    NRQL (New Relic Query Language) supports SELECT … FROM as well as FROM … SELECT. I still just live with SELECT … FROM. Too many decades of experience have locked in this habit.

    I agree that we should all avoid HP. Just the worst. But the Brotherly love might also seem misplaced, at least according to one HN thread from last year: https://news.ycombinator.…

    Can anyone please de-lingo this for me? Is Gemini parallel to Bard or parallel to PaLM 2 or… something else? In our experience OpenAI’s APIs and overall model quality (3.5, 4, trai…

    I have preorders in for the R1S, the Volvo EX90, and the Kia EV9. I passed once already on buying the R1S when they had one in town available for immediate purchase, simply because…

    I don't think this sounds quite like my startup, but perhaps it was Reclaim.ai? Either way, would love for you to check it out :)

    They were having a major outage at the same time. See their status page. But yes, a CAPTCHA for an API is pretty silly. We (reclaim.ai) have seen this before. In June 2020 it was h…

    Nice work! Do you have plans to bring the same low friction deployment to mobile?

    Totally. But they aren't even close to the level of service I get on my other car (Honda).

    Yes. They would meet you at your home or work and work on it there or leave you with a nice loaner if they needed to take it. I haven't been offered a Tesla loaner in years when I …
