As usual on HN, I find the pragmatic response about 3 pages down in the replies to an extremely hyperbolic top-level comment. I also don't want to diminish the concerns around Gith…

Most services I use integrate Plaid. I believe Plaid is just a federated authentication glue that accesses your bank's systems and is granted access to account balances and ACH det…

I feel like the branding really shot it in the foot. If they'd named it something less "startup-y" sounding, and marketed it as secure, instant transfers backed by the banks themse…

So, the current situation if you get scammed via Venmo/PayPal or other electronic payment methods is for the FBI / local law enforcement to subpoena the provider for records about …

Unrelated, but just curious: Why did you get rid of a car because of a bad battery and a $100 part?

I didn’t know about Walmart’s innovation labs til recently. Might not be as innovative as I think, but it certainly changed the way I view them.

Agreed. And a big part of this is a person’s definition of perfect weather. I’m in SoCal just coastal enough to not get very high highs, but lows rarely pass 55. But, if SF was exa…

Back at ya! I also don’t agree with all the laws either, btw, but overall I found them far less onerous than they were hyped to be by my IDPA (sport shooting club) friends asserted…

As were most laws that are now criticized. We actually have a huge amount of Conservatives in CA. It’s far from the leftist whatever-the-heck you probably hear. Make sure you can a…

Also a gun owner in CA. Came from a state with open carry/no license needed. I found CA’s laws to be quite reasonable; I was told all variety of stories about guns being taken from…

*asking people to. Also, public health policies have to track with population density. This would be a massive encroachment on freedom in rural Texas or somewhere of that nature, b…

How is public transit in Austin? Scalable for urban sprawl? I don’t know much about it from an on-the-ground POV

That is correct. Source: just bought my first home in CA. Taxes were surprisingly reasonable

I think they said “the environment”. Whether that’s important to you is - as always - completely up to you in this country. I don’t understand the animosity between different state…

You are correct; Walmart actually does have some nice innovation labs around the country doing some great work. Forgot about that and Walmart is an easy target for a lot of things …

Why do you think this is? I find it really bizarre. My own family in the Midwest kind of passive aggressively implies that they hope I “feel the effect” of these “oppressive laws” …

I always wonder if these commenters even live here? I moved from (edit: one of) the most deregulated states in the Union to CA and I have yet to see any tangible example of this. I…

I imagine we will just have more innovation centers. Nothing wrong with that and certainly not deserving of the “California is dying” hype

Ironically, a ton of SV companies have been working on ways to keep drivers employed (and possibly even better paid, plus a safer job closer to home). Regularly overlooked when SV …

They’re evergreen anywhere you find people who low-key wish they could live in CA but can’t. It’s weird; just enjoy your state and do the best to make it better. Truly don’t get wh…
